The summer vacation had come round again。 I was happy that I could forget about school at least for a while。 Lest I fool around all through this summer vacation， I made a plan as to how to spend it。 First， I thought I should go over all those things my teachers taught in the previous term so that I could have a better understanding of them。 Then I thought I should take up some forms of exercise， such as walking， running rowing， to keep me physically strong。 It stood to reason that with such a good plan I should make the best of my vacation time。 I did， because I lived up to what I had planned。

Since I went to school, I spent a lot of time in study. My classmates and

teachers are just like my families. We almost meet each other every day. My

teachers help me a lot. When I meet problems in study, they are very patient and

help me to figure out the answers. When I have trouble in getting along with

other students, they will talk to me and comfort me. I am so thankful to them,

because they care about me just like my parents. I respect them so much. In my

heart, they are the great people. I must study hard so that I can return their

love.

"Enough! Enough!"I said when Father and Mother were still giving me more fish ad meat. My bowl was piled up like a little hill.

"Dont study too late into the night. Do be careful of your health. Have you had any examinations recently?"Father asked me in great concern.

My face turned red. I didnt dare to give Father an answer. I hadnt made any progress in my studies. I did badly in all subjects. I only got 60 for maths and failed in physics.

"It doesnt matter. Try to find better study methods and to work harder. I am sure you can enter a college!"Hearing these words, I bent my head down. What a kind father! He didnt scold me, but encouraged me instead.

"Have you used up the money I gave you last night?"With these words, Father was taking his wallet out."Mother has just given me 10 yuan.""Buy something to eat when you are hungry."Father passed me another ten-yuan note.

Should I accept it? Father and Mother love me deeply. Why couldnt I get god marks in exams? Tears came into my eyes.

"Dont cry. Now I will take you to the bus stop."As usual, Father carried that heavy bag and went to his dirty old bike.

The Spring Festival, the most jubilant and important festival in China, is

observed by most Chinese people at home and abroad. Our hometown is not an

exception.

Similar with other places in china, we prepare for the festival about half

a month before. With the lunar New Year approaching, the red lanterns are hung

up along the main streets, making the ancient town filled with the festival

atmosphere. While people clean up their houses, decorate it with traditional

decorations such as Chinese knots and paper cutting. Each family pastes up

Spring Festival couplets to convey their best wishes for the coming year.

Water is very important to us. If you don’t have water for three days, you

will die. We can use water for flowers, swimming, washing and many different

things. We use it to cook, make electricity, put out fires and so on. We use

millions of liters of water every day.

Do you know how does the water come to your home? It travels through water

pipes. Some are long and wide but some are short and narrow. Then the water

travels through the water pipes to the reservoirs. Then it travels through the

water pipes to the river and to the special factories (we call water plants)

that purify the water. When the water is purified, we can drink it. Please don’t

leave garbage in the water on which we line, and keep the water clean.

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.

[腊八节初中英语作文

1、说明文是客观的说明事物的一种文体，目的在于给人以知识：或说明事物的状态、性质、功能，叫做事物说明文；或阐明事理，叫做事理说明文。

2、说明要有顺序，这是使说明内容条理化的必要条件。常见的说明顺序有：时间顺序、空间顺序、顺序。

说明的时间顺序和记叙的时间顺序相似。

空间顺序要特别注意弄清空间的位置，注意事物的表里、大小、上下、前后、左右、东西南北等的位置和方向。

逻辑顺序常以推理过程来表现，一般包括从原因到结果、从主要到次要、从整体到局部、从总说到分说再到总说、从现象到本质、从特点到用途等几种类型。

3、说明文的语言的准确性是说明文语言的先决条件。表示时间、空间、数量、范围、程度、特征、性质、程序等，都要求准确无误。在准确的前提下，说明文的语言有的以平实见长，有的以生动活泼见长。

4、说明方法

为了把事物特征说清楚，或者把事理阐述明白，必须有相应的说明方法。常见的说明方法有举例子、分类别、列数据、作比较、画图表、下定义、作诠释、打比方、摹状貌等。写说明文要根据说明对象和写作目的，选用最佳方法.

