It was the second day of our summer holiday. I felt good. I felt I am free.

I had a lot of time to do things I like. My parents are in Zhongshan. So I live

alone but I don’t feel lonely. But I didn’t do something special. I stayed at

home and watched TV. Oh! I wrote an Englishdaily composition. It was my

homework. Today, I have slept for 14 hours.I thought I was very tired. It was

time for dinner. I must go! I am very hungry.

小时.我以为我很疲惫。现在是吃晚饭。我必须去!我非常渴望。

This is my routine from Monnday to Friday. However,the weekends are

different. I can wake up late. Then. I can do whatever I like. I believe my

routine is typical. It is probably a lot like yours.

这就是我从周一到周五的例行日程。可是，周末(安排)就不一样了。我可以很晚起床。然后我可以做任何我喜欢的事。我相信我的日程是很典型的。这就可能与你们的日程非常相似。

Mothers Day

Mothers Day comes on the second Sunday in May each year. On that day this year, I bought a sweater and some flowers for my mother to thank her for her hard work for me. Receiving my gift, my mother was very happy.

According to the WHO，2 million people died from smoking and 600 thousand

from secondhand smoke every year. So smoking is banned in China in all public

places both inside and outside from May 1 on.

As is known to all, smoking is bad for peoples health. It may cause many

diseases such as cough, lung cancer and so on. Smoking is especially harmful to

us teenagers because our bodies are still growing. Secondhand smoke does harm to

us as well. So we must do something to keep away from smoking. If someone offers

a cigarette, we should refuse it. And if anyone smokes nearby, we should try to

stop it. From now on, everyone of us should follow the law and say no to

smoking.

[盘点初三英语作文：The exciting Spring Festival

Ah! Christmas morning! Children like to wake up early while its still dark and sneak(蹑手蹑脚) into the living room to check the presentsfind any with their names on it, shake them to guess whats inside, and then maybe theyll go back to bed and pretend they are still asleep when their parents come to wake them with a Merry Christmas!

But almost no one I know gets completely dressed or eats a regular breakfast on Christmas morning. They just put on robes(长袍) or wear their pajamas(睡衣) and go to see whats under the Christmas tree. Some Christian families have a tradition of reading the Bible story of Jesus birth. Maybe its to remind(提醒) the children that Christmas is Jesus birthday.

Someone will begin to take the presents out from under the tree, see whose name is on the package, and then pass them around. Some families wait until all the presents have been given out before opening any of them, while others open each one as it comes to them. There are many thank you to the ones who gave the gifts. New clothes are tried on to see if they are fit, and of course the most interesting toys will immediately be played with.

Usually among the Christmas gifts will be some especially delicious candy or cake or cookies which everyone tastes. These sweet things may be the only breakfast many people eat on Christmas morning. After the gifts have been opened, the room will be tidied up except where the children are playing with their toys. Everyone will wash and get dressed for the day.

[精选初三英语作文：Christmas Day

没有追求的人就如同变质的面包，留着浪费扔了可惜;就如同在原石里的翡翠就算价值连城，无人开采，依然暗淡无光;就如同深海里的小鱼，一辈子忧心忡忡逃不出大海。有追求才有方向，才有上进心，有坚持的勇气。

我常常在想我的追求是什么，却总也没有过答案。幼儿园里老师问我的追求是什么，我说：“我要世界上所有的玩具!”老师笑笑，说：“也可以哦，不过等你长大了，也许就不是这个答案了。”当时年幼无知的我，又怎会知道老师说的意思，这件事后来便也逐渐淡忘了。后来小学时，有一次写作文题目是《我的追求》。那次是我明事理以来第一次思考这样的问题，我回到家后绞尽脑汁也没想出个所以然，最后只得随便找了个“追求”交了上去，但那并不是我想要的，但却给了我追求的决心。我每天都在找我的追求。上课找它，在家找它，睡觉时也想着它。

直到一天，我有一次考试，考得很好老师让我上去讲题，我刚开始还有些紧张，但是我看见同学们认真听我讲解的样子，让我有些享受。之后的我一直对讲台有着不一样的依恋。我终于明白我所追求的到底是什么。

