英语暑假作文初中【精品20篇】

the chinese spring festival and the western christmas

evely nation has its own folk festivals. Those festivals give people a chance to be away from their regular work and everyday worries to enjoy themselves and to develop kindship and fiiendship. The spring festival is the chief holiday in china while christmas is the most important redletter day in the western world。

the spring festival and christmas have much in common. Both are prepared hefiorehand to create a joyous atmosphere; both offer a family reunion with a square feast: and both satisfy the children with new clothes, lovely presents and delicious food. However, the chinese spring festival has no religious background while christmas has something to do with god and there is santa claus with white heard to bring children presents. The westerners send each other christmas cards for greetings while the chinese people pay a call on each other。

nowadays, some of the chinese youth has begun to celebrate christmas, following the example of the westerners. Perhaps they do so just for fun and out of curiosity。

No matter the day is how to spend endless， the sun always rises and falls，

flowers always bloom and wither， around heavy traffic is always fleeting， stand

at the time of the tail， we kept after the mist as ignorant of the future.

Too many people always sigh the cruelty of time and the helpless of growing

up。 In fact， growth is really a caterpillar into a butterfly process， always

undergo a metamorphosis of pain， you can better meet the chocolate as unknown

world。 All that let go or no one saw tears in a few years back， you can get

unexpected! The road of the future， whether rugged or smooth， requires you to go

and taste it alone.

Eileen Chang wrote an article about "road"， referring to the way of growth。

This road is a road that everyone must take。 Those who pass by advise the people

who are going this way not to choose the road， because it is so rough and long

that it is refuted： "since you can walk this way， how can I not go out?"。" Thus，

one after another people go through this road full of hardships， perhaps this is

the true meaning of growth。 Knowing that he might fall into it， he obstinately

persisted in his choice.

I think that the child will never grow up Peter Pam， who said he had no

regrets can not grow， we are always sad to miss the past endlessly all say

"dont grow up， never grow up， if you really can not grow up， you really dont

care? Every time there is a time of happiness。 In any case， we will grow up as

time goes by from the palm of the palm.

Growing up is like a mysterious fruit。 Some people resist it hysterically，

and some people cant wait to taste it。 But only when we grow up can we get more

and better world.

放下了学习的包袱，没有负担，没有包袱，快乐的走向暑假!

经过我们的学习和努力，期末考试的紧张心情已飘到九霄云外了，迎来的是快乐和自由的暑假。

有些同学对暑假的印象是残酷的，有些同学却是快乐的。这是为什么呢?这都源于同学们在平时日常生活中的表现。因为在学习中不够努力，父母的不放心，才会导致轻松自在的暑假进入魔鬼般的训练之中。

曾经听同学们说，在暑假里，要补习功课，又要学习舞蹈，每天连气儿都喘不过来，一个暑假就这样过去，一点情调都没有。听到这些话之后，我吃了一惊，对于他们的暑假深有感慨：他们为什么会有这样的下场?为什么会流落到如此的地步呢?家长为什么会让孩子这么辛苦的度过一个令人向往的暑假呢?是因为他们的学习不努力，是因为他们学习态度的不端正，是因为家长对他们的负责，望子成龙、望女成凤的深沉的期盼，才会导致他们现在的下场。以前，我为了求更好，曾买了一些资料留着暑假做。爸爸对此很反对，对我说，暑假是一个学期的长假，如果要继续学习、做作业，那还要暑假做什么?那不如每天到学校里继续学习喽!暑假，一定要放松心情，保持一定的体力，到了开学的时候，我们就可以有精力的认真的学习!所以，每一个暑假，都要放松心情，不要有很重的包袱!从此以后，我就拒绝了暑假的补习班，再也不把暑假，拖入一个沉重得黑洞中!

让我们的暑假变得轻松自在，在没有包袱的暑假中成长!让快乐走向暑假!让轻松奔向暑假!

