关于清明节的英语作文初中(通用20篇)

The tomb sweeping day is one of the traditional festivals in China. On April 5th people start to visit their ancestors’ tombs. Generally speaking people will bring the home-made food some fake money and paper-made mansion to their ancestors. When they start to honour their ancestor they will light up some candles and incense put some flowers around the tombs. The most important thing is to put the home-made food in front of the tombs. The food also known as sacrifices is usually made up with a chicken a fish and some pork. It’s a symbol of the offspring’s respect to the ancestors. People believe that the forbears will share the food with them. The children dedicate the food and money to their forbears in order to show their love and caring. The young offspring will go down on their knees and pray for their ancestors. They can say their wishes in front of the tombs and the ancestors will make their dreams come true.

清明节是中国的传统节日之一。从每年的4月5日开始人们就开始去祭拜自己的祖先。一般来说人们会带一些自制的食品冥币和祭品烧给他们的祖先。当人们开始拜祖的时候就会点燃蜡烛和香火在坟墓周围挂上鲜花。最重要的事情是把祭祀的食物摆在坟墓前。这些食物又称之为祭品，通常由一只鸡、一条鱼、一些猪肉组成。这是后代对祖先所表示的一种尊重。人们认为老祖宗会和他们一同分享美食。后代们献上食物和钱财表示他们对先人的爱和关心。晚辈们则会跪在坟前说出自己的心愿向先人祷告让祖宗保佑自己的愿望得以实现。

laba rice porridge was first introduced to china in the song dynasty about 900 years ago.

buddhism was well accepted in the areas inhabited by the han chinese, who believed that sakyamuni the first buddha and founder of the religion, attained enlightenment on the eighth day of the twelfth month. sutras were chanted in the temples and rice porridge with beans, nuts and dried fruit was prepared for the buddha. with the passing of time the custom extended, especially in rural areas where peasants would pray for a plentiful harvest in this way.

there is, however, another touching story: when sakyamuni was on his way into the high mountains in his quest for understanding and enlightenment, he grew tired and hungry. exhausted from days of walking, he fainted away by a river in india. a shepherdess found him there and fed him her lunch -- porridge made with beans and rice. sakyamuni was thus able to continue his journey.

一、了解高分作文的特点

要想作文获得高分，必须了解高分作文具有的特点，才有助于我们朝之而努力。高分作文一般具有以下特点：

1、书写工整，书面整洁，很少有涂改痕迹。

2、分段合理。全文分段一般不止一个自然段，让阅卷老师很容易就能找到作文所要求写的要点和重要句子。

3、要点齐全，不缺要点。

4、首尾呼应，自然成一体。

5、使用了大量的高级词汇和句型。阅卷老师一看就知道这个同学的功底非不一般，自然就给打高分了。

6、开头言简意赅，不啰嗦，不偏题，迅速引入主题。

7、段与段之间，自然过渡。有合适的连接词。

8、句与句之间，有恰当的连接词，使之自然成一体。

9、全文中同一个意思，基本没有重复使用某一个词、短语或者句型等，说明这个同学的词汇量不同寻常。老师自然就对该作文有好感了。

10、能够恰当使用谚语、格言等给文章添彩。

二、勤积累，巧准备

要想作文得高分，除了了解以上的特点外，还要在平时的学习中注意一下方面：

1、牢记课标词汇是基础

一篇作文多数是由积极词汇写出来的，这些词汇主要来源于课标。因此，牢记课标词汇是写好作文的基础。

2、掌握课标词汇和短语的用法

要想作文不扣分或者少扣分，有个要求是作文的语病少。怎么能够减少语病呢?这就要求我们在平时的学习过程中反复通过练习，掌握课标词汇和短语等的用法。例如，对于assoonas、stopsomebodyfromdoingsomething、other、another等的用法很多学生就经常出错。

3、高度重视同一个意思的多种表达方式

高分作文有个特点是：让老师发现你拥有丰富的词汇量，你的水平高人一筹。这由何而来?靠我们在平时学习过程中，逐步积累起来的。比如：今年的中考作文，谈的就是帮助他人的问题。同一个意思“帮助”，假如你就用一个动词“help”，岂不显得你词汇贫乏?假如你在作文中不断地变换方式，用help、givesomebodyahand、giveahandtosomebody、beinneedof等以表达“帮助”同一个意思，岂不更好呢?

