以sports为主题的英语作文初二(经典20篇)

每当走在路上，总是看见有一些人将吃剩下的食品包装袋随手往地上一扔，或许对于他们来说，这已是司空见惯的事，可这时我便产生一个疑问，为什么他们不愿走到那近在咫尺的垃圾桶旁，将垃圾丢进去，难道只是因为嫌麻烦，或许，正是因为他们这样懒惰的心态破坏了地球花园。每天当我打开电视，总是看到这样的新闻：飓风、暴雨、暴风雪、洪涝、干旱、虫害、酷暑、森林大火、地震等灾情不期而至，全世界因干旱等原因而造成的迁移性难民预计到几亿，在我看来世界环境已日益恶化。现如今，大自然面对人类破坏终于忍无可忍，环境污染的最直接、最容易被人所感受的后果是使人类环境的质量下降，影响人类的生活质量、身体健康和生产活动。

例如城市的空气污染造成空气污浊，人们的发病率上升等等;水污染使水环境质量恶化，饮用水源的质量普遍下降，威胁人的身体健康，引起胎儿早产或畸形等等。严重的污染事件不仅带来健康问题，也造成社会问题。随着污染的加剧和人们环境意识的提高，由于污染引起

的人群纠纷和冲突逐年增加。面对这一切如果我们再作视不管，那会造成不可预估的后果。为了防治环境污染，我国相继颁布了一系列法律，指出“通过高消耗追求经济数量增长和‘先污染后治理’的传统发展模式已不再适应当今和未来发展的要求，而必须努力寻求一条人口、经济、社会、环境和资源相互协调的、既能满足当代人的需要而又不对满足后代人需求的能力构成危害的可持续发展的路”。

以“保护环境，人人有责”的态度积极参加各项环境保护活动，自觉培养保护环境的道德风尚。防治环境污染的措施很多，其中与生物科学密切相关的有利用生物净化来消除环境污染和发展绿色食品等。不仅如此，各国之间还召开许多会议，并采取一系列措施开始对这个问题进行进一步整治。环保的号召一时洒向全球。

The longing summer vacation is approaching, it is the best part of the

school year for me. I cannot let the holidays elapse (逝去) meaninglessly, my

ways to cultivate my abilities, I will find a part time job and conduct some

social investigation.

In short, I want to do interesting things in the summer vacation. Whatever

I do, the goal is the same: to get necessary experience, acquire knowledge and

broaden my horizons. Though the six week vacation will pass away at lightning

speed, its influence is bound to last long.

I have a dream. It is a dream that is deeply rooted in human nature. I dream that one day people of all origins can live in harmony and peace without being discriminated against or persecuted. The bounty of the earth can be shared by every single human being. Mutual respect will guarantee the existence and continuation of the diversity of customs and cultures. Love, sympathy, and cooperation will alleviate the sufferings and disasters inflicted upon our fellow men. Respect for basic human rights will put an end to social injustices and evils. When my dream comes true, all men will be truly equal, happy, and free.

The more you look at the animals the happier you will become. Among all the animals the monkeys are the funniest. That’s my opinion. Do you agree.

【参考译文】

你是否觉得动物园是个有趣的地方?我觉得是，动物园是我一生中所知道的最有趣的地方。

我喜欢动物园。它像一个各种类类动物，鸟类以及昆虫展览的花园。 在学校放假期间，参观一下动物园，确实是一个好主意。你越喜欢看动物，你将越变得快乐。在所有动物中，猴子是最滑稽的。那是我的意见 。你同意么?

We go to school for education. We learn Maths, English,Chinese, Physics and other subjects. School education is necessary and important. However, no one can learn everything from school. Even a very good teacher can not tell his students everything they want to know.

Edison didnt have much schooling, but he became a famous scientist. It doesnt mean that school education is not important.He knew how to learn new things by himself. As a matter of fact, many things can be learned outside school by the students themselves.

So we should learn how to learn at school.

With the development of science and technology, the term "low carbon" is often appear in our life. But, we really do low carbon? On the road, the car is everywhere, exhaust air pollution. Life, watching TV dont turn it off, dont turn off the light when you go out, is a waste of energy. In the campus, after class, students litter, eat the food bag is full. You know, it is full of pollution?

Speaking of which, I thought of his hometown river. Past, shadow of the trees such as on the green grass like the sea. But now, people in order to build a house, cut away the trees on the Banks of the river, pull out of the bank of the soil, hollow out the Cumberland river. So, one to the rainy season, flood river flooded river on both sides of the green crops, the stream sobbing, green in the sigh. People, this is not in oneself life?

