这只小白狗是姐姐的朋友给我的，我抱着这雪白的大狼回家，放在客厅里，它伸着爪子好像要和我握手似的！

狗的耳朵竖直，似兔子。姐姐的朋友告诉我：养他就等于养了一只顺风耳，因为它的听力特别好。后来我看果然如此：凡是一点动静，它也能听得清清楚楚；甚至我光脚下地，狗必然飞奔过来，不亚于兔子。

狗的嗅觉更是灵敏了。大体上与白狮相似，但白狮的嗅觉没有狗好。狗的鼻子灵敏，闻这闻那，像一个没见过世面的狗子。它常闻完一个东西就想吃，吃完又不吐出来；有时非但不吐，还咬人！

狗的性格常常使我们感到神奇，我们的狗是会吃醋，每当爸爸下班的时候，我和狗都会找爸爸抱，看见我趴在爸爸的背上，它就不让，不停地用爪子扒拉我。后来我下来了，它上去了。对妈妈也是这样。

晚上我们说带它出去玩，它常就咧着嘴笑，露出舌头。如果我们说不出去了，它马上苦找脸，耳朵以0。01秒速度耷拉下来，然后转过头回房间找爸爸告状去了。

吃饭时如果给它肉，它就赶紧接着，我姐说：有毒！它立马就把肉给吐了，之后一步一步生气地走向走廊，好像在抗议：为什么给我吃有毒的东西？是不是不爱我了？我们怎么叫，它都不理我们，三天后气才消。

哈哈，真是一只古灵精怪的小狗。

meet.

巴金曾说过：“友情在我过去的生活里就像一盏明灯，照彻了我的灵魂，使我的生存有了一点点光彩。”

在我眼中，朋友就是我的生活中不可缺少的一部分。陈慧馨，你使我知道什么是智者的仁慈，你使我懂得什么是善良与宽容。你让我知道天真和成熟，你也曾引发我思考，激起我创作的热情。你用诗一样的语言让我感觉生活的浪漫，你用月亮般的柔光让我感知夜色的宁静。

陈慧馨，你使我知道什么是友谊，你使我懂的我们要团结友谊，才能办好事。

陈慧馨，谢谢你们在我失败绝望的时候给了我一句温暖的话语，让我的世界多了份阳光，少了份阴霾。

陈慧馨，你就像冬天里的一束阳光，带给了我温暖；

陈慧馨，你就像沙漠里的一条小溪，带给了我凉爽；

陈慧馨，就像雷雨后的美丽彩虹，带给了我鼓励……

谢谢你在我遭受责骂误会的时候给了我一个笑脸，为我的天空挂上了彩虹，摄下了一幅最美的画面。

谢谢你在我没带东西时，为我送上希望的东西，画下了最美的风景。

谢谢你在雨天为我撑伞，为我遮风挡雨；谢谢你们在阳光灼热的时候拉着我一起坐在树阴下乘凉……

谢谢你！

陈慧馨你像一根火柴，光亮虽然微弱，却照亮了你迷茫的道路；朋友是救生圈，在你挣扎呛水的时刻套在你的身上；朋友让彼此的心不再寂寞，朋友好比冬日里的阳光，无论何时看到都会暖洋洋、亮光光。

感谢你，我的朋友，我最失意的时候，是你们让我重见阳光的温暖。信任的目光，成了我瞬间的永恒。感谢你们，让我拥有这么多爱，所以，即使痛，也要上扬着嘴角。

拥有时，不会假想失去时的情景。但失去后，却会想象曾经拥有的日子，所以，我更要加倍珍惜你们，就让我们在蔚蓝的天空下，一起沐浴我们的友谊之花！

我要感谢的人还有很多很多，是这两个朋友带给我希望，让我敞开心扉，把我从孤独中解救出来。在此，我要衷心地说一声：“谢谢你们，我的朋友。“

Zang gram house once said: "reading a good book, like made a friend." And I made friends with books when I was three years old.