像这样的例子很多，比如：大家都觉得很简单又很基础的“表示姓名的方式”就有：MynameisJim.I’mJim.I’mcalled/namedJim.I’maboycalled/named/withthenameofJim.等等。

表达年龄的方式有：Sheis12.Sheis12yearsold.Sheisaged12.Sheisagirlof12(yearsold)。Sheisagirlaged12.等等。

很显然，使用高级一点的更好。

4、加强练习，积累经验

学习语言最好的方法是运用，作文也不例外。我们要想作文得高分，必须经常练习，才能提高水平。

5、充分利用作文范文

很多资料书上都有作文范文。诚然，他们有很多值得借鉴的地方。

我们怎么利用它们呢?首先，我们先不要看文章，自己先思考一下：假如你来写，你会怎么去写，会用到哪些词或者句子等。然后去比较，勾出其中的好词佳句，并且把它摘录在专门的作文册子上。供写作时选用。

另外，背一些范文也是很有必要的。

6、背诵一些谚语和警句

作文中如果出现恰当的谚语和警句，会有锦上添花的效果。

三、精心审题，沉着写初稿

很多同学看到作文后，下笔就写。这是不对的。一则很容易写偏题、写出病句，涂改后书面又不整洁，影响得分。

其实，会写作文的同学都知道，审题非常的重要，可以防止很多毛病，提高得分。那么我们审题要做些什么呢?

审题主要要做一下事情：

1、审人称、时态、体裁等

审题时，要求我们要弄清楚这篇文章主要使用的人称是第几人称，什么时态、什么体裁。这些问题解决后至少不会犯很严重的错误：全文皆错。例如，如果一篇文章，本来应该一般过去时，你的每句话却用了一般现在时态。你想想，那还能得高分吗?

2、明确必须表达的要点

高分作文有个特点是要点齐全。如果漏掉一个要点，则要扣分。因此我们必须认真细读其要求，把必须表达的要点勾出来。保证不漏掉任何一个要点。

3、罗列出可能会用到的短语、句型，确定好使用哪个?

4、确定好如何分段

现在似乎有许多人的体重都过重。没有人会希望身上有多余的重量，但是很少人知道如何才能有效地瘦下来。他们会去寻找特效药，以及神奇的治疗法。最后不仅失败，而且反弹了。但是事实上，最有效的减肥方法非常简单。主要就是结合均衡的饮食，以及适当的运动。成功的关键就是要有决心。成功需要自制和投入。以下这个例子，可以证明这个方法是正确的。

my aunt had been trying to lose weight for years. she went on one diet after another, but none of them worked. she lost a lot of weight quickly only to have it come back. finally, she followed her doctors advice and began to eat a simple, well-balanced diet. she ate lots of fruits and vegetables and avoided high-fat foods. in addition, she joined an exercise class. she worked out three times a week. at first, my aunt wasnt happy because the weight came off so slowly. but her classmates encouraged her to stick to it and eventually she reached her goal. best of all, she was able to stay at her ideal weight. that was because she had developed healthy new habits.

我阿姨试图减肥已经好多年了。她一次又一次地节食，但是没有一次成功。她的体重会快速地下降，但没多久就又反弹了。最后，她听从医生的建议，开始吃简单、均衡的饮食。她吃大量的蔬果，并避免高脂肪的食物。除此之外，她还去参加运动课程。她一星期运动三次。起初，我阿姨并不是很开心，因为体重下降得很慢。但是她的同学们鼓励她坚持下去，最后她终于达到目标。最棒的是，她能够维持她的理想体重。因为她已经养成健康的新生活习惯。

First of all,I need to greatly improve my English in this semaster,for I’m already in Junior 2 now,and there’s no time to waste.

On another hand,I wanna improve my spoken English,cuz its a kind of language which is used to communicate with others,but not just a subject that can prove I am a good student.My plan for the future is to study abroad,so the skill of spoken Enlish is really important to me.

My bedroom is not big but it is bright. Becauseeveryday the sunshine will come in. my bedroom is very simple. There just is abed, a desk and a wardrobe.

But I never feel my bedroom is empty, because it isthe place belongs to myself and full of my passion.

