寒假就要来了，我很兴奋。我想要完善我的寒假计划，现在给你们讲讲我的计划。

假期刚开始的几天我打算先看些书，听听音乐放松一下。在十五天的时候，我会开始做寒假作业。当然，我还打算帮着做些家务活。农历新年的那天，我将会和爸爸妈妈出来旅游。我想寒假一定会过得很开心，我已经等不及了。

在二月的头六天里，我还打算去拜访我们的亲友。这一定会很好玩！在之后的几天里我会完成我们的寒假作业，因为二月十六日我就得回校读书了。

今天我和爸爸妈妈吃了一顿不一样的火锅，因为以前我们都是在外面火锅店吃的，既不卫生又不便宜，前不久妈妈在网上淘了只电火锅，于是我们决定要自己尝试做一次火锅。

我们雄纠纠气昂昂地来到了超市，买了许许多多的火锅材料，两个大袋子都装不下，我们买了羊肉、娃娃菜、菠菜、鸡蛋干、肉皮、各类丸子……有二十多种呢!

我们气喘嘘嘘地拎回了家，稍休息了一下，我们就开始做准备分工合作了：爸爸负责切菜,妈妈负责洗菜,我负责把爸爸切好的菜装盘，再把菜端出去，火锅材料放了满满一桌子。

我们围坐在餐桌边，开心地等待着锅中的水沸腾，吱吱喳喳着吵着要吃这个，要吃那个。水终于在我们殷殷期盼中开了，我本来想先把午餐肉和鸡蛋干放进锅中，但是妈妈说：“要先把硬的不太能熟的食物放下去，等水再开了，再放软的易熟的食物。”听了妈妈的话，我把丸子、笋、虾球等硬的食材先放了下去，因为爸爸怕我们吃起来味道淡，所以也从超市里买来了辣酱和海鲜酱，放在碗底醮着食物吃。开吃喽!拿着勺子在锅子里捞啊捞，装了满满得一大碗。我夹了一颗小肉丸醮着海鲜酱一口咬了下去，啊!!!好象在吃到了天堂的美食一样，那么新鲜，那么可口!我们全家“默默无闻”中消灭了一桌子的美食，因为实在没有时间说话，吃得实在太欢了!

在这样一个冬季里，全家人围着吃一顿热气腾腾的火锅，是如此的美好!好象喻义我们全家团团圆圆、和和美美!

[寒假的计划初中英语作文

My winter holiday is very dull. I stay at home for most of time. sometimes I visit my friends and play basketball with them. sometimes we go shopping.

One day, we go to the kfc. We have hamburgers, chicken coke and french fries. We have sore throats. We go home and have a rest. then we feel better. We go and play computer games! how mad we are!

This is the only thing i can talk about in the holiday.

Everyone has his or her experience that is unforgettable.

Mine happened when I was five, when my parents took me to the city zoo.

It was a hot summer so most animals were laying down to stay cool.

As we walked around, I saw a panther crouching by a hill in its enclosure.

All of a sudden, the panther leaped over the wall and jumped on the back of an old lady who was eating a hamburger.

The old lady let out a high pitched scream and fell down from her seat, sprawling on the cement pavement and passed out.

The panther did not attack the old lady, but picked the hamburger dropped by the lady.

After swallowing the hamburger, the panther started walking around the cafeteria with many visitors looking at it.

One kid saw the animal outside, and called excitedly, “Mommy! Look! I want to pat the Panther!” The kid ran to the animal.

By the time the panther was laying on the ground.

The little boy went to the panther and sat on its back.

The panther stood, with the boy on its back, started running towards the gate of the zoo and disappeared into the city in the dusk twilight.

I took a few pictures of the boy riding the panther, and this, was an experience I will never forget.