我的内心对老师总有着特别的敬意，这是我对别的职业所缺少的。不仅仅是因为他们严厉、德高望重，更是因为他们为国家培养一代代的栋梁。他们一味的付出却从不要求回报，正如“春蚕到死丝方尽，蜡炬成灰泪始干”。他们不仅仅是老师，更是同学们的朋友、亲人，这便是所谓的“亦师亦友”吧。他们需要教育我们，还要关注我们的心理状态，处理好师生关系。就是这样一群人奋斗了无数个日月，他们培养的人才数不胜数，但是知道他们的人却是少之又少，但他们从未抱怨。记得有一次上课，我的班主任在课上对同学们说了一句话，至今我都印象深刻，她说：“我是教育工作者，为国家培养人才，是我的职责，你们就是国家的希望，我们一定要付出我们的一切来为国家培养人才。”在他们的渲染中也让我渴望这个角色，想成为他们一样的人。

有追求的人就像天空上的耀灵，光芒四射;就像乐队中的指挥家，悠然自得。我相信我定会实现我的追求眺望远方。——后记

It was sunny and very hot today。 I got up early and helped my parents cook breakfast。 Then I washed the dishes and cleaned the room。 After a short rest I did my homework in the morning。 In the afternoon I went swimming in the nearest swimming pool with my friends。 It was really cool to swim in such a hot day。 I surfed the internet and read a storybook in the evening。 I really had a busy and interesting day。翻译：这天天气晴朗比较热。 我起得很早，帮我的父母做早饭。然后我洗碗打扫屋子。休息一会后我上午做作业。 下午我和朋友去我家最近的游泳池游泳。 在如此炎热的夏天游泳的确很棒。 晚上我上网、看故事书。我这天很忙过得很搞笑。

Spring Festival is one of the traditional festivals in China. On the 30th day of the year, children should pay a New Years greetings to their elders. People want to be reunited with their loved ones and have a New Years eve dinner. To stay at home, watch "Spring Festival gala", while keeping watch; At 12 am, outside the home, the window, downstairs, firecrackers sound deafening, people set off firecrackers, completely intoxicated in the Spring Festival this festive season.

I spent the Spring Festival at my mother-in-laws house. In the evening, I watched the "Spring Festival gala" as usual, and when it was getting closer to 12, the host was counting down "10,9,8... 3,2,1. As the Numbers approached, the sound grew more and more slowly, and continued until 12 o clock. When the countdown is over, our house is busy! "Happy New Year! Chinese New Year! Youre one year older." Then our family went downstairs and set off fireworks. The other day, my uncle bought a lot of firecrackers. There is a gyro, a little bee, a pearl, a world, and a lot of names. The appearance of firecrackers also has many. Flower face, butterfly... Some of heaven and earth ring 20 hair, some of the world sounds 50, and there is another 100. Of all the firecrackers, the most striking is the sound of heaven and earth. Its about the same size as a small table. I can feed four or five people. It is also heavy and requires two or three adults to move. After a long wait, the other firecrackers were finally finished. Thats the beginning! "Knock! Pa! Bam! Pa! Bam! Pa! ...... "The voice was so loud that it was like a loud thunderclap of thunder.

Although I covered my ears, when the sound was too loud, I could hear it. In the last few rounds, "bam! Bam! Bam! Pa! Wow! The explosion of firework, like a flame, scattered all around. It was a magnificent sight! When I got home, my heart was still very long. Who will clean it up? Of course its my aunt and uncle. In order to make nanjing more beautiful, they would sacrifice the time of the New Year, to be honest, meticulous, meticulous and selfless. And are now on duty of the polices uncle aunts, they in order to make the safety of the citizens have a year, in every corner of the city of nanjing, dedicated to patrol the, thought of here, I entered the beautiful dreams...

