Autumn sister put down the fruit, slowly walked, winter grandpa flat wind quietly came. The north wind blew like a tenor, snowflakes dancing in the sky, like rock and roll dancing.

The weather in winter! The trees put on a straw coat and the child wore thick cotton padded clothes. The adults went to work with the north wind. We braved the snow to go to school. Sometimes we ski on the snow, snowman, snowball fights, play really happy!

April Fools Day is a day to play jokes on others, No one knows how this holiday began but people think it first started in France.

In the 16 th century, people celebrated New Years Day from March 25 to April 1. In the mid—1560s King Charles IX changed it from March 25 to January 1. But some people still celebrated in on April 1, so others called them April Fools.

Each country celebrates April Fools Day differently. In France, people call the April Fools “April Fish”. They tape a paper fish to their friends backs to fool them. When he or she finds this , they shout “April Fish!”

In England, people play jokes only in the morning. You are a “noodle” if someone fools you. In Scotland, April Fools Day is 48 hours long. They call an April Fool “April Gowk”. Gowk is another name for a cuckoo bird.

In the America, people play small jokes on their friends and any other people on the first of Aprol. They may point down to your shoe and say, “ Your shoelace is untied.” If you believe them and look down to see, you are an April Fool then.

It is reported that ten big cities in China are being  among the top twenty cities with the highest pollution index in the world. This means it is high time we did something to bring the situation under control.

Many factors are  to the deteriorating situation: industrial wastes pumped into the air, the lakes and rivers; a increasing number of automobiles crowding into the streets; the  use of plastic bags etc.

To my view, stiffer laws and regulations must be implemented to check pollution. Industries that release wastes without  should be heavily fined. Cars should be equipped to minimize the exhaust they release into the air. And the use of plastic bags and disposable meal boxes should be banned. What’s more, the media should play an important role in implanting a sense

of consciousness into people’s mind.

If everybody works toward a common goal of making the environment better, we can create a cleaner and lovelier world for us and for the coming generation.

行动描写是对人物的行为和动作的描写。“能把个人的性格、思想和目的最清楚地表现出来的是动作，人的最深刻方面只有通过动作才能见诸现实”（黑格尔《美学》），可见行动描写是反映人物思想、性格、心理等有效手段之一。成功的行动描写往往给人留下极为深刻的印象，孙悟空的抓耳揉腮，孔乙己的“排出九文大钱”都是行动描写的范例。那么怎样才能写好行动描写呢?

首先，要精心选择恰当的动词，描写人物富有个性的习惯性动作，以此表现人物的思想、性格。

如：……黑的人便抢过灯笼，一把扯下纸罩，裹了馒头，塞与老栓；一手抓过洋钱，捏一捏，转身走了。”（鲁迅《药》）

作者对康大叔取钱的动作描写，用了“抓”“捏”等动词，准确地写出了他接钱、数钱的熟练程度，生动地刻画了康大叔凶狠、贪婪、惯于敲诈的丑恶嘴脸。

第二、观察要细致入微，要善于捕捉人物细微的动作，以此反映人物的心理。如老葛朗台临终之时，当“十字架、烛台和银镶的圣水壶一出现”，不仅他的“似乎已经死去几小时的眼睛立刻复活了，目不转睛地瞧着那些法器”，就连“他的肉瘤也最后地动了一动”（巴尔扎克《守财奴》）。这一动作方面的细节描写，鞭辟入里地揭示了老葛朗台对金钱的强烈占有欲望至死也没有改变的畸形心态。

又如：“女人的手指震动了一下，想是叫苇眉子划破了手。她把一个手指放在嘴里吮了一个。”（孙犁《荷花淀》）

作者用“震动”、“吮”两个动词准确、细致而生动地写出了水生嫂得知丈夫明天就要上大部队去的消息之后丰富、复杂、细腻的情感世界及其微妙的心理变化，一个关心丈夫，体贴丈夫，但又深明大义，顾全大局的思想进步的青年妇女形象跃然纸上。

第三、要描写人物连续性的动作，使描写富有动感，以此传神。

“抢”“扯”“裹”“塞 ”几个动词，准确生动地表现了刽子手康大叔的蛮横态度，不耐烦的心情。“抓”“捏”两个动词准确地写出了他接钱，数钱的熟练程度。这一连串的动作，十分形象生动地刻画出了康大叔凶残、贪婪的嘴脸。

