自我介绍是向别人展示你自我介绍好不好，甚至直接关系到你给别人的第一印象的好坏及以后交往的顺利与否。下面是小编整理的高中生自我介绍，欢迎来参考！ 高中生个人自我介绍（一）

大家好，我的名字叫李XX（你的名字），我是一个刚刚迈入高中大门的高一一新生，与众多新生一样，我带着充满好奇和有着强烈求知欲望的心来到了神圣的殿堂。想必大家对我还不是很熟悉吧！

本人相貌平平：圆圆的脸上嵌着一双不大但炯炯有神的眼睛；眼睛下面是塌的几乎贴到脸上的鼻子，甚至能让人想起"坦荡平原"";鼻子下面是我那张能说会道的嘴，它时常能帮助我给大家带来欢乐！我虽然相貌平平，但是我的性格却和很多和我同龄的女生大不一样：

我有一头乌黑、清爽的短发，再"配"上我的外表和名字，怎么看怎么像一个男孩子。我的爱好和性格也和众多男生一样，我爱好体育，羽毛球和乒乓球室我的最爱；我的性格也和男生差不多，我喜欢干事利索，一本正经，有始有终，不喜欢拖泥带水，磨磨蹭蹭的。这也许算是我的优点吧！因为，从小我就喜欢一本正经、坚持不懈地去做一件事，就算遇上再大的困难，我也会继续。我可不是在吹牛：

记得我刚从老家转学到北京的时候，我对英语真得可以说是七窍通了六窍——一窍不通。那时我已经四年级了，我这个人本来就要强，看着同学们在考试的时候总是能拿到理想的分数，自己却不可以，心里真得很不是滋味。也就是在这时候，我在心里暗暗里下决心：我一定要赶上我们班同学，争取超越他们！从那以后，我便开始为兑现自己的诺言付出努力：每周日都上3个小时的课外班；每天晚上都做练习……就这样，凭着我对英语的执着，我的英语成绩慢慢的提高了，不知不觉中，我的英语成绩已经名列前茅，这使得我别提有多高兴了！同样，这也印证了中国的一句古话：世上无难事，只怕有心人！你们说，是吗

没有一个人是完美的，当然我也许多缺点。但其中最"致命"的还是我非常的马虎。这个缺点已经伴随了我六年了，我真得很想改掉它。可是，我怎么努力也无济于事，总是在重要关头出现一些小错误。我真的希望我可以改掉这个缺点，还是那句老话：世上无难事，只怕有心人！我相信，总有一天我会有我的优点战胜我致命的缺点。

你们认识我了吗？这就是我，一个相貌平平的我，一个像男孩子一样的我，一个坚持不懈地我，一个马虎的我。 高中生个人自我介绍（二）

尊敬的老师，同学们，你们好。

我叫超超，这名字可能有人听说过，也许有人很陌生，但今天的这次介绍，我将要让你们了解我，认识我。我是今年的九月来到xx一中的，毕业xx学校，心中也是满心欢喜。在平时的学习中，动脑筋的问题想得确实很快，在数学、物理等计算上能过得了关，而文史类的读物，我更有我独特的见解。认为时间最宝贵的是生命、时间与精神。认为会感受与思考的不仅使大脑，还有心灵。

在这几天中，我认识了一些同学，彼此之间的沟通不仅很融洽，而且增进了友谊。人生地不熟的地方，我去得多了，这不是第一次也不是最后一次，因为我，还会在以后的社会上这个更大的陌生世界去拼搏，去生存，为了给将来打下藤好的基础，所以，今天的我，要比以前更努力。平常我们几乎在用肉眼看这个世界，有人说：这样会看得真，看得失。但我经常用新看这个世界，原来闭上眼睛之后的感受，是那么前所未有的清晰。只提上的感受是比不上精神的振奋的。所以鲁迅弃医从文，也可能是想到了这一点吧。之所以，语文的地位对我来说是更高的一个层次，是精神崛起的寄托。

这就是我，一个思想极为复杂而可望新事物的人，所以对未来，也是想象的并不是很美，但只要我努力去做，相信这个世界对我来说是可以向往的未来。希望能在班上大家能多多指教，谢谢！

Since we go to school, the teachers educate us to be a better person, they

tell us that we must study hard, so that we can be the useful person. Many

students confuse about what is the useful person. In my opinion, the useful

person must have the good merit.

