松鼠是一种漂亮的小动物,驯良,乖巧,很讨人喜欢。

它们面容清秀,眼睛闪闪有光,身体矫健,四肢轻快,非常敏捷,非常机警。玲珑的小面孔,衬上一条帽缨形的美丽的尾巴,显得格外漂亮;尾巴老是翘起来,一直翘到头上,身子就躲在尾巴底下歇凉。它们常常直竖着身子坐着,像人们用手一样,用前爪往嘴里送东西吃。可以说,松鼠最不像四足兽了。

松鼠不躲藏在地底下,经常在高处活动,像鸟类似的住在树上,满树林里跑,从这棵树跳到那棵树。它们在树上做窝,摘果实,喝露水,只有树被风刮得太厉害了,才到地上来。在田野里,在平原地区,是找不到松鼠的。它们从来不接近人的住宅,也不呆在小树丛里,只喜欢大的树林,住在高大的树上。在晴明的夏夜,可以听到松鼠在树上跳着叫着,互相追逐的声音。它们好像很怕强烈的日光,白天躲在窝里歇凉,晚上出来练跑,玩耍,吃东西。它们虽然也捕捉鸟雀,却不是肉食兽类,常吃的是杏仁、榛子、榉实和橡栗。

松鼠不敢下水。有人说,松鼠过水的时候,用一块树皮当作船,用自己的尾巴当作帆和舵。松鼠不像山鼠那样一到冬天就蛰伏不动。它们是十分警觉的,只要有人稍微在树根上触动一下,它们就从窝里跑出来,躲在树枝底下,或者逃到别的树上去。松鼠跑跳轻快极了,总是小跳着前进,有时也连蹦带跳。它们的爪子是那样锐利,动作是那样敏捷,一棵很光滑的高树,一忽儿就爬上去了。松鼠的叫声很响亮,比黄鼠狼叫声还要尖些。要是被人家惹恼了,还会发出一种不高兴的恨恨声。

保护动物”这四个字我们每天都在说,可是又有多少人在用实际行动表示呢?被割掉胸鳍和尾鳍的鲨鱼,被割掉角的犀牛,用洁白的象牙制作的装饰品,活熊取胆……这一件件残忍的事情时常发生,申赋渔的《逝者如渡渡》叙说了数百年间,世界各地灭绝了的或正在走向灭绝的30多种动物的故事,如:日本象.指猴.象龟.渡渡鸟……它们都是人类的伙伴,它们也曾快乐的生活在这个地球上,可是,因为人类掠夺了它们的生存空间,使它们从地球上永远消失了。

全球变暖,使北极熊赖以生存的浮冰断裂.消融。也使他们的食物——海象.海豹逐渐减少,使北极熊频临灭绝;人口迅速膨胀和乱砍乱伐,使熊猫的生存范围被迫向竹子稀少的山顶推进,食不果腹成了家常便饭,当竹子开花时,有些野生熊猫会因找不到食物而饿死。熊猫虽是我国的“国宝”,可在全世界的数量也不过区区2000多只。

人类啊!醒悟吧,让“保护动物”不只是说说而已。动物是人类的朋友,是地球大家庭中的一员,动物同人类生活在同一个地球上,动物作为食物链中的一员,如果动物灭绝了,那么人类也逃脱不了灭绝的厄运。

动物是有灵性的,它们也有思维和感情,人类怎么能忍心去杀害它们呢?每一个物种的消失,都是人类走向孤独的脚步,没有了动物的陪伴,人类还能走多远?保护动物绝不仅仅是一个组织的责任,大自然为大家所共有,保护动物,人人有责。但愿每个人都问一下自己,自己的行为曾经给地球带来过怎样的伤痛?自己有没有为一时的利益而透支我们的未来?

How To Be A Happy Kid

Good morning, dear judges!

My name is Joyce. Today I will give a speech about How To Be A Happy Kid.

Everyone deserves to have a happy childhood. We all know, life isn’t

easy all the time, even for children.