I have been in the kindergarten at the age of three, with the support of the teacher I learned a lot of Chinese characters, mom and dad often buy some to read a book to me. At six years old, I began to read comic books and story books, I read a book, not only the contents of the book also bold, word for word read to mom and dad. Dont know if they met in the book of the words, I will put in a little book, such as mom and dad come back, I will pass it to mom and dad, let them to teach me how to read.

So I know the word more and more, the scope of the study is becoming more and more widely.

Now, I not only have a fairy tale, comic books in the bookcase, KeJiShu, and one of my favorite novels: turn the water margin ", "three kingdoms", "historical records", "journey to the west", etc.

I may see it and forget all about eating and sleeping.

Remember once, I with relish looking at books in the study, the mother has to call me to dinner, but I already immersed in the "colorful" books. Which also could hear her voice, then mother raised his voice, to shout a few times in a row, but I havent heard. Mother is angry, she angrily pushed open the door to vigorously to I scold a way: "have a meal!" I just woke up from the books. When the mother will say to me a lot of words: "fascinated reading dont take it too, so, next time will have to watch your ass..."

Time flies like an arrow, the sun is like a boat. I have five grade in a twinkling of an eye. In the few years, accompany me through the countless times; The book let me understand a lot of truth; Book is my best teacher, is also my best friend!

臧克家曾经说过：“读一本好书，就像交上了一个益友。”而我在三岁的时候就和书交上了朋友。

我在三岁就已经上了幼儿园，在老师的呵护下我学会了许多汉字，爸爸妈妈也常常买些识字书给我看。到了六岁，我开始看漫画书和故事书，我不但看书，还大胆的把书中的内容一字一句的读给爸爸妈妈听。如果在书中遇到不认识的字，我就会把记在一个小本子里，等爸爸妈妈回来，我就把它递给爸爸妈妈，让他们教我怎么读。

就这样，我认识的字越来越多，读书的范围也越来越广了。

现在，我的书柜里不仅有童话故事、漫画书、科技书、还有我最喜欢的长篇小说：《水浒转》、《三国演义》、《史记》、《西游记》等。

我看得如醉如痴，废寝忘食。

记得有一次，我在书房里津津有味的看着书，妈妈却来叫我吃饭，可是我早已沉浸在那“五彩缤纷”的书海之中了。哪还听得见妈妈的声音，于是妈妈便提高了声音，一连喊了几声，可是我还没听见。妈妈生气了，她怒气冲冲的地推开房门对我厉声骂道：“吃饭了!”我这才从书海之中醒了过来。这时妈妈便会对我说一大堆的话：“看书别看得那么着迷，下次再这样，就得小心你的屁股了……”

光阴似箭，日月如梭。转眼间我已经五年级了。在这几年里，书陪我走过了无数的岁月;书让我明白了许多道理;书就是我最好的老师，也是我最好朋友!

I have many friend.do you know who they are？are they my pet？no.are they my classmates?no. let me tell you:they are my favourit book.

I like books very much.i like reading science book,cartoonbook so on.not only let me know how wonderful the word is but also teach me how to be a good person in the society,they give me great pleasure.

高考英语作文中经常会出现写信的题材，下面语文迷网为大家整理了一些技巧，供大家阅读。

一、题型特点

改写： 通常情况下，改写类的写作命题可要求考生将一篇对话、留言、信件、电话记录或其他类型的语言材料改写成一篇短文。也有的试题要求考生能够根据所给的提示(汉语或英语)写一篇对话。这类试题大多要求考生将试题所提供的语言材料的主要内容，以记叙文的形式表达出来。试题可以规定考生以第几人称的形式来叙述这件事情，并且规定了一定的词数。

缩写： 这类命题通常要求学生将一篇较长的文章，缩写成一篇短文。这类命题通常要求学生把握原文中的主要内容，并且用自己的语言将其叙述出来。这类试题一般都会规定词数的范围。

