难忘的事情英语作文初二(推荐20篇)

我的家乡，是生我养我的地方。

虽然她没有泰山那样的“一览众山小”;没有西湖的“淡装浓抹总相宜”;没有黄山的“奇松、怪石、云雾、温泉”;更没有苏州园林的小巧玲珑。但是我依然爱她，她养育了我。

我的家乡在一个小县城，那里环境不算繁华热闹，但一走进山林，仿佛就走进了人间仙境。我依稀记得，我在儿时常和奶奶一起上山找竹笋，而我就跟在奶奶身后，欣赏着不约而同向我迎面开来的小花。山上的花各种颜色都有：黄的、粉的、白的……

我经常会摘一些，回到家后，我找来一些塑料瓶，把里面灌满水，把花装进这些所谓的“花瓶”里，算是给家里增添了几分色彩吧。山上的竹子十分的多，一颗连着一棵，密密麻麻的，没有一点儿缝隙。我常抱着竹子转圈圈，直到头晕目眩才会停下。可以说，大山是我的“游乐场”。

家乡的油菜花也是一道亮丽的风景。二三月份，正是油菜花开得茂盛的时节，他们像比赛似的，谁也不输给谁，竞相争妍斗艳。油菜花的花瓣是黄色的，而下面的叶子和秸秆是青绿色的，蜜蜂常在花瓣上飞来飞去，“嗡嗡”的闹着。油菜花是一大片连着一大片，从远处望去，像一片黄色的海洋。前几个星期，我和朋友一起去了山顶——我们去放风筝。我一手拿着风筝线，一手拿着风筝，一声“预备放”，风筝就飞到了上空，我们欢呼着。过后，我们又童心未泯——玩起了捉迷藏，真是天时、地利、人和。一人蒙眼，几人躲进油菜地，几轮过，落日的余晖照在了我们身上，我们要回家了……

家乡，我爱恋的家乡，你竟让我如此着迷!

Since we go to school, we are taught that no pain, no gain, it means that

if people want to be successful, they must work hard. But the truth is that not

everyone can get what they want, even they work hard so much, but if working

hard does not bring success, why should they still need to work hard. In my

opinion, working hard doesn’t mean the person can success certainly, success

needs more factors, like the time, the luck and other things. There is no doubt

that if the person does not work hard and fight for his goal, there is no way

for him to get what he wants. Some actors start their career at the very young

age, when they are also 40, they become famous suddenly, if they give up, they

can’t be waiting for their reputation. So working hard, there is much chance to

get succeed.

With the development of economy, there are more and more vehicles on the

streets. Governments at all levels have to do something to solve the problem of

heavy traffic in the city.

I would like to share with you some ideas about this problem: firstly, the

government should build more roads. This action can decrease the degree of

street congestion and make it possible for cars to run faster than ever before.

But each coin has two sides. If a city builds too many roads, the streets will

occupy much land. We will have little space used for other purposes. So

secondly, more special bus lines for public transportation should be added. Thus

people can go conveniently everywhere they like; they will not ride bikes or

drive cars. In this way, the number of cars and bikes on the road will be

greatly cut down.

As far as I am concerned, if we want to solve this problem, we should set

up an idea of public transportation first and give a priority to this idea in

our traffic work.

Footballis connected with the people throughout the world.

It has become a part of peoples life..Every day, man), football matches are going on here and there around the world.

Pick up a newspaper and you can learn the the results of the football matches. We enjoy playing football, watching football games after work. During the football matches of the World Cup,millions of people watch the matches on TV.

When their favorite teams win, they will give them three cheers. When they fail,they feel sad. We all hope our national team will be the strongest one in the world.

Nowadays, motorcycles are popular around us. They have become an important

means of transport in Chinese cities. Compared with the bike and the car, the

motorcycle has its own advantages. First, it is quite flexible. When there is a

traffic jam, it can go through the cars that are held up in the street. Besides,

it doesnt consume much petrol. Most important of all, it can carry another

person at the back. But every coin has two sides. The negative aspects are also

apparent. To begin with, its very complicated to get qualified fur riding a

motorcycle. Youll have to go through a series of procedures to get a riding

license. Furthermore, the maintenance is expensive. Worst of all, it costs a big

sum of money to pay fur the license plate, especially in big cities.

