全文共 925 字
+ 加入清单于我们而言,正确地认识我们本身的优势和不足是非常重要的,其原因在于它有助于我们提高自身,我们应该自省并且学会认识我们自己是谁
It is important to know our good and bad points because this knowledge will help us to improve ourself. We should examine ourselves and learn who we are.
在自我认识当中,最重要的就是认识自己的优势和不足。举例而言,我是一个身体健康的人,由于这个原因,我可以非常努力地去工作。同时我乐观、谦和并且有礼貌。这些是我的优势。同时,我也存在一些不足。首先就是我脾气有点倔,而且缺乏耐心。在一些时候我也会犯懒,也许有时整天在看电视和吃垃圾食品。可是有这些缺点,我却并不觉得怎样羞愧,因为我了解到了他们,促进我提高了自身
Above all, we should recognize our strengths and weaknesses. For example, I am healthy and fit, so I can work hard. Im also optimistic, humble and polite. These are my strengths. However, I also have weaknesses. For one thing, Im stubborn and a little impatient. Im sometimes lazy as well and can spent a whole day just watching TV and eating junk food. Im not ashamed to admit these bad pints. Knowing what they are lets me focus on improving myself.

篇6:初中英语说明文写作要点
全文共 1976 字
+ 加入清单说明文是阐述事物的特征、本质、性能、结构、用途或科学原理的一种文体。其说明的对象可以是具体的,如:自然环境,仪表设备等;也可以是抽象的,如概念定律等。以下是小编整理的初中英语说明文写作要点,欢迎阅读!
说明文的写作相对于论说文来说,有一定的套路可循,因此不是十分复杂。说明科技方面的内容常用定义法、比较对比法、分类法、因果法等;说明自然环境方面的内容常用时间次序法、分类法等。当然,随着对象的不同,具体应该采用的方法也会有所不同。
说明文的写作应该注意的事项有下面几点:
1.语言简明扼要,通俗易懂,避免夸张华丽的辞藻,要把真实的一面展现在读者面前。
2.说明时一定要把握一个中心主题。说明文中细枝末节较多,但不能喧宾夺主。
3.说明的次序非常重要。合理的次序会使文章条理清楚,脉络明晰。因此,练习时可以尝试不同的次序进行写作,找出最合理的一种。
4.由于说明文写实性较强,有时难免会让人感到没有生气。因此,可以适当使用一些比喻、拟人等修辞手段,来增加文章的色彩。
下面是一篇说明一所医院布局的文章。文章虽短,但需要说明的内容却达11处之多。平均一句话就要描写一处,如果组织得不好,便会给人凌乱的感觉。
为了避免这一点,文章把整个布局图分三部分来写:
贯彻医院的是main road,第一部分以大门为参照物,介绍了靠大门且通过main road东西相对的急诊楼和门诊楼。
第二部分以湖为参照物,中心线还是main road,介绍其他分诊楼、实验室、放射室等。
第三部分写main road尽头的建筑物。
这样,繁多的细节显得井井有条。因此,选择好主线及参照物是决定文章成功的关键。

篇8:假期补英语的生活初中作文
全文共 504 字
+ 加入清单这几年,许多同学都在假期补课,而且从来没有补过,由于我喜欢玩,不喜欢学习。眼看着新的假期又要来了,我们班上的许多同学都在报名被课。有的同学喜欢补数学;有的同学喜欢补作文;大多数同学喜欢补英语,由于英语太难啦!对我来讲,英语好像从来没有及格过,看着同学们都积极学习的样子,我也有些心动了。
由于去年假期,同学们都在补课,没有人和我玩,我现在想还不如去和他们一起补课算了,那么选哪一门课呢?后来想了一想,我就决定补自己最差的英语了。那天,我报了名,英语老师说:“凤凤,你早就得补你的英语了,这次来一定要好好学,其实英语一点都不难!”听了英语老师的话,我的心里别提多兴奋了。
到了补课其间,我们每个人都准备了新的笔记本,将老师讲的每一个要点都记了下来。因为在这里补课的同学还有其他班上的同学,所以学习热情很高涨,我也不好意思玩了。别的同学做什么,我就做什么,反正自己也没有好的学英语方法,所以现在就是我最好的学习机会。
差不多一个月的时间,我的英语水平提高了许多,最后的测试分数不再是倒数第一,我终于进步了。当我拿着成绩让爸爸妈妈看进,他们一直夸我有进步,并要继续努力。当时,我的心里乐滋滋的,非常感谢假期补英语的生活。
篇9:怀念的英语作文初中
全文共 1382 字
+ 加入清单He always rose early to enjoy at least two hours of solitude in the house
and garden before the rest of the family came down In winter he spent most of
the time reading and writing. In sum mer he liked to get out of doors to work in
the kitchen garden or to take the dog for a walk in the neighbouring woods and
fields Whatever the weather, there was plenty to occupy him.
Although he was a creature of habit, there seemed to be an infinite variety
in his pursuits. He wrote book reviews regularly for two of the national
weeklies. He worked conscientiously his special subject, Indian History, and was
thus one of the world authorities on it;
he collected modern abstract paintings and so had a circle of friends
amongst artists and sculptors; there was hardly anything he did not know about
traditional jazz and he often entertained both British and America n jazz
musicians He was a superb cook and knew a lot about French and German food.
His family adored him and in a sense he was spoiled by them. At first
glance you would have taken him for a retired army officer-his bearing was
erect, his hair was cut short, he was fussy about his clothes, which were always
neat, clean and conventional. He liked to keep fit, and this was reflected in
his clear, steady blue eyes and healthy suntanned complexion. He hardly ever
watched TV, but enjoyed a good film and an occasional evening at the
theatre.