期末考是总结你一学期的学习成果，四年级暑假作文。在大考降临的那一天，我是如此的紧张，头脑像是被脑电波所控制，手也在不停的颤抖，总怕自己会一时失误，导致一个不堪设想的后果。而爸爸曾说过这么一句话：“只要你考得好，有99分以上，爸爸就奖励你一块手表或是一部自行车。”这两样可都是我梦寐以求的东西呀!它们在我的脑海中画过一条美丽的弧线，又被风浪所洗净，胸前飘扬着的鲜艳、耀眼的红领巾提醒了我，似乎在语重心长地对我说：“你可不能为奖励而考试，是为你自己呀!读起来的书都是你的，别人抢不走!切记，切记!”我顿时恍然大悟。

不一会儿，考试开始了。我怀着愉悦而又带点挂念的心情进入了考场。考试时我总是在东张西望，瞧瞧这里，看看那里。盯着一个同学不放。经过我一番考察过后，我发现几乎所有同学都是一副一丝不苟、神情严肃的样子。眼睛有时睁大一点，犹如铜铃般，像是在找蚂蚁，又像是在瞪眼，更像在看一个芝麻点儿大的字;嘴巴不停地念叨着什么，有时嘴巴一张一合，十分缓慢像是在语重心长地对着试卷说些什么。突然，讯雷不及掩耳，犹如梭子般，一刻不停地动着，像是在念叨着什么。与我完全相反，我倒是无所事事，好像不是我在考一样，十分乐观。而我心里却默念着：“不能辜负了老师、家长的期望……

大考完后的第二天，我迫不及待地想打电话问问成绩，便立马让妈妈拨通了老师的号码。我心里像是揣了只小鹿，怦怦直跳，不停地祈祷着。心想道：一定要有好成绩呀!果然，皇天不负有心人，我语文考了——99.5，数学——100。那时我的高兴简直无法用语言来形容，手舞足蹈的。

通过了这见事后，要想获取某一方面的成功，就必须下苦功去练，认真、刻苦、持之以恒，是必不可少的，上天总会让你扑向胜利的怀抱的。

日出美，日落更美、更迷人。

晚饭后，我们一家人去江边看日落。

轻柔的晚风，从江面吹来。抚摸着我的脸，使我倍感清凉，惬意极了。

起初，太阳像个大火球挂在天边，它脱掉金灿灿的纱衣，已没有了刺眼的光芒。像一个玩皮的孩子，玩累了，懒洋洋的地投上了大地母亲的怀抱，红色染红的半边天，山川红了，连匆忙骑车回家的阿姨们也披上了红纱。江水变了颜色，一半红一半绿。我沉迷这美景之中，情不自禁的呤诵：一道残阳铺水中，半江瑟瑟半江红……

慢慢地，慢慢地太阳接近了地平线。天空红的像着了火似的，红彤彤的一片。转肯间，它又像一个害羞的小姑娘与我捉迷藏，向大地母亲的身后躲去。剩大边脸，半边脸，小半边脸……越来越小。渐渐在太阳看不见了，只剩下一道余辉。我被眼前的景色吸引了，呆呆地站在那儿，目不转睛地看着太阳消失的地方。

“夕阳无限好”，只有看见它的人才能领略它的美。

我爱日出，更爱日落。

今年的暑假，对我来说意义非凡，因为过完这个暑假，我就是一个初三的学生了，将要面临人生的第一个转折点。

刚一宣布暑假开始，我就又要奔向新的“战场”--预科班。从暑假的第一天开始，我就在三十多度的炎炎烈日下，奔波于家和两个预课班之间，上午8点至11点半，是物理与化学的“群攻”，下午4点至6点则是我与数学的“单打独斗”，另外每个星期天的下午还要上一节自己心爱的美术课，也不知道请了多少次假，调了多少节课，才能统筹安排不落下一节课。天天忙忙碌碌，虽然整天东奔西跑，烈日下大汗淋漓，但我觉得我的每一天都很充实。

预课班一直坚持上了一个多月，终于宣布“终战”，于是我便开始疯狂地“饿补”暑假作业，起早贪黑持续写了两个多星期，终于功夫不付有心人，总算完成了作业的三分之二，剩下的则是一些随笔和背书的任务了，心里终于可以松口气了。

刚好也就在这个时候，由于爸爸要外出开会学习的缘故，妈妈便和爸爸商量，决定休假陪我外出来一场说走就走的旅行，兴奋之余我仍然没有忘记在旅行包中带上未完成的作业。

我们计划旅行的目的地是大连和河北承德，由于路途遥远，高铁、飞机、火车来回倒车，每天起早贪黑，跟着旅行团游玩，还要挤出时间，拖着疲惫的身躯赶作业，尽管烈日炎炎、一路劳顿，但也阻挡不了内心的喜悦，嬉戏徜徉于广阔无垠的大海，驰聘于一望无际的草原，身心还是放松了许多，心情也变得格外开心，总是想抓住每个精彩瞬间，多留恋美丽的风景，多感受愉快的旅途。

转眼间，两个月的暑假生活就要结束了，这个暑假可真是个忙碌而又充实、累并快乐着的暑假。开学之际，我可要静下心来，好好规划和迎接新学期的生活了，加油啊!为自己的梦想拼搏、为实现理想加油!

