兴趣爱好英语作文初中【合集20篇】

每个人都有着自己独特的兴趣爱好，我也不例外。我的兴趣爱好就是玩电脑。

我非常喜欢玩电脑，这已经成为了我的一大嗜好，怎么戒也戒不掉，这是大家有目共睹的。有一次，我们放学了。我回到家，“啪”的一下把书包扔在沙发上，跑到电脑前，目不转睛地盯着电脑屏幕。

第二天，凌晨五点时，我像是得了保证似的，“嗖”的一下从床上蹿了下来，以迅雷不及掩耳之速穿上衣服，像一支离弦的箭一样，一下子蹿到电脑前，坐下来，除了吃饭和上厕所，我的眼睛一直不离开屏幕，屁股一直不离开椅子，手一直不离开鼠标。总是一直玩到晚上10点才恋恋不舍地关上电脑，去睡觉了。现在，我已经因为电脑戴上了眼镜，老师和妈妈也经常提醒我，不要再玩电脑了，再玩电脑你的眼睛就成什么样了。可是我还是戒不掉玩电脑这个嗜好。每天晚上睡觉前，我每次都下定决心，不能再玩电脑了，可是，不知不觉，这个决心就动摇了，早晨5点时，我总是会情不自禁地醒来，穿上衣服，坐到电脑前，拿起鼠标，玩起电脑来。

我还非常喜欢听音乐。有一次，我听到了一首激情的歌曲，就情不自禁的哼起来。玩电脑时，我总不忘配上几首音乐。

这就是我的兴趣爱好，虽然玩电脑个爱好不是很好，但是，我想戒也戒不掉。

Since I was very small, my parents often took me to the animal zoo. I have

seen many animals and opened my vision. But as I grew up, I started to realize

that it was not reasonable to keep the animals in the zoo. They belong to the

nature and should live in the forest. But it is human nature that capture them

and then keep them in the zoo for earning money. Nowadays, animal park is

advised to be built. It can protect the animals in the nature, at the same time,

people can see the animals. It is better than the old zoo. Animals and human are

part of nature, and both share the same right to survive.

I remember it like yesterday.We were all waiting patiently for my father to come home from the race track.He promised me and my sister that if he won,he would take us all to Rye Playland.

The minutes felt like hours.It was the longest hour of my life.Then finally we heard the car door shut.Me and my sister ran to the front door anxiously waiting for the news.He opened the door and walked in.We tried to read the expression on his face but of course he was looking down while taking his sneakers off.

The suspense was killing us.Then he looked up.No words were spoken between us and our father.He just gave us a blank stare.I didnt know what to think.I was scared to ask because I was so worried of the response.

A Present For Mother’s Birthday.

Everyone should give his mother a present when his mother’s birthday is

coming. It is 25th May Sunday. Today is Han Mei’s mother’s birthday. So she

wanted to give her mother a special present. What present should she give? Maybe

a bunch of flowers a birthday card are the best presents. A card is cheaper. But

it is bad for trees. The more I buy cards, the more trees will be cut by people.

So what another present should she give? Let me tell you this present.

It was five o’clock. It was time to surprise her mother. When Han Mei’s

mother came home, Han Mei said Happy Birthday to her mother. Then she cleaned

her mother’s feet. As you can see, her mother was very surprise.

Why do you think it was a good present?

Our class have had a discussion about whether we can use mobile phones.

Some students think it is good to use mobile phones because they can take

photos with them in our daily life. They can also listen to music to relax

themselves in free time. Besides, using mobile phones makes it easy to keep in

touch with their parents and friends.

But some others dont think so. They think students shouldnt use mobile

phones. Using mobile phones too much is bad for their eyes and its a waste of

time to chat with friends. Sometimes some students use mobile phones to play

games. It will have a bad effect on study.

In my opinion, I think wed better not use mobile phones. We should spend

more time on our study instead of using mobile phones.

[万圣节初中英语作文

People always say that we are lacking of the eyes of realizing the beauty in life. I can’t agree with it anymore. Last week, I woke up very early in the morning, so I decided to take a walk. The street was very quiet and there were many old people dancing in the square. Without many cars, I realized the city looked so clean and beautiful. Some coffee shops decorates so well, which attrated my eyes. The city was coverd by the green trees, which made it a green city. I liked this feeling so much. At this moment, I found the city was so lovely, I just ingored its beauty usually.