As the drawing presents, there is a man walking across the street absorbedly focusing on his cell phone without noticing the surroundings. This sort of phenomenon is not uncommon and rare in some metropolis, especially among the youngsters.

What the picture illustrates is the prevailing situation that has long existed in todays China. That is the mobile phone obsession. With the advent of information age, people are becoming increasingly fascinated on the electronic products, especially the cell phones. Not surprisingly, you could easily notice that most of us are obsessed in sending messages, playing online games with their mobile phones. It cannot be denied that this phenomenon may negatively impact the relationship among people, and therefore they will become estranged and isolated.

Personally, in view of the overuse of mobile phones, I hold that we individuals should raise the necessary awareness that good relationship are reinforced by sincere and face-to-face communication.

It

is important to know our good and bad points because this knowledge will help us

to improve ourself. We should examine ourselves and learn who we are.

Above

all, we should recognize our strengths and weaknesses. For example, I am healthy

and fit, so I can work hard. Im also optimistic, humble and polite. These are

my strengths. However, I also have weaknesses. For one thing, Im stubborn and a

little impatient. Im sometimes lazy as well and can spent a whole day just

watching TV and eating junk food. Im not ashamed to admit these bad pints.

Knowing what they are lets me focus on improving myself.

在他80多岁的时候，他决定学习法律，然后他在2006年取得了硕士学位，在当时他是获得该学位中年龄最大的一位，并创造了世界纪录。2012年，通过网络学习他取得了第四个学位。他总是善于合理安排学习的时间，因此他的老师非常欣赏他。

他坚持他的观点，那就是他在挑战自我的路上，永远为时不晚。

写作方法属于艺术表现方法（即：艺术手法和表现手法，也含表达手法（技巧）），常见的有：夸张，对比，比喻，拟人，悬念，照应，联想，想象，抑扬结合、点面结合、动静结合、叙议结合、情景交融、衬托对比、伏笔照应、托物言志、白描细描、铺垫悬念、正面侧面比喻象征、借古讽今、卒章显志、承上启下、开门见山，烘托、渲染、动静相衬、虚实相生，实写与虚写，托物寓意、咏物抒情等。表达方式就是常见的叙述、描写、抒情、议论和说明。（其实也属于艺术表现手法）。

1、第一人称叙事法

【特点】由于文章的内容是通过“我”传达给读者，表示文章中所写的都是叙述人的亲眼所见，亲耳所闻，或者就是叙述者本人的亲身经历，使读者得到一种亲切真实的感觉。采用第一人称，由于叙述人是当事人，所以叙述的人与事，只能是“我”活动范围内的人物和事件。活动范围以外的人物和事情就不能写进去。

2、第三叙事法

【特点】用第三人称叙事，叙述人既不受空间、时间的限制，也不受生理、心理的限制，可以直接把文章中的人和事展现在读者面前，能自由灵活地反映社会生活。但第三人称叙事又往往不如第一人称叙事那么亲切自然。

3补叙法

【特点】补叙主要用于对上文的叙述补充说明，一般是片断性的、简要的，不具备完整的事件，也可以把解释或说明的文字放有前面，以引起下文。补叙的作用，一般不发展情节、事件，只对原来的叙述起丰富、补充作用。

4插叙法

【特点】插叙是为了表达文章中心的需要。有时是为了帮助读者了解故事情节的追叙；有时是对出场人物的情节作注释、说明。使用插叙一定要服从表达中心思想的需要，做到不节外生枝，不喧宾夺主。在插入叙述的时候，还要注意文章的过渡、照应和衔接，不能有断裂的痕迹。

