初中英语作文我的一天带翻译（优秀20篇）

Winter is like your room, if you can clean it very well, you will like it, but if you throw things in a mess, you dont want to know, you must hate it. "Winter" is the same, you use a good attitude to look at it, you will definitely like me, step by step slowly falling in love with the "different winter".

I like winter, because only winter can make trees appear different styles. From spring and summer to autumn, leaves are always changing and changing. But winter can make trees become bare. I like to accompany my brother to practice football with my family in winter, not only to make my body warm, but also to give my brother an opportunity to practice more. There are also, in winter, I dont know if you have noticed that mosquitoes are missing a lot. At last, they can make me calm down and do well in homework. This is also a great benefit of winter. The last reason is my favorite, the family out to buy Hot pot material, in supermarkets to all of a sudden to the streams of people busily coming and going, in winter, many fewer people, do not have to queue for a check out, is really good, in the winter, the whole family sitting around the round table, each other help each other to resist the cold wind up, this feeling is only a winter feel, together with my family, so hot fireplace, warm atmosphere, in addition to "winter", any season cant taste good.

Anyway, there are also its shortcomings in winter. Of course, there are cold and cold currents that make the nose and water direct. They will make us want to hide in the quilt, but occasionally, this is not a bad thing. In a word, I like it in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and each season has its own characteristics, of which, winter is a very special one. But every trip to winter makes me feel different.

“冬季”就像你的房间，如果能整理的很干净，自己就会喜欢它；但如果你把东西丢的乱七八糟，那不用想也知道，你一定很讨厌它。“冬季”也是一样，你用好的心态去看待它，你绝对会如同我，一步一步的慢慢爱上那“不一样的冬季”。

我喜欢冬季，因为只有冬季，能使树木出现不一样的风格，从春天、夏天在到秋天，叶子都一直变多、变色，但“冬季”却能让树木成为光秃秃的一片。我喜欢在冬季与家人一同去陪弟弟练足球，不仅让我的身体变暖和，也给弟弟多一次练习的机会呢！还有还有，在冬季时，不知道你有没有发现，蚊子顿时少了很多，总算能让我静下心来好好写功课了，这也是冬季的一大好处唷！最后一个理由也是我最喜爱的原因了，全家一起出动去买火锅料，在员来熙熙攘攘的大卖场，一下子到了冬季，人少了许多，结帐都不必排队排个大老远，真是不错，在冬季，全家人一起围着圆桌，互相帮对方把冷飕飕的风给抵挡起来了，这种感觉也只有冬季感受的到 了，和家人一起围炉，如此这般热融融的气氛，是除了“冬季”之外，任何一季都品尝不到的好滋味。

反正不管怎么说，当然冬季也有它的缺点，像是有冷到令人鼻水直流的寒流等，都会使我们想躲在被窝里不要出来，但偶尔这样，也不是件坏事吧！总而言之，春夏秋冬我都喜欢，每一季都有它的特色，其中，冬季是很特别的一个喔！但是每经过一趟“冬之旅”，都让我有不同的感受。

As a student, my main target is to study well and then make progress step

by step. When holiday comes, it is time for me to play, and I should be happy,

while playing all the time makes me feel empty in my heart. I have done nothing

at all. I want to do something meaningful to enrich my life. So a target is

needed for me. I set a small goal, such as, read a book, or help my mother with

her work. Everytime when I finish my target, I will feel so satisfied. The

meaningful life is to do something useful and make you feel happy.

People always say that we are lacking of the eyes of realizing the beauty in life. I can’t agree with it anymore. Last week, I woke up very early in the morning, so I decided to take a walk. The street was very quiet and there were many old people dancing in the square. Without many cars, I realized the city looked so clean and beautiful. Some coffee shops decorates so well, which attrated my eyes. The city was coverd by the green trees, which made it a green city. I liked this feeling so much. At this moment, I found the city was so lovely, I just ingored its beauty usually.