寒假生活的英语日记篇三

It was a very busy evening, I was doing my homework at my home. My father was writing a composition in the study room. My mother was interested in Shanghai opera. She was watching a Shanghai opera contest. The apartment was very quiet. Suddenly the light went out. It was a blackout, but I liked it very much. It came and I didn’t have to do my homework. We went to the living room very slowly. After 5 minutes, we all sat in the sofa. It was a lucky, fortunate day. I said that let’s held a concert. My parents agreed with me. I took out some candles and lighted up. We were singing, laughing and talking. We had a really good time. But while I was singing, the light suddenly turned on. Oh, my God. My father went back to his room went on writing. My mother turned on the TV and said to me “Dear, do your homework!”

I felt very frustrated. I sat at the desk and thought I hated light. I hoped there would be a blackout the next day. I thought I would enjoy myself more and more. I went into a dream……

Many children are always looking forward to the winter vacation; this is because during the vacation, children needn’t go to school; They can do everything they like, such as playing, watching TV, traveling, or even sleeping all the day and so on. and when winter vacation come on ,it means that spring festival will come on soon.I spent the whole day at home nearly every day, I played with my computer .I played computer games and surfed the internet. during the vacation ,I still stayed in touch with my classmates and my friends.

I think I have been a potatoes mouse .During the spring festival, I visited my relatives ,and I got a lot of red bags. Even though my vacation was crazy and exciting, but I really learnt a lot. It was good for relaxing, and I am getting ready for the coming new term now. Good-bye, my winter vacation.

狗年悄然无息的来到了，今天可是辞旧迎新的大好日子，一年可就仅此一天。因此，爸爸批准我初一到初六不用学习，放假6天。

今天的早上，被窗外接连不断的鞭炮声惊醒了的我从被子里爬了出来。吃完热气腾腾的饺子，拿到盼望已久的压岁钱，我心里激动极了，拉着爸爸走出了家里。

走在街上，人人都是喜气洋洋，欢声笑语。尽管商店都“闭门家中坐”了。可是，年的气氛依然被张扬了出来。今年的娱乐设施并不是很多，很多都是去年的“故技重演”。不过有一个小摊吸引了我和老爸的注意力。这个地方竟然是找名字，有无数个印有汉字的小陶瓷娃娃，按照打头字母装在几个筐子里。可以把自己的名字给找出来，一个字3元，再附上几元加工费，就可以制作成手机链、手链等等。在我们的“精挑细选”之下，我名字的三个字终于被捉拿归案。老爸给我串了一个手链，带上哗哗作响。新年里带一个，图个吉利。

下午在俱乐部的门口，又举行了吉利区最热闹的游园活动。这个活动既不要钱，只要你有真本事，还能领奖品呢！我第一个参加的是我最擅长的磊象棋，这个去年我可赢了一个初中的姐姐呢！几年和我比赛的是一个同年级的同学，我的水平今年可在家里练过了，也有“独家传授秘诀”。就是不要刻意摆弄垒起来的稳定性。只要把地基打好，上面都没有问题。最后我以超过一半的速度战胜了那位同学。一下得了三张奖券。这会把我乐坏了，揣着奖券去玩筷子夹玻璃珠游戏。

这个游戏我同样是在行的，没想到今年遇到的竟然是“武林高手”。刚开始我加了3个玻璃珠，那边还没有夹一个。我暗中得意，心想：这奖券我拿定了！没想到，后面竟然如此不顺利，筷子怎么也不听话了。那边那位可是疯狂反超，竟然最后在我的框里还有4个时候完成了！哎！看来真的是人外有人，天外有天啊！骄傲还是不行的。就这样，我连赢了12张奖券，抽到的奖品数不胜数，拿都拿不住，提了一大带子，这回可是大丰收。

今年的大年初一，我收获了快乐，迎接了崭新的一年。最后祝大家新年快乐，万事如意，小升升给所有博友拜年了！

We joined them to climb the mountain as soon as we got there. We felt tired but we kept climbing. It took us about an hour to get to the top of the mountain. The wind was so cool and the scenry was very beautiful. We had a picnic and then we walked down from the mountain. We were very happy that day. In the evening, I surfed the internet and then read an interesting book. I really had a meaningful and happy day.

Exercise every day for three hours, exercise your body. Jump rope, kick the shuttlecock, sprint, long distance... Do sports every day, let your body become more healthy.

