初中英语光盘行动作文（优秀19篇）

今天上午，老师向我们宣布了一个使全班沸腾的消息——从中午时开展“护蛋”行动！一听到这个消息全班顿时炸开了锅，直到老师示意我们安静下来，大家才陆陆续续地停下。“护蛋？”我心里悄悄打着如意算盘，可老师接下来说的话把我从头到脚用冷水浇了个透：“不准用熟蛋！”接下来老师又对我们说了一些护蛋要求后，眼保健操的音乐如期而至，而我虽然在做眼保健操，可心里却在思索：“这护蛋？该怎么护呢？”

下午，护蛋行动正式开始了，可是第一节课还没开始，就有一颗蛋出师未捷身先死了，那就是——陈同学的蛋。“嘻，噢，咦”各种各样的声音从四面八方传来，同情地看着他手中那已经碎的稀巴烂的蛋。

自从有同学的蛋破了以后，大家都开始小心翼翼地护着蛋了。这样相安无事的情况一直维持到了第三节课，可是好景不长，过不久又一位同学的蛋破了。唉，我担忧地望了望我的鸡蛋，不知道我的蛋前途会怎么样呢？

“呼”一转眼今天中午护蛋计划就要结束了，回想起这两天，可真是心惊胆战呢！我在心里想着。

放学了，我随着路队的人流，被挤来挤去，突然一声“砰”我的心提到了嗓子里，因为书包的侧袋里装着这两天以来，我费尽心思要保护的蛋！我像只被猎人举着猎枪追赶的小兔子般，慌忙地从侧袋中拿出了鸡蛋，心中祈祷：不要碎，千万不要碎啊！可老天仿佛在跟我作对一般，拿出的鸡蛋，碎了！我的心在看到碎鸡蛋的那一刻就如同鱼汤里的鱼渣一般被一口一口地吞进肚子里。

回到家，望着那一个已经破碎的鸡蛋，我不禁陷入了沉思，这还仅仅是一个鸡蛋，如果我们只护一个蛋就要如此小心谨慎，那么我们的妈妈有怀我们的时候喜欢吃的不能吃，不喜欢吃的就得吃，生下我们后，还要含辛茹苦地照顾我们，比这要辛苦百倍，那我们有什么资格照顾一个蛋就说辛苦呢？护蛋结束了，但却让我更深刻地了解到“妈妈”这个称呼的含义。

那是一个风和日丽的中午，我吃完午饭，便从食堂走出来。门口的小菜圃里，碧绿的小青菜得意地舒展着裙摆；黄橙橙的土豆奋力地往外钻着，露出了圆圆的大脑袋；边上种着的大葱，株株硕大圆润地挺立着腰板。我望着眼前喜人的小东西们，不觉露出了甜甜的微笑。

怀着欣喜，我继续朝教学楼走去，意外地发现几个高年级的大姐姐蹲着围在了一起。“是不是有什么好玩的呢？得赶紧去看看哦。”没等我想完，好奇的脚步早已抢先迈到了那里。这一看，才知并不是我想的那样有趣。一个短头发、戴眼镜的姐姐正坐在地上，咧着嘴小声地哼哼：“我的脚，好痛，我的脚，痛……”原来，是她不小心扭伤了，走不了了。她的几个同伴几次试着扶她站起来，都无济于事。

放眼望望四周，没有一个强壮的人，老师们此时正在食堂吃饭，去叫他们，无疑不是时候。望着她疼得扭曲的脸，我下了决心。

“来，上来吧！我背你上去。”

“这怎么行呢？你背不动的。”她连连摇头说。

“没关系，试试吧，我的力气可大着呢，连我妈妈都背得动，你比她瘦小多了呢！上来吧！”说着，我就蹲到了地上。

在我几次三番的鼓励下，她慢慢地趴到了我的背上。

我抓住她的大腿，咬着牙，用力往上一送，背住了。稳了稳身子，我朝前迈开了步子。刚开始走平路的那几步还好，又有其他姐姐的帮忙，似乎还能承受。可是眼前就到了楼梯口，想着姐姐在四楼的教室，眼前一阵晕眩。连忙又稳了稳身子，再次把她的身体往上送了送，鼓起勇气，奋力登了上去。一……二……三……我边登，边数着楼梯。由于在登楼梯，姐姐们想帮忙，也无力使劲，只能靠我自己一步一步地往上。渐渐地，我的手有点抓不住她的腿了，感觉身上像有一座大山压着，好重好重，我的腿也好重好重，几乎无法往上抬起。

