期末考试英语作文素材（汇总20篇）

“我这次英语考得不错!” 英语调研考试结束了，同学们小声议论着，大家看起来都很自信，我也有信心能考一百分。

这不由得让我想起黄老师经常对我们说的一句话：信心来自于实力，实力来自大家的努力。我们也是因为努力过，才有今天的自信啊!可我的心里却像打翻了的五味瓶有一种说不出的滋味。

记得考试前一天，我们上了将近一天的英语课，同学们认真地听老师讲着，认真地做着笔记。老师也很辛苦地为我们一题一题地讲解，为第二天的英语调研考试做准备，可我还会偶尔思想开小差，没有把考试放在眼里，可正是因为这次考试，使我知道了我应该好好地听讲。

考试当天，监考老师拿着一堆试卷走进我们教室。上课铃一响，就把试卷发下来了，同学们拿起笔，“唰唰唰……”地写了起来，我过五关斩六将，在前面听力部分做得很轻松，最后只有一道选择题实在想不起来，我的心像十五个吊桶打水——七上八下。我看了一下表，还有二十分钟呢?难道就白白浪费了吗?这道题两分呢，我可错不起，我一定要做出来!我又看了看题目，使劲回忆老师平时讲的内容，这时一个念头闪过了我的脑海，抄!我向老师看了看，老师正在低头找东西。这可是最好机会，可再想一想老师昨天为我们复习了一天，难道老师的辛苦换来的就只是抄吗?我不能这样，我静下心来，把答案一个一个地带进题目中试读，然后，终于得出了答案!对，选C。考试后，我又与同学对了一下，对了，我高兴得蹦跳了起来。

这次考试，让我明白了抄是我们不应该做的，我们要在平时下功夫，认真学习，好好听讲，因为成功就来自平时的努力。这是一次让我受益匪浅的考试。

马上就要期末考试了，同学们正埋头争分夺秒地苦读呢!平时刻苦练习就为这份试卷啊！

发卷子啦！同学们奋笔疾书，纸与笔摩擦的大调不愧为一首不错的奏鸣曲。我拿到试卷就把试卷从头到尾看了一遍，开始细细地做起来。呵！这些基础题太简单了，对我来说就是“小菜一碟，小事一桩”嘛！

到了作文难关，我把注意力全部转到这些语句上来了，恨不得把每一句话都嚼出水来。作文要求是些我学会了什么，我马上想到了向妈妈学习的本领—炒饭。于是把这件事情写了下来，把人物语言、动作刻画得生动有趣。停奏！要交卷了，我把试卷交了上去，心里的一块石头总是落地了。

可是，一波未平，又起一波。马上面临的就是困难的数学考试了，我告诉自己：不要紧张，相信自己一定能行的！

我的笔在试卷上“沙沙”作响。时间过得飞快，等我检查好试卷，只剩下最后三分钟了。我环顾四周，同学们有的长长地叹了口气，如释重负；有的眉头紧锁，显得无可奈何；有的将试卷翻了一遍，检查是否落题忘做……

紧张的考试终于结束了，我们都长长地舒了口气。至于结果如何，那并不重要，尽力了就好了。

Ancient Chinese New Years day, is not a general "Gregorian calendar" -- the Gregorian calendar on January 1. From Yin dynasty set as the beginning, at the beginning of the lunar December in first lunar month as the beginning, to the han dynasty have been repeated many times of change. To the republic of China, sun yat-sen in nanjing in early January 1912 as the temporary President for "farming", "statistics", set the first lunar month as the Spring Festival, change to the Gregorian calendar on January 1, known as the "New Year", at but it is still called "New Years day". Until the liberation of the central peoples government promulgated uniform "whole nation year section and the memorial day holiday", the Gregorian calendar January 1 as New Years day, and decided the national in this stanza day off. At the same time as the difference between two New Year the lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar, and in view of the lunar 24 solar terms of "spring", just before and after the lunar New Year, so the change of the first lunar month is called "Spring Festival".

"New Years day", "yuan" refers to the beginning, is the first point, the beginning of every number is called "yuan"; "Dan", pictographs, the above ", "on behalf of the sun, the" a "represents the horizon below. "Denier" as the sun rises from the horizon, symbolizes the beginning of a day. People put the "yuan" and "denier" two words together, is extended to the first day of the New Year began. New Years day is also called the "three yuan", namely, the yuan, the yuan, at the time of yuan. On New Years earliest begins with three sovereigns, tang fang xuanling and others write the Book of Jin upload: "xu emperor for Meng Chun in yuan, at that time is: New Years day in the spring." That call on the yuan, the first for the denier. Southern liang people LanZiYun dielectric jas poem or cloud: "the new New Years day, four gas Wan Shouchu today."

古代中国的元旦日，并非如今通用的“格列历”——公历的1月1日。从殷代定农历十二月初一为岁首，到汉代定在农历正月初一为岁首，曾有多次反反复复的改变。到民国时孙中山于1912年1月初在南京就任临时大总统时为“顺农时”、“便统计”，定农历正月初一为春节，改公历1月1日称为岁首“新年”，但仍称“元旦”。直到解放后中央人民政府颁布统一使用“全国年节和纪念日放假办法”，将公历1月1日规定为元旦节，并决定全国在此节放假一天。同时为区别农历和公历两个新年，又鉴于农历二十四个节气中的“立春”，恰在农历新年前后，因此改农历正月初一称为“春节”。

“元旦”的“元”，指开始，是第一的意思，凡数之始称为“元”;“旦”，象形字，上面的“日”代表太阳，下面的“一”代表地平线。“旦”即太阳从地平线上冉冉升起，象征一日的开始。人们把“元”和“旦”两个字结合起来，就引申为新年开始的第一天。元旦又称“三元”，即岁之元、月之元、时之元。元旦一词最早始于三皇五帝，唐房玄龄等人写的《晋书》上载:“颛帝以孟春正月为元，其时正朔元旦之春。”即把正月称为元，初一为旦。南朝梁人兰子云的《介雅》诗也云:“四气新元旦，万寿初今朝。”

尊敬的老师：

我怀着愧疚的心情,写下这份检查.以向您表示我的决心和悔改之意，只希望老师能够给我一个改正错误的机会。

以前我没有意识到自己的散漫和无知，上课总是不认真听讲 ,导致我考试没考好。

我认为，这次考试考不好还有两个大的原因。

一是学习不用功。这么说有些笼统，其实它可以分为很多小原因。也许您知道也许您不知道。前段时间不是因为月考成绩看得过去有所松懈，而是一直就不紧张：早读有一半的时间用来犯困，另一半时间中的效率也不高，有时还哼首歌什么的(由此决定以后少听歌)。上课时，尤其是数学和英语，一有听不懂的情况就犯困，越困越听不懂(最近课前开始仔细预习了，上课听懂了就不犯困了，这方面有了改善)。然后，我不知道什么时候有了个大毛病----发呆。这的确浪费了很多时间。只要一闲下来就发呆。所以，以后打算把日程排满，充实自己，改掉这个自杀式的烂毛玻还有，我有个不爱写作业的毛玻尤其是上了高中后作业多了起来。以后要勤快些。其实这也是学习态度的问题。

