初二年级英语作文：我看到的彩虹【经典20篇】

People always say that if you want to be successful, then you need to never

give up. I agree with it. The power of insistence is infinite. It can bring us

to our destination. I have made up my mind to finish the task in the planned

time. At the beginning, I would write my homework once I got home and I finished

it quickly without other’s interruption. But sometimes my friends came to my

house and asked me to join the activity, and I would say yes without hesitation.

When I got home was almost ten o’clock, all I wanted to do was to sleep, but

thinking about the homework, then I decided to finish it and refused to leave

them another day. Today’s thing should be done in today. That’s my faith. My

insistence helps me to be an excellent student.

My Little Secret

I have a little secret, that is I have saved some money for myself. My parents don’t know, they still give me the pocket money in time, I save the pocket money for a long time. I want to use the money to buy what I want, I plan to give my parents some surprise when I save the enough money, this is my little secret.

【翻译】

我有一个秘密，那就是我已经存了一些钱。我的父母并不知道，他们仍然定时给我一些零花钱，我把这些钱省下来已经有一段时间了。我想要用这些钱来买我想要的，我计划着存了足够钱的时候，给我的父母一些惊喜，这是我的小秘密。

Success means different things for different people. Some may equate it

with money, some with work and still some with ohter. For me, it means

fulfilling ones dreams. Whatever your dreams are, you have a goal there and

then focus all your attention on it. Dreams bring you hope and happiness. May be

you cry, sweat, complain or even curse, but the joy of harvesting makes you

forget all the pains and troubles you have gone through. So an old proverb says

that the sweetest fruit is one that has undergone the bitterest ordeal.There are

several keys to success. First, your goal must be practical and practicable. If

you set your goal too high, maybe that you will never attain it. Next, you have

to make a plan of doing it. Since the dream is quite tough, you need to be hard,

Even if you meet with some difficulties, just take them in your stride. You can

always tell yourself that there is nothing about. With this will and

determination, success is sure to wait for you at the end of the tunnel!

Work and play do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work. On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.

What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies. Usually I dont spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school. Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the days pressure. On weekends, Ill catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment. I feel revived and energetic for another weeks work-load.

工作与娱乐并不互相冲突，事实上，它们之间的关系还相辅相成。有句格言说：整日工作而没有休闲娱乐，会令人变得沉闷乏味。」被工作重担压得喘不过气来的生活，将使你一事无成，因为你将对一成不变的例行公事感到厌烦。由另一方面来说，适度的娱乐活动能提供各种管道，来渲泄你被压抑的情绪，减轻单调生活中的紧张与不悦。

放学之后，我最常做的休闲活动，便是慢跑与看电影。通常我并不特地拨出时间来做运动，但是我很重视学校的体育课。在操场上慢跑几圈，无疑地可以减轻一天的压力。在周末时，我都去看早场电影，享受视觉飨宴。如此一来，我将有如再生般的充沛活力，去面对下一星期的工作量。

你富有朝气，性格直率，爱好广泛，努力为班级争荣誉，运动场上的英姿是你最大的骄傲，但你又是一个总让我"提心吊胆"的男孩，何时能让我自豪?我仍在苦苦等待。愿你我携手相伴，托起你明天的辉煌! 你思想纯朴，待人随和、诚恳，能自觉遵守纪律，尤其能遵守宿舍纪律，但你平时工作不够踏实，做事有点马虎，学习上效率不高，进取心不强，与同学不能和睦相处，缺乏为班级争光的热情与能力。 愿你活泼、开朗、锻炼能力，做一个全面发展的好学生!

你是个平凡而又朴实的女孩，你思想健康，蓬勃上进，你性格开朗，又能明辨是非，你时常默默无闻，但与你交谈时，你能侃侃而谈，你渴望学习上的进步，但成绩又不尽人意，你常常矛盾、信心不足，要知道前进的道路不会一马平川。 愿你策马前行，快马加鞭!

你是一个非常文静、礼貌、懂事的女孩，对待班级工作总是默默无闻、一丝不苟，对待他人总是坦率与友好，你是同学们的好朋友，你学习基础较差，思维也不够敏捷，但你仍然踏踏实实，一步一个脚印，勇往直前。愿你继续努力，我始终会做你的支持者、为你加油，为你鼓劲!

