假如你是英国学生PETER在北京学习,请按下文给你的朋友MARY写一封谈一下北京和伦敦的异同相同点:北京和伦敦都是首都和重要城市,都拥有众多人口,都是国家经济 政治 文化中心,都拥有许多历史,文化古迹不同点:伦敦;汽车靠左行小学作文 ,很多人坐汽车上班 阴天多 懂汉语人少 学生不充分利用时间

Dear Mary,

I have been living in Beijing for some time now and I find it very interesting here.

There are so many similarities between Beijing and London. They are both the capital of the country and are both very important cities. Both places have huge populations. They are both the economical, political and cultural center. They both have many historical and cultrual

I also found many differences in the two cities. In London we drive on the left side of the road, while in Beijing they drive on the right side. Most people in London go to work via public transportation, here in Beijing most people rides bycicles. In London the weather is always cloudy, here in Beijing most the the time it s sunny. And in London most student don t spend their time efficiently, but here in Beijing many people speak English cause they study hard.

Regards,

Peter

篇1:再见苏州初中3年级作文

全文共 1320 字

第一次相识苏州,带着强烈的震撼和深深的遗憾离开。

XX年11月,一次偶然的机缘,我有幸在苏州呆了整整4天。4天时间,呆在一个城市,按理,可以将这个城市的山山水水、人文景致,访个遍走个尽。可惜4天时间差不多就在两个地方呆着,一是宾馆,二是学校。我是带着“使命”去的。学校老师到苏州赛课,我陪同服务。当天下午一到,就全身心的投入到赛课的准备之中。第二天观摩其他老师赛课,收集赛课信息。第三天下午赛课,与其他选手交流。第四天颁奖、闭幕结束已经接近中午12点。从学校到苏州之前就已经将往返机票定好,留给我们的时间就只有一个下午。

想去的地方很多。周庄、寒山寺、拙政园都是不错的选择。周庄太远,半天时间无异是对周庄的亵渎;体验张继“夜半钟声听客船”的美妙意境须在晚上,时间不允;看看苏州园林倒是最好的选择。

对苏州的向往,最早源于叶圣陶的《苏州园林》。“苏州园林甲天下”,到了苏州不看园林,等于没到苏州。吃罢午饭,我们就直奔拙政园,叶圣陶的《苏州园林》主要就是以拙政园为模本写成的,看苏州园林,拙政园是首选。

拙政园,一个私家园林,实在太大了,太奢华了,太个性了。最妙,给我印象最深的,是整个园林建筑构思的精妙。在东园和西园之间,时时会见到中间镶嵌有雕花镂窗的长廊或回廊,将两园隔而未隔,界而未界。走在两园里,若想将整个园子纳入视野之中一网打尽而不得,但一个个镂窗却又有意无意地将园子里的美妙景致时不时送入你的眼中,真有点欲看不得,不看不能的诱人韵味。在园子的中轴线上,园外几里地建有一座塔,在园中游着游着,不经意抬头一看,哇!园中什么时候突然冒出一座塔来,令人惊喜不已。这样的借景手法在拙政园中时时可以鉴赏到。为了让园子一年四季季季有生气,天天有花香,西园在东南西北四个方向分别修建了春夏秋冬四个小园,春看牡丹,夏赏绿荷,秋采金菊,冬闻梅香,是别有一番风味。“见山楼”更妙,它建造在假山旁,水中央,虽说是楼,却偏偏楼上楼下不相通。从下面平地进去,像上了船;从上面山路进去,像登了山。推开窗户,四面眺望,远山近水尽在眼底,心胸格外开阔。

两个小时倍觉短暂,带着一种深深的震撼离开拙政园,带着与苏州这座旅游城市真正只有两个小时的亲密接触的遗憾结束了第一次苏州之行。

再见苏州,是在XX年的7月。

跟随“江南夏令营”“跟着课本游江南”,7月13日上午乘车感受了杭州湾跨海大桥的奇伟壮观,傍晚抵达苏州。14日,计划游览“枫桥夜泊景区”和“狮子林”,正和我意。

怀揣“月落乌啼霜满天,江枫渔火对愁眠”的亲切和诗意,14日上午9点,我们来到了枫桥景区。

对我而言,枫桥景区的一切喧嚣、铺张和虚张声势,枫桥、江村桥、寒山寺的钟声,都成了张继的背景。我只想亲临当年张继“月落乌啼”时失眠的那条河,那只船,那束渔火,去体味他的落魄、失意、孤独、无奈,去感觉他是如何吟出脍炙人口的《枫桥夜泊》的。

脚下少有流连,跨过短短的听钟桥,一个平台旁看似码头却不是码头的水边,随意躺着一叶扁舟,那水似清似浊,不甚宽阔。如果不是平台上斜躺着的那幅雕塑明明白白用文字标着“张继”二字,我根本不敢相信这个地方就是《枫桥夜泊》的出生之地;我完全不能接受,这就是我心中翘望的枫桥?12

篇2:雾霾英语年级

全文共 1543 字

+ 加入清单

Recently, the haze weather has increasingly been serious and this

phenomenon triggers the widespread concern towards air quality. In my view of

the point, the best way to improve air quality is to tax the owner of private

car.

