+ 加入清单

Friendship is a kind of human relations. It is a human instinct to make

friends.When in trouble, we need friends to offer us help, support and

encouragement. With success achieved, we also need friends to share our joys.

Friendship is also one of the greatest pleasures that we can enjoy. It implies

loyalty, cordiality, sympathy, affection,and readiness to help. No man can make

the most of his life without carefully and conscientiously striving to win the

right kind of friends as he goes along.

Knowing how valuable friendship is, we should be very careful in making

friends. Real friends are those who have good character, superior ability and

kindness of heart. Real friends can share all our sorrows and double all our

joys.While making friends, we should take care to select those who have such

fine qualities. Then we should treat our friends with courtesy, be careful not

to interfere unreasonably with them,and not to ridicule their proceedings. We

should forgive their failures and do our best to help them. In short, when we

have established friendship, we ought to cherish and treasure it by means of

words and deeds. Only thus, can we develop real friendship and keep the sacred

lamp of friendship burning all our life.

Late for School

October 8th Wednesday Windy

I was fifteen minutes late for school this morning. I usually go to school

by bike. But this morning there was something wrong with my bike. It didnt work

on the way to school. I had to have it repaired. So I had to take a bus. It took

me about twenty minutes to get to school. When I arrived at the school gate, it

was 8:15. I was afraid when I entered the classroom, because Mr. Zhang is very

strict with us. Luckily, he was not angry with me this time.

亲情就像一条河流,为了我们而永流不息,我们就像一条条小鱼,畅饮着甘甜可口的水流,在充满爱的河流中生活,无比幸福。

长辈们的爱是无法替代的,我们在亲情中成长,同时也得到了亲人们无限的关爱。

记得我很小的时候,因为爸爸妈妈去上海了,所以外婆来照顾我。我的衣食住行外婆全包了。多了个我,外婆的生活忙碌了很多。看着外婆忙碌的身影,我不禁感到一丝心酸。我不止一次想帮外婆,但外婆每次都用轻柔亲切的平阳话拒绝了我。

一天半夜,我无缘无故地咳嗽得厉害,害得我喘不过气来。外婆一听到就马上爬起来,看着我咳得狼狈不堪的样子,赶忙去厨房到了一杯水给我。我喝了几口,外婆拍了拍我的背,我感觉喉咙舒服多了,这才安心躺下来睡觉。

可经过这么一折腾,我早已睡意全无,睁着眼睛,一会儿翻个身,一会儿打个哈欠,就是睡不着。“咦?怎么没有外婆的呼噜声?外婆平时睡觉都会打呼噜的,难道外婆还没睡着?”我想着。月亮越爬越高,从房间里已经很难看到了,但月光透过了窗子,一切都非常宁静与安详。“睡吧,不然明天会没精神的。”外婆果然还没睡,看我翻来覆去,亲切地说。“嗯。”我轻轻地答道。

但过了很久耳边还是没响起熟悉的呼噜声。以前,我和外婆一起睡,就被外婆的呼噜声吵得难以入眠。只要外婆一打呼噜,我就叫醒外婆,害得外婆一夜没睡好……这次难道外婆怕吵着我不敢先睡?我便佯装自己睡得很熟,轻轻的打起了呼噜。过了一会儿,还是没听见外婆的呼噜声,外婆坐起来帮我盖好被子,用手慈爱地摸了摸我的额头,我都记得一清二楚。

不知过了多久,我不知不觉地在没有呼噜声的夜晚里睡着了,醒来时外婆已经起床做早餐给我吃。我发现外婆的眼睛有血丝,明白了外婆为了我不失眠昨天一夜没睡好。

现在我长大了,外婆也多了两个小孙子,和外婆一起睡觉的机会没有了,也听不到外婆那熟悉而亲切的呼噜声。但是,外婆对我的关爱永远铭记我心!

As is shown in the picture, two men had a big dinner in a restaurant, but much of the food was left and some was even untouched at all. When the waitress asked them to pack the remaining food, they felt very surprised, thinking that it was unbelievable for them to do things like that with too much money in their pocket.

