Write an essay of 160—200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should first describe the drawing, then interpret its meaning, and give your comment on it. You should write neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points) As is vividly revealed in the drawing above, water is being wisely utilized in the daily life of a family.

The good conduct is indeed praiseworthy and should be popularized in our society. The implied meaning of the drawing can be stated as follows. To begin with, to practise economy is closely related to our daily life. In terms of our clothing, food, sheltering, and transport, much work can be done to save valuable energy and natural resources such as power, water, coal, gas and so on. We, as university students, should take the wise use of paper and second-hand textbooks into consideration. What’s more, the public participation is the foundation of a society in which to practise economy is advocated and treasured. Since social environment is shaped by the general public, the cultivation of economy-practising society depends on the active involvement of every member of our society, be he old or young. In sum, our daily life should be permeated with the sense of practising economy and public participation should be encouraged.

In my view, necessary measures should be taken so as to practise economy. On the one hand, we should launch a public campaign to help people build up the sense of practicing economy in our routine life. On the other hand, education on how to practise economy must be promoted by relevant government departments and professionals at different levels. Only in this way can we create a real economy-practising society.

选修课(Selective Courses) This term our school laid down a new rule about selective court. For the first two weeks, we may sit in as many classes as we like before we decide on which courses to choose. We jumped for joy. The first week I attended classes for four evenings on end and found out that most of the teachers took it serioualy. They were busy in "winning votes" for fear, that later on no one would attend their lectures.

For example, the teacher of Modern Literature of Taiwan said, "Actually the flrst two hours of my lecture were only a prelude. The real contents have not been involved. In the furore, we shall discuss such famous writers as Qiong Yao, Xi Murong, etc, and such famous aetresses as Lin Fengjiao, Lin Qingxia etc. We have lots of vedio-taped films to watch. These are confined only to those who co-major in this court." See, after all, the last sentence is the core of everything he said.

The teacher of Appreciation and Critics of Modern Opera said, "We have a variety of contents and the teaching method is changable. For instance, l may choose one act from a play and let you perform it in class. If you do a good job, you can put on the play at the school theater festival. Also, we shall arrange for you to watch current plays. The school is in charge of the traffic and tickets, Of course, only those who co-major this course are eligible." You see, the most important thing comes at last through twists and turns.

算起来,自己也上了10几年的学了,和老师打的交道也不算少的。自打到了初三,我和老师的关系就越来越密切了,隔三差五的,我就要去和老师交流下感情,那个点击率啊,真是高啊。每天,必有一次谈心。我不知道为什么,我只知道,老师特别喜欢和我聊天。

第一次月考完了之后,我不小心,在全年级进步了70多名。我并没付出什么努力,该怎么玩还是怎么玩,可能就是老前辈们说的,雨花石偶尔反一下光。所以,我上课要打瞌睡的这个习惯还是没改。有一天,我和同桌闹了矛盾,她就不帮我看着老师了,任由我睡,她也不管了,正好,上课的时候是班主任的课。结果可想而知,我被老师抓住了。老师说:“刘柏森,下课来下办公室。”我站起来点点头,说:“我可以坐下了么?”“你给我站着。”“拜托,老师,昨晚上看历史书来着,没睡好,站着,我睡不着。”全班一阵安静。老师笑了(历史老师):“什么?昨晚上看历史?嗯,不错,你坐下吧……”忽然反应过来,“你什么意思啊?看历史你就不站了啊?站着,没什么好说的!”下课后,我到了办公室里蹲下。老师回过头,看着成绩表说:“你是不是考得好嘛!看下你成绩嘛!比上次期末……”她拿着尺子从成绩表上划下来,划到我的名字上,愣了一下,清了清嗓子说:“我们先不说这个成绩的问题,我们先说一下你上课睡觉的问题……”我无语。