续写： 这类试题通常给出了一件事情或一个故事的开头，要求考生根据自己的想象，将这件事情或故事写完整，使其结构完整，情节的发展自然合理。

扩写： 扩写实际上是改写的一个方面。这类命题要求考生能够依据所给定的较为简短的语言材料，扩写成为一篇符合字数要求的文章。这类试题一般来讲也对文章的字数或其它的方面作出了要求。

回信： 这类试题所提供的材料通常是英语信件的形式，要求考生能够根据所给信件的内容及回信中必须包含的要点写一封回信。

二、 写作 技巧

1. 认真审题，把握要求。 在审题的过程中，应注意把握试题所提供的条件、要求(通常以文字的形式出现)、体裁、词数、人称形式等。

2. 细读材料，把握中心。 一般说来，所给出的试题材料都是围绕一个中心展开的。它讲述的通常是一个小故事或小事件。这个小故事或小事件就是这我们所要表述的中心。

3. 初步构思，考虑用词。 在把所握文章的中心后，形成一个基本的框架，再考虑使用恰当的词语，包括恰当的短语和句型，以充分地表达文章的内容。在用词方面，应尽可能地充分利用所学的短语或句型，还应注意适当使用高级词汇、复杂的结构等，这在近年的高考阅卷过程中反复强调了这一点。

4. 联词成句，组段成文。 运用适当的单词或短语正确表达文章中各个要点。然后使用正确的过渡词将单个的句子来连接起来。连接时，要注意使用适当的连接词语或过渡性语句，以使语句间的联系更为紧密，过渡更加自然。

A cherry small mouth, a face of dark skin, thin body, there is a pair of small eyes, she is my good friend, Rebecca.

Rebecca is our class "funny king". Remember once, in music class, the teacher released "unfortunately" of music, let a person up unfortunately, suddenly quiet in the class, the students you look at me, I look at you, who also dare not to perform. Suddenly a cry, "let me," we are all back, turned out to be agreement. She walked on stage, twisted up his "lines", this is our class laughed, Rebecca didnt joke you may think, take a first table of the book of the classmate, roll into a ball, on the students "boom" knocked up, his mouth still read something, like a monk qiaomuyu. Rebecca and lifted her clothes, touch the belly said: "thats great!" This is to let the boy didnt dare to look her. Look at the students, some laugh straight is collywobbles, some are rolled out, the teacher also beside laugh.

Rebecca loves singing, but singing is not her funny level is high. After all, "gold no pure gold, no one is perfect! She was singing, as if she broke the music box, old out of tune. Although she sings also pretty into, also think is just the thing, but I sound like Am tone-deaf drake, like "doraemon" fat tiger, which can sing it? But she never CARES, in his own words: xiang chang jiu chang...

This is my partner, I believe he is coming, you will like her.

一张樱桃小嘴，一脸黝黑的皮肤，瘦瘦的身材，还有一双水灵灵的小眼睛，她就是我的好朋友——林明。

林明是我们班的“搞笑大王”。记得有一次，上音乐课时，老师放出《济公》的音乐，让一个人上来演济公，班里一下子安静下来，同学们你看看我，我看看你，谁也不敢上台表演。突然一声“让我来”，我们全部扭回头，原来是林明。她走上台，扭起他那“水蛇腰”，这是我们班哈哈大笑，林明可能觉得还没逗笑大家，就拿起到第一桌同学的书，卷成一团，在那个同学头上“咚咚”的敲了起来，嘴里还念着些什么，就像和尚敲木鱼一样。林明又把衣服撩起，摸着肚皮说：“太爽了!”这下让男生都不敢朝她看。看看同学们，有的笑的直叫肚子疼，有的眼泪都流出来了，老师也在旁边大笑。

林明酷爱唱歌，不过，她唱歌可就没她搞笑的水平高了。毕竟，“金无足赤，人无完人”嘛!她唱起歌来，就像摔坏了的八音盒似的，老跑调。虽然她唱得也挺投入，还自认为挺够味的，可我听起来却像一只五音不全的公鸭，就跟《哆啦A梦》里的胖虎一般，这哪能叫唱歌?可她从来不在乎，用自己的话说：想唱就唱……

这就是我的伙伴，相信他来了，你们一定会喜欢她的。

Zhu__ He is my good friend. She has a pair of big eyes, watery like two big

grapes, and her eyelashes are dense and long, very beautiful. She has black and

beautiful hair, and her little face is always red, like a big apple. She wears a

ponytail every day. Its very cute!