My father work in the day tired, returned home, to the father fills back, fills the legs...

......

This is my winter vacation plan, all right?

新的一年，踏着脚步朝我们走来。愉快的寒假马上就要开始了，那么，怎样才能让这个寒假过的充实而有意义呢?我苦苦的思索了一天，终于，想好了该如何来度过这个寒假。

看些书，做些读书笔记;每天适当的做一些寒假作业;看看新闻，了解一下国家大事、社会新闻;每天运动一下，锻炼自己的身体;去图书馆、科技馆、新华书店等处，获取一些学习的机会，拓宽自己的视野;帮爸爸妈妈做一些力所能及的事……

看书。为了能让自己看一些有益的书，我早早的来到书店。书店里的书各种各样，我挑选了一些我爱看的书，把家里的书柜装得满满的。这样就不怕没书看了。我又跑到文具店里买了一本厚厚的、漂亮的笔记本，在寒假里，我一定要把它写得满满的。

运动。运动是健康的来源，可以加强我们的心肺功能;可以帮助我们防止骨质疏松;可以缓和并控制我们的情绪……每天运动三小时，锻炼自己的身体。跳绳、踢毽、短跑、长跑……每天做一项运动，让自己的身体变得更健康。

帮爸爸妈妈做一些力所能及的事。帮妈妈洗洗碗、扫扫地，在妈妈感到劳累时，给妈妈泡一杯茶，让妈妈休息一会，代替妈妈做会儿。爸爸白天工作累了，回到家，给爸爸捶捶背、捶捶腿……

……

这就是我的寒假计划，不错吧?

节约粮食，是我们每个公民应尽的义务，而不是说你的生活好了，你浪费得起就可以浪费。下面是小编分享的有关学生浪费食物的英语作文，欢迎大家阅读！

As is known to all waste on campus has become a more and more serious problem. We can easily see many students dump a lot of food in the garbage can. Stone students spend thousands of yuan buying fashionable clothes and so on.

The negative effects of waste can be shown in the following aspects. In the first place it makes stone students dependent on their parents for money which is harmful to their development. If they dont learn to support themselves they will be "useless people" when they graduate. In the second place it is not easy for our parents to arrange for our schooling. Last but not the least important there is no denying the fact that our country is still poor. There are many people who cannot go to university and many poor people still need our help.

As far as I am concerned I should set a good example to reduce waste on campus. First of all I will refrain from wasting anything from food to stationery. Whats more Im determined to call on more school nates to fight against waste. Only through these measures can we hope to reduce waste on campus.

【翻译】

众所周知校园浪费已成为一个越来越严重的问题。我们可以很容易地看到许多学生把大量的食物在垃圾桶里。石头学生花几千元买时髦的衣服等等。

浪费的负面影响可以体现在以下方面。首先它使石头学生依赖他们的父母要钱这是有害于他们的发展。如果他们不学会养活自己他们将“无用的人”当他们毕业。第二我们的父母不容易安排我们上学。最后但并非最不重要不可否认的事实我们的国家依然贫穷。有很多人不能上大学许多穷人仍然需要我们的帮助。

就我而言我应该树立一个好的榜样来减少校园浪费。首先我将避免浪费任何东西从食品到文具。更重要的是我决心呼吁更多的学校上丘反对浪费。只有通过这些措施我们才有希望减少校园浪费。

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of

relaxation.Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go

from morning till night,it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for

a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is

no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to

be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose

to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control can it lead to poor

performance and iiihealth. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends

very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such

characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others

lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress,

in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact, we make a

choice between "flight or fight"and in more primitive days the choices made the

difference between life or death.The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so

extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is

when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that

health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and

heart diseases have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress

from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find

ways to deal with it.

What will our world be like in x yearsI can’t imagine. It must change a lot. If I meet myself who comes from the future, I will ask her whether my dream comes true or not.

My dream is to become an excellent interpreter. When I was in Grade 1, I began to study English. At that time, I was so excited for learning a new language. Because of English, I know that America is a beautiful and polite country. From then on, I hope I can speak English very well and have chance travel to America some day.

