篇1:童年生活两三事
全文共 486 字
+ 加入清单小时候我在树下捉过蝉、河里游过泳、拿炮炸过鸡、野外烧过红薯、还曾壮着胆子在冰面上走过……,让我记忆深刻的还是在冰面上走。
有一年春节,我在老家和哥哥一起玩时,发现流经村里的一条小河结冰了。这时哥哥问我:“你敢不敢从冰上走到河对面?”我看看亮晶晶的冰面,不知冰是薄还是厚,胆怯地说“不敢。”哥哥一直在老家长大,他对这条小河十分了解,他说可以过去的。我还是不敢,但又想过去,就想先试试冰的厚度。我拿一个大点的炮,俗称“地雷”,威力很大,就放响了一个,扔到冰上,结果冰没什么变化。我还是不放心,又搬了一大块砖使出吃奶的力气砸向冰面,那冰面也只是有一点点发白,其他没什么变化。我这才忐忑不安地走上冰面,但还没走到中间就发现了一个直径约为2厘米的小洞,吓得我以时速100公里的速度向岸上飞奔。哥哥看了,哈哈大笑。他走到冰面上,为我做示范。我见他悠闲地走来走去,才再次走上去。这次我在紧张中走过了全程,回头看看,感到也没什么。我们又在冰面上玩了一阵,才回了家。
爷爷知道了这件事,把我们俩训了一顿。我们也知道错了,向爷爷保证以后再玩时一定保证安全。
童年的日子是快乐的,童年的事情难以忘怀。

我的童年是五彩缤纷的。有时伤心,有时开心。然而,在我身上发生的最有趣一次事,就是:火烧外衣。
记得在我五岁的时候,发生了一件十分可笑的事情。
有一天,爸爸和妈妈出去买菜。把我一个人放在家里玩。我一会儿把我的玩具拿出来了,搭了一座高高的城堡,脑子了联想着城堡里发生的有趣的事,一会又坐在沙发上,自由自在的看电视。玩得十分快乐。这时,我的外衣被墙上的钉子给弄破了一个大口子。我怕妈妈训我,便坐在沙发上冥思苦想。最后想出了一个自己认为十分好的办法:我记得爸爸给我带玉时,总是把绳子两头在一起烧了烧,用手拧一下,就成了一个结。
我的衣服烂了,用火烧一烧,再用手拧一下不就行了。于是,我说做就做,连忙开始找火机,找了半天,最后终于在厨房找到了打火机。把外套脱下放在地上。把打火机按开,对准破的地方一烧。可是,口越烧越大,我忙把火机拿开,用嘴把衣服上的火吹灭。这时,妈妈回来了,看见地上的外套已经露出了白花花的毛。便问我是怎么回事。我把事情的经过告诉了她。妈妈听了又生气又感到可笑。说:“绑玉的绳子是呢绒的,烧完后可已成一个结,而衣服是棉的,所以越烧破的越大。”
这就是我的童年趣事,很好玩吧!

篇7:描述生活英语高中
全文共 1127 字
+ 加入清单Since I went to college, I feel so excited about the new chapter of my
life. I have imagined the campus life for so many years. Now I finally come to
this stage. I have much time after class, so I need to learn to deal with it.
After two years’ struggling, I find the right way to spend my time.
The first thing for every college student is to learn major knowledge. In
China, so many students think college time is used to play instead of study, so
they skip class. This is a big mistake. College is the stage for students to
master practical skills, which decides what kind of job they will work on. So I
study very hard from Monday to Friday. I don’t want to miss the important
knowledge.
The second thing for college students is to join the after-class
activities. Joining the activities can not only learn more skills, such as dance
and sports, but also can make friends. Campus is like a small society. Students
need to learn to make connections with other students, so that they can win more
chances. I learn a lot from my new friends and know how to communicate.
My college life is wonderful, I learn both knowledge and social skills.
篇8:以童年的生活三年级满分
全文共 671 字
+ 加入清单童年,像一条络绎不绝的小溪,缓缓地流在我的心里。在这条小溪里,既有欢乐的笑声,也有伤心的眼泪。但记忆最深的,还是小时候的那件趣事。 childhood, like a stream of endless streams, slowly flowing in my heart.In this stream, there are both joyful laughter and sad tears.But the deepest memory is the interesting thing when I was a kid.
在老家的附近有一条小溪,其实它不是一条真正的小溪,而是由池塘和山上的水汇合在一起形成的小水沟。暑假里我们常常去那里玩耍。我每次一有空就会叫上表弟和弟弟一起去那边抓鱼。
一到小溪边,我们连裤管都来不及卷,就争先恐后地跳到水里。抓鱼我们可是有战术的,要讲究分工合作:我捞鱼,弟弟设陷阱,表弟挖坑放鱼。
我拿着鱼网在水里不断地搅拌着,原本不干净的水变得更加浑浊了。我使劲地捞着鱼儿,弟弟则把鱼网卡在了出口处。鱼儿受到惊吓都顺着水流往前游,可他们都不知道,我弟弟已经在前面布下了陷阱。我得意极了,心想今天可以满载而归了。
突然我听到了落水声,抬头一看,原来弟弟被表弟推下了水。弟弟闭着眼睛爬上来,只见他满面是水。看着他的样子,我们忍不住哈哈大笑。
经过一番努力,我们抓到了好多鱼,怀着愉悦的心情回家了。父母见我们满身泥水,就把我们责骂了一顿,但我们还是很开心,因为小孩贪玩和顽皮的天性已占据了我幼小的心灵。
童年是多么得快乐无比啊!