We often play the game of Eagle catching chicken together. At the beginning

of the game, we always use the form of stone, scissors and paper to decide who

is an eagle. Once, when Cheng Rui was an eagle, her movements were very agile. I

blocked left and right, and I did my best to solve the skill. I couldnt protect

my chicken. She caught her. We had a good time every time, and happy laughter

spread all over the campus.

We often run together, jump rope together and draw together... We do a lot

of things together. We are a pair of inseparable good friends.

我们经常一起玩老鹰捉小鸡的游戏，游戏刚开始时，我们总是用石头剪刀布的形式来决定谁当老鹰。有一次，程睿当老鹰，她的动作非常敏捷，我左挡右挡，使尽浑身解术，也保护不了我的小鸡，被她捉住了。我们每次都玩得很开心，欢乐的笑声传遍校园。

我们还经常一起跑步，一起跳绳，一起画画……好多事情我们都一起去做，是一对形影不离的好朋友。

台湾的小朋友：

我是齐齐哈尔市五年级的一名小学生。在中国版图的最南端有一个岛屿，她就是台湾。每当我看到中国地图时，我总会望着台湾幻想一切美好的事物，借此机会，我要对你们倾诉我的心声。

书信千里传友谊，我们把最珍贵的动物?大熊猫，送给你们了，可见大陆同胞有多么迫切希望你们能早日回到祖国的怀抱啊！到那时我们华夏儿女欢聚一堂，多么祥和的画面啊！

我真希望有机会到祖国的宝岛台湾去走一走看一看，我们都是炎黄子孙、我们都是华夏儿女、我们都是龙的传人。我们也非常欢迎你们到大陆来，无论我们是否熟悉、是否了解，请记住我们都是朋友，是血脉相乘的一家人。台湾永远是中国不可分割的一部分。没有台湾中国这个雄鸡无法在世界上充满自信，不回归祖国的怀抱，台湾永远就像无根的野草。

Li Yan, my best friend, is my classmate. She has big eyes. Her long hair is often plained. Sweet smile is often on her face, which makes her more lively.

Li Nan is very clever. She is good at her school subjects. She has won the school scholarship twice. I always take her as my model in study. She tells me that we should make good use of time.

Li Yan is kind-hearted and is always ready to help others. Any student in my class who has trouble in study likes asking her for help. But she doesn’t like others to praise her, because she thinks what she did is ordinary.

I feel proud to have such a friend.

我的挚友

我最好的朋友是我的同学李艳。她有一双大眼睛，长头发梳成了辫子。脸上时常有甜甜的微笑，使她显得更加活泼。

李艳很聪明，学习很好，两次获得学校的奖学金，她是我学习上的榜样。她告诉我说我们应该充分利用时间。

李艳很热心，乐于助人，班里同学学习上有困难，都喜欢找她带忙。但她不喜欢别人夸奖她，因为她认为她做的很普通。

我为拥有这样的好朋友而感到骄傲。

My schoool life is busy and fantastic. First, we have four classes in the

morning and three in the afternoon. We have to get to school before 7:30 because

classmates are friendly and helpful. We also have lots of after-school activies.

Third, our school environment is very beautiful, the teachers all can make their

lesson interesting and instructive. So I like my school life very much.

When I was very young, I could just say “mom, dad”. My mother began to give me some picture books and story books. She let me know how to read those books and told me stories, which were from the story books. Pictures and books were so fresh for me! Though thin and simple, they were full of funny stories and knowledge. They brought me, a little girl, a colorful world.

