高一英语介绍自己作文汇集20篇

一个渴望完美却有着许多缺点的女孩，一个想要成功却屡次碰壁的女孩，一个追求时尚却不懂得高雅的女孩。你想知道那个女孩是谁吗?也许你已经猜出来了——是的，那个小女孩就是我!嗨，大家好!我叫许静茹，初次驾到，还望各位多多指教。我出生在跨世纪的建党节。

我是个爱幻想的小女孩，不瞒你说，我的网名就叫做“梦幻之冰”。我认为我们应该分享每一分钟的快乐时光。你只有快乐，才会感到阳光是那么灿烂，蓝天是那么的明朗。追求快乐的人是不断争取的，是不会被困难击垮的，也是会勇敢地去面对每一件事的……在人世间的每一天，你可以选择开开心心地过，当然你也可以选择悲伤痛苦地过。那么，你又何尝不选择快快乐乐地过好每一天呢?

乐观是我自以为的优点之一，其次，我的普通话还说得很标准。我还曾经得过“普通话讲故事比赛”三等奖呢!而且，几乎每年教堂的活动有一部分都是由我主持的(我是的)。

《墨子》中曾有这么一句话：“甘瓜苦蒂，天下物无全美。”我也有缺点：1、贪吃;2、粗心;3、懒惰。按我爸爸的说法，我的嘴从出生到现在几乎一刻都没有停过!我这张嘴只要看见香喷喷的饭菜，就管不住了，像个小馋虫似的，非吃个过瘾才行。早上妈妈才买了五个苹果和十包饼干，等傍晚时，已所剩无几了。

粗心也是我的一大毛病。就拿五年级的考试来说吧：数学的附加题一共有五道题，这五道题我都会，也都做过了。但是，粗心的我要么是计算错误，要么就是多做了一步。所以到了最后，也就只有第一题和最后一题全对。就这样，满分就和我擦肩而过了。你看看，我是不是很粗心。

我还很懒惰。因为我虽不是独生子，但我仍是爸爸妈妈的掌上明珠。就算在家里，我妈妈也是不让我干任何家务事，于是久而久之，我就养成了“衣来伸手，饭来张口”的习惯了。不过，我学习的积极性也是蛮高的，至少我回家后的第一件事通常都是先写作业，然后再吃饭。

我的爱好还真不少，画画、唱歌我都很喜欢，也都会一点。在我看来，画画能修身养性，唱歌能陶冶情操……我是一个像向日葵一样追求阳光的女孩，我的人生观是快乐每一天，希望我可以把快乐带给大家!

这就是我，希望我能和你成为好朋友。

人物介绍："我"，一个长得不高不矮，不胖不瘦的我，一个比较黑，但五官却还行的我。乌黑的头发，小小的眼睛，比较宽却较扁的鼻梁，和一个不大不小的嘴巴，旁边的耳朵很尖却也很小。

所发生的事：在学校，不例外，他们叫我”非洲人”，尽管我并不喜欢这个称号，可我却不能怎么样，所从我并不会因为这个而生气。我呢，想当一个孔子所说的：“人不知而不愠，不亦君君子乎？”而我呢？却并不是因为这个而不生气，因为我有时候自言自语叫自己“黑妞”，真是跟他们配起来了。你说我这是叫作傻呢，还是叫作天真呢？

在我家里的事情也许对于别人来说只能算是鸡毛蒜皮，对于我来说那叫一个可气，因为有时我妈心情不好，而我又刚好撞在“枪口上”了，她便要拿我“出气”了。“汤琴啊！你长得丑就算了，偏偏你又成绩不好，你说你长大了以后怎么办啊！等到以后啊，以后你才晓得信啊。”哎！这还不算事，可气的是，我弟有时也会说我又黑又丑。拜托，我可是他姐哎！到底是谁比较大啊！这还算个事吗？一说到这里我就气得牙痒痒。

学习：对于“学习”一词我觉得大人们根本就不懂，因为他们不是叫我们读书，就是叫我们去哪个补习班了！哎，学习也是需要空间的，我们应该劳逸结合，当然玩为要有个度，但是也不能不玩啊，否则就成书呆子了！

现在大家认识我了吗？哦，对了。吾：汤琴，女，芳龄12，“较”黑。如果您不嫌弃我，可到广西桂林有全州县新汤家来找我呦，随时恭迎您的到来！

I am xx.  I was born in xx.  I graduate from senior high school and major in English.  I started learning English since I was 12 years old.  My parents have a lot of American friends.  That’s why I have no problem communicating with Americans or others by speaking English.

In my spare time, I like to do anything relating to English such as listening to English songs, watching English movies or TV programs, or even attending the activities held by some English clubs or institutes.  I used to go abroad for a short- term English study.  During that time, I learned a lot of daily life English and saw a lot of different things.