It is a pity that many people act like the two men in the picture. In my view, we should pack the leftovers when we have meals outside. As we all know, saving is a fine tradition for our Chinese people and therefore we shouldn’t waste a bit food. Also, there is not enough food in the world and there are many people starving. In addition, we students should form the habit of saving food and give away some to the people in need. Finally, we have the responsibility to help people around us realize the importance of saving.

Only in this way can we build up an economized society and live a happy and healthy life.

如图片所示,两个男人在一家餐馆吃了丰盛的晚饭,但是剩下的食物和一些甚至没有。当服务员问他们打包剩下的食物,他们感到很惊讶,以为他们是不可思议的事情,用太多的钱在他们的口袋里。

遗憾的是,很多人就像照片中的两人。在我看来,我们应该把剩饭剩菜,当我们在外面吃饭。我们都知道,节约是我们中国人的优良传统,因此我们不应该浪费食物。同样,世界上没有足够的食物,有很多人挨饿。此外,我们学生应养成节约粮食的习惯和放弃一些有需要的人。最后,我们有责任帮助我们周围的人们意识到节约的重要性。

只有用这种方法我们才能建立一个节约型社会,过幸福健康的生活。

快到农历的小年了,外面已是滴水成冰,但是中午的一顿饺子却让我温暖万分,不禁又想起了第一次包饺子的场景。

第一次包饺子,那是冬日的一个周末,父亲提出他亲自指导,教我包饺子。第一步先是擀皮,这个工序看起来很是简单,但却让我手忙脚乱。父亲先给我做示范,左手飞快的旋转饺子皮,随着右手上的擀面杖与案板发出的“咯嗒咯嗒”的声音,一个饺子皮便“飞”了出来,边擀饺子皮还不忘告诉我:“饺子皮要中间略厚,边上要略薄,但是总体上要均匀一些……”看着父亲沾满面粉的手是那么的熟练,我不禁呆住了。到我尝试的时候,又是另一番完全不同的景象了:我的左右手不听话地无法协调,一会是饺子皮粘在了案板上,一会是没有及时旋转饺子皮,成了方形的……好在熟能生巧,在我练习几次过后,我渐渐适应了擀饺子皮的速度,左右手也协调了许多。

接下来就是包饺子了。还是父亲师范,只见他将一个饺子皮拿在手上,用一个勺子舀出一小勺馅料,不多不少,用大拇指和食指飞快地将两边的皮捏合,最后用手一掬,整好形状,一个饺子就包好了,并自觉地将包好的饺子整齐地排成一行,整个的动作是那么的熟练、自然。又到了我自己尝试,这小小的包饺子竟让我不知所措,一会是馅放多了捏不住口;一会又还是馅放少了,成了扁扁的形状……还是爸爸最后帮助我整好了形状,我看着一案板整齐排列的饺子里藏着几个我的“杰作”,那饺子仿佛对着我笑呢,我心里竟有几分激动。

在寒冷的冬天,一碗热气腾腾的饺子可以温暖身体,更可以温暖人心,望着这饺子,阵阵暖意扑面而来……

2月1日早晨,我刚拉开窗帘就看见外面银装素裹,树上、房顶上、地上一片白茫茫的积雪,仿佛给大地铺上了一床厚厚的棉被。

我看到了窗外的这一切,我高兴地跳了起来叫道:“爸爸,今天雪下得好大啊!我们快下去堆雪人吧!”爸爸说:“这是上海50年以来下得最大的一场雪啊!”爸爸和我立刻穿好雨鞋,戴上帽子,拿了一些堆雪人的工具,准备下去堆雪人了。