In conclusion, it has both favorable and unfavorable aspects. However, if

the authorities concerned simplify the procedures and reduce the cost of the

license plate, the motorcycle will be accepted by more people.

天上的星星一颗又一颗，我心中的事一件又一件。但随着时间的流逝，有很多都淡忘了，唯有一件事仍深深地印在我的脑海里。至今历历在目，难以忘怀。

前些天的一个晚上，我突然发起了高烧。温度直逼40度，浑身滚烫，手脚冰凉，脸烧的红彤彤的，浑身酸痛，难受的直哼哼。妈妈急忙帮我找药，冲药，轻轻地吹凉发烫的水，一勺一勺地喂到我的嘴里，还不断地轻声询问我哪里不舒服，妈妈的句句询问让我倍感温暖。为了让烧退快点退下去，妈妈又拖着疲惫的身体，为我进行物理降温，额头上的毛巾不知换了多少次。当我呕吐的时候，她又会用手轻轻地拍打我的背，还为我收拾连我自己都觉得恶心，熏人的脏物。这一夜就在我的折腾中度过了。第二天一大早，妈妈让爸爸去学校为我向老师请假，自己却和我一起坐出租车去了职工医院，当医生为我打吊针的时候，我的手有些发抖，您的句句鼓励让我不再害怕，当我躺在病床上的时候，一个挨一个的故事让我忘记了病痛。

一天后，我的烧退了，可妈妈的眼却红了；我的烧退了，妈妈的眼窝却深了；我的烧退了，妈妈上火了。我把一杯去火茶端到妈妈面前，妈妈欣慰的笑了。

这真是一件令我终身难忘的事，它让我明白了母爱的伟大，同时也让我为有一位这样的好妈妈而倍感幸福。

一番长长的对话后，终于挂电话了。

我的假期生活是非常愉快的。

想知道我的假期非常愉快吗？我说给你听听吧！

在领成绩单时，看见分数不太满意，考差也不要紧，因为“失败是成功之母”不满意又有什么办法呢？还是好好学习吧，只有好好学习才能考得到好分数。

回到家，我的目标只有好好学习了，拿着作业写。这时，铃铃铃一个电话来了，我走到客厅去接电话“喂，哪位？”“小雯，我是你大姑妈。”我兴奋地差点跳了起来，我连忙回复说：“姑妈，你好，你有什么事吗？”姑妈说：“你和你爸爸、你妈妈不回老家了吗？”我想了想说：“不回了，去年已经回过一回了，今年在这里陪陪我姥爷和姥姥，我舅舅在这里要结婚，没时间回去……”一番长长的对话后，终于挂电话了。

十天后，过年了，大早上我和爸爸去逛街。买了好多好多油炸食品。又买了许多水果：火龙果、红毛丹、红蛇果、西柚。看见那么多好吃的，真是觉得那年过得太有滋有味了。

到了晚上，姥姥、姥爷、表妹、表弟、大舅妈、大舅、三舅、三舅妈都陆续地来到我们家团聚。

大家聚在一起，有说有笑，开开心心地享受过年。

我的假期生活话题太多了，改天再告诉你吧！

There is a saying said that dont give up forever.When I was a child,my teachers often told that dont give up,and the hope was always there.

Whenever we meet with a problem,however hard the problem is,we shouldnt stop our work.We must have a faith that the most beautiful view will come in after the most high hill.There are also many examples,such as Zhang Haidi,Zheng ZHihua,Helen Keller and so on,they all had a bad life,but they all successed by their efforts.

In a word,if we have dreams,we should do our best to come true our dreams,we shouldnt give up!