拿起笔来，轻轻地记录下我的心情。

忙碌了一天，此刻，我正伏在书桌前享受家的宁静。

对我而言，心灵的宁静就是躺在床上，枕着松软的枕头，读一本好书，把全身心都放轻松。躲离了喧闹声，我坐在床上静静品读文章，有说不出的惬意。此时，一切重归于寂静，只有床头闹钟还在“滴滴答答”的唱着单调乏味的歌曲陪伴着我，此刻，白天充满生机的我感到了疲惫。而只有家——这个温馨的港湾可以供我休息，让我拥有这种宁静的感觉，让我在外漂泊的心有一个归宿。

有时在读书之余，我会在心中勾画出对于未来的一个又一个美好的幻想。其中有些念头，只是在脑海中一闪而过，稍纵即逝;有的却在心中持续了长久。这些有点远离实际的幻想，在我的努力下，正在慢慢实现。

人生总是需要短暂的休息，使之更有精神，我这种宁静的休息，是在陶冶我的情操。在我的小屋里，我总能感觉到有种家的温馨，有股家的味道在其中久久环绕。这味道并不是用鼻子能够闻出来的，而是需要用心去感受，去体会。这味道也不是用笔能够描述的，它总是深深的藏在心里。这种甜蜜的味道总是爱粘在我的心头，挥之不去，但又给了我心灵一种温暖的依靠。

在家里，我最喜欢看书了。那淡淡的墨香，总让人沉迷在其中。作家诗般的语言，充满哲理的语句，让我着迷。在家中，我可以随着人物的喜而喜，人物的悲而悲，无拘无束。沉浸在书的海洋里，我感到了心灵的温暖。这温暖，是依偎在妈妈怀抱的温暖，丝丝缕缕，藏在心头。这时候，我仿佛回到了童年，找到了童心，还有那心灵深处的宁静，我虽然该升初中了。但我内心深处对家的那种模糊而又清晰的形象还在，而且可能永远存在。

家，是我休息的地方，是我在孤独时感到温暖的地方，是珍藏着我童心的地方，也是我扬帆起航的地方。

在家里，我可以无忧无虑，自由自在，因为家是我的港湾，同时也是我心灵的港湾，我心的依靠。

宁静的家，有一种独特的意境，只有真正融入这意境，才能感到家的意义。我爱我家!

时间如流水，放假的日子里，时间更如流水，还没觉得一个月就结束了。在这一个月里，我过的真的好开心。因为放假前，我有做好计划表的。所以不管什么都按排的很好。现在我和大家分享一下我快乐的生活吧。

这个假期里，我的收获可大了。学会了十字绣。妈妈说我学起来有模有样的。十字绣绣起来很累人。眼睛和手和脑要同时并用的。绣十字绣锻炼了我的定力和耐力。呵呵我有信心完成这副作品。

我还利用暑假时间，好好练习我的琵琶，因为平时上学练的也不是很多，弹起来不是很流畅，一首美妙曲子，如果不能弹的很好，听起来会很不舒服。琵琶也让我很放松，我有时都陶醉在当中了。

暑假里，不能总想着玩，学习很重要的。每天的作业要和上学时一样，按时完成，字迹端正。英语的读写每天都不可少的。因为英语本来就是要多读多写的。另外再做点奥数，每天做个几题， 锻炼锻炼自己的脑子。脑子不动，可是要生锈的哟。

吃过晚饭，我每天都要锻炼一下身体，学习好，也要有好的身体才行，我要把身体锻炼的结结实实的，下学期多多参加班级和学校组织的体育活动。跑步，打羽毛球我都喜欢的。现在我的羽毛球可以和妈妈比一比了。

最开心是妈妈会带上我去山塘街看看，晚上山塘可美啦， 霓虹灯闪烁，轻松的音乐。呵呵，还有名间小吃，那感觉可真好。平时上学，妈妈从不带我出来玩的。放假了妈妈说也让我放松放松，带我去看看我们苏州的夜景。晚上的苏州真美!真的。我更要好好学习，将来要把苏州建设的更美。

哈哈，在这个暑假里，我既玩了也学习了。长不不少见识和知识。这个暑假真快乐呀!

