篇1:背好英语单词初一作文500字
全文共 578 字
+ 加入清单因为人的记忆力有选择啊,有的人天生对语言天生敏感,所以记得就快,有的人对历史敏感,记忆历史就比别人快。所以人的记忆力不能一概而论,这是我多年学习的经验,和个人理解。
第一,你不要把英语单词当成中文的象形文字来记,中文的记忆有形象关系,但是单词时无意义的字母排序,背得时候一定要理解英语的发音规律,先要记没个单词的发音,有的发音如tioneror什么的你一定发现了几个字母组合法特定的音,按发音记!
有时候宁肯先记发音!
因为有时候,你甚至能根据发音,你自己就能写出来,何必要背。其实英语的字母单词,不是很规律的,不想拼音的,但还是有一定的规律。
其实背英语单词,不能死记是真的,但是一定要持之以恒,首先要有心理准备,要有自信。
你背英语单词的时候可以边默读便用笔在一张纸上写,就是随便写一些,主要是加深印象。
我的习惯是第一次背时先写5遍/单词,隔天写3遍/单词。过一段时间再重复。这样记虽然慢,但是很扎实。
而且还要注意,背单词应该背词典,就是你背一个词的形式,比如名词,最好翻阅词典,把其他的形式也给背过。这样看起来,似乎比较费脑子,实际上我认为,这样无形中很快,因为你背单词就是要用在阅读上,这样背的话既实用又能无形中体会出英语的变形规律,以后就会背的很快乐。
英语背单词,实际取决于你已经背的单词量。
不是英语专业的人,但是愿意分享我的经验,希望你能背得越来越轻松。
篇2:高一关于运动的英语作文带翻译
全文共 2165 字
+ 加入清单Students in our school have one thing in common- an interest in sports. According to their different intentions in taking part in sports, they fall into three groups.
Many students go to the playground when they tired after a few hours of study, These students put much more tress on their study efficiency than the fun of sports, They just want to go back to their classrooms from the playground with a clearer and quicker mind. Thus they dont actually care whether they can enjoy themselves on theplayground. Most of them choose long distance running, the kind of exercise which few real sports enthusiasts like. So this group of students can be well labeled as study-- oriented participation.
Students that make up the second group are real sports lovers. Sometimes they even put aside their studies for a match. They take part in the sport that interests them most, not caring whether it is most beneficial to their health. They may be called fun-oriented sports participants.
The third group want beauty from sports. Boys want to become strong; girls want to be slim and graceful. Those who consider sports the only way of reducing weight also belong to this group. They are very careful in choosing the kind of exercise they do, and are afraid that certain sports may ruin their figures. Horizontal bars and parallel bars are the boys choice, and the hula hoop is now the girls favorite. The appropriate name for this group may be beauty - oriented sports participants.
No matter which group we belong to, we all benefit from sports. If you look around the campus, you will find that bookworms have disappeared, and, instead, there are healthy, strong, clever, modernized students everywhere.
学生在我们学校有一个共同点——一个对体育的兴趣。根据他们不同的意图参与体育,他们分为三组。
许多学生去操场当他们累了几个小时的学习,这些学生给他们的研究更多的发辫效率比体育运动的乐趣,他们只是想从操场回到教室更清晰、更快速的头脑。因此他们实际上并不关心他们是否能享受theplayground。他们中的大多数人选择长跑,一些真正的体育爱好者喜欢的运动。所以这群学生可以贴上面向研究的参与。
学生,第二组是真正的体育爱好者。有时他们甚至抛开学业匹配。他们参加他们最感兴趣的运动,不关心是否最有利于他们的健康。他们可以被称为fun-oriented体育参与者。
第三组要从体育美。男孩想成为强大的,女孩想保持苗条,优雅。那些认为体育运动减肥的唯一方法也属于这一组。他们非常小心在选择什么样的运动,和害怕,某些体育可能毁了他们的数据。单杠和双杠是男孩的选择,和呼啦圈现在是女孩们的最爱。为这一组适当的名称可能是美,面向体育参与者。
无论我们属于哪一组,我们都受益于运动。如果你参观校园,你会发现书虫消失了,,相反,有健康,强壮,聪明,现代化的学生随处可见。
篇3:关于一次体育运动会的作文
全文共 1002 字
+ 加入清单一年一度的春季运动会开始了,同学们都十分高兴。
运动会有四个项目:个人跳绳赛,个人50米赛,接力赛和拔河。
首先进行的是个人跳绳赛和个人50米赛,这两项比赛都很精彩。但最精彩最激烈的就是接下来的接力和拔河了。
接力赛开始前,同学们都整装待发。随着裁判员一声哨响,各班的第一棒都像发射出的子弹一样冲了出去。我们班的陈明星像箭一样冲在最前面,别班同学也紧随其后,但还是被速度最快的陈明星落下一截。我们班的啦啦队攒足了劲儿,扯着喉咙喊加油,脸都涨得通红。有了同学们助威,参加比赛的同学更加卖力,与别的班相隔二三十米呢!但意外还是发生了,我们班还是掉了一次棒,使得别班超过了我们,我们得了第四名。六二班是第一名,当他们班最后一棒郭一鸣飞速冲向终点时,还做了个刘翔冲向终点时一个敞开双臂的动作,双手举出“V”型,高兴得不得了。看着他得意的样子,我们心里很不服气。掉了棒的同学受到同学们的责怪,痛哭起来,觉得很对不起大家。但是,我觉得大家不应该责怪他们,毕竟他们也不想让掉棒啊。
最后一场是拔河。开始是我们班VS六二班。哨声一响,双方就抓绳往后拉。我们班和六二班实力不相上下,挂在绳子上的红领巾总在中间摆来摆去。我们班的同学猛地一用劲儿,一下就把绳子拉了过来,全班一片欢呼,举出胜利手势,激动得一蹦三尺高!和六二班的第二场比赛也同样赢了,同学们更激动了!谁也没想到,我们决赛的对手竟是实力最强的六四班。同学们的心都提到了嗓子眼儿,到底能不能赢呢?“嘘---”哨声响了,比赛开始了。我们班一开始就被六四班拉过一截,我们班同学们的心差点从嗓子眼儿跳出来,幸好我们班的拔河选手用力往回拉,没被他们班拉过去。我们啦啦队都万分紧张,心怦怦直跳,紧握拳头,希望我们班不要输,大声喊:“六三班加油!”唉!还是被六四班拉去了。第二场开始,还没一会儿工夫,六四班可就轻而易举地赢了比赛,看着他们高兴的劲儿,我们心里很不是滋味,有不少同学都落泪了。
回到教室朱老师并没有责怪我们没得第一,反而安慰起大家。闫老师也风趣地说:“我一个瓜子还没嗑完呢,这比赛可就结束了!”惹得大家都开心地笑了,似乎忘记了刚才的悲伤。
虽然这一次比赛成绩不太理想,但我们尽力了,就是最好的,重在参与嘛!友谊第一,比赛第二!况且今年是奥运年,对我们来说是多么光荣,他即将在北京举行,所以我们应该增强体质,更健康!奥运会就是提倡友谊第一!输赢不在乎!