Parents also bought me a lot of toys at that time, but I liked only books. I always asked my parents for books and asked them to explain the contents(内容) to me. I always asked them a lot of questions: “Why can the bird fly?”, “Why is the sky blue?”, “Why are the leaves green？” and so on. My father told me that books were our good friends and they could help us answer questions. So I liked reading books better, and was thirsty for more knowledge, and always regarded books as my best friends.

Now I am a middle school student. In my free time, I read different books and learn a lot of different, important and interesting knowledge every day.

Books are the sources of wisdom, the sea of the knowledge, the steps towards improvements for human!

Books are my loyal friends！

Old People in America

In the old days,American families were bigger. People had more children,and grandparents and great-grandparents lived with their families. But now, families are smaller, and many old people

live alone. At the same time, Americans are living longer and longer. The number of old people is always growing.

Some old people like to stay in their old homes. They do not want to move from their old homes. They do not want to move from their hometown. They are near their .friends and family. But some do not have a lot of friends. They want to meet new people. They want to live in a quiet place with other people of their age.

A large number of old people are moving to the South. It is warm there. You do not have to walk through the snow in winter,or pay a lot of money for heating.

A large number of old people are moving to the South only for old people. One of these is Sun City, near Phoenix, Arizona. All the families in Sun City must have one person over the age of 50 ,and children under 18 years old cant live there.

美国的老人

以前美国都是大家庭，Old People in America(美国的老人)，四六级写作《Old People in America(美国的老人)》。人们孩子很多，祖父母和曾祖父母都和家人在一起生活。但现在，家庭越来越小，许多老人独自生活。与此同时，美国人越活越长。老年人的数目总在不断增长。

有些老人喜欢呆在他们原来的房子里。他们不愿意从旧房子里搬出来。他们不想离开家乡。他们想住在朋友和家人附近。但是有些老人朋友不多，他们想结交新人，他们想和其他同龄的老人共同居住在一个僻静的地方。

很多老人正在迁往南部，那里天气暖和。冬天的时候不需要在雪中走路，也不需要交大笔取暖费。

很多老人正在迁往只允许老人居住的南部城市。其中之一就是亚利桑那州菲尼克斯附近的太阳城。太阳城居住的所有家庭都必须有一个成员在50岁以上，18岁以下的孩子能住在那里。

Music美国人的音乐爱好

James Fenimore Cooper, an early American writer, once said, "The Americans are almost ignorant of the art of music." If that was once true, you would never know it today. Most Americans——even those without a musical bone in their bodies——have a favorite style of music. Many people enjoy classical and folk music from around the world. But other popular music styles in America were "made in the U.S.A."

一位美国早期的作家柯柏(James Fenimore Cooper)曾说：「美国人对音乐艺术几乎可以说是相当的无知。」如果这话曾经是事实，今日你绝不会这么认为了。大部份的美国人，甚至包括那些没有音乐细胞的人，都有自己喜爱的音乐型态。许多人喜欢世界各国的古典音乐和民俗音乐，然而美国其它的流行音乐则是「在美国制造」的。

Country and western music lies close to the heart of many Americans. This style originated among country folks in the southern and western United States. Country music tells down-to-earth stories about love and lifes hardships. Guitars, banjos and violins——also known as fiddles——give country music its characteristic sound. The home of country music is Nashville, Tennessee——Music City U.S.A. Country music even has its own theme park called "Opryland" where you can enjoy music shows and fun rides. "The Grand Ole Opry," the oldest radio show in the United States, broadcasts country music live from Opryland every weekend.