I think language is very interesting.  I could express one substanceby using different sounds.  So I wish I could study and read more English literatures and enlarge my knowledge.

你们认识我吗?如果不认识，那就真的是太遗憾了，我可是活泼开朗，聪明善良的薛钰呀!快来认识我一下吧!

我叫薛钰，今年11岁，上六年级，扎着马尾辫，一双柳叶眉，一对大眼睛，哈哈想象中的。我的眼睛是水灵灵，充满智慧型的哦!我有一张小嘴巴，是典型的“小吃货”哦，我有时会妄想吃遍人间所有美味，哈哈哈，想想那些美味的食物，我现在口水都流出来了。我有一张胖胖的圆脸蛋，我的好朋友总说我是“包子脸”肉嘟嘟的，他们一提这个我就生气，我的脸上哪有那么多肉肉啊!他们一个个都是“瓜子脸”，我看是有点嫉妒我吧。

我有一个特点，就是特别健忘，你给我说一件事(除了正经事)不一会我就忘了。如果要是评选健忘小姐，哈哈估计我会荣获桂冠。

有一次我和我的朋友约定，说周六出去玩，但只不过相隔了一天，我就忘了，那天我的朋友按照约定在我家楼下等我，而我却在家一会儿写作业，一会看电视，早忘到九霄云外去了，时间1分1秒的过去，我的朋友在楼下大约等了二三十分钟，终于等急了，给我打了个电话，这时我才想起来，我们的约定，真是健忘误事呀。

我的爱好呢，有很多，比如：阅读、乒乓球、舞蹈、做手工等，其中我最喜欢的是舞蹈和阅读。我喜欢舞蹈，跳舞对我来说是一种享受，我一听到音乐就会不由自主的舞动起来，而且我在舞蹈班中交到了很多好朋友，我们学着，玩着，每天都是开心的，快乐的。我的梦想就是长大了业余时间当一名舞蹈老师。我也喜欢阅读，读书可以开阔视野，获得更多的知识，写作水平也会不断提高，高尔基说过：“书是人类进步的阶梯”我想我读过的书应该会铺在我未来的道路上，使我走的更加平稳。

我虽然有些健忘，但我做事情认真负责，一丝不苟，虽然不能做到完美，但一定要比以前做的更好。

这下你认识我了么?这就是我不一样的花朵，一个活泼开朗，有些健忘，爱好广泛，做事有责任心的女孩――薛钰。

The first day is for the welcoming of the deities of the heavens and earth, officially beginning at midnight. Many people, especially Buddhists, abstain from meat consumption on the first day because it is believed that this will ensure longevity for them. Some consider lighting fires and using knives to be bad luck on New Years Day, so all food to be consumed is cooked the day before. For Buddhists, the first day is also the birthday of Maitreya Bodhisattva (better known as the more familiar Budai Luohan), the Buddha-to-be. People also abstain from killing animals.

Most importantly, the first day of Chinese New Year is a time when families visit the oldest and most senior members of their extended family, usually their parents, grandparents or great-grandparents.

Some families may invite a lion dance troupe as a symbolic ritual to usher in the Lunar New Year as well as to evict bad spirits from the premises. Members of the family who are married also give red packets containing cash to junior members of the family, mostly children and teenagers.

While fireworks and firecrackers are traditionally very popular, some regions have banned them due to concerns over fire hazards, which have resulted in increased number of fires around New Years and challenged municipal fire departments work capacity. For this reason, various city governments (e.g., Hong Kong, and Beijing, for a number of years) issued bans over fireworks and firecrackers in certain premises of the city. As a substitute, large-scale fireworks have been launched by governments in cities like Hong Kong to offer citizens the experience.

When autumn comes, I feel so excited, because the sports meeting comes. I

like sports so much. When I was very small, my father took me to watch the

basketball match, in the long time, sports have become part of my life. When I

started to come to school, I join the basketball team, I had the great time to

practice with my friends. Though high school life is very busy and I have to

learn so many subjects, I still keep taking exercise everyday. Sports meeting

time is my favorite time in the semester. I can take part in many activities,

such as basketball and high jump. I am full of energy, I just want to enjoy the

moment of taking exercise. Sports meeting indeed brings students many energy and

make the students become active. They can also exercise their bodies.