Nowadays, English is widely spoken throughout the world. What’s more, plenty of people have realized its importance. In order to make my dream come true, I try my best and work much harder. I start to watch America drama to practice my English. And I also read some English books now. I talk with others to practice my oral English as possible as I can. But the path to the success isn’t smooth. Sometimes I want to give up. But it’s my dream, I can’t give up easily. Shelley said” if winter comes, can spring be far behind”

On the other hand, with the development of China, more and more people are interested in our culture. Some enjoy Beijing Opera, some study Chinese Kongfu, some even learn to speak Chinese, etc. As a Chinese, of course I will help them to know more about Chinese culture. I want to be an envoy of cultural exchange between China and America. So if I am an interpreter, I will introduce China to the world. I believe if I work hard enough, my dream will come true.

Saturday My future XXX Everyone has a dream, me too. I want to be a computer programmer. This may be a different dream. There are some important reasons for me to choose this dream. First,this job is becoming more and more popular now. Almost everything needs IT, So many places needs computer programmer. It’s easier to find a job. Another reason is that this job can earn more money. Computer programmer’s salary is higher. However, the most important reason is that I am really interested in IT. I am good at Math and English. I sometimes make some small programmes for fun. would enjoy my job. I really love this. I →IT changed our life! But this is extremely hard and tired work. Many people have to work over 8 hours a day. They are called “Code farmer”. Well, there is no job relaxed, isn’t it? No matter what I will be in the future, I should work hard to make my dream be true. Let’s FIGHT FOR OUR DREAM!

I had a great time during my winter vacation. The first thing I did was I made a plan for my study. I assigned my homework equally according to the holidays so that I can finish all of them in time. And during my winter vacation， we welcome the most important festival in China-Spring Festival， it‘s also called Chinese New Year by lots of foreigners. At that night， our family came together and had a big meal. Of course we had dumplings that night， because that is our Chinese traditional. We then watch the CCTV spring festival evening party together and watch the beautiful fireworks. That‘s the happiest time in this world! The winter vacation I had dreamed all year around was finally coming. And I really enjoyed a lot from it. The first thing I did was I made a plan for my study. I assigned my homework equally according to the holidays so that I can finish all of them in time. I also arranged myself the books and words I need to read and recite. Secondly， I took some extracurricular activities and read some English original reading. My favorite book is ， written by Sherlock Holmes. Among all the classical movies， the Sound of Music was the most exciting one. During my holidays I also made some assistance for my physical class teacher， surely I met lots of difficulties in this stage and from which I knew what perseverance really was. Lastly， I went to the temple fair and was lucky to taste several Chinese traditional dishes; “Jiaohua chicken” is one of them. It is said it originated from Hangzhou centuries ago， made by a famous beggar Hong Qi Gong， the senior leader of Beggar Gang.Steamed with fresh lotus leaf wrapped up，it is famous for its special aroma and taste. Now that the holiday is ending and a new semester is coming， I need to fresh up and get started to embrace the upcoming challenges.

As the drawing presents, there is a man walking across the street

absorbedly focusing on his cell phone without noticing the surroundings. This

sort of phenomenon is not uncommon and rare in some metropolis, especially among

the youngsters.

What the picture illustrates is the prevailing situation that has long

existed in todays China. That is the mobile phone obsession. With the advent of

information age, people are becoming

increasingly fascinated on the electronic products, especially the cell

phones. Not surprisingly, you could easily notice that most of us are obsessed

in sending messages, playing online games with their mobile phones. It cannot be

denied that this phenomenon may negatively impact the relationship among people,

and therefore they will become estranged and isolated.

Personally, in view of the overuse of mobile phones, I hold that we

individuals should raise the necessary awareness that good relationships are

reinforced by sincere and face-to-face communication.

On the second day of the year, I went to visit my relatives in Feicheng. My brother and I still have 3 year old little brother to play against shaving guns.

First, I first put a gun, I saw the orange yellow sparks, and then, out of white smoke. And the sound of the explosion hovered in the air.

