给美国的朋友写信 英语作文七年级下册汇集20篇

The Americans are much in love with food. This is part of being American too. Baseball is Americans national pastime1, but whats a ball game without hot dogs, peanuts2 and Cracker Jacks (sweetened popcorn3)? Hollywood is Americas symbol of glamour4 and excitement all over the world, but who would watch a movie in America without asking for an extra large bag of popcorn? And the astronauts took instant orange drink [Tang] with them.

Americans love all kinds of food, Italian, Chinese, Mexican, Greek, French, Japanese and many others. The Americans are in fact

“The UN of Food.”

To get familiar with the American eating custom, one must know two things. First, one must know the sequence5 of service. There is something special in terms of the sequence, or order, of dish service in America compared with ours. Here is the order:

1. Aperitif6—a small cup of alcoholic drink to increase ones appetite7. The host or hostess will ask: “Do you like a cup of aperitif?”

2. Hors doeuvre8—some tasty food offered in small quantities at the beginning of a meal.

3. Appetizer —or called starter, it is a small serving of juice, fruit or seafood or something else, at the beginning of a meal, to stimulate9 peoples appetite.

4. Now the main course is under way:

a) Soup—it is usually the first course in a dinner.

b) Fish—it is usually served after the soup and before the entree10 in a formal meal.

c) Entree—the third course of a meal, generally it is made up of a hot meat.

d) Savory11—the last course in a formal meal, it is something pleasant to eat but with a salty rather than sweet taste.

5. Dessert12 —sweet food served toward the end of a meal, usually it is a pudding, chocolate cake, or cheese and biscuits sometimes.

6. Coffee—thats the last stage in a formal present-day European and American dinner. Its served either at table or in the living room.

In a family treatment, the above-mentioned No 1-3 stage may be omitted13, though No 4 is the essential part. And the main course generally includes no more than 5 dishes of nutrient14 food. Ostentation15 is never under consideration.

Another thing to mention is that serving oneself from ones own plate is popular in Europe and America, except for the soup and bread which is taken and enjoyed according to ones need.

The second one we must know about the American eating custom is the taboos at table.

(1) Dont circle your plate with your arm. If you do so, you will become the focus16 of the table. Everyone would wonder: “Is there anything wrong with the food?” This may give a false message that you dont like the food or something like that.

(2) Dont push the plate back when finished. Leave it where it was. Do you mean to remind17 the hostess that youve just completed a labor?

(3)Dont lean18 back and announce that “Im through” or “Im stuffed19.” Just put the fork and knife quietly across the plate, thats all.

(4) Dont cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two bites20 at a time.

(5) Never take huge mouthfuls of anything. Do you mean to show how hungry you are? Dont do that! Be gentlemanlike or ladylike.

(6) Dont crook21 your finger when picking up a cup or glass. That looks too affected22, far from ladylike!

(7) Never wear too much lipstick23 to the table. It may stain the napkins24 and look gaudy25 and embarrassing on the rims26 of the cup or glass.

(8) Its never acceptable to reach across the table for anything (a serving dish, for example). If the item you want is not at hand, simply ask for the nearest person for help, like “Mrs. Smith, would you mind passing me the butter (or a dish)?”

树上的知了发出鸣叫，高昂，执着，绵长，给原本欢喜的清晨增添了一丝烦恼。

家到学校，轻松的路程我却走得格外沉闷。刚进教室，“你才到!”我刚放下书包，焦急的话语便迅速从我耳边响起，“不见其人先闻其声”是她的真实写照。她撅着嘴，满脸的埋怨，眉头拧成麻花，见我放下书包，两只爪子忙去翻里面的作业本。又不做作业!我急了，让她抄，蒙过一时，蒙不过一世，长此以往，岂不是害了她!我把语数作业本抱在胸前。

“给我用一下嘛，又不是什么大事。”她如川剧的变脸，语气如飘荡的炊烟。

“这是作业，你——”我皱着眉头，推开了她抓着作业本的手，见她翻了个白眼“哼”，硬生生地咽下后半句。她脸如寒冰，一阵风似地走了，又猴急地去问平日里几个关系不错的朋友去借。大家要么说自己没做，要么干脆不借，她只好悻悻回到自己伤感的位置上。

我空落落的，朋友成绩一向不错，新冠肺炎侵袭、网课连绵不断后，偶尔手中多了一部手机，困在了网中央……

六月的天，孙猴子的脸，刚才还万里无云的大晴天，一会儿便乌云摩肩接踵，雷声大作，整个天地都暗了下来，暴雨欲来肆虐石城。

教室里，4人小组讨论进行得十分火热。我和她在一组，作为组长，率先发表了意见：“我认为北极星是不动的……”

