我喜欢狗初一英语作文（推荐20篇）

我虽然没有养过狗，但是我却非常喜欢狗。小花是我表妹家的小母狗，它全身黑白相间，两只耳朵也是花色的，要是它一动不动地蜷缩在地上，别人还会以为它是一个足球呢！它一热就会把粉嘟嘟的小舌头伸出来散热。它虽然还很年轻，但却长着老爷爷般的白花花的胡须，要不是时不时地流露出它那天真的眼神，还会以为它是一只老态龙钟的“长者”了呢！

周六，我到表妹家吃饭，小花那次正好也在家，它不停地在桌子底下走来走去，眨巴着水汪汪的大眼睛看着大家，还用毛茸茸的尾巴在我的腿上亲昵地蹭来蹭去，瞧着它那副可爱的模样，我偷偷地从盘子里挑了一块大大的牛肉放进了它的嘴里，谁知，小花这一吃竟然吃上瘾了，为了吃到更多的牛肉，小花把两只前脚搭在了我膝盖上，然后把下巴也放在上面，用讨好的眼神看着我，它此时的眼神无论谁看了都会可怜它。它还时不时地轻声叫唤，我只好又给了它几片牛肉。唉，真是个名副其实的吃货呀！

小花虽然贪吃，但是也很勇敢。别看它小，但它可是表妹家母鸡们地救星呢！就在周五的晚上，夜深人静，有一只狡猾的黄鼠狼悄然无息地“潜入”到鸡窝旁，正当它准备扑向母鸡时，小花却抢先一步扑到了它的身上，猛咬起来，但黄鼠狼又狠狠地抓了下小花，它们扭打着在地上滚来滚去，进行了一场生死搏斗……虽然小花把黄鼠狼咬死了，但身上也留下了几道口子，我和表妹心疼不已，于是我们准备了更多的美食奖励给它，并给它的伤口消了毒。

小花既可爱又勇敢，我爱小花！

The puppys character is also naive and lovely. Sometimes I fight with a kitten, and I will scold him. No matter how to beat it or curse it, it will not bite you. It will not bite you like a child who has done something wrong.

雨，柔柔地下着，静静的，轻轻的。雨丝从灰蒙蒙的天空飘飘洒洒地降落下来，宛如凌波仙子悄然落地。即使落在人们的脸上，也只留下一阵凉爽的感觉。世界寂静无声，仿佛是怕打搅熟睡中的人们的好梦。 rain, softly underground, quiet, light.The rain silk landed from the gray sky fluttering, as if the fairy Lingbo landed quietly.Even if it fell on peoples face, only a cool feeling was left.The world is silent, as if he is afraid of the good dream of people who sleep.

不一会儿，地面变得潮湿而润泽，空气中弥漫着早春特有的那一股寒意和清新的气息。在这如轻烟般的细雨中，一切都是那么安详与宁静，让人从心底感到舒适。

“沙沙沙，沙沙沙”，小雨珠落在嫩芽上，像少女抚着琴弦，它们的身边又钻出了一些可爱的小芽。

小雨珠落在那胭脂般的桃花瓣上，缓缓地滚动着，花瓣上出现了闪着银光的珍珠。

小雨珠落在地上，渗进了肥沃的泥土里。菜苗伸展着嫩叶，顶着亮晶晶的雨珠，像翡翠般发亮。小草也苏醒了，它伸伸腰，钻出了地皮。

小雨珠落在了鱼塘里，平静的水面泛起了粼粼的涟漪，机灵的鱼儿跃出水面，又立刻跳入水中。

我突然想起杜甫吟咏春雨的名句：“随风潜入夜，润物细无声。”是啊，在这土地的下面，花、草、树、庄稼都正在舒展根须，接受着早春细雨的恩泽。“润物细无声”的春雨似乎并没有带来什么巨大的奇迹，但它却孕育着春的奇迹。

