When you go up, ther are many rides, like a roller coaster, water ride and many things to do. I want to cry when my mom and I get on the roller coaster. I yelled, because the roller coaster is so exciting. I don’t want to ride it again, so I go to the ocean museum, and the polar bear place. The last thing is very good, it’s a waterride. We are very bored when we were in the middle. Suddenly, the water is pushing the boat. “Ahhhh!” I’m shouting, I’m very excited, the water is very fast, then the boat goes down. “Wow!” My mom yelled, and the ride is over. Our shirts are all wet, and the sky is almost dark, so we leave the park, and go back to Kowloon Hotel.

篇1:2024初中英语作文写作技巧指导
全文共 1649 字
+ 加入清单一、了解高分作文的特点
要想作文获得高分,必须了解高分作文具有的特点,才有助于我们朝之而努力。高分作文一般具有以下特点:
1、书写工整,书面整洁,很少有涂改痕迹。
2、分段合理。全文分段一般不止一个自然段,让阅卷老师很容易就能找到作文所要求写的要点和重要句子。
3、要点齐全,不缺要点。
4、首尾呼应,自然成一体。
5、使用了大量的高级词汇和句型。阅卷老师一看就知道这个同学的功底非不一般,自然就给打高分了。
6、开头言简意赅,不啰嗦,不偏题,迅速引入主题。
7、段与段之间,自然过渡。有合适的连接词。
8、句与句之间,有恰当的连接词,使之自然成一体。
9、全文中同一个意思,基本没有重复使用某一个词、短语或者句型等,说明这个同学的词汇量不同寻常。老师自然就对该作文有好感了。
10、能够恰当使用谚语、格言等给文章添彩。
二、勤积累,巧准备
要想作文得高分,除了了解以上的特点外,还要在平时的学习中注意一下方面:
1、牢记课标词汇是基础
一篇作文多数是由积极词汇写出来的,这些词汇主要来源于课标。因此,牢记课标词汇是写好作文的基础。
2、掌握课标词汇和短语的用法
要想作文不扣分或者少扣分,有个要求是作文的语病少。怎么能够减少语病呢?这就要求我们在平时的学习过程中反复通过练习,掌握课标词汇和短语等的用法。例如,对于assoonas、stopsomebodyfromdoingsomething、other、another等的用法很多学生就经常出错。
3、高度重视同一个意思的多种表达方式
高分作文有个特点是:让老师发现你拥有丰富的词汇量,你的水平高人一筹。这由何而来?靠我们在平时学习过程中,逐步积累起来的。比如:今年的中考作文,谈的就是帮助他人的问题。同一个意思“帮助”,假如你就用一个动词“help”,岂不显得你词汇贫乏?假如你在作文中不断地变换方式,用help、givesomebodyahand、giveahandtosomebody、beinneedof等以表达“帮助”同一个意思,岂不更好呢?
像这样的例子很多,比如:大家都觉得很简单又很基础的“表示姓名的方式”就有:MynameisJim.I’mJim.I’mcalled/namedJim.I’maboycalled/named/withthenameofJim.等等。
表达年龄的方式有:Sheis12.Sheis12yearsold.Sheisaged12.Sheisagirlof12(yearsold)。Sheisagirlaged12.等等。
很显然,使用高级一点的更好。
4、加强练习,积累经验
学习语言最好的方法是运用,作文也不例外。我们要想作文得高分,必须经常练习,才能提高水平。
5、充分利用作文范文
很多资料书上都有作文范文。诚然,他们有很多值得借鉴的地方。
我们怎么利用它们呢?首先,我们先不要看文章,自己先思考一下:假如你来写,你会怎么去写,会用到哪些词或者句子等。然后去比较,勾出其中的好词佳句,并且把它摘录在专门的作文册子上。供写作时选用。
另外,背一些范文也是很有必要的。
6、背诵一些谚语和警句
作文中如果出现恰当的谚语和警句,会有锦上添花的效果。
三、精心审题,沉着写初稿
很多同学看到作文后,下笔就写。这是不对的。一则很容易写偏题、写出病句,涂改后书面又不整洁,影响得分。
其实,会写作文的同学都知道,审题非常的重要,可以防止很多毛病,提高得分。那么我们审题要做些什么呢?
审题主要要做一下事情:
1、审人称、时态、体裁等
审题时,要求我们要弄清楚这篇文章主要使用的人称是第几人称,什么时态、什么体裁。这些问题解决后至少不会犯很严重的错误:全文皆错。例如,如果一篇文章,本来应该一般过去时,你的每句话却用了一般现在时态。你想想,那还能得高分吗?
2、明确必须表达的要点
高分作文有个特点是要点齐全。如果漏掉一个要点,则要扣分。因此我们必须认真细读其要求,把必须表达的要点勾出来。保证不漏掉任何一个要点。
3、罗列出可能会用到的短语、句型,确定好使用哪个?
4、确定好如何分段

篇4:初中英语环保作文
全文共 1109 字
+ 加入清单A Polluted Environment
Environmental pollution is a serious social problem. It poses a terrible threat to men’s health.
The atmosphere is filthy. The air is thick with dust and burnt oil. Dark smokes are being emitted from chimneys, and choking fumes are being
released from numerous vehicles. Stay a little while in a big city, then wipe your forehead with your handkerchief, it is black. Hang out your
washing on the line to dry, you will have to wash again. Garbage is left to accumulate in unsanitary heaps that attract flies and give off bad smell.
Nor is the pollution confined to air and land. Large quantity of sewage and chemical waste are dumped daily into rivers, lakes and the sea,
which kills millions of fish. Noises coming from honking cars, rumbling machines and broadcasting loudspeakers may make a person nervous and
irritable, even drive him crazy.
Environmental pollution is responsible for many diseases that are disabling, or bringing death to human beings.
In short, let’s take good care of our mother globe, not only for the well-being of ourselves, but also for that of our future generations.
篇5:有关交流英语作文初中
全文共 1956 字
+ 加入清单Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live we must
communicate with other people.
A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by
the simple means of speech.
If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are
likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news
or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of
society.
Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and
during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one
of the dominating factors of contemporary society.
Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications,
photography, radio and television.
Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of
communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news,
which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.
No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged
minority.
In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed
fortunate, but today there are public libraries.
Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people
sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into
millions of homes.
Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of
information.
The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society
and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and
entertainment.
The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with
informing, educating and entertaining.
Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is
very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the
vast modern network of communications is open to abuse.
However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no
turning back.

十月一日,有一个无法忘记的国庆黄金周,这次我在家中的电视中得知了嫦娥二号将于今年十月一日十八时五十九分五十七秒在西昌卫星发射中心点火发射。十九时整起飞,当我亲眼目睹了中国的航空伟业的时候,我又想起了嫦娥一号,它已经申请了十多项专利,而且还有八十多项专利正在申请中,这个嫦娥二号应该会更好,因为时代在进步。我还听说了,中国的xx事见。——xx,全称“xx群岛”,倭人称其为“尖阁列岛”。xx群岛由xx、黄尾岛、赤尾岛、南小岛、北小岛、大南小岛、大北小岛和飞濑岛等岛屿组成,总面积约七平方公里。它位于东经123°——124°34″,北纬25°4″——26°。
想一想中国的历史,想一想中国的现在,中国表面上虽然很弱,但如果今天的主席向称霸世界的话,中国还是可以做到的,只是现在的主席想的只是和平而已。