There are reasons accounting for my view. To begin with, there is no

denying that gas emission of private car is a great evil of air pollution.

To tax the owner of private car will make some contribution to cut down gas

emission and improve air quality. Furthermore, the tax also has a great impact

on decreasing the rate of car’s increase. Those who have a plan to buy a car

will take the tax into account and some of them have to give up their plan. If a

lot of people can use public transportation instead of private cars, the air

quality will not be so rotten. In addition, taxing for private car is also a

warning of environment protection. The notion of environment protection will be

brought to public again and an increasing number of people will be awake to the

importance of air protection and environment protection and make effort to

protect it. Finally, the government can use the tax as funds of improving the

air quality, which will be a great help to raise fund.

Taking above into account, I believe that taxing the owner of private car

is the best way to improve air quality. Certainly, we can carry out other

methods to improve it at the same time, such as planting trees, developing

public transportation and so on. I advocate that all of us should take pains to

protect our environment and we will lead a better life.

篇3:印象最深的老师初中2年级作文

在我的生活中,有很多教过我的老师,其中给我印象最深的老师就要数我四年级的老师——朱老师了。

朱老师是教语文的,她长得很漂亮,有一头乌黑发亮的头发,还有一双炯炯有神的眼睛,一张能说会道的小嘴。

我们快乐的时候,朱老师也快乐;在我们不快乐的时候,朱老师就哄我们快乐。有一次,考试成绩发下来了。我们考得都不很理想,我们拿到试卷后,都很不高兴,心想:“这次回家肯定会被爸爸、妈妈吵一顿的。”朱老师见我们这样,叹了一口气,说:“阿弥陀佛,善哉!善哉!”逗得我们哄堂大笑。

朱老师有时候很严厉。有一次,我们上课总是说话,老师发怒了,让我们抄了20篇课文。我们写了一会儿,朱老师可能怕我们累了,说:“下次不要这样了。”然后就说:“不用抄了,再给你们一次机会。你们刚才肯定累坏了吧,先休息一会儿吧!”

朱老师的眼睛好像会说话一样。上课的时候,老师提问一个同学问题,那个同学是第一次回答问题,很紧张,老师看着他,似乎在说:“不要害怕,只要把你心里想的说出来就行了。”那位同学似乎不再害怕了,回答了问题。在我们乱说话的时候,老师用严厉的目光看着我们,似乎在说:“你们不要再说话了。”同学们便不说话了。

我喜欢朱老师,我真想一直让朱老师教下去。

篇4:有关交流英语作文初中

全文共 1956 字

+ 加入清单

Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live we must

communicate with other people.

A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by

the simple means of speech.

If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are

likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news

or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of

society.

Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and

during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one

of the dominating factors of contemporary society.

Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications,

photography, radio and television.

Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of

communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news,

which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.

No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged

minority.

In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed

fortunate, but today there are public libraries.

Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people

sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into

millions of homes.

Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of

information.

The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society

and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and

entertainment.

The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with

informing, educating and entertaining.

Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is

very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the

vast modern network of communications is open to abuse.

However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no

turning back.

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.

A good book not only brings happiness to people, but also comforts; it can

not only make you think deeply, but also enlighten you. A good book is a wise

man, a mentor, a friend, and a partner. My favorite thing is reading.

books also bring me much joy. I remember one time, my mother bought me

"Insects", the book records many insects and their habits. I couldnt put it

down, and when I got home, I picked up the book and read it with interest. When

I read the firefly insect, a beautiful scene immediately appeared in my mind: On

a summer night, I was walking in the park, and at this time, many fireflies were

flying around me. Illuminate the way forward... The more I think about it, the

more excited I am, and I read it more seriously. When I read about ants, an

insect, I couldnt help but be shocked by its unity. Together, ants can move

things that are several times heavier than them. I also feel that we must learn

from the spirit of ants. Reading and reading, I forgot the time. It wasnt until

my mother came to ask me to eat, I reluctantly put down the book and swallowed a

spit, as if swallowing wisdom into my stomach, my heart was still in the

colorful world of insects.

Gorky once said: "I am on books, like hungry people are on bread." Food

feeds only our bodies, and books feed our souls. Books can increase our

knowledge, broaden our horizons, and improve our writing skills; they can bring

us inspiration and happiness. "When the book is used, we hate less", so I think

we need to read more and read more books to make our achievements bloom like

sesame seeds.

Such a movie called “Growing Pains” seems full of knowledge and experience.

So it does because all of us have growing pains and also growing gains in our

lives.

Growing up is not a very enjoyable time. It means I have to work hard in

studying and in family. There’s always so much homework given by teachers and so

many arguments between the parents and me. The time is fair, but it seems it

gives pains three quarters and only one quarter to gains.

