暑假英语作文带翻译初一优秀20篇

In the 21st century, the scientific and economic development of mankind has

reached a high degree. But I want to ask: have you ever thought that the exhaust

gases from the industry pollute the air? Does the industry waste water seriously

contaminate the water? A lot of snacks will eat the ozone layer to make

ultraviolet radiation harmful to human health?

In scientific and economic development, we should also think about the

environmental damage and the causes of global warming. Protect the environment,

trees, flowers and birds will bring you wonderful scenery. Can you listen

carefully to the graceful singing of the birds? Can you ever stroke the birch

smooth coat or the rough skin of the pine? Can you smell the intoxicating

fragrance of the flowers?

Let the stream crowd through your open fingers. You will feel the beauty of

nature. Let the wind blow you, you will feel the wild nature. Let the rain be on

you, you will feel the naughty nature of nature.

The end of the summer， should have a good rest! But my mother is very busy。 As the daughter of course I want to help my mother to do some。 Early in the morning I got up， washed the dishes， sweep the floor， cooking and so on， at noon， I tired， lying on the bed， fan fan， more fortable。翻译：最后放暑假了，就应好好歇歇了！但是妈妈很忙。作为女儿的我当然要帮妈妈分担些了。一大清早的我就起来了，帮妈妈洗碗，扫地，做饭等等，到了中午，我快累死了，往床上一躺，扇扇电风扇，舒服多了。

“春蚕到死丝方尽，蜡炬成灰泪始干。”这句名言不正是赞扬老师那种无私奉献的精神吗？如果说“妈妈”是我们来到世界上的第一声呼唤，那么“老师“就是我们步入文化知识的第一声称呼。在这六年的小学生活里，有许多老师曾教过我，在他们的辛勤培育下，让我懂得了做人的道理和中国深渊的文化知识，在这么多位教过我的老师中，我最喜爱的老师就是现在的班主任欧阳老师。

欧阳老师是一位可亲可敬、关爱学生的优秀老师。我们班在学校算是很出名，每个老师来上课都会以笑脸而来，伤心而回。从此我们班在学校就出名了，每个老师都不愿意来我们班上课，只有欧阳老师依然不放弃我们。这也因为我们班的同学很调皮，经常为一两句不中听的话发生争执，为一两件微不足道的事情而打架，使到整个班变得很乱。

虽然欧阳老师也曾对我们失望过，但她并没有因此放弃我们，而是更加耐心地教育我们，让我们懂得做人的道理，让我们知道父母最大的希望就是自己的孩子能够出人头地，不在受没有文化的苦，欧阳老师总是以一些特别的方式让我们记住以往的教训，做到知错能改、诚实守信，不仅是在课堂上还是在课外，欧阳老师总是能给我们一种和蔼可亲，平易近人的感觉。经过几年的奋斗，终于，欧阳老师的付出得到了回报，在去年的期末考试中我们班的成绩在十几个学校中，拿到了第二名，给学校争了很大的光，不管怎么说这也是欧阳老师的功劳呀！

欧阳老师非常关爱学生。记得有一段时间，快临近期末考试，水痘传染很厉害，尤其像学校人多密集的地方，传染的更快。学校各班都有人感染水痘，我们班也有个别同学感染，一请假就是一两个星期，对学习影响很大。欧阳老师为了防止传染水痘的同学成绩下降，就叫一些基础好的同学帮他们补习，一有不明白的问题欧阳老师就耐心的讲解，直到同学弄懂题意，有时还印一些练习卷来做，然后根据同学容易做错的题目，在仔细地讲解，直到同学做对为止，她才慢慢地离去，做自己的工作，老师的付出让同学们对考试也更有信心了，果然在期末考试中，我们拿到了好成绩，算是给欧阳老师的惊喜吧！