你是个聪明、机灵的人，但又是个令人捉摸不透的、顽皮的男孩，常常"让我欢喜让我忧"，所幸的是，你最近有所醒悟，意识到学习的真正重要。我所要对你说的是从现在开始还来得及，千万不要白白浪费自己的才智。

你能严格遵守学校纪律，有较强的集体荣誉感。你是个听话懂事、善解人意、诚实质朴、令人信任的女孩。各科基础知识比较扎实。学习有计划，有条理。学习刻苦，能从严要求自己，学习成绩不断上升。希望你能坚定信心，持之以恒，有迎难而上的勇气，不断改进学习方法，争取学习成绩百尺竿头,更上一层楼 。

你是老师最喜欢的学生之一，源于你无论何时挂在脸上的微笑，源于你在处理事情上所显示的聪慧，无疑，你应该是优秀的。你是一个心地善良，是非分明，有责任心的孩子，对任何事都能尽职尽责地做好。老师喜欢你在知识的海洋里畅游的学习劲头，更愿意看到你在课余时间象蝴蝶一样在大自然中快乐飞舞。

你是个聪明、性格开朗的女孩，同学们都喜欢接近你，与你在一起谈笑风生，你懂礼貌，尊敬老师，热爱劳动，关心集体，还有一手工整漂亮的字，这些是你的长处。如果在学习上你更加严格要求自己，不满足现状，提高答题速度，有竞争思想，那么，你一定会跟“优秀”靠得更近一些。

你文文静静，秀气美丽，课堂上总是眨巴着乌溜溜的眼睛专心地听讲，作业完成得认真又整洁，每次值日你都能有始有终，认真完成，老师真喜欢你。如果在课堂上积极举手发言，那你的思维会更加敏捷，口头表达能力会更加出色。勇敢些，相信你能行。

你是一个心地善良，是非分明，有责任心的孩子，对任何事都能尽职尽责地做好，你努力向身边的好同学学习，成绩在一天天进步。老师喜欢你在知识的海洋里畅游的学习劲头，更愿意看到你在课余时间象蝴蝶一样在大自然中快乐飞舞。

我们的绿化应该是全面的绿化，而不是甲地搞绿化，把乙地的树移到甲地，正如象山县一位小学生在作文中把这种现象叫做绿化的“农转非”。他在调查后发现，原本在数十年农村长得好好的树，有的移到城市后死了，“人挪活，树挪死”，这也是一种形式主义，这边绿了，那边秃了，这是在糟蹋绿化，值得深思。

3月12日是我国的植树节，为了绿化祖国，改善生态环境，大家积极参与植树造林活动，从过去的荒山秃林，到今天的郁郁葱葱;城市中的绿化率也在不断提高，在街道两旁，在居民小区，绿荫丛丛，四季桃红柳绿，花香鸟语，使我们生活在安居和谐、花园般境界之中。

在绿化中当然也有不和谐的音符，滥砍滥伐、毁林事件时有发生，有些单位未经审批就把树锯掉，有些商店认为树木遮蔽了店面，就自作主张锯去行道树，有的把树干当作搭建凉棚支撑，有的在树枝树干拉上一条绳子凉晒衣服被子，更有人在树旁生起炉子经营早点快餐，树木受此折磨，以至萎缩缩死亡，令人痛心不已。

我们的绿化应该是全面的绿化，而不是甲地搞绿化，把乙地的树移到甲地，正如象山县一位小学生在作文中把这种现象叫做绿化的“农转非”。他在调查后发现，原本在数十年农村长得好好的树，有的移到城市后死了，“人挪活，树挪死”，这也是一种形式主义，这边绿了，那边秃了，这是在糟蹋绿化，值得深思。

保护绿化，贯彻《森林法》，任重而道远也。

春天真美，让我们怀着快乐的心情去寻找它吧! The spring is true, let us find it with a happy mood!

春天在美丽的森林里。大山爷爷脱下美丽的皮袄，换上了翠绿的春装，鸟儿妈妈带着它的子女来到这里筑巢，咦，鸟妈妈又飞出来干嘛呀?原来是去捉虫，孩子们在窝里唱着欢快的歌，其等着妈妈回来。小松鼠听见了小鸟那欢快的歌声，走出树洞在树枝上跳来跳去，好像也去外面寻找食物。

春天在美丽的树枝上。河边柳树抽出了嫩芽，柳条随风飘舞，好像一位小姑娘站在河边梳理自己的长发。桃花开了白的像雪、粉的似霞。迎春花也开了，一朵朵小花像一个个小喇叭，吹着动听的吹着动听的春之歌。雪白的玉兰花和梨花竞相开放争奇斗艳。

春天在绿油油的草地上。一场春雨过后，小草从湿漉漉泥土里悄悄地探出头来，睁大眼睛东瞧瞧，西看看，大声赞叹“春天真美，我要为春天添加绿色。”草地上开满了五颜六色的野花，花儿不时的散发出一阵阵香味，引来勤劳的小蜜蜂，在花丛中采蜜，引来了美丽的蝴蝶在花丛中翩翩起舞。