“才不是呢，”还没等我说完，她如程咬金，半路杀出截断，抢先大声反驳，“课本上都说了，要是你能活到一千年以后，就会看到北极星所在的位置明显变了!”她面露得意，一本之仇，像怪兽一样吞噬着她的心。

我瞟了她一眼，不紧不慢回应：“同学，我的话没有讲完，还有半句，“这是到目前为止的”，你连话都没有听完，怎么知道我说的是错的呢?”6月债还得好快，我内心充斥着苦闷。她的脸红彤彤的，像熟透的柿子，不知是气的还是急的。

响雷一个接一个炸开来，一道道银白色的闪电好似张牙舞爪的妖怪，天，更沉闷了;大雨倾盆而来。

雷阵雨来的快，去的快。课后，我几番寻寻觅觅向她走近，她像鸟儿一样远去，再也不见我和她一起的身影、一起的欢笑。一丝丝惆怅袭过，旧时忧伤的朋友，你在哪里?

天似洗过的蓝，白色的云朵像绣在蓝毯子上的小花，慢慢的，慢慢的，走在一起;一排鸽子从天上掠过……

I have a best friend, I can only use one word to describe her - thin. Her fingers can be like a bamboo, face on both sides of the narrow if sunken go in, let a person feel she has a cold and lonely, but her personality, on the contrary, she is a kind and brave man, she is my good friend -- small kaori.

One day, she took a walk through in the class, found that there are a lot of garbage on the ground, he picked up the broom swept up. After a while, a classmate came and said to her: "alas! Monitor to this extent, poor thing." He said with a smile: "everybody is responsible for keep the classroom environment health, I am the class monitor, it should be a good start. Even if Im not the monitor, I will do it."

In a short time, the whole class was her clean, I used to ask her: "dont you tired?" She did not cash out in front of me tired, but happy said: "in such a good learning in the classroom, again tired also worth it."

Her behavior and talk made me feel ashamed of myself, I can see so much waste in our class is not clean. Shes right, to do well every classmate, he must do. The composition

My friend is a very sensible monitor, let I touched her helpful phenomena, from here, I know that shes every move add beauty to the class, she let you felt happy because of her presence.

我有一个要好的朋友，我只可以用一个字来形容她——瘦。她的手指可像一枝竹子一样，脸狭两边好像凹了进去，让人觉得她有一种冷漠、孤独的样子，但她的性格恰恰相反，她是一个善良、勇敢的人，她就是我的好朋友——小薰。

有一天，她在班里走了走，发现地上有许多垃圾，便拿起扫把扫起来。过了一会儿，有一个同学走过来对她说：“唉!班长沦落到这种地步啊，真可怜。”他微笑着说：“保持课室环境卫生人人有责，我是这个班的班长，更应该带好头做起。就算我不是班长，我也会这样做。”

不一会儿，整个班被她打扫得干干净净，我过去问她：“你不累吗?”她在我面前没有变现出累的样子，而是开心的说：“能够在一个这样好的教室里学习，再累也值得。”

她的行为和说话让我感到惭愧，我看见我们班这么多垃圾也不清洁一下。她说得对，要每一个同学做好，自己必须做好。作文

我的朋友是一个非常懂事的班长，她乐于助人的现象让我感动，从这里我知道：她的一举一动都为班级增添美丽，她让大家因为她的存在而感到幸福。

我是个小书虫，每到假日的时候，就是我最快乐的时光，因为爸爸妈妈都会带我到中央图书馆消磨一整个下午。

我经常到二楼寻找一本本好书，徜徉在浩瀚无垠的书香世界。图书馆内安静到连一根针掉到地板的声音都听得一清二楚，我也细细品尝那心灵的食宴，淡淡的书香流进心扉，丰富了我的心灵，这时，是多么的快乐啊！

我总是沉浸在书香世界中，翻阅各式各样的书籍。一本科幻小说，带领着我天马行空的想像；一个历史故事，让我回到过去，吸取前人的经验；一则童话故事，引导我走入旖旎的奇幻世界；一本侦探小说，教育我仔细搜查各个蛛丝马迹，成功破案；一本伟人传记，让我体验到他们不屈不挠的精神。

而最脍炙人口的神鬼传奇则是我的最爱。有时在风雨交加的夜晚，滂沱的大雨淅沥哗啦的落在海面上，狂风掀起惊涛骇浪，澎湃汹涌的海浪声以及鬼哭神号的尖叫声，令人胆颤心惊，吓得屁滚尿流。而有时走入了神祕的村庄，空洞洞的房子一片漆黑，只看到随风飘扬的布幔，一个人影也见不着，在不远的小山丘上，还会传来阵阵小朋友玩耍的嬉闹声，杂草被拨乱的痕迹，令人心神不宁，慑人心魄。图书馆真是举世无双的宝库啊！

书传达了人间的喜、怒、哀、乐，描绘出天地间如诗如画的美景。除了能够增广见闻，开阔视野之外，更能够给人更深刻的省思与启发。因此，图书馆一直是我休闲的最佳去处，希望大家也能多到图书馆走走看看，自然就能够深切体认到图书馆的好，让图书馆也成为您的好朋友吧！

I‘ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair， looking at the ink bottle， pens， and white paper， I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.