某天,英语老师上课的时候,写了个句子出来全班狂笑,我也跟着笑。老师问:“这个句子错在哪里?刘柏森,你来说下。”我笑不出来了。别说,我还真没看出来哪是错的,我站起来,盯着那个句子半天说:“不知道。”老师提醒道:“几个动词了都?”我数了数:“好象多了点,3个。”老师说:“这什么句子都不是,是按照主语从句搞出来的,主语从句我都多少年没用过了,我都是二昏二昏的,你们还敢用?”我又笑起来。老师白了我一眼:“还笑,就是你写的!”我一愣,我写的?老师又接着说:“这就是你写的,还高手呢,写的都是什么啊?”我看了看我的作文本,我写的是“。”于是我说:“那个不是我写的。”“反正也是半斤八两。”我再看了看:“没错,格式是正确的。”从此,就没人再把我当成英语高手了。

摸底考试完了之后,我下降了很多,原因我就不说了,班主任大人一看成绩,顿时火冒三丈,把我叫到办公室说:“怎么回事你?是不是想其他去了?手伸出来,我要好好教训你。”说罢,拿起那把教棍,对着我的手一通乱打,然后问:“记住好好学习没有?”“记住了。”“好了,你走吧。”我抬起头,刚要走出去,老师又把我叫住:“回来!”我问:“还有什么事?”老师说:“你还有什么没说的?”我想了想,没想出来,旁边一个蹲在地上的哥们说:“一看就是不怎么进办公室的,你忘了说‘谢谢老师’了。”我一听,赶紧说:“谢谢老师。”老师点点头:“嗯,去吧。”我的那个汗啊……

我现在正在期待究竟在初三下期还会有什么样的事情发生……

As we know, water is very important to man, we can’t live without water. The amount of water which is suitable to drink is less and less. But some people don’t care about it. They waste a lot of water in their daily life. Even worse, they pour dirty water into rivers. They throw rubbish into rivers, too. Many rivers and lakes are seriously polluted. Something must be done to stop the pollution. And I think it’s a great shame to waste while millions are in great need of water. I think what we can do is that we have to save every drop of water as possible as we can. For example, we must turn off the tap immediately after we use it. We can use a basin to wash our hands and faces. It’s also a good idea to encourage my friends and family members to join me! Only in this way can we live happily. If we don’t save water, the last drop of water will be a tear-drop of us. I believe if everyone makes a little effort, we can make a big difference。

Nowadays, more and more students fall in love in middle schools that

worries teachers and parents. As for me, I don’t agree to puppy love. No matter

admit it or not, puppy love will certainly have negative influence on study,

because it takes much time and energy. But the most important is that middle

school students are not mature enough to operate a relationship. The favorable

impression to others may be the momentary impulse that will not last very long

time. The middle school students are so young and unthoughtful to take the

responsibilities of love. What should they do is put their study in priority and

篇11:初中英语写作的基础

全文共 1540 字

+ 加入清单

下面是由小编收集的关于初中英语写作基础,欢迎阅读。

一、找到学生写作中存在的问题

1.汉语思维的影响。学生在写作中经常用汉语思维,忽略了英汉语序之间是有差别的,导致出现了大量的式英语,尽管洋洋洒洒一大篇,却没有得分点。

2.词或词组的用法及搭配出现错误。如enjoy,finish等单词后面只能接v-ing形式;“forget to do”和“forget doing”在意思上存在着显著的差异等。学生在做选择题或用所给词的适当形式填空时,大多数学生能做对,但在作文中,学生往往忽略了其用法,出现了不必要的错误。

3.时态、语态的构成及使用错误。例如,一般过去时的否定句中,助动词didn’t后的动词用原形,而完成时的句子中往往用动词的过去分词,在这方面,学生的拼写容易出现错误。

4.单词的拼写错误,标点使用不当,不注意大小写,遗漏冠词,介词的误用等。

5.结构松散。关联词的使用可使上下句和段落合理衔接,承上启下,使表达合乎逻辑,同时使文章结构严谨、紧凑,部分考生的作文虽然内容和语言还不错,但是由于过于执着于表格所给内容的顺序,没有进行灵活的处理,整篇文章看起来就象是句子翻译,并且句与句之间关系松懈,缺乏连接,以至于文章毫无流畅、优美之感。

