关于读书的好处的英语作文70初二（精选20篇）

读书足以怡情，足以傅彩，足以长才。其怡情也，最见于独处幽居之时；其傅彩也，最见于高谈阔论之中；其长才也，最见于处世判事之际。练达之士虽能分别处理细事或一一判别枝节，然纵观统筹，全局策划，则非好学深思者莫属。读书费时过多易惰，文采藻饰太盛则矫，全凭条文断事乃学究故态。读书补天然之不足，经验又补读书之不足，盖天生才干犹如自然花草，读书然后知如何修剪移接；而书中所示，如不以经验范之，则又大而无当。狡黠者鄙读书，无知者羡读书，惟明智之士用读书，然书并不以用处告人，用书之智不在书中，而在书外，全凭观察得之。

读书时不可存心诘难作者，不可尽信书上所言，亦不可寻章摘句，而应推敲细思。书有可浅尝者，有可吞食者，少数则需咀嚼消化。换言之，有只须读其部分者，有只须大体涉猎者，少数则须全读，读时须全神贯注，孜孜不倦。书亦可请人代读，取其所作摘要，但只限题材较次或价值不高者，否则书经提炼犹如水经蒸馏，味同嚼蜡矣。读书使人充实，讨论使人机智，作文使人准确。因此不常作文者须记忆特强，不常讨论者须天生聪颖，不常读书者须欺世有术，始能无知而显有知。

读史使人明智，读诗使人灵秀，数学使人周密，科学使人深刻，伦理学使人庄重，逻辑修辞之学使人善辩；凡有所学，皆成性格。人之才智但有滞碍，无不可读适当之书使之顺畅，一如身体百病，皆可借相宜之运动除之。滚球利睾肾，射箭利胸肺，漫步利肠胃，骑术利头脑，诸如此类。如智力不集中，可令读数学，盖演算须全神贯注，稍有分散即须重演；如不能辨异，可令读经院哲学，盖此辈皆吹毛求疵之人；如不善求同，不善以一物阐证另一物，可令读律师之案卷。如此头脑中凡有缺陷，皆有特药可医。

I still remember my first flight.

I took a flight in Beijing Airport. I got there early. I had my bag weighed first. After a while I began to get on the plane.

When I sat on the plane, Boeing 737, I fastened my seat belt. Then I looked out of the windows, seeing the ground running backwards. When the plane began to take off, I felt it interesting very much.

During about 2 hours’ flight, I saw a film and had a delicious meal. Then the plane began to get lower and I got to Xi’an safely.

How excited I was on my first flight.

书读多了，你的经验也就丰富了。这是人们的惯性想法，我觉得不然。马谡当时要是读书少一些，那他就不会拒谏而遭成失街亭、失性命的结果了。我觉得只读书不好。

我一向喜欢读书，并不是书的作者的原故，而是喜欢书中那些有趣的故事，那些好看的插图。我喜欢画画，所以我喜欢有图画的书。我也喜欢作文书，但我从不欣赏写作文，因为我很懒，懒得动笔去写，即使写，也只是那么一两句，小学写作文时，我写不出一个字，常常是早上坐到中午，中午再坐到晚上。自由写作是我的最怕，笔握在手中，本子上除了方格还是方格，不见一个字。家长见我写不出一个字，比我还急，打也打了，骂也骂了，可就是本子上出现不了字。书我读得比局龄人少不了多少，究竟问题出在哪儿呢?我百思不得其解。偶尔一次看到同学的作文，恍然大悟生活体验太少。想想自己，生活体验确实少。早上到学校上课，中午回家，再到学校，下午在回家，路上花得时间只能少不能多，下课玩的时间只能减不能增，上课做笔记，作到我手指发麻，下课想难题，想得晕头转向，每日如此，有什么可写的呢?

生活原本就是一本无价书，怎么能用“死书”来代替呢?书，我们是必须读的，但是真实的生活经历是绝不可少的。先读书，后经历生活的事，你会觉得那本书中的类似情节写的甚好;先经历生活中的事，再读书，你会对自己的经历亦会对书回味无穷，你就会读懂看似难懂的书。就像学课文时，只有先了解作者的时代背景，你才能与作者的感情产生共鸣，读书也是这个道理。

要是用读书去了解经历某些事发生时人的思想，心情，我想那多半不会成功，或许还会适得其返，觉得故事中的人不可思议。如果仅读书就能让人了解生活，了解一切，那么我想写作再也不需要真实题材了。

书毕竟是取材于生活，而生活却不能照搬于书。

This years summer vacation was most enjoyable. I spent fifteen days helping my grandparents doing farm work in the countryside， where I saw mountains fields covered with green plants. Sometimes I went swimming in the river to the west of the village， the water in which was quite clear.

