Let’s Do Something to Save Our Environment

It is recently reported that some rivers and lakes have dried up in South China. A lot of fishes died. The bottoms of the rivers and lakes have become grass land. The water is becoming less and less because of the bad weather.

So everyone should do something to save our environment. First, we should save every drop of water, such as turning off the taps after using it and recycling the water. For example, we can water the plants and clean the rest room with our used water. Second, we should save energy, such as less turning on the lights and turning off the lights when we leave;Do more walking, more bicycling and less driving and so on. Third, we should ask our government to control the pollution from the factories.

Let’s act now from everything to save our environment. Don’t let our tears be the last drop of water in the world!

生命是唯一的,是宝贵的,世界因为有了生命而变得精彩.您的生命，您珍惜吗?要想生命得到保障,请您遵守交通规则.

写作题目 Knowledge or Experience

Directions： You are allowed 40 minutes to write an essay no less than 150 words on the following topic.

1.some emphasize book knowledge

2.others stress practical experience

3.which one is more important? Give your reasons to illustrate your opinion.

范文：

Which is more important in life， knowledge from the books you read， or personal experience you gain in reality? The answer may vary from person to person. The young， educated may emphasize the former， and the old may stress the later. But in my opinion， they are of the same importance.

Experience is priceless. How to become an efficient secretary? How to prepare for your first child to come into the world? There is so much experience we need in careers， in life and even in academic studies. It helps one deal with the problems with ease and confidence. Especially activities and to accumulate experience of different kinds is more crucial.

Experience， however， is limited in terms of time and space. For one thing， it is impossible for anyone to experience all the important events and meet all the famous people. For another， as the speed with which skills are obsolete and new problems crop up is unprecedented because of the fast development of society， experience is far less adequate. Depending too much on it only leads to narrow-mindedness and prejudice.

One way to compensate for it is to read books. Books of various kinds can bring us almost unlimited additional experience. From books you can not only trace back to the wisdom of our antecedents， but keep up with the latest developments of science and technology. To be sure， its secondhand experience. But it is the ideal supplement to our own limited experience. Few of us can travel around the world， or live long beyond one hundred years， but all of us can live many lives by reading books.

Both book knowledge and personal experience are essential. While experience makes one more resourceful， book knowledge makes one more learned.

给材料作文

一个公司的职员向朋友抱怨：同事的冷漠、客户的刁难、老板的忽视，让他苦恼不已，所以他决定换个工作。朋友提醒他说：“现在找一份工作不容易，你应该多和大家沟通，尝试着改变自己。”他接受了朋友的建议。半年之后，再见到朋友时，他向朋友说，现在自己在原来的公司很开心，与同事的关系很融洽，客户对他很满意，老板也夸他工作出色，正准备给他升职加薪。

这个职员的经历至少给了我们这样一些启示：少抱怨别人，多反省自己;与其被动变换环境，不如主动适应环境;耍主动与人沟通，为自己打开一片广阔的天地;要善于采纳别人正确的意见和建议。

给材料作文

有个年轻人去微软公司应聘，而该公司并没有刊登过招聘广告。见总经理疑惑不解，年轻人用不太娴熟的英语解释说自己是慕名而来，渴望在这里能有所作为。总经理感到很新鲜，破例让他试试。面试的结果出人意料，年轻人表现得很糟糕。他对总经理的解释是事先没有准备，总经理以为他不过是找个借口而已，就随口应道：“等你准备好了再来试吧。”一周后，年轻人再次走进微软公司的大门，这次他依然没有成功。但比起第一次，他的表现要好得多。而总经理给他的回答仍然同上次一样：“等你准备好了再来试。”就这样，这个青年先后五次踏进微软公司的大门，最终被公司录用，成为公司的重点培养对象。

这个故事至少给了我们这样一些启示：要勇于展示自己;敢于挑战更高的目标;愈挫愈勇，百折不挠才能获得成功;不要让有所追求的年轻人丧失希望。

Dear Mum and Dad,

Time flies! I’ve been here for nearly a year. I’m very pleased to find that our school is really a good one. The students in our school_____________________________________________________________________.

Yours,

Tom

As we all know, our life is full of challenges as well as opportunities. Every one of us expects to be successful and deserve others’ respect. In my opinion, the key to success is that we should manage to make the most of what we’ve already had.