二是学习态度不端正。我常把自己定位为“厌恶学习的孩子”。其实这是消极的心理暗示。事实上我已经开始对许多的科目产生兴趣了。心理暗示也是蛮重要的。

现在我十分重视，并从内心上谴责自己，反省自己。要从自己身上找错误，查不足，深刻的反醒。

我知道，错了并不重要，重要的是在自己做错事的时候，能够正确的认识到自己的错误，并且知道如何改过自身，所以我在以后的日子里，会格外的严格要求自己。

现在我对自己的学习也有了新的要求。因为我发现我竟然有一点“为了现在玩的痛快不管以后”的征兆。所以，现在我要把这些所有不好的征兆都扼杀在摇篮里。

还有一点，就是要减少吃东西的时间``````.每天都要花半个小时左右的时间吃零食。而其他人都用这半小时学习了。

人总是不见棺材不落泪的。我已经看到了事态的严重性，不会再下滑了 只要我们都有很好的约束能力、自主学习能力，在没有任何借口，任何理由可以为讲话开脱!我们只有认认真真思考人生有那么多事要做，那么多的担子要挑，就没有理由考试不考好了.

我一定不会在同一地方摔倒。做事情，要有始有终,学习更是一样,不能够半途而废。

我现在已经深刻的认识到了自己的错误，找到了自己身上存在的不足。所以,我要感谢老师让我写了这份检查,让我更加深刻的认识到自己的错误, 希望老师能够再给我一次机会，我一定会好好努力，不再让老师及家长失望。请老师看我的实际行动吧，我会努力学习的。

检讨人：

xxxx年xx月xx日

“明天就要期末考试了，今天晚上要好好复习，争取明天人人都能拿高分！”

早上醒来，老师的话还在我的耳边回荡。今天期末考试！我打了个激灵，睡意全无，以闪电般的速度穿上衣服，冲下床，最后看了一遍复习资料，吃好早饭，去上学。

一进教室，已经来了不少同学了。有的在哗哗地翻着书和资料，仔细地复习；有的在乱跑乱跳，使自己不那么紧张；甚至有人双手合十，默念“上帝保佑我别考得太差！”

窗外，阳光柔和地打了下来，仍沾着雪的树枝在碧蓝如洗的天空中印出了一个个图案。“叮铃铃！”铃声响了，考试开始。先是语文。大家一听见老师说：“开始考了。”便以迅雷不及掩耳之势奋笔疾书。不时歪下脑袋，皱起眉头，思索着。冷风一阵又一阵地刮进来，但大家仿佛都感觉不到冷热了。教室里安静极了，只听见笔在试卷上写字时的沙沙声。“还有三十分钟。”“还有十五分钟。”“还有五分钟了。”“只剩下两分钟了。”我飞快地写着，手已成了一道道影子。终于，在还剩三十秒的时候，我点上了最后一个句号。我松了一口气。

下一场是数学。我们仔细地理解，认真地计算。写完了，又拿出稿纸验算。呀，有一题做错了！还好我检查了。我拍了拍胸口，暗自庆幸。

下课铃又响了。“耶，放假啦！出去玩咯！”大家欢呼雀跃，冲出了校园，一个学期结束了，欢笑声一直在校园上空回响。

星期二就要期末考试了，而今天是星期六，两天后，我讲坐在考场上答题，这可是证实我们一学期学习的一次重要考试，我身为学习班长，更要考个好成绩，做个榜样，所以这两天说是放假，其实对我来说还是在学校，写完作业后复习，把语数英课本和练习题全部温习一遍，争取做到完美。

期末考试，我不怕你，你来吧!我要迎着剑头顶上去，把剑顶断然后获得胜利!

另外这次期末考试的成绩也是我过年压岁钱的大小基础，如果好，钱会非常多，如果不好，不但不多，说不定还没有呢!所以我要拿出比平常高十倍的力量来应付这次考试!争取赢得最多的压岁钱!

数学老师和语文老师都说如果考上100分，我们就可以过一个轻松的寒假!傻子都会听出言外之意，当然是寒假没作业了!所以我一定要争取考满分!

让我们快乐的硬件诶期末考试吧!

In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy. while it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults. high should be allowed more time for play. plying is not wasting time, as some think. it gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination. which tends to be stifled by too much study.

Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. i do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. i do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.

尊敬的家长：

您们好!

非常感谢大家能在百忙之中抽出宝贵的时间来参加这次家长会。这是大家对我们译华小学工作的支持，对我们教师工作的支持与理解，对我们孩子的关心和尊重。也正因为有了你们的默默关怀与无私的帮助，我们才能够将自己全部的精力投入到教育教学活动中，努力为孩子们营造一份和谐、民主的新型学习氛围。我们力求通过各种方式使孩子于潜移默化之中尽快养成良好的行为习惯和高尚的道德品质。学校组织家长会，是为我们家长、孩子、老师、学校提供了一个开放的大课堂，让我们能畅所欲言，共同为搞好孩子的教育出谋划策，使我们孩子的未来充满希望!

作为班主任，这几个月和同学们朝夕相处，看着他们一天天的成长，我的心里真得很欣慰，下面我给大家说说这次家长会的流程：

1、围绕期末考试卷，谈一谈孩子的学习掌握情况; 2、下期语文的内容。

3、请大家将自己在教育孩子这项活动中成功的教育方法介绍给在座的各位;

4、教师与个别家长进行单独交谈。

一、下面我要和大家谈第一个方面试卷总结：(数学和英语分别由科任教师总结)。

语文100分的13人，95-99分的有12 人，90-94分的有2人，平均分98. 分。语文试卷分开卷和闭卷，闭卷是最基础的知识，开卷是很灵活的题，可以翻书。

二、平时，很多家长非常关心孩子的学习状态水平情况，为了使各位家长能在家中辅导好孩子，我来介绍一下一年级的教材。

语文：下期语文识字量提高了很多，两期合计共约800字，写话也要求写一段完整通顺的话。

1 课文每篇都要背过、要认识的字一定要认识并能口头组3个词(指给家长哪是要认识的字，哪是要会写得字，提醒家长如果孩子写汉字多，那么，一定要保证汉字笔顺正确的情况下才能写汉字。)会写的字注意笔顺，写字书上有。2 拼音扫读薄弱的学生家长还要注意多给孩子辅导一下韵母顺序、声母顺序、整体认读音节顺序、汉语拼音字母表，尤其是拼音不好的没有上过学前班的同学和上过的有很大差别，一定要在家多练，家长一定要多关注自己的孩子，关注多了孩子才有更多的成才机会。3 一年级写话要求是写通顺一句话，学会用标点符号。本期语文的教学都是在大纲要求的基础上提高了要求的。

