我叫_X，今年12岁了，我在山东省博兴县湖滨镇寨卞村小学五年级读书，我呀，是一个热情开朗阳光自信的小女生，平时没什么爱好，不过一到了晚上，我就开始看一些作文书，导致现在眼睛不好。

我有些优点，也有些缺点。我先给你说说我的优点吧!优点1：我很受同学们的喜爱，为什呢?是因为我经常都同学笑呀。优点2：我非常喜欢看书。优点3：我在家里写完了作业，我哪也不去，就在床上看作文书，别人找我玩，我偶尔出去玩一下。好了，优点都说完了。该说说缺点了!缺点1：我很懒，妈妈叫我做什么我都不去做。缺点2：一去玩我就腿摔伤。缺点3：每次考试不该错的却错，害得我每次都考90多分，从不考100分……我玩的时候像疯了一样，怪不得我每一次回来的时候都有伤啊!有一次我的同学—泥鲁莹哭了，我问她怎么了，她不说，我就想了一个办法，结果她哈哈大笑。我能安慰人，也能把别人惹哭了。

我是一个热情开朗，阳光自信的小女生。

我的家乡是一个美丽的小村庄，那里有许多美丽的景色。

春天，路边会开出许多美丽的鲜花，五彩缤纷，大树长出了嫩绿的叶子，小草从地缝中探出了脑袋，仰望着大地。看见田里农民伯伯正在播散春天的种子，还可以听到小鸟的歌唱声。

夏天，天气渐渐的炎热起来，大树也开始变得茂盛起来，老爷爷和老奶奶经常会在树下纳凉，知了在树上不知疲倦的叫着，似乎是唱着夏天的赞歌。小朋友们结束了紧张的学习生活，黄昏之后常常在广阔的田野里放着风筝，或是一大帮小朋友在山脚下的小溪边游泳嬉戏，真是天然的泳池啊。

秋天最美丽的地方就是田野，放眼望去，金灿灿的一片稻谷沉甸甸在压在稻上，一阵风吹来，田野上似乎荡起了金色的波纹。看，不远处的山坡上桔树上结满了一盏盏小小的灯笼。别看是小小的桔子，里面饱含着伯伯们的辛勤的汗水。

冬天是我最喜欢的季节了，因为它会下雪。每当洁白的雪花从天飘飘扬扬地飞下来，是我最激动的时侯，雪姑娘把大地装扮的美丽无瑕，放眼望去，到处都是一片白雪的世界，连以前一片漆黑的烟囱口也是穿上白白的外衣，房顶上，田野里，山坡上都披上了厚厚的棉袄。这时小朋友更是高兴了，出去堆雪人，打雪仗，田野里，街道上到处荡漾着他们欢快的笑声。

这就是我美丽的家乡。

The summer vacation had come round again。 I was happy that I could forget about school at least for a while。 Lest I fool around all through this summer vacation， I made a plan as to how to spend it。 First， I thought I should go over all those things my teachers taught in the previous term so that I could have a better understanding of them。 Then I thought I should take up some forms of exercise， such as walking， running rowing， to keep me physically strong。 It stood to reason that with such a good plan I should make the best of my vacation time。 I did， because I lived up to what I had planned。

Thanksgiving Day

In the United States， the fourth Thursday in November is called Thanksgiving Day。 On that day， Americans give thanks for the blessings they have enjoyed during the year。Thanksgiving Day is usually a family day。 People always celebrate with big dinners and happy reunions。 Pumpkin pie and Indian pudding are traditional Thanksgiving desserts。 Relatives from other cities， students who have been away at school， and many other Americans travel a long distance to spend the holiday at home。

The walls are white and blue. The curtains are blue too. There is a big

window on the wall, so my bedroom is also very bright. There are some photos on

the wall. They’re very beautiful.

In the middle of the room, there is my bed. It’s not so big, but it’s very

comfortable. Every night, I lay on the bed and have a good dream.

