中考英语作文：Let’s Do Sports（实用19篇）

Nowadays, there is a growing focus on health care. People are pursuing a

healthy lifestyle. A healthy diet is one of the most important parts of it. As

the saying goes, bread is the staff of life, eating healthily and deliciously is

the goal we pursue. From my point of view, in order to build healthy eating

habits, we should eat more vegetables and less fat and sugar. Vegetable is the

best source of s vitamin, because vegetables are rich in vitamins. Among them,

vitamin C and vitamin A are the most important. Too much fat and sugar can lead

to obesity, which is harmful to health. Besides, eating more fruits and drinking

more water is of great help.

Do your teachers still use traditional techniques to teach you nowadays? A

revol- ution in teaching techniques is required now. In the past, we just took

it for granted that a teacher s aim was to teach the students all that he knew

and solve all the problems for them. Therefore, students could mot judge things

on their own under this circumstance. Thus students gradually lost the ability

to learn by themselves. In addition, they were only equipped with the knowledge

that were taught in class and made the same judgement upon every problem which

might crop up. Of course, they would find their knowledge not enough to solve

practical problems.

So it is time to change the teaching method. A teacher s goal is to help

the students develop not only the ability to learn by themselves but the skills

to make judgements on every aspect on their own. It s not necessary for the

students to turn to teachers for help while meeting with difficulties. The first

thing is to develop the students abilities to make sound judgements upon any

problem and overcome difficulties.

All in all, the aim of teaching is to liberate, but mot to fetter the

students innate powers of making sound judgements.

Dear Linda，

Im very glad that youll come to China to watch the Olympic Games. I know it isnt easy to learn a foreign language，but I have some ideas that may help. Firstly，its very important to listen to the teacher carefully in class and make some notes so that you can go over your lessons later. Secondly，try to catch every chance to practice speaking，both in and out of class. Dont be afraid of making mistakes. Then try to listen and read more in Chinese. Whats more， youd better plan your time well and study it regularly every day。

Above all，you should be confident in yourself and dont give up whenever you meet with difficulties. Im sure you will succeed through your hard work。

Best wishes and look forward to meeting you in China.

Throughout history man has changed his physical environment in order to

improve his way of life。 With the tools of technology he has altered many

physical features of the earth。 He has transformed woodlands and prairies into

farms and made lakes and reserviors out of rivers for irrigation purposes or

hydroelectric power。 Man has also modified the face of the earth by draining

marshes and cutting through mountains to build roads and railways。

However， mans changes to the physical environment have not always had

beneficial results。 Today， pollution of the air and water is an increasing

danger to the health of the planet。 Each day thousands of tons of gases e out of

the exhausts of motor vehicles。 Smoke from factories pollutes the air of

industrialized areas and the surrounding areas of the countryside。 The pollution

of water is equally harmful。 The whole ecological balance of the sea is being

changed and industrial wastes have already made many rivers lifeless。

Now environmental protection is more pressing than ever before。 As we know，

massive destruction of environment has brought about negative effects and even

poses a great threat to mans existence。 Indifference to these problems will

mean mitting suicide。 Therefore， effective measures should be taken and laws

passed to conserve environment。 Otherwise，man is certain to suffer from the

serious consequences caused by this lack of care for his living

surroundings。

The Culture of China is home to one of the worlds oldest and most complex

civilizations. China boasts a history rich in over 5,000 years of artistic,

philosophical, political, and scientific advancement. Though regional

differences provide a sense of diversity, commonalities in language and religion

connect a culture distinguished by such significant contributions such as

Confucianism and Taoism. Confucianism was the official philosophy throughout

most of Imperial Chinas history and strongly influenced other countries in East

Asia. Mastery of Confucian texts provided the primary criterion for entry into

the imperial bureaucracy.

With the rise of Western economic and military power beginning in the

mid-19th century, Western systems of social and political organization gained

adherents in China. Some of these would-be reformers rejected Chinas cultural

legacy, while others sought to combine the strengths of Chinese and Western

cultures.

China is a unified nation consisting of many different ethnic groups.

Fifty-six different ethnic groups make up the great Chinese national family.

Because the Han people accounts for more than ninety percent of Chinas

population, the remaining fifty-five groups are generally referred to as "ethnic

minorities." Next to the majority Han, the Mongolian, Hui, Tibetan, and Uygur

peoples comprise the largest ethnic groups. Although Chinas ethnic minorities

do not account for a large portion of the population, they are distributed over

a vast area, residing in every corner of China.