人们总是说我们缺乏发现实现生活中的美丽的眼睛。我十分同意。上周,我早上很早就醒了,所以我决定出去散步。街上很安静,有很多老人在广场上跳舞。街上没有了很多小车,我意识到这个城市看起来那么干净和漂亮。一些咖啡店装修很好,吸引了我的眼球。这座城市被绿色的树木覆盖着,这是一个绿化放的城市。我很喜欢这种感觉。这时,我发现这个城市是如此的可爱,平常我忽略了它的美。

Last Qingming Festival,i return home to worship my grandfather.Qingming

Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor

Day". But Today, Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush

that has grown. Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set

out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a familys home

altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food. One theory

is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area, the less appealing

food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers.

With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the

honor past ancestors. Following folk religion, the Chinese believed that the

spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and

spirit money could keep them happy, and the family would prosper through good

harvests and more children.

一个十二岁的女孩，高高的个子，瓜子型的脸上镶嵌着一对大眼睛，长长的睫毛显得大眼睛十分灵动，不仅如此，她还遗传妈妈，双眼皮宽宽的，但是她也像妈妈一样戴上了眼镜。她有宽宽的脑门，鼻子下面是一张能说会道的嘴巴。你猜出这是谁了吗?其实，这就是我!

我在学校是一个乖巧听话，令老师喜欢的孩子，谁会相信这样一个女孩回到家就摇身一变，成了顽皮，又带着无理取闹的丫头了，但这却是事实。

在家里，我和妈妈吵吵闹闹是常有的事，因为互不服气。有一次，我和妈妈去参加她朋友的婚礼，当时下了雨，天气较凉，但我依然想穿着裙子去，妈妈不肯，为了这事，我们吵了起来。“可以穿，坐车去又不冷!”“不可能，你想感冒吗?”妈妈瞪着我，眼睛像葡萄一样大，我则毫不示弱，昂着头像小斗鸡似的，吵个不停。最后妈妈要发怒了，我一看，赶紧妥协，撇着嘴，带着满腔不情愿说：“不穿，行了吧。”这就是我，双面性格的我。

在学校担任班长职务的我，当然要开班会了。我清了清嗓子，走上讲台，开始了首次班会。

“同学们，我们今天来学习中学生日常行为规范……”我有条不紊的进行着班会，这可都要靠我平时积累的生活和六年在校的经验，而且还有我良好的语言表达能力。我按老师说的，提问同学，举例说明等等。要知道，现在我能站在台上大胆发言，是因为小学时担任过许多活动的主持人，充分锻炼了自己，所以我有信心开好班会。在老师的总结和同学们的掌声中我走下了讲台，顺利结束了班会。这就是我，自信勇敢的我。

每个星期天，我都不会错过科技频道《自然传奇》这个节目。有时看得入迷，妈妈叫我两三次我都没有听见。我喜欢它是因为它能告诉我自然界的许多知识，比如蚂蚁筑巢，各种蜘蛛如何捕食，植物的很多特点等等。而我最大的梦想，注意不是理想，就是去全球动植物最丰富的亚马逊丛林历险。这就是我，热爱自然的我。

这就是我，有双面性格的我;这就是我，自信勇敢的我;这就是我，热爱自然的我，你们了解我了吗?

"When a guest comes to my home from afar on a cold night, I light bamboo to

boil tea to offer him.”— Ancient Chinese poem.

China is the home country of tea. Before the Tang Dynasty, Chinese tea was

exported by land and sea, first to Japan and Korea, then to India and Central

Asia and, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, to the Arabian Peninsula. In the early

period of the 17th century, Chinese tea was exported to Europe, where the upper

class adopted the fashion of drinking tea. Chinese tea—like Chinese silk and

china—has become synonymous worldwide with refined culture. At the heart of the

culture of tea—the study and practice of tea in all its aspects—is the simple

gesture of offering a cup of tea to a guest that for Chinese people today is a

fundamental social custom, as it has been for centuries.

China traces the development of tea as an art form to Lu Yu, known as "the

Saint of Tea" in Chinese history, who lived during the Tang Dynasty and who

wrote The Book of Tea, the first ever treatise on tea and tea culture. The

spirit of tea permeates Chinese culture, and throughout the country there are

many kinds of teas, teahouses, tea legends, tea artifacts and tea customs.