而肖像描写是指对人物容貌、神情、姿态、服饰等外在特征的描写，它同样是刻画人物性格和心理的有力手段之一。成功的肖像描写能表现人物的社会地位，生活环境，思想情绪，提示人物的内心世界和性格特点。人的服饰也往往与人的性格、身份有关，能反映出一个人的追求、好恶。à 句就是对人物服饰的描写，属于肖像描写。句中虽然有动词“装”“放”“装”，但这并不表示别里科夫正在做着“装”“放”“装”这几个动作，有这样几种行为，而且作者也不是有意想通过这几个动词来揭示人物的性格特点或反映出人物的心理。事实上这几个动词也无法把“个人的性格、思想和目的”“人的最深刻方面”凸现出来。这一段描写和另一段? “穿上雨鞋，带着雨伞，而且一定穿着暖和的棉大衣”描写一样，都是对别里科夫服饰的描写，属于肖像描写的一个方面。课文第一部分作者正是运用这种夸张的语言，漫画式的勾勒来揭示别里科夫种种有形的套子及自愿入套的心理，因循守旧的性格。这种独特的肖像描写，显得幽默诙谐，令人忍俊不禁，具有强烈的讽刺意味，给人留下了极为深刻的印象。从某种意义上说，正是这种独特的肖像描写，奠定了别里科夫在世界文学画廊中的独特地位，使他超越国界，具有更广泛的典型意义。

这种肖像描写在其他课文中还有许多。如：

A、“……头上扎着白头绳，乌裙，蓝夹袄，月白背心，年纪大约二十六七……”（鲁迅《祝福》）

B、“头上戴着束发嵌宝紫金冠，齐眉勒着二龙抢珠金抹额；穿一件二色金百蝶穿花大红箭袖，束着五彩丝攒花结长穗宫绦，外罩石青起花八团倭缎排穗褂；登着青缎粉底小朝靴。”（曹雪芹《林黛玉进贾府》）

虽然A句中有动词“扎”，B句中有动词“戴、勒、穿、束、罩、登”等，但这两句同样不是行动描写，而是对人物服饰的描写，属于肖像描写。A句中“头上扎着白头绳”交代了祥林嫂新寡的悲惨境遇；B句的肖像描写交代了贾宝玉是富家子弟的身份与地位。

人物描写的方法有许多种，有时确实不易辨识，对此我们应当引起足够的重视，不能人云亦云。

家人是指指家庭成员或具备家庭成员间的情感的相关人或事物。我的家人英文优秀作文，希望可以帮助到大家。 篇一：我的家人英文优秀作文

Hi， boys and girls， I am glad to be your English teacher this year. As you dont know much about me， let me first talk about myself here.

On the right you see an age-old picture of my family. Two of them have already passed away-my father and my elder （not the eldest） brother. Both of them died of cancer. my father suffered from liver cancer and was deceased in the year 1978 while my brother was killed by cancer which spread from the underside of his tongue to many other parts of his body. He left us on the 15th of April 1992 at the age of 37.

In the photo， the youngest one， sitting on the lap of the woman（my mother） was me. my younger sister was not yet born. my elder sister was seated next to my mother. She was a fat little girl at that time but now she is a middle-aged mother of two children. Her family and my mother are at present living in the U. S. A. my sister owns a Chinese-American restaurant which has been making good profits.

my eldest brother is a civil servant right now. He has been doing this job for more than 20 years. He likes this job， I guess. He has a son and a daughter. Both are working now. So， his burden as the breadwinner（one who supports the whole family） has not been so heavy recently. Thats whyhe took a trip to Beijing during the last Lunar New Year Holiday.

As for me， I am 36， a school teacher and the father of a boy and a girl who are still too young to help me in anything.

