+ 加入清单Since I go to school, my parents always tell me that I should study hard,
so that I can find a good job in the future and earn a lot of money. To most
people, the purpose of reading books is to make money. But as I study more, I
realize that making money and reading books don’t have the directly connection.
The children should know more about the world by reading more books, at the same
time, they need to sense the great joy of reading. When they are equipped with
knowledge, they can solve problems by the skills they learn, the most important
thing for them is to face difficulties with positive attitude.

篇3：保护动物的高中英语作文
全文共 1553 字
+ 加入清单我们要保护小动物，特别是小鸡这类弱小的动物，因为小鸡早晨可以叫我们起床，可以生一个又一个圆圆的的鸡蛋，还可以提供鸡肉给我们吃。
We need to protect the small animal, especially this kind of small animal chicken, because chicken morning to wake us up, can have a round egg, can also provide for us to eat chicken.
有一次，我和妈妈上菜市场，听见一位老奶奶在喊：“卖鸡了，今天的鸡又肥又嫩!”妈妈说：“今天，我们买一只鸡回家，炖汤喝。”我说：“好吧。”可又想了想：如果我们吃了鸡，那么就吃不到鸡蛋了，就对妈妈说：“不行，吃了鸡就没有鸡蛋吃了。”“傻孩子，你瞎操什么心啊!”妈妈不由分说地把我拉到卖鸡的那边。卖鸡的老奶奶正在杀鸡，只见她拔下鸡脖子上的毛，拿刀用力地在鸡脖子上划了几下。血喷向了四周，鸡挣扎了几下就死了。“太残忍了，我不要吃鸡!”我向妈妈大声的抗议。“好吧，不买了，我们就去买点蔬菜吧。”也许妈妈也觉得残忍，就同意了。
One time, my mother and I heard the food market, an old woman shouted: "chicken, chicken fat and tender today!" Mother said: "today, we bought a chicken soup to drink at home." I said: "OK." But think again: if we eat chicken, so cant eat the egg, the mother said: "no, not eat chicken egg to eat." "Silly boy, what do you care ah!" Mother allowing no explanation to put me into the chicken. The old woman was a chicken, she pulled out the hair on the neck, a knife in the neck with a few strokes under. Blood sprayed around chicken, struggled and died. "So cruel, I dont eat chicken!" I asked my mother loudly protested. "Well, do not buy, we went to buy some vegetables." Maybe mom was cruel, also agreed.
假如我们的生活中没有了动物，世界就会变得很孤独。我们要保护动物，从自身做起：少吃肉类食品，少穿皮衣毛衣;看见别人欺负动物，要勇敢地站出来劝说他们。
If we live without the animal, the world will become very lonely. We must protect the animal, start from their own: eat less meat, less wear fur sweaters; see others bully animal, we should stand up to persuade them.
保护动物，人人有责!
Animal protection, everyones responsibility!
篇4：照片里的故事初中
全文共 731 字
+ 加入清单快，把这两张照片也帮我存到手机里。奶奶拿着手机对我说。
奶奶，这上面都是谁啊?看上去是很久以前的照呀。我看着小姨奶发来的照片，疑惑地问。
几十年过去了。奶奶低下头，小声地说。
六十多年前，随着一声啼哭，黄家的院子里又多了一个女孩，她就是我的奶奶。
奶奶在家中排行老四，有三个姐姐一个妹妹。听奶奶讲，当时他们家可是一个大户人家。她的父亲有几个哥哥，还有两个弟弟。但究竟有几个哥哥，奶奶也说不清了。
在奶奶七八岁的时候，他的父亲好像是违背了祖训，被赶出了这个家族，全家人只能跟着奶奶的父亲离开。
在那几年，那个年幼的女孩跟着家人几乎走遍了江苏各地，甚至还到过山东，她不清楚父母为何要这么做，也许这就是命运吧。几年东奔西走后，他们终于在连云港落脚。不知不觉中，奶奶上了初中，她的大姐，二姐都出嫁了，她的父亲也老了。
奶奶上完初中就进工厂工作了。那一年，她的三姐也嫁出去了。家中只剩下她与妹妹，还有父母。
又过了几年，奶奶在工厂里结识了爷爷。经过一段时间，他们结婚了。在老新浦街的某个巷口里，他们举行了婚礼。爷爷家里出资，买了一户平房，这就成了爷爷奶奶的婚房。
恢复高考改革后，奶奶的妹妹考上了大学，但最后由于种种原因没有去上。
为什么小姨奶不去上大学呢?我打断正在讲的奶奶。
家庭成分。奶奶答道。
不多久，我的父亲出生了。他们一直在那栋平房里住到我出生，才搬了家。
就在我出生后不久，奶奶的父亲去世了，那时我年纪尚小，没太多记忆。没过几年，奶奶的母亲也去世了。那时我三岁，只记得那几天，奶奶总是哭。
眼前奶奶的眼眶已湿润，她拿起了一本泛黄的小本子，那是一个电话本，记录着亲朋好友的电话号码，大部分都是几十年前的老号码，基本上都不使用了。奶奶翻看着，仿佛回到了从前，遇见了老友，他们在黄昏下聊着天。