When I feel happy, I canlaugh in my bedroom. When I am sad, I can cry in it. I know that no one willbother me, as it is my private place. And every morning the sunshine comes in, Ifeel warm in my heart just seems that I see my promising future. I like mybedroom.

我的卧室不大但是很明亮。因为每天的阳光会照射进来。我的卧室很简单。这只有一张床，一张桌子和一个衣柜。但我从不觉得我的卧室是空的，因为它是属于我自己的地方，充满了我的喜怒哀乐。当我感到高兴，我可以在我的卧室大笑。当我感到伤心时，我可以在我的卧室里面哭。我知道没有人会来打扰我，因为这是我的私人地带。每天清晨的阳光照射进来时，我感到我的心都暖起来了，就像看到了我充满了希望的未来。我喜欢我的卧室.

[初中英语作文：我的卧室

Since I came to middle school, I have to learn so many subjects, at first,

I could not catch up with my classmates, I felt so worried. So I decided to keep

studying every night. After finishing dinner, I went to my bedroom and did my

homework. But when I finished my homework, I forced myself to go over other

subjects. Though I was very tired, I still keptstudying until midnight. But it

did not work, I did not made progress. I talked to my teacher, she told me to

relax and had a good rest, I needed to be patient and made progress step by

step. I realized my mistake and adjusted my method and it works.

The school is our home, we should protect the environment in the small

yard.

We saw the earth have pick up rubbish should put the rubbish into the trash

can, we cant eat your own trash on the ground after the funeral, if someone do

so should be to remind him, let him pick up garbage into the garbage can.

We need to protect the objects on campus, such as: we should protect the

playground on the playground every camphor tree, cant use a knife to get the

camphor tree, because the camphor tree is a rare tree. One can sell one or two

in case of a tree, so we should protect the camphor tree.

We should also protect the flowerbeds in the flowerbeds, the flowers in the

flowerbeds, and we cant pick it because it will spoil the environment.

Friendship is, a knife, the rocks break in my heart;

Friendship is a lamp, illuminate the darkness in my heart;

Friendship, is a huge box, harvest happiness, also share the happiness.

The boundless huge crowd, find a friend? Difficult! Find a bosom friend? Even harder! But all this encounter, as if is god arrangement, let you accidentally get a precious friendship, are you willing to cherish...

Maybe, this is friendship, unexpectedly, of course, I was no exception.

Time reversal, back to the first true friendship that day.

"The bell bell bell..." As the bell rang, the students like the cage fly bird, "fly" to the outside of the classroom activities. Soon after, the laughter, the wind gone with the wind in my ears. Curious I walked out of the classroom, sat down next to the tree, watching a game of only two or three people, how I want to jump with them, dancing together, but timid I didnt do it after a week. When I plucked up the courage to join their games, they also dont hesitate to accept me. Immediately and how the wave in the game, is my best friend, also is I got my first friendship, and friendship is gradually in the interesting game...

Of course, there is more than a friendship. In fourth grade, seat in the class, a boy called wang kun tune in next to me. At that time did not think of his name will enter my "good friends" list. Because of the seat, our feelings increase day by day, helicopters to my bosom friends.

In this way, day after day, year after year, the four of us is not cut points of bosom friends, and also let me get happiness from a friend - especially in the rainy day.

Which is a rainy day, rainy day let people by surprise.

The rain, continuous underground, at any time change, sometimes big, sometimes small. Susin and I, in the face of the sudden rain, helpless. It was getting dark side, the rain has not stopped, even as wang kun and I decided to rush home, an umbrella to cover my head, I was surprised to look back a look, turned out to be He Mingbin. He seemed to know what I was thinking, but before I opened my mouth, took asked: "you also go to the east. Then go!" I happy smile, warm like a fire, suddenly occupied my cold heart. I do not know when, He Mingbin appear between the I and wang kun, open the umbrella said: "go, I just send He Mingbin to markets."

In this way, the four of us talking and laughing all the way to break the campus at the moment of silence.

At that moment, have far keep in my heart, because at that moment, let me understand what is the true friendship - lend a helping hand when friends, when you need help, friends will make you refreshed, but anyway, at the last moment, dont abandon a friend, abandon the friendship.