One time I didn’t do well on a math test. It was the first time for me

to get such a low mark. I felt miserable about it. When I got home, without

saying a single word to my parents, I rushed into my own room. I sat down

in front of my piano. Unconsciously, music came out from my fingers. I was

lost in the beauty of the music. My heart flew with the song in the air. The

piano music was just like a wise old man consoling me with soft words. After

playing the music, I felt very calm and happy.

We shouldn’t lack for joy in life. The key is to find ways

to be happy. For me, playing the piano helps me初中物理 find the road back to

happiness. For other children, they might find it other ways, like by

singing, dancing, playing soccer or helping people. But for all of

us, it should come from knowing our parents love us.

I am a child. Children shouldn’t worry about anything. I wish every

kid is a happy kid.

Thank you for listening!

Animals are our good friends. People should be friendly to them. But now, many people in China as well as in the world kill animals in order to get money. Its well known that there are many kinds of rare animals in China, such as pandas, golden monkeys and so on. Some people catch or kill them. They use their furs and skins to make clothes and shoes or eat their meat. As a result, a lot of rare animals have disappeared.

What a pity!

At present, our government have made some plans to punish these people. Recently, some nature parks have been built. Lots of money collected for protecting them. For example, some students put on perfom ances or have other kinds of activities to collect money for rare animals.

Its our duty to protect wild animals. As nature is like a big family, man and animals must live together in it peacefully. We must keep the balance of nature. If we do like this, our world will become better and better.

动物是人类的好朋友,人们应该善待它们,但现在,中国和世界上的许多人为赚钱而捕杀动物。众所周知,中国有许多珍稀动物,如熊猫、金丝猴等。一些人捕杀它们是为了用它们的皮毛制衣制鞋,或是为了食用它们的肉。

结果大量的珍稀动物死亡了,真可惜呀!

目前,我国政府已制定出有关严惩不法分子的法律;近来又建起了一些自然公园;人们:也捐款来支持保护动物的活动,如,有些学生通过义演或用其它方式为保护珍稀动物积极筹款。

我们有义务保护野生动物,因为自然就像一个大家庭,人类和动物必须和平共处:我们必须保持生态平稳。

如果人类能这么做,这个世界就会越来越好。

下渚湖风景区有一种奇特的鸟,叫朱鹮。姨父说,这是一种珍惜的鸟类,是国家一级保护动物,和大熊猫一样珍贵呢。它是日本的国鸟,可是在日本却已经灭绝了,只有少量生活在我国,听了姨父的介绍,我真想马上就见识一下这种神奇的鸟。

开到百鸟岛,首先出现的是几个朱鹮的雕塑,它们有的展翅飞翔,有的在捕食,有的几只站在一起好像在窃窃私语。我们在这里拍了几张纪念照,飞快地往前走去。突然峰回路转,三只巨大的鸟笼就呈现在我们眼前。每个鸟笼像我们的房子一样大,里面各架着一根长长的竹竿,许多白色的大鸟一字儿排列在竹竿上,看见我们就呱呱大叫,妈妈说它们在欢迎我们呢。我仔细观察了这些大鸟,它们的个头和白鹤差不多,毛也是白色的,不过羽毛尖上一点淡淡的粉红。朱鹮的脸是朱红色的,嘴巴长长尖尖向下弯曲,我想这大概是它名字的由来吧。我最奇怪的是,朱鹮们排列在竹竿上,每两只之间的距离都是差不多半米左右,是不是接受过特殊训练呢?

在导游的介绍上,我们还了解了朱鹮的历史。它不仅是中国的吉祥之鸟,同时还是日本的国鸟。可是因为环境的恶化,日本的朱鹮已经灭绝了,我们的国家领导人到日本访问,就带了几只朱鹮作为礼物送给日本。现在它们的孩子已经回来繁殖了,真想不到小小的鸟儿还是两国友谊的使者呢。

通过这次游览,我不仅认识了国家一级保护动物——朱鹮,还深刻的理解了环境保护的重要性。我希望我们的生存的环境越来越好,朱鹮们可以自由翱翔在蓝天白云之中,不需要大笼子的保护了。

今天,我读了安徒生童话里面的《维菊》。这篇童话主要讲了一只百灵鸟被两个小男孩关在牢笼里,那朵小维菊也关在里面了,它想安慰百灵鸟,可不知道说什么好。最后没人管这只百灵鸟,百灵鸟就渴死了,维菊也枯死了。