+ 加入清单With the development of the Internet， many people are used to shopping
online。 It has become a fashion in our daily life。 Some of us students also join
the group.
Shopping online has many advantages. Just by a click of the mouse， you can
buy what you’re interested in without going outdoors。 You can avoid getting
tired and being trapped in the crowded people and cars and save time。 When
shopping online， you can choose from more varieties of goods， whose prices are
generally lower.
Every coin has two sides。 Its disadvantages are obvious， too.On the one
hand， it’s very easy for you to buy goods different from the pictures you see on
the Internet。 On the other hand， shopping online may cause people to buy goods
that are not badly needed.That’s a waste of money.
All in all， I love shopping online.

篇11：照片里的故事600字初中
全文共 600 字
+ 加入清单那天我正在翻看相等，这张是我去华山时拍的，那张是我去九龙山时拍的。我一张张地翻看着，不停地笑着。到最后一张时，一张密封地最精致，看起来“年代久远”都有点泛黄的一张照片闯进了我的视线。
我小心翼翼地将这张照片从相册取出来，照片上的这个小女孩和我好像。我问妈妈，妈妈说：“这是你小时候啊！你不记得了？"
我摇摇头，确实不记得我拍过这么一张照片，照片上的我穿着粉色上衣，运动裤，运动鞋，留着雷打不动的刘海，这发型，哈哈，像哪吒。
更让我感到笑点的是我怯生生的表情，我不禁笑出了声。妈妈说：”这是你第一次去照相馆拍照，你不敢进去，死死地抓着人家前台的柜子。最后好不容易把你”哄”进去拍照，那里的灯光一暗，你就吓得跑出来了。把人家摄影师都逗笑了，我们都特别奇怪，小孩子不都喜欢照相吗，你为什么那时那么害怕照相，最后我们想了想原因，大概是因为你怕黑吧。”
哥哥经常用这张照片来调侃我，他总说照这张照片时是我的“颜值巅峰期”，说就说吧，我也不在乎。我怀疑”照相馆事件”应该是我小时候唯一的一次“忧”了吧，现在的我很喜欢拍照，但由于学习的原因，也不能经常出去转了，现在想起来，小时候的时光真的令人羡慕呢。
唯一让我不解的是这张照片已经这么旧了，为什么还要保存它呢？妈妈说，虽然照片已经旧了，但那段时光永远不会陈旧。妈妈说，等十车后，二十年后再拿出来看，一定会很有意义。
我轻轻地将照片放进了相簿，就让这段时光永远珍藏在相簿里吧！

My favorite little animal, the tortoise, gave me the name "Li Shiyan", and I usually called it "extension"". Not only is it cute, but it can understand me sometimes! Its head is small, thin neck, also carrying a bowl of the same size as the shell, green, pointy little tail walking swaying is very interesting.

Although it is only a small animal, but it also has a kind heart. Once when Grandpa was ill in hospital, he went hungry! Even if we bought it its favorite loach fish, he refused to eat it. It wasnt until the grandfather left the hospital half a month ago that he was happy to eat, and it was really a love and pity at the time.
但有时候，它也很“可恨”!一天，它在玻璃缸里憋的难受要出来，我看它着急的样子就好心帮它，我用食指和大拇指小心地捏住它的壳，轻轻地把它拿出来，没想，到它竟然用尖尖的爪子挠我，真是不识好人心!虽然我很生气，但看到它开心的在地上自由的到处玩耍，我也替它高兴。