三、工作的得失

我们学校与其它学校不同的是我们是寄宿制学校，因此除了学习还有生活、安全方面的问题。没有安全、没有健康的身体又何从谈学习，但是孩子是活跃的，有自己的思维，我们不能控制他们不奔跑、不打闹，不做危险的事、不活动等等。这学期在安全方面更多的是上课提醒他们，讲安全，下课盯着他们，尽量让他们的活动在我们的视线里。下课了提醒孩子们喝水上厕所守着他们怕摔着碰着，等到上课了孩子们进教室了，老师连喝口水的时间都没有了要继续上课，没课时又得认真思考怎使课上得有滋有味，准备教具。晚上下晚自己，孩子们走了我们还要打扫卫生(孩子做得不彻底)，有的时候会对孩子比较严格，请家长理解，毕竟我们只有一个目的，就是让孩子培养好各方面的好习惯，一切为了咱们的孩子。

可是孩子们都是家里的小皇帝，都有唯我独尊的心理，因此会因为玩一小玩具等而挣抢。有次星期五的下午刘云山和田忠祥因为抢座位，刘云山直接用铅笔去戳田忠祥的头，当时就出血了，说实话任何父母看见自己的孩子受伤都很生气，可祥儿妈妈并没有训诉刘云山，而是问了他们原因后和山儿讲道理，做为教师非常感谢祥儿妈妈如此的宽容。对于孩子的打闹、争抢，对于安全我们是防不胜防，下期我将设计并开展一系列的安全常识教育活动，加深孩子的安全意识和自我保护能力，同时这方面也请诸位家长多教育。

生活方面： 罗老师带我们班已3年了，对每个孩子的情况了如指掌，而且她也非常有经验;赵老师是初次接手这工作，刚开始的两月有工作不到位的地方，后面慢慢地在改进自己的工作，这还得感谢家长的信息反馈。孩子的生病是我们老师和家长最不愿看到的事，学校将孩子的生病情况也纳入了对生活老师的考核，可见无论是学校领导、老师都希望孩子健康。因此，请家长与老师多沟通，每周交接时多交流，将孩子的身体情况及时做到互知。

三、请家委会成员发言：向瑞琳家长结合自己的教育孩子的经验与大家座谈(由于瑞琳爸爸去教育局开会故未能发言)

四、学生寒假里的作业安排。

作为一年级教师，一方面我们传授知识，另一方面我们还关注孩子做人，帮助他们养成良好的行为习惯，孩子成长，贵在起步。

总之，老师和家长的心情是一样的，我们有着共同的出发点，共同的愿望，那就是一切为了孩子……相信，有各位家长和我们老师的共同努力，每个学生都会在译华小学健康快乐地成长的。

临近新年了，在此代表学校领导和全班老师预祝大家：新年快乐!心想事成!财源广进!合家欢乐!

光阴似箭，这一学期的期末考试终于考完了，我的学习“旅程”就是这四种滋味，啥呀?“酸、甜、苦、辣”呗!

甜

期末考试考完了，大家必然开心喽。终于可以彻底地放松一下了!不要每天清晨爬起来复习，不要每天废寝忘食地复习，不要再做一大堆模拟卷，更不用天天晚上为考试的事而睡不着，总而言之，考试考完了，我要自由!我要放松!

辣

期末考试考完了，必然是一件好事，为什么说它是辣呢?朋友，也是你不懂了，什么叫前因后果。因，考试考完了，可是分数总会公布吧!正因为“分数”这个因。果，很可能就是你的老爸老妈“热情”地请你吃“竹笋烤肉”呢!

苦

苦是中药的味道。“哎呦”这个词一让我听到就会浑身起鸡皮疙瘩，苦只能形容我们的“苦难生活”。就拿我来说吧!每天清晨5点钟起床，吃完早饭，就背单词，复习，做练习。瞧!我还有，妈妈给我买来的高分拔尖，单元模拟卷……都等着我做呢!唉!现在哪个家长不望子成龙，望女成凤。可是我恨不得把它们全都扔进垃圾桶里，但是良药苦口利于病，说不定这些烦家伙会改变我的“命运”呢!

酸

“Oh!我的天哪!”一拿到试卷，这句话总会从大家的口里蹦出来，那道题不应该错，那道题是粗心大意。这还算是轻的，而有的同学却含有眼泪委屈地哭了。这也难怪，考不到好分数就算了，可是想起老爸老妈那副“热情”的样子，他们当然忍不住crying了!此时此刻，就算有一百个大禹，也“治”不住这场“波涛汹涌”的泪水喽!

“酸、甜、苦、辣”这四种滋味就像四种调料一样撒在了期末考试这盘菜里，混在一块儿，而不知什么滋味，每个人都有自己的独特滋味，你的滋味如何呢?

In,Dumbledore said to

Harry,Youth,live with more fun.Youth,a large amount of wealth.Youth days,spend

with friends,spend with joys.

Youth,some spend it,some treasure it,but I show respect to it.Not too much

fun with youth for me, niether do i feel happy or sad.I am just puzzled.Where a

youth can create a great many things?Or just go down,falling into the vally of

disapponitment?Finally,I find it just a fun for being a youth.Dont think too

many things about the past childhood,or the coming unknown life.Just for you,for

me,enjoy the fun in our youth,then be a tough man step-by-step go.

当我看到数学成绩时，我哭了，透过泪水我看到了老师和父母对我的失望和惋惜!

这次的数学成绩太令我失望了，因为错的非常可惜。一道应用题，在4000米长的路两旁栽树，每隔100米栽一棵，两端都要栽，问一共能栽多少棵?我算式列对了，可惜把4000抄成了400，检查时竟也没检查出来，因此，那宝贵的5分就跟我说“拜拜”了。最后一题是画折线统计图，图我画对了，可画完后，我却放松了，描点的时候，我竟然把85描在了75上，虽说下面的都描对了，可一分也没给我。都是粗心惹得祸，看着卷子上那鲜红而又刺眼的红叉叉，我心里像打翻了五味瓶，说不出是什么味了。

我流着泪，垂头丧气地趴在桌子上，其实妈妈也很失望，可是为了不让我气馁，妈妈却又安慰我，鼓励我：“这只是人生中的一次小测验而已，你要学会输得起，考得不好没关系，只要你能从中找到错误并吸取教训，你就是最棒的。考试已经过去了，要把所有的成绩都归零。不要因为语文、英语考得好而骄傲，也不要因为数学没考好就气馁。我们现在要做的就是要从失败的地方站起来，为以后的学习打好基础，时刻对自己充满信心，宝贝，妈妈相信你!”