Better-known places to enjoy a good cup of tea in China include Beijing noted

for its variety of teahouses; Fujian and Guangdong provinces and other places in

the southeast of China that serve gongfu tea, a formal serving of tea in tiny

cups; the West Lake in Hangzhou, also the home of the Tea Connoisseurs

Association, noted for its excellent green tea; and provinces in southwest China

like Yunnan where the ethnic groups less affected by foreign cultures retain tea

ceremonies and customs in original tea-growing areas.

a western festival

Halloween is a western festival. It’s on Oct.31st. It’s a happy time for children because at night they put on the masks to attend the party. After the party, they knock at someone’s door and say: “trick or tread”. It means if you don’t give me the candies, I will play trick on you! At last kids can get enough candies for one year.

Because the Palace Museum is a place of five thousand years of brilliance

and ancient culture, so he has long been a tourist attraction in my heart, and

this summer vacation I have finally made a dream come true.

In Beijing I will ride my father and mother went to the tiananmen square,

across tiananmen square, the meridian gate of the world-famous greeted the hall

of supreme harmony, the hall of supreme harmony majestic, magnificent, colorful

glazed tile, such as a long arranged very neat. Curved corner with a monster,

four up the eaves of the cock appear grand hall of supreme harmony, to the hall

of supreme harmony, seventy-two large andalusite carved dragon painted chicken

shows the architecture of the feudal monarchy. The golden roof reflects the

majesty and status of the ancient Chinese emperors. The great hall looked solemn

and solemn, but the beauty of the appearance was so monotonous and heavy that I

was in vain. I dont know why I feel as if a group of puppets are standing

respectfully on either side of the house. Incense sticks up in the incense

burner, and the emperor sits high in the temple. The Palace Museum, a symbol of

the ancient kingship, has been invaded by a brick and a brick. It is far from

the palace of Buckingham Palace.

In the afternoon, we in addition to the front door, look back at taihe

light standing in tiananmen square, this magnificent buildings, so the layout of

the orderly, so solemn, not amazing, hope this trip to the Forbidden City will

become my eternal memory.

Every year when the autumn comes, there will be a sports meeting in my school. I am so impressed by the opening ceremony. Every class will march on the ground and show their features, which is very funny. Last year, a group of students wore the co-splay dresses. When they showed up, they caught all people’s attention and won the biggest applause. It is a great event for every student, and also a good chance to let students develop their creativity. This year, my class decided to make a big surprise. Everyone has provided their idea and I love the atmosphere. I am so looking forward to the opening ceremony.

每年秋天到来的时候，我学校都会举行运动会。开幕式给我留下了深刻的印象。每个班级都将在操场上行走，展示他们的特色，非常有趣。去年，一群学生穿了角色扮演的裙子，当他们出现的时候，吸引了所有人的注意力，赢得了最热烈的掌声。这对每个学生来说都是大事一件，也是让学生发挥创造力的好机会。今年，我们班决定给大家一个惊喜，每个人都提供了自己的想法，我喜欢这样的氛围。我对开幕式充满了期待。

Today, as the development of technology, people can change their faces by doing plastic surgery, because of the commercial ads, people are highly effected by the exaggerated facts that they can be the shining stars. So people pay special attention on the outlooks, they want to look perfect, as far as I am concerned, the true beauty is nothing with perfect looking, only the inner beauty makes you shining. In the fairly tale of Cinderella, the prince chooses the poor girl instead of the beautiful girls, because he admires Cinderella’s inner beauty, though she is nobody. Though it is just a story, it tells people that inner beauty makes one outstanding. People can make their faces perfect, but there is no way to fulfill their inner beauty by technology. Inner beauty is the most precious thing, beautiful outlook will fade away with the time, but inner beauty won’t, it only getting valuable.

今天，随着科技的发展，人们可以通过做外科手术改变自己的外貌，由于商业广告，人们深深受到那些夸张效果的影响，相信自己可以成为耀眼的明星。因此人们很关注外表，他们想要让自己看起来完美，就我看来，真正的美丽和完美的外表无关，唯有内在美才能让你耀眼。在童话故事《灰姑娘》中，王子选择了那个可怜的女孩而不是那些好看的姑娘，因为他欣赏的是灰姑娘的内在美，虽然她没有地位。虽然这只是个故事，它告诉人们内在美让一个人出众。人们可以通过科技让他们的外表完美，但是内在美却是无法通过科技得到的。内在美是最宝贵的东西，美丽的外表会随着时间而消逝，但是内在美不会，它只会更加珍贵。

When memory began for me, my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man

with thick hair becoming gray. He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended

in a slightly flattened tip. Once he explained seriously to me that he got that

flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose.

