篇1:初中一年级自我介绍
全文共 707 字
+ 加入清单我是一个活泼开朗的女孩,我的名字叫,看了这个名字,可能有的人会认为我是一个男孩子,其实我是一个性格比较外向的女孩子。因为我爸爸姓陈,又是硕士,所以全家人都希望我能够像爸爸那样也是硕士。
我有一头乌黑发亮的头发,喜欢梳一把马尾巴。我有一个椭圆形的脸蛋,像一小鸡蛋,在那椭圆形的脸上,长着一双又大又灵的眼睛,眼睛里的黑眼珠,像一个黑葡萄。我的鼻子高高的,嘴巴红红的,一说起话来就没完没了,我真喜欢妈妈给我的这张脸。我今年十二岁了,是家里的独生子,也是家里的“掌上明珠”,爸爸、妈妈平时都爱宠着我。
我在班上的学习虽然谈不上数一数二,却是小有名气,我的人缘也很好,班上有一大半的同学都是我的好朋友,其中还有我的“知心朋友”。我不仅朋友多,而且兴趣爱好也多的不得了,有:“画画、玩电脑、游泳、弹钢琴、看书……。我最喜欢看书了。我很小的时候,爸爸就给我买了许多的识字手册,还经常给我读一些故事书,可以说,我的童年就是在书海中度过的。随着我年龄的增长,我家的书也越来越多,现在我家就象一座小图书馆,到处都是书,我自己的书更是多得数不胜数,整整放了两个柜子。虽然我平时一向很节约,但是对买书却毫不吝啬,只要是我喜欢实用的书,而且不是很贵,我一定会马上买下来。有时候我遇到一本好书,又因为价格太贵而不能买,我一定会翻来覆去地看好几遍才甘心,所以每次我一进书店,都要看上大半天。高尔基曾经说过:“书是人类进步的阶梯”。而我也坚信:好书能伴我一生。我常常因为看书而误了其他的事情,因此爸爸、妈妈经常开导我说:“看书要学会适而可止”。为此有时我也很伤脑筋,想来想去,我下定决心,以后一定要学会克制、克制再克制!
这就是我,一个爱读书的小女孩。

我有一个形影不离的朋友,他无时无刻的陪伴着我,和我在一起玩耍、讨论。她,就是我最要好的朋友—金海妮。
金海妮长得胖乎乎的,看似一个大圆球;一双又黑又亮的大眼睛,就想两颗水灵灵的大葡萄;身上黄色的衬衫,就像田地里那金灿灿的油菜花……
别看金海妮长得胖胖的,她热爱溜冰,可是个溜冰高手呢!就拿那天的事来说吧!那天,烈日当空。我们早早的来到了溜冰练习场,换上了溜冰鞋,准备开始练习溜冰。我刚要溜,只见金海妮一把拦住我,说:“让我先来吧!”我还没来得及回答她,她就已经开始溜起来了。只见她先从斜坡上倒溜下来,再来个180度大旋转,在单脚直行,然后在踮脚溜一段,最后一只脚踮起来,原地旋转一会儿。再配上舞姿,简直是天衣无缝!我拍手叫好,她见了就高傲的朝我笑了一笑……
金海妮也是一个逛街狂。一逛能逛上五六个小时呢!就说说那一次吧!那一次,我十分悠闲,突然,金海妮不知从哪窜了出来,说:“谈静,咱们去逛街吧!”我一听,兴奋极了,一蹦三尺高,说:“好啊!”结果呢,逛了5个小时,只见我累得气喘吁吁,上气不接下气,可在看看金海妮,她却一点儿也不累,反而比平时精神。哎,早知如此,何必当初呢?在知道我就不答应她逛街了。从这点可以看出,她很热爱逛街。
虽然她生活在外国,很少来中国,但我永远也不会忘了她的!因为朋友,是人生中必不可少的东西!