But gains give me power and confidence. Successes and friendship make me

happy and enjoyable. We played with snow in the winter that seldom snows, we

flew kites in the night that usually belongs to homework, we ate several ice

creams that almost made us cold. We picked up leaven that no longer high up!

Although pains are always more than gains, I believe both of them make my

life more colorful.

同志们:你们好!毒祸猛于虎,危害全民族!自从19世纪被英国殖民者在中国东南沿海偷运开始,毒品问题,已经困扰中华民族长达两百年之久,虽然在新中国成立后,毒品曾一度绝迹,改革开放后,毒品问题又沉渣泛起,如果任其发展,其后果可用著名的禁烟民族英雄林则徐的一句话形容国几无可御敌之兵,无可充饷之银,这决不是危言耸听。珍爱生命,拒绝毒品!

这八个字一针见血的指出了毒品对生命健康的危害,一个人一旦吸毒上瘾,无异于慢性自杀,毒品在腐蚀人的思想意志的同时也夺去了人体的健康。吸毒者四体不勤、脸色苍白,毒瘾发作时打呵欠,流鼻涕,如果此时得不到毒品,进而发展至烦躁不安、大喊大叫、甚至于歇斯底里、精神异常,而且吸毒者身体对毒品的依赖性不断增强。因此需要不断的加大用毒剂量,而缺乏医学常识的吸毒者往往因掌握不好剂量而一命呜呼,更何况还有因吸毒者共同注射针头而传染上如艾滋病等可怕的疾病。

再来算一笔经济帐,一个吸毒者每天至少需要吸食或注射0.1克,而0.1克黑市零售价是一百元,那么一个月就三、四千元,一年就是四、五万元。如此巨额的费用,搞得吸毒者家庭破裂,妻离子散,甚至于为筹措毒资,偷盗抢劫、绑架杀人,走上刑事犯罪的道路。现在社会上流通的毒品主要有、、、、,及其它一些国家管制的和品,这些毒品毒性大、成瘾性强,一旦成瘾,人体脱毒过程十分漫长,吸毒者戒了再吸、吸了再戒,反反复复,有人用一朝吸毒,终生戒毒来形容戒除毒瘾的难度,因此戒毒的最好办法就是绝不吸毒。青少年是父母的希望,他们因为思想不尚未成熟,社会经验不够丰富,自身免疫力较差,加上影视剧的渲染和社会不良分子的拉拢引诱,尝试吸毒最后成瘾难以自拔的事例屡见不鲜,一些青少年因青春期特有的叛逆心理或受家庭和学校压力太大,主动寻求刺激,缓解压力导致铸成大错的事例也大量存在,目前在国内、省内已经出现学生参予吸毒的现象,预防学生吸毒已经是迫在眉睫的一个重大问题,我市又受浙南经济发达地区的影响,其毒品向我市渗透不断加剧,这种局面的严重必须要引起家长的高度警惕。

在6.26禁毒宣传日到来之际,我们在此呼吁家长提高对毒品巨大危害性的认识,高度关注孩子们的精神生活,引导孩子们结交良师益友,希望通过我们共同的努力,为孩子们的成长铺一条平安大道,使他们的明天更加美好

The Spring Festival is a traditional festival for all Chinese people. On

that evening there is a very traditional ceremony----Spring Festival Gala, which

is the favorite for many people. It brings so much happiness to Chinese all

around the world .

When asked about their opinion on Spring Festival Gala, people always

reason differently. Some people deem that it should be cancelled, while there

are also other people who argue that it should be continued.

Some people take it for granted that the Gala should not exist because it

is too boring on the evening of the Lunar New Year. Besides, the form of the

Evening seems the same every year. In comparison, there are, however, a large

number of people who hold a different view concerning this issue, they insist

that the Gala must be continued. They argue that it is one of the most important

celebration customs. And they think the Gala is worth expecting.

As far as I am concerned, I am intending to stand on the side of the latter

group of people. Admittedly, the former point of view seems reasonable, but the

latter is more persuasive. Taking the above-mentioned factors into

consideration, I can safely conclude that the Gala just needs a reform in the

future but not to be cancelled.

篇15: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.

Knowledge can be acquired from many sources. These include books, teachers

and practical experience, and each has its own advantages. The knowledge we gain

from books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have no

opportunity to experience in daily life. We can study all the places in the

world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by reading

about them in books. We can also develop our analytical skills and learn how to

view and interpret the world around us in different ways. Furthermore, we can

learn from the past by reading books. In this way, we won’t repeat the mistakes

of others and can build on their achievements.

Practical experience, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge.

It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true,

whether one is successful or not. In fact, I think making mistakes is the best

way to learn. Moreover, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to

act. Innovations do not come about through reading but through experimentation.

Finally, one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of books

to practical experience, making an already meaningful experience more

meaningful. However, unless it is applied to real experiences, book knowledge

remains theoretical and, in the end, is useless. That is why I believe that

knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that acquired

from books.