On the right of the bed, there is my desk and chair. They’re in front of

the window. My computer is on the desk. There is a lamp on the desk, too. I can

do my homework here and play computer games.

My bookshelf is on the left of the bed. There are a lot of storybooks and

picture books in the shelf. I like them very much.

Not everyone has a bedroom. I’m very lucky, because I have a very beautiful

bedroom. I’ll try my best to keep it clean and tidy.

曾有人这样说过：“天堂有多美，好美里就有多美”，好美里，一个光听地名就够吸引人的地方，这是我的家乡。没错！想当然这里会是一个好美丽的好所在。 村里的长辈曾经告诉我们，好美里本来的名字叫做虎尾寮，因为地形看起来像是老虎的尾巴，所以称它为虎尾寮，后来人民觉得虎尾寮这个名字不雅，也因为谐音很相似于是改名叫做好美里。

养殖是我们这儿赖以维生的生活方式，白天的好美是充满活力的，清晨时，小朋友们背着书包开心的准备上学去，庙口外面早就聚集了早起的外公、奶奶，有的下棋、有的悠闲的聊着天，或是做做运动，他们热情的互 相打着招呼，耳边传来的是阵阵摊贩的叫卖声，道路的两旁则是妇女们蹲在小板凳上辛勤的剥着牡蛎，每一颗饱满的蚵ㄚ都肥嘟嘟的令人垂涎欲滴，村里的男人们也出门去巡视鱼塘了，每个人都有自己该忙碌的事情在做。

黄昏的好美充满着绚丽的色彩，红红的夕阳像是颗橘红色的大皮球，照映在海面上呈现了多彩的样貌，我喜欢在夕阳下打球痛快的流着汗，直到听到妈妈用高八度的声调呼喊着：“婉ㄚ，该回家吃饭了”，这时我才心满意足的回到我温暖的家享受妈妈今天用爱心准备的晚餐。

夜晚的好美像是一位神祕的少女，一畦一畦的鱼塘，在月光下反射出好多个月影，美得让人不得不停下脚步好好的欣赏一番，“千江有水千江月”大概描写的就是这儿独特的景色，坐在鱼塘旁望着一个一个的月影，仔细的数着一个、两个、三个……有好多好多的月亮，想像着当时作者写景时浓浓的家乡情怀。

另外值得一提的是我们好美里的后花园–红树林自然保护区。红树林里住着许多珍贵的红树科植物外，还有走路不好好走却总是喜欢活蹦乱跳的弹涂鱼大哥、头上顶了一颗大光头的和尚蟹、全身白透透的清白招潮蟹它们让红树林充满了坚韧的生命力。

我的家乡是一个充满着浓浓的人情味与生命力的地方，在这儿你可以发现大自然中的惊奇及风貌，更可以体验它不同的人文特色，我想这就是我心里的桃花源，我觉得能住在这儿好荣幸也好幸福﹗

I like drawing. It does bring me happiness. As a kid I was keen on those

lines and curves drawn on paper made into animals and scenes.

It really could show beauty to people and express my feelings. And then I

took a course so that I could get close to it and see it well.

But at that time I just did it for fun. Years went by I got into a long

period of time filled with pressure in study. And I found it so good a way to

relax.

It did not any longer play an unimportant role in my living but bacame my

friend. Since that time I have felt it like a nice person deep in my heart who

can talk with me with true words and make me happy with life.

This is my hobby not just a hobby but also a true friend.

Recently we have held a class meeting to discuss what is considered to be

honorable behavior and what is shameful. It is really a pity to see all this in

our school.Some students dont respect their teachers or parents.Some dont take

their studies seriously and cheat in exams.Some throw wastes everywhere and

pollute the environment .It is honorable to obey the law and rules , care much

about our class and study hard.It is shameful to break school rules, to be

selfish or to make little effort to achieve success.We should respect others and

think more of them than of ourselves.We should work hard and make much more

progress to repay the society. We should try our best to keep the environment

clean。

My bedroom is not big but it is bright. Becauseeveryday the sunshine will come in. my bedroom is very simple. There just is abed, a desk and a wardrobe.