A person with the kind heart is favored by everyone and he has the sense to

serve others. The bad person will bring danger to others, even to the society.

The most important thing of the useful person is to make a contribution to the

society.

They will make full use of their knowledge and be proud of serving for the

society. Our premier Zhou stated his purpose of learning knowledge was to make

our country rise. He did it and he became the great person. Becoming the useful

person is not easy, we should fight for it.

What is art? When people think about this question, they will naturally

think about all kinds of musical instruments or the great paintings in the art

museums. Art seems to so far away from the ordinary people, but I don’t think

so. Art is everywhere. For example, the delicious food that is made by our

parents is the great art, and the value of the food is to bring people the great

joy when they have a taste of it. The scenery around us is the visible art, when

we appreciate it, our mood become eased. Art is something that brings people the

positive value for me, so art is around everybody. If we take time to slow down

our pace, then we can enjoy art from life and feel the comfortable

lifestyle.

Please allow me to introduce myself fou you. My name is xx, I am as born in Qinghai Province. Very honored to have this opportunity to come here to interview. Now I will briefly introduce themselves.

I graduated from the Qinghai first vocational schools.

My specialty is computer software applications.

In the past year I have the basic expertise. I like reading books, watching movies, listening to music, and so on. I think I am an honest and optimistic, can also work under great pressure. This is probably, thank you.

Mothers love, like a long river, she quiet, occasionally with a slightly ripples; Her clear, can see the activity on pebbles in the river; She gently, such as the spring breeze slowly to send me. Mothers love for me, I also countless. However, in my impression deepest is the following a few things:

It was a summer night, suddenly the power went out, cant blow fanner. Hot cant sleep, my mother took their fan back and give me a breeze, let me fall asleep. Not only has a comfortable and cool, cool wind also mixed with mom to my thick love, bring me into the sweet dreams.

Another time, I in his home village and play with my cousin. I and my cousin play together I run, but with a small stones I tripped and fell. After I get up, I found more lap a wound, the wound is big and red, and blood flow out, it hurt so much I tears dc. Mother took me to the next to the small clinic simple after disinfection, ready to take me back home, but she was afraid to touch my wound, it just took me home.

Every night when I was learning, every once in a while, mother will always ask me: "daughter, thirst not thirsty, drink some water." And then holding a large glass of water. Water is always warm, let the house is full of warm meaning. Her mother know that I am afraid of hot, so the water right every time. She drink a first, say: "hot", just pass me water to drink.

The father loves the mountain, a mothers love is like the sea. Drop a mothers love can make a mothers love of the great river. Mom, I love you!

The Huang Mountain is a place of interest. here are lots of tourists seeing sights every day. Years ago, some of them paid no attention to environment protection. They threw about waste paper, plastic bags and tins. Besides, they killed animals, caught birds, destroyed trees and flowers. Worse still,

they often made a fire to cook in the forest. That was dangerous. Changes have taken place now. When tourists leave, they take away rubbish with them. They no longer hunt animals. Plants are also protected. All the tourists carry their lunch in order not to start forest fire. We must sing high praise of the good deeds.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Its my honor totell you about the changes of my school.

When you walk around our school, you can see various flowersand trees everywhere. At the same time, you can smell the taste, breathe freshair. Its a nice place for us to study.

Please look at the new building over there. Its ourlibrary that was painted white again this year. It not only looks morebeautiful, but also has increasingly more books than before. Reading differentkinds of books can enhance our horizons and increase our knowledge. I stillremember I entered the school two years ago, the library was old enough and Ialways couldnt find my favorite comic books. Therefore, I often complained tomy classmates that the library was out of fashion that we were not able tolearn fresh knowledge in it.

