关于暑假的英语作文初三（精选20篇）

the large number of our population has become one of the most serious problems of our society. According to a recent survey of the National Bureau of Statistics, there are more than 1.3 billion people in our country, which account for about 1/5 of all the people in the world. the same survey also predicts that our population will grow quickly in the years to come.

Overpopulation has brought about a series of negative effects to our economic development and social security. In the first place, too many people impose a heavy burden on our environment. As a result, we suffer from a shortage of fresh water and natural resources. In the second place, as the supply of labor GREatly exceeds the demand of the society, many people become employed. This is a source of social unrest. Last but not least, we have to manufacture all kinds of products to meet the needs of the people, which causes environment pollution to our lakes and land.

Serious though the problem seems, we have to take some measures to tackle it. On the one hand, the government should carry out more strictly the policy of family planning, thus reducing the total number of population. On the other hand, all the people should realize the harms of overpopulation. With the concerted efforts of all the parties concerned, were sure to solve the problem in the future.

My summer vacation of this year was very enjoyable。 I went to the

countryside to spend my summer holidays.It is very beautiful there。 there are

green plants， clear rivers， lovely animals kind people。 i spent two weeks

helping my grandfather do some farm work there.Iwrote down what happened in my

diary every day.

Besides that,I helped the children in the neighbourhood with their

lessons.I helped them read english improve their spoken english.Their parents

thanked me for this.

Time is fleeting, as we all know. In the twinkling of an eye, the summer

vacation has passed most of the time. Its quite interesting to recall, because

in the days before that, there were some little things that I didnt notice,

reflecting the face of society.

1、 Deep into the spirit of dedication Summer, its rainy. And our

"dilapidated" community, every rainy season, the community is always accumulated

with water, but every time I travel after the rain, there is no water. Whats

going on? Finally, after another rain, my answer arrived.

At that time, the rain had stopped. Soon, I heard a familiar sound of

opening the door. At the same time, it was accompanied by the sound of countless

branches across the ground. Judging from the sound, the person who went out

seemed to be walking out of the door with heavy objects. In less than a minute,

I heard the sound of "close contact" between the broom and the ground.

All of a sudden, I came to realize that the smooth roads of other residents

in the past were thanks to this neighbor! He used to clean the road in the

morning, and we still enjoy the "deserved enjoyment!

——What makes me learn to do a good job without leaving a name in the real

sense is just a humble idea in the neighbors heart and a matter facilitated by

his body.

2、 Understanding and understanding

In the street, walking a fashionable girl, the atmosphere of wide leg pants

lining in her long legs, elegant hair flying in the back of her head, "advanced"

Sunglasses hanging in the ear, small earphone plug in the ear, a pair of high

cold queen style, let people see how much some uncomfortable. However, it is

such a "invincible" person, even with a full human dog! Moreover, whats more

surprising is that the girl is holding a shovel which is not suitable for her

dress!

Just as I was surprised, the dog she was holding actually pulled a lump of

poop! And impartial, just in front of a thriving barber shop! This is even more

surprising. What makes me even more distressed is the owner of this store. She

is very tired and has to clean up the mess of others, otherwise it will endanger

her own business!

The shopkeeper was just resting on the chair. Seeing this, her tired face

frowned instantly. However, there was some helplessness and blame in her

expression. Then, she sighed, moistened her dry lips, and tried to support

herself on the chair with her hands. As she was about to succeed, she caught a

glimpse of the scene outside the door, However, she suddenly released her

holding hand and sat down on the chair, her eyes full of tears. From her clear

"pool", this picture was reflected

In fact, the young girl didnt leave after the dog finished pulling the

poop. Instead, she waved the small shovel in her hand, shoveled the poop, and

then sent it into the garbage can·

As a matter of fact, ones own random action can reflect ones inner

self-cultivation and make one moved······

Although these two things are small, they are also big - they reflect the

actions of the whole city, that is to say, the society of the island is full of

humanity and love!

My holidays This summer, I was very happy. Although I didnt go out to travel. But my friends and me to a nursing home to help old people.In a nursing home, we introduce myself after, began to work for the old people. First of all, we first points groups.