I kept a diary every day. Besides doing farm work， I help the children in the neighborhood with their lessons. All of them showed interest in English. They could read write wellthey could hardly understand simple English. So every day in the morning I spent about two hours helping them improve their listening spoken English. They all made great progress. Their parents all thought highly of me. I now realize that knowledge is very needed in the countryside.

【参考译文】

今年的暑假是最愉快的。我花了十五天帮助我的爷爷奶奶在乡下做农活，在那里我看到了山上覆盖着绿色植物的田野。有时我去村子西边的河里游泳，那里的水很清澈。

我每天记日记。除了做农活，我还帮助邻居家的孩子学习功课。他们都对英语感兴趣。他们读得很好，几乎不懂简单的英语。所以每天早上我花了大约两个小时帮助他们提高听力口语。他们都取得了很大的进步。他们的父母都对我评价很高。我现在认识到农村需要知识。

Our school factory was opend in 1980, it is over 20 years old since it was opened At the beginning of its opening there were only several workers and the product was still simple. But now the factory is developed into a big one, which has over 100 workers. It produces a lot of products. Such as exercise－books, note books chalks and so on.

生活在这个科技发展的时代，书本已成为我们生活中的一部分。尤其对我们学生而言，可以夸大其舍辛地说它是我们生活的全部。

从古时候起人们就很重视读书。读四书、五经、读三字经、读论语等。人们对于读过书的人，都会高看一眼，因为他们“知书达理”有修养，有礼貌，而且懂的多，知识面广，说出来的话都会让人感的清新、舒服。

杜甫曾有“读书破万卷，下笔如有神”的诗句。他强调的就是人们应该多读书，这样才能达到出口成章的造指。古人尚且如此，作为新时代的我们更应该明白读书的作用。

读健康的书籍是一种百益而无一害的事情，暂时先不谈别的，把它的作用定格到最低点，它最起码可以让我们认识字，不做睁眼瞎，不会轻易地被别人骗;再升格，它会让我们通过古往今来的事实与文人墨客，宇宙星空的奥妙，解释日常生活中遇到的奇怪现象，懂得身边用品的原理、结构等。数值常见病症的治疗方法，以及时解救他人或自己于危难之中......还有很多，且不一一说明了;再次升格，它可以提高我们自生的修养，教我们怎样做人，让我们有文学修养，有创新的能力，基础，以使将来更好地为国家服务，为社会发展而尽我们一点微薄之力。

现在我们还可以说是学习的初级阶段，学到的书籍也只有课本而已，我们不应该局限于此。虽说是初学，也还是有一定的阅读课外书籍的能力。学习之余，我们还可以买一些适合我们读的书本，了解一些课本上没有的东西，拓展我们的知识面增强语感，增加深度，从而也可以提高我们学习成绩，让我们都变成别人心目中的“百科全书”，这对于我们自己岂不是两全其美的事嘛。

其实读书也是一种美的享受，独到我们喜欢的内容可以让我们感到高兴、快乐，感觉到世界是那么的美好。也会被其中的内容，深深吸引住，让我们有一种总想用阅读来填充自己的大脑的冲动，阅读到抒情的文章会让我们也有之感动，知道人间所从在的真情......

说了这么多，总之一句话：读健康的书籍对我们来说是非常有益的，它的益处举不胜举。

“书是人类进步的阶梯”，“书籍是人类的营养品”。由此可见，书在人类世界里还是广受好评的。

书虽然不会说话，但它会无声地陪伴你。它要忍气吞声地接受我们对它的不满；任凭我们生气时对它生气，但它依旧任劳任怨。学习上，书充当了我们的助手；无聊时，书是我们的伙伴；遇到难题时，书是“及时雨”；心情烦闷时，书是我们倾诉的对象。