篇14：英语哲理性故事文章
全文共 2461 字
+ 加入清单有两个贫苦的樵夫靠上山捡柴糊口，有一天，他们在山里发现两大包棉花，两人喜出望外。棉花轻且贵，当下俩人各背了一包棉花赶路回家。
There once were two poor woodsmen who made a living by collecting woods in the mountain。 One day， they happened to discover two large bag of cotton in the mountain and felt surprisingly happy。 The cotton was light but valuable， so they carried it on their back and went back home。
走着走着，其中一名樵夫眼尖，看到山路上扔着一大捆布，他就和同伴商量。扔下棉花，背布回家。他的同伴却有不同的看法，认为自己背着棉花已走了一大段，到了这里丢下棉花，岂不枉费了先前的辛苦，坚持不愿换布。发现布的樵夫则尽其所能背起布走。又走了一段路，背布的樵夫望见不远处的地上散落着数坛黄金。心想这下真的发财了，赶忙用挑柴的扁担挑黄金。他的同伴仍是不愿丢下棉花，并怀疑黄金不是真的。发现黄金的樵夫只好自己挑了两坛黄金，和背棉花的伙伴赶紧回家。
When they were walking home， one of the woodsmen spotted a large bundle of cloth beside the road。 So he discussed with his partner whether to discard the cotton and take the cloth instead。 But his partner held a different view that since he had carried the cotton for such a long way， he would not change it with cloth because all his previous effort would turn out to be in vain。 Therefore， the other woodsman abandoned the cotton and carried the cloth on his back。 After walking for a while， the woodsman who carried the cloth spotted several jars of gold disseminated on the ground not far away。 He felt so thrilled that he was going to be a wealthy man。 So he gave up the cloth and used his carrying pole to carry two jars of gold， while his partner was still reluctant to abandon the cotton and wondering whether the gold was real or not。
谁知道刚走到山下。天竟下起雨来，俩人在空旷处被淋了个透。更为不幸的是，背棉花的樵夫背上的棉花，吸饱了雨水。重得背不动，实在不得已，只能丢下一路辛苦舍不得放弃的棉花，空着手和挑金子的同伴回家去了。
However， when they just went down to the foot of the mountain， it began to rain all of a sudden。 Both of them were wet from head to toes。 More unfortunately， the woodsman who carried the cotton found that his cotton had absorbed tons of water and became so heavy that he could no longer go on carrying it。 Desperately， he had to abandon the cotton and went back home empty—handed with his partner carrying gold。
在人生的每个关键时刻，谨慎地运用智慧，做最正确的选择，同时别忘了及时审视选择的角度，适时调整。要学会从各个不同的角度全面研究问题，放掉无谓的固执。冷静地用开放的心胸做正确抉择。每次正确无误的抉择将指引你走在通往成功的坦途上。
This story implies that we should deliberately utilize our wisdom and intelligence to make the right choice in face of every critical point in our life。 Meantime， we should not forget to review all the choices we have carefully and adjust our goal accordingly。 We should learn to view a certain issue from different angles and avoid being stubborn。 By opening your mind to the right choice， you will be guided to a smoother way to success。
篇15：初中英语作文题目
全文共 712 字
+ 加入清单Many people, sometimes myself included, tend to judge a person by his
appearances.
I was afraid of my uncle who has a scared tattoo on his arm till my mother
told me a “story”. When I was a three-year-old naught boy, I always ran around
the neighborhood with my toy saber. Unfortunately, one day I hit a wild dog by
accident. The dog became crazy and tried to bite me. It was that time my uncle
appeared and protected me with his strong arm. However, this accident left a
scar on his arm. My uncle went to get a tattoo in order to cover up the scars.
From that moment, he is my hero in stead of a bad looking uncle.
So we need to go beyond peoples looks and focus on more internal spirits
in order to truly judge a person.

篇17：关于茶的英语作文初中
全文共 1688 字
+ 加入清单"When a guest comes to my home from afar on a cold night, I light bamboo to
boil tea to offer him.”— Ancient Chinese poem.
China is the home country of tea. Before the Tang Dynasty, Chinese tea was
exported by land and sea, first to Japan and Korea, then to India and Central
Asia and, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, to the Arabian Peninsula. In the early
period of the 17th century, Chinese tea was exported to Europe, where the upper
class adopted the fashion of drinking tea. Chinese tea—like Chinese silk and
china—has become synonymous worldwide with refined culture. At the heart of the
culture of tea—the study and practice of tea in all its aspects—is the simple
gesture of offering a cup of tea to a guest that for Chinese people today is a
fundamental social custom, as it has been for centuries.
China traces the development of tea as an art form to Lu Yu, known as "the
Saint of Tea" in Chinese history, who lived during the Tang Dynasty and who
wrote The Book of Tea, the first ever treatise on tea and tea culture. The
spirit of tea permeates Chinese culture, and throughout the country there are
many kinds of teas, teahouses, tea legends, tea artifacts and tea customs.
Better-known places to enjoy a good cup of tea in China include Beijing noted
for its variety of teahouses; Fujian and Guangdong provinces and other places in
the southeast of China that serve gongfu tea, a formal serving of tea in tiny
cups; the West Lake in Hangzhou, also the home of the Tea Connoisseurs
Association, noted for its excellent green tea; and provinces in southwest China
like Yunnan where the ethnic groups less affected by foreign cultures retain tea
ceremonies and customs in original tea-growing areas.

全文共 678 字
+ 加入清单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.
