+ 加入清单We had a small debate yesterday in politics class, which made everybody laugh. Wang Yongbin in our class is funny. He said with a crooked neck, "please state your opinion in opposition." It looks very serious! The opposite students grabbed the handle of our classmates, so Liu Yang, our mathematics class, said immediately: "the student said that dreams and dreams are opposite to reality." The teacher and his classmates laughed.
There was a counter student, Zhang Yijun, who said that he helped us in the opposite direction. Fortunately, the teacher reminded him in time to correct it. Yu Miao, a counter student, said, "dont you think its hard to learn before the end of the semester?" So I interposed, "because we know that we have passed." The students applauded immediately. Every time when our fellow students spoke well, Mu Deyu said at the bottom, "brilliant, really brilliant!" We said, "why dont you go up and say it?" He said, "Im stage fright."

+ 加入清单成长,像一片浸泡在牛奶上的柠檬,分不出是清还是纯。成长,又仿佛是一层朦胧的轻纱,能看到轻纱里的东西却怎么也看不清楚。
回忆——婴儿时候躺在摇篮里,咬着奶嘴,沐浴着阳光,睁开矇眬的睡眼,露出甜美的笑容。看着妈妈不在我身边,连忙用幼稚的声音一个劲得叫”妈妈!妈妈!“。上幼儿园啦,每当爸爸送我上幼
儿园,我总得”哇——哇“哭上一阵,最后还是乖乖的进教室,幼儿班毕业时,感觉自己好伟大,好自豪,我终于长大了,能上学了。走出幼儿园时我竟没有丝毫留恋。小学一年级,与陌生的同学、老
师慢慢认识、了解,是件多么快乐的事。想当初,我认识第一个朋友的时候,高兴得恨不得买10根棒棒糖一口气吃完。
成长的滋味究竟是什么?是甜?还是涩。幼儿时代,陪伴着我的是糖,棉花糖,入口就融化的甜。再大些,伴随着我的便是棒棒糖,一圈牛奶一圈水果味的棒棒糖,是一种循环了又循环的甜。现在的
我,甜、酸、涩,似乎成了我成长中的三部曲,而恰似这种滋味的,是柠檬茶。
加了糖的柠檬茶,甜中带酸,酸中带甜,似乎也像是成长中的成功与失败。不管是成功或是失败,过程永远是辛苦的。没有勤奋地学习和钻研,就不会有成功。一张张奖状,便是我努力过地证明。
其实我认为,成功、失败,都是一样的,最后都是喜悦,都是甜。
柠檬茶的味道,发涩。虽然涩是我最不喜欢的滋味,但在我的成长中,却少不了它,那就是泪水。泪,有喜悦的泪,懊悔的泪,委屈的泪。小鸟有了翅膀,才学会了飞翔;鲜花有了花香,才学会了
芬芳;我们有了挫折,才学会了成长。哭泣,是一种不满,是一种发泄吗?我无法找出正确的答案。
点点滴滴的回忆,永远叙述不完的成长的滋味,只有自己才会不厌其烦慢慢地品味……
篇3:大学英语日记感恩节
全文共 1433 字
+ 加入清单We are supposed to express our gratitude to others on Thanksgiving Day.
However, we should feel gratitude every day.
God has two dwellings, one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful
heart. Be grateful to others is a way to show your love. In our daily life, we
often receive help from our parents, friends, colleagues and strangers. Perhaps
it is a little thing, pick up the pen you drop, lift a heavy box for you or
offer you a seat in the bus. We should be thankful to them for whatever they
have done. The more love you give, the more love you receive.
A sense of gratitude can acknowledging our interdependent existence. You
will be ready to help others if you have a thankful heart. Therefore, a thankful
heart is like a magnet. Not only will we attract more things to be grateful for,
but also we will attract gratitude from others. “give thanks alittle and you
will find a lot.”