篇4:有趣的体育运动——游泳
全文共 841 字
+ 加入清单在这酷热的暑假里,我趁着空闲,去学习了一样有趣的体育运动——游泳。唉!说起我学习游泳的经过那可真是记忆犹新呀!
那天,我正在家里做功课,这时电话铃响了,哦!原来是好朋友叫我一起去游泳,一直想学游泳的我便毫不犹豫地答应了他。来到游泳馆,买好票,穿好游泳衣,一切准备就绪后,我说了一声,英勇的游泳健将下水了,就马上迫不及待地向水中跳去,“仆咚”一声,我落水了,这下可惨了,我还没学会游泳呢!在池中我像只汗鸭子一样极力挣扎着,一连喝了好几口水,不过还好我游得是浅水区,所以没什么事,我心里暗暗叫惨。接下来我就开始学习游泳,这可真难学呀,我一向前游,就马上“石沉大海”,哦不对,应该是“人沉泳池”才对,而且我不仅都喝水,还每次从池中露出头来,嘴里就会喷出一条长长的水柱。有时喷到人,还会被骂。傍晚,回家时我不由自主得说:“唉!今天我可真是倒霉,喝了这么多的脏水,还挨别人骂,游泳真是苦啊!”
第二天,我不服输,又去学游泳,这一次我比第一天游得要好些了。可是我这一次更惨,不仅喝了水,还耳朵渗水,鼻子进水,眼镜还会漏水,弄得我眼睛疼死了。这次回家的时候,我还是用一个字来形容——苦,不过我还有一句话——以后再也不学游泳了。
那天以后,我觉得学习游泳使我受尽了千辛万苦,让我满腹苦水,便再也不去过问这件事了,直到一天爸爸妈妈知道了我的心事后,对我说:“学一样东西一定要坚持到底,直到成功,绝不能半途而废,因为失败乃成功之母嘛!”听了这句话,看着爸爸妈妈那严肃的神情,我似乎明白了他们对我说的话是多么得真切。第二天,我鼓足了勇气,又去学习游泳了,总结了前两次的经验,经过几天的坚持练习,功夫不负有心人,我终于学会了游泳,并在游泳中体会着运动带来的快乐。
经过这次学习游泳的过程,我才深刻地体会到“苦尽甘来”的含义。是的,在我学会游泳的背后经历了多少的酸甜苦辣啊!如果一个人做事都没有决心,没有毅力,没有坚强的意志,那又怎么会成功呢?只有坚持到底才能成功,只有经历了风雨才能见彩虹。只有历尽了挫折才能胜利!

+ 加入清单7月21日,我和妈妈去天河体育中心运动。一进门我就看见一个非常大的广场,那里有一些人在骑单车,有的在跳绳,还有的在跑步。广场两旁有许多树木,树下有许多运动器材。
于是我就走过去运动,我先爬上天梯,我双手紧握天梯把手,交替换行。它可以促进肩部、臂部的灵活性,增强上肢、上身肌肉力量。我爬过后,就荡起了双人晃板器。先双手紧握扶手,下身轻轻的摇摆,可以活动腰部,像扭屁股一样。这项运动能增强心肺功能和协调能力;改善血液循环和消化系统机能,改善腰椎,髋关节功能性障碍,对肌肉萎缩等有康复作用。
接着我就是去玩漫步机,我抓住杆子,踩着踏板,像走路一样晃着脚。这项运动可以增强心肺功能及下肢、腰部肌肉力量;改善下肢柔韧性和协调能力;提高下肢各关节稳定性。该项运动对腰肌劳损、髋关节酸痛、下肢活动障碍、肌肉无力、肌肉萎缩等有康复作用。
当我累了,就坐在按摩推揉器上休息,一个小圆筒在背上推挤,帮你搓背,感到很舒服,它可以帮你的背放松。
还有许多运动器械,有:双杠、太极揉推器、联动健身车、健步扭腰桥单杠、弹振压脚器等等。
天河体育中心的运动器材真不少!要运动就来这里吧!
