暑假里的一天，我去姑姑家玩。姑姑家有很多好玩的东西，在她家了许多有趣的事，但是有一件事现在想起来还十分有趣，那就是姑姑家一条名叫“皮皮”的小狗的故事。

皮皮长得可漂亮了，如果用我们的话说就是“帅”极了！

小狗皮皮每次见到陌生人的时候都会对着那个人大吼几声，当然一开始时我也不例外。但是，“日久生情”，皮皮跟我相处了不到三小时便被我给驯服了。

这天，阳光明媚。被我驯服的皮皮正在屋里睡大觉，突然姑姑拿着拖把正在拖地，把正在做着美梦的皮皮给惊醒了，皮皮十分生气，对姑姑打叫了几声，可一看见拖把便停止了吼叫，朝拖把扑过去，死死咬住，可谓是“情有独钟”。这一有趣的现象被我看见了，便继续观看他的下一步行动。

只见皮皮咬住一根布条不放，时而前腿后落，时而四脚朝天，一会儿是冲浪高手，一会儿是驰骋地板的超级狗狗……我见皮皮对拖把十分来劲，便从姑姑手中接过拖把，在皮皮面前轻轻一晃，对皮皮说“来，乖乖狗！”小狗毫不犹豫一下子咬住布条。我一下一下地拖呀，拉呀，他追着拖把跳呀、跑呀。我和姑姑被这有趣的情景给逗乐了，笑得上气不接下气。

我更来劲了，便把拖把向上抬，这一抬不得了，小狗因为死死咬住布条，所以被吊了起来，前腿悬空，后腿蹬地，跳起了“探戈”，还不时摆弄着尾巴，好像很不服气。不料，这小家伙来了一套华丽的动作—“360度空中旋转”从拖把上跳了下来，但是由于功夫不到家，摔了个“狗啃泥”。

这条搞笑的小狗给我的暑假增添了份乐趣，让我度过了一个愉快的暑假。

A life without a friend is a life without a sun.Friendshipis one of the most important things in everyones life.

Friends are who changes your life just by being a part of it, who makes you believe that there really is good in the world, who convinces you that there really is an unlock door just waiting for you to open it.

When you’re down, friends lift you up. When you lose your way, friends guide you and cheer you on.

So cherish your friend, Do not save your loving speeches.for your friends till they are dead.Do not write them on their tombstones, speak them rather now instead

清凉的微风送走了压抑的学期，丰富多彩的暑假又伴随着炎热的夏日如期而至，我们心中乐开了花，在假期中寻找着自己的快乐。

夏天是炎热的，但此时的我们却是无比惬意的，期盼已久的假期终于来了，我们终于可以不受老师家长的管制，淋漓尽致的玩闹，我们可以吹着小曲，吃着冰棒，看着图书，听着音乐，这样的生活是多么舒适美好啊!

夏天是火辣的，但是夏日的清晨却是朦胧美好的。当东方泛起鱼肚白时，黎明的号角已经吹响，我们又迎来了崭新的一天，清晨是一天的开始，一日之计在于晨，这句话说得真是没错，若是你此时跑下楼去，在马路上漫步，放眼望去，眼前是一片白茫茫的景色，整个城市都笼罩在一片薄雾之中，漫步其中，倒是颇有些烟雨江南的诗情画意，闭上眼睛，嗅一嗅花朵的芬芳，泥土的芳香，感受着空气的新鲜，就连心也沉沦在了其中。俯下身去，望一望碧绿叶尖上晶莹的露珠，那饱和的透明，好似将你的眼睛也过滤了一遍。假期生活是多么的清新美好啊!