【翻译】

有一种说法说，永远不要放弃。当我还是个孩子的时候，我的老师经常说，不要放弃，希望总是存在的。

当我们遇到一个问题，不管这个问题是，我们不应该停止我们的工作。我们必须有一个信念，最美丽的景色会在最高的后山。也有很多例子，如张海迪，郑智化，海伦，凯勒等，他们都有一个坏的生活，但他们都成功地通过他们的努力。

总之，如果我们有梦想，我们应该尽我们最大的努力去实现我们的梦想，我们不应该放弃!

Dear Tom,

How are you?

I would like to tell you something that took place in my school yesterday. In the afternoon the school held a growing-up ceremony for our coming 18-year-old birthday. At the beginning we made an oath that as grown-ups we should have a sense of responsibility for our society. Next we expressed our thands to our parents who brought us up and to our teachers for their education. Then our teachers gave us cards with good wishes. Finally, we had wonderful performances. I learned a lot from the activity. I am sure the ceremony is very important for us. From then on we will know our responsibilities as grown-ups.

Yours,

Li Hua

在小学六年的生涯里，每一个人都会经历过多多少少的难忘的事，我也不例外。下面我就讲讲其中一件最难忘的事吧！

在五年级的暑假里，我参加了中音号的考级。我这次报考的是六级。我考级前几天都一直十分刻苦地训练，准备着考级。

在九月的24号，我们终于迎来了考级，我可以说是志在必得了。我那天怀着激动又紧张的心情来到了学校，去到了管乐室。在等待的时候，我还训练了一会儿。差不多的时候，我就放松一下，散散心，迎接考级。终于轮到我了，我缓缓地走进管乐室，向考级老师鞠了一躬，就开始吹奏了。我背谱吹，我觉得我吹得不错，就是手指在键子上滑了一下，吹错了一两个音，想老师也不会扣我的分吧。吹完了，我长长地舒了一口气，再次向老师鞠躬，就走出管乐室了。

考完级了，我“偷偷”地看了看我的分数。哇！优！六级过了，并且得了优，我整个暑假的辛勤劳动终是没有白费。一个月后，我拿到了考级证书。

我通过考级，更深刻地认识到了：只要努力，就能成功！

One day, I just got on a crowded bus back home after school. A woman behind me pushed me hard forward,and shouted loudly," Go, Go, Go inside. Dont stand at the dood. It is so crowded." I was so angry and thought she was a bored woman. But I went inside.  After a while, the moman went up to me and said in a low voice," someone put his hand into your bag. I really wanted to help you. I checked my bag and all the things were inside. I felt so ashamed that I only said," I am so sorry, but thank you."

Ive been through many things since childhood, and the most memorable thing happened on Christmas day several years ago.

I heard that Santa Claus would give the lovely baby a gift on Christmas day. I went to bed early that night and hoped that when I woke up in the morning of the second day, there would be a dream assembly toy at the head of my bed. Second day open eyes, wow! I really have a pillow next to the toy box.

"Mom, mom! Santa came over last night really gave me a toy." "I was so happy that I ran out of my bedroom with my toys in my arms without socks," I shouted to my mother. My mother smiled and said: "as long as the babys good, Santa will give him a gift."

"The Santa Claus from what place in? I had no chimney, the window is so high, will not hurt him? How did he know that I love the toy?" I asked very much puzzled.

"Santa Claus not only plays tricks, but also guesses," he said."

"Oh, that came over Santa and on TV like?" I asked.

"Silly boy, ha ha ha ha," my sister laughed angrily. "What Santa Claus is there?" she said. "Thats my mother on your bedside."."

"No, no! Its Santa Claus! Not Mommy!"." I excused myself, looking at my mother for help. My mother only smiled but did not reply.

Finally, in my strong request, my mother was forced to say, "she sent me," I suddenly realized. I remember it so much now that I remember it for a long time.

With the passage of time, many things have disappeared from my mind, but there is one thing that makes me unforgettable.

It was a mid-term examination, the teacher took the test papers into the classroom, made the papers, I turned over, turned over, no one question can be a rare one, I do not care thirty-seven, the title of a fill, with almost four Ten minutes to finish the test questions, and I look at the surrounding students, they are in the head down the words of writing.