Say goodbye to primary school life with the passage of time. Level with friends together of the time only just months after graduation, may god keep our fate, but maybe not. Now, I think, cherish now, cherish the friendship, between the friend leave deep memories, can let friendship get true friendship!

Friendship, is to make me happy angel;

Friendship, is better than a cherry sweet happiness;

The raft of friendship, is to make life infinitely more important parts!

Friendship is not worth to cherish, isnt?

The puppy is clean, but the temper has some strange, always have a person around it all the time to accompany it to play, take care of it.

Once again, because of the festivals, we would like to go out shopping, when we happily with a photo back, I saw the neighbors whispered to me, said: "You are really, put a puppy on "Oh, Im sorry, noisy to you, please forgive me." The gas disappeared. I just breathed a sigh of relief, entered the house, the dog will be like a gust of wind generally rushed over to me, but also kept licking my hand. "I do not appreciate it!

Communication is common and important in our daily life. All of us live

with others in the society and no one can live cut off from it. Everyday, we

must talk to others to give and get information, but how can we communicate with

others? Some people claim that they don’t know what to say and how to speak to

others, strangers especially. I think first you should find a topic that both of

you are interested in. Then, pay attention to your manners, speed, pitch,

expressions and your body language. You should make others feel comfortable, so

that they are willing to talk to you. Last but not the least, being a good

listener. Listening to others shows your respect to them. Only when they heard,

they want to talk. So do you. Before you talk, listening to others first.

After a long cold winter when I have rarely been out on my bike, the weather has finally turned warmer and even sunny occasionally. Yesterday I had a surprise call from Tom suggesting we turn out for a short ride. This being my intention anyway I gladly agreed and we met up at Jiedaokou Station at about ten o’clock.

As Tom has a permanent Sunday Lunch appointment at 12-30pm we opted to make a round trip to Hannan . The weather was cloudy but dry and as we were both a bit out of condition after a long winter lay off we took the easy option of taking the train to Shiyan to get us on top of the ridge with an easy start for the trip.

A long coast down to Jiangtan and straight on to Mount End saw us climbing up to Zhongshan Park. The climb got stiffer but still Tom kept on riding. Gritting my teeth I followed on and crested the hill, Then the usual Essex switchback with an enforced short walk for both of us part way along saw us at Tawny common. Round the common we went, to the Mole Trap, an erstwhile rough old country pub now tarted up for the motorists. I don’t go in there any more, so we sat on the adjacent public seat for a while and a short natter.

Time enough to break away, Tom to his lunch appointment, me for home by way of theYellow Crane Tower and Changjiang Bridge. See you in a while, crocodile! I arrived home about 2 o’clock. Just in time for my own Sunday lunch .

The Spring Festival in my hometown almost from the year began, until the end of fifteen. Although there is only a short time to come to the sky, but every day is lively and festive.

The second day of the Spring Festival is to open the firecrackers to greet the blessing of the new year. The first thing for our children is to replace the new clothes for the parents, the elders have a new year. The following is the red bag. The Spring Festival this day most of the shops are closed, until the beginning of the six month is opened. On this day, the great people said that they could not sweep the ground, so that they would not sweep away their blessings. Many people have gone to the streets to buy gifts and send relatives and visit the year.

To the six all shops opened once a year, the Lantern Festival comes. The dragon will go to each house, the owner will greet the firecrackers. Listen to adults, the dragon has come, this is a good year and harvest year.

At sixteen of the first month, everything returned to peace. School, work, work. Next, we look forward to the next spring festival.

My grade school days are the most wonderful time I have ever had. In those days I always wanted as eagerly to learn as a dog prowls about in search of food. The teachers taught me not only the three R’s but also the way to observe the world surrounding us. They laid more stress on observation than on memorization. Thus we had much time to talk over and trade our learning experiences. What excited me most during my grade school days, however, was to be out collecting specimens of the butterfly. Once, on a sunny day and after walking a good while, we reached a one began to catch the butterflies with great excitement while the teacher told us about the living habit of them. Though we spent more time in playing than in catching butterflies, we still had a rich collection when we went home, and a rich knowledge of wildlife into the bargain. After I attended junior high school I did not have much of an opportunity to learn the way I did in grade school, but did not regret because we are bound to go through various stages of life. Anyway, my grade school education was the cornerstone of my later learning career and for that single reason, if not for any other, I am grateful to it.
