初中英语说明文写作模板(汇总20篇)

Mobile phones are useful and popular. But they are also bad for us

students. On the one hand, some of us like playing the games, they will forget

the time to rest. If they dont get enough rest, they will feel sleepy in class.

And even they are having a class, they always think about the games. They are

not good for our study. On the other hand, there are a lot of students who like

reading e-books on a mobile phone. Its good to read. But reading on a mobile

phone for a long time is not good for our eyes.

要写好英语作文，具体要做到以下几点：

注重英文阅读习惯的养成与坚持

坚持英语阅读的习惯，不仅可以保持对英语语感的敏感度，更重要的是它有助于培养英式思维，从而避免汉式思维句子的出现。

(1)平时多读，积累句型：读的越多，语感欲强烈，写作的时候自然而然就可以自如的运用灵活多变的句式来完整一篇小作文了，另外建议多积累名言警句、谚语等以作为高级句型运用与作文中。

(2)选出一些代表性范文精读：选出不同题材的优秀作文范文，读的时候注意文章的开头、结尾、层次结构以及所用句型等。要有目的、用学习的心态来精读优秀范文，并做到学以致用。

注重平时的写作训练

英语写作训练可以以日记、话题或仿写的形式来进行。通过坚持一个学期的英语日记，保持英语写作的习惯。所以一定要坚持每周两到三次的写作训练，正所谓习惯成自然就是这个道理。

五步写出一篇好作文

什么才是好作文呢?很多同学误认为只要像学校平时测验那样子“句子结构正确，无单词拼写错误”就应该得满分。而小升初对作文的考核并非如此简单，同学们应该走出对英语写作认识上的误区。那么除了以上两个方面外，我们怎样才能写出一篇优秀作文而在小升初中获取高分呢?下面就来看我们的“高分作文五步法”。

(1)认真审题，确定时态人称，同时关注题材格式

时态：故事性文章一般用过去时，其中表达感受时可用现在时。说明性或议论性文章一般用现在时，举例时可用过去时。根据题目要求也会出现时态的交错使用，如过去和现在的对比等。如果句中出现了时间状语，时态则要遵循时间状语。

如ago，last…过去时;next，in…将来时等

人称：注意在句子中人称的统一。

例如：

Thanks to the teachers， we have improved our English.

其中we和our就是人称的统一。

格式：注意书信格式的开头和结尾。

(2)找全信息点，紧扣主题，突出重点

切忌只看表格中或所列1、2、3中的信息点。一定把题读全，找齐信息点，建议用铅笔标出，写完后再涂掉。根据题目，可适当增加合理内容。特别注意文章要有开头和结尾。

(3)成文时表述正确，文字流畅

切忌与汉语提示的一一对应，使用所学表达方法将语义表达出来即可。首先考虑句子结构(如主谓宾，主系表等)。同时注意短语的正确使用和单词的拼写，最好使用课本上学过的短语和句式。

(4)文章结构清晰，重点句型画龙点睛，可使文章在得分上提高一个档次，考虑文章的篇章结构，使用适当的连接短语，使文章结构紧凑。

常用连接词：

1.表文章结构顺序：

First of all， Firstly/First，Secondly/Second…

And then， Finally， In the end，At last

2.表并列补充关系的：

What is more， Besides，Moreover，

3.表转折对比关系的：

However， On the contrary， but

On one hand… On the otherhand…Some…， while others…

4.表因果关系的：

Because， As、So， Therefore， As a result

5.表换一种方式表达：

In other words

6.表进行举例说明：

For example，句子;For instance，句子;such as + n/doing

7.表陈述事实：In fact

8.表达自己观点：

As far as I know， In myopinion

9.表总结：

In short， In a word.

文中正确使用两三个好的句型，如：感叹句、宾语从句、动名词做主语等。

宾语从句举例：

I believe Tianjin will be morebeautiful and prosperous.

感叹句举例：

How I want to study in thebest middle school in Guangzhou!

动名词做主语举例：

Reading books and swimming aremy hobbies.