But I never feel my bedroom is empty, because it isthe place belongs to myself and full of my passion.

When I feel happy, I canlaugh in my bedroom. When I am sad, I can cry in it. I know that no one willbother me, as it is my private place. And every morning the sunshine comes in, Ifeel warm in my heart just seems that I see my promising future. I like mybedroom.

我的卧室不大但是很明亮。因为每天的阳光会照射进来。我的卧室很简单。这只有一张床，一张桌子和一个衣柜。但我从不觉得我的卧室是空的，因为它是属于我自己的地方，充满了我的喜怒哀乐。当我感到高兴，我可以在我的卧室大笑。当我感到伤心时，我可以在我的卧室里面哭。我知道没有人会来打扰我，因为这是我的私人地带。每天清晨的阳光照射进来时，我感到我的心都暖起来了，就像看到了我充满了希望的未来。我喜欢我的卧室.

[初中英语作文：我的卧室

dear eric,

My hometown is beautiful place It stands near a wide river at the foot of low green hills. It has many tall buildings and wide streets. There are trees and flowers everywhere.

But it has not always been like that. In the old days, it was a sad dirty little town. Landlords and merchants lived in the few good houses. For the working people there were only dark, unhealthy rooms in old buildings and huts in narrow muddy streets. Nearly everyone was poor and many had no work.

Everything has changed since liberation. The people, led by the Party, have got rid of the mud and dirt. They have put up schools, theaters, shops and flats. They have an assembly hall and a hospital. Along the river they have built offices, hotels and parks. A lot of factories have sprung up. On the river, streamers and boats come and go busily, day and night. They carry the products of our industries to all parts of the country.

I love my hometown, and I love its people. They also have changed. Healthy and happy, they are going all out to build socialism.

I am the only child in my family, so my parents give me all the things I

want. I feel so satisfied with the life I owned. One day, I came to my friends

birthday party. After she made a wish and blew the candle, I couldnt wait

eating the cake. I took a piece of cake quickly and enjoyed the delicious

flavor. Suddenly, I saw my friend was splitting the cake and heading it to

others. Seeing my friends sharing the things together, I realized I should ask

their opinions. Since then, I learned an important lesson. Sharing promotes

communication and creates a harmonious environment.

As a student, my main target is to study well and then make progress step

by step. When holiday comes, it is time for me to play, and I should be happy,

while playing all the time makes me feel empty in my heart. I have done nothing

at all. I want to do something meaningful to enrich my life. So a target is

needed for me. I set a small goal, such as, read a book, or help my mother with

her work. Everytime when I finish my target, I will feel so satisfied. The

meaningful life is to do something useful and make you feel happy.

A Visit to the Flower Show

Last week Nature Park held a flower show. I went to visit it with my friends. I was very glad to see so many beautiful flowers in the park. I was really amazed to see a sea of colourful

flowers. They told me that some rare flowers came from Taiwan. Thousands of people stopped and watched them carefully. I took many pictures there. Taiwan has always been a part of our country. I am sure sooner or later we can go there to see many more beautiful flowers. What great fun it will be.

The imperial palace, also known as the Forbidden City, is the imperial

palace of the Ming and qing dynasties, which is the largest and most complete

ancient architectural complex in China. I especially want to know the

architecture of ancient palaces and the living environment of ancient

emperors.

One weekend in the golden autumn, the sun is shining and the autumn wind is

crisp. My mother and I went to visit the Palace Museum in the center of the

city. I was very happy.