“知之者不知好之者”，我们对书的热爱取决于个人兴趣。喜欢名著，四书五经，它便带你穿越回古代。喜欢淡雅清新的文章，它便带你飞过一道有一道美丽的风景，无论何时它都不介意带我们遨游一番，飞过一座座山岗，掠过湖面泛起想象的水波，伴朱自清踏春，与老舍赏玩济南的冬天，陪冰心感受大自然的崇高与无私。

无所事事的时候，去瞧瞧那一张张插图吧，它给你带来点快乐，扩展你的眼界。烦闷时，去向它倾诉吧，让那一句句优美的语句掠过你的心田，那发自肺腑的感受涤荡你心头的污垢。欣喜若狂的时候，看看书，待你平静下来说不定你就知道现在该怎么做，会做得更好，飞得更高。被挫折打败时随手拿起一本书，让她安慰你那幼小的心灵，带你安静下来后，你会发现，你已经逃离出绝望的深渊。

无论你是否嫌弃它，读书都是有利的。它陪你度过你的青春年华，教你不再虚度光阴。你的路有书做着铺垫，不如驾一叶扁舟徜徉在书海里，摇晃着，静静感受书香扑鼻，诗意满怀。

还是读书好！

The important of readingIt is certain that reading is so important. First of all, without reading you cant even speak logically. It is also ridiculous that you dont read but learning english. Just for speaking? In my opinion sooner or later you have to read and try to comprehend.

There are variety of benefit for reading. If you read, you can widen your vocabulary.With consistent reading you may speak logically and write easily for anyting. And also if you read aloud per day, your pronounciation will be improved and be used to the language. Reading can improve your comprehension. With reading many books you become wiser,because the only method of learning from past which is called history is reading.

阅读的重要肯定阅读是如此重要。首先,没有阅读你甚至不能讲逻辑。这也是可笑的,你不读,但学习英语。只是为了说话吗?在我看来迟早你必须阅读并试图理解。

有各种各样的阅读中受益。如果你读,你可以扩大你的词汇量。与一致的阅读你可能很容易讲逻辑,写出去的。和如果你每天大声朗读,发音将改进和使用语言。阅读可以提高你的理解力。阅读很多书你变得更明智,因为唯一的学习方法从过去被称为历史是阅读。

我时常会思考，读书是为了什么呢？周恩来先生是“为中华之崛起而读书”。现在，中华已经崛起了，那么我又为什么而读书呢？如果是为了自己那也可以选择不读书啊！读书究竟是为什么？中华正在崛起，但是还需要日益富强。只有这样中国才不会挨打，不会遭受其他国家的欺凌。于是我明白了，我要“为中华之富强而读书”！我把这句话当成了自己的座右铭。每次一看到或听到这句话我的内心就汹涌澎湃，就充满了力量，就干劲十足。

现在的中国还处于发展阶段，虽然科技也不算差，没有哪个国家敢来侵犯我们的国家。可是“生于忧患，死于安乐”，落后了就会挨打，我想这个道理谁都懂。国与国之间也是如此，落后了就要受别国的欺压。我翻阅历史资料，查看历史图片，看到我们的国家在“七七事变”中受到日本的侵略，是因为旧中国的落后，中国人的无能造成的。那惨不忍睹的一幕幕，那无法抹去的耻辱，那血淋淋的教训，直叫人又气又恨。我握紧拳头，恨得咬牙切齿。我真想回到过去，改写一切！可是我不能，历史永远无法改变。我好像什么也做不了。想到这里，我忽然又像泄了气的皮球一样，耷拉着脑袋，我能做什么呢？

无意中，我翻阅课本看到了自己曾经亲手写的座右铭“为中华之富强而读书”，猛然醒悟，对！我可以奋发读书，努力进取，长大后成为国之栋梁，为国家富强添砖加瓦。于是，我猛地挺起腰，全身心的投入到了学习中。

又考砸了，怎么学的这么糟糕？为什么又是失败？我的内心非常烦躁，只感到疲惫，好想瘫软下去。刚一低头，脑海中又浮现出“为中华之富强而读书”这九个大字。我把这句话写在便利贴上，贴满了我的屋子，时刻提醒着自己。风一吹，便利贴随风摆动，好像在为我加油鼓劲儿，它们一直鼓舞着我前进。

我要时刻铭记着“为中华之富强而读书”，不断提醒自己：“少年强则国强，少年殆则国殆。”所以只有从我们开始奋发读书，努力学习，才能让祖国日益富强，不再落后挨打，永远骄傲的屹立于世界民族之林。

[为中华之富强而读书初二作文

When I read a grade a class, I was having fun with students, suddenly saw sitting on the seat Zhang Yuezheng absorbed in reading a book. Im surprised, ran to ask her: "Zhang Yue, why we are all in play, youre reading a book?" Zhang Yue no reply.