他,浓浓的眉毛下衬托着一双炯炯有神的眼睛,高高的鼻子,一身白净的皮肤,他就是我的好朋友——业发,我和业发认识已经有一年多了,他给我带来欢乐,他是我学习上最大的对手。他勤学好问、尊敬师长、待人友好,是学生们的榜样。因为他,我得更努力的学习,因为我们的目标相同,都是夺取全年级第一。()每次大考,要不是我第一,就是他第一(目前来说,我夺取的第一比他多点)。如果他没考好,他肯定会经验,努力学习,改进自己的不足之处,使自己更优秀。他从来不会因为的一次失败而放弃,相反,他会找出原因,更加努力的学习,我不得不也加把劲,努力学习。记得有一次,我和他说:“业发,我们要考同一所高中,到高中的学校我们继续竞争,好吗?”他说:“好啊!”看样子,我们的战争是很难停止的,相反战争会越来越激烈。但我们不象其他人那样,反目成仇,相反我们还是很好的朋友呢,在学习上,我有不懂的地方,我会去问他,他也很乐意,他会详细的和我讲解,他有不懂的题,我也会讲给他听。因为有和业发竞争的压力,我越来越坚强,我要把压力变为动力,越来越努力的学习,努力的去和业发争第一。有时我没有考好,他会鼓励我,要我努力,和他继续竞争。有了业发的鼓励,加上我自己的不服输的性格,我又和业发开始竞争了,这就是业发给我带来的学习动力,在这,我要好好的对业发说:“谢谢你!我一定会奉陪到底!”
为什么会给我带来欢乐呢?因为我们不仅仅是学习上的对手还是很要好的朋友,玩伴呢!有时,没事时他会叫上几个好朋友来和我一起玩,打球。这时,我也会叫上几个好朋友来,一起玩。我们几个在一起总玩得很开心。这样,业发他们、我和我的朋友们既锻炼了身体也玩得开心。因为我们是同学,我们在一起总是很谈得来,可以谈学习、谈理想……这些都是业发给我带来的欢乐。

她是谁?你看,她个子不高不矮,身子瘦瘦的,皮肤白白的。圆圆的脑袋上扎着一对羊角辫。秀秀气气的脸蛋上,淡淡的眉毛下,有一双亮晶晶的眼睛。一张扁扁的嘴巴像小鸭嘴,嘴里有二排又白又齐的牙齿。身上穿着五颜六色的童服,脖子上系着一条红领巾。她就是我的好朋友——文荪琳。
文荪琳可关心我了。记得上学的第一天,晴空万里。在上音乐课前,我们下楼去升旗。大家直奔楼梯,挤成一堆,挤呀挤,啊!不好了!我摔倒了,摔疼了腿。我只好坐在楼梯上“哇哇”直叫。
正在这时,我的好朋友文荪琳出现了,她奋不顾身地跑过来,亲切地对我说:“你没事吧?”
我难过的说:“我在下楼的时候摔了一跤,这可疼死我了!”
文荪琳着急地问:“那你现在还疼吗?”
我哭着说:“当然疼了!”
听我说完,文荪琳立刻伸出双手,轻轻地摸了摸我的伤口,在她的帮助下,我勉强地站了起来,对她说:“我们两个一起去操场升旗吧?
文荪琳就扶我,一瘸一拐的去升旗。我感激的对文荪琳说:“文荪琳,你对我真好,谢谢你今天对我的帮助。文荪琳高兴地说:“你没事就好,是朋友就应该相互帮助,你说对吗?”我高兴地点了点头文荪琳呀文荪琳,你对我这么关爱,你真是我的好朋友啊!希望我们永远都是好朋友,好吗?我的朋友作文400字我的朋友作文500字我的朋友作文

篇11:爱是什么初中一年级作文
全文共 417 字
+ 加入清单爱是世间最美好的东西,世界因有爱而伟大,世界因有爱而温馨,世界因为爱而温暖。正如那首歌唱的“人人只要献出一点爱,世界将变成美好的人间。”
爱是奉献。在5.12的那一天,四川发生了八级地震,当四面八方的人们知道的时候,都全力奉献了自己的爱,当灾区人民收到我们的爱才会感到温暖。一方有难,八方支援,我相信我们所有人会用爱堆起的爱帮助灾区人们共度难关。
爱是助人。在我一次上学的路上,我看到两个人在吵架,一个卖菜的和一个买菜的。有一个男人看见了,快速走上前去劝阻,但那个卖菜的人曾多次说:“不管你的事。”并把那个好心劝架的男人推开,但是那个男人还是继续劝阻,在那个男人和群人的帮助下,卖菜的和买菜的人终于和好了。
爱是和睦。人与人之间只有和睦相处才会有爱,当我在教室和同学共同上课时我感受到了爱,我和家人一起看电视时,我感到了爱,我和同伴一起玩耍时我也感受到了爱。所以和睦中产生了爱,爱中产生了和睦。
爱让人温暖,爱也让人感动。爱真是个伟大的东西!
篇12:金色的秋天初中一年级作文
全文共 643 字
+ 加入清单秋天,是一个美丽的季节,也是一年中最繁忙的季节。秋天到了,大地换上了金黄色的新装,人们开始进入农忙,也开始收获他们劳动的成果,享受丰收的喜悦。
看,那田间小路上车来车往,热闹非凡。运玉米的,拉高梁的,装豆子的,一辆辆运粮车,满载着丰收的喜悦。来来往往,拉胶轮车的马儿,撒着欢奔跑着,向获得丰收喜悦的人们道喜。就连小毛驴也甩开了四蹄,拉着它的“驴吉普”运送着丰收的喜悦……
瞧,沉甸甸的谷穗正在场里睡大觉,它们一个挨一个,有的甚至重叠在一起,显得十分拥挤。金黄的大豆圆溜溜的,被太阳一嗮,发出耀眼的光芒。胖乎乎的花生正凑在一起说着悄悄话呢。带皮的玉米则被人们扔在一边,它穿着雪白的连衣裙“躺”在那里,显得很不高兴。剥出的玉米一排排地垛在场院边上,使人眼花缭乱。
听,田野里传来了拖拉机“突突”的欢叫声,好像在说:“丰收了,丰收了。”赶车的老大爷把马鞭甩得“啪啪”响,那清脆的鞭声在空中回荡,回荡。姑娘和小伙子们放声歌唱,这个唱《九月九》,那个唱《牛百岁》,歌声、笑声、鞭声、拖拉机声混合在一起,组成了“秋收变奏曲”,传进了每个人的心窝里。
看着这一幕喜人的景象,望着这一堆堆丰收的硕果,我的眼睛渐渐模糊了,一辆辆车上好像装的不是粮食,而是一车车电视机,电冰箱……它们满面春风地走进了千家万户。场院里那一堆堆玉米、花生,仿佛变成了一张张笑脸。金秋的田野里好像传来了人们丰收的歌唱声,他们正在尽情地唱着:“社会主义好,社会主义好……”
啊,金色的秋天,你给人们送来了无限欢乐。