The longing summer vacation is approaching, it is the best part of the

school year for me. I cannot let the holidays elapse (逝去) meaninglessly, my

vacation should be a phase (时期、阶段) of harvest. The events in my plan should give

me a sense of infinite potential.

The following plan may reveal the intensity of my desire to travel, work

and study in this vacation. In the first few days I want to climb Mount Hua Shan

with several friends to refresh ourselves. Then I tend to visit relatives,

senior school teachers and former classmates(老同学). Besides, to find out the best

ways to cultivate my abilities, I will find a part time job and conduct some

social investigation.

In short, I want to do interesting things in the summer vacation. Whatever

I do, the goal is the same: to get necessary experience, acquire knowledge and

broaden my horizons. Though the six week vacation will pass away at lightning

speed, its influence is bound to last long.

In the summer vacation is very meaningful for me, because I met a special

"friend" -- the tortoise.

The appearance of the tortoise is very silly, bravery, small, easily

indented his head into the shell, but because of this, I like talking to it,

what secret all tell it, the tortoise seems to understand. A few days to get

along with down, our relationship has been very deep.

Someone says: love is not necessarily have, also can be let go. Everyone

has his own family, tortoise, too, so I decided to let the turtle go home. I

took the decision to tell dad, dad said I was a sensible child, also promised to

take the turtle home with me.

Along the way, I firmly hold the tortoise and the turtle seemed to

understand that we are about to separate, very good to lay in my arms. Dad and I

found a very clean in the reservoir, where we are and the tortoise took a group

photo, then put the turtle in the water. Looking at the turtle swam slowly to

the water, my tears constantly supposed although there are countless heart

loathe to give up, but love it should not let it go? I waved and said,

"good-bye, tortoise, I wish you a speedy reunion with my family." Turtle swam

for a while, and turned to head looked at us, and then swam to the bottom. My

father and I you look at me, I see you, everyone laughed happily.

Look, what a meaningful summer vacation!

暑假是个多姿多彩，变化多端的万花筒，五彩缤纷的暑假给了我们无穷无尽的乐趣。这个暑假我来到了我的故乡，现在就由我述说我遇到的趣事吧。

“咔嚓!咔嚓!咔嚓......”咔嚓声随处可听，你猜我们在干什么呢?哈哈!猜不到吧，告诉你这是我们村子正在举行采茶叶比赛。大人们正在忙着采茶叶。

“加油!加油!”有的小朋友在喊加油，有的站在高出往下看，有的一直跳来挑去的，有的直接冲到爸爸妈妈那帮忙。我也跑到妈妈那去帮忙。我边跑边看，那一排排的茶树挡住了我的视线，我好不容易才找到了他们，爸爸教我用折采，只要是嫩的标准采摘时包托顶，撩头都应该用这种手法。我学着找了俩片一心的茶叶，它们好像在和玩捉迷藏，我使劲地张大双眼，找啊找。哈哈，终于被我找到了吧，看了一下我们的茶叶还没有半篓子呢，我拼命地找，一会弓着腰找，一会蹲着找。我把找到的放在篓子里。比赛结束了，我们没有得到名次，但是我体会到大人们的工作是辛苦的，我们应该珍惜现在的每一分每一秒。

太阳下山了，我闻到一阵阵清淡的茶叶香，我依依不舍地走着，走了大约二三百米处，我回头看了看这座山，这座非常有次序的茶山，相隔二三百米的距离，我还是能闻到茶叶香。

多姿多彩的暑假虽然过去了，但是在我的脑海中却无法忘记。我深深的体会到：暑假生活如果不好好计划，就会浪费时间。而且要好好的珍惜现在的`每一分每一秒。

今年暑假，爸爸妈妈带我去青海博物馆看摄影展。看完后我感慨万分。

这次展览的主题是青海的变化。分为两大部分，一是变化前的青海;二是变化后的青海。走进展厅，我首先看到的照片是一座座破旧不堪的小土房和一条长长的街道，人烟稀少。原来那是现在非常繁华的西门。我看了后大吃一惊，想不到前前后后才过了十几年，竟然有这么大的变化，真是想不到。第二幅照片跟第一幅比相对繁华一些，有一片黑压压的老房子，许多小商贩在街上叫卖，几个老百姓凑在跟前看。一看旁边的字幕，原来是现在西宁市的中心，最繁华的地带大十子。真是变化惊人呀!接下来的几张都是西宁以前旧面貌的照片。突然有一张照片让我停下脚仔细观察起来，这是在青海的一个小县城的农村里，一个七八岁大的小男孩蹲在井边打水，从照片上可以看见水桶里的水还不到半桶，水上面漂浮着一些树一杂草。

