介绍北京的英语作文初三精选20篇

大家好！欢迎大家到八达岭景区观光旅游。今天有幸陪同大家一起参观，我很高兴，望各能在八达岭度过一段美好的时光。

长城是世界闻名的奇迹之一，它像一条巨龙盘踞在中国北方的辽阔的土地上。它是中国古代劳动人民血法的结晶，也是中国古代文化的象征和中华民族的骄傲。

游客们，我们已经来到了着名的八达岭长城，您向远处看，可以发现这里的长城分为南、北两峰，蜿蜒于山脊之上，龙腾虎跃、气象万千，景色十分壮观。往下面看是有两个门洞和u字形的城墙缎怕谳瓮城。在瓮城墙上内外两面都有垛口墙，四面拒敌。倘若敌人攻破关门涌入城内，将受到四面守城将围歼，敌人如落瓮中。瓮城是长城的一个重要组成部分。它一般都建在地形险要的交通要道上。八达岭的瓮城也不例外。建在山脊上，受地形限制，依山就势，东低西高，东窄西宽，仅有5000平方米。瓮城内无井，水源缺乏，平常驻兵不多，守城部队驻在西北三里的岔道城。瓮城中原有一座“察院公馆”，是供皇帝路过驻跸或官员停留住宿的。瓮城两门之间相距63。9米，西门楣题额“北门锁钥”，它的用意我在前面已经讲过。城门洞上，古进安装有巨大的双扇木门，门内安装有木顶柱和锁闩。平时，大门敞开，行人商旅自由出入；战时城门紧闭，严实坚固；一旦发出反击号令，城门洞又是千军万马发起冲锋的出口。瓮城的东门楣题额为“居庸外填”，修建于明嘉靖十八年。在“居庸外镇”关城的城台上，原来嵌有一块石碑，为明朝万历年间刻制。从碑文可以看一带长城，先后经80多年时间才完成。这碑中还记录着修筑长城的时间、长度、主持官和管工头、烧头、窑匠头、泥瓦匠头和名字，以明确责任。站在城上向下看，我们中以看到来往不断的车辆和从门洞穿过的游人。这里不仅是古代重要的军事防御关口，而且也是交通要道。从这里南通昌平、北京，北去延庆，西北往宣化、张家口，“路从此分，四通八达”。八达岭也因此得名。

我们往右下方看，在登城口的南侧陈列着一门大炮，名为“这时威大将军”。这门炮炮身长2。85米，口径105毫米，由于中炮身上铸有“敕赐神威大将”而得名。字最大的射程是500多米，可见当时的军工业是比较发达的。

从关城城台到南峰的最高处南4楼，城墙长685。8米，高度上升142。4米，特别是南3楼至南4楼之间，山脊狭窄，山势陡峭，长城逶迤400多米。城顶最险处，坡度约为70度，几乎是直上直下。南1楼和南2楼，都没有修复二层，从南3楼遗存的柱础看，原来也有铺房。

南峰长城以南4楼地势最高，海拔803。6米。登楼眺望，长城自西南向东北蜿蜓于山脊之上，宛如苍龙，宏伟壮观。使人不由得想起我国着名的长城专家罗哲文先生登临八达岭长城时咏的诗；千峰叠翠拥居庸，山北山南处处峰。锁钥北门天设险，半哉峻岭走长龙。从南4楼到南7楼，高度逐渐下降。南5楼与南6楼之间在长城的内侧距城墙30米的山脊上，耸立着一座白色的小亭，这就是1987年6月落成的“贵州省修复长城纪念碑亭”。南6楼是一座铺房，铺房建在上层的顶上，面阔三间，硬山顶，红柱子，灰色瓦，小巧玲珑。这大概是当年“千总”的指挥所。

今天的长城，早已失去军事价值，而以其特有的魅力，吸引着广大中外游客，成为举世闻名的旅游胜地。随着旅游业的发展，长城这一中华民族的象征，全世界重要的文化遗产，会焕发出新的生机。以更优质的旅游服务、更优美的旅游环境迎接着大家的到来！

初三英语作文：The space

The earth moves round the sun,and the moon moves round the earth.When our part of the earth turns to the sun,it is day. When our part of the earth turns away from the sun,it is night.

The sun is bigger than the moon.But sometimes the moon looks bigger than the sun,because it is much nearer to the earth.

The sun is very bright.It gives very strong light.The moon looks quite bright,too,but it doesnt give any light at all.The light from the moon comes from the sun.

The moon looks much bigger and brighter than the other stars.But in fact many stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon.They look smaller than the moon because they are farther away from the earth.

Football is the world’s most popylar sport. We play football at the playground. We also have fun when we play football. We also call it soccer.

Our students must do exercises everyday to stay healthy, and I’ve found that play football is a very good way to stay healthy. Football players must be rugged. It’s one of the most popular sports all over the world. We can run on the ground for a long time and we also can prove our friendship with the members of our team.

More and more people like watching football matches. They can’t sleep or eat when their teams are playing. They shout for their players. I think many Chinese football players have done better match after match. But we will have a long way to go to Asia and to the world. We should learn from foreign teams. Foreign players and coaches must be invited. Dalian Wanda, Shanghai Shenhua and Guangdong Apollo are among the best teams.

I love playing football, because I can play football to stay healthy, football is a good sport.