哦，美妙的春雨!你是春的使者，你跟随春姑娘来到大地上，大地便生机勃勃，散发出一阵阵花香和泥土的芳香。

春雨潇潇，大地萌生出—股新的希望。

，I Like History Lesson，这是我喜欢历史课的英语作文范文，大家赶紧来看看吧。

The lesson I like most is history, because the historical stories are interesting. When I was a little child, my grandparents often told me the great events in history. In the middle school, we have history lesson. Some of my classmates think that history is uninteresting. And there are many things to remember, which is hard for them. However, I have different opinions. If you are interested in it, you will find it would be much easier. I like the ancient history of our country most. Our country has a long history, so there are many interesting stories. In addition, my history teacher is funny and knowledgeable. He always makes the lesson vivid and interesting. I like his lesson very much.

我最喜欢的课程是历史因为历史故事很有趣。当我还是个小孩的时候，我爷爷经常告诉我历史中的大事件。初中的时候我们开设了历史课。我有些同学认为历史没有意思，而且又很多东西要记，这对于他们来说很困难。但是我对此有不同的看法。如果你对它感兴趣就会觉得它容易得多。我最喜欢的是中国古代历史。我们国家历史悠久因此有很多有趣的故事。此外，我的历史老师很有趣而且学识渊博。他总是能够使课堂生动有趣，我很喜欢上他的课。

小小的狗狗还会自得其乐，如果没有人搭理他，他就会自己玩自己的，一会将一个小球用爪子推过来扑过去，并不时发出呜呜 的声音，一会又玩起来跳高，只见他一个跳跃，自己就潇洒的从地上跳到了睡觉的篮子里，又马上转身从里面迅速的跳了出来，并骄傲的抖抖身上的毛，围着篮子转上几圈，似乎在检验自己的跳高成绩。

更逗的是，狗狗喜欢我的爱抚，如果一看到我们的手伸向他，不过他正在玩什么，他都会马上躺下，肚皮朝天，希望我们能抚摩一下，如果你不断的抚摩他，他就会沉溺与你的爱抚中，象一个孩子一样，开始睡眼朦胧，，甚至还会打起鼾，进入他的梦乡，那份惬意，让人看了都有些羡慕。

There are many television programs in taiwan today, from tv aeries, quiz shows, soap operas, movies to cartoons. of all the programs, i like to watch cartoons the best, like cartoon network, disney and many others. i like to watch cartoons because they are funny and very interesting, especially when i am sad, tired or bored.

I also like cartoon characters. they are so cute and vivid. we must use our imagination when we watch cartoons. because they are often exaggerated, so you need to have a sense of humor.

I always think there is not enough time. For example, I have just taken a three-day holiday. But when I look back, I just feel that it’s only one day. There goes a proverb, “Time is money”. Now I want to say, time is more precious than money, because when money is spent, we can earn some more again. However, when time is gone or lost, never will it return.

Time goes without being noticed. The time for our study and work is usually limited. So I think we must make full use of our time. But it’s a pity that I am always not aware of the importance of time until it’s too late.

So I think, I should get into the good habit of saving time because wasting time is equal to wasting one’s life. Do not put off what can be done today till tomorrow!

我总觉得时间不够。例如，我刚刚参加了为期3天的假期。但是当我回头看，我只是觉得这是唯一的一天。有句谚语说，“时间就是金钱”。现在我想说，时间比金钱更宝贵，因为当钱花掉的时候，我们可以再挣一些钱。然而，当时间流逝，它永远不会回来。

时间不被察觉。我们学习和工作的时间通常是有限的。所以我认为我们必须充分利用我们的时间。但遗憾的是，我总是不知道时间的重要性，直到一切都太迟了。

所以我想，我应该养成节约时间的好习惯，因为浪费时间等于浪费生命。不要把今天能完成的事拖到明天！

I jumped into the water, swam to the boy and dragged him to the river bank. the boy said he was trying to catch a fish near the river bank and carelessly fell into the water. I asked him where his home was and sent him home. "Thank you very much!" the boys parents said, when I left his home. Though I got home late that afternoon, I was very happy.