Years later，during her final illness，Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”， she said， “is for Elizabeth”。

I never saw her angry， never saw her cry. I knew she loved me， she showed it in action. But as a young girl， I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.

They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional”。 But she lived “on the surface”

As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.

I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.

My hope turned to disappointment，then little interest， finally， peace——it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn‘t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it， and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.

Now the present of her desk told me， as she‘d never been able to， that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work， I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside——a photo of my father and a one-page letter， folded and refolded many times.

Give me an answer， my letter asks， in any way you choose， Mother， you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

Nature is great, ecology is complicated, life is a mystery, but we know too little, less than "ephemera to heaven and earth, and are one of the sea corn."

Natural animal, natural plant, all the plants in the natural, natural all life is useful. Their existence is useful. To think of the mother at the sight of the forest, wood; At the sight of the rivers of power; At the sight of the grassland, to think of red meat and cashmere sweater; To think of at the sight of the animal, can eat, can use, can be used as a medicine.

The topic like“what’s a university?” or “what a university should do?” has been discussed many times in every age. Not only educationalists but also students take into it. Is it necessary to give priority to skills and knowledge in university education as they are essential to employers? Or students in universities should have access to all of knowledge just as they have their own sake? Chose A or B, this is a problem.

The value of knowledge itself need to be considered first in university education even though the course is not as practical as skills and technology. In Chinese culture, morality education is always took at first. It said that the way of real learning is to develop and expand virtue, to innovate peoples’ opinions, to get the best goodness. In addition, there are four stages in the success of a gentleman: first, to cultivate his moral characters; second, regulate his own family; third, rule the state successfully; forth, let the world get peace. In Chinese traditional value, students in

university need to develop his morality firstly, though these knowledge is not as useful as other skills after they get a job.

On the other hand, the practicability of a university course is also worth considering, especially in the age when our government call for the attention to skills and technology in university education and when the employees prefer to capacity and practical knowledge of employers. The time in university is limited and conditions and aims of students are different. When students chose which course to learn, it is inevitable for some of them prefer to those which are more needed in workplace.

Universities give equal access to all of knowledge, including the practical courses and others. What’s more, they need give more chance to students to choose what to learn. Congratulate on diversity!

The word, friend, covers a wide range of meanings. It can be a nodding acquaintance, a comrade, a confidant, a partner, a playmate, an intimate colleague, etc.

Everyone needs friendship. No one can sail the ocean of life single-handed. We need help from, and also give help to, others. In modern society, people attach more importance to relations and connections. A man of charisma has many friends. His power lies in his ability to give.

As life is full of strife and conflict, we need friends to support and help us out of difficulties. Our friends give us warnings against danger. Our friends offer us advice with regard to how do deal with various situations. True friends share not only our joys but also our sorrows.

With friendship, life is happy and harmonious. Without friendship, life is sad and unfortunate. I have friends in high positions and friends in the rank and file. Some are rich and in power. Some are relatively poor and without power. Some are like myself, working as a teacher, reading and writing, content with a simple life. We all care for each other, love and help each other. We feel we are happiest when we chat and exchange ideas with one another. With my friends, I know what to treasure, what to tolerate and what to share.

I will never forget my old friends, and Ill keep making new friends. I will not be cold and indifferent to my poor friends, and I will show concern for them, even if it is only a comforting word.

[参考译文]

“朋友”这个词的意义很广。朋友可以是点头之交、同志、知已、伙伴、玩伴、亲密的同事等。

人人都需要友谊，没有人能独自在人生的海洋中航行。我们给人以帮助，也需要别人的帮助。在现代社会，人们更重视关系和联系。一个有非凡魅力的人有许多朋友，他的力量在于他的奉献能力。

生活充满矛盾和斗争，我们需要朋友的支持，以帮助我们摆脱困境。朋友提醒我们警惕险滩。朋友主动给我们以忠告，告诉我们如何应付各种不同的局势。真正的朋友与我们同甘共苦。

有了友谊，生活幸福、和谐；没有友谊，生活变得悲伤、不幸。我有地位高的朋友，也有地位低的朋友；有的有钱有权，有的较穷且无权无势。有的和我一样教书，读读写写，满足于简朴的生活。我们都互相关心，互相爱护，互相帮助。我们觉得朋友们在一起闲谈交流思想时感到最开心。对我的朋友们，我知道该珍惜什么，容忍什么，分享什么。

我决不会忘记老朋友，同时继续结交新朋友。我对穷朋友绝不冷漠，而是关心他们，哪怕只是一句安慰的话。

Caucus goers met at sites around the state to show support for their candidate and be counted in the first contest of the 2016 Presidential nominating cycle.

