dear eric,

My hometown is beautiful place It stands near a wide river at the foot of low green hills. It has many tall buildings and wide streets. There are trees and flowers everywhere.

But it has not always been like that. In the old days, it was a sad dirty little town. Landlords and merchants lived in the few good houses. For the working people there were only dark, unhealthy rooms in old buildings and huts in narrow muddy streets. Nearly everyone was poor and many had no work.

Everything has changed since liberation. The people, led by the Party, have got rid of the mud and dirt. They have put up schools, theaters, shops and flats. They have an assembly hall and a hospital. Along the river they have built offices, hotels and parks. A lot of factories have sprung up. On the river, streamers and boats come and go busily, day and night. They carry the products of our industries to all parts of the country.

I love my hometown, and I love its people. They also have changed. Healthy and happy, they are going all out to build socialism.

篇4:怀念的英语作文初中

全文共 2558 字

+ 加入清单

When memory began for me, my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man

with thick hair becoming gray. He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended

in a slightly flattened tip. Once he explained seriously to me that he got that

flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose.

The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the prodnct of

a kindly and humorous nature. The years of work which had bent his shoulders had

never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke.

Everywhere he went, "Gramp" made friends easily. At the end of half an hour

you felt you had known him all your life. I soon learned that he hated to give

orders , but that when he had to, he tried to make his orders sound like

suggestions.

One July morning, as he was leaving to go to the cornfield, he said :

"Edwin, you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do that.

" Then he drove away with his horses.

The day passed, and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes. Evening

came and the potatoes were still in the field. Gramp, dusty and tired, led the

horses to get their drink.

"How many bags of potatoes were there?" Gramp inquired. "I dont know.

"

"How many potatoes did you pick up?"

"I didnt pick any. " "Not any! Why not?"

"You said I could pick, them up if I wanted to. You didnt say I had to.

"

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget: when Gramp

said I could if I wanted to, he meant that I should want to.

Gram hated cruelty and injustice. The injustices of history, even those of

a thousand years before, angered her as much as the injustices of her own

day.

She also had a deep love of beauty. When she was almost seventy-five, and

had gone to live with one of her daughters, she spent a delightful morning

washing dishes because, as she said, the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave

her pleasure. The bird, the flowers, the clouds-all that was beautiful around

her- pleased her. She was like the father of the French painter, Millet, who

used to gather grass and show it to his son , saying , "See how beautif ul this

is ! "

In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that

are of value. The softer virtues are considered unnecessary. Men and women

struggling daily to earn a living are unable, even for a moment, to forget the

business of preserving their lives. Only unusual people, like my grandparents,

manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle.

Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to

September in the wonderful days of summer and youth.

Today, as the development of technology, people can change their faces by doing plastic surgery, because of the commercial ads, people are highly effected by the exaggerated facts that they can be the shining stars. So people pay special attention on the outlooks, they want to look perfect, as far as I am concerned, the true beauty is nothing with perfect looking, only the inner beauty makes you shining. In the fairly tale of Cinderella, the prince chooses the poor girl instead of the beautiful girls, because he admires Cinderella’s inner beauty, though she is nobody. Though it is just a story, it tells people that inner beauty makes one outstanding. People can make their faces perfect, but there is no way to fulfill their inner beauty by technology. Inner beauty is the most precious thing, beautiful outlook will fade away with the time, but inner beauty won’t, it only getting valuable.

Sports do us good in many respects.It goes without saying that taking

exercises can build up our physical strength. In collective sports like

basketball, volleyball, or football, we will learn the importance of

cooperation. While taking part in sports game, we will try our best to win and

arouse ourselves the competitive spirit. Sports can also help us relax after a

period of exhausting work. However, as the saying goes, "there are two sides to

everything", and sports is without exception. We may hurt other players or

ourselves if we are not careful enough when participating in sports activities.

Whats more, excessive or severe training can do harm to our health.

My participation in sports tells me that sports can make us healthy both

physically and psychologically. It is also a good way for people to know each

other and can promote friendship between people. So long as we are carefully

enough, sports can do us nothing but good.

My personality is: considerate caring, generous, gentle personality perfectionism, rich imagination, sometimes very lively, with strong tolerance, sensitive love fantasy, not too confident, but dont be sentimental, reject, thought of two minds, very complex. But these are the students comments on me. I think my biggest problem is the love of two minds, take the last math exam for example: I had the score 100 points, because I be negligent, so a path of two minds, wrong, I will deduct 1 points, only 99 points, but I was careless, I think: anyway, I not like the 2 grade exam Eighty-nine points, on the line, I also got 10 points!

This is me. Do you think Im cute?