夏天也是个多雨的季节。“哗，哗……”这巨大的响声真是符合夏雨风风火火的性格，晶莹的水珠倾泻而下，噼里啪啦的掉落在地面上溅起一圈圈美丽的涟漪。在这风雨交加之际，不妨坐在屋里，戴上耳机，捧一本书，坐在明亮的窗前，聚精会神的盯着书中跳跃的文字，耳边甜美舒缓的音乐久久萦绕，把自己带入另一个空明的世界里，竟也有种与世隔绝的意味。读书是一种艺术的修养，更是一种心灵的沉淀，此时我的心中早已没有了最初的急躁，倒是有些明亮平静得像一面镜子，走进窗边，望着晶莹的雨珠，顿时耳目一新，这就是暑假的惬意生活，真是令人欢乐无比。

许多学生在暑假里是最快乐的了，因为它是那么的漫长，尤其是在暑假的第一天，是那么的高兴！因为这天让我们放松了许多。

但是，在许多学生都摆脱了学习的烦恼时，爸爸却叫我写作文，当时我也不情愿地说我不想写，可是爸爸硬是要我写，而且在没一个星期里都要写满两篇作文给他看。我也不知道爸爸为什么会突然想到让我写作文呢？也许是我的语文成绩不大好，但是我想我应该可以完成这项任务的！

眼看这一天快要过去了，可是我还没有把作文写完，如果现在马上写，可能还来的急，可我连作文要写什么都不知道，只得让爸爸在多给我一天的时间了。

爸爸回来了，他一看见我就问我作文有没有写完，我吞吞吐吐的说没有。爸爸好像有点生气了，叫我待会补一篇。我有点不情愿地说我今天只写这篇作文的一半，明天在写另一半。爸爸想了一会儿就答应了。

过了一会儿，爸爸出去了。我趁爸爸出去的这一段时间我把上半篇作文写完了，剩下的就明天写吧！

其实做每一件事都要一心一意的把它做完。就比如写作文吧，如果分两次写，那么第二次就有可能会忘了接下来该怎么写。所以，做事一定要一次做完，不得马虎。

今年的暑假开始了。这个暑假不光是属于我的暑假，更是属于我妈妈的暑假，是我们两个人的暑假。

暑假还没有开始呢，我妈妈就已经骑着自行车满大街地跑东跑西忙乎了。你问“干什么去的”?——还不是去给我报假期补习班!每天妈妈回到了家都是大汗淋淋。我放学回家后，妈妈就开始像给上司汇报一样，迭迭不休地说帮我报了跳舞班、写字班，还有游泳班……我听的脑袋都快要爆炸了，妈妈竟然还讲得眉飞色舞，看起来很开心很有成就感的样子，可她却不知道我心里比刀绞还要难受：妈妈也不问问我是不是喜欢这些补习班，只顾着“望女成凤”，可我的暑假还有一点空闲吗?还有自己的快乐吗?

我去上游泳课时老师不让家长进去，妈妈就在外面等着我。我在游泳室里的时候，因为有空调，所以感觉不到热，当我换上衣服出来时，我感到好热啊!我扭头看了看妈妈，见她满脸都是汗水，还不停地去擦汗。我走到妈妈的面前，问妈妈：“热不热呀?”妈妈还开玩笑地说：“免费蒸汗了!”……·

我去上写字课回来的时候，火辣辣的太阳当空照，天气太热了，于是妈妈给我买了冰激凌吃，可她自己却舍不得吃，在炎炎烈日下骑着自行车驮着我在马路间飞奔。汗水顺着脖子不停地流，整个后背都湿透了。回到家，我累得躺一下子躺倒在床上，连说话的力气似乎都没有。可，妈妈却顾不得休息，一头钻进厨房，去做我们两个人中午吃的饭了。

此时此刻我终于体会到了母爱的伟大，妈妈为我付出了太多太多。

蒸笼一样的天里，妈妈每天都送我接我陪伴着我往来于各补习班之间。我学习挺辛苦的，可是妈妈比我更辛苦。这个暑假，注定要属于我和妈妈两个人。

If you want to ask me what my drem is. I can’t reply you immediately because I have so many dreams.

When I was very young, I always sang a song to my neighbours. When I finished, they laughed and cheered. At that time, I made up my mind to be a singer. I want to sing many songs in my own style, and spread my happiness to everyone.

At the age of 8, one day, I went to an amusement park with my parents. There were many interesting and exciting things. I played happily. When I wanted to play another one, my mother took me home. So I dreamt to open up a park and let many children play in it while day.

