关于校园暴力的英语作文初中经典20篇

Childhood is often regarded as a memorable and beautiful period of one’s life and I passed it happily as a grade-school student. My grade school days were really carefree ones. I got along well with my classmates and On holidays we strolled along the street visited the park and shared one another s candies The teacher of our class was a patient woman who took pains to teach us how to behave and often accompanied us to play games after class-games which were enlivened by songs prattle and laughters. My grade school days were surely the happiest time in my life. Though in retrospect what I did long ago is some-what childish it is nevertheless unforgettable.

周萱荻，一名普通的初二学生，性格外向。

她是班上众多女生中并不出众的一个;她是一个喜欢美术而又有着美术天赋的可爱女生;她既像一颗无名小草，又似一头任劳任怨的老黄牛。

作为班级一名生活管理员，她总是很热情帮助同学。记得有一天上课时，班上一名女生胃突然疼痛起来，就在旁边同学发现并报告老师的当口，周萱荻已经起身扶起那名女生将她带到教室外透气，并且一趟趟往返于教室，医务室取药、接水;后来还主动给她家长打电话，知道家长赶到学校，她一直都守护在那名女生身边。尽管当时少上了一节课，但她依然很开心，用她的话来说：当别人需要时我帮助了她，我义无返顾。

但这还不是重点：初一时自从定了牛奶，每个班都配备了专门负责领取、调换牛奶的同学。因为周萱荻的热情，这份工作光荣的落在了她的身上，出于对这份工作的热爱，她每天都及时取换牛奶。说句实在话：这份工作非常辛苦!想想看：一个女生要拿那么多牛奶(有时是两大箱，有时甚至是四大箱)，况且每次都得排长队等好长时间才能拿到，怎不叫人感动!记得有一次，周萱荻笑着回到班级，“啪”地一声，重重的牛奶箱落在了课桌上，然后大叫一声：“同志们!发奶了!”逗得大家都笑了起来，她也跟着大家开心的笑了，所有的辛劳仿佛都融化在这笑声里了。正是因为她这种看上去有点二、其实是一种任劳任怨的精神才打动了我，让我感动不已。我们班上订牛奶和没定牛奶的人都不少，要想保证将奶准确的发到每一位订奶同学的手上，对发奶员来说并不容易，但周萱荻通过熟记每学期订奶人名单，基本能保证90%以上的牛奶不发错人，这确实很不容易!

其实在接受这份工作的时候，周萱荻就决定要担负起照顾同学们生活的重任，所以当送来的牛奶发生挤破、弄脏时，她总是无怨无悔的一次次奔波在换奶的路上，只是为了让同学们能喝上放心的牛奶。她就是这样一个只求付出、不求回报的人!

也许，读了这篇文章后你并没有半分的感动，因为在你的眼里，这只不过是再平凡不过的一些小事。但，大事不大、小事非小，只有点滴的小事才能传递出人间最为真挚的感动!

诚然，像周萱荻一样的同学，在我们的身边还有很多很多，也许你从来没有注意过他们。他们就是小草，从不引人注目。但如果你开始留意他们，你就会发现：他们就是在春天盛开的郁金香——既拥有牡丹的高贵，亦拥有莲花的高洁!

时光飞逝，不知不觉中，进入中学校园已经有一年多了，我在这里遇见了许多故事。“贪心”的我不仅仅想让它点缀我的初中生活，我还要把发生的点滴记下来，装进我的心底里。

浪漫老师

我遇见的老师个个都可爱，用我们的话来说，老师们就像一个个吃着棒棒糖、甜甜笑的孩童，是校园里一道曼妙的风景线。

老师们的性别不同、兴趣各异、性格也不尽相同，但有一个共同点：都十分的可敬、可爱。就拿我的数学老师来说，勤勤恳恳，工作认真负责;而我的语文老师十分童趣，知识渊博;英语老师则滑稽开朗，活力十足;生物老师是慈祥的;地理老师是博古通今的……

