我爱我的家,我的爸爸妈妈,爱是不吵架,天天陪我玩耍这是我最喜欢的一首歌,它代表着家的温馨、甜蜜,我也有这样的一个幸福、快乐的家。

我的家是由:和蔼可亲的爸爸、温柔漂亮的妈妈和调皮捣蛋的我组成。爸爸是家里的顶梁柱,最是大男子主义。爸爸长着一双炯炯有神的眼睛,高高的鼻梁上架着一副眼镜,显得很深沉,又很有学问似的。爸爸在家从不摆大人架子,总是和我打打闹闹。但是,对我的学习,他可从来不马虎,如果一听我学习不好,那张笑口常开的脸立刻由晴转阴。记得有一次数学测验,我只考了79分,在回家的路上,往日街上嘈杂的声音,我好似也听不到了,小鸟那婉转的叫声现在也不那么动听了。平时,回到家,我总会唧唧喳喳的叫喊,可今天,我却向一个泄了气的皮球,不敢说话。进了门,爸爸问我:菁菁,考了多少分?我用只有自己才能听到的蚊子叫声胆胆颤颤的答到:79,说完,我低着头,把考试卷递给了爸爸,爸爸接过考卷,认真的看了起来,站在旁边的我,心里就向有十五个吊桶打水――七上八下,我胆战心惊的等待着一场暴风雨的到来。谁知,爸爸看完后不仅没有打我,还给我把卷子上的错题一一解释清楚,语重心长地对我说:菁菁,分数不重要,重要的是你努力了,希望你改正错误,考出一个优异的成绩。我听后,刚才那忐忑不安的心情立刻烟消云散,随之而来的是惭愧,我觉得对不起爸爸的良苦用心,我心里暗暗下决心,下次,一定给爸爸交上一副满意的答卷。

刚谈了谈爸爸,现在该说说我的妈妈了。妈妈苗条的身材,乌黑的长发,一双明亮的眼睛,翘翘的鼻梁下长着一张樱桃小嘴。妈妈平时工作很忙,还要操劳家务,我和爸爸都是妈妈的主管对象。有一次,我和爸爸在家里打闹,把家里弄的乱七八糟,妈妈下班回来后,大发雷霆,我们一见事情不妙,便赶快躲到一边去了,妈妈一边唠叨,一边打扫我们的战场,很快,家里焕然一新。总之,妈妈是我们全家公认的劳动模范。

这回,总算轮到说我了。我继承了妈妈的优点!人们都说我长的像妈妈,其实,我根本不如妈妈漂亮。在家里,我是爸爸妈妈的掌上明珠,他们对我是含在嘴里怕化了,捧在手里怕丢了,所以,我总是事事依赖父母,偶尔,我还会给他们添些小乱子。正因为有了调皮的我,家里才会充满了欢乐的气氛。

我爱我的家,我的爸爸妈妈,爱是不吵架,天天陪我玩耍。我的耳边又回响起了这首熟悉的歌曲。

at present, more and more people think that men and women should enjoy

equal rights. many countries even have passed laws to guarantee such an equality

between different sexes. accordingly, there are now no longer certain jobs or

certain places that are closed to women. the number of business women, female

doctors, scientists and leaders is considerably increasing.

there are three main reasons for the improvement of womens social

position. first, women themselves have been persistently struggling for

equality. second, men also realize that women are not born inferior to them.

women can do a great many things as well as or even better than men. third,

social development has produced a great demand for womens participation in

every field.

in spite of these changes the liberation of women has not been completely

realized. prejudice against women is deeply rooted still in some peoples mind,

especially in distant rural areas. so, mankind should take further painstaking

efforts to really realize equality.

Sports do us good in many respects.It goes without saying that taking

exercises can build up our physical strength. In collective sports like

basketball, volleyball, or football, we will learn the importance of

cooperation. While taking part in sports game, we will try our best to win and

arouse ourselves the competitive spirit. Sports can also help us relax after a

period of exhausting work. However, as the saying goes, "there are two sides to

everything", and sports is without exception. We may hurt other players or

ourselves if we are not careful enough when participating in sports activities.

Whats more, excessive or severe training can do harm to our health.

My participation in sports tells me that sports can make us healthy both

physically and psychologically. It is also a good way for people to know each

other and can promote friendship between people. So long as we are carefully

enough, sports can do us nothing but good.

My favorite Sports is basketball. It looks so cool in TV that I was crazy about those basketball stars ever since I was little.

Basketball requires speed, height and skills. I run, jump, switch, and try to hit! All parts of my body are exercised in this sport. I feel that I’m like wind flying in the playground for my goal, which makes me feel so GREat!

Basketball needs quick reaction and decision. When chance comes, it may disappear in the next second. I should keep an eye watching as an eagle, decide and judge quickly as a leopard, and run for it as a wolf.

Further more, basketball is a sports more than just exercising, It needs team work. No one can play himself. A team should work together. So I learn to cooperate with others in this game. I should understand what my teammate doing and what he needs me to do for him. On the other side, I should learn to show my teammate what I need. At the same time, I need to keep an eye on the whole game, knowing how is the situation of our team and how is the other team. It involved more cooperation and strategy.

I played basketball more for about 5 years now. I make many good friends throught this sports. It is proud to win honor for my team and my school. Also I enjoy all games with my friends. Basketball will be my best friends in the future and my best memory about school life.

篇20:关于茶的英语作文初中

全文共 1688 字

"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.