Many changes have taken place over the last 35 years and things will never be the same again. No matter whether you like your family or not， think about itsome years later they wont be around you anymore. Try your best to love and forgive them. Nobody is perfect. They deserve your love and care because they are your family. 篇二：我的家人英文优秀作文

When cellphone became popular many years ago, parents and school at first

banned students to take cellphone into classroom, but now, even the small child

has owned a cellphone. The use of cellphone cant be banned. For students, they

get used to keeping cellphone at hand, but the overuse of it can be blamed to

their parents. Some parents dont set good examples for their children. When

they are together, they just leave cellphones to kids and let them kill the

time. If they show the beautiful scenery around and teach kids to appreciate the

world. Then cellphone wont take up their time.

Dear Bob,

I’m sorry to say that I cannot go to the bookstore with you on Friday

afternoon. I have just found that I have to attend an important class meeting

that afternoon. I hope the change will not cause you too much

trouble.

Shall we go on Saturday morning? We can set out early so that we’ll

have more time to read and select books. If it’s convenient for you, let’s meet

at 8:30 outside the school gate. If not, let me know what time suits you best. I

should be available any time after school next week.

Yours,

Li Hua

我决定写一封信向他道歉英文7

Dear Shelley,

I’m writing to apologize for not watering your jasmine, which caused

its death, while you were away.Now let me explain what

happened to me and my family.

I was so busy preparing for the coming exam that I had no time for

other things. What’s more, my mother had her ankle

injured while she was walking, so I had to take good care of her, who stayed at

home alone. That was why I failed to water your favorite plant. I would like to

buy a new one as a compensation for your loss. Please forgive me.

I sincerely hope you can accept my apologies.

Yours,

英文请假条格式

请假条(written request for leave)是英语学习者必须掌握的常用应用文之一，它包括请病假(note for sick leave)和请事假(leave of absence)。请假条是用于向老师或上级领导等因身体状况不好或因某事请求准假的场合。

英文请假条写作需注意三点：

1.英文中请假条的写法和汉语请假条相同， 它一般由四部分组成，即时间、称呼、正文和签名。

2.一般而言，可认定请假条是一种简单的书信文体。请假条一般写在纸上，不用信封。其书写格式与书信有很多相似之处，是书信的大大简化。

3.请假条的特点是要求开门见山、内容简短、用词通俗易懂。

【范文例析】

假如你是王立。昨天你和同学们去农场帮助农民们摘苹果，不幸(unluckily)从梯子上摔下来伤了腿，但伤得不重。医生让你在家里好好休息。因此，你向高老师请假两天(ask for leave for two days)。(2002新疆乌鲁木齐中考题)

【参考范文】

Sep.28

Dear Miss Gao,

Im sorry I cant go to school today. I helped the farmers pick apples with my classmates on the farm yesterday. Unluckily, I fell off the ladder and hurt my leg, but I wasnt badly hurt. The doctor asked me to stay in bed and have a good rest. So I ask for leave for two days. Wang Li

【点评】这是一份采用书信格式写的请假条。日期是September 28, 日期写在正文的右上角。由于请假条的内容大多是当天、近几日因病或因事请假，所以不必写上年份；称呼是Dear Miss Gao，称呼写在左上角。请假条因是向上级请示，一般以Dear...,或My dear...,开头。有时可在Dear之后，用上Mr.或Miss等的称呼加上姓氏。不过，有一点仍要提醒大家，各种称呼后面一般都用逗号。正文谈了一件事：I fell off the ladder and hurt my leg, but I wasnt badly hurt. I cant come to school. I ask for leave for two days. 简洁明了，用词口语化。写请假条只要把请假的理由和请假时间说清楚即可。有的请假条为了说明其请假事由是真实的，在正文之后另起一行，写上I enclose a doctors certificate.(我附上了医生证明。)；签名为Wang Li。签名(署名)写在右下角，签名(署名)上面一行可以写上Yours, Your student等字样，有时由于写条的人和收条的人彼此一般很熟悉，所以在称呼和签名上比较随便和简单。特别是在签名部分，有时可简单到只写个姓或只写个名就可以了。

关于考试作弊的(About cheating in exams)－共三篇

第一篇：

It is known to us that some students cheat in the examinations at school.

Why do students cheat? For most of the time, students cheat because the exams are too hard for them. It’s easy to see that they haven’t studied hard enough to pass the exams. Others may want to get a higher mark by all means--frankly speaking, they want to be praised or even admired.

As a result, exams certainly become unfair for non-cheating students. And soon the majority of the students will learn and choose to cheat in exams so as to “follow the style.”