常用状语从句句型：

1)时间：

when， not…until(直到…才…)， as soon as(一…就…)

2)目的：

so that + clause; (为了)

3)结果：

so…that…(如此…以至于…)， too…to do(太……以至于……)

4)条件：

if， unless(除非)， as long as(只要)

5)比较：

as…as…(与…一样)， not so…as…， than

(5)认真检查，检查信息点是否全面，时态、人称是否一致，句子结构是否清晰，短语使用、单词拼写是否准确等。

检查后，将草稿誊写在纸上，请注意按结构分段，书写清晰。

下面列举一些在检查中可发现的错误：

We livemore and more comfortable.

改正：comfortably(副词修饰动词)

2.we can getmany informations by reading newspapers.

改正：much information (不可数名词由much修饰)

3.There willhave a football game tomorrow.

改正：There will be a football game tomorrow.(Therebe句型的将来时结构)

4.I thinkride a bike can keep our health.

改正：I think riding a bike can keep us healthy.(动名词作主语)

Unit Three

Prisoners of War?

Thousands of war prisoners were kept in captivity in the bulky camp. They lived in clutter and had to deal with chore. They must show categorical obedience or else receive caustic chiding. The guarding officers censure them very often, as well as clamoring carnal punishments. Some captives got bruise and clots all over. Male prisoners lost their collaterals and female ones fail to keep chaste.??

They wear burnished canvas, and rested in circumscribed room with small capacity and caliber. They chafe each other and brawled frequently. They were chary of moving and can hardly budge. Their situations captivated lots of reporters, who castigated the government with cogent proof. However, the government gave bombastic data and bragged about the conditions in the camps.??

After the calamity of war ceased, large numbers of captives were longing for the boon of brisk free life. According to a clandestine bond between the two canny governments, a process of exchanging captives will soon commence. This is considered as opening a cleft in the clogged wall between the two countries.

Thanksgiving Day

In the United States， the fourth Thursday in November is called Thanksgiving Day。 On that day， Americans give thanks for the blessings they have enjoyed during the year。Thanksgiving Day is usually a family day。 People always celebrate with big dinners and happy reunions。 Pumpkin pie and Indian pudding are traditional Thanksgiving desserts。 Relatives from other cities， students who have been away at school， and many other Americans travel a long distance to spend the holiday at home。

大家都叫我向前走、向右走、向左走，我——只想向后倒退。

有个家喻户晓的故事是这样说的：有一天，蚌正躺在沙滩上晒太阳，忽然一只海鸥俯冲下来，在他的喙啄到蚌肉的那一刻，蚌夹住了海鸥，两个谁也不想让谁，有一渔夫走过，便捉了蚌和海鸥，双方谁都没有赢谁，这就是“鹬蚌相争，渔翁得利”的故事。

虽然这故事有点荒谬，听过的人无不摇头感叹着蚌和鹬的愚蠢，但在现实生活中，大家也不正是如此吗？

曾经我们班上要去比“热舞”比赛，爱跳舞的我们，每节下课都聚在一起，讨论舞曲、走位、……等主题。当讨论到舞曲时，我提出的建议受到多数人的好评，不过有几个人却不以为然，狠狠批评我，打击我脆弱的心。

我生气了，双方便开始吵架，好几天都不说话，我们的热情迅速冷却，到最后草草练了一首就结束，但这次的事件早已在我们心中，成了一个永远无法修复的伤口，随时都有可能发炎、溃烂。

现在回忆起，当时的我们为何要那么坚持一件小事，那么执着于自己的想法？为何我们不各后退一步，不要局限于自己的信仰，抛掉“就是要听我的”想法，我们不会因此而少了什么，反而会得到更多的快乐与成就。

在世界上，相信这类“鹬蚌相争”的事件，每天不停上演着。无论是子女和父母、学生和老师或是同侪之间，都有可能扮演鹬、蚌的角色，而不管最终是谁获得了胜利，没有任何一人是赢家，双方一定都会受伤。

如过时间可以倒退，我愿意向后退一步，天空依旧宽阔、快乐依旧永存、……

写作是运用语言文字符号反映客观事物、表达思想感情、传递知识信息的创造性脑力劳动过程。下面就是小编为您收集整理的初中作文

一忌、陈词老套

有些文章开头总是从形势写起，言心称“在××的领导下，在××的支持和关怀下，在××的帮助下”有的文章开头总是“太阳”、“月亮”，“光阴似箭、日月如梭”，这些调子老唱，这些套路老用就成了令人生厌的陈词老套了，初中毕业作文开头。