我家养了一只小狗，因为它的耳朵很像小灰灰，所以取名叫“小灰灰”。

它的眼睛大大的，像紫葡萄一样。它的耳朵是垂下来的，就像动画片里的小灰灰。小灰灰它很喜欢做一个动作，它这样很可爱，就是把爪子放在下巴两边，躺在地上，眼睛也慢慢地眨着，它经常会用这个动作“求情”。

记得有一次，我们在吃饭的时候，我和家人在谈笑，小狗闻到饭菜的香味就跑了过来，一下子扑到了桌子上。我们都惊呆了，爸爸马上把“小灰灰”赶了下去，我生气地看着它，它知道犯了错，躺在地上卖起了萌，看见它这个样子，我竟无言以对。

不要以为小灰灰只会卖萌、装可怜，它也有凶猛的一面呢！它特别的护主。

那也是吃饭的时候，我家的猫“小喵”，想扑到桌子上来，我用手挡住了，没想到它居然想要抓我，就在它快要抓到我的时候，“小灰灰”闪电般帮我挡住了，还对小喵低吼，最后要不是我阻止了，它们可能会打起来呢！

我家的“小灰灰”就是这样——不仅可爱，还很勇敢。也正因为它勇敢，才显得更加可爱。

我特别喜欢的小动物是小狗。

我家里有一只小狗名叫小花，因为它的毛是黄白相间的。小花最大的特点是在我们吃饭的时候，一直要钻到桌子底下，向我吐吐舌头，像个饥饿的小孩子似的，好像在说：“求求你，给我一块肉吃吧！”我勉强给了它一块又大又肥又嫩的鸡肉，小花看见了，赶紧跑过去，狼吞虎咽地吃掉了那块鸡肉。第二次我丢的是一片鲜嫩的鸭肉，它又津津有味地吃了起来。小花饭后喜欢用舌头舔舔自己的脸，它热的时候也用舌头散热，或者“汪汪“地叫几下，这样我就能知道它热了。

小花要是不到指定区域去拉“粑粑“的话，它就要受罚了。我高声喝到：“小花，你为什么又拉在地板上了？我要罚你面壁思过5分钟。”我一指墙角，小花就噔噔噔地跑过去面壁思过了。

每当我回家的时候，小花都兴高采烈的摇摇尾巴像是在迎接我进门。每当有亲戚来我们家的时候，它都“汪汪汪”地叫上三声，好像在说：“欢迎您。”

小花对来我家的人都非常友好，家里人常深情地夸我说：“宝贝养了一只殷勤好客的小狗。”

这就是我喜欢的小狗！

春雨淅淅沥沥的下个不停，滋润着世间万物。这些春雨近看如同一颗颗珍珠。远看好似一根根细小的绣花针，布满了天空，天地间如同在雾气之中，给春天增添了几分美丽的色彩。 The next next to the rain of spring rain, moisturizing all things in the world.These spring rain looks like pearls.From a distance, it looks like a small embroidery needle, covered with the sky, and the world is like in the mist, adding a bit of beautiful colors to spring.

春雨像细纱般，降临到了人间，在阳光的照耀下，好似一颗颗闪耀的钻石，为小草、大树又增添了几分色彩，几分华丽。

春雨像细纱般，降落到人间，轻抚着美丽的鲜花，让花儿不再害羞，尽情地绽放，向春天呈现出它的色彩。

春雨像细纱般的悄悄地来到农田，它浇灌着农民伯伯用自己勤劳的双手播种的希望。

春雷轰轰隆隆，敲开了河面的冰窗。让小溪快乐的流淌，春雨如同一个大钟，唤醒了河底的小鱼，告诉它们春暖花开的季节到了。春雨也如同一个服装师，给小溪穿上了它亲手制作的碧波涟漪。

小朋友们正在追逐嬉戏，春雨也如同一个可爱顽皮的孩子，被小朋友们的欢乐笑语吸引过来，和他们一起开始了游戏。春雨无处不在，它还来到了大山上，抚摸着这里游人的脸庞，让他们倍感清凉。

春雨也是一位魔术师，洗刷完空气和大地上的尘埃，还不忘最后的退场秀，给人们留下新的希望。