记得有一次暑假,爸爸妈妈带着我和弟弟到叔叔家的鱼塘去钓鱼。我高兴极了,爸爸给我们每人一个鱼网和钓鱼竿还有鱼饵。爸爸说:“今天谁钓鱼钓得最多,谁就是冠军,冠军可是有很丰盛的礼物哦!
这个比赛开始了,我激动地拿起鱼竿,在上面挂了鱼最喜欢吃的东西---蚯蚓。接着,我把鱼竿使劲一甩,现在就只等鱼上钩了。开始,我的眼睛总是乱转,左看看,右瞧瞧,不停地动,钓了了半天,怎么还没动静?爸爸都钓到了三四条了。
可我看爸爸钓鱼特别专注,连眼睛都不眨一下,精神抖擞的握着鱼竿,目不转睛的盯着水面,生怕鱼儿跑掉了。爸爸听到我“嘀嘀咕咕”他连头也不扭一下的说:“小雨,性子别那么急,你想钓鱼的话,那就得有耐心,不然,你可吃不到鱼哦!”说着,爸爸眼前一亮,只见他猛地一拉鱼竿,一条好大的鱼呀!竟然是一条大鲤鱼。“爸爸你真棒!”我兴奋地把鱼竿一甩,冲上前去抓鱼,可鱼儿乱蹦乱跳,我费了好大劲才把它捉住。
我重新拿起鱼竿,发誓一定要钓到鱼。不一会儿,我的鱼漂动了,我立刻紧张地一提,一条鱼上钩了,这鱼的劲好大,一下把我拉向前栽了一下,我失去了重心,大惊失色地叫起来,妈妈闻声立马赶过来拉住了我,爸爸赶紧过来,握住了鱼竿说:“小雨,你这条鱼儿不小呀,比我那条还大。不错不错。”“什么?这条鱼是我钓的?”我都不敢相信我的眼睛。一条,两条,三条……鱼桶上的鱼越来越多,太阳快下山了,我们才恋恋不舍的提着我们钓的鱼满载而归。
这是我第一次钓鱼的经历。通过这次钓鱼,我明白一个道理:做任何事都不能三心二意,要一丝不苟,要有足够的耐心与毅力,这样才能把事情做好!

篇11:难忘的童年生活
全文共 714 字
+ 加入清单时间像一只离弦的箭一样,转眼间,我的童年生活飞逝而去。在我的眼里,童年是一段美好的回忆,童年是一个甜甜的果实,童年是一朵美丽的鲜花……在我的童年生活中,有一件事让我难以忘却。
那是五年级的寒假里。在妈妈的劝说下,爸爸的鼓励下,我自告奋勇:要去发报纸挣零花钱!
当我来到指定地点,我被眼前的一幕惊呆了!这些报纸堆成了一个小型的山丘,我把它们拎了拎,哇,分量好重。这么多,要发到猴年马月呀。我有些绝望了。
我走进一单元,一只手抬着一沓报纸,一只手取出报纸插入门把手里。由于我动作十分不熟练,半天才发完一个单元。我有些灰心了,但我还是冷静下来,思考方法。
经过我的仔细思考,我终于得出了解决问题的方法:先一口气跑上六楼,再挨个挨户的发报纸,这样的话,不就快了许多吗?
二话没说,我马不停蹄的冲入了二单元的六楼,接着顾不上休息,赶紧一家一家的插报纸。果然,照这个方法下来,效率果然提高了不少。
慢慢的,我已经发完了一半的报纸,可体力也已经严重透支。两条腿也像灌了铅一样,十分沉重,一步也不想走;汗水像小雨点一样,不住的从头上滚落下来,发出清脆的“滴答滴答”的声音;胳膊十分酸疼,连甩都甩不起来;嘴巴里异常干燥,真想喝一股清凉的甘泉。说真的,我不想干了。
“一定要坚持下来,我一定可以的,我是最棒的,我跟你拼了。”我吸足一口气,憋足一口劲,毫不犹豫的冲进了下一个单元楼。
不知过了多久,我手里的报纸终于“烟消云散”了。我长吁了一口气,一脸欢喜的冲向指定地点,得到了八元钱的报酬,我的心里美滋滋的。
这就是我童年中难忘的一件事,它既告诉我做事不仅要动脑子,还得坚持不懈,又让我懂得了:要想吃到甜头,必须通过艰苦的劳动。你看,这是童年生活中一件多么难忘的事啊!
篇12:移民生活英语作文Themorefamiliar,thebetter
全文共 2364 字
+ 加入清单Nowadays,owing to the convenience of transport ,more and more people feel like emigrating to foreign countries.Although it may be exciting to drop your family in a totally unfamiliar place,subsequently the problem appears.Which kind of people in the neighborhood do you long for ,the different race or the same? For me,I prefer the latter.The reasons are as follows.
Firstly,there is no doubt that most of the people tend to spend almost entire life in just one familiar city.They know every street,every corner and every store.If they have something repaired,they know the right place to go.But now,everything changes in the new place.So it is hard for emigrants to adjust in physiology and psychology.What is worse,there is even no friends who can provide enough support.In this situation,naturally the instinct drives them to live with others of their own ethnic background.Because the same race always means similar diet,similar language and habit.Under the circumstances,emigrants are able to adapt to the new environment easily.Otherwise,the conflict resulting from the complete contrast certainly arises.It results in the bad influence on the quality of life.That is what we do not want to confront.Why do we desire to emigrate? We just expect to lead a better life.
Secondly,the emigrants always go with the whole family including the elder.As we all know,after retirement,it is usually that the aged chat with each other about things in the past.For them,talking about trivialities is an essential and necessary way to enjoy themselves.However,assuming that persons around them are different ethnic in the new community,how can our parents or grandparents communicate with neighbors.After all,in accordance with the statistics,over seventy percent of the elder cannot speak foreign language especially in Asia.In addition,the fact that the majority of emigrants coming from Asia is well-known.Therefore,how to help the aged avoid loneliness is a serious problem which should be solved in time.I reckon that the best way is to live with people of the same race.Thus all old men benefit from the familiar language.Or,if they have nothing to do but to stay at home all the day,the harmony of the family will be affected sooner or later.
All in all,in my opinion,the more familiar,the better.So emigrants ought to live with others of their own ethnic background.