二忌、故弄玄虚

有些文章开头，故意耍花枪，兜圈子，有意让人琢磨不透，进入“迷魂阵”，不愿将意思直截了当地写出来。仿佛这就是文章新颖巧妙的所在，见水平、见功力的地方。其实这种故弄玄虚的作法，恰恰是写作的弊病。

三忌、开头突然

有些文章开头，缺乏应有的交代，显得突如其来，没头没脑，不知所云。如写读后感，有的文章在不作任何交代的情况下就开始“感”起来了。写供料作文一开头就说“读了这个材料我有深刻的体会……”材料内容只字不提就这样写，太突然了。

四忌、不必要的解释

文章开头，突如其来、不作交代不行，作不必要的解释也不行。如写《女排五连冠给我的启示》，要是一开头就用较长篇幅去说明女排的组成、女排五次获冠军的时间、地点，同谁争夺冠军等情况，就不必要了。当然，根据需要，适当对所写的问题作些解释也是必要的。

五忌、凭空抒情

有的文章的开头，特别是议论文的开头，不管与中心、主题有无关系，议论还没有展开，问题还没有说清，就“啊”“呀”不断，感慨万端。这种凭空抒情，只能叫无病呻吟。

六忌、绕大圈子

有的文章开头，不管中心需不需要，与主题有关无关，就先秦两汉、前村后店地谈开了。不着边际，空发议论，下笔千言，离题万里，绕了好大个圈子，才说到正题上来。

七忌、堆砌名言锦语

有的文章，开头想先声夺人，想不出好的办法，于是就把格言、警句等一股脑儿地搬出来，以为这样就算是个好的开头，中学生作文《初中毕业作文开头》。其实这种做法带有很大盲目性，效果往往很差。

八忌、开头重复

文章只能有一个开头，可是有的文章有两个开头。比如有的文章本想从引用写起，写好后又觉得扣题目谈更好，于是又开个头。有的文章一开头就介绍背景，写好后又觉得首先应该揭示文章的中心，于是又开个头。这样都会出现两个开头。出现这种情况，可根据题目或中心的要求，取其一个开头即可。

九忌、盲目写景

写景的主要目的，或是为了突出主题，或是为了刻划人物，或是为了烘托气氛，如果与此无关，一般来说这样的写景是没有意义的。有些文章一开头就“花儿”、“鸟儿”、“草儿”地写一通，实在是不必要。

十忌、盲目引用

引用应根据主题、中心的需要，盲目引用应尽量避免。特别是供料作文，供给的材料如果很长，要是一开头就不加选择地大量引用，或全盘搬用，必然重点不明，主旨不清，文字不精，陷于盲目性，而且下文再谈到它，必然还会重复，所以引用应有所取舍和选择。

Every year when the autumn comes, there will be a sports meeting in my school. I am so impressed by the opening ceremony. Every class will march on the ground and show their features, which is very funny. Last year, a group of students wore the co-splay dresses. When they showed up, they caught all people’s attention and won the biggest applause. It is a great event for every student, and also a good chance to let students develop their creativity. This year, my class decided to make a big surprise. Everyone has provided their idea and I love the atmosphere. I am so looking forward to the opening ceremony.

每年秋天到来的时候，我学校都会举行运动会。开幕式给我留下了深刻的印象。每个班级都将在操场上行走，展示他们的特色，非常有趣。去年，一群学生穿了角色扮演的裙子，当他们出现的时候，吸引了所有人的注意力，赢得了最热烈的掌声。这对每个学生来说都是大事一件，也是让学生发挥创造力的好机会。今年，我们班决定给大家一个惊喜，每个人都提供了自己的想法，我喜欢这样的氛围。我对开幕式充满了期待。

H1N1 influenza, since the claws reached into the earth and stuck it into our world caused great sensation. From Moscow, the United States, Japan, ... ... to China, have spared, showing the speed of its spread. While we use some of the medical technology we have can be prevented, you can cure, but it is still scary. The most laughable thing is that some people thus do not eat pork. However, these are not the focus of my concern, I am concerned, I am sad is:

When we state the first to be infected were found, one who returned from abroad Sichuanese, I heard mostly blame everyone, it makes me sad exception. Had returned from abroad is a good thing, is between the happy event. But because even not aware of being infected was a complete mess of things hands and become pieces of sad things. At first, I think we should sorry for him, should go to help him. However, many people said: "In the U.S., do not come back Well!" "We also are engaged in a state of panic." ... ...