老师与我们的故事每天都在这个校园里发生着，就像不带广告的好莱坞大片，精彩，有趣。

多味同学

我的同学就像一盒彩虹糖，五颜六色，个性十足。值得一提的是戴小婷和周甜两位同学，被许多男生赠予“男人婆”的外号。我们知道给人取外号是不对的，但一想起她们的奔跑在校园各处的飒爽英姿，也就默默认可。而男同志们个个都是“调皮鬼”，在校园里，随处可见男生们打闹嬉笑的场景，有时一些恶作剧令我们火冒三丈、哭笑不得。

空灵一隅

校园里藏着许许多多的漂亮景色，香飘十里的桂花树、绿草茵茵的足球场等等。我和我的朋友陈漾最喜欢后操场的那些角落，在那里，我们可以聊天、散步、晒太阳，是我们俩的“秘密基地”。

如果我们的人生是一本书，那在校园里发生的点点滴滴就是一首首小诗;如果我们的生活是一首歌，那么这些青春印记就是一段段醉人的旋律。我渴望长大又想让时间就此停住，我的故事未完待续……

Failure exists in every stage for everybody. As students, I think the most

common failure would be failing in the exam. Yes, I have failed in the exam for

many times. It is very common, because on one can keep the name of

ever-victorious generals forever. But some students do not figure out this. When

they fail in the exam, they need a long time to recover, even have directly

negative effect on their inner heart. This is not the right way to deal with

this problem. We need to figure out the reason why we don’t do well in the exam.

And then correct it. Try our best to get better next time.

In China , tea has a very long history and has formed the Chinese tea

culture. At the same time, tea is beneficial to our health, thus it is well

received by many people. Chinese tea culture is both extensive and profound,

which not only contains the level of material culture, but also includes a deep

level of spiritual civilization. Referring to Chinese tea, we can trace it back

to ancient times, which flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, Since then,

the spirit of tea has penetrated into the court and society, going deep into

Chinese poetry, painting, calligraphy , religion and medicine. For thousands of

years, China has accumulated a great deal of culture in tea cultivation and

production, moreover, enriching the spiritual culture of tea.

I am a shy girl, when my teachers ask me the questions, I will always low

down my head and answer them with small voice. Because of my character, I miss

the chances to make myself stand out and I also don’t have many friends. I

really want to change my situation, I don’t want to be a stand by anymore, I

want to be part of the group. So I force myself to join the class activities, I

find I enjoy them and I talk to my classmate a lot. I become active and start to

try more things, I take part in the debate competition and show my ability, I

find my stage.

某日下午第4节自习课，鄙人正在题海中游弋，忽见一道难题，篇幅竟占整整一版。琢磨许久，不知所措，额头搁在课桌上，昏昏睡去……

忽然，耳边响起朗朗的读书声，睁开惺忪睡眼，见教室里安静无人;跑至室外，竟见偌大的校园，到处都是莘莘学子，在草坪上、树林里、花丛中沐浴着朝阳，尽情晨读。这氛围使人顿生学习激情，于是，我也手捧语文书，走出教室，走进这美妙的环境中。

清脆的铃声响起，同学们纷纷走进教室。和蔼可亲的语文老师首先跨进门槛，由互联网上调出一则关于现代人生活的调查，以此为切人口，老师与大家展开了丰富而激烈的讨论。大家各扦己见，百家齐鸣，最后老师略作小结。作业便是一篇小论文，一星期后交卷。接下去是英浯课。十分钟的语法知识后，剩下的就是轻松的实景模拟，台上台下everybody(每个人)都融人English(英语)的天堂。头痛的数学考试不再恐怖，教室里竟没有老师监考。分数的压迫开始消失，同学们不再做分数的奴隶，不再有作弊的行为，而是真正为了弄通弄懂，掌握知识。

下午的课程只安排一主一副。两节课结束后，我随同学们奔向室外，奔向操场。你可以在跑道上、绿茵中、篮球架下寻觅到少男少女生龙活虎的身影。在一小时的回归自然，享受氧气后，学校的各大实验室、研究组全面开放。在图书馆的阅读大厅里，大家在静心汲取知识;英语角也正热闹;电脑室冲浪者更是不亦“爽”乎;生物实验室，一项小科研正汇集许多爱好者们倾情投入……

晚饭后，有一个多小时的晚自修，对付作业已绰绰有余，接下来的时间自自行安排。科教片和名著电影正在放映室上映;精彩的校际辩论赛，今天的题目是“克隆人道德吗”;班际的篮球赛正在体育馆如火如荼。所有这些，如果你都不中意的话，躲在月光下数星星也未尝不可……

想人非非的我，竟用口水将眼前的作业簿全部弄湿了。此时的我，也被老师厉声拉回现实。抬头惊望四周，人头稀落，然奋笔疾书，为时已晚，叫苦不迭矣。

梦中的校园，众里寻它千百度，那园却在猴年马月处。唉!