The second class, I once again see Zhang Yue sitting quietly reading position. I ran to repeat a sizable once had said, and this time Zhang Yue finally spoke, she said: "because reading can let us learn a lot of extra-curricular knowledge, can make our mind to move up, turn up." Zhang Yue words, I also think reading is a very good thing, since then I became like Zhang Yue love reading. In second grade, I and Zhang Yue were named as the "king" reading by the teacher!

Because Zhang Yue, I had the very big change, I now is becoming more and more love reading, book knowledge let me open horizon, enrich my mind, every day I swim in the ocean of knowledge. I must get to read this good habit to stick to it!

在我读一年级的一次下课的时候，我正在和同学们玩得开心，突然看见张越正坐在位子上专心致志地看书。我很奇怪，跑上前去问她：“张越，为什么我们都在玩，你却在看书呢?”张越没有吭声。

第二次下课时，我又一次看到张越一个人坐在位置上安安静静地看书。我跑上前去，重复了一次第一次说过的话，这一次张越终于开口说话了，她说：“因为看书可以让我们学到很多课外知识，可以让我们的脑子动起来、转起来啊。”听了张越的话，我也觉得看书是一件非常好的事情了，从那时起我就变得和张越一样爱看书了。二年级的时候，我和张越都被老师评为了“读书大王”了呢!

因为张越，我有了很大的改变，我现在变得越来越爱看书了，书本上的知识让我开阔了眼界，充实了我的大脑，我每天在知识的海洋中遨游。我一定要把读书这个好习惯坚持下去!

我们应该“多读书，善读书，读好书”。接下来，让我告诉你多读书有什么样的好处。

多读书可以提高我们的阅读能力。读书多了，就可以培养“一目十行”的阅读能力。这样，在预习课文时，就可以快速了解课文，复述课文。

背课文很难，但只要多读书，这一问题就解决了。为什么呢？一次看一自然段，多读几遍，直到记会每一词、每一句就行了。

多读书对写作也有很大的帮助。因为在读书的时候，往往会出现一些好词佳句，我们把它积累起来，用在自己的作文中，何乐而不为呢！我的小学我们老师就说过：“世界上的美文上千篇，就看你会用不会用。”这句话使我受益非浅，我的作文有了很大的提高。

“标点符号是基础，用错它们要出丑。”所以，多读书就是对使用标点符号的提升，这样，在今后的写作中，你就不会“闹笑话”了。

多读书也会提高你对社会的见解。如《论语》中就有一则是这样写的：三人行，必有我师焉。择其善者而从之，其不善者而改之。“我觉得孔子说得很好。三个人中，其中必定有我的我们老师。看见他的长处，我就要向他学习；看见他的短处，看看自身有没有这种毛病，如果有，就要想办法改掉。这就很好，在我们的人生中就多了一面镜子，改掉自己的短处，发扬自己的长处，这不好吗？

我们也要读好书。书当然也有好坏之分，读了好书，有了理解、感悟与体会，这才算读了一本好书。读了坏书，可能会走上人生的歧途，所以，今后不要读不健康的书。

多读书还有许多好处。日常生活中有许多知识都是从书中引来的。

饭堂中，张贴着一条显眼的标语：“谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦。”告诫我们要节约粮食。

学校中，也有这样一条标语：“此言可以终身行者之乎：己所不欲，勿施于人。”

而在公交车上，又有一条标语：“老吾老，以及人之老；幼吾幼，以及人之幼。”

请大家读书吧！读书对我们今后都有好处！让我们享受读书的快乐吧！祝大家爱上读书！

Since we go to school, English is one of our main subjects, the government pays special attention to the English education. In the class, we have learned the grammar and sentence structure for a long time, some students are no more satisfied with what we learn in the class, they want to speak English fluently, so they can take advantage of what they learn in the class. Nowadays, English corner has be the main symbol for the English learners, most people join the corner in the weekends. Joining the English corner can enhance people’s ability of speaking English. Students have less chance to speaking in the class, but in the English corner, they can speak what they want. As there are people from all classes in the English corner, people can share their experience for each other, they can learn more from each other. If you have time, I suggest you to join the English corner.