What was even worse, as a member of school basketballteam, my partners and I had few chances to practice, as the playground was toosmall to play andfull of so many students after school. Luckily, I dont haveto worry about that anymore, because our playground is large enough for all ofus to play games, and basketball court is also bigger. Thats wonderful!

My school has changed a lot, for it is more beautifuland modern. I love my school.

写作是对同学们英语综合能力的考查，是最能体现大家英语水平的一种检测方式。学生在写作的过程当中经常会暴露一些弱点、犯一些错误。今天，我们对大家英语作文中的常见错误进行简要归纳，并举以实例，大家在今后的英语写作中要尽量避免这些错误的发生。

一.名词

写作中，学生们常把握不好名词的数、所有格以及一些集合名词的用法。

1.Hegavemeaverygoodadviceyesterday.

句中的a要去掉，因为advice是不可数名词。一些汉语概念为可数的词在英语中却是不可数的，表示数量时在要其前加apieceof，类似的词有：news,bread,work,paper,chalk,furniture,information等等。

2.Thatgirllovesreadingbook.

可数名词单数不能孤零零地放在句子里，或前面加冠词，或将其变为复数。此处最好变为books.

3.Hewentintoabooksshopandboughtadictionary.

一般表示有生命的东西的名词的所有格用’s，如mymother’scar,而此处适宜用名词修饰名词，改为abookshop.

4.MyfamilyiswatchingTV.

一些集合名词如看成一个整体，则用单数的谓语动词，如Myfamilyisahappyone.如果强调集合中每个个体的个人行为，则用复数的谓语动词。此处看电视是个体行为，应把is改为are。类似的词有：team,class,audience等。

5.Iboughtsomepotatosandtomatosatthesupermarket.

中学阶段，以“o”结尾的名词中有四个词变复数时要加es，它们是tomato,potato,Negro,hero;其余的都加s变为复数。

6.Thishasnothingtodowiththeirbelieves.（这和他们的信仰没关系。）

以f,fe结尾的词变为复数时一般去f,fe加ves，如knife—knives,

thief—thieves;而roof和belief直接加s变为复数。所以应把believes改为beliefs.

二.冠词

7.Thebosswantstohireanusefulperson.

用a还是an，取决于后面单词音标中的第一个音，如为元音用an，为辅音用a。useful的第一个音是辅音所以应把an改为a。类似的，我们说aEuropeancountry.

8.Planeisamachinethatcanfly.

plane为可数名词单数，不能单独放在句中，应在其前加冠词或把它变为复数，而本句后有amachine,因此只能在其前面加a，变为Aplane。

9.Heplayedapianoatthepartyyesterday.

把a改为the，因为乐器前用定冠词。

10.Themachinewasinventedin1920s.

在in后加the，因为表示年代用in加the再加几十的复数，如在八十年代inthe80s。

11.XiaoHongwenttoschoolbythebuseveryday.

去掉the，因为表示交通方式用by直接加交通工具。

三.代词

使用代词时请注意其单、复数，主、宾格以及形容词性物主代词和名词性物主代词的用法。

12.Heisoneofthosespeakerswhomakehisideasperfectlyclear.

定语从句的先行词是thosespeakers，为复数，因此从句中的指示代词应为复数，应把his改为their。

13.Whomdoyouthinkhasleftthelightson?

放在疑问句特殊疑问词后的doyouthink/believe/guess/imagine/suppose等都不参与句子成分。本句中去掉doyouthink后缺的是主语，应把Whom改为Who。

14.ThebosspretendednottoseeJohnandI.