This year the Iowa caucuses drew many first-time caucus-goers.

John Clark is one of them. He says that he took the time to caucus in order to make his voice heard.

"I feel like its part of being American as you get the chance to do this, you get the chance to say what you believe in, and have a voice and vote."

Thanking his supporters, Ted Cruz relished in a major victory over Donald Trump, the national poll leader.

"Iowa has sent notice that the republican nominee in the next president of the United States will not be chosen by the media, will not be chosen by the Washington establishment, will not be chose by the lobbyists but will be chosen by the most incredible power for force where all sovereignty resides in our nation by we the people, the American people."

Trump is a controversial figure among Iowa voters.

"I think he can bring the rights to change the government back to the people."

"I can say I will not be supporting Trump. Our views just dont agree. I believe in equality and respect for all people and I dont think he does."

Despite a disappointing second place finish for the often bombastic real-estate mogul, Trump was gracious in conceding defeat.

"I am really honored. And I want to congratulate Ted and I want to congratulate all of the incredible candidates including Mike Huckabee."

Analysts say that Florida Senator Marco Rubio is likely to enjoy increased momentum going forward.

Rubio finished a solid third, just one percentage point behind Trump but well ahead of the rest of the GOP field.

Hillary Clinton endured a nail-biter of a night that finished in a virtual tie with Bernie Sanders.

Clinton says she will keep fighting on in her address to supporters.

"I want you to know I will keep doing what I have done my entire life. I will keep standing up for you. I will keep fighting for you. I will always work to achieve the America that I believe in where the promise of that dream that we hold out to our children and our grandchildren never fades but inspires generations to come. Join me, lets go win the nomination."

Although for many, tonight is just the beginning of a long slog to the two major parties national conventions in August, it also marks the end of the line for candidates who failed to gain traction.

Two contenders: Maryland Governor Martin OMalley and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, dropped out after poor showings today in Iowa.

So I pretended not to hear, not to her.

After class, angry, I also wrote a piece of paper, says she has no hands. But soon, I will regret it, Zhang Zheyu just asked me to help her pick up the pen, ou spirit how can I talk to her? I was about to go apologize to her, but I found that there is a pink pencil case paperboard, it says, I know your work was damaged, I have a double-sided adhesive can lend it to you...

Looked at her silk show words, my face burning hot, at this moment, must be better than the rising sun is red.

在三年级时，我认识了一个叫张哲玉的女孩，别看她的名字不太起眼，可她很可爱呢!她有一双水汪汪的大眼睛，仿佛会说话似的，充满了灵气。她有一条特别长的辫子，乌黑漂亮。她的性格开朗极了，不时会逗得人哈哈大笑。很快我们就成为了好朋友。

有一次，在图画课上，我好不容易画完的作品被同桌不小心弄破了，正憋着火气没处撒。这时，张哲玉的一支笔掉在了地上，滚到了我的椅子下面。她让我帮她捡一下笔。我生气极了，我的作品被弄破了，她还有心情让我帮她捡笔?于是，我装作没听见，没有理她。

下课后，怒气冲冲的我，还写了一张纸条，说她没有手。可不久，我就后悔了，张哲玉只不过是让我帮她捡笔嘛，我怎么能跟她怄气呢?我正想去给她道歉，可我发现文具盒中有一条粉红色的卡纸，上面写着：我知道你的作品被弄坏了，我有双面胶可以借给你……

看着她绢秀的文字，我的脸滚烫滚烫的，这时，一定比初升的太阳还红。

the average family income of the u.s.a. has increased from 20,000 dollars per year in 1992 to 25,000 in 20xx. along with this considerable increase in people’s income, the way in which the average family spends its income has also varied to some extent. the average expenditure of family income is divided into several sectors, namely, housing, clothing, food and drink, transport, medical care, entertainment, savings and other items.

from the table, it is quite interesting to find that the money spent on some sectors such as food and drink (2%) and entertainment (6%) in 1992 and 20xx remains the same. for transport, the percentage of 20xx is only 1% larger than that of 1992. it is also worth mentioning that in 20xx, people tend to save less money than in 1992 because people deposit only half the money they used to in 1990. there is a greater increase in the expenses on housing and medical care, increasing by 8% and 6% respectively. on the other hand, people tend to spend less money on clothes, for there is a 5% decrease in 20xx compared with that in 1992. as far as other items are concerned, there is a sharp decrease in the percentage of family income spent on them, accounting for only 7% of the total.

it can be seen from the statistics that in american people’s life food and drink, entertainment and transport had always been important. with family income increasing, american people began to give first priority to housing and medical care, thereby improving their living conditions and invigorating health. by saving less, they presented to us the implication that they expected a fairly secure prospect.