So I write this, would like to call everyone together for their fuel.

Unfortunately, they are infected, and now has been isolated, they can not see their loved ones, they have lost freedom, they are very painful, very unwilling. So let us give them the courage to give them strength! Let us wish them a speedy recovery!

H1N1流感，自从这个魔爪伸进地球，伸进我们的世界就引起了极大的轰动。从莫斯科，美国，学习英语的网站，日本……到我们中国，无一幸免，可见其传播速度之快。虽然我们利用我们己有的医学技术，可以预防，可以根治，但是却还是令人恐慌。最可笑的是，有人因此而不吃猪肉。然而，这些都不是我关注的焦点，令我关注的，令我伤心的是：

当我们国家的第一个被传染者被发现时，就是那个从国外回来的四川人，我听到的大部分都是大家的苛责，这令我异常难过。原本从国外回来，是件好事，是间喜事。却因为连自己也不知道被传染的事搅的得一塌糊涂，成了件悲事。原本我想我们应该为他难过，应该去帮助他。然而，很多人却说：“在国外就不要回来嘛!”“还搞的我们人心惶惶的。”……

所以我写这篇，学英语的好网站，想呼吁大家，一起为他们加油。

他们不幸感染上了，现在被隔离，他们不能见到自己的亲人，好的英语学习网站，他们失去了自由，他们也很痛苦，很不甘。所以让我们给他们勇气，给他们力量!让我们一起祝愿他们早日康复!

Section just after the autumnal equinox, they feel a bit cool. Gradually yellow leaves can not withstand the wind and rain to destroy the destruction of a piece of leaf leaves falling in the high and low roof, falling on the road in large and small, falling in criss-crossing the river.

Autumn rain is light blue, crystal clear. 10 million silver, rippling in the air, fans of the veil, draped over the dark faint fields.

the lake. It is one of my friends’ house, where their families often spend the

holiday together. Though the house was not big, the environment around was

really beautiful. In the daytime, we walked around the lake and appreciated the

beauty of nature. At night, we made some food and barbecued. It was such a happy

海洋是生命是摇篮，我们人类从诞生到现在处处都离不开海洋。

“听—”又是海啊!它啊还真不知道厌倦，从早到晚，从古至今，依旧演奏着那首曲子。这曲虽演奏了很多遍，但还是那么让人回味，优美的声韵如天籁般缓缓流出，忽而高昂，激情，忽而冷若冰霜。此曲绝不亚于贝多芬的月光曲，这是大自然的杰作啊!

记得有人说过海是上帝的眼泪，它在人间看尽了世间的是是非非，不论是执子之手也好，还是生离死别也罢，早就尽收于它的眼底。他像一面镜子倒映出这个世界的一切。

人类离不开大海。海洋是资源的宝库，它为我们提供了无穷无尽的资源。随着社会的进步，人类对大自然的需求也越来越大，煤，石油，天然气。这些已经被认为是无法再生资源的宝贵资源，现有许多已在海姑娘的怀抱里沉睡着，她们也许已经厌倦了人类的贪婪和无穷的欲望了吧!探测结果表明，世界上石油资源储存约为10000亿吨，可开采的约3000亿吨，其中海底储存为1300亿吨。

人类离不开大海。海洋不仅仅是资源宝库，还是一个大的粮仓。也许有人会说是我胡说，海里没有稻谷，没有粮食，哪可以算是粮仓?那你就错了!鱼，虾，海带，现在大到酒店小到贫穷农家，哪个的餐桌上没有这些东西?这些来自大海的天然粮食不但美味可口，而且还含有丰富的营养和药用价值。海参是一种含有高蛋白的名贵海味，它具有抑制肿瘤的作用;牡蛎不但鲜美可口，还具有抗肿瘤的作用。诸如此类的还有很多，就不一一列举了，如要详细讲恐怕讲到明天也说不完。

人类离不开大海。海洋是交通的要道，它为人类从事海上交通。舟，小船，游轮，潜艇，如果没了它们真不知道我们该怎样发扬我们中国的特产，怎样和国界外的人们交流。这全要归功于大海呀!