春节是我国传统节日之一。在年30这天，小朋友们要给长辈拜年，拿红包；人们要和亲人团聚，吃年夜饭；更要在家，一边看“春节联欢晚会”，一边守岁；等到凌晨12点，家外，窗边，楼下，鞭炮声震耳欲聋，人们放着鞭炮，完全沉醉在春节这欢乐的节日中。

我是在婆婆家过的春节。晚上，我照旧在看“春节联欢晚会”，当离12点越来越近时，主持人进行倒计时“10，9，8……3，2，1。”随着数字的接近，声音越来越缓慢，一直延续着，直到12点。当倒计时数完时，我们家热闹起来了了！妈妈高兴的喊道：“过年啦！过年啦！你又长大了一岁。”接着，我们一家下楼放烟火。前几天，舅舅买了许多鞭炮。有地陀螺，有小蜜蜂，有夜明珠，有天地响，还有许多叫不上名字的。鞭炮的样子也有许多。花脸，蝴蝶……有的天地响20发，有的天地响50发，还有的天地响100发。在这么多的鞭炮中，最引人注目的要数一种天地响。它的个头同一个小桌子差不多。能供四五个人吃饭。它的重量也很重，需要两三个成年人才能搬动。等了好久，终于把其他鞭炮放完了。当头好戏开始了！“嘭！啪！嘭！啪！嘭！啪！……”这声音惊天动地，好似雷公公发怒的巨响。

我虽然捂住了耳朵，当声音实在是太大，还是能听见。到了最后几发，“嘭！嘭！嘭！啪！哗哗哗哗哗！！”炸开的烟花如火焰一般向四周散去，那情景非常壮观！回到家，我的心仍然久久不能平静。谁来清理呢？当然是清洁工叔叔阿姨了。他们为了让南京更加美丽，不惜牺牲过年的时间，认认真真、仔仔细细、一丝不苟、无私奉献地打扫。还有，现在正值班的警察叔叔阿姨们，他们为了让市民们安全的过个年，在南京市的每一个角落，兢兢业业地巡逻着，想到这里，我进入了美丽的梦乡……

Dear John， It’s Father’s Day today. It’s a special day， isn’t it？ I think we should do something to show our love for our fathers on this special day. My father and I are good friends. Whenever I meet with difficulties， he is always there， ready to help me. Today I will make a beautiful card for him， with my thanks and best wishes on it. Then I will help him wash the car this afternoon and cook his favorite food in the evening. Besides， I’ll take a walk with him after dinner and then play chess with him， for he likes it very much. I’m sure he’ll be very happy. What’s your plan for Father’s Day？ I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Yours，

亲爱的约翰： 今天是父亲节。它是一个特别的日子， 不是吗？ 在这个特别的日子我认为我们应该做一些事情来向我们的父亲表达我们的爱。我的爸爸和我是好朋友。不论我什么时候遇到困难， 他总是在那里准备帮助我。今天， 我将为他制作一张漂亮的卡片， 在上面写上我的谢意和最美好的祝愿。然后下午我将帮助他洗汽车， 在晚上做他最喜欢吃的食物。此外， 晚饭后我将和他散步， 然后和他下象棋， 因为他非常喜欢下象棋。我确信他将非常高兴。你的父亲节计划是什么？ 我期盼着你的来信。

时间是生命，时间是金钱，时间到底是什么?我一直在思考着这个问题。 Time is life, time is money, what is time? I have been thinking about this problem.

妈妈说：“时间是溪水，一去便不复返。”

爸爸说：“时间是一个公正的法官，他对每个人都是无私的。”

姐姐说：“时间是一位画家，在每个人的脸上勾勒出岁月的痕迹。”

哥哥说：“时间是秤杆，称出奋斗者成果的重量。”

爷爷说：“时间是金钱，一寸光阴一寸金，寸金难买寸光阴。"

时间是什么?在你思考这个问题时，时间已经穿过你的脑海走了。在写这几个字的时候，时间又从你的笔尖旁溜走了。在写这篇习作的时候，时间已成群结队的走了。可想而知，当你看完这篇作文时，时间已经在你的眼前走了。

花丛春走过，留下花香;叶从夏走过，留下片片阴凉;风从秋走过，留下阵阵金浪;雪从冬走过，留下种.种希望。可是，我经历了多少个春夏秋冬?我从人生的四季走过，会留下什么?有什么印痕呢?只有回忆?在回忆里，除了叹息和哭泣，还剩些什么?

时间并不是虚无飘渺的神话，它是一个客观存在的实体。只要你细心体会，你就会发现时间在无声无息的流逝，它可能是一座山，让你感到巍峨;它可能是一片海，让你感到壮阔;它可能是时空老人，老人不停地走，时间也在不停地走。它是树苗，开花，结果，收获。

时间?时间?