人们总是说我们缺乏发现实现生活中的美丽的眼睛。我十分同意。上周,我早上很早就醒了,所以我决定出去散步。街上很安静,有很多老人在广场上跳舞。街上没有了很多小车,我意识到这个城市看起来那么干净和漂亮。一些咖啡店装修很好,吸引了我的眼球。这座城市被绿色的树木覆盖着,这是一个绿化放的城市。我很喜欢这种感觉。这时,我发现这个城市是如此的可爱,平常我忽略了它的美。

Pollution around us

In recent years our life is becoming better and better. But our environment is becoming worse and worse. Its very bad for our life. Now many people have air-conditioners and cars, they produce (give off ) waste gas. More and more trees are being cut down. There are so much sand on the earth (leaving only sand ) . We often see factories pour waste into rivers or lakes. Water in the river is quite dirty. We havent enough clean water to drink in cities. Now we are in danger. Its very necessary and important to protect the environment well. I think if everyone tries his best to protect the environment, the world will become much more beautiful , and our life will be better and better .

我们周围的污染

近年来我们的生活越来越好。但是，我们的环境越来越糟。它对我们的生活很糟糕。现在很多人都有空调和汽车，他们生产的（出）废气。越来越多的树被砍伐。有那么多的沙子在地球（只留下沙）。我们经常看到工厂把废水倒入河流或湖泊。河里的水很脏。我们没有足够的干净的水的城市。现在我们有危险。这是非常必要和重要的保护好环境。我想，如果每个人都尽自己最大的努力去保护环境，世界将变得更加美丽，我们的生活会越来越好。

二十多年的作文教学整合实践，虽然取得了可喜的成绩，但也遇到许多的困惑。一直在困惑中不断地探索。这种困惑，在新课程改革的大环境下，依然存在着。为此，有必要对作文教学整合实践进行反思，以便更深入地探索和研究作文教学整合，实现作文教学和学生作文回归自然，返朴归真。

1．作文教学，教师的作文素养有待提高。众所周知，作文的评价受多方面因素的影响。首先受教师的写作水平、个人素养、思想观念等的影响。为什么同一篇作文，不同的教师会给不同的评价，而且评价的差距很大？这很大程度受语文教师的语文素质的制约。而这种制约很大程度上影响学生的作文兴趣，容易造成错误的或者是朦胧的作文行为导向。今年，辅导学生参加教育部、团中央和全国少工委联合举办的“新童谣、儿童诗歌”征集活动。学生写了大量的作品。在学校里，教师们对这些作品的评价都不一、而得到老师们好的评价的作品竟然没有在这次比赛中获奖，被遗忘的作品《青蛙歌》竟在比赛中获得了二等奖。等到比赛获奖消息传来，教师们才如梦方醒，对《青蛙歌》仔细的分析，才感觉到这首歌确有许多优秀的地方。这说明，老师在评价学生作文的过程中是有一定的偏差的。这种评价的偏差不仅存在于重大的作文赛事中，特别普遍存在于平时的成绩测试中。常在期中和期终考试阅卷中出现好的作文得低分，而抄袭、生硬模仿的作文得高分的现象。这一定程度了损害学生的利益，也为学生的成长产生了一定和障碍。出现这种现象的原因有多种：与老师的作文素养有直接的关系，与语文教师的作文教学教风和文风也不无关系，与应试教育“分分分是命根的”管理影响分不开。基于此，提高中小学教师的写作水平，端正中小学教师文风、作文教学的教风便是教育教学管理中的重要工作。如若在这一方面进行实践操作性的研究，并在政策等方面支撑，作文教学整合的路将会更加的宽广。