听了妈妈这番话，我的眼前顿时一片光亮，我内心的阴暗被驱逐走了。我又重新拾回了信心，对呀!哭不是目的，怎样克服粗心大意才是最重要的。妈妈经常看《哈佛女孩刘亦婷》，她笑着对我说：“刘亦婷的妈妈说开朗活泼的孩子大多都有粗心的毛病，粗心不是学习态度的问题，而是学习能力的问题，既然能力不足就要采取相应的措施来防治。我说呀，开朗活泼没有错，错的是粗心。咱们今天就按照她们的方法来制定专项训练计划。”我当然是迫不及待了，真想把这粗心一拳打走。变“粗心”为“细心”具体方法：

一、提高细心度的方法——抄电话号码。找一个通讯录，在一分钟内抄写电话号码，做到“左手指、右手抄”，尽量做到抄得又快又不出错。连续对三次以上结束当天的训练，如果错了就要训练十分钟。

二、计算快又准的方法——扑克牌速算。去掉牌里的大小王和J、Q、K，然后把牌洗乱，再掐着秒表一张张地迅速累加牌上的数字，直到熟练无比。这个方法我以前用过，可都没坚持下来，这次我一定要坚持下来。

三、写得快又好的方法——抄写阿拉伯数字。在一分钟内尽可能快而又准确地抄写阿拉伯数字，具体方法同一。

成长的路上有曲折和险峻，有人失败有人成功。良好的计划是成功的一半，妈妈的鼓励是我前行的动力。努力+好的学习方法=成功 总有一天，我一定会超越自我……

期末考试，容不得我们有一丝迟疑、放松。期末考试，容不得我们有片刻停滞，期末考试，容不得我们有半点闪失差错!期末考试，我们必须胜利，不能在那里徘徊不定。面对期末考试，你，准备好了么?

如果你想赢得这场战争的胜利。那么，你就要做好充分的准备。考场如战场，要取得胜利，就要讲求战略战术，不能死学。

第一步，我们要做好考试前的复习：要制定一个详细合理的复习计划，要事先做好准备。期末复习是期末考试取得好成绩的最有效的保证，应该高度重视，不能马虎应付。增强复习的计划性，要坚持去执行，每天对计划完成情况进行简单的检查分析，落实复习计划，确保复习的质量。

接着我们要讲究复习方法，提高复习效率：

让基础知识更加扎实，要落实基本技能。在自己主动复习时，要注意回归教材，精读课本，扎实掌握基础知识和基本技能。安排一部分课余的时间对各科基础知识进行主动复习，内容一项一项地整理、归纳，真正搞清楚，弄明白。在复习过程中，要充分发挥自己的学习主动性，自己找规律、抓特点，对所学知识进行归纳和总结，使之条理化和系统化，内化成自己的知识;对于自己不会的知识点要主动向老师或同学请教，不要放过每一个疑点，不遗漏每一个重点，不忽视每一个考点。

强化能力训练，主动查漏补缺。在复习基础知识和落实基本技能的基础上，再加强能力测试题型的解题思路和解题技巧的训练，对能力测试题型存在的缺漏进行补强，弄清“会了什么?”“还有什么不会?”，发现疑难薄弱，采取同题练习，重点突破，提高综合解题能力，以求尽善尽美。查漏补缺可以看错题集，温故知新，避免一错再错。期末复习时将自己平时归纳整理的错题集和以往的考试卷拿出来看一看，研究曾经出现的问题，了解出错的症结，以免重蹈覆辙。实践证明，考前看错题集，是一种非常便捷有效的复习方法。

考场就是战场，两强相遇勇者胜。冲刺的号角已经吹响，行动起来吧!以往辛苦将让你生活的更充实;冲刺的劳累将增添你生活的勇气;未来的成功将使你从平凡走向伟大。同学们，努力吧!是船，就要搏击风浪;是桨，就要奋勇向前;是雄鹰，就要一飞冲天!

面对期末考试，我，准备好了!

期末考试真够吓人的，如果考不好就过不好年，如果考好了就会得到家里人鼓励和奖励，所以你看考好和考不好的区别有多大吧!在没考试之前有的人会尽心尽力的复习，可是有的人在简略复习，那大家说谁会考的好，谁会考的不好呢?答案很明确是尽心尽力的人考的好(除非那个简略的人是神童)。

这次我觉的我小科历史和生物没大有把握。我历史没把握的原因是我没复习到地方，历史考了好多材料题，我复习的大多是江南地区的开发和南朝，北朝，北魏还有三国鼎立。所以没太多把握。而生物是每次都复习，我认为都复习挺好的了，但是每次都考的不好，所以我对生物没太大把握。

主课没法确定，但据我所知数学错了2道题，一个填空题，一个应用题。填空题是我会算，但是算出来的数是七点多，将近八，我脑子一热觉得写七好一点，结果错了。应用题是最后那个平均分的，我一直想怎么做，到快收卷子的时候，我想出了一个方法，于是我就算，第一次算错了，我又想重新算一遍，结果我没算完就收卷了，在吹哨的时候我就随便写了两个数，结果错了。

语文不好说，英语是听力错了一些，其余的我就不知道是对是错了。听力的第一个我就没听清，还有一篇短文中的一个题听了两遍都没听出来，还有一个是lastname和firstname搞混了，后来才想起来，又改过来的。

这次考政治很怪，因为是放一段视频，让我们写看完视频的感受，书上的内容一点也没考。考完之后，大家都说还买政治书干嘛呀?还不如买两根棒棒糖呢!不过说是这样说，如果不买政治书上课还学啥呀?

希望我这次考个好成绩，过个好年，同时也祝大家2012天天开心，过个好年，新的一年走出更辉煌更新的路。

The purpose of education is to transmit democratic values, create equality of opportunity, and prepare new generation of citizens in society.

Everyone should be taught life skills as analysis, logical thinking, synthesis, and creative problem solving rather than just knowledge which are more important for people to survive freely in the complex and rapid change.

We should want all students to know and to make their own: honesty, fairness, fidelity to task, friends, and family, personal responsibility, love their country, and belief in the principles of liberty, equality and the freedom to practice one s faith.

To study history and classics is to teach students the ability to synthesize and relate, to weigh cause and effect, to see events in perspective

Liberal art teaches you how to think, write, and speak intelligently, get along with others, and conceptualize problems.