This afternoon, we play a game called ‘Family Tree’. This game is very

interesting. I’m very interested in it. Our teacher’s family is very large. She

has many brothers and sisters. But I am unlucky, I has only a sister and I

without brothers. But I think I have the best parents in the world. They are

very friendly to me. I live in a good family. My grand parents loves me, too.

When they buy meat, they will give the best parts of the meat to me.

When I was a child, I can’t undertand them. I want to have bread. My grand

father took a bike to Qu Tang. Because in our village there is no ‘bread house’.

Qu Tang is far from our village. Now I grow up. I understand them when I think

of this things. I will cry I can’t use words to say I love them.

I love my family!

今天下午，我们玩了一个游戏叫做“家谱”，这个游戏很有趣。我觉得非常有趣。我们老师的家是非常庞大的，她有兄弟组妹。但我是不幸的，我仅有一个妹妹并没有弟弟。但我觉得我有全世界最好的父母。他们对我非常好，我有一个好的的家庭，我的父母也很爱我，当他们买肉，他们会把最好的给我吃。

当我还很小的时候，我不理解他们。我想要吃面包，我的伟大的父亲骑车去Qu Tang.因为在我们乡村这里没有面包房。qu

tang离我们村庄很远，现在我长大了，我明白了他们为我为我想要的事，我感到愧疚，无法用言语表达我爱他们。

我爱我的家人。

A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do not

A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some urgent things to say to good people.

Day after day my men and I struggle to hold back a tidal wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wrong with our once-proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A key ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability .

My job as a police pfficer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or have never learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external control on peoples behavior is far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.

Fortunately there are still communities smaller towns, usually where schools maintain discipline and where parents hold up standards that proclaim:

In this family certain things are not tolerated they simply are not done!

Yet more and more, especially in our large cities and suburbs, these inner restraints are loosening. Your typical robber has none. He considers your property his property; he takes what he wants, including your life if you enrage him.

The main cause of this break-down is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, in a shocking reversal, its the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged upbringing, by the school that didnt teach him to read, by the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, by the parents who didnt provide a stable home.

今天我很高兴，因为我拿了三千元的红包。 祖父一个人就给了我一千元。 我必须尽量存起来以后作上大学之用而不去花掉。 不过我想我会让自己明天用一部分钱去买一件新衣服，然后将其他的钱存到银行里去。

Ground rules

One of my favorite teachers at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape

Girardeau was known of his droll sense of humor. Explaining his ground rules to

one freshman class, he said, "Now I know my lectures can often be dry and

boring, so I don‘t mind if you look at your watches during class. I do, however,

object to your pounding them on the desk to make sure they‘re still

running."

基本原则

位于吉拉多海角的密苏里东南州立大学有一位我非常喜欢的老师，他奇特的幽默感很是出名。在对一个新生班级讲解他的基本原则时，他说：“我知道我的讲课可能经常会枯燥乏味，了无生趣，所以如果你们在上课时看表我并不介意。不过我坚决反对你们将表在课桌上猛敲看它们是不是还在走。”

When it comes to success, different people have different opinions about

what makes it come true. Some people regard hard-working as an essential quality

to success while others believe being clever would lead to success. From my

point of view, I think perseverance and hard-working are indispensable for those

who want to make an achievement.

Firstly, perseverance let people step closely towards success. Most people

want to make a big difference to prove their value. People who set their goal

and keep moving would make their dream come true. However, there are some people

who set their goal but they stop at the difficulty would fail in the end. I

think the difference between success and failure is perseverance. If we have

perseverance, even if we are not clever, we will make a great difference, but if

we not, we are doomed to lose. As we all know, Edison is a great inventor in the

world. However, before he invented the bulb, he kept trying for tens of

thousands of times to find a suitable wire. Let us imagine, if he gave up at the

999th, then how he couldn’t become so successful. So, I strongly believe that

perseverance produces success.