我叫秦煜垚，属猴，所以大家都说我是只活泼可爱的小猴子。我长着一头乌黑美丽的长发，有着一双明亮的大眼睛。怎么样，想认识我吗？

我很快乐，每天哼着小曲，蹦蹦跳跳地去上学。在学校，我总是大家的好帮手。一到家，我就把学校发生的趣事讲给奶奶听。我喜欢画画、唱歌、弹钢琴，妈妈说这些爱好能让我更聪明；我喜欢冬天的小傲梅，因为它有不畏严寒、顽强不屈的品质，它是我学习的榜样；我还喜欢雪花的坚持，为达到目的勇往直前的精神。

我最喜欢弹钢琴。我呀！已经学了三年多了，我练过一些著名的曲子如：《献给爱丽丝》、《童年的回忆》……我有时候也会很烦燥，但是爸爸经常告诫我已经学了就一定要坚持、坚持、再坚持，做一件事一定要做好。在爸爸的鼓励下，我认真练琴。记得有一次弹琴时，我弹着弹着就忘记了周围的一切，好像进入到音乐的世界。我弹了一曲又一曲，把我喜欢的曲子弹了个遍，当我弹完兴高采烈地去吃饭时，我傻了，饭桌上啥也没有，我很生气地问：“你们咋不叫我呢？”爸爸眯着眼睛怪声怪气说：“我们几个人叫你，你都没听见，我们以为你不吃了呢，我们吃完了。”我生气地说：“人家还没吃呢，你们怎么能这样。”这时候，奶奶说：“我给你留得有！乖乖！你爸爸逗你玩呢！”

我有一个不太好的习惯――爱玩电脑，当我玩起电脑时都不知休息，经常因为玩游戏，耽误写作业，不管外面再吵，我也玩得下去。如果今天我很困，非常想睡觉，但只要一玩电脑，我就精神起来。现在我觉得这种习惯不好，但我可以把这种认真精神用到学习上。

这就是我，一个快乐的女孩、一个积极向上、活泼可爱的女孩。你们喜欢我吗？愿意和我交朋友吗？

Hi!大家好!我叫戚x，今年12岁了，我在慈吉小学读四年级。我中等个子，不胖不瘦，圆圆的脸蛋上嵌着一双乌溜溜的大眼睛，炯炯有神，大家见了我一次肯定会记住我。

我是一个有着双重性格的男孩子。平时在学校里我比较文静，整节课堂里都会显得默默无闻。这是我的缺点，我一定会把它改正过来。但是我也有活泼的一面，我特别喜欢运动，像跑步、踢球、跳绳和打羽毛球都是我的最爱。

记得又一次，是星期天的下午，我做完作业，闲着没事就和爸爸妈妈去广场打羽毛球。我和妈妈先打第一场，比赛开始了，我俩都不肯轻易放过对方，目不转睛地顶着对方，紧紧地握着羽毛球的手把。首先由妈妈发球，趁我没留意，那球如子弹般就打到了地面上了。紧接着，妈妈又发了个高球，那球在空中划过一道优美的弧线，迅速坠向我的身后。我立即跳上去，舒展手臂，就等扣杀。可惜，一着急，球没碰到，人倒是摔倒了。没关系，摔摔更健康，我不断鼓励自己加油。接下来，我球打得一个比一个好，妈妈招架不住，只好甘拜下风。

这场比赛我赢了，紧接着挑战老爸。我们两个你争我夺，打得大汗淋漓，也分不出个高低。老爸说，就算平手吧!可我不依不饶，非得分出个胜负来。最后，老爸也只能缴械投降。

这就是我，一个文静的我，一个爱运动的我。大家记住我了吗?

我是一个个子高高，和活泼的男生。虽然爱犯错误，但是我知错就改。

在鸿二小学的时候，不管什么活动，都有我的身影。老师赞扬我是热血少年。同学说我和热情。

在搬桌子的时候，我搬得比别人多，扫地的时候我帮人拿扫把，下课时帮老师盛水、倒垃圾……

在最后一个六一节上，我付出了很多心血，早上早早地到班里搬桌子，吹气球、扫地、擦桌子。所以在个性上我又是一个关心集体的人。

一来到盐鸿中学这个大家庭我就觉得这里的老师非常热情，同学很有礼貌。

校长说：“我们来到盐鸿中学，就是缘。我把初一(12)班当成我第二个家，我要为家争光，为家争气。

我一般不会单独上学，我会和同学一起来。在班里，下课我就去认识新同学，同学愈多我愈高兴。

这就是我，一个青春活力，关心集体的中学生!

我有幸福时，你会发现更多的理想需要追求;悲伤时，你会发现前方的路何其漫长;但我们的人生总要留一点希望给自己。一位朋友读三年级时，一天晚上，他的爸爸妈妈带着他回家时，路上被一辆大货车给撞倒了，在撞倒的瞬间，他的爸爸妈妈将他从车上推了出去，之后爸爸妈妈就被大货车撞飞到十几米远的地方去了，当我那位朋友跑过去看爸爸妈妈时，他们已经奄奄一息了，不久，便停止了呼吸。我的那位朋友泪流满面。第二天他来学校时，两只眼睛肿的像桃子一般大，我问他怎么了，可他就是不说，后来我从别人那得知这件事。

此后，他变得沉默寡言，不在像以前那样活蹦乱跳贪玩了，下课时他都在座位上看书。时间过得飞快，一个学期过去了，我们都上四年级了，报名时，没有看到他的名字，这时我们才想起他现在是个孤儿，失去了世界上最爱他的亲人，我在别人那听说，他只有哥哥和奶奶这两个家人。但是，我在学校从没看见他流露出一点悲伤，过度的悲伤没有压垮他，在班上的学习成绩还那么好!