The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the prodnct of

a kindly and humorous nature. The years of work which had bent his shoulders had

never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke.

Everywhere he went, "Gramp" made friends easily. At the end of half an hour

you felt you had known him all your life. I soon learned that he hated to give

orders , but that when he had to, he tried to make his orders sound like

suggestions.

One July morning, as he was leaving to go to the cornfield, he said :

"Edwin, you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do that.

" Then he drove away with his horses.

The day passed, and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes. Evening

came and the potatoes were still in the field. Gramp, dusty and tired, led the

horses to get their drink.

"How many bags of potatoes were there?" Gramp inquired. "I dont know.

"

"How many potatoes did you pick up?"

"I didnt pick any. " "Not any! Why not?"

"You said I could pick, them up if I wanted to. You didnt say I had to.

"

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget: when Gramp

said I could if I wanted to, he meant that I should want to.

Gram hated cruelty and injustice. The injustices of history, even those of

a thousand years before, angered her as much as the injustices of her own

day.

She also had a deep love of beauty. When she was almost seventy-five, and

had gone to live with one of her daughters, she spent a delightful morning

washing dishes because, as she said, the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave

her pleasure. The bird, the flowers, the clouds-all that was beautiful around

her- pleased her. She was like the father of the French painter, Millet, who

used to gather grass and show it to his son , saying , "See how beautif ul this

is ! "

In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that

are of value. The softer virtues are considered unnecessary. Men and women

struggling daily to earn a living are unable, even for a moment, to forget the

business of preserving their lives. Only unusual people, like my grandparents,

manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle.

Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to

September in the wonderful days of summer and youth.

Today is "51" international labor day, TV shows are labor the most glorious. I think I should do something to help my mother.There were so many mother to do!Mother bought a bunch of strawberry need to wash, I say: "mother, I come." Mother put the strawberries to me.

Our class have had a discussion about whether we can use mobile phones.

Some students think it is good to use mobile phones because they can take

photos with them in our daily life. They can also listen to music to relax

themselves in free time. Besides, using mobile phones makes it easy to keep in

touch with their parents and friends.

But some others dont think so. They think students shouldnt use mobile

phones. Using mobile phones too much is bad for their eyes and its a waste of

time to chat with friends. Sometimes some students use mobile phones to play

games. It will have a bad effect on study.

In my opinion, I think wed better not use mobile phones. We should spend

more time on our study instead of using mobile phones.

Watching anime is one of the favorite things I like to do. Some one may say watching anime is a waste of time and a kind of naive thing, but I dont think so. In fact, I can learn a lot from watching anime. For example , never give up , believe , confidence , intelligent and so on. I like the person in the anime too. Because they are usually stronger or cooler than the real people. They can make our dream come true. 看动漫是我最喜欢做的事之一。 也许有人会说，看动漫是浪费时间和幼稚的事情，但我不这样认为。事实上，我可以从看动漫中学到很多东西，比如说，从不言弃，信任，自信，智慧等等。 我也喜欢那些动漫里的人物，因为他们通常比真人更强壮或更帅气。他们可以去实现我们的梦想。

Directions:For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic:

Pollution: An Increasing Concern in China You should write at least120 words following the outline below in Chinese.

1. 中国的污染的现状

2. 造成污染的原因

3. 解决的办法

Pollution: An Increasing Concern in China

It is reported that ten big cities in China are being ranked among the top twenty cities with the highest pollution index in the world. This means it is high time we did something to bring the situation under control.Many factors are contributing to the deteriorating situation: industrial wastes pumped into the air， the lakes and rivers; a increasing number of automobiles crowding into the streets; the widespread use of plastic bags etc.

To my view， stiffer laws and regulations must be implemented to check pollution. Industries that release wastes without permission should be heavily fined. Cars should be equipped to minimize the exhaust they release into the air. And the use of plastic bags and disposable meal boxes should be banned. What’s more， the media should play an important role in implanting a sense of environmental consciousness into people’s mind. If everybody works toward a common goal of making the environment better， we can create a cleaner and lovelier world for us and for the coming generation.
