篇5:初三年级英语作文:Private car

全文共 1308 字

+ 加入清单

Nowadays, any Chinese can enjoy the luxury of owning a private car - if he or she can afford it. Having a car of your own means no more traveling to work on crowded buses or subway trains, and you can drop off the children at school on the way. Moreover, it also means that you can enjoy the weekends and holidays better, because with a car you can go to places where the regular buses and trains do not go, and so you can find a quiet scenic spot with no crowds.

However, there are drawbacks to owning a car. For one thing, with the increase in car ownership in recent years, the roads are becoming more and more crowded, often making the journey to work more of a nightmare than a dream. For another, it is not cheap to run a car, as the prices of gasoline and repairs are constantly rising, not to mention the prices you have to pay for a licence and insurance coverage.

Having considered both sides of the argument, I have come to the conclusion that the advantages of owning a car outweigh the disadvantages. Therefore, it seems to me that China should increase its output of automobiles and enlarge the private car market. The result would be that cars would become cheaper, while at the same time the extra demand would encourage the auto industry to produce more efficient and family-oriented vehicles.

Mid-Autumn Day. It is one of the most important traditional festivals in China.

The moon is the brightest this night. People ate the delicious food while they were enjoying a beautiful full moon in their yard. At this time, some old people would like to tell many past events and tell the children a story about the rabbit. The children really believed that there was a rabbit on the moon. They wanted to go to the moon and have a look one day.

The first one is listening skills . I think doing lots of listening practice is a great way to improve listening skills. Maybe you could buy some English tapes or borrow your teacher’s tapes to listen .

The second on is speaking skills. How can we practice our spoken English ? I think the first and the most important thing is to believe yourself . Your should often encourage yourself , then you can join an English –language club and make lots of conversations with you partner . I think it can help a lot.

The third one is reading skills. I think we should do more reading in our free time. If you have any problems when you are reading , you’d better ask others tof help.

The last one is wring skills. It’s very important for us to learn English . I think keeping a diary in Engish is the best way to improve your writing skills.

是否每个人都能和家人吃这顿团团圆圆的饭呢?我看不一定,有许多不平凡的岗位还需要我们平凡的人。当我们正在家里与家人团团圆圆吃着晚饭时,他们却还要在岗位上工作。这便是他们的奉献精神,这一点非常值得我们深思。

记得在去年中秋节的时候,那天晚上,我刚吃完饭,爸爸说:“我们去哪里玩一玩吧”我说:“随便吧。”在一旁的弟弟便要吵得要去秋水广场,爸爸说:“那就去秋水广场吧”来到广场附近,拿真是人挤人啊!我心想:“还不如待在家呢!”没办法,来都来了。我们一行人,走着,挤着好不容易到中心广场,咦?人呢?我向后一看,怎么转眼就不见了啊?唉!这么多人去那找啊?我四周寻觅着,突然看见一个七八岁的小朋友坐在一边,想哭却又哭不出来似的,我便跑了过去,对他说:“小朋友,怎么啦?”他说:“我和爸爸走丢了。”一听这话,唉,我们还真是一样,我便陪着她坐在一旁等,拿小朋友说:“呢有手机吗?我知道我爸爸的电话。”我说:“我没有”刚说完,那小朋友就哭了,唉,没办法。我对他说:“别哭了,我带你去傍边的超市去打吧。”

我牵着他又挤进了人群,往超市方向挤去,他好像因为和他爸爸妈妈走丢了,手拉的特别的紧,终于,我们气喘吁吁的到了公用电话亭,于是他报了电话号码,我打了过去:“喂”,对方传来了非常急切的声音,我便说:“你好,你的孩子走丢了,现在你快到对面的超市来找他”那边传来了喜出往外的声音“谢谢,你啊,谢谢”。

随即,他父母便把他带走了,还对我连声道谢,后面,我也打了电话给老爸。

唉,你看,虽然费了一番周折,但还是算做了一件好事吧。心里还蛮开心的。

这时便又想起苏东坡的“水调歌头”,这时好像又似乎感悟到了另一番感觉。

每到这一天来临的时候。天中云雾稀少,月亮显得格外的亮,格外的圆。家家户户欢聚一堂,甜滋滋的赏着月亮吃着月饼,到处弥漫着欢声笑语。

夜空中挂着一轮明月,好似一个大玉盘,多么美的月亮啊!皎洁又明亮。看着看着,我仿佛走近了月亮,看到了美丽的嫦娥,她手里抱着一只雪白雪白的兔子,恐怕就是那只传说中的玉兔吧,有了玉兔的陪伴,嫦娥是否也没有那么寂寞了?回过神来,我吃起了月饼。可不知为什么吃着吃着怎么心中有一丝悲意,似乎在耳边响起了一首歌:明月几时有,把酒问青天。人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺,此事古难全,但愿人长久,千里共婵娟。这首歌的情怀流入我的心头,一股对亲人的无尽思念从心中不断流出。不知天堂爷爷是否也在吃着月饼?是否也在天空中的某处想念着我们?是否也知道我们对他的思念?此刻,我也想对我所有的亲人们说一句:“我爱你们,中秋快乐!”

月亮很害羞的用面纱盖住了自已的脸蛋,过了很久,才露出自已明亮的脸。我抬起头来望月,勾起了我对月亮的无尽遐想。

细细的品着月饼,看着赏月的家人,一切都那么美好。我爱那圆圆的月亮,更爱我的家人,我爱你中秋!

The Mid-Autumn Festival has all interesting history. Long ago in one of the

dynasties of China there was a king who was very cruel to the people and did not

manage the country well. The people were so angry that some brave ones suggested

killing the king. So they wrote notes telling about the meeting place and time

and put them into cakes.

On the 15th day of the 8th lunar month every person was told to buy the

cakes. When they ate them they discovered the notes. So they gathered together

to make a sudden attack on the king. From then on the Chinese people celebrate

on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month and eat moon cakes in memory of that

important event.

When the Mid-Autumn Festival is near, shop windows are beautifully

decorated. Many moon cakes are displayed for people to buy. People send presents

such aswine, fruits and moon cakes to their friends and relatives. In the

evening of the day, they have a feast. After the feast, they go out to the

garden to look at the moon. The children run and laugh on the streets.

It is believed that the moon is at her brightest on this night. Many poems

have been written about it, and poets are never tired of reading and writing

such poems. In Chinese literature, the moon of the Mid Autumn Festival has been

compared to a looking-glass, a jade rabbit, and so on. It seems that Chinese

literature takes far more interest in the moon than in the sun.