Gratitude is heaven itself. A sense of gratitude and indebtedness to others
is and important wellspring of a generous and virtuous life. We now fall into a
busy life, neglecting to be grateful for details, the beauty of nature, the
comforts of modern living ,the love of parents and so on. People can notice
these details and realize the friendship, love and happiness in our life with a
grateful heart.
Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul. Be thankful
for whatever you have, give and receive. Happy Thanksgiving today and every
day!

篇8:初中我的老师日记
全文共 658 字
+ 加入清单如果你跨进我们的校门,就会发现一个中等个子,上身穿了一件休闲装,下身一条宽松的牛仔裤,脚上一双皮鞋,一脸微笑的老师,那就是教我语文的吴老师。
他的那张笑脸酷似小朋友笔下的太阳,金灿灿的很亲切,他的教学方法也很独特,对我们也很无微不至。
在课堂上他总是带着笑脸给我们上课。他总能把死气沉沉的教室变得活跃起来。在他的课堂上我们有问题直接提出,我们还不用举手发言,可以直接站起来发言。他还有一种神奇的魔力。那就是他能让原本枯燥的语文课变得有趣起来。只要是他的课,我们全班就会一跃三尺,高兴啊!他还有个习惯,就是一边在黑板上解答,一边嘴里念叨着:“大的问题是没有的……”接着我们就会调皮地接上下一句:“细节上赏析是要注意的!”那时候,老师的两眼就会眯成一条缝,爽朗的笑起来。
他对我们也很照顾。记得有一次是早修课,我肚子有点疼,用手捂着肚子,眉头紧锁的。这时,老师经过我旁边时,他观察地很仔细,马上看出了我的异常。他俯下身来,亲切的问:“你怎么了?”“我肚子有点疼。”我慢慢的说。老师听了,对我说:“跟我来。”于是,我站起身来,他立马用手扶着我,我看到这举动,忘了问他一眼,他冲我笑了笑,好温暖的。我跟着老师来到办公室,他让我坐下,然后他走开了。我坐在那。
过了一会儿,他回来了,这时他拿着一杯温开水和一盒药递给我。接着,他还亲自为我准备好药。我拿着温开水,看着药,迅速拿起药喂进嘴巴,接着喝了一口水把药吞了下去,皱了皱眉。“怎么了?很苦吗?”吴老师问我。“恩,有点。”我点头回答。接着,他又叫我去休息,吃药不久,我肚疼病果然好了。

篇10:初中日记和写作教案
全文共 1117 字
+ 加入清单一、 教学目标:通过片段训练,使学生能进行细致的描写。
二、 教学重点:片段练习
三、 教学难点:通过片段练习,掌握进行细致描写的技巧。
四、 教学设想:演示实验——练习——分析——片段练习——方法
五、 教学过程:
(一) 组织教学、课堂导入: 同学们在学习语文的过程中,感到最可怕的是写作文,往往胶尽 脑汁而无处下笔, 搜肠刮肚找不到一个词语。 其实,
你们都是幸运的, 因为前人留给我们太多的宝藏,
“孔子的‘三人行,必有我师’,李太白的杯中酒,曹雪芹笔下的十二金钗,只要我们能多读好书,再掌握一定的作文技巧,又何愁写不好作文呢?这节课,就让我们一起解决作文中的一个难题:
“怎么进行细致的描写”?
(二) 讲授新课
1、 教师演示:教师手拿一个纸飞机,用力射出去,然后飞机掉 教师演示到了地上。 要求: (1)同学们要仔细观察,然后用一段话进行描写。
(2)同学们之间交流、分享。
2、摘录例句: 、摘录例句: a、老师把纸飞机用力的射了出去,飞机在空中飞了一圈,掉到 了地上。
b、老师右手拿一个纸飞机,高高向斜后方举起,身体向右倾斜 45 度角,右脚后退一小步,头微微抬起,向斜上方看,用力的将
飞机射了出去。飞机在空中像一个翩翩起舞的女子,画了一道优 美的弧线,轻轻地站在了地上。
3、分析:这两段话,你认为哪段写的好?为什么?
