+ 加入清单We have lived in Lida School for more than one year. I enjoy all the time here because it can bring me a lot of things such as feelings, knowledge and other things I need.
There are many trees and flowers around us. The trees are green all the year. When we sit in the classroom and look out of the windows, we can see a big tree shaking its strong arms to us. It is really wonderful.
In some ways, our thoughts are at large. Perhaps it makes our brains creative. I believe that nothing can tie up my mind even it stands for authority. The free life is just like our school life.
In our school, of course, there are both success and failure. We should not be proud but modest because there are too many people much better than myself. Actually, we also should muster up courage and work harder.
I like
We are honest.
We always keep promises.
We often think a lot.
We are never afraid of anything.
So we have our own school life different from others.

篇1:关于我的家乡英语作文初中
全文共 979 字
+ 加入清单Hometown is the place where a person belongs. Chinese people have special
feelings about their hometown. No matter where they go, they won’t abandon it
and always make some time to visit. My hometown brings me so many happy memories
and I wish it could keep its original face forever.
Two years ago, I lived in my hometown. It is a small village, so people
there get familiar with each other. When we walked on the country road, everyone
smiled when we saw each other. There was no distance for us. In the daytime, I
liked to go boating in the small river with my friends, or sometimes I could
catch fish. The green trees around me and I could hear the birds singing all the
time. It was a paradise for me.
However, even the small paradise can’t avoid being polluted seriously. The
environment is no more clean, the river becomes smaller and the water is so
dirty. When I see this, I feel so pity. If we lose the clean land, how can we
survive for long. Protecting the environment is in need.

篇3:中秋节初中英语优秀
全文共 2802 字
+ 加入清单mooncakes are to mid-autumn festival what mince pies are to christmas. the seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. and the moon is what this celebration is all about. mid-autumn festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month,it is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest.
there are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating mooncakes. one tang dynasty myth holds that the earth once had 10 suns circling it. one day all 10 suns appeared at once,scorching the planet with their heat. it was thanks to a skillful archer named hou yi that the earth was saved. he shot down all but one of the suns. as his reward,the heavenly queen mother gave hou yi the elixir of immortality,but she warned him that he must use it wisely. hou yi ignored her advice and,corrupted by fame and fortune,became a tyrannical leader. chang-er,his beautiful wife, could no longer stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath. and thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon,the moon fairy.
the second legend has it that during the yuan dynasty,an underground group led by zhu yuan zang was determined to rid the country of mongolian dominance. the moon cake was created to carry a secret message. when the cake was opened and the message read,an uprising was unleashed which successfully routed the mongolians. it happened at the time of the full moon,which,some say,explains why mooncakes are eaten at this time. mooncakes are usually stamped with chinese characters indicating the name of the **ry and the type of filling used. some **ries will even stamp them with your family name so that you can give personalised ones to friends and family. they are usually presented in boxes of four which indicate the four phases of the moon. traditional mooncakes are made with melted lard,but today vegetable oil is more often used in the interests of health. mooncakes are not for the diet-conscious as they are loaded with calories. the best way to wash down one of these sticky cakes is with a cup of chinese tea,especially jasmine or chrysanthemum tea,which aids the digestion.
中秋节吃月饼就像西方人圣诞节吃百果馅饼一样,是必不可少的。圆圆的月饼中通常包有香甜的莲子馅或是红豆馅,馅的中央还会加上一个金黄的咸鸭蛋黄来代表月亮。而月亮正是中秋节庆祝的主题。每年农历8月15日人们一起庆祝中秋,据说这一天的月亮是一年中最亮最圆的。
关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。一个是唐朝的神话故事,说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中,巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。多亏一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9个太阳,地球才被保祝为了奖励后羿,王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药,但是王母警告他必须正当使用。然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告,他被名利冲昏了头脑,变成了一个暴君。后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观,于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药,飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥,这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说。
第二个传说讲的是在元朝,朱元璋领导的起义军计划起义来摆脱蒙古族的统治。他们用月饼来传递密信。掰开月饼就可以找到里面的密信,起义军通过这种方式成功的发动了起义,赶走了元朝的统治者。这场起义发生在八月十五之时,于是中秋节吃月饼的习俗便在民间传开来。

