Not far away, a pair of silver - haired old couple helped each other, slowly sitting on their seats and talking in a small voice. On the other side, a few middle school students were laughing loudly. A tour guide, holding a small flag, is talking to the tourists of the tour group... "Why?" Suddenly, a sound of childish sound attracted me, I looked back, a chubby little girl sat on her mothers lap, "why together and we cant go out and play dad?" The little girl innocent eyes full of doubts, long eyelashes glitter, mother lovingly stroked the girls head, said softly: "your father is a traffic policeman, in order to ensure the safe travel, to the holidays will be more busy, can not go out to play with us." The little girl Sidongfeidong nodded, nestled in her mothers arms.

It is their hard work that makes our trip safer and more convenient.

太好了，太好了！我终于盼来了国庆节长假，总算可以放松放松了，我和爸爸妈妈早就约好了国庆节期间坐火车去外地旅游。到了这一天，我早早地起了床，一切准备就绪后，我们全家出发了。到达火车站前广场时，那里早已是人山人海，我们随着川流不息的人群挤进了火车站。

走进候车大厅，这里更是人声鼎沸，热闹非凡，我们好不容易才找到空位坐了下来，我喝了口水，休息了一会儿，眼睛开始不安分地四处打量起来。不远处，一对满头银发的老夫妻互相搀扶着，慢慢地坐到座位上，小声地交谈着。另一边，几名中学生在大声地说笑着。一位导游举着小旗子，正在向旅行团的游客们说着什么……。“为什么？”突然，一声稚嫩的童音吸引了我，我回头一看，一个胖乎乎的小女孩儿坐在妈妈腿上，“为什么爸爸不能和我们一起出去玩而呢？”小女孩儿天真无邪的大眼睛充满了疑惑，长长的睫毛忽闪着，妈妈爱怜地抚摸着小女孩儿的头，轻声说道：“你爸爸是一名交通警察，为了保证大家的出行安全，到了节假日会更加忙碌，就不能陪咱们出去玩儿了。”小女孩儿似懂非懂地点点头，依偎在妈妈的怀里。我静静地听着，目光不觉落在了远处不时闪现的忙碌的身影上，清洁工人正在仔细认真地打扫地面，擦拭桌椅，警察叔叔正在四处巡逻，警惕地注视着四周的情况，车站服务人员面带微笑，耐心地解答着旅客的疑问。正是他们的辛勤工作，使我们的出行更加安全、便捷。

这一幅幅画面，都被我深深地牢记在心中，当我们和家人一起欢度国庆假期时，是否想过，我们拥有的这份快乐，需要多少人为之工作，为之付出，当我们和家人欢聚一堂时，是否想过，又有多少人还要坚持工作，不能和家人团圆呢？这些可敬的人啊，让我真诚地说一声：“谢谢您们！”

今天是农历八月十五，是中国的传统佳节之一的中秋节。

中秋节是亲人团聚·吃月饼的日子，于是我和妈妈去买月饼准备晚上给姥姥送去。在月饼摊上我看见各种各样的月饼，有草莓味·有哈密瓜味……我们买的是蓝莓口味，圆圆的，表示一家团圆·幸福美满的意思。

到了姥姥家，我们发现姐姐·舅舅·舅妈也来了，我们休息了一会，开始吃月饼了，妈妈拿出了月饼，每人一个，我急忙咬了一口，甜甜的·酸酸的，真好吃啊!我抬头望着天空，虽然今年没有皎洁的月光，但是我还是想起了((嫦娥奔月))的故事：在八月十五那天嫦娥偷吃了仙丹，升上了广寒宫，当上了广寒宫之主，就在我浮想翩翩的时候，姐姐给我出了一道脑筋急转弯：什么米不能吃?我想了想说：“是生米。”姐姐说：“恭喜你答错了，答案是分米·厘米·千米·毫米。”我一笑而之。我们的话被姥爷听见了说：“我也给你们猜个谜语：明天日全食(打一字)。”我们说：“是月字。”姥爷说对了，我再给你们猜一个：拘水月在手(打一成语)。姐姐说：“不知道!”姥爷问我，我说：“是月亮!”姥爷说：“错了，答案是掌上明珠，你们就是我的掌上明珠呀!”

今年的中秋节真快乐呀!