Enter the gate of the Forbidden City, "wow! Its so big here!" I couldnt

help it. The mother said, "the most spectacular is still in the back!" We first

visited the architectural model of the imperial palace and its construction. I

know that the imperial palace covers an area of over 720,000 square meters, with

more than 9,000 rooms, all wooden structures, and all the wooden structures have

no nails. The palace is the blue and white stone base, the tall roof, the yellow

glazed tile, the pattern of the dragon everywhere, and decorated with the

brilliant color of the golden wall. I observed all the palaces, and found that

the palaces were lined up along the north-south axis, and spread out to the

sides, to the north and south, and to the right and left. I told mom, I found

mother listen to nod a smile, said: "the central axis not only in the Forbidden

City, and nanda YongDingMen, north to the drum tower, almost throughout the

whole city. Its magnificent, well-planned and spectacular.

We have been visiting the taihe temple from the imperial garden. What a

breathtaking view! In the Forbidden City, the most striking is the "three halls"

: the hall of supreme harmony, the hall of harmony, the hall of protection and

the temple. They are all built on the 8-meter-high base of the white jade, which

looks like the qiong yuyu in the myth. The first hall of supreme harmony was the

most magnificent building. People called it the "throne room". It was the place

where the emperor held the grand ceremony. It is 28 meters high, 63 meters, 35

meters north and south, and a large pillar with a diameter of 1 meter. Among

them, six large pillars, one meter in diameter around the throne, are flat

dragon pillars of leached gold. The throne is located at the base of the two

meters high in the temple, with the graceful crane and the top of the furnace,

followed by a carefully carved screen. The whole hall is decorated with golden

walls, which are both majestic and magnificent. The hall of neutralization was

the place where the emperor went to the hall of supreme harmony to take a rest

and exercise etiquette. Baohe and the temple are the place where the emperor

gives banquet to the king of the foreign land every New Year. This is just the

palace buildings, and house decoration is numerous, the rarities of the mother

said: "these treasures is only part of it, when Chiang kai-shek fled to Taiwan

carried away many treasure palace, there are some loss in a foreign country". I

feel sorry for the loss of these treasures. When will these lost treasures

return to the embrace of the motherland? I am looking forward to the reunion of

Taiwan and mainland as soon as possible.

The visit of the Forbidden City made me linger. The Palace Museum is an

unparalleled masterpiece. It is a miracle. Our five thousand years of Chinese

culture are profound and profound, and we should be proud and proud to have

built such a magnificent palace for the ancients. At the same time, we also have

the responsibility to protect these cultural relics from destruction, so that

the five thousand years of splendid civilization of the motherland will be

handed down.

An Activity

Someone said here Lei Feng comes in March and goes in April. I thought they were wrong. This afternoon the students of our class went to the bus stop to help the drivers clean the buses.

As soon as the bus stopped at the station, a group of students got on it. Some cleaned the windows, some swept the floor, and others cleaned the wall inside. We worked hard while talking and laughing. When we found some coins lying on the floor, we picked them up and gave them to the conductors or the drivers.They were very happy and said, "It is very nice of you."

When I got home, it was five o’clock. I felt a little tired, but I was very happy to have done a good deed.

“八戒、八戒、心肠不坏;八戒、八戒、傻得可爱……”听到这首歌词，能勾起大家儿时的回忆，你们一定想起来那位肥头大耳的“猪先生”吧!

虽然在其他人眼里，八戒一直是一个好吃懒做、爱说风凉话的大胖猪，一丁点儿都不讨人喜欢。但在我的心中，八戒却是一个憨厚忠诚、活泼可爱的猪。

快瞧，那咧着大嘴，拱起的鼻子，扇子似的耳朵，还有那圆溜溜的肚子，无一不在彰显着他的古怪。

我喜欢猪八戒的憨厚忠诚，喜欢他的活泼可爱，更喜欢他的“装疯卖傻”。

八戒憨厚忠诚，是因为他无论怎样，都不会背叛唐僧。在大师兄遇到困难时，他也会帮忙;在孙悟空出去降妖除魔时，他会和沙僧一起保护唐僧。有一次孙悟空被妖怪捉走时，他都会嚷嚷：“大师兄被抓走啦!我们要散伙啦!”但他也只是嘴上说说，从没有抛下手无缚鸡之力的唐僧，和只有一把铲子的沙僧。在有妖怪趁孙悟空不在偷袭他们师徒三人的时候，他总会第一个站出来，拼命保护师父。