Haze? Nanjing and other places of dust is overmuch, combined with the dust and fog, becomes the haze, inhaled into people get lung disease, asthma and other respiratory diseases.
Recently, pm2.5 is close to the extraordinary, in nanjing today at 3 o clock in the morning, pm2.5 has reached 466 micrograms of a cubic meters, entered the serious pollution, pm2.5 is one of the "culprit" haze weather. Not just the pm2.5 exceeds bid badly, pm10 has recently started to crazy, 3 a.m. yesterday, pm10 has reached 579 micrograms of a cubic meters, the nanjing the worst pollution index was about to break! In addition, the sky appeared a "mock sun"! Is too much because floats in the sky. If nanjing on October 1, the sky is blue, so today in nanjing will be gray and a piece of the sky.
Fog not only have an effect on the human body, many planes, ships, cars and so on all cant normal travel. Nanjing lukou airport has 53 flights affected by haze on time boot. Many highways have been closed, the highest visibility on the streets of only 10 meters the following, the car travel is very inconvenient. Hundreds of ships to stay in the Yangtze river in zhenjiang. The influence of the fogs really big ah!
We air pollution index of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze river has been more than the north, like tianjin, Beijing, hebei and other provinces, cities have been we left behind. The factory in the north is more, to produce a lot of dust, according to the reason for the northern cities should air pollution is the most "powerful", can be in November to December Chinas worst air index, almost all is our "occupy" in jiangsu province.
Now that the fog is so terrible, we should also consider what to do! 1, when faced with heavy fog, the first thing to hide the fog haze. Haze days dont go out as far as possible, dont get up early to exercise more. 2, mask is fog out of necessity. Will always wearing surgical masks, but not always wearing a mask, only on the road, a lot of bacteria such as hospital, pm2.5 wear a lot of place, at other times, try to put in my pocket.
This is the fog haze, a great influence on our body, we must learn to prevent it! That is why our school classes.
今天我们同学都留在家里不去上课。你们知道为什么吗?对了,就是因为雾霾。
雾霾是什么呢?南京等地的灰尘过多,而雾跟这些灰尘相结合,就变成了霾,人大量吸入会得肺病、哮喘等呼吸道疾病。
最近,南京的pm2.5接近爆表,到了今天凌晨3点,pm2.5已经达到了466微克一立方米,进入了严重污染,pm2.5是雾霾天气的“罪魁祸首”之一。不仅仅是pm2.5超标严重,pm10最近也开始疯狂起来,昨天凌晨3点,pm10已经达到了579微克一立方米,这项指标就快要破南京最差污染了!而且,天上还出现了一个“幻日”!就是因为天空中的漂浮物过多而形成的。如果说10月1日的南京的天空是湛蓝的,那么今天南京的天空将是灰蒙蒙地一片。
不仅雾霾对人体有影响,许多飞机、船只、汽车等都不能正常出行。南京禄口机场已有53个航班受雾霾影响不能准点开机。许多条高速公路都已经关闭,街头的最高能见度才仅仅10米即以下,这让汽车出行非常不方便。数百只船只停留在长江镇江段。雾霾的影响可真大呀!
我们长江中下游的空气污染指数已经超过了北方,像天津、北京、河北等省、市都已经被我们落在后面。北方的工厂较多,会排出很多的灰尘,按道理来讲北方城市应该空气污染是最“强”的,可11月到12月中国的空气最差指数,几乎全部是我们江苏“占领”的。
既然雾霾这么可怕,我们也应该想想该怎么办吧!1、当遇到浓雾天气,首先要躲雾霾。雾霾天尽量不要出门,更不要早起锻炼。2、口罩是雾天外出的必需品。要常带口罩,但不能常戴口罩,只有在马路上、医院里等病菌很多,pm2.5很多的地方戴,其他时候,尽量放在口袋里。
这就是雾霾,对我们人体影响很大,我们要学会预防它哦!这也就是我们学校为什么停课的原因了。

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.