Secondly, there is also a kind of people who are born with cleverness, I

think they are lucky. Nevertheless, if they don’t make a hard work on their way

to their goal, they, absolutely, will become loser. Whether we are gifted for

intelligent, we must be hard-working so as to success. I regard hard-working as

an efficient approach to be successful because I believe ‘pains and gains’. As

for those who do not make great efforts on work, failure follows. In old times,

there is a clever boy who can make excellent poem when he can talk. When his

father found the little child’s cleverness, he just let the child make poems to

show around while never let the boy learned anything. When the boy grew up,

people forgot him because he lost the ability to compose poems and became

ordinary as others. From this matter, we can see that only by hard-working can

we get knowledge and make a good future.

Anyway, I think perseverance and hard-working are both important in our way

to success for they enhance us and produce success.

世间一切，都是遇见。每一刻的遇见，都是新的绽放。-----题记

当我们与自然相见，便踏上那充满诗意的旅程;当我们与书籍遇见，便产生一次次心灵的碰撞;当春与冬相遇，又看见岁月的蹉跎。每一次遇见，都是难以忘怀。

那一天，我遇见了——走钢索的人。

记得小时候，爸妈带着我们兄妹俩去看表演，其中有一项最精彩，也最令人紧张的，便是走钢索。

常看见艺人们走在钢索之上，每次都会惊出一身冷汗，可他们的眼神却如此坚定，花样层出不穷，也许在人们看来，那是在用自己的生命表演，偶有不慎，粉身碎骨。可在艺人看来，那些不过是雕虫小技，那钢索，是与他们有着肌肤之亲的灵魂啊!

记忆犹为深刻的一次，是在9岁。第一次来到钢索的前面，在鸦雀无声的表演大厅中看艺人走钢索。

全场肃穆。

看着艺人走在细细的钢索之上，表演着层出不穷的花样。只看见他们在钢索上跳跃，旋转，用自行车在钢索之上轻松驶过。眼神从未游离，正视前方，目光如炬。台下看着的人双腿颤颤，台上做的人却双腿笔直——正如他的眼神一样的坚定。观众凝神屏气，眉头紧蹙，欣赏这“命悬一线”的表演。于是，我惊出一身冷汗。

他们是怎样练就平衡的?这个问题，在我心底埋藏三年。之后终于悟出：走钢索确实是拿生命在表演，成功者必定在幕后下了千锤百炼的功夫，才会拥有如履平地的平衡技巧。

成长之后，看艺人走钢索，依然惊出一身冷汗。

它与人生，惊人的相似。

有勇无谋者，艺高无胆者，身无绝技者，还有敷衍塞责者，不求上进者，好高骛远者，等等等等。走起钢索，战战兢兢，如履薄冰，稍有不慎，粉身碎骨!

在人生的钢索上行走，唯有倾尽全力，稳打稳扎，才能把自己的一生圆满地诠释出来。

所以，感谢钢索艺人，让我懂得人生;感谢上天，让我遇见;感谢遇见，让我的生命，有了新的绽放。

世间一切，都是遇见，静待花开，等待遇见!

Saving Water

The world is not only hungry,but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75 % of the earths surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% -- the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes,underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.

However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly-- almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. Let me give you just one small exampie of how necessary water is to industry. Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel, it takes about 91, 000 liters of water?

We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale. For us, the systems are as important as the spacecraft.

节约用水

我们的世界不仅饥饿，而且因为缺水而干渴。对你来说这可能似乎奇怪：因为我们的地球表面75%由水覆盖着。但是，这巨大的数量中97%是海水、或咸水。只有剩下3%

的来自河流、湖泊、地下，和其他来源的淡水供人们饮用、使用。即使如此，这3%的水源我们也不能够完全使用，因为有些淡水是以冰山或冰河的形式存在。更糟糕的是，一些水源已遭受了污染。

然而，尽管按现状看来，这些少量的淡水即使时常转化成雨水的形式，对我们来说，也仍然够用。可是我们对水的需求却日益迅速增长。我们只有现在采取措施解决这一问

题才能避免未来世界范围内的严重水资源缺乏。限量供水会对农业和工业产生不良的影响。我们举个小小的事例就能证明水对工业的必要性。每生产一吨钢材就要消耗91，000升水，你知道吗?

我们必须杜绝对宝贵水资源的浪费。我们应该采取的第一步就是要发展水再利用的方法。该领域的实验已在进行，但是仅是小规模地进行。水资源再利用系统的重要性

对我们而言，与空间站不相上下。