The teacher set up the summer homework. Good guy, that damned language

teacher actually call us to the 4th grade the old poem famous quote to copy 8

times! By this time, the roof of the classroom was "overturned". The students

were Shouting at each other. I myself comfort myself: nothing, dont copy 8

Another day after that, my classmate xiao sheng called me to study

taekwondo with her. After the family discussed, I decided to let me go to

school. Then the cousin called again and said, "hello, yueyue, stay for a few

days during the summer vacation! I will teach you to draw pictures, by the way!"

"Really? Thats great! I must come!" By this time, I had forgotten to plan and

threw it out of the clouds.

the schedule and time is not enough. How to do? Only a little bit of time... But

in comparison, none of them are free. That how to do? Can only be changed. What

better? Well, I only had a three-hour nap to learn taekwondo... That way, my

summer vacation will be "ample". What a bad summer!

to do some cleaningbefore breakfast. There come the various classes. Then noon

comes. Havinglunch, I will go to sleep. I often read twenty minutes before I

fall asleep. I haveclass in the afternoon. And I still have classes at night.

It’s boring, right? ButI have got used to it and enjoy myself at school.

When I was very young, my grandma was often ill. She often went to see the

doctor. But it could not help her to get well. That was a problem. So I wanted

to be a doctor to let my grandma be healthy.

Now Im 15 years old. Im studying in Wangcun Middle School in Jiangshan.

[初中英语作文之我的五一计划

现在,我们微笑着在校园的林荫小路上散步,撒下最快乐的时光.当我们离开校园的那一刻,再让我们回首看我们走过的路,我相信,我们有的是恋恋不舍的感情;有的是没有虚度年华的自豪;有的是对美好未来的憧憬!我相信,那难忘的校园生活一定会成为我们最美好的回忆.....

一转眼，小学的6年生活就过去了。回想起小学读书的日子，真的有很多令人难忘的事：有开心的、悲伤的、难过的、搞笑的……记得刚升到X年级时，我们分了班，我被分在了X(X)班，一听这个班级就知道有很多很“62”的故事。我的前面是__，她的同桌是__X，有一天，他们俩闹变扭，__X就想用脚去踢__可是正当他把脚举的高高的时候，__用手拉住__X的脚，一把送了出去，把__X摔了个“四脚朝天”。这一“惊心动魄”的一幕真是让人笑掉大牙。你先别忙着笑，还有一件更好笑的，也是发生在他们的身上：一天__正在看笑话的书，手里拿着一瓶水，刚喝了一口水，就因为笑话故事太好笑了，一下字就把刚喝下去的水全吐在了__X的身上…………正所谓有甜必有苦，我还记得，在没上5年级的时候，我们班的体育很差，在运动会上也常常拿不到名次，所以总是抱着希望去，拿着失望归，这一次次的失败给我们的打击不胜无数。有几次，我们还甚至流过眼泪。不过，我们那个时候相信，只要同过努力没有什么是不可能的，所以每次都拿出最佳的状态比赛!回忆起以前的生活，真的有无数的酸、甜、苦、辣不过不管是酸也好、苦也好辣也好，都给我们小学的校园生活增添了许多色彩，让我们不会忘记在我们小的时候，曾经在安吉路实验学校有着那么有趣的一段生活。

I live with my father and mother in a very big house in Dongguan. My parents are both very busy. They leave for work very early in the morning and don’t return home until late in the evening.

When I am home on weekends from school, we spend a lot of time together. We talk about my studies, my health and my school life. I love my parents very much.