从这篇童话故事里看到:我们应该保护动物、植物,不能学故事中的小男孩,在百灵鸟能唱歌的时候,他们不爱护它,让它在牢笼受苦受难,现在它死了!然而却得到了这样尊荣和许多眼泪。

不过,在生活中人们经常挂在嘴边说,要保护植物、动物,行动上却没有表现出来,有些经常乱拔花草,还有些人总喜欢捉鸟儿。看来他们不知道这植物、动物的用处,如植物可制造出二氧化碳,使我们的空气更加清爽;动物的粪可以让植物健康地生长,这样植物就更加可以制造出清爽的空气。

看来,我们必须保护动物、植物。让我们共同生活在一个清爽、湛蓝的天空下!

Animals are our friends。But how to protect them? government is working to protect all animals in danger,and has made lots of plans to save animals。 On the other hand, we shouldn’t eat wild animals。We should keep them away from our dinner。 That way,there will not be wild animals on sale。 I think the hunters and killers will become fewer and fewer。

Last, we should protect the environment。We should stop people from cutting trees down。 Without trees, wild animals will lose their home。 And we will lose our animal friends。 All of us should try our best to protect animals。

We need to protect animals better。We should give them fresh water to drink。We should make the forests bigger for animals in danger to live in。We should advice people not to kill animals beacause they are our friends!

中学生应该在假期打工吗?你的看法呢?今天,小简老师选择的中考英语写作话题是:假期打工

【预测话题】假期打工

【预测题目】

暑假就要到了。很多学生打算在假期打工锻炼自己,可是有些家长不同意。他们认为打工既耽误学习,又不太安全。请你以“Should teenagers be allowed to have part-time jobs?"为题写一篇80词左右的短文,谈谈你的看法。

Should teenagers be allowed to have part-time jobs?

【参考范文】

Should teenagers be allowed to have part-time jobs?

Summer holiday is coming. Many students plan to have part-time jobs. But some parents disagree. They think it wastes the students’ time and it isn’t safe as well.

In my opinion, teenagers should be allowed to do some part-time jobs. Firstly, they can experience different lives and get more knowledge outside school. Meanwhile, after learning about the difficulty of making a living, they will cherish what they have now. What’s more, teenagers should have chances to make decisions by themselves.

Of course, safety is the most important. Teenagers should learn to protect themselves when doing part-time jobs.

当这个星期六下午4时少年宫的大门一敞开,我们就像一群才长了翅膀的雏鸟叽叽喳喳地飞向自己翱翔的蓝天。对我们这一只只小鸟儿来说天空是多么湛蓝,多么地广阔呀!

忽然一个身影映入我的眼帘一只浑身碧绿脖子发蓝,身高约七厘米的小鸟。咦?它怎么会有一张小巧的嘴呢?对了,这不就是常说的红嘴相思鸟吗?遇见了一只这么名贵的鸟儿,当然要逗逗它,想罢,吹了一声响亮的口哨。就这么一晃眼,鸟儿不见了,再望望前方我又看见了那只色艳迷人的小鸟,不过,这次是在一位眼疾手快的妇女手里。我呆呆地站在一旁心里有点矛盾,到底要不要救这只小鸟呢?

等我回过神来已经有许多小孩围在了妇女的身边,每个人都想玩弄一下这个可爱的小东西,“让我来玩一下!”“能给我摸摸吗”“真可爱”“它的毛真滑!”……到等他们都渐渐散去后我与小相思鸟的目光发生了碰撞,我仿佛能感受到小鸟眼神中的痛苦与哀求。我于心不忍,但总不能坐视不管让鸟儿饱受痛苦吧?当我还在思索时又有一个调皮的小男孩走了过来抢走了红嘴相思鸟,他一边拨弄着小鸟深绿色的翅膀和小小的爪子,向前走去。小鸟似乎在发抖着,更是用一种忧伤的眼神看着我,指望有一位救星。我这才鼓起勇气向小男孩走去小声地提醒道:“快放了它吧,它也很可怜。”

结果真是出人意料,那个小男孩一声不响地推出手,慢慢地端详着这只美丽的小鸟,最后张开双手放飞了这只可爱的小鸟。我们抬头观望,天空中却不见了它的身影,耳边却响起了一清脆的鸣叫,鸟儿,是你吗?是你,在谢谢我吗?

