篇1:生活告诉我初一作文

全文共 680 字

+ 加入清单

曾经有人说过,“生活是一位学问渊博的老师。”事实看来的确如此,东升西落的太阳向我们阐述着时光匆匆,年华易逝;天上悠悠飘荡的白云平伏我们急躁的心灵,“别着急,别着急,慢慢来。”我们生活在这大千世界中,殊不知生活里隐含了许许多多的大道理。

烈日当空,刚踏进校门的我汗流浃背,一抬头,进入眼帘的仿佛是一条仿佛没有尽头,悠长悠长的斜坡。我心中晦暗道:“天呀!这何时是一个尽头啊!”

没办法,路总是要走的。我深深的吸了一口气,仿若一名英勇的武士大踏步地向前走。一棵又一棵的树在我身边略过,地上的枝叶被我一次又一次地踢起,直到我头昏目眩,不得以的我停了下来。又一抬头,我倒吸了一口凉气,“何时是一个尽头!”路依然平铺在那里恬静地睡着。

太阳懒洋洋地挂在天边,晒得我连眼睛都撑不开了,几只刚午睡醒来的知了卖弄着自己沙哑得嗓音,真烦人啊!这上学的路何时是一个尽头啊!上课预备铃“轻快”地响起,促使我不能再停留了。我用手托起书包,一蒙头,一股气,轮起双脚,不顾头上挥洒的汗水,向前,再向前,一切仿佛都为我吹响了号角,碎散的叶片把阳光切成块片,投洒在我身上,枯叶被我踩在脚下,知了也为我歌唱,耳边传来“嗦嗦”的风声。我一脚踏上斜坡喘着气,回头一看,“马上要到了尽头了!可实际只走了一小部分。”汗水大滴大滴地往下流,我用手一抹,湿了一片,闪着金光。我到底是怎样走过来的?

一阵风突然吹过,它低声对我说:“无论多长的路,都需要你一步一步走下去,你就是一蒙头,一股气,一步一步走过来的来的。”

是啊,生活就像是一条仿佛没有尽头,悠长悠长的斜坡需要你一蒙头,一股气,一步一步走过来的来,学习也一样。

身为您的学子一年了,在您的印象中,我应该一直是个学习一般,只有几门课程较为突出,平时不爱捣乱的女学生.好象就在昨天,我鼓足了我所有的勇气及胆量走进了您的办公室,小声的说出了“我想换位“这四个字,并断断续续的说出了我想换位的理由,您耐心的听我说完,并答应了我的请求,因为您说,只要有足够的理由我就可以考虑.

应该就是今天,我反悔了,想重新回到我之前的位置,我知道我这个请求很无聊,但是我真的没有捣乱的意思,我没有想到我会后悔,当我想用书写的形式告诉您时,我却更需要莫大的勇气来告诉您,您要知道,反悔比决定一件事难多了,我好象想到了您看完这封信时感到不可思议的神情,并说:换位这件事怎么可能胡乱的开玩笑???该决定好的就应该决定好才对.老师,我真的很矛盾,妈妈也否定了我的想法,网友们也批评了我的不是.但我觉的我是对的,虽然我的做法不是很好,但是这次是我最真实的想法,并且我将永远不再反悔,这也许是我人生中比较重大的一次决定,也许对我以后的人生起到了好与坏的作用,可能对我有一个比较大的启示,可能会让我明白很多……

老师,我想告诉你,我虽然不太爱说话,但是我也有自己的勇气,也有自己的毅力,更有自己的决定.我希望我能为自己争取一次机会,我可以保证自己能在以后的生活中不将出尔反尔,而是决定了一件事之后就干到底.

老师,我多希望您能看到这篇文章,明白我内心的感受,我决定开学后就跟您说我的想法,起码我为自己努力过!!

篇5:平安夜给某某的一封英文信

全文共 3435 字

+ 加入清单

Good brother,

It has been some time since I read your letter. Have seen many times, in

the mind also has a lot of words to say, but... I never knew where to start. On

this Christmas Eve night, let me start with memories.

Dude, Im not a pushy girl. In your eyes, I am the little sister in your

memory. I am the single woman who was alone in a foreign country, weak in heart

but strong to face life. At that time, I was alone in the face of difficulties

in other countries, alone for life, simply for survival and struggle. At that

time, I had to be strong. Since my childhood, I have been a happy, carefree girl

around my parents. During those years in a foreign country, stress and

loneliness made me grow up. However, I am still not strong.