二、如何培养学生英语写作能力

1.从单词入手。单词是英语学习的基础,单词过不了关,写作就无从谈起,因为单词是写作的基本单位。但是单词记忆又是学生学习英语的最薄弱环节,因此我们必须时刻告诫学生,单词的学习过程,实际上就是人与遗忘作斗争的过程,要长期坚持下去。 志和必胜的信心。

2.由“句式”到“段落”的训练阶段。从七年级开始就对学生进行书写小段落的训练,做到口笔同步。随着教学的不断深入,写作内容也不断丰富,八年级就要注意段落中的时态差异、句型变化以及过渡句的使用等。到了九年级就要注意文章的体裁、格式、写作方法、复句的正确性以及中外文化的差异性。

3.课前几分钟进行Free Talk。学生可以准备谜语、笑话、小故事、即兴演讲等。之后向听的学生进行提问,其他学生只有认真听才能回答出问题。Free Talk为学生提供了很好的实践机会。

4.在课堂上,我们要注重听说的训练,给学生提供大量的口语练习材料,从句子到对话,从对话到文章,以培养学生的语感。同时,加强写的训练,利用所学的句型大量翻译句子,使学生能够真正做到举一反三。此外,还要让学生在练习时注意区分英汉语序的不同。

5.要求学生多写多练。教师按照每个单元呈现的重点内容为学生规定文题或写作范围,指导学生写一些代表性的文章,并结合学生比较优秀的作文进行讲评,取其精华,去其糟粕,完成一篇优秀的范文。使学生在讲评的过程中领略这些文章的优缺点,教会学生如何自己修改作文,并将范文抄写在固定的作文本上,不断积累,并随知识的不断扩展对已写的文章根据需要不断进行修改或扩充,使其更加完美。

6.加强背诵。看了好文章,不单是理解就够了,还应该在理解的基础上多多背诵,才能达到融会贯通、据为已有的效果。英语宜多诵多背,把一些句型、短语,一些文章的片段或全篇,背得滚瓜烂熟,让这些材料在你的脑袋里扎根,当你要用的时候,它们便会而然地冒出来。背诵可以培养正确使用语言的习惯,增强语感,这样就可以避免生搬硬套地写一些式的。加强背诵能变难为易,变费力为省力,能有效地帮助学生提高写作能力。现在背诵和熟记一些语言材料,对中学生来说将会受用无穷。

7.通过缩写和改写课文,培养学生的概括能力。缩写课文会激励学生去认真钻研课文内容,有助于加深学生对课文的理解,提高学生归纳和进行简要表达的能力。缩写课文一般应该用自己的话来写,不能只停留在拼凑原文的词句上。这样既可以使学生熟练掌握英语表达方法,也是对知识进行再创造的一个过程。

Third, I have been standing at a fork mouth of life. Looking back, looking at the footprints of your own growth, it does mean something. Love is Xin Qijis "ugly girl", his first words as we age children from small to large portrait.

"The young do not sorrow taste". Childhood, from just remember to middle school, always feel carefree. Hungry, looking forward to dinner; thirsty, looking forward to drinking water; scared, looking forward to Mom coming; frightened, looking forward to Dads side. These, call it, or just show it with tears and cry, will be able to get satisfactory results. Childhood is so simple, and it is so real. A little bigger, become a teenager, looking forward to be praised by the teacher, looking forward to the applause of the students, looking forward to full marks. When I was praised, like psychological flow with honey; whenever there is out, it went to the jubilant mom and dad to show off a beam with joy. At that time, how simple and innocent.