八戒活泼可爱，是因为他每次被孙悟空嘲笑后，都会无所谓地笑笑，有时还会自嘲一下。在自己被妖怪捉走时，他总会绞尽脑汁编出一大堆新奇的东西，镇定自若地和妖怪唇枪舌战，给悟空争取时间来救自己。他那笨拙的身体和搞笑的语言，常让妖怪忍俊不禁。虽然他常常搞砸了孙悟空的计划，但我还是很喜欢他。

八戒总是装疯卖傻，为什么这么说呢?是因为师父和悟空总是“呆子呆子”地叫他，连他自己也承认。这是为什么呢?因为他总说自己笨，那是因为想躲避一些事而已，比如那些需要用脑子的事，他都会借口说自己笨而去睡觉，这怎么不能说他很聪明呢?

我喜欢八戒，因为他憨厚忠诚，活泼可爱，还总是装疯卖傻。

时间就像一道瀑布，它冲刷了我的许多回忆，却永远也冲刷不掉我思念家乡的感情。二十年过去了，我已经大学毕业，在异乡工作。这天晚上，正是中秋佳节。我吃着月饼，不禁想起故乡来。“明天，我一定要回到家乡!”我对自己说。

第二天一早，我匆匆吃完早饭，就乘着飞机回到了家乡----莆田市仙游县。我在路边等候出租车，意外发现，家乡变了。以前低矮的平房变成了高楼大厦;以前经常堵车的小路变成了宽阔的柏油路;以前光秃秃的荒地变成了绿树成荫的公园，许多人正在树下乘凉。一辆载满粮食的农用车开了过来，我不由得捂上鼻子，想躲开它尾部的黑烟。然而，车开到面前的时候，我认真一看，“咦，怎么没有尾气呢。”过了一会儿，一辆出租车在我身边停了下来，上了车，我问司机为何车子现在没有排出废气了。看着我一脸疑惑，司机笑着回答：“呵呵，以前用汽油又污染环境又烧钱，现在的汽车都改成空气能了，哪还能排出废气呢。”哦，原来是这样，怪不得现在的空气这么清新呢。

不一会儿，就来到家门口了。下了车，来到门前，我仔细一看，门上多了脸部识别，指纹识别功能，还要我输入密码。我不知如何是好，于是打了我娘的电话，让她帮我开个门。“吱呀”一声，门开了，妈妈又惊喜又亲切得拉着我的手，走进了客厅，我见到了往日对我非常严厉的爸爸。爸爸亲切得对我说：“儿呀，不知不觉，你离开家乡已经二十年了，这二十年里，咱家乡变化可大着呢，特别是环境，现在比以前好多了。”没错，这就是让我感到又惊喜又欣慰的事情。

听到了大厅里的欢声笑语，太奶奶也从里屋走出来。我连忙走上去，拉着太奶奶的手向她问好，二十年了，到现在她都91岁了，她的身体怎么看起来还是那么地硬朗?看着我疑惑的神情，爸爸好像知道了我的心思，他说：“太奶奶和大家一样，都喝兰溪旁边那条小河里的水，现在村里长寿的人特别多。”那样的水能喝吗?我听得都快吐出来了，以前那可是又脏又臭，污水汇集的烂泥沟呀!爸爸解释说：”现在不是这样了，政府投入了很大的人力物力进行改善治理，水变得清澈无比，还成了村里的一道风景线呢。”我爬上二楼，推开窗户，远远地望着丰美河，清澈碧绿的河水静静地流淌着，有人在岸边钓鱼，有人在河里游泳，确实变了。

家乡变了，环境变美了，人变健康了，人们的生活习惯也变好了........