Particularly since the implementation of Chinas opening and reform policy,

the central government has increased investment in minority areas and

accelerated their opening to the outside world. This has resulted in an upsurge

of economic development in these areas. Each of Chinas ethnic minority groups

possesses a distinctive culture. The Chinese government respects minority

customs, and works to preserve, study, and collate the cultural artifacts of

Chinas ethnic minority groups. The government vigorously supports the

development of minority culture and the training of minority cultural workers,

and fosters the development of traditional minority medicine.

The relation among Chinas ethnic groups can be described as "overall

integration, local concentration, mutual interaction." Concentrations of ethnic

minorities reside within predominantly Han areas, and the Han people also reside

in minority areas, indicating that there has been extensive exchanges among

Chinas ethnic groups since ancient times. With the development of the market

economy, interaction among ethnic groups has become even more active in the

areas of government, economics, culture, daily life, and marriage. Linked by

interdependence, mutual assistance, and joint development, their common goals

and interests creating a deep sense of solidarity, Chinas ethnic groups

resemble a great national family, together building Chinese civilization.

You can take away our money, house, car, or even our clothes and we can survive. But if our health was taken away, we would surely die. That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly.

In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like French fries or cookies. I also eat little meat. I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruit which are full of vitamins.Taking exercise every day helps us build a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy.Whats more, I think friends are an important part of ones health. Many studies show that people with a wide range of social contacts get sick less than those who dont. I always feel better when I am with friends than when I am alone. When I am with my friends, I always laugh. Laughing is also an important part of health. I like to laugh with my friends.

By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper weight and keep healthy.

I think a strong will is necessary if we want to keep healthy.

郑伟：做盲人朋友的“贴心人”

郑伟，是一位光影故事的讲述者。从20xx年开始，他在天津开办免费公益影院——“心目影院”。在这里，志愿者为视障人士讲解影片，每月一次，坚持不懈。“心目影院”通过语言描述电影中画面信息部分，弥补了视觉障碍带来的信息缺失。7年来，“心目影院”文化志愿者团队已有180多名成员，服务视障人士超2万人次。郑伟常说的口头禅是：我奉献，我快乐。

为了能将每一个细节、每一个场景都讲给盲人朋友听，郑伟提前做了充分的准备。由于是同步讲解电影，对白之外的一切需要他来传递。只要对白一停止，他马上抓住这个空隙告诉大家人物的表情、动作、甚至周围环境的变化。只有说得越详细，他们才能越接近“看到”电影。在郑伟绘声绘色的讲解下，大家都听得入了迷。再加上专门为活动配置的专业音响所带来的完美听觉效果，让现场的所有人都为之震撼。电影结束了，大家依然不肯离去，有位盲人拉着他的手激动地说：“我活了大半辈子，还是头一次有人从头至尾给我讲电影啊!”得到了盲人朋友的认可，郑伟心里是甜滋滋、暖融融的。

很多同学对英语书面表达的部分都感到头疼，一是因为突然拿到一个题目，脑中一片空白，写不出几个句子来，二是写好一篇文章，可是总是流于平淡，语言枯燥，不得老师喜爱，分数也一直不高不低，难以突破。建议同学们，第一类问题，是可以通过练习而补救的，第二类问题，则需要我们的积累和智慧了。

每一次考试或练习，我们的语文写作中总是时不时的会出现很多诗词，名言，他们或哲理，或抒情，或励志，或优美，总能让我们的文章读来津津有味，而且让老师觉得有文学感，甚至会因此而觉得有文采。同样是作文，我们为什么不能把这种思路搬到英文中来呢?答案当然是可以的，而且成功的例子也不少。

在英文的写作当中，运用名言警句这样的潜规则也是存在的。根据目前的要求，一篇英文作文篇幅在100词以上，这样的长度相对于语文作文来说自然是很简单了，但是对于高考水平的英语写作来说，是完全有空间在其中运用名言警句的，只要我们用的合适，就会取得意想不到的效果。

那么，我们如何善用这些名言警句呢?