Students are being so stuffed indigestible mass of material that they have no time to draw on his own resources, to use their own minds for analyzing and synthesizing and evaluating this material

[GRE考试作文素材

“下午第一节课全年级英语抽测！”一大早，英语老师就来到教室告诉了我们这个重大消息。

“啊，又来考啊！”我们班马上就沸腾了，突击检查是老师的常用伎俩，但这么大的考试还是第一次。俗话说得好，“考考考，老师的法宝；分分分，学生的命根。”我们怎能不紧张呢？所以只好抓紧时间复习。由于是教育局抽测，所以肯定会很难。

眨眼间就到了下午，抽测开始了。果不其然，题目难得不得了，光是听力，就有了三道题不确定。第一大题的第4小题，我本来选的是“A”live，可是一会儿后，我觉得不对，便改成了“C”like。还有一道题是“foot”和“food”，我最后选择了“A”foot。还有别的题……天啊，这也太难了！此时的我，只好蒙几题了。唉，这题到底是什么答案呀？我怎么感觉不对呢？到了后面，题目简单了一点，我就披荆斩棘写完了试卷。抽测结束，试卷被收了上去，我心中仿佛有十块大石头悬在上空。

第二天，成绩下来了。我考了99分，错的那一分就是那道改过的听力题，答案是A，而我居然把对的A改成了C，就这样与满分擦肩而过了。但幸运的是，英语我还是再次考了全年级第一。我心头的那块大石头终于落地了。

虽然这次英语考试很突然，我也取得了不错的成绩。但我真的不喜欢这样的抽测啊！

转眼间，四年级上学期就过完了，我们又迎来了期末考试，我再一次怀着一颗忐忑不安的心走进校园。

考试开始了，我时刻提醒着自己：数学要验算，英语要检查……我以最认真的态度去对待每一道题，好像做不对就会死似的，时间一分一秒地过去，我的问题也显现出来了，我检查时一道题也没查出来！我便开始疯狂验算，把每一道题都验了一遍，终于，一条漏网之鱼被我发现了，我便飞快地把它改正了过来，这一改，竟然使我免受写完口算本的苦！不知过了多久，考试结束了！结果……，结果非常令我满意，数学和英语我考了双百分！当老师来我家家访将成绩告诉我时，我简直不能相信自己的耳朵！还有，这次考试有三件很幸运的事：一是我以0。5分的优势成功成为全班总分第7名，而且将“土巴杜”挤出了前十名。二是语文成绩以1分优势打败了我的竞争对手“FISH”！三是语文成绩高于平均分0。7分，也不用做寒假作业语基题！

哈！功夫不负有心人，汗水不会欺骗我们，我这次考试赚大了！不是吗？

美文欣赏:你可以选择自己想过的生活

Occasionally, life can be undeniably, impossibly difficult. We are faced with challenges and events that can seem overwhelming, life-destroying to the point where it may be hard to decide whether to keep going. But you always have a choice. Jessica Heslop shares her powerful, inspiring journey from the worst times in her life to the new life she has created for herself:

生活有时候困难得难以置信，但又不容置疑。我们面临的挑战与困境似乎无法抵御，试图毁灭我们生活，甚至使你犹疑是否继续走下去。但是你总有选择的余地。从人生低谷走向新生活的杰西卡·赫斯乐普，在这里与我们分享她启迪心灵、充满震撼力的生活之旅。

In 2012 I had the worst year of my life.

2012年是我生活中最艰难的一年。

I worked in a finance job that I hated and I lived in a concrete jungle city with little greenery. I occupied my time with meaningless relationships and spent copious quantities of money on superficialities. I was searching for happiness and had no idea where to find it.

我做着讨厌的财务工作，住在难寻绿色的高楼林立的城市。我忙于无意义的交往，在一些肤浅表面的东西上大笔开销。我寻找快乐，却又不知道它在哪里。

Then I fell ill with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and became virtually bed bound. I had to quit my job and subsequently was left with no income. I lived with my boyfriend of then only 3 months who financially supported me and our relationship was put under great pressure. I eventually regained my physical health, but not long after that I got a call from my family at home to say that my father’s cancer had fiercely progressed and that he had been admitted to a hospice.

然后我患上了慢性疲劳综合症，几乎到了卧床不起的地步。我不得不辞掉工作，同时也就断了财源。我和那时仅相处了3个月的男友住在一起，经济上完全依赖于他，我们的关系承受着巨大压力。终于我恢复健康，但不久，我接到家里的电话，父亲的癌症急剧恶化，已经住进了临终关怀中心。

I left the city and I went home to be with him.

我离开了城市，回家陪父亲。

He died 6 months later.

6个月之后，他去世了。

My father was a complete inspiration to me. He was always so strong that, for a minute after he drew his last breath, I honestly thought he would come back to life. I couldn’t believe I would never again cuddle into his big warm chest and feel safe no matter what.

父亲的事让我彻底清醒。他一直很强壮，在他咽气之后一分钟里，我真的认为，他会活过来。我不能相信，我再也不能依偎在他温暖的怀抱里，享受他宽大的胸怀带给我的安全感。

The grief that followed was intense for all of us 5 children and our mother, but we had each other.

母亲和我们5个兄弟姐妹极为难过，但至少我们还拥有彼此。

But my oldest sister at that time complained of a bad back. It got so bad after 2 months that she too was admitted to hospital.

但是，那时我大姐开始抱怨着背痛，2个月后，因疼痛加剧也住进了医院。

They discovered that she had highly advanced cancer in her bones and that there was nothing that they could do.

医生们检查发现，她已是骨癌晚期，对此他们已无能为力。

She died 1 month later.

1个月之后，她也走了。

I could never put into words the loss of my sister in my life.

大姐的逝去让我陷入难以形容的痛苦之中。

She was a walking, talking angel and my favourite person in the whole world. If someone could have asked me the worst thing that could ever happen, it would have been losing her.

在这个世界上，她是一个能走路、会说话的天使，我最喜欢的人。如果有人问我，世界上发生的最坏的事情是什么，那就是失去她。

She was my soul-mate and I never thought I would journey this lifetime without her.

她是我的灵魂伴侣，我从来没有想过，我会走过没有她陪伴的生命旅程。

The Moment Of Deliberate Choice

抉择时刻

The shock and extreme heart break brought me to my knees. The pain was so great and my world just looked desolate. I had no real home, no money, no job, and no friends that cared. Not one person had even sent me a sympathy card for my loss.

我被打击和极度的心痛击挎了。强烈的痛苦使世界在我眼中变得如此凄凉。我没有真正意义上的家，没有钱，没有工作，也没有关心我的朋友。没有一个人因我失去亲人而寄给我慰问卡。

I made an attempt of my own life and I ended up in hospital.