Eldest brother, I have benefited a lot from the four years suffering

abroad. I have learned a lot and grown up a lot. Maybe it is gods reward for

me. After coming back to China, my career, life, smooth and peaceful for a few

years. However, I am still lonely, many times, the heart is very bitter very

bitter, as when writing this letter, alone. The tears would flow when I

remembered the things I had buried in my heart.

Brother, I, too, want company. Want to take a persons hand, walk together

after the day, face this complex world together. Just want to be a little woman,

can take a persons hand, a person can be heart to heart, from now on, no matter

what things, all to face together.

These years, and brother has been out of touch. Always remember you once

said a sentence. Friends, is in the heart, no matter how no contact, no meeting.

But in my heart, I always remember having such a friend. Your love and care has

always been in my heart. I havent talked to you in depth for a long time, so

Ill go on.

The reason I have remained alone all these years is not because of the

conditions I set for my partner. I want a person, actually very simple. Ha ha,

big brother, dont laugh at me. I just want a little love.

In this day and age, all people will tell me that nothing is more illusory

than love. But I, still stubbornly looking forward to, there is a warm, real

person can appear.

I, however, is an ordinary woman, but also just want to live an ordinary

day. Fall in love with someone, then face life with him, work hard for the

future together, raise a child together.

Several times during the blind date, the plain man sitting opposite asked

me, what do you want from the man. A house? Income? Or a car. Can face such a

problem, I always cant speak, only smile, the heart of despair and pain began

to spread...

Brother, I am just a woman with a strong exterior and a soft heart. So,

now, what kind of person do you think I should accept at the time of blind date?

Im not asking for a strong man, as you say. I just want a gentle, understand

life, know love, know how to cherish people.

Life is short. You can let yourself, and live for yourself is even shorter.

But sometimes also want to do not cooperate with their parents so unfilial, will

also think, perhaps, marriage is a can not be so selfish thing, even if it is to

comfort their parents, also should let their marriage as soon as possible.

Xi an, the city we live in now. Old and elegant. Is the home that has been

on my mind when I was a vagabond. In the next year, I will continue to live in

this city in a down-to-earth way. I hope that there will be one person who can

fall in love with each other in a down-to-earth way. This is a Wish made on

Christmas Eve.

Miss ~ ~

篇10:让我把幸福告诉你

“从明天起,做一个幸福的人。喂马,劈柴,周游世界……”每每读到海子的这首诗时,心中总涌起一阵暖意。幸福?幸福不是属于名利场中争斗的赢者,亦不是有着豪宅的百万富翁,仅仅是去劈柴,喂马,做自己想做的事,静静地播下一粒种子,等它发芽……

让我悄悄地把幸福告诉你。我的幸福就是在星期日睡个懒觉,我的幸福就是在夏日的夜晚数一数眨眼的小星星,我的幸福就是在闲暇时可以看蚂蚁搬家……有这样的幸福我已足矣。这样的幸福平淡、温馨,但又不像海市蜃楼那样,美丽却又虚缈。

你有没有漫步花园,去看那花开花落?你有没有在沙滩上奔跑,看那潮涨潮落?你不必去叹惜花落的时节是秋,你不必去感叹潮落在那黄昏时刻。若没有它们的低谷,你会在意它们片刻的辉煌吗?小小的磕绊也是一种幸福。

“从明天起,关心粮食和蔬菜,我有一所房子,面朝大海,春暖花开”花终究会开,噩梦也会醒来,你的春天和世界同在。只要你心中有着不灭的梦,那么你便可以拥有百分之百的幸福。一旦有什么不如意,那么你可以躺下,做一个美梦,醒来,还有情趣,去研究今天的柴米油盐价。

春天,你一来,就迫不及待地让花儿们脱下冬装,穿上漂亮的新裙子,翩翩起舞。春天,你总爱做恶作剧,这不,每年你都兴致勃勃地催醒熟睡的小草,看它们钻出土地后,茫然无措东张西望的样子,还不厌其烦,乐在其中。恶作剧还一个接着一个,瞧瞧,你呼出一口气,混着未退却的凉意,惊醒了人们,扫掉了他们整整一冬天的萎靡不振,沉沉睡意。他们匆匆忙忙穿上衣服,围着你又唱又跳,你居然红了脸。我轻轻拥着你,在你的耳旁,悄悄地告诉你,我喜欢你!