But now, I have grown up. I have ever seen many places of interests in the picture, including White House, Great Wall, Pyramid and so on. How beautiful they are!for this reason, I dreamt to be a traveller and travel round world.

But I know “too many dreams stands for no dream”. So I must try my best to achieve one dream, and I believe I can be successful.

3.How time flies! Today was the forth day since I came here. Everyday was different. Today Mr. Brodie let us Wtch a movie. It’s called “pride and prejudice”. The heroine was very beautiful and clever. The environment was beautiful too. The movie was interesting but I thought our teacher was more lovely than it.

Miss Zhang taught us grammer. It was difficult but important. So we must learn it. It was important for us to learn English. It helped us to talk with foreigners.

In the night, we will have an exam about vocabulary. Our teacher said it was easy so I am sure I can do it well.

4.A good day begins from the morning. In the whole morning, we watched “pride and predudice”. One is lovely and the other is lyrical. They enlarged my idea. I liked them very much. The afternoon was wonderful, too. We read an article about hurricane. There were many new words in it. But we guessed their meaning from the context. I learned a new way to know new words.

Today is great.

>时间太细，指缝太宽。这是一条氤氲着香气的路，我们飞快地走过，来不及迟疑，只有回首。

在懵懂的学语年龄，这对我来说是多么奇妙的一条路，它甚至不像路，而是一间摆满了童话故事的小屋。懒懒的秒针挂着糖浆，走得缓慢而不动声色，我们是时间的富翁。在清晨浅浅的阳光中，我小心翼翼地捻起书页，再轻手轻脚地翻过去，像书中的勇者，生怕惊醒沉睡的恶龙。窗外飘来一阵雨后的清新，在我充满幻想的脑海中，这中间夹杂着幼嫩的月桂树破土献给世界的第一缕芬芳。我好幸运，我是最幸福的人，幼稚的我浸在童话情节中，美美地幻想着。

有一天，我随意地翻开妈妈的《中国古代诗词选》，不经意间瞅到了那一句：“但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。”内心涌起一股似曾相识的感觉，那不是爸爸经常在我耳边吟诵的吗?从小，父母教给我的诗词，我都是当做任务草草背了下来，从未揣摩它们的意义与内涵。但这次，心里某个不知名的地方悸动了，我眼前浮现出一幅景象：皓月当空，银光一泻千里。曾经，面对几乎每夜可见的月亮，我只知道，嫦娥姐姐和小月兔住在上面，如果大人买给我的气球飞走了，那就是她们想玩气球了。可此时，我突然体会到了什么冷……冷冷的月光中透出一种难言的寂寞与思念。我沉入一个清冷的世界，这里弥漫着无边的哀愁。我突然感到惭愧，我所背过的所有诗词，以前我是否因为稚嫩亵渎了你们呢?童年的故事塑造了我的想象力，但我已经长大了，拥有了自己的思考，我看到了表面之下，人们的喜怒哀乐，爱恨情仇。我已经走出了梦的小屋，将一步步，踏上书香之路的干途。

目光扫过“意识流”作家伍尔芙的《墙上的斑点》，在作者看似跳脱的语言中，我镇静地寻找她思维的聚焦点，整理着她由一只蜗牛所延伸出的无穷无尽的念头与内心感受。午后的太阳慵懒地趴在窗台上，随着时间的流逝慢吞吞地爬向我手中的书，不顾我的躲闪，巴巴地将一个书角染成朦胧的金色，我也久久地恍惚在那细密的情绪中……我长大了，不再耽于故事中，不再憩于幼稚中。我将心深深地埋进智者的絮语中，仿佛置身于静谧而幽暗的密林，面对着深沉的石碑，文字的光好像是刹那间从灰色石头中迸发出来，灼目而又引人去追随。

这是一条满溢书香的成长一路，我蓦然回首，只见一路脚印由小至大，由浅及深，匆匆十四年，我已由一个天真地孩童成长为少年。她有着安静的目光，沉稳的思想，渐渐地融入到了这个现实世界。在现实中，她会坚定而自信地走下去，因为书香相伴。

In the afternoon, we play a game. It is so much fun!

Although the class is still boring, I think, in our life, we still can find some happiness!

