How time flies! I have studied in my school for three years. And I will graduate from the middle school in a month. I am eager to share my happiness and sadness with you.

I had so many memories in three years’ life. One of them impressed me very much. When I began to learn English, I found it too difficult. No matter how hard I tried, I still couldn’t do well in it and almost gave it up. As soon as my English teacher found my problem, she had a talk with me about how to learn English well. Since then, she has kept helping me. Little by little, I’ve become interested in English and I’m good at it.

I think I am so lucky to become one of her students. I’ve learned a lot from her. I will try to help others when they are in trouble. I think it is a happy thing to help others.

A Sad Story

Last Monday when I stepped into my classroom,my monitor told us that our class teacher, Mr Sun, had passed away in a traffic accident. It seemed so unbelievable because he used to give us lessons on Monday morning. I couldnt accept the fact until the headmaster came to tell us the truth.

Mr Sun was a middle-aged teacher. He was full of sense of humour. We all liked him very much because of his excellent teaching. His lessons were usually very lively and interesting.We all liked to attend his class. He was an experienced teacher.

Mr Sun will always live in our hearts!

[初三优秀英语作文：A Sad Story

人类，只有一个地球飘香的花丛中，我和蝶儿一起嬉戏、欢笑;在郁郁葱葱的森林里，我与小鸟一起追逐、歌唱;清晨，我迈着轻盈的步履去原野上踏青，雾霭缭绕着、白纱般的柔柔地漂浮在空中。吮吸着花草的芳香，欣享着阳光的沐浴，我被陶醉在这如痴如醉的梦幻里;夜晚，我坐在稻谷飘香的农家小院里，仰望着璀璨的星空，聆听着蝉鸣嘹响，蛙声如潮，仿佛置身于一个童话般的王国。春天，我坐在牛背上，在一望无际的大草原上，听那牧歌婉转，牧笛悠扬。夏天，我坐在小船上，任双桨拍打着那碧绿的湖水，看海鸥轻盈地掠过辽阔的湖面;秋天，我站在树下，凝神瞩望着那金黄的叶子一片片地落下;冬天，我站在窗前，欣赏着如絮的雪花在空中翩翩飞舞。在这如诗如画的仙境里，我的心都醉透了!

低碳生活是一种非常环保、文明的生活方式。节水、节电、节油、节气，可以帮助我们将低碳生活变为现实。

现在我们国家对全世界公开承诺减排指标，决定到2020年温室气体排放比2005年下降40%-45%。低碳时代已经如约而至，正在改变着我们的生活。"低碳"就在我们身边。今天，提起环境保护，几乎没有什么人会公开反对，但是真正做到自觉长久地保护环境，保护资源，还有许多工作在等待着我们去做。我认为首要的就是要在全民族树立起环保意识，具体地说就是树立资源意识，生存意识。要让大家都认识到，保护环境与资源和我们每个人息息相关，保护环境不仅是关乎子孙后代的千秋大业，而且已经直接关系到人类社会今天的生存!不能抱着环保多我一人少我一人差别不大的思想，也不能对保护环境有任何松懈和怕麻烦的思想。政府部门对环境保护固然负有重要的责任，而每个单位，每个企业，每个人对此更是承担了更为直接、更为具体的责任。只要我们从自己做起，从小事做起，大家共同努力，持之以恒，就一定能为社会、也为自己留下一片碧水蓝天。

诚信最珍贵 每天放学，我都要路过宝小门口的小卖部，看看今天里边有什么新鲜玩意儿。有一天 ，我忽然发现小店的货架上出现了个我一直梦寐以求的悠悠球，它发出耀眼的光芒，外壳是金黄色的，里面的绿色的，绚丽的外壳上还写着“光子精灵”四个小字。就是它!我拿着它爱不释手地抚摸着。

这时，小店老板走过来对我说：“喜欢吗?这个悠悠球原价要二十六元，最低二十三元卖给你。”我摸摸口袋，发现只有二十元钱，老板见我十分渴望得到这个悠悠球，就对我说：“那好吧，你先付二十元把它拿走，下次记得还我三元哟!”我喜出望外地答应道：“好的!”我交了钱，一边笑，一边玩，一边高高兴兴地回家了。

然而后来我就将此事忘在了脑后，直到过了几天想起时，我便想，这么长时间了，可能老板自己也忘记了吧。带着这种侥幸的心理，从此每次路过宝小门口，我都避开走，更不敢去跟老板还三元钱。然而我的举动引起了妈妈的注意，妈妈好象看透了我的心思，问我：“你怎么了呀?以前你不是都要没事去店里面看看有没有喜欢的小玩意吗?现在怎么看都不看了?”我立即低下头对妈妈说：“啊、噢，我上次买了一个悠悠球，差了老板三元钱没有不还。。。”我半天才说出了原因，妈妈赶紧给我钱让我现在就去还。

还钱后，我觉得心里舒服极了，我感觉做人一定要做一个诚实守信的人，相倍别人，也相信自己!