我即将毕业了，但欧阳老师为我们班做的一切一切，令我肃然起敬，在这的六年的小学生活里，是您给了我世界上最宝贵的东西—知识；是您让我的成绩和写作水平渐渐的提高；是您让我懂得了做人的道理和做事的原则；是您让我从一个丑小鸭变成里一只美丽的天鹅；是您用知识的源泉改变了我的人生；是您创造了一个全新的我。我会永远记住这为可亲可敬、关爱学生的优秀老师—欧阳老师。

暑假里，我和我的`好朋友一起去黄河滩游玩。那里的人可真多!有的在堆沙堡，有的在捉小鱼，还有的在捡贝壳。大家别提有多开心啦!我和我的好朋友找了一块既安静又安全的地方开始堆沙堡，我们先是堆了一座大山，然后又堆了几间小房子，把它们链接在一起，一座漂亮的沙堡就完成啦!

当我们堆完沙堡的时候，我看见那边还有很多的人在玩滑沙，我的好朋友觉得挺好玩的，想去那边看看，我想了想，我有点恐高，但也只能舍命陪君子。因为我看到其他的小朋友都是拿着滑沙板从沙坡上面滑下来的，那里好高呀，我有点恐高，但我不想告诉我的好朋友，因为我怕她会耻笑我，只能说这个游戏没办法两个人一起玩，让她先玩吧。我就在下面静静的看着。当我的好朋友飞一般的从上面沙坡上滑下来，走到我面前就满脸笑容的说，简直太好玩了!我一听，心里也痒痒的想试一下。我小心翼翼的拿着滑沙板爬到沙坡上面，太高了我还是有点害怕，当然我也不想让我好朋友看出来什么，“哎!还是硬着头皮试试吧!也许真的是很好玩!”我自我安慰着，我小心翼翼的放下滑沙板，小心翼翼的坐上去，紧紧的抓着滑沙板前面的安全手，慢慢的滑到坡处，也许……。简直是飞一样的速度我就从沙坡上面一下滑了下来。太刺激了，太好玩了!我克服了恐惧，我心里也暗自高兴起来，终于我明白了为什么那么多的人乐此不疲的玩这个了，后来我们各自又玩了好几次!真的是太好玩了。

不知不觉，天已经黑了。爸爸妈妈叫我们回家，我们高高兴兴的踏上了返回的旅程。我觉得这件事是我暑假里最有趣的事情了。这次旅行后我克服了自己恐高的心理障碍，以后也不会因为恐高在小伙伴面前丢脸了。

August 12，2012 Friday Today， I did housework for grandmother. She is not very healthy and I decide to do housework for her more frequently. And she will feel happy and bee better. Suddenly， an idea hit me that it’s terrible to grow old becuase you have to worry about both your health and others’ opinions. Once again， I make a decision to be a good girl. 译文：这天，我帮忙了奶奶做家务.奶奶的身体不好.我以后要常帮她做事.这样她就会高兴身体也会好一些.突然觉得，人老了真不好.不但身体不会好，而且一不留意就会惹得大家厌恶.我又做了一个决定，以后必须要做个乖孩子。

“时光如水，生命如歌。”在白驹过隙间，我们又送走了紧张的一学期，迎来了又一个暑假。

在一个风和日丽的早晨，东方的天际还未清晰。我在爸爸妈妈的陪同下，来到少年活动中心，映入眼帘的是一片花的海洋，左边的一朵朵月季，花团锦簇，好似围在一齐说悄悄话。右边还有一些争奇斗艳不知名的花儿，红的似一团火焰熊熊燃烧，粉的如一道霞光傲然怒放，白的像洁白的雪花，给人以飘然欲仙的感觉。

我们走进正厅，妈妈给我报了名，上习作学习班。因为我十分喜欢习作，我走进教室，拿出稿纸，聆听着老师为我们传授习作的精华，老师为我们朗诵着那精美的句子，品析里面的学习方法和技巧，构成的语言的精美片段，教我们些暑假生活，原先生活是那样美妙呀！不知不觉中上午的精彩课堂就这样度过了。