我的家乡在铜梁，家乡的美景多得数不清，光是广场就有很多。

有气势磅礴的金龙广场，有小巧玲珑的凤山广场，有美不胜数的明月广场，还有人见人爱的群龙广场。我最喜欢的广场就是群龙广场了。群龙广场位于塔山西街，总面积约为8000平方米。群龙广场的背面是一个文化园区。有刚刚建好的巴川中学；有倍出人才的铜梁二中；还有师资力量雄厚的国茂学校。群龙广场正对街面，街道上每天人来车往，十分热闹。

群龙广场分为两层，中间有阶梯做界线。8块草坪座落在广场两边。草坪里的小草有的像亭亭玉立的少女；有的像铺平的绿色地毯；还有的像孩子似的在微风下玩耍。小草边有好多棵挺立着的树木,它们枝繁叶茂,活像一位位刚入伍的战士,时刻守为着群龙广场。多少种绿颜色啊：深的、浅的、明的、暗的，绿得难以形容。它们在广场上汇成了一条小河，草坪中那小小的野花则成了河里欢跳的小鱼儿。

群龙广长多么会打扮自己呀！群龙广场不光美丽，还是晨练的好去处，因此，更是引人注目了！天刚刚亮，天空还没掀开软棉棉的被子，群龙广场早以成了人的海洋。不管是男的、女的、老的、少的，他们都会来到广场锻炼身体。有的舞剑，有的跳舞，还有的做体操。

他们一直练到七、八点钟才肯罢休。群龙广场不仅早上很受人们欢迎，晚上也很受欢迎。每当夜幕降临，人们就纷纷来到广场。这时的群龙广场就成了超大型的舞厅了。一但音乐响起，人们的手、脚便情不自禁地动起来。爱跳交易舞的在第一层，爱跳自游舞的在第二层。

不管音乐是欢快的，还是舒情的，不管音乐是悦耳的，还是刺耳的，都无法打断人们欢悦的心情。我爱群龙广场，是因为它为家乡增添了光彩；而我爱家乡，则是因为家乡有群龙这等美丽的广场！

大家好!我的名字叫xxx，杨家将的杨，博士的博，汉族。我的个子不矮，但和班上的高个儿比起来，就逊色多了。和大多数同学一样，我今年也是11岁。

我的缺点：主要是作事不麻利，自觉性不高，对自己的事不上心。上五年级的时候，学校就在我家对面。我却常常是七点半起床，要做半个多小时的准备才能出门，还经常迟到。因此同学们叫我"迟到大王"。现在，最起码六点多就要起床，才能有足够的时候吃饭、坐车等。这对我是个挑战。不过，我一定要借这个机会，改掉我不麻利的坏习惯。另外，自觉性不高，上课不免做些小动作、讲话。前几天大家都参加了军训，站着要一动也不动。我感到通过这次军训，我的自觉性有所提高。我也希望在以后的学习中改掉这个毛病。对自己的事不上心。我在当数学课代表时，有好几次本子忘发，作业没收齐，挨过老师不少责备。我也希望改掉它。我有决心改掉我的缺点和坏习惯。

我的优点：我和很多同学一样，也找不出我的优点。我和父母讨论之后得出：较有上进心，较乐观。至于我更多的优点，就靠大家的发掘了!

我的兴趣爱好。我比较喜欢游泳，踢足球，也对军事感兴趣。如果谁和我"志同道合"，就可以找我交个朋友。

对未来初中生活的期望。我希望能在这三年里快乐地度过，能和同学们结下深厚的友谊，能从老师那里学到更多的知识和道理。

学习目标：能考上重点高中;在班上成绩应理想;能够超过小学时的同学。我希望大家能够了解我，喜欢我。

Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live we must

communicate with other people.

A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by

the simple means of speech.

If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are

likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news

or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of

society.

Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and

during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one

of the dominating factors of contemporary society.

Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications,

photography, radio and television.

Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of

communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news,

which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.

No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged

minority.

In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed

fortunate, but today there are public libraries.

Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people

sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into

millions of homes.

Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of

information.

The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society

and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and

entertainment.

The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with

informing, educating and entertaining.

Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is

very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the

vast modern network of communications is open to abuse.

However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no

turning back.
