I have been tired recently because of some reasons which I do not know how to express in English. I do not sleep well so that I do not have enough energy to study and do other things. I have no classes this afternoon. I intended to take a nap but I found I couldn't fall asleep even though I felt very tired. I kept waking all the time when I lay on my bed, which drove me crazy. Now I have slight headache and I ache all over.0 votedOctober 11, 20160Seven Queens in British History- Elizabeth I (1553-1603)
Elizabeth I is famous as the Virgin Queen. She never married and didn’t nominate any successor after her death. Her reign was called ”the golden age”.
Anne Boleyn was King Henry's eighth wife. She had a daughter. Queen Anne was accused of being a traitor and adultery by some powerful people in the court. The king finally lost his infatuation towards her and ordered her death. She was beheaded in the Tower of London by a hired French swordsmen.
There are many legends about Elizabeth I why she didn’t get married. Elizabeth I was very tall and liked hunting very much, She was very athletic and was able to fight like a warrior, although she never took part in any war but she still had a knight's armour which was designed to fit a female Queen. Some believe that she might be a man because she was so tall and strong. She usually wore clothes with lots of decorations around her neck so It is hard to say that if she had an Adam’s apple. She hid her gender from the public. That is why she couldn’t to marry anyone and risk revealing her gender ambiguity. Others claim that she was emotionally scarred permanently. She couldn’t trust any man due to the fact that her father killed her mother. Others think she remained single to be available to deal with the powerful nations without the distraction of marriage. She was diplomatic and astute and she exploited the benefits from outside world as a potential ally to many countries.
She was a successful Queen and made an important reform to reinforce her reign. At the start she depicted herself as a neutral queen, a neither a Catholic nor a protestant by implementing the power of national rule rather than by religion. She also restored Mary I’s religious policy. Thirdly, she imposed a regime that all of the religions had to follow her rule. None could break this harsh regime.
During her reign an English phrase emerged, “ Eat no fish on Friday”, Many people at that time wanted to show their loyalty to the Queen and to be distinguished from the protestants. The iconic slogan for them was ”don’t eat fish”.
Above all, she was a great Queen and brought prosperity to England and Ireland.0 votedOctober 11, 20161How to Live a Low-Carbon Life
As is known to us countries with unsophisticated development of manufacturing, the environment around us has become worse and worse. (You could have said, "The environment around us has deteriorated"). Furthermore the deterioration is made worse by natural disasters such as more frequent hurricanes, tornadoes and the rise in sea levels due to Global Warming. No doubt it has become a serious problem and we have come to realise that something must be done to prevent these disasters. Of course, living a low-carbon life is a positive way to deal with the problem of Global Warming.
There are various means of doing this. I will just pick out several simple but useful strategies that people prefer to use. Firstly, to decrease the emission of CO2, we can choose going out by bike or bus instead of automobiles.The more common and simple transport we take, the less carbon dioxide is released. The second useful way to live a low-carbon lifestyle is to choose the so called "new energy" such as solar energy, hydro-electric power and wind turbines. Some research conducted by the environmental scientists figured out that the main reason for the increase in carbon dioxide emissions is unlimited usage of original energy like coal, wood and gas. Burning these materials will produce a high levels of CO2 and sometimes CO which is the reason for another significant environmental problem called the Ozone Hole. This phenomenon goes hand in hand with CO2, so we should try our best to avoid using these old ways of making power. Last but not least, not only the people but also the government should raise awareness of the dangers that High-Carbon usage brings. Some environmental laws should be revised so that they can fit our current situation. The local government should introduce public facilities such as self-renting bicycles in order to encourage the local people to try a low-carbon lifestyle.
In conclusion, there are many different ways to reduce CO2 emission, but I think the most elementary, but preferred way is to spread the concept of "Green Life". Only when most of us admit the importance of low-carbon life, will the world become a better place. Just keep in mind that our destinies are linked with the Environment.0 votedOctober 11, 20161