老师和同学们知道后，都伸出援助之手，学校免除了他的很多费用，老师也经常跟他谈心，同学们也经常把好吃的分给他，大家都成了他的亲人，他的成绩在班上总是第一。我曾今问过他：“你为什么如此坚强。”他说：“父母用生命换来的我，不能辜负他们的希望。我必须坚强!”他成了远近闻名的学霸。

人不可能一帆风顺，面前的路无法预料，但有一点我们必须懂得：那就是，不管什么时候，我们的人生总要留一点希望给自己。

travel is a very good means of broadening a persons perspective。 it makes you come into contact with different cultures， meet people of different colors and go through peculiar rites and ceremonies。 travelling much， you will not only enrich your knowledge and eperiences， but also be aware of the vastness of nature。

travel may also relieve person of boredom and gloom。 travel brings you enjoyment and attraction。 it gives you a pleasant eperience， which will disperse your boredom and make you forget whatever annoys you。 travel broadens your mind and leaves you good memories。 later， you may go over these memories and enjoy your past eperiences， thus keeping a fresh and sunny mind。

the fields his study， nature was his book。

travelers can choose different modes of transportation which have advantages and disadvantages。 airplanes are the fastest but also the most epensive。 buses and trains are less epensive， but they soon make you feel cramped and uncomfortable。 ships provide you with comfort unless you get seasick。 most people can afford traveling by bicycle， which， although slow， can limber up your muscles and get you closer to nature。

早晨，天气灰蒙蒙的，是雨夹小雪的天气。我去市中心的闹市区，在一家大型商场的门口，有一个很大的舞台，有个长的很帅的小伙子伫立在风中歌唱，谁会在这样的天气里停下脚步来，聆听和欣赏他的歌曲声？他的对面便是这座城市最繁华的大道，车水马龙川流不息。他没有乐队伴奏，他没有观众。他紧闭着双眼，双手紧握着麦克风，他唱的很动情也很好听，他沉浸在他内心美丽的世界里。

我路过他的面前时，我的心突然感到一阵紧缩，我愣住了，呆呆地站在那里，手中举着一把雨伞，听他很动情十分投入的歌唱。我想，无论他是受顾于一场商业性演出，或是他为了生计，但他是个劳动者。他很尽职，他也很忠诚，他固守着自己的追求，他的内心一定有着无比美丽世界。人活着都不容易，可人人都能不丢失自己么？这个小伙子使我再次的深刻的体会了什么叫伟大，什么叫理想。在每个人最后的日子里，上帝一定是公平的，无论是权势、荣华富贵、金银珠宝，我们什么都带不走。我们能带着走的就是一份美好的情感，一份对这个世界里美好理想与永远向善的执着追寻，“人，不能丢失了自己”……

人生一恍，很多年就已经悄然的过去了，“一弹指六十刹那，一刹那九百生灭”。那位伫立在寒风中孤立无援唱歌的小伙子，他的身影一直在我的内心深处摇曳着，像一棵小草也像一朵荒野里盛开的矢车菊，而我很像他。他的形象一直鼓励着我，历尽人生坎坷，而无怨无悔的走下去。不在意虚名，不在意别人的看法，不在乎被人误解，不在乎被冤屈，意念执着的走下去，走到生命的尽头，抵达光明的顶点。或许，我就可以像个婴儿那样在飘雪的日子里安详的睡去，今生洁来还洁去。

大家好，我叫刘健楠，今年9岁，在中站实验小学读三年级。

我个子高高的、瘦瘦的，有一双迷人的小眼睛、高高的鼻梁和一张不爱说话的嘴巴，大人们都说我是个十分秀气的女孩。

我的爱好广泛，弹琴、画画、跳绳……但是我最喜欢的还是看书。每天中午一进家门，就拿起当天的《焦作晚报》校园记者版津津有味地读起来。告诉你个秘密，我的书柜里有许多书，每天我完成作业就会在书中遨游一番，有时候常常会因为看书错过了吃饭时间。书是我形影不离的好朋友，它使我明白了做人的道理：勇敢面对生活。

但我的缺点就是马虎，有时候会犯一些不该犯的错，把数学中的加法当成减法做，将计算结果少写一个零……哎，你说我马虎不马虎？所以，我暗暗对自己说：“一定要把马虎这个坏毛病改掉。”

听完我的介绍，你愿意和我做朋友吗？

Last qingming Festival,i return home to worship my grandfather.qingming Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,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.