Kelly is one of my classmates. She is a pretty girl but a little bit shy. She seldom talks to others. But my classmates still like her very much. Smiles are always on her face and she is friendly to others. Her study is very good. When we ask her some questions, she is always ready to help. Singing is her favorites and she sings well. I think she is a talented girl.

凯莉是我的同学之一。她是个漂亮的女孩，但是她有点害羞。她很少和别人说话，但是同学们仍然很喜欢她。她脸上总是露出微笑，对别人十分友善。她的成绩很好。当我们问她问题的时候，她总是乐意帮忙。她最喜欢唱歌，而且唱得很好。我觉得她是一个有天赋的女孩。

英语，是全世界通用的语言，只要你会说英语，不管走到哪里，就都不用担心受怕了。

我喜欢英语这门学科。最早接触英语的时候是小学三年级，当时学校对这门新开设的功课虽然比较重视，但没有安排单元检测，所以大家上英语课都比较散漫，整个课堂都闹哄哄的，而且我们的老师水平似乎也不高。那个时候，我对英语并不感兴趣。

直到五年级，我们换了一个英语老师，这个新老师长得很漂亮，英语说得很好，我很喜欢她。刚开始，我是因为她的美貌，想让她注意我，才在课堂上认真听讲的。后来，我学进去之后，才发现英语很有意思，也很“好学”，因此，我对英语产生来浓厚的兴趣。

有一回，我在超市买东西，偶然地看到了一个外国人，因为在那之前我从未看到过外国人，所以对她很好奇。金黄色的长发，棕色的眼睛，高挺的鼻子，简直是深深地迷住了我。我那时就一直看着她，当然，我知道这样是很不礼貌的，可是我就是对她充满了好奇心。我很想走过去和她说几句话，可是我又不敢。后来，她好像注意到了我，对我笑了一笑。她这一笑简直是让我欣喜若狂，在那一刻，我就下定决心一定要学好英语，一定要能和外国人流利地交谈。

从此我就经常去找英语老师，向老师了解一些关于外国和英语有关的事。

现在初中了，我还是对英语有浓厚的兴趣。黄老师很亲切，每次看到她，就像是看到老熟人一样。我很喜欢上她的课，有时我都巴不得一整天都上英语课。英语课很轻松，几乎都是洋溢着笑声的。黄老师还能说一口流利的英文，可以完全听懂老外的话，也可以流利地和老外交流，这一点，我特别羡慕黄老师。她是我的偶像，是我的榜样，我要像她看齐（虽然她是我的老师）。

班上很多人觉得我上英语课和外教可很激动，确实，我承认，但这也是我喜欢英语的一种方式。我对英语有一种莫名的喜欢，看到老外，我就像是吃了兴奋一样，就算原本不高兴也会变得很高兴。

上外教课时，我会很认真地听讲，虽然有很多听不懂，老外抽问时，我也都会积极地举手发言，哪怕是回答不了。我也不会觉得丢脸，因为我站起来回答问题，也是给自己的一次锻炼机会，同时也和老外多接触了一次，所以，哪怕是回答不了问题，我也是很开心的。

这个暑假我去看了上海的世博会，我在世博园里大开了眼界，里面有好多的外国人。每看到外国人我都会主动上去邀请他们和我一起拍照。刚开始和老外交流时，我有些害怕，怕自己说不好英语，但是那些热情的外国人个给予了我勇气，让我敢于大声发出邀请，“Can you teke photos with me？”（你能和我一起拍照吗？）当然，在和外国人交涉的时候我也碰过壁，那是在地铁站里，我看到一个外国人，我很开心地看来他一眼，可他却皱着眉头，用不标准的普通话说“不要看我。”这句话让当时的我很是尴尬，因为我从未碰到过这种状况，这次的事，让我注意起对待老外的应有礼节，但这并不影响我对英语的热爱。

从小学到现在，我对英语的热爱是越来越深。

在这里，我想说：“I love English”

As it is known to us all ,LuXun is a famous Chinese writer. He is not only a writer, thinker, but also the founder of Chinese Literature . He wrote many classic (经典的)novels and his stories, which are translated many languages, were made into film,such as The True Story of AH Q and The New Years Sacrifice,which deeply showed peoples suffering in the old days.

Because of his achievement to Chinese literature, Chairman Mao spoke highly of him. Besides, some of his works were selected into the text books in high school and university. I think youll gain a lot from reading his works.

My father is a bus driver. He has been working on it for more than ten years. He drives the No.9 bus of my city. Its routine starts from the east and then cross the city goes the the west. This work is toilsome, especially in the summer and winter, because its hot in summer but cold in winter. Everyday, my father just stays in the narrow place and barely moves. He always gets up very early and comes home late. His work is boring but my father says that he must work hard to support our family. I hope I can grow up quickly and have a good job, so that my father do not have to work so hard.

In my memory, I will never efface the image of a common service worker.

It was last New Year when all my family members gathered together that suddenly the heating pipe broke up. The warm steam burst forth from the crack. We could do nothing but have a shot at calling the household management center. Fortunately, someone answered it and decided to send a person here.

Ten minutes later, a middle-aged man came. He quickly shut the valve, but one of his hand was hurt by a spine carelessly. Not having a rest, he replaced the broken pipe. It took him half an hour to finish replacing it. Only after that did he remember his injured hand.

In our thankful sight, he disappeared in the curtain of night. He must have been getting together with his family, but he did the job for the sake fo others’ convenience at this special night. What a nice man! I will never forget him.