John和I在句中都做的宾语，应把I改为me。

15.Thesebooksaremine；thoseinthebagareher.

her是形容词性物主代词，后面应该加名词books，或把her改为hers。

四.数词

16.Therearefourteenhundredsstudentsinourschool.

hundred/thousand/million/score/dozen等词前有具体数字时后不加s，前面没有具体数字时在其后加s和of，表示大约几百几千的概念。如two

hundredstudents（两百个学生），hundredsofstudents（成百上千个学生）。例句中应把hundreds改为hundred。

17.Theirschoolistwiceaslargerasourschool.

表倍数关系的as...as中间只能用形容词或副词的原级。因此应把larger改为large.

18.Today’shomeworkisafive-hundred-wordscomposition.

几个单词由连字符连接而组成的复合形容词中的名词只能用单数，所以把five-hundred-words改为five-hundred-word.

19.TwothirdofthestudentsinourschoolarefromAmerica.

英语表达中分数的分子用基数词，分母用序数词，分子大于一时分母后要加s，所以就把third改为thirds.

五.形容词和副词

形容词和副词容易被误用，形容词和副词的比较级和最高级也是应注意的重点。

20.Thepatientappearednervouslywhenhetalkedtothedoctor.

appear在此是个系动词，其后应接形容词作表语。所以应把nervously改为nervous.

21.Theartistworkedhardlytofinishhisdrawingsontime.

此句需要一个副词来修饰，hardly是副词，但意为“几乎不”，hard也可以是副词，表努力，因此把hardly改为hard.

22.Thisshirtismorecheaperthanthatone.

more只构成比较级，而不能修饰比较级。因此把more去掉。

23.Heisthemostsuccessfulofthetwobusinessmen.

两者相比较时，比较级前用定冠词，三者或三者以上才用most，因此把most改为more.

24.Heworkslessharderthanheusedto.

表不如?...时用less加上形容词和副词的原级，因此把harder改为hard.

25.Thebookisfairlymoreinterestingthanthatone.

fairly只能修饰形容词和副词的原级，可以修饰比较级的副词或短语有：much,even,still,far,alot,alittle,abit,any,no,byfar,rather等，因此把fairly改为rather.

26.Thisisasaninterestingastoryastheoneinthemagazine.

as?as中间的词序是as加上形容词加上a(n)加上名词再加上as，因此应改为asinterestingastoryastheone.

27.Theweatherhereisnicerthan.

同样的事物才能相比较，weather和不具有可比性，因此应改为Theweatherhereisnicerthanthatof.

29.Iwouldrathertakeatrainthanwentbybus.

这个词组为wouldratherdo?thando?，因此把went改为go.

30.Isthereinterestinganythingatthemeeting?

修饰anything,something,everything,nothing的形容词都要放在它们的后面。

31.Ineverhaveseensuchapersonbefore.

像never之类的副词在句中应放在be动词、助动词之后，实意动词之前。因为应改为Ihaveneverseensuchapersonbefore.

32.Thebookisworthtoberead.

beworthdoing意为值得被做。因此改为Thebookisworthreading.

33.Itissurethathewillsucceed.

sure的主语只能为人，而certain的主语可为人和物。因此把sure改为certain.

34.Heisregardedasoneofthebestalivewritersatpresent.

alive为表语形容词，偶尔也做后置定语。因此把alive改为living，或把alive放在writers后面。

35.Idon’tknowthathehasfinishedtheworkyet.

yet用于否定和疑问句，already用于肯定句。把yet改为already.

36.Hesaidnearlynothingatthemeeting.

nearly不与否定词用在同一个句子中，而almost可以。因此把nearly改为almost。

六.介词

37.Heusuallygoestoschoolbyhisfather’scar.

by加上名词表示一种交通方式，中间什么都不加，如bycar,bybus,byplane等；如果名词前有其他的词修饰，则应用除by以外的其他介词，此处把by改为in.

38.Pleasewaitmeattheschoolgate.

wait为不及物动词，需加介词for后才能再跟名词或代词做宾语。

39.HehasbeenmarriedwithBettyformorethantwentyyears.

marry不跟with连用，应把with改为to。

40.Ifinishedtheworkontimeunderthehelpofhim.