我尝试着活下去，结果住进了医院。

I remember lying in the hospital bed, looking up at the ceiling and seeing my sister’s beautiful face. She stayed with me all night long.

我记得，躺在病床上，看着天花板，看到姐姐美丽的面庞。她整夜守候着我。

I realised during that night that I had a choice. I could choose to end my life or I could choose to live it.

那天晚上，我意识到我可以选择。要么结束生命，要么活下去。

I looked in my sister’s eyes and I made a decision not to go with her just yet. That I would stay and complete my journey here.

望着姐姐的眼睛，我决定不跟她走。我要留下来，走完我的生命旅程。

I also made the decision that, I wouldn’t just live any life. I would live the life that I absolutely LOVE and nothing less.

同时，我还决定，不只为生活而生活，我要完全以自己想要的方式生活。

In that moment, the clarity that descended around me was like a light shining in a dark room for the first time. As if the earth’s plates had shifted under my feet and everything suddenly looked real for the first time.

在那一刻，这一想法第一次清晰得如同一盏在黑暗闪烁的明灯。好像脚下的地球版块变换了，每一样东西在我眼前都真实得前所未有。

美文赏析:打开心门拥抱生活

We often close ourselves off when traumatic events happen in our lives; instead of letting the world soften us, we let it drive us deeper into ourselves. We try to deflect the hurt and pain by pretending it doesn’t exist, but although we can try this all we want, in the end, we can’t hide from ourselves. We need to learn to open our hearts to the potentials of life and let the world soften us.

生活发生不幸时，我们常常会关上心门；世界不仅没能慰藉我们，反倒使我们更加消沉。我们假装一切仿佛都不曾发生，以此试图忘却伤痛，可就算隐藏得再好，最终也还是骗不了自己。既然如此，何不尝试打开心门，拥抱生活中的各种可能，让世界感化我们呢？

Whenever we start to let our fears and seriousness get the best of us, we should take a step back and re-evaluate our behavior. The items listed below are six ways you can open your heart more fully and completely.

当恐惧与焦虑来袭时，我们应该退后一步，重新反思自己的言行。下面六个方法有助于你更完满透彻地敞开心扉。

1. Breathe into pain

直面痛苦

Whenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to embrace it instead of running away or trying to mask the hurt. When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and lean into it. When we run away from sadness that’s unfolding in our lives, it gets stronger and more real. We take an emotion that’s fleeting and make it a solid event, instead of something that passes through us.

当生活中出现痛苦的事情时，别再逃跑或隐藏痛苦，试着拥抱它吧；当悲伤来袭时，试着深呼吸，然后直面它。如果我们一味逃避生活中的悲伤，悲伤只会变得更强烈更真实——悲伤原本只是稍纵即逝的情绪，我们却固执地耿耿于怀。

By utilizing our breath we soften our experiences. If we dam them up, our lives will stagnate, but when we keep them flowing, we allow more newness and greater experiences to blossom.

深呼吸能减缓我们的感受。屏住呼吸，生活停滞；呼出呼吸，更多新奇与经历又将拉开序幕。

2. Embrace the uncomfortable

拥抱不安

We all know what that twinge of anxiety feels like. We know how fear feels in our bodies: the tension in our necks, the tightness in our stomachs, etc. We can practice leaning into these feelings of discomfort and let them show us where we need to go.

我们都经历过焦灼的煎熬感，也都感受过恐惧造成的生理反应：脖子僵硬、胃酸翻腾。其实，我们有能力面对这些痛苦的感受，从中领悟到出路。

The initial impulse is to run away — to try and suppress these feelings by not acknowledging them. When we do this, we close ourselves off to the parts of our lives that we need to experience most. The next time you have this feeling of being truly uncomfortable, do yourself a favor and lean into the feeling. Act in spite of the fear.

我们的第一反应总是逃避——以为否认不安情绪的存在就能万事大吉，可这也恰好妨碍了我们经历最需要的生活体验。下次感到不安时，不管有多害怕，也请试着勇敢面对吧。

3. Ask your heart what it wants

倾听内心

We’re often confused at the next step to take, making pros and cons lists until our eyes bleed and our brains are sore. Instead of always taking this approach, what if we engaged a new part of ourselves that isn’t usually involved in the decision making process?

我们常对未来犹疑不定，反复考虑利弊直到身心俱疲。与其一味顾虑重重，不如从局外人的角度看待决策之事。

I know we’ve all felt decisions or actions that we had to take simply due to our “gut” impulses: when asked, we can’t explain the reasons behind doing so — just a deep knowing that it had to get done. This instinct is the part of ourselves we’re approaching for answers.

其实很多决定或行动都是我们一念之间的结果：要是追问原因的话，恐怕我们自己也道不清说不明，只是感到直觉如此罢了。而这种直觉恰好是我们探索结果的潜在自我。

To start this process, take few deep breaths then ask, “Heart, what decision should I make here? What action feels the most right?”

开始前先做几次深呼吸，问自己：“内心认为该做什么样的决定呢？觉得采取哪个方案最恰当？”

See what comes up, then engage and evaluate the outcome.

看看自己的内心反应如何，然后全力以赴、静待结果吧。

美文赏析:生活中你错过了什么？

In this life, what did you miss?

在生活中，你错过了什么？

The wife asked the husband when she was 25. Despondently, the husband replied: I missed a new job opportunity.

妻子25岁的时候这样问丈夫。丈夫沮丧地回答：“我错过了一个新的工作机会。”

When she was 35, the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus.

35岁时，丈夫生气地说他错过了公交车。

At 45, the husband sadly said: I missed the oppotunity seeing my closed relative before his last breath.

45岁时，丈夫悲伤地说：“我错过了见至亲最后一面的机会。”

At 55, the husband said disappointingly: I missed a good chance to retire.

55岁时，丈夫失望地说：“我错过了一个退休的好机会。”

At 65, the husband hurriedly replied: I missed a dental appointment.

65岁时，丈夫匆匆地回答：“我错过了和牙医的预约。”

At 75, the wife did not ask the husband anymore, the husband was kneeling in front of the very sick wife. Remembering the question the wife used to ask him, this time he asked the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied: In this life, I did not miss having you!

75岁，妻子不再问丈夫同样的问题，丈夫跪在病重的妻子面前，想起以前妻子常常问起的那个问题，这次他也问了妻子同样的问题，妻子笑了笑，一脸平静地说：“我这一生，没有错过你！”

The husband was full of tears. He always thought that they could be together forever. He was always busy with work and trifles. So much so he had never been thoughtful to his wife. The husband hugged the wife tightly and said: Over 50 years, how I had allowed myself to miss your deep love for me.