“放我下来吧！你会受不了的！”背上的姐姐忍不住说道。

“不行，如果我把你放下，就再没有力气背上了。放心吧，我能行的！”我坚持着说。

不知哪来的力气，我再次把姐姐的身体往上一送，又一次紧紧地抓住了她的腿，咬着牙往上登。在我不断地坚持下，在姐姐们不停地鼓励下，我终于把她背到了老师的办公室。当身上这座大山顷刻间从身上移去的时候，我觉得自己的身体像散了架似的，一屁股坐到了椅子上大口大口地喘着粗气。

“谢谢你，小妹妹，真的很感谢你。”

“不用谢，只是我应该做的。”

是啊，学雷锋，见行动，而并不是一句空话。

at present, more and more people think that men and women should enjoy

equal rights. many countries even have passed laws to guarantee such an equality

between different sexes. accordingly, there are now no longer certain jobs or

certain places that are closed to women. the number of business women, female

doctors, scientists and leaders is considerably increasing.

there are three main reasons for the improvement of womens social

position. first, women themselves have been persistently struggling for

equality. second, men also realize that women are not born inferior to them.

women can do a great many things as well as or even better than men. third,

social development has produced a great demand for womens participation in

every field.

in spite of these changes the liberation of women has not been completely

realized. prejudice against women is deeply rooted still in some peoples mind,

especially in distant rural areas. so, mankind should take further painstaking

efforts to really realize equality.

Pollution around us

In recent years our life is becoming better and better. But our environment is becoming worse and worse. Its very bad for our life. Now many people have air-conditioners and cars, they produce (give off ) waste gas. More and more trees are being cut down. There are so much sand on the earth (leaving only sand ) . We often see factories pour waste into rivers or lakes. Water in the river is quite dirty. We havent enough clean water to drink in cities. Now we are in danger. Its very necessary and important to protect the environment well. I think if everyone tries his best to protect the environment, the world will become much more beautiful , and our life will be better and better .

我们周围的污染

近年来我们的生活越来越好。但是，我们的环境越来越糟。它对我们的生活很糟糕。现在很多人都有空调和汽车，他们生产的（出）废气。越来越多的树被砍伐。有那么多的沙子在地球（只留下沙）。我们经常看到工厂把废水倒入河流或湖泊。河里的水很脏。我们没有足够的干净的水的城市。现在我们有危险。这是非常必要和重要的保护好环境。我想，如果每个人都尽自己最大的努力去保护环境，世界将变得更加美丽，我们的生活会越来越好。

Computer has been part of our life. We use it to work or to keep in touch

with our friends. Computer provides people a way to recognize the world and

share resources. For teenagers, they are so crazy about computer games. There

always news reports teenagers playing computer games for a long time. Some

people blame the company to create online games, while others criticize the

school for not educating children well. Actually, parents have much

responsibility to teach their children the danger of playing online game too

much. Whats more, not every child overuses computer, so it depends on their

behavior.

What kind of environment should be? Ought to be beautiful, but also should

be to let people feast for the eyes, but now all of you take a look at the

environment, beautiful? Let people feast for the eyes? The answer is no.

So what should we do? Today, Ill give you some advice to protect the

environment, the content is as follows:

We live earth is deteriorating rapidly, did we have to pay attention to

their own living environment cause harm to nature, you must not throw sundry,

especially those serious pollution of garbage, waste batteries, for example,

because the section waste batteries contain heavy metals, if flow to clean the

water, it is very much pollution, then try to save trees made items such as

paper, pencils, because waste these things is the destruction of the forest.

Also try to use less disposable lunch box, chopsticks and plastic bags and other

items, so as to avoid unnecessary waste and reduce waste.