4、教师引导分析:得出“描写三原则” 。师总结:描写是什么呢?我认为描写就是把你看到的东西,可能是一 个人、一件物品、一个场景,告诉没有看到的人。
如果你要告诉别人什么,
首先一定要告诉别人。师总结:描写时,除了告诉别人“有什么”“怎么样”外,还要告诉别人“像什么”(板书:像什么)运用一定的修辞,这样才能使你的作文生动形象。“有什么”使我们明白了描写的对象,“怎么样”使描写具体起来,而“像什么”使描写变得更形象、生动,这三点就是描写三原则。
5、下面,同学们按照描写的三原则,检验一下自己刚刚的描写,进行修改。
6、教师让同学们将自己修改后的片段读出来,然后同学之间进行互评,教师让同学们将自己修改后的片段读出来。
7、美文共赏: 朱自清的《春》 分析:春天里“有什么”? 春天里“怎么样”? 春天的事物“像什么”? 8、作业:每人发一张图片——小鸭游水图,
让同学们课后按图片所画进行 描写练习。 要示:用词准确,100 字左右。
9、板书设计:三式妙法巧绘大千世界
1、有什么(对象) 描写三原则: 2、怎么样(细致) 3、像什么(修辞)
10、教学反思:通过本节课对描写的练习,同学们都有一个感觉:原来作文很简单。这也是这节课,我要告诉同学们的一个道理——作文 并不难。
但也有一部分同学词句匮乏,以后教学中,一定要加强词句的积累。
篇11:写中秋节的初中日记
全文共 540 字
+ 加入清单一年一度的中秋节,是一个团圆的节日,到了晚上,全家人围坐在一起,一边欣赏天上的圆月,一边吃着各种味道的月饼,一边聊着天,讲着各种有趣的故事,其乐融融。
爸爸给我讲了关于“中秋节”的故事……
传说在后羿射了九个太阳后,娶嫦娥为妻。后来后羿向王母娘娘求得了一颗不死之药,回来后,嫦娥把药珍藏在了百宝匣里,不幸被坏人发现,趁后羿打猎时,逼嫦娥拿出药来,嫦娥没有办法,就只得吃下药,飞到月亮上。
后羿回来了,伤心极了,他在自家的后花园里摆上了嫦娥最爱吃的蜜食鲜果,向嫦娥祈求平安,于是就有了“中秋节”这个节日。
今晚的西安,天上覆盖着一层厚厚的云彩,看不见月亮了。吃完晚饭,妈妈摆出了许多的水果,有桃子,有葡萄,有核桃,有大枣,有梨,还有今晚的主角——月饼!各种各样的食物摆满了整整一张桌子。我们全家围着桌子,边吃边聊天。我提议说:“我们边吃月饼边对诗怎么样?”大家点头答应了。
“我先来举头望明月!”妈妈也不甘示弱:“低头思故乡!”
“露从今月白!”
“月是故乡明!”
“至今不会天中事!哈哈你不会了吧?”妈妈说。“怎么不会?应是嫦娥掷与人!”我幸灾乐祸的回答。妈妈没有想到我会这么多!
大家你一句我一句的对着关于月亮的古诗,期间有人还会讲关于中秋的典故和历史故事,我们全家在一起度过了一个开心的中秋节!

篇13:写尝试的初中日记
全文共 662 字
+ 加入清单我,缓缓睁开了眼,四周一片漆黑,那生机勃勃的世界呢?
我,是一株草,普通的青草,和其他草没有什么区别。我在土地的怀抱中沉睡着,等待着春天的到来。在我的期盼中,又是一个初春,我要开始长大了,去看那美丽的世界。
我奋力向上伸长着,冲开那肥沃的土壤,一点,一点……夜以继日的努力,我马上就要冲破土层了!可一块坚石挡住了我的去路。我,无法如以往一般继续向上伸长了。我生气,我愤怒,我焦躁!为什么会遇到一块石头!为了实现自己看世界的理想,我下定了决心:我要撞开它!