我们来到小区花坛的前面,在一块草地上,开始堆起雪人来,我说:“爸爸,我堆大的,你堆小的,好不好?”“好!”爸爸高兴的说。爸爸和我从地上、树上、车顶上抱了一团雪,然后在地上滚啊滚……差不多滚了15分钟,我滚成了一个大雪球,爸爸也滚成了一个小雪球,我们把大雪球放在下面,小雪球放在上面,然后用雪撬拍打雪人的“身子”让它变得很结实,我问爸爸:“雪人可堆好了?”爸爸说:“你看还少什么?”我定睛一看:“啊!雪人少了眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴。”我立刻拿出了两个纽扣放在雪人的脸上当眼睛,用胡萝卜插在它的脸上当鼻子,我用一个树丫当它的嘴巴,用两片叶子当耳朵。最后爸爸叠了一个纸帽子戴在雪人的头上,我又用大红的塑料袋系在雪人的脖子上。啊!一个很帅的“小伙子”站在我们的面前,我高兴得手舞足蹈。

正在我开心的时候,爸爸意味深长地对我说:“Tiger,我们在这儿玩得很开心,但是国家今年遭受了严重的雪灾,我们要节省每一分钱,每一度电支援灾区,”听了爸爸的话,我把这一件事永远记在我的心中!

篇15:初一年级清明节作文600字

全文共 1023 字

+ 加入清单

清明是中国农历二十四个节气中第五个节气。清明节在每年春天的四月四号到六号之间。这一天也是我们祭奠和缅怀逝去的亲人的日子。 Qingming is the fifth solar terms among the twenty -fourth solar terms of the Chinese lunar calendar.The Qingming Festival is between April 4th and 6th each spring.This day is also the day when we commemorate and remember their loved ones.

这时正是漫长的寒冬过去了,绚丽多彩、生机盎然的春天蹦蹦跳跳地来到我们身边。一会儿春风和煦地吹拂着我们的脸。一会儿春雨淅淅沥沥地飘洒下来,使大自然格外的清明。

奶奶说:“清明节是最富有诗意的节日。”我们翻阅了《少儿读古诗》这本书,找到了唐代诗人韦庄的“满街杨柳绿似烟,化做清明三月天。好似隔帘红杏里,女郎缭乱送秋千。”的诗还有宋代诗人吴惟信的“梨花风起正清明,游子寻春半出城。

日暮笙歌收拾去,万株杨柳属流莺。”的诗,还有唐代诗人杜牧写的那首脍炙人口的《清明》:“清明时节雨纷纷,路上行人欲断魂,借问酒家何处有,牧童遥指杏花村。”这些诗都描绘了清明这个节日带给人们是一般的精神享受,特别是杜牧把清明与“雨”紧紧地连在了一起是这种诗意达到了极致。

我喜欢过清明节是另有原因的:我终于有机会到郊外拥抱春天。第一个机会是学校组织我们去春游,那时,师生将乘坐大巴车一路上欣赏这春天的美景来到风景如花的山上、草地上或湖边柳树下,尽情享受着春天的快乐。

第二个机会是和我们吴家的所有成员结伴扫墓,那时,我们会带着鲜花、水果和糕点,祭奠吴家的祖先,我们排着队在墓碑前鞠躬行礼,奶奶鞠躬的时候,喃喃地说:“爸爸妈妈,我们来看望你了”然后,我和表哥表妹们在山上追赶疯跑,释放我们的青春活力,我们各自带着自己喜爱的玩具,如跳绳、空竹、风筝等在山下的空地上各展现自己的“绝活”。直到听见“我们走了!”一声喊,我们就依依不舍的走向各自的车子,互相挥挥手,奔向同一个目的地安乐园餐厅。

在回程的车上我沉浸在不舍离去的心情中,奶奶却和我耳语:“次活动可以叫扫墓,也可以叫踏青。我们把扫墓和踏青结合在一起了。

归途中,我在想着明年的扫墓和踏青。一年一度的清明节是我小学生活中不可忘怀的节日。

Now more and more bike sharing brands have emerged, such as ofo, Mobai,

Wukong bicycle, Xiaoming bicycle and so on, which are convenient for our travel.

As long as we download a software, we can pay some money to rent a car. However,

since I saw some phenomena, I have asked myself, "is bike sharing convenient or

harmful?"

Bike sharing is very popular recently. Ofo software or other sharing

software can be found in almost all mobile phones of "mobile phone family".