于是我想：“水那么脏，他们还能喝么?井里面水已经干枯，他们以后怎么办呢?”想着想着，我心中顿时有了怜悯之心，不知不觉中眼泪一滴一滴掉了下来。接下来这一张是一个牧民坐在辽阔的草原上，手里拿着皮鞭，离他不远的地方有一群小羊在吃草。白白地小羊在加上绿绿的草地和蓝蓝的天空，真是风吹草地见牛羊。过了一会儿，第一部分参观完了，该参观第二部分了。走进二号展厅，感觉眼前一亮，完全变了一种感觉，跟刚才截然不同。首先映入眼帘的一幅照片是夜晚的一架高速公路，路旁边是用彩灯装饰的一条线，沿着公路一直向前延伸，就像一条巨龙，在空中起伏，壮观极了。接下来这幅是在白天，市区里高楼大厦到处都是，放远销汽车在立交桥上川流不息。一片繁荣昌盛的景象。这跟前面几幅图截然不同，可见青海在这几年里发展多么快呀!

生活是多么美好啊!自从改革春风吹进了家家户户，人们的生活都好了，让我一起热爱生活，共建美好未来吧!

暑假已经马上进入尾声了，新学期即将来临。我们不会再有暑假中的自由，快乐。而是应该有着紧张的心情来面对新的学期。

暑假结束了我们是不是应该写篇文章来记录暑假中发生的重要事情，那就是总结。这个暑假我按计划完成了暑假作业的任务、在作文方面也有所提高并读完了四大名著、也学会了一项技能那就是做饭，只是因为时间关系并没有出去旅游。

这个暑假我最大的收获是学会了做饭。做饭可是不简单，不同的菜有不同的做法。在我刚学习做饭时连个炒蛋都炒的不好，那可是我平时认为最简单的菜!不过，经过一个暑假的练习，我的厨艺可是有很大的提高，已经可以做出一顿简单的饭菜来了。

而这个暑假我最大的遗憾是并没有按计划的那样外出旅游。本来我们计划等做完作业、学会技能、提高作文并读完了四大名著后开始旅游，也好让我的假期生活丰富多彩一些。可谁会想到爸爸会突然出差，这让我和妈妈留在了家里，而我最高兴的是我的作文水平有所提高并读完了四大名著。四大名著中我最喜欢的是《红楼梦》，它讲述了封建时期官吏腐败的现象并描述了贾宝玉、林黛玉、薛宝钗三人的悲惨的故事，读完它后会有一种清新寡欲的感觉。而我发现读完《三国演义》然而《水浒传》给我的感觉是好汉们最后并没有好结果，我想如果继续呆在梁山上或许结果会好些!

这就是这个暑假中令我难忘的几件重要的事，我的暑假虽然看起来并不丰富多彩，可是对我来说却是有意义的!我希望我们能每天都用自信的笑容来面对每一天，希望五年级能像春天的阳光一样，照耀着我们向前进。

the summer vacation had come round again. i was happy that i could forget about school at least for a while. lest i fool around all through this summer vacation, i made a plan as to how to spend it. first, i thought i should go over all those things my teachers taught in the previous term so that i could have a better understanding of them. then i thought i should take up some forms of exercise, such as walking, running and rowing, to keep me physically strong. it stood to reason that with such a good plan i should make the best of my vacation time. i did, because i lived up to what i had planned.

[英语作文：我的暑假计划

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.