[我的学习初中英语作文

一、积累词汇

初中学生在阅读理解方面最大的障碍就是词汇量的缺乏，而扩大词汇量绝非死记硬背就能做到。最有效的方法就是大量接触各种不同体裁的英语文章，利用“在句中记，在文中记”的方法来积累词汇。因此我们指导学生依据英语报刊的特点，按栏目、话题、题材、体裁归类收集常用词，将出现频率较高的常用词汇积累到单词本子上，查字典写例句，初步学会这些单词的运用，放在身边，利用零散时间反复记忆，加强印象。还要求学生给出与单词有关的同义、近义、反义和词形相似的词，使词汇量得到最大限度的复现。如：反义词appear/disappear， crowded/uncrowded，polite/impolite/rude.词形相似的词except/expect，chance/change/challenge.这样，通过大量的词汇练习不仅仅能有效地积累词汇，还为组句打下了基础，同时还能训练学生的发散性思维和总结、归纳、比较的能力，为学生正确使用词句奠定了良好的基础。

二、活用词句

当学生有了一定的词汇量的时候，教师在教学中可以采用先易后难的方法，让学生用简单的词组成句子，再以句子的构成作为学生进行写作训练的起点，引导学生从对单个句型的掌握，逐渐过渡到多种句型的混用，直到学生能连贯自如地表达思想。一句多译，句型转换，是书面表达能力的关键。总的来说，教师在平时的教学中要将日常生活中经常出现的词、句作为材料让学生训练，使学生乐于接受，轻松完成，享受成功感。

例如：以study为中心组成句子。

I study in No.3 Middle School.I study very hard.My sister studies in the same school.But she studies harder than me.等等。

三、创设情景

例如，学生举行运动会，开“生日聚会”，以“A sports meeting”和“My birthday party”为语境，让学生在活动中仔细观察，亲身体验，然后试着用自己所学的语言知识，表达“A sports meeting”和“My birthday party”这些话题。在我们新教材的每个单元中，都设有写作训练题，它们用英语设置语境，用英语提示内容，这些写的练习，与我们平时用汉语给语境、用英语完成段落的方式相比，更为理想。当然，教师在设立语境话题时要与学生的水平和能力相适应，应从简到难，从浅到深进行。否则，学生会无从下笔，久而久之，他们会失去信心。

四、注重听、说和阅读的培养

在英语写作中听、说、读、写应同步发展。写作是一种语言输出形式，只有语言输入大于语言输出，语言输出才有可能。英语写作训练作为英语综合能力训练之一，是与英语的听说读不可分割的，它们是相互影响、相互作用的有机统一体，必须注重听、说、读、写能力的同步发展。

比如笔者实施多年的“五分钟课前演讲”：在上正课前五分钟里，要学生用英语讲述一个故事(积累素材);或者课前朗读一篇短小精 的文章，让大家课后模仿;或者就大家平时关心的话题写一个发言稿或演讲稿进行课前发言;或者让学生自立主题，围绕自己喜欢的主题写一段话。这种课前训练取得了很好的效果。

五、写英文日记

要养成记英语日记勤练笔的习惯。经常用英语记日记等于天天在练笔，这无疑是提高英语写作行之有效的好办法。在记日记时，不要总是用简单句，要有意识地用一些好的词组、句型和复合句等，使文句更优美生动。对一些所给情景写的文章，写好后要对照一些范文，找出差距，然后再去练习，不仅能促使学生及时巩固所学的知识，还能锻炼他们的恒心和学习毅力，同时对提高英语作文也是很有帮助的。只有这样，学生才能通过多练习提高英语写作水平。

总之，学生英语写作水平的提高不是一朝一夕的事，英语写作能力培养的训练方法也是多方面的，因此需要我们英语教师在教学工作中不断探索、不断研究，总结出一些更富有创新活力的英语写作方法。鼓励学生平时要多积累语素材，要求他们坚持长期写作训练，做到善于思考、勤于训练、勇于探究，充分发挥学生的潜力。久而久之，学生的写作水平就会有大幅度的提高。

One Sunday my mother (Mother) had (made) me take my little young brother to the a trip to the country. She bade me take good care of him.

While we were walking along the road, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently. We saw the beautiful flowers smile (smiling) at us and heard the birds sing (singing) their sweet songs on the trees. The scenery was indeed very pretty (beautiful)。

When we felt tired, we returned home. We saw Mother (our mother) wait (waiting) for us at the door.

有一个星期日，我母亲叫我带小弟弟去乡村游历。她吩咐我要好好照料他。

当我们沿着道路行走的时候，太阳灿烂地照耀着，微风轻轻地吹着。我们看见美丽的花儿对我们微笑着，并听见鸟儿在树上唱着悦耳的歌曲，风景实十分美丽。

“Score is not equal to knowledge,” my head teacher always keeps telling me this, because he wants us to master all the knowledge we need to understand. I do not put his word in mind, because in my heart, score comes the first.

One day, chemistry teacher taught us some knowledge and then asked us to finish a paper test.

Whoever passed the text can do the experiment. I got a high mark by guessing.

I was very happy, but tragedy happened. I made a small explosion by not mastering the knowledge. I was scared and finally understood the sentence,” Score is not Equal to Knowledge.”