As long as they are at home, we will not need to go shopping and cooking by ourselves any more.If any family member get ill, we can still stay in our apartment. Because the robot is the doctor.

After 5.12 earthquake struck sichuan province since 2008, we, I was so frightened by an earthquake, I felt the earthquake many houses will be apart, can let many people lost their lives, is one of the worlds most terrible disaster. Today I saw "China childrens encyclopedia, really know anything about earthquake.

It turns out that the earthquake happened all of a sudden the vibration phenomenon, like the wind, rain, is a kind of common natural phenomena. Vibrations in the earth, in fact, very frequently, probably every 30 seconds there will be time, but most of them are very ease, people did not feel. We can feel the earthquake is due to the relative movement between earths tectonic plates, rock is squeezed, produce a huge amount of energy to make rock failure in an instant, or make originally the already existing fracture activity, suddenly release a large amount of energy, and some of the energy to the earths surface, make the earth trembling violently, causing strong earthquake. Started happening earthquake site is called the source, the source above the ground is called the epicenter, the ground of the devastating earthquake is the most strong place is called the magistoseismic area, while the magistoseismic area often is the place where the epicenter. When the earthquake occurred, the source of shock wave in the earths crust to all directions called seismic waves. Seismic waves hit the ground, the result will be a disaster.

We Chinese people are very smart, as early as the eastern han dynasty, there is a man named zhang heng scientists invented to measure the earthquake Hou Feng seismograph, and our modern scientists are generally measured the spread of seismic wave speed with the help of a seismograph, the place and time of the earthquake.

Know the earthquake knowledge, learning even before the earthquake early warning and self protection method, I think, to know that knowledge is very useful for our own.

自从2008年我们四川发生5.12大地震之后，我就特别害怕地震，我觉得地震会震垮很多房屋，会让许多人失去生命，是世界上最可怕的灾难。今天我看了《中国少年儿童百科全书》后，才真正知道地震是怎么回事。

原来，地震是突然间发生的大地震动现象，就像刮风、下雨一样，是一种很普遍的自然现象。地球上的震动实际上非常频繁，大概每30秒种就会有一次，但大多数都非常缓和，人们都没有感觉。我们能感觉到的地震是由于地球板块之间产生相对运动，岩石层受到严重挤压，产生巨大的能量使岩石在瞬间发生断裂，或者使原来已经存在的断裂突然活动，释放出大量能量，而其中一部分能量传到地球表面，使大地剧烈地颤动，从而引起强烈地震。地震开始发生的地点称为震源，震源上方的地面称为震中，破坏性地震的地面最烈处称为极震区，而极震区往往就是震中所在的地方。地震发生时，震源发出的在地壳中传向四面八方的冲击波称为地震波。地震波冲击到地面，就会引发灾难。

我们中国人非常聪明，早在东汉时期，就有一位叫张衡的科学家发明了用来观测地震的侯风地动仪，而我们现代的科学家也一般都借助地震仪来测量地震波的传播速度，判断地震发生的地点和时间。

知道了地震知识以后，还要学习地震发生前的提前预警和自我保护方法，我想，了解到这些知识对我们自己是非常有用的。

Great changes have taken place in peoples life in the past 20 years .In the past ,people kept in touch with relatives or friends mainly by sending. Letters ,they would listen to the radio for news and other information.Children used to go to school by bicycle .Big families had to share small rooms .

【参考译文】

在人们的生活发生了巨大的变化在过去的20年。在过去,人们与亲戚朋友保持联系主要是通过发送。信,他们会听广播新闻和其他信息。孩子们过去骑自行车去上学。大家庭有分享小房间。

现在人们可以在互联网上和他人交谈通过电话或在家里。当他们是免费的,他们在电视上看新闻和其他节目。一些家庭足够富裕,在自己的车送他们的孩子去学校。越来越多的人住在大而明亮的闪光的天际和几个房间。

总之,人们比以前好。