中午回到家，爸爸让去准备渔具。我就问爸爸：”拿这个干嘛呀？”“当然是去钓鱼。”我听到后兴奋不已。爸爸开车去了雁栖湖，还有一些爸爸的朋友一齐去，他们把鱼竿支好，就耐心地等待着。我便和妈妈、阿姨、仔怡上了大轮船。“隆隆”声音传过我的耳里，船要起航了，开始慢慢地驶向中央，看着海水任意的打在轮船上，我们静静享受着海风的清爽，一切都这么惬意，船在水中行驶着，像小鱼在水里游一样，水的清爽带来了心中清凉，不知不觉回到了岸边。我们下了大轮船，直接奔向了脚蹬船，使船前行。我把手放在水里，泼起一朵朵浪花，自己仿佛是浪花中仙子。我们越行越远，风也越来越大，导致了我们无法回到，只好停留在此。等了一会儿，风渐渐小了，但回到岸边还是很困难。我们四人同心协力，费了九牛二虎之力才成功到达岸边。这真是有惊无险的经历呀！这时远远的看见了他们呆着好多鱼从那边走了过来。我们在旁边的一家烧烤店里爸爸让他们把钓来的鱼烤了。过了不久，一股扑鼻的香味迎面而来，我咬了一口，真香！

到了晚上，我们回了家。想想，这天可真是有惊无险啊！抬头看着星空那些淘气的小星星，冲着我眨眨眼睛，轻轻闭上眼睛，等待着明天灿烂的曙光。

The day before yesterday, the front wheel of my bike burst the tire, a tack of the ghost, I thought I accidentally got it. Yesterday, the back wheel of my bicycle also exploded, and it was a ghost of a tack. I doubted it very much.

Today, my bike leather are pulled away from my home holding the car, took more than half an hour. What is dad said I was a teacher at the school, really mad at me!

I must buy a bag of tacks, and every man who makes my car will put their car in a tack and let them try the taste of the walking car.

That is, my mother spent a lot of money, is to repair the car frame!

Really mad at me. You say, Ive been down and down???

因为妈妈要回西安办事，所以，这个暑假大多时间是在西安度过。西安比较干燥，比深圳凉快些，再热也就中午热一会，早晚凉，灰尘大些，刚开始不大习惯，一周后就习惯了。

每天我都很早起来，吃了早饭后就写作业，基本是上午完成一天的作业。中午午休后，除了看故事书漫画书外，我就是到楼下玩。

最爱荡秋千，也最爱去看蚂蚁和麻雀，那里的蚂蚁和麻雀都很胖。我还看到了金龟子，它身上的颜色真像金属，很不好抓，它会飞也会打洞跑的很快，好不容易遇着机会抓了两只回来，观察了一天，才放它们飞走了。西安给我的感觉是很古老，不过新建的房子都是很高很高的。大街上什么时候人都多，公交车大多没有空调，主动让座的人不多，这些都让我很想念深圳。西安的回民坊很有特色，有很多的小东西很有趣。最吸引我的是那关在小小草笼子里的大蝈蝈，叫的声音真大，颜色是绿色的呢，好可爱啊!

真想带一只回家，妈妈说，那会吵得人睡不着觉的，只好放弃了。我非常喜欢那里，可惜因为妈妈忙，也就去了一次。西安大雁塔的音乐喷泉很壮观，一次放半小时，我能定定的站着看完整场，能理解什么是气势磅礴了，水竟然能随着音乐的节奏跳舞，真神奇啊!西安的城墙、门口站岗的狮子和兵马俑、弯曲窄窄旧旧的小巷、凉皮、羊肉泡馍、肉夹馍、甑糕、石榴树石榴花……都刻上了西安古老质朴的色彩，造型新颖的高楼和宽阔的马路又给西安添上了发展的色彩。