Now, the childhood in my mind has become an eternal memory, the dream of the flower season is also like a distant landscape, childhood wind like, feel, but can not see, can not touch, there are countless ways of life before, I have to walk with heavy steps wandering. Just like the taste of sorrow now". So, what about the future? Is it to open up life or to enjoy life? Yue Feis sake, Gou hardships, let me dance, father chose the former; comfortable air conditioning, cola fun, crispy potato chips, the excitement of the game so I choose the latter. Both steady stand in the balance at both ends, not the severity of the conflict scale blocking my schedule. Secondary education in less than a year will end after nine years of baptism we have strong body, sucking countless knowledge in the motherland to defeat in the mighty wave crashing on a sandy shore,? No, can not, the process of growth is painful, "enjoy life" although intoxicating, but if our youth long drunk, do not laugh for people?

Therefore, in the face of growth, we must bravely overcome the idea of ease in mind, and open up a perfect life course.

步入初中,认识了许多同学和老师。我有很多个老师,每个老师各自的性格特点也不同,比如数学老师,喜欢执着;历史老师,和蔼可亲……

但是在这些老师中,我最喜欢英语老师。他有火一样蓬勃的头发,表示出他那活泼的性格;他有一张爱笑的脸,散露出他诙谐幽默的心态;深邃的眼睛略带蓝色,有一种不能不让人笑的感觉,整个描写出他活泼幽默的性格。

一次上课,英语老师一边上网查歌,一边叫我们读单词。过了一会儿,单词读完了歌也下完了。老师就打开歌词,打开千千静听放歌。老师说:“我们来唱首歌吧!叫Bingo!”说完,老师用手拿起指挥棒,走了下来,一边指挥着我们,一边唱歌。大家都非常感兴趣,尤其是唱到“B——i——n——g——o!”的时候,老师唱得非常大声,脸上洋溢着笑容,手摇来摇去,嘴巴成“O”形,身体倾斜着。我们看到这幅情景,笑得前仰后俯的。歌唱完了,老师不慌不忙地说:“现在我们来做一个小游戏吧!首先,先抄好25个单词,之后我再念单词,念到你写的那个单词你就画一下,当你连续画了五个并排单词时,你就喊‘Bingo’!有奖励加分的哦!懂不懂?”之后,我们兴致勃勃地抄好了单词,等待着老师来报。英语老师故意地清清嗓子,提醒我们快开始了,要做好准备。可是我们却被老师这个动作搞得哈哈大笑起来……

随着第一个单词的开始,大家都在认真地画单词。20秒钟过后,教室里突然响起一声“Bingo”,刚要下讲台的老师的脚步停在了半空中,眼睛瞪得大大的,吃惊地望着那位喊“Bingo”的同学,愣了几秒才说话:“哇,你也太幸运了吧,我才报了5个,你一下子就Bingo了,太牛了吧!加分!”之后一个个Bingo声响起了,可把英语老师围地团团转的。英语老师说:“怎么这么多呀!我都快忙不过来了!”“铃铃铃”下课了,我笑嘻嘻地对老师说:“老师,您这下可以轻松轻松了啊!”老师听了,哈哈地笑了。

哈哈,这就是我们幽默活泼的英语老师了,怎么样,羡慕不?

Dear teacher and classmates:

I am very glad to make a speech here in this class again! This time, Id like to talk something about English.

I love English. English language is now used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. Learning English makes me confident and brings me great pleasure.

When I was seven, my mother sent me to an English school. At there, I played games and sang English songs with other children . Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world.

Everyday, I read English following the tapes. Sometimes, I watch English cartoons.

On the weekend, I often go to the English corner. By talking with different people there, I have made more and more friends as well as improved my oral English.

I hope I can travel around the world someday. I want to go to America to visit Washington Monument, because the president Washington is my idol. Of course, I want to go to London too, because England is where English language developed. If I can ride my bike in Cambridge university, I will be very happy.

I hope I can speak English with everyone in the world. Ill introduce China to them, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and Anshan.

I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.

If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.

Last Qingming Festival,i return home to worship my grandfather.Qingming

Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor

Day". But Today, Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush

that has grown. Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set

out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a familys home

altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food. One theory

is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area, the less appealing

food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers.

With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the

honor past ancestors. Following folk religion, the Chinese believed that the

spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and

spirit money could keep them happy, and the family would prosper through good

harvests and more children.