乡村和西部音乐深得很多美国人的人心，这种型态的音乐起源于美国南部和西部的乡村小民们。乡村音乐传述着真实不加渲染的爱情故事和生活中的艰难。吉他、五弦琴和小提琴(violin又名fiddle)可弹奏出乡村音乐的特殊音色。乡村音乐的发源地是田纳西州的纳许维尔市——美国的音乐城市。而乡村音乐甚至还有它自己的主题乐园——Opryland呢!在那儿你可以享受音乐表演以及好玩的游乐设施。美国最老牌的广播节目「The Grand Ole Opry」每个周末都实况播放Opryland的音乐。

Jazz music, developed by African-Americans in the late 1800s, allows performers to freely express their emotions and musical skill. Instead of just playing the melody, jazz musicians improvise different tunes using the same chords. The peak of jazz music came in the 1920s, known as "The Jazz Era." This period produced musicians like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. These musicians later created the "big band" sounds of the 1930s. Different styles of jazz developed in different cities, such as New Orleans, Chicago, New York and Kansas City. Composer George Gershwin brought jazz into the world of classical music with pieces like "Rhapsody in Blue."

爵士乐是十九世纪末期由非裔的美国人发展出来的。它让表演者自由地表现他们的情感和音乐技巧。不仅演奏旋律，爵士音乐大师用同样的和弦即兴演奏出不同的曲调。爵士乐的高峰期出现于二○年代，该时期被称为「爵士年代」。这个时期创造出来的乐手有阿姆斯特朗(Louise Armstrong)，古德曼(Benny goodman)和埃林顿(Duke Ellington)。这些乐手稍后都创造了三○年代的「大乐团」之音。在不同的城市也孕育出不同的爵士风格，像是纽奥尔良、芝加哥、纽约和坎萨斯市。作曲家盖希文(George Gershwin)更以像「蓝色狂想曲」这样的作品，将爵士乐带入古典音乐的世界里。

As the saying goes, “A friend in need is a friend indeed”. Friends play a very essential role in our daily life. However, how to make goods friends is a problem for most of us. As for me, I have three principles to choose friends.

正如谚语所说的那样，患难见真情。朋友在我们日常生活中扮演着非常重要的角色。然而，如何交到一个好朋友是我们大多数人都遇到过的问题。

In the first place, good friends should have their own principles. We should take into account the fact that people who insist on their principles have high quality. Therefore, it is worth making friends with them.

首先，好朋友应该是有他们自己的处事原则。我们应该认识到这样一个事实，坚持自己原则的人一般都是具有高尚的品格。因此，这样的人值得我们去交朋友。

Then, I want to point out that good friends should be full of trust. This kind of person has a pure heart, so we can communicate with each other by heart.

然后，我想说的是，好的朋友应该是充满真诚的。这样的朋友有一颗赤子之心，我们能用心来彼此交流。

Finally, active friends are just like beautiful sunshine. They can light up our blue mood, drive away the dark clouds and give us courage.

最后，拥有积极心态的朋友就像美丽的阳光。他们能够照亮我们忧郁的心情，驱走乌云，给我们鼓励。

Friends who have above three characteristics will be great wealth for us.

John is the most diligent student in our class.He is one of my friends.As a matter of fact,he gets along with his classmates.He might spend just five to ten minutes talking to you once in a long while,but he talks with enthusiasm and energy,and he likes to share his thinking and ideas with you.He is honest; he does not like to waste his time and energy.He never appears sleepy and tired in the classroom.He always hands in homework on time and also does well in his examinations,yet he has time practicing playing football and his violin skill.I admire him.I hope I can be as diligent as he is; John is persistent,attentive,and energetic.

John是我们班上最勤奋的学生.他也是我的一个朋友.实际上,他和班上的同学相处的都很融洽.也许过好长时间他才只是花5分钟或10分钟和你聊天,但是他的谈话充满了活力和热情,而且他喜欢和你分享他的思想和想法.他是诚实的,他不会无谓的浪费他的时间和精力.在教室里,他从没有显得困倦或是疲惫.他常常会按时交作业,考试中也会取得好成绩,然而他仍会有时间踢足球和练小提琴.我羡慕他,我希望自己能象他那样勤奋.John是个执着、专注、充满活力的人