这次妈妈专门带我坐火车来回，一路上看到了江西、河南和陕西的风景，发现祖国真大真美啊!火车上的餐厅也蛮雅致的呢，坐在那里边吃边看窗外移动的风景，感觉很不一样呢!期待下次再见西安时候，她能变得更美!这个暑假收获真多!

new year party

on new year‘s eve，our class had a party. the atmosphere was good. it was out of the ordinary from the very begining. the boy student from one bedroom gave an unusual performance. we saw a boy named li xinmin turn off all the lights in a sudden snap. then with three resounding（响亮的） crow of a cock echoing in the hall，the hall was again brightly lit in a snap.

then，the representative of the bedroom zhu guozhang asked us to guess a line of a poem related to the above situation. he added that li xinmin alone was born in the year of the dog and the other three were all born in the year of the chicken. they left us all in confusion. and it was our monitor who was quickwitted（机智的）。 he shouted our， “the day breaks as the cock crows three times at dawn.” the hall after that，they had another item. this time li xinmin was placed in the middle of the circle. while he was standing there，the other three stood around him，each bowing down to him at an angle of 120 degrees. it was an idiom. this time i got it right：“the dog stands out among a group of chickens.”

在除夕，我们班有一个聚会。气氛好。它是寻常从一开始。从一间卧室男生给一个不寻常的表现。我们看到名为李新民在突然关闭所有的灯单元一个男孩。然后用三个响亮的（响亮的）的回荡在大厅里鸡叫，大厅明亮又在瞬间点燃。

然后，卧室的朱国章代表要求我们猜测了有关上述情况的诗。他补充说，李新民单是出生在狗年，其他三个都在鸡年出生的。他们给我们留下了所有的混乱。它是我们的班长谁是quickwitted（机智的）。他喊我们，“天休息的鸡叫三在黎明倍。“大厅之后，他们还有另外一个项目。这一次李新民被放置在圆的中间。当他站在那里，其他三个人围着他站着，低头在每一个120度的角度下去见他。这是一个成语。这一次我得到了它的权利：“。狗中脱颖而出的鸡群！“

Learning Foreign Languages

In schools all over the world boys and girls are learning foreign languages。 Many adults are

doing so in their spare time。 Everybody knows his own language， but to know another is very useful。

Which is the best way to learn a language? We should remember we all learnt our own language well when we were children。 If we could learn a second language in the same way， it would not seem so difficult。 Think what a small child does。 It listens to what people say and tries to imitate what it

hears。 When it wants something， it has to ask for it。 It is using the language。 It is talking and thinking in it all the time。 If one has to use a second language all the time， he would learn it quickly。

It is important to remember， also， that we learn our own language by hearing people speaking it not by seeing what they write。 We imitate what we hear。 In school， though you learn to read and write as well as to hear and speak， it is best to learn all new words through the ear。 Of course you also learn to read them， spell them and write them。

世界各地的学校中孩子们都在学习外语。很多成年人在业余时间也在学习外语。每人都懂自己的母语，但知道另一门语言也非常有用。

学习外语最好的方法是什么呢?我们应当记得我们是孩子的时候，自己的母语都学得非常好。如果我们能以同样的方式学习第二种语言，那看起来就不会这么难了。想想小孩是怎样做的。孩子听人们说话然后设法模仿听到的东西。当他需要什么东西的时候，必须去要。他是在使用语言。他一直在用语言说话和思考。如果一个人必须始终

使用第二语言，他就会学得很快。

而且，记住我们学习母语时是通过听别人说话而不是看别人写字，这也很重要。我们模仿我们听到的。 学校中，虽然你除了学习听说，还学习读写，但学习所有新单词最好是通过耳朵。当然你也要学会阅读、拼写和写作。

[关于学习外语的英语作文及翻译

The long summer vacation is coming to an end, and I have taken part in many activities besides study, the most interesting of which is "catching fish".

