初三英语作文：我的学校（精彩19篇）

I think smiling is as important as sunshine. Smiling is like sunshine because it can make people happy and have a good day. If you aren’t happy, you can smile, and then you will feel happy. Someone may say, “But I don’t feel happy.” Then I would say, “Please smile as you do when you are happy or play with your friends happily. You will really be happy again.”

You don’t like crying, right? So you must prefer smiling, because you know smiling will let people forget everything unhappy. Every day, we see teachers or students and say, “Hi/Hello! How are you?” At the same time, you are smiling, right?

Smiling can let you have more friends. With a smile, people will know you’re a kind person. They will talk with you, so you will have more and more friends.

So I say, smiling is like a flower, the sunshine, warmth. It will give you happiness.

I always feel tired after eight classes a day, so my dream school starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m. There are three lessons in the morning and two in the afternoon. We can choose our favorite lessons to learn.

We can spend more time doing some outside reading. The students do after-school activities for one and a half hours every day. We needn’t do a lot of homework. We are all happy to stay at school.

Besides that, my dream school looks like a big garden. There are many kinds of flowers around the modern buildings. Sweet perfumes are diffused all around. If I want to have a rest, I can lie on the grass, listen to music by the lake or look out at the flowers from the classroom windows.

I love my dream school. We will grow up to be happier there.（约140字）

Summer can be very hot in southern Taiwan where the temperature usually goes up to 32"C or more. Because of the heat it is a trying experience to go to school or do anything else in a place that is not air-conditioned. Also because of this I stay at home most of the time during the summer vacation and occasionally go to the beach to plunge myself into the cool water as a way to keep my body less sticky. Actually I like swimming think nothing is more refreshing than a swim. In the summer vacation that has ended I went swimming many times with my classmates we all had a good time. This summer vacation, however, was not spent entirely in seeking fun. As a second-year senior student I had to prepare myself for the college entrance examinations that were a year away. In other words, I must find time to study, too. So I divided my time between work play during the summer vacation derived benefit from this arrangement.

My home town is a beautiful place. It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice.

People often say that the earth is like our mother. She gives life to all the living things on the earth and provides us with air, food, water and other essential things we need for living.

Once she was beautifhl and rich, but now she becomes dirtier and dirtier, poorer and poorer. It is due to what we have done to her. Please have a good look at her: polluted rivers and lakes, growing deserts, the destruction of the forests and wild life, and the depletion of the ozone layer…

Can she bear to see her children putting the waste here and there? Can she bear too see her children cutting down the trees and destroying the grassland, to see the acid rain destroying everything? Can we bear to see our mother suffering so much? Isn it time for us to ask ourselves whether this is the way to treat our mother?

Floods, draughts, acid rain…,these are the punishments from nature. Everyone should know that there is only one earth, lfwe go on treating her like this, it wont be fit for us to live in any longer. Its time for us to love her, take good care of her and cure her. We should save the earth so as to save ourselves.

2.Take English class, art class to the phonetic room, the art room, dont let them empty.The computer should be installed in the classroom at an early date, so that teachers can more vividly and vividly display the relevant information in class.

3.To resume life practice week, let students learn to live by themselves and be friendly to others.We can also take you to military training, so that we can understand the difficulties in it, and we can exercise our body and temper our will.

敬爱的校长：

您好！

我是六年级5班的一名学生。在六年的学习、生活中，学校、老师给了我们无微不至的关怀和教育，使我们从一个不懂事的小孩成长为一名合格的小学毕业生。如今，我们就要离开学校了，离开那里的一切。我真有点舍不得。

现在，我们的学校发展得很快，电脑室、语音室应有尽有，成为了设施完备的学校，老师也是经过精挑细选才进来的，所以，大家在这里学习得也很轻松、愉快。但是，作为学校和老师，工作都不会十全十美的。因此，我在这儿给学校提几项建议：

1．多派一些人手管理楼梯口，特别是在升旗、做操上下楼时，维持秩序，不让楼道拥挤、造成堵塞。如果可以的话，把大家上下楼的时间错开，让楼上的先下，下完以后，楼下的再走。这样，楼道就会宽松许多，不容易发生意外事故。

2．上英语课、美术课到语音室、美术室去上，不要让他们空着不用。早日把电脑安装在教室里，使我们上课的时候老师可以更加生动、形象地把有关资料展示出来。

3．恢复“生活实践周”活动，让同学们学会自理生活，和其他人友好相处。还可以带大家去军训，让我们体会其中的困难，还可以锻炼身体，磨练意志。

4．将图书馆开放，想借书的同学可以办理“借书卡”，在图书馆里可增派几名管理员，检查监督读书情况，还可以在同学们中调查一下大家喜欢哪种书，再去买一些回来，这样既开阔了我们的视野，又培养了我们爱书、护书及遵纪守法的意识，真是一举两得啊！

5．在体育课上多开设一些课程，比如踢足球、打篮球、打乒乓球等，这样可以让我们多掌握一些技巧，再加上长期锻炼，我们的身体会更加好的。

敬爱的校长，为了让我们更好的成长、生活，请您接受我提的建议吧！

最后，祝您：

身体健康！工作顺利！

At night when we were waiting for my grandfather, the bell rang and in came my mother. She smiled to us and said "April fools"!