Qingming rain have, the pedestrian on the road." Another Qingming Festival has arrived. In the morning, when our family got up early, they went to Beishan to pay for the old lady. In the year when Lao Tai died, we all missed her old man. The old mans life is full of hardships and tiredness. The old man died early. The old woman used her weak shoulders to stir up the burden on her family, and she brought up her grandmother and uncle by herself.

In every young generations mind, Lao Tai represents hardworking, brave and kindhearted. I remember once, when our family just had dinner, the old lady raised her sleeves and stretched out her bare hands and exposed hands to wash dishes for us. I asked, "old man, why is your hand so ugly?" grandma heard to me: "children, we can grow up, we can go to school and be educated, all by the old mans hands to wash clothes for others to earn money." After hearing this from grandma, I hung my head from guilt. The old lady said, "when you catch up with the good times, we must cherish and study well, and become a useful person for the future." In my memory, no matter when, old woman wearing clothes are washed clean, please tell them. Wearing a neat, spiritual God.

I will always remember that old lady often visited her before she died. She was lying in bed weakly. Her eyes had lost their former beauty. But I can feel her sadness and bring to us on several good expectations from his old eyes.

Before the tomb of Lao Tai, we lifted the weeds, planted the soil and placed flowers on them. I also sprinkled the old ladys favorite wine around the grave.

I stood in front of Lao Tais grave and said softly, "old lady, are you okay in heaven?"

我的暑假生活多姿多彩。因为我选择学习了一些兴趣班。

其中，我最爱学古筝，因为它的音调好似行云流水、小溪潺潺、鸟儿鸣叫，若是让资深者弹上一曲，你定会沉浸其中，无法自拔。即使是喧嚣的城市，添上古筝的调儿，也会显得异常宁静，祥和，便有了古代那种让人陶醉的氛围。伤心时，来一曲《小白菜》陪你落泪;兴奋时，来一首《老六板》和你同乐;春天到了，就来一曲《杨柳青》吧;入夜了，弹一首《静悄悄》吧;看到农民伯伯开心得收成农作物，那就来一曲《愉快的劳动》。筝曲伴我度过欢乐、悲伤、忧郁的每一天!

暑假生活自然也少不了因为自然气候而特别的时候。

我的暑假生活充满了艺术气息，充满了特别氛围，我喜爱我的暑假生活!

农历五月初五，是中国民间的传统节日——端午节，它是中华民族古老的传统节日之一。端午也称端五，端阳。此外，端午节还有许多别称，如：午日节、重五节，五月节、浴兰节、女儿节，天中节、地腊、诗人节、龙日等等。虽然名称不同，但总体上说，各地人民过节的习俗还是同多于异的。

过端午节，是中国人二千多年来的传统习惯，由于地域广大，民族众多，加上许多故事传说，于是不仅产生了众多相异的节名，而且各地也有着不尽相同的习俗。其内容主要有：女儿回娘家，挂钟馗像，迎鬼船、躲午，帖午叶符，悬挂菖蒲、艾草，游百病，佩香囊，备牲醴,赛龙舟，比武，击球，荡秋千，给小孩涂雄黄，饮用雄黄酒、菖蒲酒，吃五毒饼、咸蛋、粽子和时令鲜果等，除了有迷信色彩的活动渐已消失外，其余至今流传中国各地及邻近诸国。有些活动，如赛龙舟等，已得到新的发展，突破了时间、地域界线，成为了国际性的体育赛事。

关于端午节的由来，说法甚多，诸如：纪念屈原说;纪念伍子胥说 ;纪念曹娥说;起于三代夏至节说;恶月恶日驱避说，吴月民族图腾祭说等等。以上各说，各本其源。据学者闻一多先生的《端午考》和《端午的历史教育》列举的百余条古籍记载及专家考古考证，端午的起源，是中国古代南方吴越民族举行图腾祭的节日，比屈原更早。但千百年来，屈原的爱国精神和感人诗辞，已广泛深入人心，故人们“惜而哀之，世论其辞，以相传焉”，因此，纪念屈原之说，影响最广最深，占据主流地位。在民俗文化领域，中国民众把端午节的龙舟竞渡和吃粽子等，都与纪念屈原联系在一起。

时至今日，端午节仍是中国人民中一个十分盛行的隆重节日