There are some tips: walking to closing the master switch, in order to

avoid electrical appliances overheating explosion, a waste of money and waste of

electricity, save water, to shut the tap when brushing your teeth, wash dish

water to rice, rice water to water the flowers, wash water can sweep the floor,

so we can reduce some waste. 12 dont hunt wild animals, animal protection is

absolutely cant kill, but dont kill the common animals such as frogs, because

frogs eat 15000 bugs for us, and most are pests. Some people often dont think

that is, the stubborn still, so we should try to eat less wild animals, lead to

wild animals, the drop in sales no longer killing of wild animals.

Our forest is called oxygen plant, so to take good care of flowers and

plants, not to destroy the city greening, and actively participate in. But also

to cut down trees less, dont waste wood items, because waste these things is to

destroy the forest, so be used sparingly, to protect the forests of less and

less.

Use energy saving lamps to replace the ordinary light bulb, although some

expensive but can use less electricity. I appeal to you: in our daily actions to

protect earths environment, let our children and grandchildren live in a

beautiful environment!

Dear Michael，

You want to know the changes about my hometown。 You know， great changes

have taken place since 60 years ago。

In the past， the living conditions were very poor。 There were not many

buses or cars， and the roads were narrow。 Usually， a big family was crowed into

a small， dark house。 Most families couldn’t get enough food。 The communications

were simple and slow。 People kept in touch with their friends and relatives far

away mainly by letter or telegram。

Thanks to the government， our hometown has developed rapidly in recent

years。 The living conditions are much better and more comfortable。 The roads are

wide。 Some people have their own cars。 Most of the people have lived in big new

houses。 Quite a few adults have mobile phones。 Because of many good policies， I

think our lives will become better and better。

Sincerely

Kang Min

放月假那天，杨老师给我们布置了一项特殊的作业——护蛋行动，回家叫妈妈煮一个鸡蛋，这个鸡蛋要随身携带，不能和身体分开，看谁护得最好。杨老师话音刚落，教室里就像炸开了锅似的，同学们议论纷纷。有的说：“这怎么行呢？简直比登天还难呢！鸡蛋可是一碰就裂的”。有的说：“这简直就是不可能完成的任务！”我想，这不是小菜一碟吗？太简单了。

一回到家，我就迫不及待地让妈妈给我煮好一个鸡蛋，我从旧被子里抽出一些棉花，把蛋包起来，外面用五六张面巾纸再裹一裹，还找来一根细线包扎好，呵呵~我的蛋宝宝被我裹得像个重伤员，这样安全了吧？我小心翼翼地把它放进口袋里，走到哪就带到哪，形影不离，我还时不时地把手伸进口袋里摸摸，有时候还拿出来瞧一瞧，这一整天我不敢出去乱蹦乱跳，做什么事都轻手轻脚，全身心地呵护着我的“小宝贝”。晚上，我把它放在床头中间，盯着我的小宝贝入眠，梦中都在担心着蛋壳会不会裂开，就这样，提心吊胆的一天过去了，我的鸡蛋完好无损，同时，我也感到从未有过的压力。

第二天早上，吃饭的时候，我不小心碰到了墙，只听“卡嚓”一声，该不会是我的蛋破了吧？我赶紧从口袋里拿出来，轻轻地解开里三层外三层的包扎物，天啊！蛋壳纵横交叉地裂开了，我的“小宝贝”见马克思去了。

就在我失败的一瞬间，我想，保护一个小小的鸡蛋都这么难，我们这些有胳膊有腿的大活人，爸爸妈妈要把我们抚养大，呵护我们成长，不知有多难啊？“谁言寸草心，报得三春晖！”假如我们不好好学习，怎能报答父母的养育之恩呢？

Transportation has been greatly changed in the past few years. In ancient days, people used to travel by horse or carriage. The journey was often tiring and tedious. Then people had buses, trains and ships, which could shorten the time of the long-distance trip. Now we have not only more private cars, but also planes and high-speed rails. All of these modern transports could offer us a quick and pleasant travel. Thus, more and more people enjoy traveling very much these days. In conclusion, modern transportation has completely changed our life. Thanks to modern transportation, our world is becoming smaller and smaller.