春天在清澈见底的河里。小河里的冰融化了，河水哗哗地流着。小鱼在水里游泳，鸭妈妈带着自己的子女在水里练习游泳，真是“春江水暖鸭先知”呀!这时小青蛙被惊醒了，它伸了伸懒腰，“呱呱呱”地叫着，好像在说“我要为农民伯伯捉虫了。”

春天在蔚蓝的天空中。大雁排着整齐的队伍从南方飞回来了，小燕子在天空中“叽叽喳喳’叫着。一只只风筝徐徐升上天空，点缀的更美丽了。

春天真是万物复苏、生机勃勃的季节，我爱春天。

In everyones life, the path of the may not always smooth, each person will encounter difficulties and setbacks. When you face difficulty and setback, you dont fear, never retreat, must be brave to face them, to find a way to overcome, and overcome, so that you beat yourself.

I also have such an experience.

In a day, our teacher let us do a teacher himself out of the test paper, a few questions before I finished it easily, but alone has baffled me to the last question, I want to left again, method let me call back later, I want to right again, method and let me call back later, I left no stone unturned, racking their brains, think along while also didnt think out the solution to this problem. Ten minutes passed, and 20 Zhong Guo, thirty minutes passed, 35 minutes passed...... there are still five minutes seemed close examination paper, how to do? In the last few minutes, I suddenly shine at the moment, find the problem solving methods to the problem. Then I thought: this method is not in front of my eyes? Why cant I didnt see it? as luck would have it, I have just finished the question, the teacher will submit to us, after down, I know "everything be afraid and they were afraid that the word" seriously.

In this question, I know a truth, no matter what happens, as long as serious, you will overcome the present difficulties, wont let him give avenue, and extend to a more difficult way.

The classmates, please believe that, although the road ahead even more dangerous and more bumpy, but as long as you seriously and carefully to do every thing, begin with careful, ends in earnest, there would be no bad thing you do, as long as they have "serious" 2 words, then you can overcome all difficulties, overcome all difficulties, beat off all the obstacle on the road of life, make your life more meaningful!

在每个人的一生中，走的路不可能总是平坦的，每个人一定会遇到困难和挫折。当你面对困难和挫折时，你千万不要胆怯，千万不能退缩，一定要勇敢的面对它们，想办法战胜，并且克服，这样你就等于战胜了你自己。

我也有一次这样的经历。

在一天，我们老师让我们做一张老师自己出的考卷，前几道题我轻轻松松的就做完了，可是惟独有最后一道题把我给难住了，我左想一遍，方法让我给打回去了，我右想一遍，方法又让我给打回去了，我想尽了一切方法，绞尽脑汁，想了半天也没把这道题的解法想出来。十分钟过去了、二十分钟过去了、三十分钟过去了、三十五分钟过去了······眼看还有五分钟就要收卷子了，怎么办呢?在最后的几分钟里，我忽然眼前一亮，找到着这道题的解题方法。当时我想：‘这方法不就在我的眼前么?我怎么就没看见呢?’说来也巧，我刚刚做完了那一道题，老师就要我们交卷，下去以后，我知道了“世上万物怕就怕这认真二字”。

在这次做题中，我知道了一个道理，无论做什么事，只要认真，你一定会克服眼前的困难，不会让他给大道，并且向更艰难的路走去。

同学们，请相信，虽然前面的路更加艰险，更加坎坷不平，但是只要你认真地对待和认真地去做每一件事，以细心开头，以认真结尾，就没有你做不好的事，只要自己拥有“认真”二字，那么你就可以战胜一切困难，克服一切困难，打退一切人生路上的拦路虎，使你的一生更加有意义!

machine. They are already widely used in industries and in universities. They are used in many ways.

Computers can do many kinds of work. For example, computers can helps us do maths problems quickly. Some problems are too hard for us to work them out, but computers can. A scientist can ask computers some questions, and the computers can answer on the screen.

In a car-factory computer tells the robots how to do with the cars.

Computers are very useful. So many parents buy computers for their children. They hope computers can help them improve their studies in school, but some children don’t do as what parents want them to do. Because they used the computers for surfing on the Internet and spend too much time playing computer games instead of learning. It does not good for their eyesight. So their parents complain about computers not help children to study but also make them fall behind.

In many companies computers instead of workers to work. So many people lose their jobs. So many workers think computers bring them a lot of trouble.

If computers are good for us or bad for us it’s hard to say so I hope computers will be used in the right way.

天蓝白云伴，风轻阳光暖。白的叶，绿的草，专属于美好的绿色校园。当我们正做着自己的事的时候，是否曾设想有一天我们将失去这个美丽的校园?