打从我们上学，英语就成为了我们的主要科目之一，政府也格外注重英语教育。在课上，我们在很长一段时间里学习了语法和句子结构，一些学生不再满足于在课上学习到的，他们想要讲一口流利的英语，因此他们可以充分利用在课上学习到的。现在，英语角已经成为了英语学习者的主要象征，大部分人在周末参加英语角。参加英语角可以增强他们讲英语的能力。学生在课上很少有机会讲英语，但是在英语角，他们可以讲自由发话。英语角里有来自社会各界的人士，人们可以彼此交流经验，互相学习。如果你有时间，我建议你来参加英语角。

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。

谈到读书这件事，不论与一个人，几个人，还是许多人谈，所遭遇的最经常的反诘是：养成读书习惯对一个人究竟有什么好处？

是啊，有什么好处呢？

喜欢读书有益于将官当得更大吗？有益于成为巨商吗？有益于成为顶尖科学家吗？确实，未见得的。也许还会反过来。

因为，谁一旦成为百分之零点几甚至零点零几的人中的一个，责任可就大了，便身不由己了，属于献身型的人类了；即使曾是很喜欢读书的人，也会因惜时如金，不得不放弃读书之嗜好。读书对于他们成了偶尔之事，难得时光，特享受的事。

且不论他们了，便说各行各业的翘楚和精英们吧，那也都是须钻研不懈，多思而少眠的人。他们读的大抵是业务书，偶涉其他，眼光是极苛的。

前日有朋友来访，言及他们的儿子终于从国外回归，已获双博士学位，且都是上数的别国大学颁发的证书——而找到的工作，也只不过是在私立高等技校任电脑技术专业教师。

那样的儿子该属出色的千分之几了吧？他是喜欢读书的，他父母也是为他到我家来挑书。我任国家图书馆“文津奖”评委，照例收到了一批书。

一个中国人与书籍的关系的真相是——从前的读书人仅是千分之几、万分之几的幸运人，大抵是为了跻身仕途而读；如今恰恰反过来了，最广大的普通人才较有时间读读什么书。

普通人是多么普通的人呢？

清华、北大每年毕业不少学子；剑桥、哈佛也是——皆不普通了吗？非也。了解一下就会明白，并非个个都成了人杰，十之七八后来也还是归于普通。

如果谁的人生，目前尚不能与我朋友的儿子相提并论；如果哪一对父母，还没从自己的小儿女的智力方面看出比我朋友的儿子将更有出息的智光，那么我的建议是——在不影响正常升学的前提下，着意培养儿女的读书习惯吧。

任何一个国家的95%以上的人口，注定了是普通人口。这个世界对此还没有破局之良方。

那么，读书对于95%以上的人类，益处甚大。

会使我们成为社会地位虽普通，但在其他方面却较优秀的普通人。

会使我们于浮躁之境淡定；于群情盲动之际保持理性；于享乐风气大行其道时俭以修身；于清贫中不至于连精神也一并“贫穷”了。

会使我们成为善良、文雅、举止得体、谈吐不俗，因而起码在95%以上的人口中成为受尊敬的普通好人。

当然，我指的是值得一读的书……

smoe people say that money is the best thing in the world. but i consider reading books as the best and the most precious thing one can ever have.

reading books is very important. first of all, it is knowledge that makes society develop and by reading books you can get all kinds of knowledge. furthemore, reading books makes you a qualified person and makes your life enjoyable.

one is never too old to learn. no matter what time you rcalize the importance of reading books, you can enjoy it during the rest of your life time. love books, for they are your best friends.

有人说钱是世界上最好的东西。但我认为读书最好和一个能拥有的最珍贵的东西。

读书是很重要的。首先，它是知识使社会进步，通过读书你可以得到各种知识。另外，读书使你成为一个合格人才，使你生活愉快。

人要活到老学到老。不管你什么时候意识到读书读书的重要性，你可以享受它，在你的余生的时间。爱书，因为他们是你最好的朋友。