全文共 755 字
+ 加入清单我有一个非常严厉的英语,老师我的英语老师姓郝,中等个,戴一副近视眼镜平时她一头如波浪线一样的美发,秀美且整洁,非常漂亮。
每天的英语课总有意象不道的知识,但是也有如水一样多的作业。我认为老师是为我们好,为了提高学习成绩,为了拿着一份满意的分数,为了打好英语的基础。老师您辛苦了,您劳累了。
老师您知道吗?记得初一上册,我是一个错单词很多小女孩,有一次您找我谈话,对我教育告诉我记单词的方法,通过和您与我的谈话启发了我,与现在相比我的错单词是越来越少,奥秘也一点一滴积累。老师我谢谢您!
其实每次您布置的作业避免很多。也会遭遇许多同学的默默言辞,但是我明白您是有您的道理的,您也为我们花了不少时光,您也为我们操出了几根银丝。
在我心中有一支永不熄灭的蜡烛,永远燃烧着生命之火,永远都充满着生机与活力,这支蜡烛是不是很像在我们身边的一位很值得我们敬佩的人呢?他在课上给我们讲做人的道理;在课后是我们的益友,如果同学遇到不明白的问题,她还会耐心地教导我们,没错,他就是我们的老师,“蜡烛时刻在提醒着我们,要处处为他人着想。”这也许是老师常说的吧!
一年了,老师曾为了我们掉过多少“珍珠”?而我们呢?却时常惹她生气,心中真是难过,也很后悔:我,一名中学生,没有全身心地努力。老师,我想对您说:“您为我们操劳,任劳任怨;您带我们进入知识的海洋,在那里遨游,使我们懂得书中的乐趣;您精心备课,与我们一起品味书中美妙的午餐;您如好朋友似的关切我们;是您,是您,还是您!您像一根红烛,为后辈奉献出所有的光和热!您的品质和精神,可以用两个字来形容那就是——燃烧!不停的燃烧!您像一只会说话的小鸟,来为我们讲课,是那么得丰富多彩,每一个章节都仿佛在我面前打开了一扇窗户,让我看到了一个斑斓的新世界……
老师谢谢您!

随着终点的临近,拉拉队的助威声也越来越高,一阵盖过一阵。只剩下最后50米了,出人意料的情况发生了。只见第二跑道129班的小庆突然加快了速度,他冲刺的速度极快,似流星赶月般超过一个又一个……在最后10米处超过了跑在最前面的小波,朝终点奔去,随着小庆穿越终点,赛场四周响起了一片欢呼声。129班的同学蹦啊!跳啊!别提有多高兴了!

+ 加入清单Most people miss their grade school days and think they are the happiest time of their life, but whenever I recall them I cannot help feeling a little sad. In my young days I disliked any dismal atmosphere and could not bear the feeling of loneliness, yet the fact was that I often lived in a dismal home and frequently had the bitter taste of lonesomeness. I was not cheerful even in the company of my classmates at the grade school I attended. When I was alone at home the dismal atmosphere often filled me with fear even though thought here went to work in the morning but always came later than I did. For a young person like me t was too bad. Not until I was about sixteen years old had I outgrown t feeling of fear. Then there was that nagging feeling of loneliness either at home of at school. My father changed his job several times and with each change of his job we had to move and I had to attend a different grade school. Before I finished my elementary education I had attended three grade schools and thus it was difficult for me to cultivate enduring friendships. The feeling of being friendless was a constant source of pain to me. Those unhappy grade school days have of course long been over. I still have an abhorrence for any dismal atmosphere and lonesomeness, but hardened by experience I now find them less disturbing than they were.