Therefore, we must take measures now. First, students need an honest study environment, and second, they should be told to pay more attention to the discipline and seriously obey it all the time.

In a word, students can not cheat on any account.

[关于考试作弊的作文英文

对于求职者来说，如何用心创造有个性的求职信？英文求职信的写作方法有哪些呢？

虽然求职信一般来说包括1.你得知这份工作的管道。2.学历及职历的概要。3.你的个性以及能力。4.联络地点、联络方式，以及最后的感谢语等，但其实这里可以发挥创意的空间非常的大。求职信的诉求在于延续求职简历的内容，更清楚的表现工作企图心、个性、特质等。另外，有时写些自己平时喜欢从事的活动来补充履历也很不错。

举例来说，你甚至可以这么写：「我工作时专注的耐力就是从钓鱼中培养出来的」。

求职信的书写诀窍

1.表现自我的个性及特质

建议使用积极正面的陈述方式。

2.文章不可冗长

控制在总共四段、每段五行以内。

3.前瞻性的气魄

具有勇于突破与开创气质的人是外商公司的最爱。因此并不需要对之前辞职的原委做太多的解释。

4.少用第一人称

为了避免流于自大与主观的缺点，尽量少用第一人称。

说明你从何处得知这个工作机会

这是最基本的部份。一般来说会将媒体广告的名称改用别的字体书写或用底线加以标记。在这个段落中也可加上你的目标。

强调自己就是最佳的人选

这是最精华的段落。要依据求才广告的内容，将自己的能力及特色恰如其份的包装起来。不过在工作经验不足的情况下，要避免将自己吹嘘的过分离谱。

在结尾部份注意应有的礼貌

最后的部份建议要以感谢对方在百忙之中阅读这份履历表，并且“诚挚的期望能得到面试的机会”、“希望有荣幸能为公司效力”这样的句子作为结尾，让主管留下好的印象。

Dear Father Christmas,

So my friend has asked me to write to you... I have to confess its been

hard to know what to say. Mainly because like most adults I feel preposterous

asking anything of you because our time with you is surely done. Now we get our

own presents, control our own fates, take responsibility for our own actions,

and live in the world we have created... so its not for us to turn around and

plead for your help with the environment, the migrant crisis, the NHS,

education, food banks, human rights, fundamentalism and wars. Though God knows

we need all the help we can get with all these man-made problems and more.

And its not that you arent compassionate and full of joy. Youre great.

In spite of you being changed into different colours for corporations and being

bastardised to represent materialism gone mad - despite probably originating in

some season based pagan druid ritual a million thought miles from requests for

spontaneously combusting hoverboards... Kidadults cynically pointing this out

after having their moment of belief in you are wasting everyones precious time.

Because you are not for them. You are for the children. Children who need some

magic in a world where the borders between innocence and responsibility, playful

imagination and cold, adult obstacles are continually shrinking.

This is what Id like to ask you to help with. A little more time for

children to be children. Stretch the moment of magic and playfulness. Distract

them from the realities of a world gone mad so that they can laugh with their

breath rather than sob with their tears. Especially those caring for family

members, or suffering illness, hunger or poverty. Especially those hiding in

buildings as bombs rain down, or being handed shaking with fear or cold into a

boat to escape environmental disaster or war. Please help to light up their

worlds with a moment of joy and hope.

When I think about it youve got it tough this year... And when I really

think about it Im not sure that asking you for a lightsaber and getting one

(not that I ever did by the way) is equatable with controlling the space time

continuum and making the good of childhood last a little longer.

But you do inspire wonder and awe amongst those that write you letters and

go to sleep hoping there might be a new object in their possession come dawn.

You inspire good behaviour and, at least in my memory, some desperate last

minute attempts to redeem bad behaviour so as not to be overlooked. Spare a

thought too for those millions who want to write to you but through illiteracy

cant. Hear their words and help to give them the time and chance to learn how

to read and write so they can better their lives and escape their impoverished

beginnings.

I feel a little sorry for you. And I guess Ive done exactly what I said I

wouldnt... Asked you to help with adult problems and solve some of the greatest

worries we have for our children. I promise to leave some extra port and mince

pies for you!