不管怎么说爱护小动物是每一个人的责任。

因为,有很多昆虫都对人类有益。比如说:蜜蜂,它很勤劳,每天早上很早就出去采蜜,一次又一次。到了天黑,吃几口蜜糖后,就马不停蹄地对采来的蜜进行加工。蜜蜂的外形并不起眼,生命也很短暂,只有3个月左右;可它一生都不休息,勤勤恳恳地工作,它们对人类毫无所求,却为人们酿造了甘甜可口、营养丰富、可医治病痛的蜂蜜。

还有青蛙,青蛙披着碧绿的衣裳,两只大眼睛,像两颗晶莹透明的玻璃球,它藏在田里,专吃害虫,保护庄稼。它捉害虫的时候两条后腿一蹬,一纵身,敏捷地将后腿一蜷,跳起老高,长长的舌头一伸,就像一个吸尘器一样转眼就把害虫吃到肚子里去了

可是,我们人类却把它们当成美味佳肴摆在餐桌上。

还有许多可爱的动物,我最喜欢的是大熊猫。大熊猫是我国珍贵的动物,妈妈告诉我大熊猫还是我们国家的国宝呢!大熊猫长的很可爱,胖乎乎、圆滚滚的,走起路来一摇一晃的,特别逗人。它的头部和身体都是白色的,只有眼圈、耳朵和肩部是黑褐色的。特别是那一对黑黑的眼圈,长在白白的脸上,像是戴着一副墨镜,加上那笨拙的动作和走起路来东张西望的神情,显得像个小绅士。

你瞧!它们多么可爱,它们是我们人类的好朋友,我们怎么忍心伤害它们呢!

Advice on Protecting Wild Animal

Many animals are in danger of dying out。 As is shown in the chart, we can see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will continue。 From 1980 to 2010, at least 1 million animal species have disappeared。 Worse still, more and more wild animals are in great danger。 It is not a piece of sensational news; it is a fact, a harsh reality。 Unfortunately, we may not see these animals in the near future。

很多动物频临灭绝的危险。图表显示,我们能够看到动物物种数量下降的速度越来越快,而且这种趋势将会持续下去。从1980年到2010年,至少有100万动物物种已经消失。更糟糕的是,越来越多的野生动物处于巨大的危险中。这不是一则耸人听闻的新闻,这是一个事实,一个残酷的事实。不幸的是,将来我们可能看不到这些动物了。

From the second picture, we can find some reasons。 Why is the number of animal species declining year by year? Apparently animals have bee victims of fashion industry。 Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and these clothes sell at a high price。 So some greedy people begin to kill animals in a large quantity。 This irresponsible behavior not only breaks the balance of nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings。

从第二幅图我们能够找到一些原因。为什么动物物种的数量一年年的减少呢?显然,动物成为了时尚工业的受害者。动物的皮被用来做时髦的衣服,而且这些衣服都是高价出售。因此,一些贪婪的人就开始超多屠杀动物。这种不负职责的行为不仅仅打破了自然的平衡,而且使人类居住环境陷入危险。

As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal action。 We believe "no buying, no killing"。 First, we must make concerning laws to protect these animals in danger。 Second, we must take some measures to protect animals effectively。 Animals are our friends and part of our environment。 Third, we should raise peoples awareness to protect animals and our environment。 In this way, we can build a harmonious society and ensure a sustainable development。

在我看来,我们务必要做些什么来阻止这种违法行为。我相信“没有买,就没有杀”。首先,我们务必制定有关法律来保护这些处于危险中的动物。其次,我们务必采取一些措施有效的保护动物。动物是人类的朋友,也是我们环境的一部分。再次,我们就应提高人们保护动物和环境的意识。这样一来,我们就能够建立一个和谐的社会,确保其可持续发展。

篇20: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.