春天,你是男孩子还是女孩子呢?女孩子吧!你瞧你!每天都打扮的花枝招展,芳香四溢,引得蝴蝶先生绕着你跳舞,引得蜜蜂小姐嫉妒地偷走了你的香包,更是引得风度翩翩的燕子大哥每年跟你走南闯北,即使风尘仆仆也毫无怨言。春天,你是男孩子还是女孩子呢?男孩子吧!那么调皮捣蛋!不然怎么会把柳树婆婆辛辛苦苦攒了一个冬天的“雪花”给吹得到处都是呢?不然怎么会在小河公公的面具上滑来滑去,还把面具给滑碎了呢?我要给你写一封信,好好教育教育你,让你明白如何体贴人,不过,我一定会在信末悄悄地告诉你,不管你是男孩还是女孩,我都喜欢你!

长夜漫漫,无梦难眠,几番午夜梦回后,已是睡意全无,索性步至阳台,微倚窗角。观夜雨,听声烦。姥婆旧时的容颜在雨中乍然忽现。——题记

犹谨记多年前的日子,尚且年幼的我还是孑然一身童稚,与姥婆齐居乡下。

记忆中的老人个子矮矮的,面色极好,颜如人面桃花,成天乐呵呵的。作为当时全村唯一一名读过书的女子,没事还教我习字呢!

有姥婆的时光总是多彩的:春诵古诗文,夏品鱼滋鲜;秋拾果满筐,冬识大字文。那缤纷的童趣,行走在四季,洋溢着欢笑,涨溢着情深。纵有万条情丝缠缚,拭不去的,是一缕无言的温存。

时光缱绻如画,岁月如风如云。它如一掌细碎流沙,只要得某一刻,便会悄然从指缝间慢慢流失。无意间,三年余载随风而过,已是上学的年龄了,随着父母来到市内就读小学。往后的半年,也不曾回过老家,更未曾有过姥婆的音讯。

那时天真的我日日夜夜思念着姥婆,盼望着祖孙二人的重逢。暑假到了,本想能去了;姥婆家过宿了,但听父母说姥婆被大姨接去大洋彼岸了,再因种种难推的兴趣班,我等;过年了,可算能回老家了,却不见姥婆身影,听说还在国外,我等。

这一晃便又是一年,这一年我犹记姥婆叮嘱之言,认真学习,积极向上,不负老人的期望。但直至那天……

阁楼里,我偶然发现了姥婆的遗像——黑白一色,阴阳两界,天人永隔。

那天,我哭得无声。蜷缩在阴暗角落,数得千枚零落红豆。

时光一别经年,从不曾忘旧容颜。梅香一缕清浅,仿佛故人梦中相见……又是四年侧畔而过。

窗外,夜色迷离;雨幕,纵横窗沿。昏黄的灯光渲染俱黑大地,带来一丝看得见的怅然。四下空空如也,仿佛寂静无声。我禁闭双眼,似乎能依稀耳闻自己血管勃起之声。姥婆走近,又走远。那些往事随风而来,在我眼前飞啊飞……我像是在做梦一样,梦里如初,姥婆清瘦矮小的身影于斑斓的流光迸发而收敛。

我满眼泪水,久久不敢睁开。——后记

Recently, I read a great book,Childhood,which is written byGorky. It’s a novel based on the experiences of the author’s tragic childhood, telling the stories about the author between his three to ten years old. Aliocha has a bad childhood.

Great-grandmother is the only person who cherished him. Besides, Aliocha also feel the pureness, friendship by his playmates. Through this book, we can see a poor, ugly society, but we also can see an adamant, compassionate little child who constantly pursuits of good things in life.

篇20:愚人节英文优秀作文

全文共 2400 字

However, communications being what they were in the days when news traveled by foot, many people did not receive the news for several years. Others, the more obstinate crowd, refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1. These backward folk were labeled as "fools" by the general populace. They were subject to some ridicule, and were often sent on "fools errands" or were made the butt of other practical jokes.

This harassment evolved, over time, into a tradition of prank-playing on the first day of April. The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the English and French. April Fools Day thus developed into an international fun fest, so to speak, with different nationalities specializing in their own brand of humor at the expense of their friends and families.

In Scotland, for example, April Fools Day is actually celebrated for two days. The second day is devoted to pranks involving the posterior region of the body. It is called Taily Day. The origin of the "kick me" sign can be traced to this observance.

Mexicos counterpart of April Fools Day is actually observed on December 28. Originally, the day was a sad remembrance of the slaughter of the innocent children by King Herod. It eventually evolved into a lighter commemoration involving pranks and trickery.

Pranks performed on April Fools Day range from the simple, (such as saying, "Your shoes untied, or I accidentally stepped on your glasses!), to the elaborate. Setting a roommates alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "April Fool!"

Practical jokes are a common practice on April Fools Day. Sometimes, elaborate practical jokes are played on friends or relatives that last the entire day. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fools Day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees.

April Fools Day is a "for-fun-only" observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. Its simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!