1. 有的人喜欢参加旅行社旅游(package tours)
2. 有的人喜欢自己独立行动(travelling on one’s own)
3. 比较这两种旅游方式,我喜欢的是……
范文:
With the general standard of living improvingand the working week becoming shorter,more andmore people are able to make a holiday trip toplaces of interest. While many like to joinpackage tours fro convenience,I prefer to traveln my own.
I like travelling on may own not only because it costs much less but because it gives a great degree of independence and freedom. Travelling on my own,I’m my own boss;and can decide when to start on my way,where to linger a little longer and which spot can be skipped over to save energy or time for another spot. I can always adjust my plan. On the contrary,in a package tour you’re deprived of as much freedom as in a military base. At the sound of the whistle,you have to jump up from a sound sleep and,with heavy-lidded eyes,hurry to the gathering place where you are collected and counted to board a coach. At the sight of the little flag waving,you must immediately take yourself away from the scenes you are marveling at and follow the guide whose sole interest is to cover all spots according to him strict schedule,regardless of the weather or your health condition.
True,you may encounter inconveniences if you travel individually,for instance,getting accommodations for the night and finding a place for meals. But nothing can be compared with the freedom which is vital to a person who takes a holiday trip mainly to escape from constraints of his routine life.

篇20:写节日的初中英语作文
全文共 1764 字
+ 加入清单The Laba Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the eighth day of the twelfth month of the lunar Chinese calendar. "La" is the name given to the 12th lunar month and 8 is pronounced as "ba" in Chinese, which translated is "Laba." There are several legends about the origin of this festivity and we could not tell which one is true. But what we know today is that this festival started as a sacrificial offering to ancestors. It was also a time for the ancient Chinese to pray to heaven and earth that there would be a bountiful harvest. Many people hoped for good luck as well for the coming year.
农历十二月初八是中国的传统节日——腊八节,腊代表中国农历的十二月,而八是eight的发音,因此,这个节日被翻译成腊八。关于腊八起源的传说有很多,我们已经不能辨其真假。时至今日,我们确定的是这个节日起初是为了祭祀祖先,祈求丰收以及为即将来到的一年祈福。
Traditionally, the Laba rice porridge is the most important element of the festival. Generally, the porridge contains eight ingredients which can include glutinous rice, red beans, millet, Chinese sorghum, peas, dried lotus seeds and some other ingredients, such as dried dates, chestnut meat, walnut meat, almond, peanut, etc. The porridge must be boiled for many hours and then offered as a sacrifice to the ancestors. This must be done before noontime. Also, it is tradition that family members eat the porridge together. Then they leave some as a symbol of hope for a good harvest the coming year.
从传统上讲,腊八粥是腊八节最重要的元素。腊八粥通常由八种材料做成,这些材料可以是黏米,红豆,小米,高粱,豌豆,莲子和一些诸如红枣,栗子,核桃仁,杏仁,花生等谷物。粥要熬制数小时,然后作为祭品祭献给祖先。这个祭祀活动一定要在中午之前完成。之后,家人们坐在一起吃腊八粥也就成了传
Another custom is the soaking of Laba garlic. Garlic is soaked in vinegar for more than twenty days starting from Laba festival. Then when the Chinese New Year comes, the garlic and vinegar is used alongside jiaozi on the table.
腊八节的另一传统式腌制腊八蒜。从腊八节那天起,就将蒜泡在醋中二十多天,这样,到春节的时候,就可以在餐桌上与饺子同食了。
