To Help the Needy
Nowadays more and more people take delight in offering help to the needy. It has been identified as a popular trend in our society so that we can often see relevant news. As far as I am concerned, there are several reasons accounting for this phenomenon.
To begin with, helping others, especially those in need, is pushing forward with the advancement of the society. Only all the citizens are delighted to help the disadvantaged group, can an favourable environment be fostered and a friendly society be realized soon. Secondly, we have been emphasized the importance of carrying and developing our traditional virtues. As is known to all, it’s not only one of the traditional virtues of China, but also an obligation for us today to help others to overcome difficulties and get through a tough time.
From what has been discussed above, one thing for certain is to provide help to the needy is what we are doing and we should do in the future. At the end, we will succeed in creating a harmonious society.

To write an essay that begins with the sentence 'nowadays more and more people choose to live an environmentally friendly lifestyle."
参考范文:Nowadays more and more people choose to live an environmentally friendly lifestyle. According to a recent survey conducted by CCTV, a high proportion of 59.4 percent of people started to pay more attention to environmental protection.
There may be a combination of factors which can explain this considerable progress. A large-scale education campaign was launched to inform the public that many people especially those in poverty-stricken areas are still suffering from starvation or resource exhaustion. As a result, more civilians realized the seriousness of the situation and thus wanted to do something by leading an environmental-friendly lifestyle. The wide popularity of new energy vehicles is an example. By shifting from traditional automobiles to more environmental-friendly ones, individuals reduced the exhaust emission which is detrimental to the environment.
In brief, taking into account all of these factors, we may reach the conclusion that environmental protection is everybody’s duty and thanks to the combined efforts of all people, we can surely have a greener future.

翻译赵州桥
赵州桥建于隋朝,公元605年左右,长50.82米,宽9.6米,跨度37.37米。天才建筑师李春设计并监督了桥的建设。赵州桥结构新颖、造型优美。桥有一个大拱,在大拱的两端各有两个小拱,帮助排泄洪水、减轻桥梁重量并节省石材。建成以来,该桥经受了多次洪水和地震,但其主体结构仍然完好无损,至今仍在使用。赵州桥是世界桥梁建筑史上的一项创举,是中国古代文明史上的一项杰出成就。类似设计的桥梁直到14世纪才在欧洲出现,比赵州桥晚了700多年。
The Zhaozhou Bridge, built in the Sui Dynasty around 605, is 50.82 meters long, 9.6 meters wide and 37.37 meters across. The talented architect Li Chun designed and supervised the bridge's construction. The Zhaozhou Bridge boasts a novel structure and beautiful shape. The bridge has a large arch with two smaller arches at each end to help drain flood, reduce the weight of the bridge and save stone. Since its completion, the bridge has withstood numerous floods and earthquakes, but its main structure remains intact and is still utilized today. The Zhaozhou Bridge is a pioneering undertaking in the history of bridge construction in the world and an outstanding achievement in the history of ancient Chinese civilization. Bridges with similar design did not appear in Europe until the 14th century, over 700 years after the Zhaozhou Bridge.