人类已进入了一个崭新的世纪，不同的人有不同的幸福观。An Express Way to English (英语通)正在中学生中进行幸福观的讨论，请你根据下表的提示，用英语写一篇短文，以便向该刊投稿。

Happiness

Happiness means different things to different people. For example, some students believe that if they have much money or a large number of possessions, they will be happy. They believe that they will be able to do anything they want to if they have money. Some students think that they should be in good health, and enjoy whatever they like. Many students wish to have much wealth from their parents. In this way they don’t have to work hard, and they can have everything. I don’t agree with the above points. We can’t buy many important things with money, such as health, happiness and knowledge. I value knowledge, which makes me happy, for I can do much for mankind with knowledge. Although different people value happiness differently, my “wealth” of happiness is in my study.

[描写春节的初中英语作文

Autumn came, marching with golden brown leaves paved the carpet, quietly came to my side, no sound, no shadow, people unpredictable.

Autumn, no summer warm surging, no winter snow wrapped, no spring full of vitality. Autumn, only a touch of light, a touch of fantastic atmosphere.

Spring is the season of the poets; summer, the season of the girls; winter, the childrens season. And autumn and autumn who is the season? I said: autumn is the season of farmers, is the harvest season, is the dream of the season.

Autumn is the season of rain. Autumn rain is not as delicate as the rain so light, but also has its unique charm. As the saying goes: "a autumn rain a cold," it is true, autumn rain, what is the next few days, the rain drip, dripping in the hands of the ice, with an inexplicable chill, the distance Of the mountain children are dyed gray. Hold up a small flower umbrella, walking in the rain, watching the rain dripping from the umbrella, stroking slightly cold air, this is an alternative to enjoy.

Autumn is the season of leaves. Look at the original green tree leaves from the green into a yellow, was the autumn wind blowing, and even jump to jump, as butterflies generally beat the child fell down. Leaves the roots, the leaves of children who flew to the feet of the mother, into the dust, moisten the soil, so the end of their own short and full of life.

Looking at the leaves, looking at the rain, I can not help but lament: autumn, you are not spring full of vitality, but you have, is a spring does not have, different beauty!

一个周末，我和陈芷涵、陈思源三个小朋友在爸爸妈妈的带领下，走进了“仙居土菜馆”饭店。

哟，这家饭店很奇特，它的装修与其他的店好不一样哦，店里最显眼的既不是张贴的各式菜肴，也不是各种奇珍异玩，而是那闪闪亮的一个个光碟。我的好奇心马上被勾了起来：“好奇怪哦，这又不是音像店，为什么要挂这么多光盘呀?”“是啊，这里为什么要挂光盘?你们能找找原因吗?”妈妈接嘴了。一听这话，我们立马四处行动，哦，答案随处可见：“今天不剩饭，从我做起，我，是光盘”、“有一种节约叫光盘，有一种公益叫光盘，有一种习惯叫光盘!”……我们一行一行地大声读着这些标语。

“现在你们知道店里为什么要挂光盘了吧!”陈思源妈妈说。那就今天我们也开始‘光盘’吧!”陈芷涵大叫。“好的。那我们怎么能做到‘光盘’呢?”妈妈紧跟着问。“那就少点一些菜。”陈思源出主意了。“好，你们先上去，我们点菜。”我们快速跑到楼上，找好位置坐下。不一会，菜上来了，跟平时不一样，这次的菜只有六菜一汤，早已饿得饥肠辘辘的我们开始狼吞虎咽地吃了起来。

不一会儿，我们三个就吃得肚儿滚滚圆，开始玩自己的游戏，而六个大人则还在有滋有味地边聊边吃。没过多久，陈思源爸爸叫道：“小的们，‘光盘’行动开始了。”“耶!”我们欢呼，然后快速回到座位。

在最后的分手时，我们三个约好以后天天都要发扬“光盘”精神，让垃圾桶里不再出现剩饭剩菜，做个真正的“光盘族”!