When I was a child, I am fond of making things by hand. At one time, I took part in a hand-made activity in our school. I wanted to make a model house as I usually did, but suddenly I found the materials that I had weren’t enough. Faced with such a situation, I really wanted to give up. However, after a second thought, I thought of an idea to pide some of the materials into small parts and I finally succeeded in making a special model plane. To my great joy, I was given the first prize because of my creativity.

After that, I understand whenever we face trouble, it is no use complaining. We should try our best to make use of what we have already had to solve problems.

我们都知道，我们的生活充满了挑战和机遇。我们中的每一个人都希望获得成功，并得到别人的尊重。在我看来，成功的关键在于我们应该设法使我们所拥有的。

当我还是个孩子的时候，我喜欢用手做东西。有一次，我参加了一个手工制作的活动在我们学校。我想做一个模型房子，我通常做的，但突然发现我的材料是不够的。面对这样的情况，我真的很想放弃。然而，经过一次思考，我想到了一个想法把一些材料分成几个小部分，最后我成功地制作了一个特殊的模型飞机。我非常高兴，因为我的创造力，我得到了第一个奖。

之后，我明白每当我们面对麻烦，抱怨是没有用的。我们应该尽我们最大的努力去利用我们已经解决的问题。

[中考英语满分作文努力

中考英语作文难不难？其实不难，大部分同学都能得到12分以上，13、14分也是平常，但是要想得到15分甚至以上，就难上加难了。到底什么样的作文能得到16分以上？下面是经过和中考命题组和阅卷组老师的交流，对中考英语作文评分标准做出了更深的理解。

一、中考英语写作的概述

你对于在中考英语写作中拿高分有把握吗？实际考试中，许多学生却常常有“无话可说”的感觉。那要如何我们才能克服这种无话的状态，取得高分呢？

归根到底这是一个英语基本功——单词、短语和句型的问题。

英语作文的前提条件是掌握了一定量的词汇、语法及体裁、题材等方面的知识。学生如果想要在写作方面有本质上的提升，必须进行多次的写作练习。因此，必须合理地设置训练步骤，遵循从初级到高级，从简单到复杂的原则去练习，经过一段写作实践之后，写作水平一定会有大幅度的提高。

中考英语作文对考生的要求有四点：1、内容要完整。2、语句流畅。3、没有语法错误。4、书写规范。

二、中考英语写作的评分标准

1、老师拿到的标准

写作水平的高低和文章的好坏，分数是最直接的评分标准，也是考生们最关心的。但是多少考生真正透彻知道中考英语写作的评分标准？什么样的文章才是阅卷老师眼中的好文章？

评分标准：

(1)整篇作文满分20分，其中内容8分，语言8分，结构4分。

(2)内容贴切，句子流畅，用语准确，加整体印象分1分。

(3)不满60个词，少1——5个词扣0.5分，6——10个词扣1分。

(4)所有给出问题涉及的三项内容，每少一项扣3分。

(5)每个拼写，大小写，标点符号等错误扣0.5分；同一的拼写错误不重复扣分，扣分总和不超过2分。

(6)语法错误每项扣1分，同一错误不重复扣分，扣分总和不超过2分。

2、老师想看到的标准

语言(8分)：

词——固定搭配、高频重点词汇；

句——复杂句(各种从句)、特殊句型、正确的句子!

内容(8分)：(总、分)论点、论据支持句；简洁、切合主题的记叙内容。

结构(4分)：

语言结构——句子重点突出、内容清晰；

内容结构——论点、论据以及记叙之间的逻辑关系；

句数控制——对于相对内容的句数掌握；

亮点、出彩点——排比、拟人、谚语、成语、押韵等。

三、扣分

内容方面：要点缺失，可酌情扣分。比如中考作文“Iwanttodosomethingformyschool”，若没有写一件具体的事情，是要扣3分以上的；若写的事情太过于虚幻，没有实际内容，也会扣1-2分。

