+ 加入清单There is a saying that every family has its trouble. Indeed, no one can go
on well all the time. My parents have found the good way to educate us. Thus,
when there is conflict happening between the relatives, we obey the rules and

works to solve problems. The first rule is to say thank you when we get help.
Such as when someone open the door for us, we also need to show gratitude. I

+ 加入清单或许只是一瞬间,我突然发觉,外婆真的老了——头发不再乌黑,背也不再挺直。她开始频频忘事,有时妈妈向她询问一些往事,她都记得不大清楚,甚至是完全忘却了。
那是一个很平常的傍晚,外婆正在炒菜,而我则坐在客厅里玩手机游戏。那是我玩的第几盘游戏了?我已经不记得了。外婆几次制止我,我都当作耳旁风。她见我不听她的,索性不再讲,做饭去了。
我有些怀疑和心虚:为何唠叨声突然停止了?难道外婆去给妈妈打电话“控诉”我的“恶行”了?我心里有些害怕,偷偷张望了一下外婆在干什么。
外婆正在厨房里准备炒菜。她在廚房里转了一圈,似乎在寻找什么却并没有找到,她便弯下腰,继续在橱柜里寻找着。可当她想再直起腰来时,很是艰难。
对常人来说,直起腰来非常容易,但对外婆来说,却很艰难。她攥紧了围裙,慢慢地直起了腰,脸上似乎还有汗水流下。她随意地用胳膊擦了擦脸,便开始炒菜,油烟一下子四溢开来。油烟那么浓,外婆却没有开抽油烟机。
“外婆,油烟也太浓了,为什么不开抽油烟机啊?”
“为什么要开啊?能不开就不开,就算是几分钱,也是你爸妈辛辛苦苦挣的啊,哪能随意浪费(7还有啊,孩子,你把你手里的手机放下吧,好歹学习一会儿。”
“知道了。”我继续玩着游戏。
“知道了就赶快放下手机!”外婆走到我的身边,继续说。
“行了,行了,这就结束了。”我头也不抬地回答。
“爸妈养你也不容易,你一定要好好学习啊……”
“怎么这么啰嗦啊?天天唠唠叨叨的,不嫌烦啊?”我把手机往桌上一扔,朝外婆吼了起来。但话一出口,我就后悔了——我是不是太过分了,居然这样向长辈说话。
外婆怔了一下,却没有打我。
“行,我也不想管你了,你爱怎么样就怎么样吧。”外婆的声音有些颤抖,直叫我心酸懊悔。
外婆又回去做饭了,但她的步伐似乎很是缓慢。每一步,都让我感到无比难过,想说些道歉的词句,却又开不了口。
外婆,真的是老了啊。她已不像从前一样健康了,有时,她会肚子疼,虽然她一直说没事,却难受得在床上躺了一天。她的确很唠叨,但她是为了我好啊,我怎么能这样对她?
后来,我对外婆说了“对不起”,外婆又像往常一样,开始唠叨起来:“你啊,只要对得起你爸妈,外婆就很开心了!”外婆是爱唠叨,但她爱着我,没有一丝虚假。不论是外婆,还是外婆的唠叨,都已经在我的心中留下了永恒的芳香。

+ 加入清单It is the traditional merit to respect the old in China. Since I was very
small, I received the education that young people should respect the old without
any question. I kept it in my heart and showed respect to the old people all the
time. But as I grew up and with the development of Internet, media exposed the
negative side of the old people. They were rude and impolite sometimes, some of
them took it for granted that young people should serve to them. So people start
to think about whether it was worthy giving priority to the old. In my opinion,
it is the adorable behavior that deserves to be respected, instead of the age.
When old people were rude, they also needed to face the publics criticism. Only
the multi-respect can help people better communicate.

+ 加入清单导语:你的童年有什么有趣的事情吗?下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的英语作文,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!
I was born in a small county which is poor. Therefore, there were no beautiful clothes or many toys. Before I went to school at six, I only played with my peers nearby. It was such a wonderful period that I would never forget. We always made our toys independently, which cost no money at all. Sometimes, parents would help making toys as well. We could play from morning to night until parents told us to go home for dinner. However, as a rural child, I must help my parents doing farm work in the busy season, such as planting and harvesting. Besides, my mother is a teacher. Therefore, she began to teach me to read and count when I was three, so I had to spend some time I study. Now, remembering it, I feel much happy rather than upset.
参考翻译
我出生在一个贫困的小农村里,因此不能拥有漂亮的衣服和玩具。在我六岁上学之前,我都是和邻居的同龄小朋友玩,那是一段我无法忘怀的快乐的岁月。我们通常都是自己做玩具,不花一分钱,有的时候我们的父母也会给我们做一些玩具。那个时候,我们可以从早晨玩到天黑,直到爸爸妈妈叫我们回家吃饭。但是,作为一个农村的孩子,在农忙的时候我也必须要帮忙家里干些农活,像是种植和收割这些。另外,我的妈妈是一名老师,因此在我三岁的时候她就开始教我识字、算术了,所以我还要花些时间在学习上。现在,回想起这些,我更多的是快乐,而不是烦恼。