That day I came to the countryside, and my dad went to catch fish, we can see the bottom of the river a came to the river, through river water can see fish alive, I cant wait to the river, I catch fish and small dad game, I went to a fish, but how the grinch stole Christmas strange fish saw me and I catch it, it is a flash, I suddenly fell down to the, I flipped was determined to hold it and I went chasing up left a scratch, a scratch right indeed as expected but in the end its all worthwhile I finally caught the fish, but again see oneself has become a drowned rat.

I really happy today, although lost, but because no matter winning or losing, let me get a harvest, also had happiness, the person also is compared to catch fish, as long as you work hard, diligently will certainly have a harvest.

暑假的时候，我依然需要每天去上数学补习课，我正要过马路，看到几只燕子在马路上嬉戏着，突然一辆车呼啸而过，我的心一紧，连忙闭上了眼睛。我知道不幸的事情发生了······

当我张开眼睛时，它的身体躺在那马路上了发出微弱的叫声，突然它停下了叫声，我想：它一定是奄奄一息了它的双眼紧闭着，身上流出了朱红的鲜血，尾巴紧贴在马路上。

这时，另一只家燕飞了过来我想：这是它母亲吧!它的母亲在它的身边跳来跳去嘴巴不停地“叽叽”叫着好像是在对儿子说“孩子你可别吓我呀。”可是孩子还是躺在地上一动也不动，第二次它的母亲张开翅膀用力地拍打着自己的孩子，好像在对自己的孩子说“孩子你可不要死啊，我只有你一个孩子呀，可孩子还是一声不吭，这时母亲才知道孩子已经死了。可是母亲想：一定会有奇迹的，可是奇迹没有出现孩子依然躺在马路上，又过了很久它的母亲离开了，但并没有一下子飞，而是一步三回头，最后的母亲舍不得的飞走了。

母亲的爱是无穷的，天下起了细雨，那是母亲在伤心流泪。

暑假一到，因为要阅读考级的原因，我又得背枯燥无味的古诗了。不过，我是能拖就拖，实在躲不过了，也就只好背了!

上个星期，我已经花了一个晚上的时间背了中长篇的古诗《马说》，昨天晚上临睡前，妈妈突然又叫我背古诗了，我懒洋洋地躺在床上不吱声，妈妈就自己挑了一篇刘禹锡的《陋室铭》让我背。

这篇还不错!我心想：“山不在高，有仙则名。水不在深，有龙则灵。斯是陋室，惟吾德馨”这几句我本来就会背的，况且我还在赵老师办公室里看到一幅字写的就是“山不在高，有仙则名。水不在深，有龙则灵”，所以印象特别深刻!

我一起身从妈妈说里夺过打印纸，快速瞄了一眼，又躺下来眯起眼睛准备背。前面几句很快就过了，妈妈接着念下一句，“苔痕上阶绿，草色入廉青。”又解释了诗文的意思，我记住了，然后妈妈从头开始把诗文意思说了一遍，让我对照说原文，就这样，很快地我就已经背了一半的内容了!

看我背得还行，妈妈干脆就直接用解释来让我猜原文，这下我不干了!妈妈说：“猜不出来也没关系，试试看嘛!”她接着就念：“可以弹奏素朴的古琴。”“弹……”“是调!”“哦，可以调……素……琴……”“对!”“太好了，你看，我文学天赋很高吧!哈哈……”我们都笑了起来。就这样，我连猜带蒙地很快把后面的诗也给背下来了!

老妈又出了一招，她报出诗里面的词语，让我来解释，靠着前面的记忆，我也很快地把意思说出来了!这下老妈没招了!哈哈!今天背诗太有成就感了!虽然背诗有时很无聊，不过要是都这样背，也会变得好玩!

I woke up at two oclock in the afternoon today. There was nothing to eat

in the house so I went outside.

I wanted to go to a cheap restaurant and find some food to eat. When I got

to the restaurant, I realized that I forgot to bring money, so I went back

home.

Then I realized that I forgot my keys also, so I waited outside for my mom

to come home and starved the rest of the day.

