大學英語作文 篇1

　　The Toilet Tank

　　Stanley had just finished brushing his teeth. He noticed water flowing into the toilet bowl. That's strange, he thought. The water continued to seep into the bowl. Stanley lifted the toilet tank top. The tank was half full, but the water was slowly rising. What in the world is going on, he wondered. He had not just flushed the toilet. He continued to watch the water rise in the tank. The water got up to the Water Line mark in the tank, where it was supposed to stop rising. But it continued to rise.

　　Stanley was alarmed. Is this thing going to overflow, he wondered. He went into his bedroom and grabbed some towels. When he returned to the bathroom, the toilet was silent. The water had stopped rising at one inch above the water line. But that was only about two inches below the top of the tank. That was too close for comfort. Stanley put two and two together. He had heard water running for more than a week now, but he had assumed it was his neighbor’s toilet. Now he knew it was his own.

　　He called Henry the handyman. Henry was a really nice guy. His rates were much cheaper than a regular plumber’s rates. Henry said he’d be over the next day. The next day, Henry arrived only 30 minutes late, which was “on time” for Henry. He tried to turn off the toilet tank shutoff valve on the bathroom wall, but the valve was “frozen.” “We don’t want to mess with that,” he told Stanley. “That valve is too easy to bust, and it would take a lot of work to put a new one on.”

　　Henry went out to the front of the apartment building and turned off the main water valve. No one was home in the building except Stanley, so Henry didn’t have to warn the neighbors about the shutoff. Back in the bathroom, Henry flushed the toilet. Then he used a couple of rags to dry and clean the bottom of the toilet tank. He unscrewed the plastic Fluidmaster 400A Fill Valve and removed it. He replaced it with a new fill valve. “When the water keeps running, it’s usually your fill valve. It could also be the flapper, but your flapper looks okay. Plus, it’s a weird-looking flapper. I’d probably have to special order it.”

　　Henry tightened the plastic nut below the tank, securing the fill valve. “You mustn't over-tighten this, because it’ll break,” he said. “In the old days, we used rubber gaskets and metal nuts and washers. Nowadays, everything is cheap plastic.” He went back outside, turned on the main valve, and returned. He flushed the toilet, waited for the bowl to refill and for the new fill valve to shut off the water. It shut off exactly at the Water Line mark.

　　“We got lucky,” Henry said. “I don’t have to fiddle around adjusting the fill valve. That’s good, because I’m a little late for another job right now.” Henry flushed the toilet again, and watched the bowl and the tank fill. "That does it," he told Stanley. Stanley thanked him and paid him.

　　Three hours later, Stanley noticed a puddle of water, hardly bigger than a quarter, on the bathroom floor. He called Henry, who said the plastic nut just needed a little tightening. But because he was working all that day on another job, he wouldn’t be able to come over until tomorrow. He told Stanley to put a big plastic bowl under the tank and not to worry. “It’s just a tiny leak. Your bathroom won’t get flooded.”

　　Never too late to learn

　　When hearing the saying “Learning is a daily experience and a lifetime mission.” we can easily perceive its connotation.Apparently, this saying can be naturally associated with the significance of lifelong learning.

　　In our daily life, it is a common phenomenon for us to learn something for a variety of purposes.Meanwhile, a host of intelligent people find it less likely to succeed, if they just study one subject for a limited time.

　　Taking a look around, we can notice a great many examples like this: college students only usually spend two weeks learning all the subjects to pass final exams. They usually learn knowledge in a short time for a practical purpose, while ignoring the essence of learning. However,it is lifelong learning that enables people to accumulate adequate knowledge, skills and experience for their future life.

　　As a matter of fact, wise people in large numbers have come to realize the importance of lifelong learning.As a college student, I am convinced that it is of great necessity for youngsters to cultivate the awareness of lifelong learning.If young people try their best to enhance their various abilities in their whole life, the future of their work and study will be hopeful and promising.

　　活到老，學到老

　　當聽到“學習是每日的經歷和一生的使命”時，我們很容易理解它的內涵。 顯然，這句話可以自然地與終身學習的意義相聯系。

　　在我們的日常生活中，為了各種各樣的目的學習一些東西是一種常見的現象。與此同時，一群聰明的人發現，如果他們只在有限的時間內學習一門學科，他們就不太可能成功。

　　環顧四周，我們可以注意到很多這樣的例子:大學生通常只花兩周時間學習所有的科目，通過期末考試。他們通常在短時間內學習知識，以達到實際目的，而忽略學習的本質。然而，終身學習使人們為他們的'未來生活能夠積累足夠的知識、技能和經驗。

　　事實上，聰明的人已經開始認識到終身學習的重要性。 作為一名大學生，我深信青少年培養終身學習的意識是很有必要的。如果年輕人在一生中盡最大努力提高他們的各種能力，他們工作和學習的未來將充滿希望、前景廣闊。

大學英語作文 篇3

　　it was a sunny balmy afternoon at the end of a leisurely summer. i was driving on a winding country road with a lady friend. little did i know that i was to have a close call that would have almost ruined the rest of my life.

　　earlier that day, a friend called me to tell me that our mutual friend rosy was arriving back from taiwan after the summer holidays. since there was no airport in the immediate vicinity of the university, she would need a ride to come back on campus.

　　being mildly interested in that girl, i jumped at the chance to play hero. the trip was not particular long or arduous. i was to pick her up from a friend’s home that was a mere 80 miles from campus—a piece of cake, i said to myself.

　　everything went well. the country road was almost deserted. visibility was good and i was not driving very fast. the conversation was lively but not distracting.

　　about half an hour into the drive, i rounded a corner and noticed two small children, aged around 10, waiting to cross the road after getting off their school bus. my mind was not particularly focused on them because i thought they would not cross the road when a truck was coming through on their side. the two kids looked to their left, watching the truck intensely. as soon as the truck passed, and without a thought, they started to dash across the road. i was petrified, to say the least. my heart almost leaped out of my throat. time seemed to have come to a standstill. it was like a nightmare coming into reality. i felt i was in the slow motion crash scene of a movie. i did not even have the time to brake or steer clear.

　　by providence smiled on me that day. the two kids missed my car by less than an inch. imagine what would have happened if i had hit them? they would have been killed instantly. i would have been charged with manslaughter and thrown into jail. my career would be over before it even got started. the kind of inhumane treatment i would receive from fellow inmate, i could only guess but hate to imagine. i will never be a whole person again even if i were to be released early for good behavior. my life would be over. even if i had a good lawyer that could have gotten me off, i would have carried that guilt in my mind for the rest of my life.

　　even today, thirty-si years later, the memory of that day is still fresh on my mind. i have my lucky star to thank for having both parties gotten off unscathed.