在这个普通的阳台上,种植着普通的花草,养着一群普通的金鱼。而我却在这小小的学校里学会认字、下棋、养鱼种花。在这里,我总会收获到许多意想不到的乐趣。
春天里,我和爷爷在阳台上种下了采集来的辣椒种子,经过浇水施肥,我欣喜的看见一个个淡黄色的小芽破土而出,一片片叶子由翠绿变为深绿。记得有次中午,我正要给它们浇水,爷爷阻止了我,他说:现在不能浇水,叶子虽然看上去蔫了下来,但这是它们在午休。果然,下午小芽们又精神饱满地直起了身子。我明白了,植物的生长过程,跟我们人一样也有生物钟。
夏天里,经过我们悉心照料的辣椒苗开出了花朵,可是,却怎么也不结果实。爷爷教我做了一中传播花粉的小蜜蜂,我们拿着扇五,不停的对着花朵们扇风,原来,阳台上不通风,无法传播花粉,我们在人工授粉。我明白了,植物的生长离不开科学的方法。
秋天里,阳台上的辣椒长得欣欣向柠,三个盆子里至少有五十多个辣椒,冲着我点头致意,看着这些沉甸甸的果实,我的心比吃了蜜还要甜,那一刻,我体验到了收获的甜蜜和快乐。
童年学校陪伴我走过了春夏秋冬,不知不觉我长高了,懂事了,在这里,我学到了很多书本上学不到的东西,它真实有趣,让我的生活更加充实,我喜欢我的童年学校。
篇20:描写我们的生活的英语满分作文
全文共 2731 字
+ 加入清单It seems that people always have a desire to compare: am I prettier than others? Are we living in a better age? Or, as the question goes, is our life easier and more enjoyable than it was several decades ago? I would say no, as I have witnessed the struggle and paradox of our generation.
First of all, we are now living in an age of revolution with no previous human experience that could be referred to. Living in such a fast-changing world would not be easy and comfortable at all; with everything keeps changing, everyone has to move fast in order to catch up with the majority. However, people were much more stable and care-free when our grandparents were children; they did not have to learn a second language in order to get a better job, or read a lot in order to get informed. Yet in our age, these are supposed to be the responsibility of young people.
Another discomfort of our age is that we are experiencing interpersonal alienation. With the development of communication technology, people in fact become alienated with friends and relatives since they could be so easily accessed via phone or email. Too often we feel that few of our friends are true friends, without the traditional feeling of mutual affection which could only be created by longtime apart. But several decades ago, people treasured their friends and maintained relatively close interpersonal relations, which is much more enjoyable than the estrangements we are experiencing.
The last factor that has made our age so uncomfortable is the abusive use of technology. Although it brings much convenience, it essentially changes human – we are no longer the master of tools, but instead the slaves of devices. We rush to metro station in order to catch an early train, sit in front of radioactive computers all day long in order to get our work done, and stay in air-conditioned rooms all summer without experiencing the natural changes outside thick cement walls. Several decades ago, people could still live closer to nature and make rational use of modern technology, which to me is the essence of human living experience.
However, the comparison between different times is itself ridiculous. The criteria could not be easily determined, and opinions are highly personal. Anyway, we have a longer life span, more advanced medical facilities, and easier traffic than our grandparent when they were children, and we should treasure the present experience. Imagination of the past might only be nostalgia – if I ask my grandparents the same question, they might as well say that our life is much better than the past generations. Who knows? As long as the world is still peaceful, life at any time would not become too difficult to handle.