+ 加入清单下午主要的几科发试卷了……
语文98分,数学8*分,英语117分……看着这些成绩,我有点踹不过气来了,小科成绩一旦出来,或许我连上学的信心都没有了吧?……考试分数这么低,哭都不好意思哭了。
实在是太差了——如果平时谦虚一些,踏踏实实的努力学习,就肯定不会这样的——这样的成绩,别人问起来我不知道怎样说出口。
妈妈一定很失望很失望了……
我自己也很难过很难过的……
如果像AA她们那样,作业认真完成并得优秀;上课认真听讲不浮躁,不去理会平常的那些是是非非,也就不会是这个成绩了。
感觉自己比妈妈养的花还不如,那么普通的一些花,少量的浇水,随便放在哪个窗台上,到了季节就开出美丽的花。可我呢?从来没有灿烂地开花过,爸爸妈妈对我投入的精力多,我吸收的养分比花多,可是我将养分全部用在“歪门邪道”上了——养分流失了,那些花朵开的一定不会好了……
我也想考出好成绩,让自己开心,也让爸爸妈妈放心,可是,这学期的考试每次带来的都是无尽的烦恼和叹息。
听老师说,马上就要八校联考了,希望在这期间好好预习复习,踏踏实实的学习,打好牢固的根基,任何一科都不放松!
未来的考试还很多,需要学习的知识也很多,只要我踏实地学习,不浮躁,不成天想着衣服什么的,成绩一定可以变好!
是蓓蕾,总会开出美丽的花!我坚信,属于我的那朵花,不久之后一定缤纷绽放!

+ 加入清单Happiness is dependent upon work. Sometimes we complain that we have too
much work, but we fail to realize that it’s our work that keep us moving on and
helps us to become a better man. Last summer I visited my friends in a small
village. It was obvious that working has become an indispensable part of their
daily lives. They all went to the field to plant the crops. The sun was shinning
above them and they looked quite happiness about their work. On their face there
were such smiles as I had never seen before.
Work provide us with happiness. Work is more than a necessity for human
beings. If we have no work to do, we will waste our precious time. That’s pity.
We will lose everything in the end. Work helps us to realize the importance of
life, then we will appreciate it more. Everybody who live in this society could
not live without working. If we spend every day idly, we will find life is
boring.

七夕别称“星期”。王勃的《七夕赋》“伫灵匹于星期,眷神姿于月夕”把星期与月夕相提并论,点出了一年四季中与亲情、与爱情相关的最美好、也最凄楚动人的两个夜晚。大约正因如此吧,后人便把男女成婚的吉日良辰叫作“星期”。
在晴朗的夏秋之夜,天上繁星闪耀,一道白茫茫的银河象一座天桥横贯南北,在河的东西两岸,各有一颗闪亮的星星,隔河相望,遥遥相对,那就是牵牛星和织女星。
七夕坐看牵牛织女星,是民间的习俗,相传,在每年的这个夜晚,是天上织女与牛郎在鹊桥相会之时。织女是一个美丽聪明、心灵手巧的仙女,凡间的妇女便在这一天晚上向她乞求智慧和巧艺,也少不了向她求赐美满姻缘,所以七月初七也被称为乞巧节。
人们传说在七夕的夜晚,抬头可以看到牛郎织女的银河相会,或在瓜果架下可偷听到两人在天上相会时的脉脉情话。
女孩们在这个充满浪漫气息的晚上,对着天空的朗朗明月,摆上时令瓜果,朝天祭拜,乞求天上的仙女能赋予她们聪慧的心灵和灵巧的双手,让自己的针织女红技法娴熟,更乞求爱情婚姻的姻缘巧配。过去婚姻对于女性来说是决定一生幸福与否的终身大事,所以,世间无数的有情男女都会在这个晚上,夜静人深时刻,对着星空祈祷自己的姻缘美满。
篇20:英语高二
全文共 1367 字
+ 加入清单Its about one and a half month away from the Chinese New Year, It is a
festival celebrated by the Chinese people at the beginning of the lunar calendar
year.
As of the Chinese traditional customs, our parents and grandparents will
sweep every corner of the house and clean the windows until they gleam, and
washing clothes, buying foods and goods for the new years future use and
presents.
Children will be the most benefited group during this feast period. One
month before that, they are expecting the new clothes, delicious foods. The
firecrackers and the years allowance for their increased ages.
In recent years, with the rising of the standard of life, Chinese tend to
make various holiday plans to spend a different and meaningful new year. Such as
traveling abroad, or be absorbed in their hobbies, and even work.
Why today we try to spend our Chinese new year in such a different way? I
think thats because this is a era of free life and personality high-ranking.
Though there are still something traditional, our young generation is attempting
to make something new and suitable for ourselves. And we would like to take
something really worth to be cherished in our memorable treasures. Thats
amazing and wonderful!
Ill always keep in mind that the Chinese new year is a great feast
inherited from our ancestors, but if necessary, I would like to enjoy it by some
ways personal.