丈夫满眼泪水，他总是认为可以和妻子白头到老，于是总是忙于工作和琐事，从没在意过妻子。他紧紧地抱住妻子说：“这50多年来，我怎么能允许自己错过了你对我的爱呢。”

In the busy city life, there are many people who are always busy with work. These people revolve their lives around their jobs, these people sacrifice all their times and health to meet the social expectations. They are unwilling to spend times on health care. They miss the opportunity to be with their children in their growing up. They neglect the loved ones who care for them, and also their health.

在繁忙的城市生活中，有人总是忙于工作。他们整天围着工作转，甚至为了达到社会的标准，牺牲了自己的健康。他们不愿花时间来关注自己的健康，在孩子成长的过程中错失了与之共享天伦之乐的机会。他们忽视了那些关心他们的人，以及他们的健康。

Nobody knows what is going to happen one year from now.

没有人知道一年后会发生什么事情。

Life is not permanent, so always live in the now. Express your gratitude to your loved ones in words. Show your care with actions. Treat everyday as the last episode of life. In this way, when you are gone, you loved ones would have nothing to feel sorry about.

生命不是永恒的，所以活在当下吧。把你对爱人的感谢说出来，用行动证明你关心他们。把每一天当作人生的最后一个篇章，只有这样，当你离开时，你爱的人们才会没有遗憾。

美文赏析:去经历去体验 做最好最真实的自己

Truly happy and successful people get that way by becoming the best, most genuine version of themselves they can be. Not on the outside--on the inside. Its not about a brand, a reputation, a persona. Its about reality. Who you really are.

真正快乐成功的人会长成最好最真实的自己——从内心而非外表上。重要的不是品牌、名誉或者外表形象，而是真实的自我。

Sounds simple, I know. It is a simple concept. The problem is, its very hard to do, it takes a lot of work, and it can take a lifetime to figure it out.

道理很简单，讲出来也很容易。但问题是，做起来就不简单了：这需要付诸很多努力，甚或一辈子才能实现。

Nothing worth doing in life is ever easy. If you want to do great work, its going to take a lot of hard work to do it. And youre going to have to break out of your comfort zone and take some chances that will scare the crap out of you.

需要穷尽毕生精力的事情必定不容易。成大事者必先苦其心志。因此，你必须走出舒适区，去经历、去体验那些会让你害怕的机会。

But you know, I cant think of a better way to spend your life. I mean, whats life for if not finding yourself and trying to become the best, most genuine version of you that you can be?

况且，人这一辈子，若到头来都认不清自己、未能长成最好最真实的自己，还有什么意义呢？

Thats what Steve Jobs meant when he said this at a Stanford University commencement speech:

正如史蒂夫-乔布斯在斯坦福大学的毕业典礼上所言：

Your time is limited, so dont waste it living someone elses life. Dont let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice.

时间宝贵，不要虚掷光阴过着他人的生活。不要让周遭的聒噪言论蒙蔽你内心的声音。

You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

你要相信，生活中的偶然冥冥中也能指引未来。你要心怀信念——相信你的直觉、命运、生活抑或因缘。这个方法一直给我力量，促使我过得卓然不同。

The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you havent found it yet, keep looking. Dont settle.

成大事的唯一途径就是做自己喜欢的事情。若你还没找到，那就继续追寻吧，不要停下来。

Now, lets for a moment be realistic about this. Insightful as that advice may be, it sounds a little too amorphous and challenging to resonate with todays quick-fix culture. These days, if you cant tell people exactly what to do and how to do it, it falls on deaf ears.

现在我们来实际一点：建议或许很深刻，但听完却让人无从着手，难以运用到当今的快节奏文化中。现如今，如果一个建议讲不清具体做什么、该怎么做的话，那么说了也等于白说。

Not only that, but what Jobs was talking about, what Im talking about, requires focus and discipline, two things that are very hard to come by these days. Why? Because, focus and discipline are hard. Its so much easier to give in to distraction and instant gratification. Easy and addictive.

不仅如此，乔布斯的讲话和我要说的话都需要集中和自制——这两个品质在当今社会非常难能可贵。何以见得？因为集中和自制都不容易做到。人们很容易分散注意力、寻求即时快 感——舒服且容易上瘾。

To give you a little incentive to take on the challenge, to embark on the road to self-discovery, here are three huge benefits from working to become the best, most genuine version of yourself.

为激励你迎接挑战、踏上寻求自我的旅途，我列出了成为最好最真实自己后的三大益处：

It will make you happy. Getting to know yourself will make you feel more comfortable in your own skin. It will reduce your stress and anxiety. It will make you a better spouse, a better parent, a better friend. It will make you a better person. Those are all pretty good reasons, if you ask me.

你会感到快乐。了解自己后会让你更愉悦地接受自己，减轻你的压力和焦虑，使你成为更好的伴侣、父母、朋友，让你成为一个更美好的人。这些益处难道不够说服你为之努力吗？

Besides, you really wont achieve anything significant in life until you know the real you. Not your brand, your LinkedIn profile, how you come across, or what anyone thinks of you. The genuine you. Theres one simple reason why you shouldnt try to be something youre not, and its that you cant. The real you will come out anyway. So forget your personal brand and start spending time on figuring out who you really are and trying to become the best version of that you can be.

而且，只有了解真实的自己方能成就大事。你需要了解那个真实的你，而不是你的品牌、名誉、LinkedlIn资料、你的过去抑或他人对你的看法。为什么你不应该过他人的生活？很简单，因为首先你不是“其他人”，你的本性总有一天会现形。所以，请放开你的品牌形象，努力发掘真实自我、努力把自己经营成最好的自己吧。

美文赏析:爱情不是商品

Love Is Not Like Merchandise

爱情不是商品

A reader in Florida, apparently bruised by some personal experience, writes in to complain, "If I steal a nickels worth of merchandise, I am a thief and punished; but if I steal the love of anothers wife, I am free."

佛罗里达州的一位读者显然是在个人经历上受过创伤, 他写信来抱怨道: “如果我偷走了五分钱的商品, 我就是个贼, 要受到惩罚, 但是如果我偷走了他人 妻子的爱情, 我没事儿。”

This is a prevalent misconception in many peoples minds---that love, like merchandise, can be "stolen". Numerous states, in fact, have enacted laws allowing damages for "alienation of affections".

这是许多人心目中普遍存在的一种错误观念——爱情, 像商品一样, 可以 “偷走”。实际上，许多州都颁布法令，允许索取“情感转让”赔偿金。

But love is not a commodity; the real thing cannot be bought, sold, traded or stolen. It is an act of the will, a turning of the emotions, a change in the climate of the personality.