我奋进全身力气一次次向它撞去,一下,两下……它纹丝未动,而我累了,我全身伤痕累累,还流着血,周身火辣辣地疼。看着坚硬的石块,抚摸着身上一道道伤口,我,动摇了。“还撞吗?”我自言自语道。也许撞开这块石头是一个不现实的目标。
我犹豫了,坚持?放弃?关键看自己的决定。这时,我仿佛听见鸟儿就在远方为我鸣叫,那悦耳动听的声音似雪白的海潮一般,一次次漫湿了我枯干的心灵,给了我前进的希望!不行!不能放弃!一次次的碰撞,一次次的摔倒,但我又一次一次鼓起信心向前撞去,因为我相信坚持的力量!
终于有一天,石块出现了微妙的裂痕。我惊喜若狂,加重浑身的力量,最后一撞……石块在我眼前轰然崩碎……映入眼前,是一幅美丽的图画:阳光如雨一般照射下来,花儿们在金色的光辉中,悄然舒展着自己的花瓣;耳边响着鸟儿们美妙的歌声;风,轻抚着我身上的累累伤口,带走了我所有的伤痛和疲倦。突然感觉,自己的一次次尝试和失败都是值得的。
风,徐徐吹着,我,悄悄成长着,始终不会忘记的,是那一次次的尝试……我坚信,终有所得!

篇16:除夕那一夜初中优秀日记
全文共 784 字
+ 加入清单随着鞭炮声,迎来了除夕之夜。街上张灯结彩,到处都是过年的景象。新年新气象,终于可以穿新衣,收红包,放鞭炮了,这是一年之中最美好的夜晚。
今天早上,我早早地起了床,和爷爷一起贴春联,挂灯笼,家里到处都红红火火的,洋溢着节日的热闹气氛。
夕阳西下,奶奶又忙着准备年夜饭。我和妈妈还有婶婶在一起包饺子,我擀皮儿,妈妈和婶婶则负责来包,大家在一起其乐融融。转眼间夜幕降临了,饺子包完了,奶奶把其中几个饺子里放上硬币,寓意谁吃到了,谁在新的一年里都会健康、平安、幸福、财源滚滚。我趁大家不注意,悄悄在这几个饺子上捏了个边,做上记号。饺子下锅了,不久,香喷喷的饺子端上了桌子,我早早把有记号的饺子夹了出来,然后叫大家一起吃饺子。我又发现锅中还剩几个饺子,就找漏勺想把它捞出来,奶奶赶忙说:“丫头,别捞了,那些是我故意剩的,寓意年年有余。”
饭桌上,我悄悄看了看那有硬币的饺子,心想:在这一年中,妈妈最辛苦,应该夹给妈妈。所以我偷偷把它放入妈妈的碗中。妈妈似乎读懂了我的心思,又把饺子夹给了爸爸。怎么能给爸爸呢?妈妈最辛苦了,应该妈妈吃呀!哎,算了,爸爸其实也很累、很辛苦,爸爸吃也好。正想着,爸爸把饺子夹给了爷爷,难道爸爸也知道了秘密?可是爷爷又把饺子夹给了奶奶。最后,大家都明白了,高兴地笑了起来,大家的眼神示意了一下,趁我不注意,把饺子又放到我和弟弟的碗里。哎!没办法,我只好在众目睽睽之下,吃了饺子,大家见状,都祝福我和弟在新的一年中身体健康,学习进步。
零点的钟声敲响了,新的一年到来了。走到屋外,千家万户燃放的烟花交错升起,一颗颗五颜六色的火花在天空中绽放,时而如天女散花,时而如群星闪烁,忽明忽暗,把夜空点缀成五彩缤纷的世界。绽放的烟花把天空照得亮如白昼,它预示着来年繁荣富强,幸福安康,这真是烟花飞舞的新年呀!