篇16:我的数学老师初中一年级作文
全文共 1062 字
+ 加入清单在我的脑海里时时会出现这样一副面孔:胖胖的脸,小小的眼睛,高高的鼻梁上架着一副眼镜,两鬓已被岁月染得花白。呵,典型的古板老头儿形象,这也许是同学们共同的第一印象。他,就是我的数学老师。
至今我都忘不了和他第一次见面的情景。那天,预备铃响了,同学们的目光不约而同地注视着教室门口的一位老师,一位即将给我们上课的数学老师。上课铃一响,这表情严肃的老头儿大步走上讲台,开始做起了自我介绍:“本人姓邢,名字嘛,叫老师。”“这是什么名字?”大家小声议论着,有几个同学还忍不住笑出了声。而在这笑声中,邢老师开始上起了新课。瞧,多么风趣幽默的开端啊!
于是,从这一节课开始,我们的数学课上就洋溢着笑声。
邢老师每上一节数学课,课前几分钟,他都要对上节课所学的知识进行复习提问。这虽然是老规矩了,可有一部分同学课前仍不作准备,等到老师要提问了才慌忙去翻书。这时,邢老师看到同学们慌神的样子,眯着眼睛说道:“书这东西呀,可真不好评价。如果家长拿着它要你看,要你记,你们一定会认为它是令人可恶的;当我提问的时候啊,你们就把它当成非常可爱的了。我建议从今以后,大家要时时刻刻都把它看成可爱的,那回答问题时就不必再麻烦这可爱的它了。”这一连串的“可爱”,逗得我们笑声不断。可就在这一片笑声中,我们得到了知识,得到了教诲,也得到了启迪。
一次数学单元测试后,邢老师一边讲评试卷一边风趣地说:“现在的歌曲都很浪漫,我觉得电视剧《霍元甲》里的主题歌似乎很切合我班部分同学的实际,不是吗?上课时--昏睡百年,考试时--睁开眼吧,小心看吧,下课时--高声叫吧,放声叫吧......”话音未落,那跑了调的歌声已把我们笑得直不起腰。就在这笑声中,同学们找到了考试低分的原因,倍感惭愧。
每当同学们大笑之时,邢老师总是眯着小眼睛微笑着望着我们这群孩子,默不作声, 仿佛为自己的杰作感到得意。
在我们班里,我可是个出了名的多动儿,上课时手脚比司机还忙,总是爱做小动作,这缺点自读书以来,不知挨过多少批评,受过多少教育,可我就是改不掉。没想到是邢老师风趣幽默、有声有色的数学课,吸引了我的注意力,我开始变得爱听讲了,爱答问,也爱提问了。从那时候起,我渐渐爱上了数学。如今,我不光改掉了好动的毛病,还当上了数学科代表呢!
可是,再过两个月小学数学便要学完了,我们也将小学毕业了,我们就得离开母校,离开邢老师。我们将是多么的不舍啊!我们多想继续听他上的数学课,看他幽默的表情,听他风趣的话语。我们将会把他课堂上带来的笑声,谈笑中留下的启迪,当成记忆中的珍宝。