参考翻译

我今天下午二点醒来。屋子里没东西吃，所以我出去了。

我想去一家便宜的餐馆找些吃的。当我到餐厅的时候，我意识到我忘记带钱了，所以我就回家了。

然后我意识到我也忘了带钥匙，所以我在外面等我妈妈回家，并在之后的时间里一直饿着。

I have many hobbies.In my spare time,I like listening to some pop music,especially the music played by some pop bands.It can make me relax and let me forget my unhappy moment. If Im in good mood,I always read some history books,which I think is benefical to my study .Besides,surfing the Internet is another means of entertainment of mine.Through the Internet I can get some useful information and chat with my friends as well.The Internet has shortened our distance.

我有很多爱好，在我的业余时间，我喜欢听一些流行音乐，特别是一些流行乐队演奏的音乐，它可以让我放松，让我忘记我不开心的时刻。如果我心情好，我总是读一些历史书，我认为这是有利于我的学习。此外，上网是另一个我的娱乐方式。通过网络我可以得到一些有用的信息和与我的朋友聊天，网络拉近了我们的距离。

Which is more important, health or wealth? When given this question, different people have varied answers. Some insist that health plays a more important role in our life, while others see more advantages arising from wealth.

健康和财富，哪个更重要?当这个问题被提出来的时候，不同的人有不同的答案。有些人坚持认为，在我们生活中，健康扮演者更为重要的角色，然而其他人认为健康能带给我们更多利益。

The first group of people quote the old saying "Health is above wealth" to prove their idea. They argue that, on the one hand, a strong person can do almost anything as long as he/she tries hard. On the other hand, however, rich people will not be able to enjoy the wealth if their days are numbered.

支持健康更重要的人引用了一句俗语“健康就是财富”来证明他们的观点(是正确的)。他们认为，在某一方面来说，强壮的人，只要他们肯努力，那他们几乎能做任何事情。可是，从另一方面来说，如果有钱人活着的日子屈指可数的话，那他们将没法享受健康。

In contrast, the advocates of wealth have such arguments as follows. For one thing, wealthy people will be able to buy more healthful foods. For another, they can enjoy better facilities to improve their health. Take my neighbor, Lao Wang, as an example. He had a heart attack and is in hospital. However, he cannot afford the expensive operation, which costs as much as 100,000 yuan. Therefore, he has to lie in bed hopelessly. If he were a rich man, his life could be saved.

相反地，支持财富更为重要的人就有以下的争论。首先，有钱的人能买到更有益健康的食物。其次，他们可以享受能提高健康的设备。举个例子来说，我的邻居老王，他有严重的心脏病，并且正在住院(接受治疗)。可是，他没办法负担高达100，000的手术治疗费.因此，他只能毫无希望地躺在病床上。如果他是一个有钱人，那他就能得到治疗。

As far as I am concerned, both health and wealth are important to our life. We should try to strike a balance between them and gain wealth with a healthy body.

我认为，健康和财富对我们生活都很重要。我们应该努力试着在这两者之间做到平衡，并将财富与健康的身体相伴。

Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese people. The Spring Festival is very exciting, especially on the eve of the Spring Festival.

春节对于中国人来说是最重要的节日。在每年的春节都让人兴高采烈，尤其是大年三十那晚，更是达到了高潮。

The Spring Festival lasts for 15 days, there would be starting on the first day, to the end of the January 15 Lantern Festival.it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they have to make for family reunions， buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.

春节一共有15天，从大年初一开始，到元月十五元宵节这一天结束。在这段比较长的时间是中国人最忙的时候，他们为家庭聚会作安排，采购年货，准备丰盛的食物，以至于整个春节假期都忙忙碌碌的。许多人在春季期间都要回老家过年，跟朋友碰碰头，聚个餐。庆祝春节也包括大扫除和放烟火。但是我们现在要谈的是越来越淡的年味。

Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

现在的春节已经因为我国经济的发展和全球化的影响而改变了很多。

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times， something that does not apply to society today. More often than not， people faced the risk of famine. The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty， and that was possible in spring， or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.