5倒叙法

【特点】倒叙并不是把整个事件都倒过来叙述，而是除了把某个部分提前外，其他仍是顺叙的方法。采用倒叙的情况一般有三种：一是为了表现文章中心思想的需要，把最能表现中心思想的部分提到前面，加以突出；二是为了使文章结构富于变化，避免平铺直叙；三是为了表现效果的需要，使文章曲折有致，造成悬念，引人入胜。倒叙时要交代清楚起点。倒叙与顺叙的转换处，要有明显的界限，还要有必要的文字过渡，做到自然衔接。特别要注意，不要无目的地颠来倒去，反反复复，使文章的眉目不清。

[初中作文写作有什么方法

一、立足基本点

初中说明文写作教学是以培养记叙能力为基础的写作教学新阶段。说明文的写作必须具备科学性、客观性的特点。这是写说明文的两个基本点和根本点，也是教学的难点。教学中切忌对学生泛泛要求，要以记叙为基础，用分解法突出抓好两个基本点。其一，文体特点要突出“说清楚。”首先着眼于说明文的科学性，强调写清事物的外部特征和内部结构，方法应不限于平实解说。初中教材中的《蜘蛛》、《晋祠》等课文，大半是生动的描述。《第比利斯地下印刷所》既说明了建筑结构，又介绍了革命史迹，通篇表现出浓重的记叙性。起始阶段应把这种说明文类型作为文体要求的起点。因为对事物的情趣与感受是学生写作的主要诱因。若只强调平实介绍，无益于用记叙基础实现“说清楚”的目标。其二，基本题材要紧扣“熟知的事物”。初中说明文集中体现出一个基本题材——建筑物。尤其是第三册集中安排了一个建筑类说明文单元。这是因建筑物与学生实际生活的关系最密切。起始训练应把建筑物作为基本题材之一，由简到繁集中命题，以求依题成格，触类旁通。

作文题材除了要注重课文依据外，更重要的是要注重学生熟知的事物。如《怎样淹渍西红柿》、《怎样写阅读笔记》等，可先让学生实践，使训练活动成为育人的一个步骤，这样，写起来既是介绍学生所熟知的事物，又可使学以致用。

二、突破认识关

写说明文必须对被说明事物有完整的认识。要做到这一点，就要认真观察，深入了解。

初中生观察事物的通病是走马观花。因而，指导观察应有针对性。可先列提纲，让学生带着问题逐步观察，随手作笔记和图示。观察时要引导学生理清主次，主要掌握概括性观察和特写性观察。有条件的最好摄制些教学录像图片，提供观察框架，通过声像并举的画面进行观察训练。这样，不仅可有效地纠正学生笼统观察的毛病，还可培养学生选点设框的观察能力。

但是，完整的认识仅凭观察是无法形成的。古人观了赵州桥，“不知其所以为”。今人游故宫难以发现皇上的宝座是在北京城南北轴线的中心点上。一些特定的原理、数据、掌故是不可能观察到的。综览教材，凡说明文，都可分出物象说明和意象说明的成分。物象说明只是从空间上说明事物的“形”，而意象说明则能从时间延续、掌故原委上说明事物的“神”。而要进行意象说明，就必须具备有关说明的知识。写说明文的最大难点也就在此。所以，教师指导的任务之一就是让学生积累知识。起始阶段，教师应多方引导，必要时要“下水”示范，尽可能向学生提供材料丰富的半成品，让学生整理选择取舍，力争写一篇成一篇，获得规范的写作体验。

三、借助仿写桥

学生对被说明事物具备了相应的知识，还会遇到行文障碍。因此在章法安排、语言运用等方面必须排除一些难点。从整体上说，有效之法是仿写。模仿是创新的基础，是技能形成的捷径和桥梁。