My grandparents are still living, but they don’t live with us. Their health is good and they both do sports very early in the morning. My grandmother does gymnastics with elderly women her age in the park. Both of my grandfathers play basketball in the morning and sometimes they go swimming.

Chinese people eat rice for every meal, but I don’t like rice because I think it is tasteless! We eat meat, fish and vegetables. My family eats noodles and congee. My favorite is noodles.

I often play computer games because I like it so much. I often watch Japanese cartoon movies with my parents on the weekends. On long holidays we take trips, too.

That is my description of typical family life in China.

Let my little niece winter vacation homework today, she readily agreed, she

took out a pile of books from the school bag and book, Ill ask her winter

vacation homework you have so much? She said, "yeah, were going to do winter

vacation homework book, write a complete book of the words and it is each line,

and a day to write a diary, and mathematical complete book of exercises to do."

After hearing her answer I am a little consternation, winter vacation in only a

month off, how can have so much homework, but also for second grade

children.

I will be in our school children compared with them, find our school

children is luckier. We only require students to finish winter vacation homework

book, and then make a happy years of China pictorial. Especially happy Chinese

New Year posters produced, it can let the student to understand the traditional

culture, and cultivate their ability, but also let them learn in life, found in

the life, and why not? So that the students didnt feel much homework, at the

same time also can get harvest, so now there are a lot of local education system

needs reform indeed, society needs is to be able to adapt to social development

talent, not only can keep the book a nerd. So these are thought-provoking!

离开了我生活了六年的校园，心中都有几分留念，暗恋几分这校园里的美景！

春天，校园里的迎春花开了，哪一粒粒的黄色的小花，像粘上去似的。一朵朵又那么小巧精致，像是一位艺人精心雕刻成的。全身都透着一股春天的香气。那透明的，阳光般的黄色，那若有若无的香气，在我心中缭绕着，当我每次经过花坛，就有一股混合着花香的味道扑鼻而来，使人陶醉于其中，蝴蝶和小蜜蜂也来花坛玩耍、嬉戏。

校园的草坪上种着茂密的小草，水灵灵的，显得格外有生机。这里也是我们的乐园，我们常常三五成群地在草坪上玩耍，观察昆虫，完成观察日记……

夏天，操场上那两棵苍翠欲滴的大树为同学们赶走了夏日的炎热。一阵风吹来，树上的蝉就一个劲地叫：“知了！知了！”好像在提醒同学们上课一定要认真听讲。

秋天，桂花开了，他那芝麻般大小的身材非常可爱！

校园的花坛是半圆形的。花坛是用一块块的石头砌成的，颜色有深有浅的，花坛里栽着松柏、柚子树、桂树……

每到冬天，天空已飘下洁白的雪花，而松柏却像一位威武的将军，挺拔的站在花坛中，守护着校园；同学们也时而出来玩玩。

校园，虽然没有高楼大厦那么繁华，没有花园那么冷艳幽香，但它教会了我们知识，让我们度过了快乐的童年！校园，你是无比的美丽！无比的神圣！无比的动人！我爱你校园！

Making a choice is difficult, because people often want to have all the

things he choose, but maybe he cant own them at the same time. There is a

saying that you cant have the best of both worlds. When you are to make a

choice, the first thing you need to consider is what are you really want or

need. If you figure it out, your choice may become simpler. However, the reality

is that many people do not really know what they want or what they need.

Besides, they always think that they may can have both in the same time. Because

of various reasons, making a choice is difficult.

I love weekend, because I can do many things. I can read books, watch TV

and play some games……

OnMonday, I went to school by bike and played computer games.

After nine o’clock, I went to zoo with my parents and saw lots of

animals.

On Wednesday, I went to Cheng gu visited my cousins and my uncle. On

Thursday, I went to library read books.

Friday is my favourite day, I was very happy! Because I saw a film with my

best friend, Webought many books.

On Saturday, I listened to music and watched TV. Today is Sunday, I don’t

like this day, because tomorrow I will go to school.

What a busy week!