但是没有哪个春节是完全离得开“吃”的。从前，不论人们提前多久想要买年货，总是不能如愿，而现在早已今非昔比。过去常常还要闹饥荒。人们最好的庆祝时间就是他们能得到食物丰盛的时候，也就是春天或是元月初的那段时间。那也是为什么春节对于中国人如此重要的主要原因。

But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China， except for those who are still poor， can enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.

但是三十年来的经济发展已经让中国人，除了那些仍然穷苦的人以外，随时都能享受美食。这得益于人民财富的增长，但是后者也导致一些人吃得太多而受到肥胖威胁和健康问题。

In the past， celebrations were limited to events like song-and-dance duets in North China， dragon/lion dances in South China and fireworks， which required the joint efforts of the entire community. But economic development and urbanization seems to have weakened the social links among people. Many， especially those living in cities， are not interested in celebrating the festival with people they hardly know.

在过去，庆祝春节还只停留在北方的二人转和南方的舞龙舞狮等形式。那些庆祝活动往往需要许多人合力才能办得起来。但是经济的发展和国际化程度的提升似乎已经将这种社会联系弱化了。许多人，特别是城市居民，不太愿意与不相识的人一起共度春节。

Many customs associated with Spring Festival have changed， too. In the past， people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today， many people， especially the youth， use their cell phones or the Internet to send their good wishes and even "gifts" to their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones， but we should see this development as a time- and energy-saving exercise granted by the information age.

与春节相关的许多习俗也被改变了。在过去，人们常常会带着礼物走亲访友，互道祝福。今天许多人，特别是年轻人，用手机或是网络向亲朋好友发去“礼物”和祝福。有些人或许会说，这说明人们已经没有那么关心至爱亲朋了，但是我们应该把这种变化看作信息化时代省钱省力的好办法。

In recent times， many people have started praying for a career promotion or more money instead of invoking God or the Buddha for a healthy and long life and the welfare of their family. But the number of such people is decreasing now， which shows that people are becoming more reasonable.

最近几年，许多人开始祈祷事业高升，财源滚滚，而不是求神拜佛，他们身体健康，长命百岁，家庭美满。但是这样的人数现在正在减少，说明人们开始变得更加理性。

难忘的回忆

Last summer holiday, I learned to swim. It was very unforgettable and interesting. I went to the swimming pool with my father. He taught me how to swim. At first, I was afraid of diving in the water. And I felt uncomfortable in the water. But father said it doesn’t matter and he would protect me. Then I began to swim, but I couldn’t swim forward at all. It made me upset. Then father told me how to move, how to stretch out my hands and legs. Slowly, I could move a little. In fact, it was not that easy. I learned it for almost half a month. I was excited when father told me I made it.

这篇内容是关于回忆的初中英语作文，讲述的是暑假去学游泳，我和爸爸去游泳池，他叫我怎么游的故事。

Yesterday, I decided to go outside for picnic, but unfortunately, it

suddenly rained.I felt very disappointed, but I knew one thing: next time, when

I decide to do something, I should pay attention to the weather

forecast.Finally, I had to change my mind, and I had to stay at home all day

watching TV and reading books.I like sunny days very much, and I dont like

rainy days any more. But I know if there are no rainy days, there will be a lack

of water, and I know it is very terrible if there is not enough water.But I

still like sunny days because I like sunshine very much.

昨天我决定去野炊，不幸的是突然下雨了，我感到很失望。但我知道了一件事，下次当我决定做什么的时候，应该留意一下天气预报。最后，我不得不改变我的主意。整天呆在家里看电视和书。我很喜欢晴天，一点也不喜欢下雨天。但是我知道如果不下雨的话，我们就没有水，那很糟。但我仍然喜欢晴天，因为我非常喜欢阳光。