但是运用教材范例指导学生仿写，必须据学生的实际确定模仿点，而不是雷同。如《香山红叶》和《人民大会堂》都是以行踪为序组材的。前者是散文，行踪露得很实在，充分表现了“我”与同游者的感受，外化了散文作品的感情意蕴，主观性叙述贯穿全文。而后者是说明文，“我”和建筑师的行踪表现得很简洁，只在２、９、１２、１４段中点了点，成为一条虚线，等于带读者将大会堂游了一遍。把教材中的范例举出来，作为按行踪顺序介绍的一个仿点，可提高学生习作的成功率。教材中的仿点很丰富，要针对学生实际，循序而仿。通过借助仿写这个捷径和桥梁，让学生深切地体会说明文的章法安排、语言运用的特点，进而掌握说明文的写法和结构。

训练难点：

怎样掌握写人记事的方法

训练时数：三课时

第一课时

教学内容：

作文指导

教学步骤：

一、知识讲解：

(一)什么是记叙的要素

记叙文就是以记叙为主要表达方式的记人叙事的文章。一篇完整的记叙文一般应包括时间、地点、人物、事件、原因和结果这“六要素”。

那么为何称之为“要素”?

我们知道，记叙文主要是记人叙事的，这“人”和“事”自然包括在要素中，而这“人”和“事”又必须是特定时间、特定地点的“人”和“事”。如英雄刘胡兰是革命战争年代在山西从事革命工作的女共产党员;铁人王进喜是新中国成立不久奋战在大庆油田的劳模。没有时间、地点，也就无法记人与叙事。很显然，时间、地点是记叙文不可缺少的要素。要写人必定要写事，让人物在事件中凸现，在事件中丰满;写事件就必须交待清楚事件发生的原因和结果，没有原因和结果，人们就不知道它的来龙去脉，也就不是一篇完整的记叙文，显然，原因与结果也是记叙的要素。

(二)怎样合理地交待时间与地点

交待时间与地点，大致有以下几种方式：

1.开头交待。

这是人们叙述时时常采用的方法。例如，《竞选》的开头：

五月的天气有点阴。

龟峰乡石坳村的村民选举即将开始，321位选民端坐在会场上。

开头把竞选的时间、地点交待清楚了，为下面叙述竟选场面作了必要的交待。

2.连续交待。

有的记叙文，因事件的发生、发展时间跨度大，地点在不断转移，需要连续交待。如《驿路梨花》中的几处交待：

(1)一弯新月升起来了，我们借助淡淡的月光，在忽明忽暗的梨花林里走着。山间的夜风吹得人脸上凉凉的，梨花的白色花瓣轻轻飘落在我们身上。

(2)第二天早上，我们没有立即上路。老人也没有离开，我们决定把小茅屋修葺一下，给屋顶加点草，把房前屋后的排水沟再挖深一些。

(3)接着，小姑娘向我们讲述了房子的来历。十多年前，有一队解放军路过这里，在树林里过夜，半夜淋了大雨。他们说，这里要有一间给过路人避风雨的小屋就好了，第二天早晨就砍树割草盖起了房子。

(1)段交待的时间是夜晚，地点是梨树林;(2)段交待的时间是第二天早上，地点是(梨树林)茅屋旁;(3)段是补充交待，时间是十多年前，地点是树林。这样连续交待，所叙述的事情就显得脉络分明。

3.间接交待。

对于时间和地点的表示，不一定直接写某年某月某日，某省某市某区，如“桃花开了”“枫叶红了”“天空出现鱼肚白”“几颗寒星还在泛着冷光”，它们分别间接表示“春天”“秋天”“早晨”“夜晚”等时间概念，还有如“雪域高原”“春城”“板栗之乡”，分别间接表达了“西藏”“昆明”“罗田”等地点概念。

(三)怎样合理交待人物与事件

1.人物的正面描写与侧面描写。

(1)正面描写。外貌(肖像)、行动、语言、心理描写属正面描写。

A外貌描写。《背影》为例。

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.

After a short but happy winter holiday, we come back to school today.

Its the beginning of the new term. I am happy to see all of my classmates

come back.

Most of us stayed at home to celebrate the New Year. And some of us went to

travel with their families. In short, all of us had a happy winter holiday.