2．亟待改变学生作文的文风。二十年前我在一所乡中心小学任语文教师。当时学生想抄作文根本没途径，因为没有可抄写的作文选供他们抄。他们所写的作文大都是自我发现，自我心灵的抒发……时至今日，学生的作文抄袭之风盛行，大有无法遏制之势。每次接任新的班级（一般从三年级接任语文教学），总是发现学生作文抄袭现象，而总是下大精力对这种抄袭行为进行纠正，总是收效甚微。细细分析原因有以下几点：首先，小学是作文起步阶段，学生的生活经历缺乏，作文基本常识也几乎是零。对于仍处于应试教育管理环境中的他们来说，抄袭无遗将减轻他们的精神压力。其次，大量的作文选为学生抄袭提供了一定的方便。这些作文选有的不泛为学生作文中的精品，但有相当一部分是在学生作文基础上教师的再加工。加工过的学生作文几乎失去了童真，语言也趋于成人化了。这些作文一旦被处于作文最低级阶段，渴盼考高分的小学生们阅读，加上作文评价体系的不完善和家长们的趋分不良心态以及没有制止和控制这抄袭行为的有效措施，作文选必将成为他们抄袭或模仿的范本，且有蔓延的趋势，至今仍表现出很强的势头。因此，切实转变小学生作文观念和扭转不良文风迫在眉睫。

3．教材编排和教学时间的安排应该为作文教学和学生作文提供更宽松的环境。教材编排应该充分地考虑儿童的语言接受能力，以儿童生活为主要素材，即便是历史性的或是儿童陌生的，也应该以儿童的特点为圈改编，使其适合少年儿童接受。教材编排还应该预留足够的时间，让教师教学有时间的保障。作文教学不是一堂课、两堂课就能完成的，往往要开展一定的社会实践活动，如：调查、参观、游览、动手制作等相配合。如果教材编排内容多，时间短，一不利于教师教学，使作文教学就像夹生饭一样，半生不熟；二不利于学生的作文，对于处于作文低级阶段的小学生来说，其作文经历必将是一个比较长的时间，而且又需要一个引导的过程，初次作文的夹生将让他们失去兴趣，久而久之，厌作文的情绪自然而生，将是一个无法改变的顽症。反之有时间的保证，学生作文将更加的宽松，兴趣将会更浓。本人在95年开展的直钩钓鱼作文全程教学（见案例），就用了四课时的时间指导。学生在活动中的那种激情，作文中的精彩片段至今天令我难忘。可是把此教学的方案送去评选时却遭遇了冷落。原因是课时不符合大纲两课时的要求。而要是按照两课时来教学，是无法达到如此效果的。

4．教育教学管理也是一个很重要的因素。我国中小学教育教学管理的水平还很落后，特别是农村中小学校的管理。本人长期在农村中小学任教。对中小学的管理现状令人痛心而无耐。主要表现为：管理队伍的整体素质低，前几年，中小学办学经费投入不足，大部分中小学校长一心为钱而忙，忽视教育教学管理，对教育教学研究只搞形式，这对作文教学的研究自然也是有一定影响的；管理的制度不合理，有的学校对教师的作文教学研究成果不仅予肯定，反而想方设法打击，如：语文教师组织学生参加正规的征文比赛，在学生中产生了一定的积极影响，一定程度上激发了学生的作文热情，有利于作文教学的开展，可是获得的成绩如在报刊发表等，学校不认可，在职称评定和学校评先进中也不算数。这些管理的行为已经与新课标的有关理念和有关政策相悖，是作文教学整合的一块绊脚石。因些，加强中小学校校长的选拔工作十分重要，应该将那些教育教学行家提拔到中小学校的管理队伍中来，让中小学真的的姓教。这样的管理环境中，作文教学整合才会放出更绚丽的光彩

5．政策不能制约教师教育教学的个性发展。教育政策是为了为了保障教育有序和更好的发展，对维护师生利益，提高教育质量，实现国家未来的富强都是有必要的。但是政策的制定不能限制教师教育教学的个性发展，对教育政策的理解也不能过于片面化。这将直接导致教师教育教学行为的僵化甚至被禁锢，走上应试教育老路。举几个现实例子来说一说。