时间过得真快呀，转眼间一个暑假就过去了。回忆起暑假里的那些事，真是数不胜数，而令我记忆犹新的就是常州中华恐龙园一日游了。

恐龙园真是好玩极了，让人去了不想回，回了还想再去。

看，“天旋地转”大风车启动啦！这个项目我觉得是最惊险最刺激的，人坐在一个大圆圈的椅子上，风车先是慢慢升到高空，升到大约离地面七、八米的样子后，突然做个360度的前后大旋转，哇，太刺激了！离地面那么高，我已经害怕得够呛，现在又来了个360度的前后大旋转，真是把我吓得魂飞魄散了！我赶紧闭上眼睛，一会儿，感觉风车在降落，哇啊啊！我要坠落了，当我睁开眼时发现我的脸正好朝着地面，感觉要与地面碰撞了。我又赶紧地闭上了眼，此刻心脏像停止了跳动，不能呼吸了。还好，一会功夫，风车就安全落到地面了，下来时还真有天旋地转的感觉。——还是平地踏实啊！

那是哪里，门口站着很多面目狰狞的鬼怪的地方，哦，那就是令人恐怖畏惧的“迷幻魔窟”。我和爸爸妈妈排完队走了进去，这里面阴森森的，只透出丝丝的冷光，令人不寒而栗。当我们走到一个山洞时，突然，一个巨型蝙蝠在我们头上一飞而过，“哇，吓死我也！”连妈妈都吓得躲在了我身后。我鼓起勇气接着往里走，进了一个隧道，突然一个木乃伊倒了下来。“图坦卡蒙！啊呀呀！”再往前走，黑乎乎的，好像到了阴曹地府，“啊！”一个骷髅头用血淋淋的手拍着玻璃，好像在说：“还我命来！”一个半人猛玛抓住监狱铁门用力摇来摇去，这两个鬼怪把我吓得大汗淋漓，拼命地向前冲，没想到这一冲就冲到了终点。

常州中华恐龙园真是有趣啊！这里好玩又刺激的游乐项目真令我流连忘返！下次我一定还会来的！

Today, our class held the monitor election. `And I became the new monitor in my class. I was very happy, but I was still very nervous now. When the election began, I was so nervous that I can hear my heart beating heavily.

I tried my best to calm down for a long time. Then I went to the platform to begin my prepared speech.

I felt my brain was blank when I was having my speech.

Before the election, I was confident for this position, but I still so nervous when I was in the platform. Thanks for preparing in advance; otherwise, I must be embarrassed. But the result was what I want. It’s a happy thing.

今天，我们班竞选班长了。`我成为了新的班长。我很高兴，不过我现在仍然很紧张。竞选开始的时候，我好紧张，我都可以听到我的心怦怦跳了。我努力了很长一段时间才平静下来。然后我才走向讲台开始我已经准备好的演讲。在演讲的时候，我觉得我的大脑一片空白。在竞选之前，我对这一职位是很有信心，但当我站在讲台上时还是很紧张。幸好提前准备了；否则，我肯定很难堪。不过结果却是我想要的。这是一件值得开心的事

[初中英语作文：竞选班长

Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live we must

communicate with other people.

A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by

the simple means of speech.

If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are

likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news

or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of

society.

Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and

during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one

of the dominating factors of contemporary society.

Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications,

photography, radio and television.

Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of

communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news,

which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.

No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged

minority.

In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed

fortunate, but today there are public libraries.

Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people

sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into

millions of homes.

Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of

information.

The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society

and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and

entertainment.

The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with

informing, educating and entertaining.

Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is

very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the

vast modern network of communications is open to abuse.

However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no

turning back.

迈克是我的好朋友。每当我需要帮助时，他就来到我身边。一天放学了，我不得不留下来跟3组的同学一起打扫卫生。但3组的其他人都在外边玩，他们谁都不想回来。于是迈克就过来帮我扫地。真是优秀作文 ，患难朋友才是真正的朋友。

Mike is my good friend. Any time I need help, he will come to me. One day after school, I had to stay and clean the classroom with Group Three. But they were still playing outside without any sign to go back. So Mike came and helped me clean the floor. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

今天是放假的第二天，早上五点就醒了，在床上躺着太热了，睡不着就起床了，穿上衣服后把爷爷也喊起来了，我说：“我们去外面走走吧!爷爷就领我到街上，老家的.空气让人感觉很清爽，而且人们见面也都很热情，互相打招呼，我和爷爷走了会就回来了，7点钟奶奶就做好饭了，吃完饭我就写暑假作业了，妈妈说：“不要求我写很多，但是要认真写，我就写了两页语文，两页数学，大约9点钟我去街上找祖爷爷聊天了，他年纪大了，已经不能走路了，坐在轮椅上，好可怜的，他最喜欢我了，我就陪他玩了会象棋，中午12点多吃饭，吃完饭睡觉睡醒练了两页字，晚上7点吃饭，看了会动画片就睡觉了。告诉你们我看的是：恐龙宝贝之龙神勇士。你们也在看吧!