字数：少于60字的作文要酌情扣分。

中考英语作文要求60字以上，标点符号不算，少了就要扣分。

但是60字的作文能不能得高分？从我们拿到的实例作文来看，16分以上的作文，没有少于75字的，甚至少于80字的也少之又少。

当然，也极少有超过100字的，因为中考试卷的短线格一共80个，在格子下面大约还有2行的空间，可以加20字左右，再多阅卷人就很难看清了，也会影响卷面的美观。

所以，同学们如果想让作文得到高分，最好是让字数在75-100字之间。

语法和拼写错误：每个扣0.5，重复错误不计；

标点错误：每4个扣0.5。

四、加分

作文的组织结构分。就是根据学生使用复杂句型、单词和谚语、俗语的情况来加分。只要文章中有1个亮点，基本就可以争取到1分(3分的文采分是很难全部拿到的)。而这1分的亮点，是可以提前准备的。

“万金油”式的复杂句型，例如强调句型、only相关的倒装句等，只要同学们多操练几次，几乎是一定能用到作文当中，从而为自己争取到这1分。

其次就是卷面分。很多家长和同学，尤其是部分书法并不是十分整洁的同学，都会关心是否真的有“卷面分”的存在。虽然在阅卷标准里面并没有卷面分这一项，但是这个分数却真切地反映在了同学们的分数里面。

据阅卷老师的经验，在阅卷的时候并不是按这3个部分逐项打分的，而是在第一遍读完全文之后，心里已经形成了一个“印象分”，然后再细读第二、三遍，把印象分分配到各个打分部分。

因此，这个“印象分”就非常重要，而同学们的书法，也正是在这个环节，影响到了自己的分数。所以初三的考生，如果书法不好，一定要注意。

桑德斯上校退休后拥有的所有财产只是一家靠在高速公路旁的小饭店。饭店虽小，但颇具特色，与众不同。可最受欢迎的、也是客人最爱吃的一道菜就是他发明烹制的香酥可口的炸鸡，仅此就给他带来了一笔可观的财富。多年来，他的客人一直对他烹制的炸鸡赞赏有加。可是令他万万没想到的是，由于高速公路改道别处，饭店的生意突然间也一落千丈，最后只好关门歇业。被逼无奈，桑德斯上校决定向其他饭店出售他制作炸鸡的配方，以换取微薄的回报。

在推销的过程中，没有一家饭店愿意购买他的配方，并且还不时地嘲笑他。一个人在任何年龄被人嘲笑都不是件令人愉快的事，更何况到了退休的年龄还被人嘲笑，这就更令人难以接受了。而这恰恰发生在了桑德斯上校身上。他不但被人嘲笑并且接连不断地被人拒绝，可见这些经历对他的影响有多么巨大。但他始终没有放弃，在没有找到买主之前，他开着车走遍了全国，吃住都在车上，就在被别人拒绝了1009次后，才有人终于同意采纳他的想法，购买他的配方。从此后他的连锁店遍布全世界;也被载入了商业史册。这就是肯德基的由来。

人们为了纪念这位桑德斯上校，就在所有的肯德基店前树立一尊他的塑像，以此作为肯德基的形象品牌。俗话说：“神枪手是一枪一枪打出来的!”缺乏坚持不懈的毅力或者认为自己不能得到自己想要的东西，这两者都是阻碍大多数人勇于改变的关键原因。如果你能够紧紧抓住自己的目标不放并坚持不懈，那么很快你就会超过大多数人。记住，是你掌握着自己的生活。如果你一心想达到一个目标，就一定会有办法取得成功。

Dear Alice，

As a teenager，I met the same problem as you. But now I can get along better with my mother. Here are some ideas for you。

Your mother talks much，because she cares about you. Maybe its not a good way，but it shows your mothers love. So I think you should listen to her. If your opinions are different from your mothers，you can communicate with her，and tell her what you are thinking about。

If your mother doesnt take your advice，just keep silent and give her a smile。

I hope what I say here can help you a lot.

端午节是全年四大节之一。五月是毒月，五日是毒日，五日的中午又是毒时，居三毒之端。端午节又叫“五月端”。五月是整个热天的开端，五毒蛇开始活跃，鬼魅魍魉也会猖獗，这些都会给人特别是会给无所顾忌又无抵抗能力的孩子带来灾难，必须在五月端这天集中地为孩子消灾防毒，因此，人们又把五月端午节说成是“小孩节”或“娃娃节”。