教师没有权力组织学生订阅报刊，只有上级主管部门才能向学校向学生推荐。往往推荐的是主管部门主办的报刊，又是班级人手一册，组织订阅了也不组织使用为教育教学服务。这就不是一种合理的教育教学行为。因为：（1）少儿报刊不是教材，没必要人手一册，那是一种资源的浪费。（2）少儿、课外阅读应该广泛，单一的阅读势必造成课外知识的单一；（3）少年儿童思想活跃，爱好不一，他们有自己选择课外阅读书目的自由；（4）教师教学的风格也不一，教师向学生推荐课外读物有利于教师的教学风格与教学行为的默契，达到最佳的教学效果。（5）教育教学是需要大量素材来支撑的。信息时代的来临，教师教学不能再坐井观天式，必须搜集和使用大量的材料来辅助教学，而这些材料的来源一大部分要来自适全少年儿童阅读的报刊中。当然，有的教师向学生推荐报刊书目是为了挣点外块，这毕竟是少数，大部分教师还是从教育教学需要出发而为之的。关键是我们的政策和管理。做为一名教师，连最起码的教育教学份内的事儿都不能为之，还需要政府及主管部门的约定束成，可想而之，教育教学的自由空间会有多大。为此呼吁：给教师教育教学的自主空间。

编辑短评：作者有着清醒的认识，本文从实际出发，针对作文教学的现状及教材编制、教学管理等方面存在的问题提出了反思，所言中肯，具有普遍意义，建议广大教师一读。

步入初中，认识了许多同学和老师。我有很多个老师，每个老师各自的性格特点也不同，比如数学老师，喜欢执着;历史老师，和蔼可亲……

但是在这些老师中，我最喜欢英语老师。他有火一样蓬勃的头发，表示出他那活泼的性格;他有一张爱笑的脸，散露出他诙谐幽默的心态;深邃的眼睛略带蓝色，有一种不能不让人笑的感觉，整个描写出他活泼幽默的性格。

一次上课，英语老师一边上网查歌，一边叫我们读单词。过了一会儿，单词读完了歌也下完了。老师就打开歌词，打开千千静听放歌。老师说：“我们来唱首歌吧!叫Bingo!”说完，老师用手拿起指挥棒，走了下来，一边指挥着我们，一边唱歌。大家都非常感兴趣，尤其是唱到“B——i——n——g——o!”的时候，老师唱得非常大声，脸上洋溢着笑容，手摇来摇去，嘴巴成“O”形，身体倾斜着。我们看到这幅情景，笑得前仰后俯的。歌唱完了，老师不慌不忙地说：“现在我们来做一个小游戏吧!首先，先抄好25个单词，之后我再念单词，念到你写的那个单词你就画一下，当你连续画了五个并排单词时，你就喊‘Bingo’!有奖励加分的哦!懂不懂?”之后，我们兴致勃勃地抄好了单词，等待着老师来报。英语老师故意地清清嗓子，提醒我们快开始了，要做好准备。可是我们却被老师这个动作搞得哈哈大笑起来……

随着第一个单词的开始，大家都在认真地画单词。20秒钟过后，教室里突然响起一声“Bingo”，刚要下讲台的老师的脚步停在了半空中，眼睛瞪得大大的，吃惊地望着那位喊“Bingo”的同学，愣了几秒才说话：“哇，你也太幸运了吧，我才报了5个，你一下子就Bingo了，太牛了吧!加分!”之后一个个Bingo声响起了，可把英语老师围地团团转的。英语老师说：“怎么这么多呀!我都快忙不过来了!”“铃铃铃”下课了，我笑嘻嘻地对老师说：“老师，您这下可以轻松轻松了啊!”老师听了，哈哈地笑了。

哈哈，这就是我们幽默活泼的英语老师了，怎么样，羡慕不?

I like to make friends a lot, because I like to share opinions with them.

But I find it is hard to find an ideal friend. Most people just like to hang out

with you. If you want to share profound information, they will stay quiet. I am

so eager to find an ideal friend. Firstly, he can share the same interest with

me. I like to read books and watch movies. I always want someone who can discuss

about the detail, which will be so amazing. Secondly, he must be considerate.

Sometimes I will forget about the time and place because I have something urgent

to do, if he is considerate, our friendship can last forever.

Yesterday s weather is really gratifying.

Early morning, I just got up, I heard "rumbling ... ..." thunder, I look out the window, the sky is as low as the hand can touch to touch.

Soon, a rain dripping up, like silk, like cattle hair. This is a timely rain, because a few days ago just experienced a dust storm, this rain enough to clean all the dust. thats nice!

Autumn is like a shy girl is the same as the earth father and son pouring thoughts.