Meaning of Life Life is important to anyone in the world. But what the life

mean is not clear to anyone on the earth.

What is the meaning of life? Someone thinks that life is working and

working. They think that they dont need to know anything outside the field of

their specializations, so they dont care about many things such as sports,

entertainment, music...

Life is more than working. Of course working is important to our life,

because it supports oppotunity to get money, and make our life better. However,

working is not enough to life. As a human in todays society, he or she should

know much more knowledge than his or her own field. The knowledge outside ones

specialization can help him or her build up the moral sense.

The meaning of life is difficult to explain. No one can give the clear

identification of it. But the life is not difficult. The meaning of life is to

devote. If anyone in the world is ready to devote, the life of the world will be

more beautiful.

The Chinese character "fu" (meaning blessing or happiness) is a must. The character put on paper can be pasted normally or upside down, for in Chinese the "reversed fu" is homophonic with "fu comes", both being pronounced as "fudaole." Whats more, two big red lanterns can be raised on both sides of the front door. Red paper-cuttings can be seen on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious meanings may be put on the wall.

People attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve. At that time, all family members eat dinner together. The meal is more luxurious than usual. Dishes such as chicken, fish and bean curd cannot be excluded, for in Chinese, their pronunciations, respectively "ji", "yu" and "doufu," mean auspiciousness, abundance and richness. After the dinner, the whole family will sit together, chatting and watching TV. In recent years, the Spring Festival party broadcast on China Central Television Station (CCTV) is essential entertainment for the Chinese both at home and abroad. According to custom, each family will stay up to see the New Year in.

After 5.12 earthquake struck sichuan province since 2008, we, I was so frightened by an earthquake, I felt the earthquake many houses will be apart, can let many people lost their lives, is one of the worlds most terrible disaster. Today I saw "China childrens encyclopedia, really know anything about earthquake.

It turns out that the earthquake happened all of a sudden the vibration phenomenon, like the wind, rain, is a kind of common natural phenomena. Vibrations in the earth, in fact, very frequently, probably every 30 seconds there will be time, but most of them are very ease, people did not feel. We can feel the earthquake is due to the relative movement between earths tectonic plates, rock is squeezed, produce a huge amount of energy to make rock failure in an instant, or make originally the already existing fracture activity, suddenly release a large amount of energy, and some of the energy to the earths surface, make the earth trembling violently, causing strong earthquake. Started happening earthquake site is called the source, the source above the ground is called the epicenter, the ground of the devastating earthquake is the most strong place is called the magistoseismic area, while the magistoseismic area often is the place where the epicenter. When the earthquake occurred, the source of shock wave in the earths crust to all directions called seismic waves. Seismic waves hit the ground, the result will be a disaster.

We Chinese people are very smart, as early as the eastern han dynasty, there is a man named zhang heng scientists invented to measure the earthquake Hou Feng seismograph, and our modern scientists are generally measured the spread of seismic wave speed with the help of a seismograph, the place and time of the earthquake.

Know the earthquake knowledge, learning even before the earthquake early warning and self protection method, I think, to know that knowledge is very useful for our own.

自从2008年我们四川发生5.12大地震之后，我就特别害怕地震，我觉得地震会震垮很多房屋，会让许多人失去生命，是世界上最可怕的灾难。今天我看了《中国少年儿童百科全书》后，才真正知道地震是怎么回事。

原来，地震是突然间发生的大地震动现象，就像刮风、下雨一样，是一种很普遍的自然现象。地球上的震动实际上非常频繁，大概每30秒种就会有一次，但大多数都非常缓和，人们都没有感觉。我们能感觉到的地震是由于地球板块之间产生相对运动，岩石层受到严重挤压，产生巨大的能量使岩石在瞬间发生断裂，或者使原来已经存在的断裂突然活动，释放出大量能量，而其中一部分能量传到地球表面，使大地剧烈地颤动，从而引起强烈地震。地震开始发生的地点称为震源，震源上方的地面称为震中，破坏性地震的地面最烈处称为极震区，而极震区往往就是震中所在的地方。地震发生时，震源发出的在地壳中传向四面八方的冲击波称为地震波。地震波冲击到地面，就会引发灾难。

我们中国人非常聪明，早在东汉时期，就有一位叫张衡的科学家发明了用来观测地震的侯风地动仪，而我们现代的科学家也一般都借助地震仪来测量地震波的传播速度，判断地震发生的地点和时间。

知道了地震知识以后，还要学习地震发生前的提前预警和自我保护方法，我想，了解到这些知识对我们自己是非常有用的。