但是爱情并不是商品；真情实意不可能买到，卖掉，交换，或者偷走。爱情是志愿的行动，是感情的转向，是个性发挥上的变化。

When a husband or wife is "stolen" by another person, that husband or wife was already ripe for the stealing, was already predisposed toward a new partner. The "love bandit" was only taking what was waiting to be taken, what wanted to be taken.

当丈夫或妻子被另一个人“偷走”时，那个丈夫或妻子就已经具备了被偷走的条件，事先已经准备接受新的伴侣了。这位“爱匪”不过是取走等人取走、盼人取走的东西。

We tend to treat persons like goods. We even speak of the children "belonging" to their parents. But nobody "belongs" to anyone else. Each person belongs to himself, and to God. Children are entrusted to their parents, and if their parents do not treat them properly, the state has a right to remove them from their parents trusteeship.

我们往往待人如物。我们甚至说孩子“属于”父母。但是谁也不“属于”谁。人都属于自己和上帝。孩子是托付给父母的，如果父母不善待他们，州政府就有权取消父母对他们的托管身份。

Most of us, when young, had the experience of a sweetheart being taken from us by somebody more attractive and more appealing. At the time, we may have resented this intruder---but as we grew older, we recognized that the sweetheart had never been ours to begin with. It was not the intruder that "caused" the break, but the lack of a real relationship.

我们多数人年轻时都有过恋人被某个更有诱惑力、更有吸引力的人夺去的经历。在当时，我们兴许怨恨这位不速之客---但是后来长大了，也就认识到了心上人本来就不属于我们。并不是不速之客“导致了”决裂，而是缺乏真实的关系。

On the surface, many marriages seem to break up because of a "third party". This is, however, a psychological illusion. The other woman or the other man merely serves as a pretext for dissolving a marriage that had already lost its essential integrity.

从表面上看，许多婚姻似乎是因为有了“第三者”才破裂的。然而这是一种心理上的幻觉。另外那个女人，或者另外那个男人，无非是作为借口，用来解除早就不是完好无损的婚姻罢了。

Nothing is more futile and more self-defeating than the bitterness of spurned love, the vengeful feeling that someone else has "come between" oneself and a beloved. This is always a distortion of reality, for people are not the captives or victims of others---they are free agents, working out their own destinies for good or for ill.

因失恋而痛苦，因别人“插足”于自己与心上人之间而图报复，是最没有出息、最自作自受的乐。这种事总是歪曲了事实真相，因为谁都不是给别人当俘虏或牺牲品——人都是自由行事的，不论命运是好是坏，都由自己来作主。

But the rejected lover or mate cannot afford to believe that his beloved has freely turned away from him--- and so he ascribes sinister or magical properties to the interloper. He calls him a hypnotist or a thief or a home-breaker. In the vast majority of cases, however, when a home is broken, the breaking has begun long before any "third party" has appeared on the scene.

但是，遭离弃的情人或配偶无法相信她的心上人是自由地背离他的——因而他归咎于插足者心术不正或迷人有招。他把他叫做催眠师、窃贼或破坏家庭的人。然而，从大多数事例看，一个家的破裂，是早在什么“第三者”出现之前就开始了的。

[《时间的价值是多少》优秀英语作文素材

期末考试考好之后，我绝对是大玩一顿。

1.早起晚睡

准确的说是7：00起床开机，然后一直玩到……下午3，4点(中间也会小睡很长时间的，记得最长的一次是玩到9：00，太困了，结果睡到了4：00，刷牙洗脸之后，门壮烈的打开了，我妈回来了)

2.大吃特吃 我爸给我买了4大块的巧克力(我最喜欢吃了，(*^__^*) 嘻嘻……)(7元左右一块的那种)结果当天刚消灭2块，被父母说了一顿。唉~但是，我的智胜理念是：此时不吃何时吃，被打屁股的时候就不是我吃了(巧克力没收，他们吃5555……)

3.不问分数 问了之后不告诉父母是不诚实的行为——这是次要，O(∩_∩)O哈哈~。最重要的是，我对分数很敏感的，如果…如果考得不好(不用说一定考得不好)玩的时候就不安心的。玩游戏的时候要求的是——一心一意，全神贯注，专心致志，目不转睛，废寝忘食，海枯石烂，海阔天空，空中楼阁，格格不入，入木三分，分秒必争，争先恐后，后来居上，上蹿下跳，跳死活该…。.(+_+晕 ⊙﹏⊙b汗 一不小心激起了我的成语IQ)

4.偶弥陀佛，求求你吧，我虽然不是佛教的忠实崇拜者(因为我不想被剃光头)——冒死说一句，我是最最讨厌厌恶佛教者。

但是，看在我现在还看西游记得分上(实在没电视可看了，而且还是在卫星中断的时候，否则谁要看你这幼稚的破玩意儿…。.又说多了⊙﹏⊙b汗)

你让我的分数，或者名次，在有奖学金的范围里吧(上次竟然考了个11，12名——以绝食威胁我妈说的，现在才知道，谁让我勇气可嘉呢，绝食了3分钟实在受不了，偷偷把剩下的两块巧克力吃了，然后再包装纸里装进了试卷——试卷，不是我诋毁你，你上面的那些黑黑的字我老早就想吃掉了，让人吃掉也不错。额，⊙﹏⊙b汗，又扯远了)

反正，让我的遭遇别像老庙黄金一样就行了……………88

这次期末考试的成绩已经发下来了，我的心情久久不能平复。

积累与运用是我最懊悔的地方，可能是我太盲目自信了吧，单单是课本上的只是就被扣掉了12、13分，而且还都是那些最简单的题目。这让我不得不得重新认识自己的IQ。这积累与运用出错的原因就是应为我对课本上的知识还没有完全掌握，还得再继续努力，加把劲儿。

阅读题是我丢分最多的地方。改卷老师把我的每小题都扣掉个1、2分。本来少少的1、2分却越积越多，把我的分数在无意间蒸发掉了。我恨自己为什么那么不小心，为什么不再认真一点;恨改卷老师太小气了，为什么每题都从我这儿抢走一点分儿呢!

作文是我最生气的地方。明明在我的面前就有一个很好的题材让我写，可是我却偏偏要报道孤山老林去写个破东西。唉，可怜的我脑袋怎么就那么不开窍?

妈妈知道我的成绩以后，把我骂了个狗血淋头，害我无地自容，巴不得挖个地洞钻进去。她怕我不长记性，结合我平日的学习情况，送给了我句诗：平日不努力，考试徒伤悲。

经过了这次期末考试，我一定会谨遵老师和老妈的教诲，好好学习。下次我将看着试卷上那鲜亮的大红勾勾感到兴奋，而不是眼泪汪汪。