沸腾的校园，到处是忙碌的身影。去找统练卷子的人来来往往地穿梭在过道，每个人都争着去食堂打饭，热爱运动的人活跃在操场上，高三的学长学姐在寂静的树林背诵着，这，是你校园生活的全部？请打住，我带你了解一个散发着热情活力的临河一中。

你是否关注到了？每周三都有身着正装的同学匆匆赶往格物致知楼。你是否关注到？班里同学在一遍遍练习自己的演讲。你有到过，格物致知337吗？那是一个令人热血沸腾的地方，那里，是供你充分展示自己的地方。辩论大赛，演讲比赛，都在那里举行着。每周，那里座无虚席，我们聆听着，一个个同学或是生动优雅，或是含情脉脉地把自己的故事，演讲给大家听。我们看着，台上的辩手们唇枪舌战，碰撞着思维的火花。他们带给我们的是兴奋，激动与感动，如果你参与了一定会留下美好的回忆，如果你观看了，一定会回味无限。

你是否关注到了，身边有一群人，戴着自己学生会的工作证，在一个个活动中忙碌着。他们秉着锻炼自己能力的初衷，热心地加入到学生会当中，为学校管理，为组织活动，尽着一份力，那是一群群有着责任心的人，那是一群群能力非凡的人，也是我们校园生活中一道优雅的风景线。

你是否关注到了？学校举行篮球赛与足球赛。你有去操场上为选手们加过油吗？你有参加比赛吗？抛下自己的汗水，为了班级的荣誉去奋斗，去坚持，去挥洒青春。

我们临河一中的生活，不应该只有学习，把眼光放宽广，多参加一些社团活动，参加一些比赛，发挥自己的优势，充实自己的校园生活，发现校园生活真正的意义，历练自己为青春涂抹色彩！我们是年轻的一带！充满活力的一代，校园是我们成长的舞台，我们要尽兴地为自己表演。

在学校里，有春天，有夏天，有秋天，也有冬天。我最喜欢校园的春天，因为这个时候的校园生机勃勃、春意盎然，别有一番风味

看，那小花园里的玉兰花开得多么美丽啊！靠近一闻，啊，有一股淡淡的清香涌进鼻腔，慢慢慢又到了心里。正是因为玉兰花在默默无闻的为校园增添着无限生机，所以，同学们也很喜欢它、爱护它。在围着教学楼的绿化带里，有几棵并不起眼的树，但是，它们却依然在同学们和老师的关爱下成长，依然开得那么鲜艳，那么美丽，这也引来了许多同学的观赏和赞美。听老师介绍说，这几棵树叫做“光棍树”，因为它每一棵主干上只分出了几根小枝，并没有杂乱的乱枝杂叶，分出的几根小枝干上都被绕满了小花，在远处看，好像是薰衣草田里的薰衣草一样，但只不过是粉色的。春风习习，迎着吹在脸上的春风，既温暖又带着一丝丝凉意。眼睛是扎实不炸，时睁时闭，隐隐约约的在远处看到了两棵在春风中摆弄着头发的柳树姑娘。柳树的叶芽儿越来越大了，从原来的无数的小绿点，瞬间就变成了想很多很多的眼睛在风中眨呀，眨呀……叶子是那样的鲜亮，那样的苍翠，那样的娇嫩。

我相信，细心的你一定会发现在操场边的一棵棵梧桐树吧！在春天的校园里，变化最大的就要数梧桐树了。上面还结着去年残留下的果实，就冒出了许多的嫩叶。梧桐树上面刚刚长出来的小嫩芽，似乎是一个个比小宝宝的手掌小十倍的手，这些手就会越长越大，越长越大，最后，就变成了一个个成年人的手了。虽然这些叶子的大小不一，但都有一个共同的特点，那就是——每片叶子上都有许多毛茸茸的白色细丝，好像是长出了许多胡须一样。

我爱自己的校园，但是，我更爱春天的校园！

[初中优秀作文：校园的春天

我的校园生活My Life in University

As we know, many people favor theidea that the college life is free and comfortable, but I’d like to say it’snot true. As a matter of fact, my life in university is so busy that I wonderif my energy is enough. As to my college life, I divide it into four parts,including study, student activities, library and the others.