“分数并不等于知识，”班主任对我说，因为他希望我们能够掌握所有需要了解的知识。我并没有把他的话放心上，因为我觉得分数是最重要的。有一天，老师教了我们一些知识，然后就让我们考试。只要通过了考试才能去做实验。我瞎猜猜得了很高分。我很高兴，但是悲剧也就发生了。因为知识不牢固而导致了一个小爆炸。我被吓到了，也终于明白了那句话，“分数并不等于知识。”

Time flies, imperceptibly, you through the junior middle school three years of study and life. For three years, you are in the campus, left footprints, flying ideal, sweat, take away the maturity, left back memories. A few days ago, in my mind, often will save you present at work; crazy slapstick laughter; Art Festival in the song; the stadium endeavoring figure;

Time is a one-way road, you can not get the return ticket. But some of the scenery will not fade with time, some faces will not fade with time, some beliefs do not brown with time. Let all the sentimentally attached, depressed and repentant, hope and longing, become your eternal good memories!

"The blue cloud has a road to always have to have, life can have a few times to fight, at this time do not beat when to fight!" Anguish and resentment are not the main melody of youth, but struggle and struggle is the aria of life. Here, I hope that every one of you is successful in the mid-term exam.

After two days, you will go all out to accumulate steadily, ideal carrying luggage, with three years of travel over land and water, like a pilgrim, accept, dream ideal. Please remember: no matter where you are, people where the Maozhou middle school campus, there must be your teacher, your mentees, for you silently bless, pray silently, you can often come home to see more hope.

Junior high school, is a destination, more a starting point. I wish you more progress and better results in the coming time. For the alma mater.

children should be loved

most of us own a simple and good life. city born and city bred, we sometimes imagine the idyllic pastoral scene such as the friendly people, the clean atmosphere, the closeness to nature and the gentle pace of living. in face, everything has its pros and cons. the other side of picture is that leftover children have become a heavy topic nowadays, because most parents of these children consider that to feed their children well and to let them grow up health and safe in body are the most important task.however, as a matter of fact, in addition to provide the basic needs for their children, parents should pay more attention to their childrens psychological needs and their education.

for one thing, parents who cannot accompany their children often need to pay more attention to their childrens psychological needs.therefore, it seems to me that government can set up a parents school for these children on holidays and organize" hand-in-hand" activity to call on more people to help them. we can also raise money to donate to these children. as the song says:"if everyone gives their love, the world will be better." its very important for us to pay more attention to these children if we want to build a harmonious society.

for another, education of leftover children is also quite important. as the saying goes, “knowledge can change our fate”, education is an effective way to change the future of those children. in order to make those leftover children grow up in health, therefore, we need to show more concern about their psychological needs and their education.

in my view, leftover children should be encouraged to live with or near their parents, which is very helpful for them to be loved and concerned, they also can have a simple and good life.

With the improvement of living conditions, more and more people can live

longer. However, many old people always suffer from loneliness, which is one of

the major problems in today’s society. To make the old people live better, some

good advice must be followed. Firstly, the young should spare more time to talk

and communicate with their parents, so as to relieve their loneliness. Secondly,

the old ought to understand the work pressure and family burden of the young.

Furthermore, the society are supposed to organize more activities for the old,

so that they can make more friends and have more joys and happiness in their

life.

the mid-autumn or moon festival is one rich in poetic(诗意的) significance. ancient legends(古代的传说) that became interwoven with this festival‘s celebration further contribute to the warm regard in which it has always been held by the chinese people. according to the lunar calendar(农历)， the seventh， eighth， and ninth months constitute the autumn season. mid-autumn festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month， precisely in the middle of this season， when the heat of the summer has given way to cool autumn weather， marked by blue skies and gentle breezes. on this day the moon is at its greatest distance from the earth; at no other time is it so luminous. then， as the chinese say， “the moon is perfectly round.” in the villages the heavy work involved in the summer harvest has already been completed but the autumn harvest has not yet arrived.

the actual origins of the mid-autumn festival are still very unclear. the earliest records are from the time of the great han dynasty emperor wu di (156-87 b.c.)， who initiated celebrations lasting three days， including banquets and “viewing the moon” evenings on the toad terrace. we know that people during the jin dynasty (265-420 a.d.) continued the custom of mid-autumn festival celebrations， and similar accounts have come down to us from the time of the tang dynasty. during the ming dynasty (1368-1644) houses and gardens were decorated with numerous lanterns and the sound of gongs and drums filled the air.(qiewo.com)

moon cakes came on sale shortly before festival time. in the past， one could get some cakes shaped like pagodas， others like a horse and rider， fish or animals. still others were decorated with the images of rabbits， flowers， or goddesses. there were a myriad of different fillings available： sugar， melon seeds， almonds， orange peel， sweetened cassia blossom， or bits of ham and preserved beef. the cakes are of the northern and southern styles， but the latter (also called guangdong-style) are the most popular and are available throughout the country.

the round shape of cakes just symbolizes not only the moon but also the unity of the family. therefore the mid-autumn festival is actually a day for family reunion.