我叫郑好,今年9岁了,是个小女孩,身高差不多1.4米,是个中等个子,皮肤有些黄,是个地道的中国人。我胖胖的,在那又大又圆的脸上,镶着两颗葡萄似的大眼睛,鼻子是塌塌的,嘴巴小小的。

大家好,我叫陈雨璇,相信大家对我还不太熟悉,下面,我就带你一起走近我和我的生活。

我是一名活泼开朗的小女孩,我学习成绩优异,在班级里名列前茅,我担任班长,责任心强的我,积极帮助老师管理班级,最近,我还参加了校大队委竞选,并被聘为大队宣传委员。

在日常生活中,我真算得上是个阳光少年。笑容每天都挂在我天真的脸上,我还十分幽默,时常给同学们讲一些笑话,容易和同学们打成一片,做为一个班长,这点是必不可少的。

作为21世纪的少年,自强自立的良好风范是不可少的。而我就是一个有着这种良好品质的阳光少年。

我的爸爸妈妈都是人民教师,工作十分忙碌,并且爸爸的单位是在农村,他们也就很少时间来照顾我。幼儿园时,我在学校里寄午餐。每到吃饭时,其他的小朋友都找老师喂饭,而我不仅不要老师喂饭,而且在我早早地吃完饭后还主动肩负起老师的工作――给小朋友喂饭。待大家吃完饭,我还会帮助阿姨收拾桌子。每次一开家长会,老师总是夸我特别懂事,特别独立。

上小学后,妈妈有时早上很早就上班了,我就自己吃完早饭,然后上学。除了第一天上学,其他时候从来都没有家长接送。刚开始过马路时我也很害怕,但我知道,没有人能帮我,只能靠自己!逐渐地,我克服了畏惧的心理。妈妈有时要去学校晚自习,我就一个人在家里做作业、复习功课,往往妈妈回来时,我早就进入梦乡了。

告诉你们一个秘密吧,我小时候有一个毛病――口吃。那时的我连一句完整的话都说不了,但我克服了困难,改掉了这个毛病,而且这几年来在演讲、朗诵等方面还获得了许多的奖。

现在,大家对我一定相当熟悉了。想认识我吗?那就到古田县花园般美丽的校园——古田二小四年(2)班来找我吧,记住,我叫陈雨璇。

What kind of environment should be? Ought to be beautiful, but also should

be to let people feast for the eyes, but now all of you take a look at the

environment, beautiful? Let people feast for the eyes? The answer is no.

So what should we do? Today, Ill give you some advice to protect the

environment, the content is as follows:

We live earth is deteriorating rapidly, did we have to pay attention to

their own living environment cause harm to nature, you must not throw sundry,

especially those serious pollution of garbage, waste batteries, for example,

because the section waste batteries contain heavy metals, if flow to clean the

water, it is very much pollution, then try to save trees made items such as

paper, pencils, because waste these things is the destruction of the forest.

Also try to use less disposable lunch box, chopsticks and plastic bags and other

items, so as to avoid unnecessary waste and reduce waste.

There are some tips: walking to closing the master switch, in order to

avoid electrical appliances overheating explosion, a waste of money and waste of

electricity, save water, to shut the tap when brushing your teeth, wash dish

water to rice, rice water to water the flowers, wash water can sweep the floor,

so we can reduce some waste. 12 dont hunt wild animals, animal protection is

absolutely cant kill, but dont kill the common animals such as frogs, because

frogs eat 15000 bugs for us, and most are pests. Some people often dont think

that is, the stubborn still, so we should try to eat less wild animals, lead to

wild animals, the drop in sales no longer killing of wild animals.

Our forest is called oxygen plant, so to take good care of flowers and

plants, not to destroy the city greening, and actively participate in. But also

to cut down trees less, dont waste wood items, because waste these things is to

destroy the forest, so be used sparingly, to protect the forests of less and

less.

Use energy saving lamps to replace the ordinary light bulb, although some

expensive but can use less electricity. I appeal to you: in our daily actions to

protect earths environment, let our children and grandchildren live in a

beautiful environment!

The first snow came. How beautiful it was, falling so silently all day

long, all night long, on the mountains, on the meadows, on the roofs of the

living, on the graves of the dead! All white save the river, that marked its

course by a winding black line across the landscape; and the leafless trees,

that against the leaden sky now revealed more fully the wonderful beauty and

intricacies of their branches. What silence, too, came with the snow, and what

seclusion! Every sound was muffled, every noise changed to something soft and

musical. No more tramping hoofs, no more rattling wheels! Only the chiming of

the sleigh-bells, beating as swift and merrily as the hearts of children.