我们知道，很多人认为大学生活是自由、舒适的，但我想说这不是真的。事实上，我的大学生活是如此的忙碌，以至于我都不知道我的能量是否足够。至于我的大学生活，我把它分为四个部分，包括学习，学生活动，图书馆和其他的。

Firstly, I want to talk about thestudy. In my opinion, study is the priority in college. When I received theletter of admission in summer, I knew clearly that what I should do. So I makeup my mind to study hard and pursue learning as much as possible. I’m greatlyconvinced that knowledge can change my life. Therefore, I often go to the quietstudy room where many people study there. By working so hard, I get good gradesin the exams.

首先，我想谈谈学习。在我看来，学习是大学该优先考虑的。当我在夏天收到录取通知书时，我就清楚地知道我应该做什么。所以我下定决心努力学习，尽可能多的追求学问。我非常相信知识可以改变我的生活。因此，我常常去安静的自习室学习，有很多人在那里学习。通过努力学校，我在考试中取得了好成绩。

Secondly, student activities playan important role in our college life. To be honest, the student Union is agood place where one can develop social skills, get his abilities trained. Itake part in many student activities. For example, I’ m a volunteer, teachingthe kids to learn to dance and write. I think it’s meaningful for everyone togive a hand to others. I can also do some jobs in the Student Union, includingreceiving and sending fast mail, selling papers and magazines. I think they’re unforgettableand worthwhile experiences for me.

其次，在我们的大学生活中学生活动中起了重要的作用。老实说，学生会是一个很好的地方，一个可以培养社会技能的地方，一个训练自己能力的地方。我参加了许多学生活动。例如，我是一个志愿者，教孩子们学习舞蹈和写作。我认为帮助别人是有意义的。我还可以在学生会中做一些工作，包括接收和发送快速电子邮件，卖报纸和杂志。我觉得他们是我难忘的、有价值的经验。

Thirdly, I also visit the libraryconstantly. It’s said that “shelves of books, oceans of knowledge”, so I readbooks that I’m interested in. In this way, I can share stories with my new friendsand it also changes my horizons .When I’m sad, lost or in trouble, staying thelibrary makes me quiet and comfortable. After all, every life has bad momentsas well as good ones, and the library for me is a support in bad moments. So it’s wise choice for me to stay in thelibrary.

第三，我经常去图书馆。据说“书架上的书，知识的海洋，所以我阅读我感兴趣的书。这样，我可以和我的新朋友分享故事，也改变了我的视野。在我难过，迷失或陷入困境的时候，呆在图书馆能让我感到安静和舒适。毕竟，每个人的生活都有不好和好的时候，图书馆对我来说也是心情不好时的一种支撑。所以对我来说呆在图书馆是明智的选择。

Finally, I often do other thingsin my spare time. In order to alleviate parents’ burden, I often do somepart-time jobs and write some articles to earn money. It helps me to beindependent and improve my social skills.

最后，我经常在空余时间做一些其他的事情。为了减轻父母的负担，我经常做一些兼职工作，写一些文章来赚钱。它帮助我变得独立，改善我的社交能力。

In short, mylife in university is busy but valuable. You can see that study brings me knowledge,student activities improve myself, library changes my horizons, the othersthings make me independent. They get all my abilities trained. And I see thatthe chance will come only if you have a prepared mind, so I’m sure that I canachieve my dreams in college life.

总之，我的大学生活是忙碌而有价值的。你可以看到学习带给我知识，学生活动提升我自己，图书馆改变了我的视野，其他的事情让我变得独立。它们让我所有的能力得到训练。我看到机会只会留给有准备的人，所以我相信在大学生活中我能实现我的梦想。

The first snow came. How beautiful it was, falling so silently all day

long, all night long, on the mountains, on the meadows, on the roofs of the

living, on the graves of the dead! All white save the river, that marked its

course by a winding black line across the landscape; and the leafless trees,

that against the leaden sky now revealed more fully the wonderful beauty and

intricacies of their branches. What silence, too, came with the snow, and what

seclusion! Every sound was muffled, every noise changed to something soft and

musical. No more tramping hoofs, no more rattling wheels! Only the chiming of

the sleigh-bells, beating as swift and merrily as the hearts of children.