This is like a rain of rain under a rain, a burst of pouring rain pouring down, and soon, the playground has become a vast ocean. Rainwater on the campus merged into a stream, they like an appointment like the same direction to catch, gradually in the playground low sink into a lake, the middle of the big puddle has become the central island of the lake. More interesting! Rain or keep the next, the rain dripping on the water cheerful dance.

The rain finally stopped, the rain was fine, the sun and the public can not wait to face from the gloomy dark clouds behind the girl jumped out. Suddenly, the sky is a bright and clean, like washed the same, the air is fresh and fresh, the distance of the scene also see more clearly. Especially the flowers, become particularly bright, and they winked to the people waving; that lovely little grass, green Yingying, who hung with emerald, swaying in the breeze, posing a fresh breath; In front of the tree that cover the old pine trees, just after the bath has become particularly spiritual, stretching the arm to welcome the sun father ... ...

Autumn rain, I love you, you will always be wiped out in my mind impetuous and arrogant.

It is believed that the computer is bringing the world into a brand new

era. At the time the computer was invented, scientists, marveling at its

calculating speed, felt that they had created a miracle. Nowadays, the function

of the computer is no longer confined to calculation; it permeates people’s

daily lives and has become an inseparable part of human society.

People become so heavily dependent on computers that it is hard to imagine

the life without computers. Therefore, some people are worried that “The real

danger is not that the computer will think like man, but man will think like the

computer.”

Their concern does make sense. Indeed, some people spend such a long time

working on computers that they have few interactions with people in real life.

According to a research, too many hours in front of a computer may lead to a

poker face and interpersonal isolation. This fact should arouse our attention,

because unlike computers, human beings are social creatures that need emotional

connections with others.

Yet, it is also unnecessary for us to be overwhelmed by the negative

impacts of computers. After all, we humans are intelligent and will be able to

figure out better ways to make improvements.

我经历过许许多多的事，可是令我难以忘记的却很少很少。今天，我就要讲一件让我难以忘怀的小事。

那是暑假里的一天，我学完了电子琴，妈妈带我去姥姥家。路上，我心中好烦，由于好几次都没有弹好老师布置的作业，我对弹好电子琴失去了信心，于是我就对妈妈说：“妈妈，我不想学电子琴了。”妈妈沉默了半晌问：“为什么?”我回答：“我可能永远学不会电子琴，所以我不想再学了，再说，我本来对电子琴也没兴趣。”妈妈反过来问我，“那你对学习有兴趣吗?”我一下呆住了，学习是我应该做的事，不能因为没有兴趣而不学习，我反驳说。妈妈接着说：“兴趣有两种，一种是直接兴趣，是由对一个事物的好奇而产生的，这种兴趣不会持续太久;另一种是间接兴趣，是为了实现目标而引起的，持续时间长。要想在某方面有成就，只凭好奇是不行的，必须有适合自已的目标，然后向着目标不断努力，怎么可以三天打鱼，两天晒网呢?”

听了妈妈的话，我惭愧不已，暗暗下决心，一定要把电子琴练好，同时，我也明白要在各门功课上取得好成绩，就必须严格要求自已，永不放弃。

这件事永远刻在我的心中，鼓励我在今后的人生道路上要充满信心，永往直前。

Young volunteers

Lu Hao is a middle school student in Guizhou, who joined the “1 helps 1” program of the Youth Volunteer Community Development Project last year. Every Tuesday and Friday he visits an old man who lives alone. “Mr. Zhao is weak and cannot do much for himself, so I give him some help. I help do some shopping, do some housework, or read the newspaper to him as his eyesight is not good.” He said.

Meng Yu is studying for her master’s degree in Canada. She has a busy timetable, but still finds time for voluntary activities during the weekends. “Last month I took part in an event to help hungry children in some of the less developed villages. Twenty-two of us went without food for 30 hours! It was a challenge, but we could drink as much as we liked and we had a doctor there, so it was not dangerous. We wanted to improve awareness of hunger because every day children are dying of starvation. It was a great success. The local newspaper and TV reported it and we received many donations.”

Lu Hao, Lin Ying and Meng Yu are all helping to make other people’s lives better. Would you like to make a difference by becoming a volunteer?