However, once my mother came home full of anger, scared me to speak. I shuddered

and asked, "Mom, what makes you so angry?" She put the bag in her hand on the

table and made a loud "pa -". "Your sister helped me install an ofo software in

my mobile phone. I wanted to make it easy to ride back with good medicine, but

today I rented a" broken car "!" I was puzzled: "ofo still has a broken car

"That is, otherwise, how could my feet be bruised?" She moved her foot to me,

and a black wheel mark was still visible. "When I was riding, the chain was

loose. If it wasnt for my fast braking speed, I would have fallen off!" Since

then, Ive been less fond of bike sharing.

Once I went to a make-up class, I saw two workers sitting on a Mobi

bicycle, shaking and laughing. Dad was very indignant and said: "this kind of

person really does not speak of public morality! Make fun of the public car I

know that they wont do this with their cars. My heart is like bleeding. Why,

they want to "bully" bike sharing.

Once I went out to play. The weather was very good and I was in a good

mood. I look up to the side, really do not see do not know, a look scared. A man

secretly removed the wheel of an ofo and replaced it with a bad one on his own.

After that, he rode off on the ofo wheel. Only the ofo little yellow car was

lying alone, and the wheels were not installed properly. It is like a injured

little girl, whose legs have been taken away, like vanca, can not endure the

sunshine of life. At that time, my tears began to drop. Is bike sharing "shared"

or "exclusive"?

There have been news reports that a boy under 12 years old riding a shared

bicycle was run over by a car and killed. At that time, the boys mother shared

the companys money to compensate for her sons death. Its clearly her sons fault.

He didnt ride a bike before he was 12 years old. I didnt say he deserved it. But

the fact is better than eloquence. The death of her son is not the

responsibility of the sharing company, but his own fault!

I once saw a young man riding ofo without scanning the code. A middle-aged

man pushed ofo into his home. Have you ever seen someone use Mobi without

decoding as fitness equipment? The sound of chain jingling is like a demon with

a chain in his hand crawling out of hell. Thats selfish!

Someone took an image that put the broken ofo and Moby together to fill a

small parking lot. After riding shared bicycles, people park them on the side of

the road at will. As long as a passer-by gently knocks down a car, it will fall

down like a domino.

Have you ever thought that sharing resources is closely related to each of

us, but all the harm they bring is due to selfishness. Bike sharing is just one

example. Ive seen shared bookstores where people leave books on their desks

after reading, so that they cant go home. "Convenience to others, convenience to

oneself." As long as we are convenient for others, we will also benefit

ourselves.

Gorky said: "Books are the ladder of human progress!" It is obvious how

important reading is! Reading books allows us to learn a wealth of knowledge,

but also make people progress.

Usually we should read more books, and we must read good books, such as:

science fiction, composition, fairy tales, fables, myths and other useful.

Meaningful book. However, for books like comics, it is best to read less.

"Reading through thousands of books, writing pens is like a god." I think

that reading more is good for writing. When reading, you should accumulate some

good words and good sentences, and then copy them on your notebook. Learn more

about other peoples writing skills. Content, so that when writing, the

accumulated and learned things can come in handy!

Books are our good friends; books are also our good teachers; none of us

leave anyone, book this intimate teacher, this competent teacher!

Almost everyone knows that water covers three-fourths of the earths

surface. Most of it, however, is in the oceans and is too salty to drink. Also,

some of it is frozen and cannot be used. In fact, less than one percent is left

for the use of people, animals and plant life. All through history men have

tried to build their homes near the sources of fresh water. Now fresh water is

becoming scarce, but more and more is needed because of the increasing number of

people in the world. Some industries also use large amounts of fresh water in

the production of things such as steel, petroleum, paper and rubber and so on.

Scientists estimate that the need for fresh water will have doubled by the year

2003. If they are correct, we must find new ways of saving it or producing it.

Some nations have worked on the problem and are already sharing their

information with others. They are trying to keep their rivers from becoming

polluted. Deep wells are also being dug, and rain water is being collected in

huge artificial lakes. In one way or another, they hope to provide enough water

to satisfy the needs of their people.