第一，积累是必需的。英语是一门语言，语言是没有速成的，尤其是一些经典的词句，是需要我们一点一滴积累的。在收集名言警句的过程中，我们可以有目的性地收集。所谓目的性，是指在作文中，命题的形式和题材一般是固定的，那么针对这样的内容，我们就要尽量收集能用得上的名言警句，或者说，名言警句要对的上路子，这么做可能有一点功利，但咱们毕竟是应试，退一步说，这样收集的句子也不一定都是没有用的，所以，我们要首先找准方向，少走弯路。

第一类是哲理类的，这一类名言警句可以说是万精油，放之四海而皆准，几乎在每一篇作文中都能用到它们。比如说描写做家务活。我们就可以用上Just as the saying goes： It is never too late to learn!来说明学习做家务活的积极性。再比如以汶川地震为背景描写一个叫Lin Hao的小孩救出同学的事迹，我们就能用As we all know， where there is a life， there is a hope.或者where there is a will， there is a way来赞扬Lin Hao的精神品质等等，诸如此类的命题比比皆是，只要我们用得恰当，就一定能波的阅卷老师的青睐;

第二类是励志类的，这种语句在涉及到个人成长经历内容的文章中，可以发挥很大作用;

第三类是情感类的，表现家庭生活或者个人情感的内容能用到它。

[中考英语作文出色善用“潜规则”的方法

母亲节起源于美国。1906年5月9日，美国费城的安娜·贾薇丝的母亲不幸去世，她悲痛万分。在次年母亲逝世周年忌日，安娜小姐组织了追思母亲的活动，并鼓励他人也以类似方式来表达对各自慈母的感激之情。此后，她到处游说并向社会各界呼吁，号召设立母亲节。她的呼吁获得热烈响应。1913年5月10日，美国参众两院通过决议案，由威尔逊总统签署公告，决定每年5月的第二个星期日为母亲节。这一举措引起世界各国纷纷仿效，至1948年安娜谢世时，已有43个国家设立了母亲节。

However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it

hard names. It is not as bad as you are.

It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults in

paradise. Love your life, poor as it is.

You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a

poor-house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as

brightly as from the rich mans abode; the snow melts before its door as early

in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and

have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.

As important as Spring Festival .It is usually celebrated in September or

October. This festival is to celebrate the harvest and to enjoy the beautiful

moon light. To some extent, it is like Thanks Giving day in western countries.

On this day, people usually get together with their families and have a nice

meal.

After that, people always eat delicious moon cakes, and watch the moon. The

moon is always very round on that day, and makes people think of their relatives

and friends. It is a day of pleasure and happiness. Hope you have a wonderful

Mid Autumn festival!

Let’s Do Something to Save Our Environment

It is recently reported that some rivers and lakes have dried up in South China. A lot of fishes died. The bottoms of the rivers and lakes have become grass land. The water is becoming less and less because of the bad weather.

So everyone should do something to save our environment. First, we should save every drop of water, such as turning off the taps after using it and recycling the water. For example, we can water the plants and clean the rest room with our used water. Second, we should save energy, such as less turning on the lights and turning off the lights when we leave;Do more walking, more bicycling and less driving and so on. Third, we should ask our government to control the pollution from the factories.

Let’s act now from everything to save our environment. Don’t let our tears be the last drop of water in the world!

With the spread of the consciousness of environmental protection, the word

“low-carbon” has been very popular in life. We can find it in many aspects, such

as low-carbon products, low-carbon consumption, and low-carbon travel and so on.

Generally speaking, more and more people are advocating “low-carbon”

lifestyle.

As implied in the name, “low-carbon” lifestyle is a kind of new pattern of

lifestyle which aims to lowering the carbon dioxide emission in living as much

as possible. For example, some office workers are not proud of driving private

cars from work to home any more but pride themselves on riding or taking public

transportation. In addition, they advocate recycling water and saving energy as

much as they can.

As college students, we also make some contribution in our daily life to

reduce the emission of the carbon dioxide. For example, switch off the light

when leaving and save water. In addition, we should use our knowledge and action

to arouse others’ concern about the importance of lowering emission of carbon

dioxide and lead them to lead a “low-carbon” life.

Today was the first day of my new life. I looked at my new books and

Entering new school, I was curious about everything, new classrooms, new

teachers, new classmates etc. It would be a new start for each student. And what

I was worried about is that I had no friends here. I wondered if no liked to

play with me. Were the teachers strict with students?

I fell relaxed when the teacher asked me, What else could I help you,

freshman?". I found that the teachers were kind and polite, and the classmates

around me were friendly. While I was thinking about how to get on well with my

classmates, my desk mate showed me his favorite Ipad4s. He wanted to play with

me, but I didnt know how to play, so he taught me patiently, and we played

happily.

Worries have gone, and happiness is coming.