设想如果没了大海，世界将会怎样?没了海，中国也许到现在还是一个默默无闻的国家;没了海，世界将会少掉一片令人向往的蓝色;没了海，地球将失去生机，成为一个没有生命的球体，那时的它也许不再是蓝色和白色的纹痕相互交错，周围裹着一层薄薄的水蓝色纱衣的地球了吧!

为了地球，同样也为了我们美好的明天保护海洋吧!保护它那美丽无暇的淡蓝色不被一点污渍所玷污，保护那生我们养我们的海洋，并给予它最真诚的回报。海洋就像是一位母亲一样，把它的所有都贡献给了我们，而我们又做了一些什么呢?向它仍垃圾?向她一味的索取，最后遗忘了她?对不起，这种没有良心的事我做不到。相信是人总不会这样做。

“听——”大海又在呼唤我们了，这一回我听明白了，它真正要说的话。你们听明白了吗?

I am a shy girl, when my teachers ask me the questions, I will always low

down my head and answer them with small voice. Because of my character, I miss

the chances to make myself stand out and I also don’t have many friends. I

really want to change my situation, I don’t want to be a stand by anymore, I

want to be part of the group. So I force myself to join the class activities, I

find I enjoy them and I talk to my classmate a lot. I become active and start to

try more things, I take part in the debate competition and show my ability, I

find my stage.

I like to play basketball very much, so when I went to middle school, I joined the basketball team. Last week, our team had a match, we were against another school, all of us were so excited and wanted to win.

When the match began, our team worked very slowly, we could not cooperate very well, because this was the first time for us to play.

When half match time went, we lagged behind, our team leader called us together and told us we must get united, so that we could have the chance to win. Then we played hard and cooperated so well, we won the game at last, it was so amazing, union is strength.

我很喜欢打篮球，因此当我上初中的时候，我加入了篮球队。上周，我们队有一场比赛，是对阵另一个学校，我们都感到很兴奋，因为这是我们第一次大比赛。当比赛半场过去了，我们处于落后，队长把我们叫在了一起，告诉我们必须要团结，这样才有机会赢。我们打得很拼命，配合得很好，最后终于赢得了比赛，真是美妙极了，团结就是力量。

Unit Fourteen

The Lord and the Hermit

Once upon a time there was a rapacious lord. He was relentless to his tenants and quelled them by placing quotas to their living condition. Soon he collected quantitatively great revenue and lived in a radiate palace. He was also renowned for his queer clothes.

One day the lord’s disease relapsed, so he rallied his subordinates for help. One of them said: “I’ve heard of a recluse who knows regimen well residing nearby. Why not visit his residence for help?” Another retorted: “Be prudent, maybe it is only a rumor.” But the rash lord was filled with rapture and ratified the visiting plan.??

On the next Sunday, the lord purged himself, held a quaint rite and started for the hermit’s home. They passed rugged rustic passages full of paddles and the lord almost recoiled. Finally they arrived. The lord felt disappointed at the recluse’s reception, but he wouldn’t relinquish the chance and talked to the hermit with reverence.

The hermit ruminated and reverted to the main topic in a pungent voice: “I’ve heard lots of your ravenous deeds. You retract the land you’ve distributed to the farmers and order them to redeem their land. You must redress your guilt and rehabilitate their freedom. Reimburse their respective debts and build refuge for them. You can retain the residue of your property.”??

The lord was reluctant to renounce his wealth and be rent from his palace. He rebuked: “Your advice is too reckless. I’m resolute not to accept it.”

“Why so repulsive? You cannot repudiate my words.” The hermit reiterated his suggestion and its resonance echoed. “Remit their taxes with rebates, or a riot is imminent.”

The lord again refuted. At last he went back in remorse.