古语说：“锄禾日当午，汗滴禾下土。谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦”。这是出自李绅的一首诗《悯农》，从这首诗讲述了一粒粒粮食是农民伯伯辛苦种出来的。

“舌尖上的浪费”这句话每个人都知道，但知道为什么不去用行动来表示，比如我，我也要节约粮食，从我做起。一天，妈妈炒了一盘青椒菜，我狼吞虎咽地吃了起来，由于吃的太猛，我呛住了，而且几根青椒也从筷子里掉了下来，此时，妈妈见桌子上有几根青椒丝，便对我说：“珍惜粮食就是热爱生命，你如果不节约粮食，就等于不热爱生命，你看那些非洲的小朋友，饿得面黄肌瘦，你有饭吃就算好的啦!你快点用筷子把桌子上的青椒丝夹起来吃了吧”。我说：“粮食还多着呢，我就不吃”。妈妈瞬间变得严肃起来，说：“你不要不把珍惜粮食当回事看，如果有一天粮食没有了，你肯定后悔当初为什么不节约这一点点粮食，这一点点粮食肯定会让许多饥饿的小朋友得到营养活下去”。我说：“啊!好的妈妈，我现在就把这些吃完”。我顿时醒悟了，珍惜粮食应该从一粒米，一口菜做起，积小成为大成，一个人节约一粒米，那么十三亿人就可以节约许多粮食，就可以挽救许多饥饿的人!

节约粮食，从我做起!提倡光盘行动，节约一点、一滴、一粒的粮食，不要让粮食浪费，争当节约小公民!

做一件事，必须要先去想，再去做，如果你连后果也不想想，那么你就会完蛋。――题记

“哇哇哇，不好了！救命啊！我可不会游泳啊！”我大声喊叫着，甚至哭出了声音，事情是这样的……

今年暑假，我们一家人去海边玩，我们开心极了！到了海边，我们先在沙滩上捉了螃蟹。可是，由于我的鞋太脏了，嘚瑟的我跑到了海里去洗鞋。“不要去，太危险了，浪太大了，不要去。”爸爸妈妈大声说着。可是，我怎么就那么笨呢？竟然还对爸爸妈妈说：“没关系的，我会把我的鞋洗干净的，不会让‘敌人’再次冲进我的‘地盘’。”我走向海中，爸爸妈妈大喊着，仿佛我要自杀似的。其实，我也有些害怕，但是，我一直在鼓舞着自己：“没事的，不就是洗鞋吗？洗一洗就回来了，不要害怕。”我为自己打气。

我正要洗鞋，那气势庞大的“队伍”向我冲来。“啊”我三步并作两步往岸上冲去，可是，太迟了，“啊”我大叫了一声，最后，只有一个结果，我被卷进了浪里。“啊！不好了，爸妈快救我。”我一边挣扎一边哀求道，一旁的大人见大事不妙了，爸爸一边在耳抓挠腮，一边自言自语道：“怎么办？怎么办？”妈妈大声训斥爸爸：“快救人啊！还在那说啥呢？”“爸爸，这水好咸，救我。”我有气无力的说，爸爸一口气冲进了海里，把我从海里“捞”出来，说：“你个死丫头，鞋呢？”我奄奄一息地说道：“不知道。”妈妈说：“丢啦！以后长点记性啊！”我点了点头。

等我爬起来的时候，脑子里冒出了一句话：“做任何事时，必须要想结果，如果不听取劝告，后果将不堪设想。”

Li Xiaohu spent too much time playing computer games and he fell behind

others. As a good/close friend of his， I must do something to help him.

First， I think it’s very important for him to learn lessons well. He should

spend most of his time on his study instead of computer games.

Secondly， I must tell him that playing computer games too much is bad for

his health， especially for his eyes. So he must give it up. I can play more

sports with him after school. Maybe he will become more interested in sports

than computer games. And then I‘ll ask him to concentrate more on his study. Of

course， I will try my best to help him with all his subjects. I think I can do

it in many fun ways and let him find much fun in studying. At the same time，

I’ll ask both his parents and our teachers to help him， too. If I try these， Im

sure he will make great progress soon.