I come, I want to, I can start from the minor matter, begin from me. Although the fireworks is very beautiful, but the discharge will damage our air quality, so we have to wear a mask to go out.

When I went out of the school gate, I saw my father standing there. I went to him at once. My father had a raincoat, because hed just had a meeting and he went to school as soon as the meeting finished, so he had no time to return home. When he saw me, he took his raincoat off and gave it to me. I didnt want to receive it. He looked at me and said, Take it. I had to put on the raincoat, but my heart was not still. I cried, and I couldnt let myself stop. Since that day, I knew my father loved me. Oh, I cant forget that day all my life.

Too many cars have created a lot of serious problems in our world. Besides congestion, accidents and fast fuel consumption, cars are responsible for a good part of air pollution in big cities. All the time, they are pumping huge amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere. These gases are very harmful, causing disease and even death.

One possible solution is to design and develop clean cars and clean fuels. In Shanghai, some of the public buses begin to run on natural gas, which does not give off as much carbon dioxide as the petrol. But it may take decades for the new models of clean cars completely replace the traditional ones. Another solution is to develop modern public transportation systems and restrict the use of private cars. If the price of petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people will not buy private cars. And the total number of cars in big cities will reduce greatly.

On the whole, the elimination of air pollution needs the collective efforts from the government, the public and the environmentalists.

太多的汽车在我们的世界制造了许多严重的问题。除了交通拥堵、交通事故和快速的燃料消耗，汽车在大城市的空气污染中占了很大的一部分。一直以来，他们都在向大气中排放大量的废气。这些气体是非常有害的，会导致疾病甚至死亡。

一个可能的解决方案是设计和开发清洁汽车和清洁燃料。在上海，一些公共汽车开始使用天然气，而天然气的二氧化碳排放量并不像汽油那么多。但是，新型的清洁汽车完全取代传统汽车可能需要几十年的时间。另一个解决方案是开发现代公共交通系统，并限制私家车的使用。如果汽油价格持续上涨，而且公共交通工具的效率和便利性，大多数人都不会购买私家车。大城市的汽车总数量将会大大减少。

总的来说，消除空气污染需要政府、公众和环保人士的共同努力。

hoping to excite student interest in our reading center, i asked each teacher to write a new years resolution on a special form and send it to me.

after i posted the resolutions on the bulletin board in the reading center, one young teacher stopped by, looked at them for a few minutes, and then left abruptly. passing two teachers on their way in, she stormed, "my resolution isnt posted - and mine was one of the first ones in!" i cannt help but overhear, and the tone of her voice sent me flying to my desk in search of a misplaced resolution.

looking rapidly through stacks of papers, i uncovered hers. it read, "i resolve not to let little things upset me. "

Dear Sandy,

亲爱的桑迪，

I offer my warmest congratulations to you for receiving the first prize of The Olympic English competition for the middle school students. I know that you are always good at English. You often win the praise of our English teacher and always in the first place of our class. So I’m surprise at all that you become champion for this competition.

The world we live in is becoming more and more intolerable because of environmental destruction. Bird flu and Sars are two typical examples that environmental destruction may threaten our life. Besides, forest destruction , water and air pollution result in decrease of planting land and unpleasant weather.

Serious as the problem seems, we can come up with some measures to deal with it. First of all, the authorities should adopt the policy of "sustainable development", and laws concerning environmental protection should be put into effect and enforced strictly just as our government has been doing.

What s more, every citizen should realize the seriousness of the problem and make concerted efforts to protect our environment. In addition, planting trees helps improve and beautify the environment.(约120字)

Yesterday, we had a discussion. The topic is"What is my dream?"Everyone has his dream. Some want to be teachers,others want to be scientists. My dream is to become a doctor.

My friends asked me why. I told them my story. When I was a small boy, I was very weak. Once I was terribly ill. I had a high fever. My parents sent me to the hospital but the doctors could do nothing for me. Then my parents heard there was a very good doctor in another town. They took me there at once. I was saved.

A good doctor can save peoples lives. From then on I decided to become a doctor. I know it is not easy to be a doctor.But I am determined to study hard. I am sure my dream will come true.

She is very busy today, just like a busy bee. In the morning, I had two seccsions and after that I had a lesson for my IELTS. I dont even have my lunch. There lots of people in my IELTS class and most of them came from India. The reason why they want to attent this course is similar to me. Right now, I feel exhausted and dont want to work, but I still have lots homework to do.

I also have some other problem. Last term, I decided to start my new term in Newcastle, and asked Jhon to give my money back. And now, I have changed my mind, so told Jhon I did not want my fees back, but she told me the check had been sent out for almost two weeks. I havent received my check until now, and I told her the truth. Finally, she said she would help me to ask finaNcial officer to give me another letter, and then after I sign that form everything will be all right. What a absurd world it is. If I had not asked Jhon to give my fees back, it would have become much easier.

If my boy sleep quietly, he will see the busy bee, when it has made its honey fine, dancing in the bright sunshine. If my boy will slumber, angles without number will draw near, so fair and bright, for they only come at night.
