【范文】
My hometown is Weihai. It is a city located in the east of Shandong Province. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides. The air is fresh, beautiful and rich。
The World Is Getting Smaller and Smaller
翻译 我有一个幸福的家庭。我家有五口人。我的祖父母、父母和我。我的祖父母退休了。他们每天去散步。我父亲是一名医生。他有时白天工作，有时晚上工作。我妈妈是一名教师。她教数学。她非常爱她的学生。我是一名学生。
Most of us may have such experiences: when you go to some place far away from① the city you live in and think you know nobody there，you are surprised to find that you should run into② one of your old classmates on the street! Perhaps both of you would cry out，“What a small world!”
Why is the world getting smaller and smaller? For one thing③，modern technology has made various means of transportation more and more advanced. Buses，trains，planes，taxis，ships are available in more cities of the world. They carry goods and passengers to and from every corner of the world. For another thing④，with the development of modern society，people are contacting with one another more frequently. Everyday we must deal with⑤ a lot of people known or unknown to us before. The more advanced a society is，the more contacts with others we make.
一般现在时写英语作文：Today is Sunday. We are all at home. My mother is cleaning the room. My father is reading a newspaper. My grandfather is playing cards. My brother is watching TV。
So we draw to the conclusion⑥ that as long as⑦ technology makes progress，the world will be getting smaller and smaller.
And now I am doing homework. I am doing math. My sister is helping me with it. I am very glad.译文 我经常在晚上做作业。但有时我会在中午或周日做。我明天下午做。明天早上我将去公园。

【点评】
本文是一篇根据汉语提纲展开的议论文。
文章开头以现实说法，指出他乡遇故知时的感叹：世界真小——从而点明了主题。接着，作者在文章第二段提出问题：世界为什么变得越来越小呢？一方面，由于现代化的交通工具越来越发达，另一方面，由于人们之间的交往越来越频繁，一般现在时作文初一。此段中，一般现在时英语作文带翻译，For one thing… For another thing…的使用，使得作者对原因的陈述层次非常清楚。此段最后一句The more … the more … 这种比较级的连用更增添了文章的文学特色。最后一段得出结论：技术越发达，一般现在时的小短文50个单词，世界就越小。
全文共分三段，一般过去时的英语作文60词，意思上层层递进，层次分明，一般过去时英语作文60字，结论合理，所用语言恰当，且具有一定的文学水平。