这是一个令我难忘的除夕,令我留恋的除夕,它带给我美好生活的希望。

+ 加入清单上学路上,下着雨。它没有倾盆大雨那样大,也没有毛毛雨那样细。它下得快而柔,像从树上落下樱桃那样出其不意,像新春的柳条那样随风飘荡。
那清爽凉快的感觉,落在你的头上、衣服上,落在你心里。看,在街上少了许多打伞的人,这在平常的雨天是很少见的,他们都在畅享雨带来的快意。
雨,打在头发上,打在屋檐上,打在雨伞上,闪烁着晶莹透亮的水光,绽放出一朵朵晶莹透亮的水花,亮闪闪的,没有一点污渍。
可惜好景不长。不一会,快而柔的雨点没有了,不打伞的人没有了,晶莹透亮的水光和水花没有了。雨变大了。

篇19:狂人日记的读书笔记初中
全文共 676 字
+ 加入清单鲁迅他运用了日记和精神病人内心的独白方式把他想所表达的资料发挥地淋漓尽致。那时候的人们生活在水生火热之中,而鲁迅为了我们中华民族的存亡,在这生死悠关的时刻,他抛弃了学医的梦想,抛弃了封建社会的思想主义,踏上了革命的道路,朝着文学殿堂为他展开的大门前进,用手中的笔跟敌人做战斗,用手中的笔挽救中华民族的灵魂,让人们明白祖国的荣辱兴衰。鲁迅他是一个作家,也同时是一个伟大的革命家。他用他手中的笔描绘着属于他自我的蓝天,他就在这片蓝天中尽情地展翅高飞,写作则是最适合他的“翅膀”。
鲁迅先生抨击了当时吃人的社会现实。他巧妙借助"我"这一主角,描绘了人性的丑恶与世界的残缺。说实话,这篇文章的色彩过于晦暗,但这晦暗中分明灼射着亮光,透露着激荡与高昂!"吃人!"真的是吃人吗?这显然不是先生的直接目的,先生眼中的吃人只可是是在社会现实的无情压迫和吞噬下,人性一点点地泯灭。或许在茫茫夜幕下,先生一人独立于窗前,望着窗外被流水般月光笼罩的夜独自叹息。"吃人的人的兄弟",天下谁不为兄弟?所以先生揭露的显然不只一人,而是整个民族。"食人"的民族,何时能清醒?先生以灰冷的一面,向尘世发泄着愤懑。然而,黑暗是如此的深广,吞噬了一切,仅有先生那炽热和焦灼的心在跳动着,熠熠发光!
读《狂人日记》,我深切体会到先生内心的痛苦。一方面他无力杯葛政府带来的压力,另一方面又为中华民族的衰亡而哀叹!所以全文结尾时,他发出了"救救孩子……"的呼唤。先生宁可燃烧自我,把光亮留给孩子们,因为那不仅仅是孩子,不仅仅是生命,更是期望!
篇20:大学英语日记感恩节
全文共 1064 字
+ 加入清单Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated in much of North America, generally
observed as an expression of gratitude, usually to God. The most common view of
its origin is that it was to give thanks to God for the bounty of the autumn
harvest. In the United States, the holiday is celebrated on the fourth Thursday
in November. In Canada, where the harvest generally ends earlier in the year,
the holiday is celebrated on the second Monday in October, which is observed as
Columbus Day or protested as Indigenous Peoples Day in the United States.
Thanksgiving is traditionally celebrated with a feast shared among friends
and family. In the United States, it is an important family holiday, and people
often travel across the country to be with family members for the holiday. The
Thanksgiving holiday is generally a "four-day" weekend in the United States, in
which Americans are given the relevant Thursday and Friday off. Thanksgiving is
almost entirely celebrated at home, unlike the Fourth of July or Christmas,
which are associated with a variety of shared public experiences.