Nice mood! Nice weather! Nice day!

下面是由小编整理的高分英语作文技巧，欢迎阅读。

要点+结构+逻辑+语法+亮点

要点：实际上中考[微博]英语写作就等于两个字，翻译!因为中考英语写作一般会给出几个要点，要求必须在文章中有所体现。文章写的再好，只要缺少要点就会扣分。所以要点，也就是文章的第二段内容，要做到全，围绕中心。

结构：中考最流行的结构就是三段式，深受各地区中考英语写作阅卷老师的喜爱。为什么尼?因为这种结构十分清晰。“观点——要点——总结”让人一目了然。三段式的第一段：简单明了，开门见山，不超过2句话，如，我们想表达小强很强壮，第一段直接说XQis extremely strong。观点明确，这一句足矣。

第二段：分2-3点说为什么他强壮。1. 每天吃10顿饭，He has ten mealseveryday!详举吃的是什么。2. 每天运动2小时，He does exercise 2 hours a day!详举做了什么运动。

第三段：经过第二段的论证，可以得出结论。但请注意，不能完全照抄第一段，要有升华。也可以提出希望和建议等。如，Howstrong and robust XQ is!I hope to be him one day!

逻辑：这里的逻辑实际指的就是逻辑词。最常用的就是表示递进的，转折的，总结的逻辑词等。递进：除了first，second，third，finally等还可以使用高级点的，如first of all(首先)，in addition，whatsmore，moreover(都是另外的意思)，in a word，all inall(表示总结的)。转折：but，yet，however等。真正有经验的阅卷老师会很注意这些逻辑连接词，因为这些词体现了这个文章的思路。

语法：其他几点都不是硬性的要求，不那样做不能说是错，只能说是不好，但是语法却是硬性的。如，单词的使用，时态等。

亮点：当我们将前八个字都做得很完美的时候也只能得到一个二等文的上。要想得到一等文，最后两个字，亮点至关重要。大家设想如果我们是阅卷老师。有两篇写人美丽的作文摆在我们面前，都是结构清晰的三段式，要点都很全，都用了一些逻辑词，都没有语法错误，但是A篇只用了beautiful，good-looking，B篇却用到了attractive，charming，catching等，我坚信正常人都会给B篇高分的。这些高级一点的词汇，词组，句型便是我们得到一等文的最有力的绝招。所以，以后写英语作文要养成一般词汇限量用的好习惯。

Smile, how warm the word is! it can make anyone happy. and this happiness is from the bottom of heart.

It’s not like enthusiastic laughter, but just warm, makes your heart warm.

Mother’s smile is like a spring wind, so gentle when you are sad, it can make you happy again; when you fail, it can make you stand up and work hard again; when you give up, it can make you try your best again…

Smile, so easy, but also so useful.

So, let’s learn to smile. everyone needs others’ smile. when we give others a smile, we will feel happy, too. and maybe next time, when you need a smile, the person who received your smile will give it to you.

Let’s learn to smile often, i believe it can even make the whole warm. living with a smile, every day will be sunshine.

Summer can be very hot in southern xx where the temperature usually goes up to 32"C or more. Because of the heat it is a trying experience to go to school or do anything else in a place that is not air-conditioned. Also because of this I stay at home most of the time during the summer vacation and only occasionally go to the beach to plunge myself into the cool water as a way to keep my body less sticky. Actually I like swimming and think nothing is more refreshing than a swim.

In the summer vacation that has just ended I went swimming many times with my classmates and we all had a good time. This summer vacation, however, was not spent entirely in seeking fun. As a second-year senior student I had to prepare myself for the college entrance examinations that were only a year away. In other words, I must find time to study, too. So I divided my time between work and play during the summer vacation and derived much benefit from this arrangement.

A new term began. Students all returned to school and met again. They were talking about what they had done in the holidays. I was much happier. I couldnt wait to tell my story. Now its my turn. I told them I got a job in a restaurant. I worked as a waitress. They didnt believe at first.

"Yes, its true. "I said," I really had a hard time at the beginning. But several days later, I could do a good job. I earned six hundred yuan this holiday. "They all looked at me with their mouths open.