At this time the younger brother laughs. The brother found a broken teacup. The first brother ignited the cup and buckled with a cup. After a while, it was like the sound of fart. I was very unaddicting, and I said to my brother, "lets not come three." The brother was excited and said, "OK."

The exciting moment came and the cup was fry in half. Again, the brother is clapping and clapping.

After lunch, my brother and I continued to blow the cannon.

My brother and I looked for a box and threw it into the box after it was ignited. I do not know how the brother like a stimulant, with a corn pole, beating back and forth, my brother and I startled a shout to come. But the brother is not listening to still smiling, immediately, this shave ringing, good brother still good, really scared to death.

So this time. I put it in this box and let my brother look at his brother. Who knows, his brother struggles to open his brothers line, and his brother stumbles over a stone to catch him. My brother is sitting on it, my God. Just then the parents saw it, and the blasting gun was just sound, and fortunately his brother had nothing to do.

The parents were angry and said, "pay attention to safety. You two say a lot of words to your brother."

Now I know whats safe to do. If the security cant be guaranteed, then you dont do it. At any time, security is always the first.

After 5.12 earthquake struck sichuan province since 2008, we, I was so frightened by an earthquake, I felt the earthquake many houses will be apart, can let many people lost their lives, is one of the worlds most terrible disaster. Today I saw "China childrens encyclopedia, really know anything about earthquake.

It turns out that the earthquake happened all of a sudden the vibration phenomenon, like the wind, rain, is a kind of common natural phenomena. Vibrations in the earth, in fact, very frequently, probably every 30 seconds there will be time, but most of them are very ease, people did not feel. We can feel the earthquake is due to the relative movement between earths tectonic plates, rock is squeezed, produce a huge amount of energy to make rock failure in an instant, or make originally the already existing fracture activity, suddenly release a large amount of energy, and some of the energy to the earths surface, make the earth trembling violently, causing strong earthquake. Started happening earthquake site is called the source, the source above the ground is called the epicenter, the ground of the devastating earthquake is the most strong place is called the magistoseismic area, while the magistoseismic area often is the place where the epicenter. When the earthquake occurred, the source of shock wave in the earths crust to all directions called seismic waves. Seismic waves hit the ground, the result will be a disaster.

We Chinese people are very smart, as early as the eastern han dynasty, there is a man named zhang heng scientists invented to measure the earthquake Hou Feng seismograph, and our modern scientists are generally measured the spread of seismic wave speed with the help of a seismograph, the place and time of the earthquake.

Know the earthquake knowledge, learning even before the earthquake early warning and self protection method, I think, to know that knowledge is very useful for our own.

自从2008年我们四川发生5.12大地震之后，我就特别害怕地震，我觉得地震会震垮很多房屋，会让许多人失去生命，是世界上最可怕的灾难。今天我看了《中国少年儿童百科全书》后，才真正知道地震是怎么回事。

原来，地震是突然间发生的大地震动现象，就像刮风、下雨一样，是一种很普遍的自然现象。地球上的震动实际上非常频繁，大概每30秒种就会有一次，但大多数都非常缓和，人们都没有感觉。我们能感觉到的地震是由于地球板块之间产生相对运动，岩石层受到严重挤压，产生巨大的能量使岩石在瞬间发生断裂，或者使原来已经存在的断裂突然活动，释放出大量能量，而其中一部分能量传到地球表面，使大地剧烈地颤动，从而引起强烈地震。地震开始发生的地点称为震源，震源上方的地面称为震中，破坏性地震的地面最烈处称为极震区，而极震区往往就是震中所在的地方。地震发生时，震源发出的在地壳中传向四面八方的冲击波称为地震波。地震波冲击到地面，就会引发灾难。

我们中国人非常聪明，早在东汉时期，就有一位叫张衡的科学家发明了用来观测地震的侯风地动仪，而我们现代的科学家也一般都借助地震仪来测量地震波的传播速度，判断地震发生的地点和时间。

知道了地震知识以后，还要学习地震发生前的提前预警和自我保护方法，我想，了解到这些知识对我们自己是非常有用的。