Lots of love

亲爱的圣诞老人：

我的朋友叫我写信给你……我真的不知道该对你说什么。主要因为跟大部分成年人一样，我觉得跟你要东西似乎很荒谬，因为我们和你已经没有交集了。如今我们自己给自己买礼物，掌控自己的命运，为自己的行为负责，并且生活在我们自己创造的世界里……所以我们没有理由找你帮忙解决这些问题，比如环境问题、移民危机、NHS医保系统、教育、食物银行、人权、原教旨主义和战争。尽管上帝知道，我们需要各种援助去解决这些人为的危机和麻烦。

我并不是说你没有同情心或不乐观。你很伟大。尽管你被各种大公司篡改的面貌全非;被妖魔化以代表那疯狂的拜金主义——简直像异教徒的仪式那样，每到这个季节就要用礼物填满欲望，比如那种可能会自燃的悬滑板。那些童心未泯的成年人竟然生气地认为你是在浪费每个人的宝贵时间，却忘了他们自己也曾相信你。因为你不属于成年人，而是属于孩子们的。孩子们需要一些魔力，因为这个世界上，天真与责任、欢乐的想象力与冷漠以及成人障碍之间的界限正在不断的缩小。

这才是我想求你援助的。让孩子们的童年更长久些吧。延长那充满魔力与乐趣的时刻。让孩童们忽略这疯狂又现实的世界，让他们拥有欢笑而非流泪。尤其是那些过早需要承担家庭责任或身患疾病的孩子们，又或者是那些遭受饥饿与贫穷的孩子们。尤其是那些躲在位于枪林弹雨的建筑中、或者是那些怀着恐惧与寒冷不断颤抖、被塞进船里以逃离灾难和战争的孩子们。请你用希望和欢乐照亮他们的世界。

当我想到今年你处境艰难时……当我仔细思考，我不确定这样是否合理：即找你要一把光剑(虽然我并不曾得到过)来控制时空介质，从而使得美好的童年时光再久一点。

但对于那些给你写信、期待着你会在天明前送给他们礼物而入睡的孩子们，你带给他们好奇和敬畏。你激发了善行，至少在我的记忆中，一些孩子在最后一刻试图弥补过错，以避免因此受罚。还希望你体谅一下数百万想跟你写信却不会写字的人。请你倾听他们的声音，给他们时间和机会去学习读书和写字，这样他们就可以过上更好的生活，逃离贫困的处境。

我对你感到一丝歉意。我好像做了我明明说自己不会做的事……我希望你能帮忙解决成年人造成的麻烦，缓解我们对孩子的某些担忧。我保证，我会给你留超多肉馅饼的!!

满满的爱

本尼迪克特

从地球出生，我便无私的绽放出阳光，温暖着苍茫的大地，亲眼见证了侏罗纪时代恐龙的生与死，也见证了现代人类的进步与创造。

很久很久以前，我见到了地球上的第一个生命。后来，我发现这些生命不喜欢睡觉，就连躺下的习惯也没有，为了改改他们的习惯，我便随便拉了几个行星，但都不合适，就扔在了一边。后来，就有了八大行星这门学说。最后，我失去了信心，直接将一个行星打碎，用它的残骸做了一个小星球——“月亮”。它不会发光，我有把自己的光借给了它，地球在我的呵护下，有了浓密的森林，有了辽阔的海洋，看着这些我的心暖暖的。

后来，恐龙出现了，但它们弱肉强食，我看不下去，便让乌云遮住我的身子，这一遮可不得了，地球黑暗了一百天，恐龙就此灭亡，我流下了悔恨的眼泪。

当我第二次看到了生命时，已是好几万年后，他们就是人类。出生不久就懂事了。还一直安慰我，我的心暖暖的。

大约过了几千万年，人类就发明了很多东西，还懂得利用我的资源，看着这些，我的心暖暖的。但与此同时，我那可爱的地球，被人类弄得面目全非，我流下了眼泪，但这一次，我很矛盾。

自以为是的人类啊，如果你们再无限制的破坏生态环境，下场必然和恐龙一样，如果你们爱惜地球，珍惜来之不易的幸福生活，我将给你们更多温暖。

令我欣慰的是，人类似乎也注意到了这一点，开始保护地球。这时，有一股热泪悄然流入我的心中……