Now that you know the importance of environmental protection, low carbon, so, we all will move together! Such as: less car more cycling, the door in the toilet cistern put two bottles, saving a drop of water every day. You dont see these are trivial, but we do it together, that is not trivial! Heard my introduction, do you want to save, low carbon life? The environmental protection together!!!!

随着科技的发展，“低碳”这个名词就在我们生活中常常出现。可是，我们真得做到低碳了吗?在马路上，车子到处都是，排放的尾气污染空气。生活中，看完电视不关机，出去时不关灯，正在浪费能源。在校园里，下课后，同学们乱扔垃圾，吃完的食品袋到处都是。你知道，这全是污染吗?

说到这，我想到了家乡的小河。昔日，河岸边绿树如荫，绿禾如海。可是现在，人们为了盖房子，砍走了河岸上的树木，拉光了河岸的泥土，挖空了河坎。于是，雨季一到，泛滥的河水淹没了小河两岸翠绿的庄稼，小河在呜咽，绿色在叹息。人们，这不是在自戕生命吗?

既然大家知道了环保、低碳的重要性，那么，我们大家就一起动起来吧!比如：随手关灯、少开汽车多骑车、在马桶水箱里放两个瓶子、每天节约一滴水。你别看这些都微不足道，可是大家一起做的话，那可不是微不足道了!听了我的介绍，你是不是已经想节约，过低碳生活了呢?那大家一起环保吧!

走在武进，走在树木花草环绕的巷道上，漫步在绿色的人行道上，今天我要和朋友们一起去种树!

说到种树，你知道植树节的由来吗?其实是为了纪念孙中山先生，他是中国第一个倡导人们种树的领导人。3月12日也是孙中山先生去世的日子，所以每年的3月12日都成为植树的节日。

植树活动即将开始!来到新天地公园，看到的是一条长长的街道，边缘断断续续，一点春色都没有!神色不免让人有些伤感。我们今天要让这片不毛之地繁荣昌盛!

我和我的搭档被分配到玉兰树上。我很好奇的观察到玉兰树的长枝上只有几片绿叶。从远处看，它像几个大洋葱。我忍不住笑了几声。望着玉兰树的底部，看起来像端午节的饺子，真的让我新奇!我又从地上捡起一片叶子，哎!这叶子好像和别的叶子不一样!因为一边是绿色，一边是黄色，我仔细一看，绿色的一边是针状的茎，看起来生命力很强!但是反面不一样。他是浅橙色的，摸起来毛茸茸的。涂在脸上，突然感觉有点冷，鼻子里冒出茶一样的香味。当他闭上眼睛的时候，他立刻觉得自己像花朵一样绽放。大自然真美!我把树叶抛向空中，树叶慢慢落下，就像一只死去的蝴蝶，展翅飞向大树!

徐辉，开始种树吧!听完伙伴的叫骂，我赶紧冲过去，戴上手套，拿起铲子，在那里铲土。铲了一段时间，没有挖出坑来。就在我郁闷的时候，一个长相和善的老师走过来对我说：“这位同学就是你没找到技巧。”我茫然问：‘老师，有什么本事?快教我!”“你应该把铲子放进土里，用脚踩下去，然后把土铲上去。“按照老师的方法，我把铁锹踩进土里，然后用吃奶的力气把土挖出来。经过我的不断努力，终于种出了第一株广玉兰!突然一种成就感涌上心头，啊!大自然是奇妙的!我在树下许了一个愿望，希望花又大又漂亮!

经过早上所有同学的努力，现在断断续续的绿荫成群结队，让人很自豪!也让我意识到种绿色，保护绿色，保护环境，保护自然是我们人类在地球上长久生存的必由之路!

Do your teachers still use traditional techniques to teach you nowadays? A revol- ution in teaching techniques is required now. In the past, we just took it for granted that a teacher s aim was to teach the students all that he knew and solve all the problems for them. Therefore, students could mot judge things on their own under this circumstance. Thus students gradually lost the ability to learn by themselves. In addition, they were only equipped with the knowledge that were taught in class and made the same judgement upon every problem which might crop up. Of course, they would find their knowledge not enough to solve practical problems.

So it is time to change the teaching method. A teacher s goal is to help the students develop not only the ability to learn by themselves but the skills to make judgements on every aspect on their own. It s not necessary for the students to turn to teachers for help while meeting with difficulties. The first thing is to develop the students abilities to make sound judgements upon any problem and overcome difficulties.

All in all, the aim of teaching is to liberate, but mot to fetter the students innate powers of making sound judgements.

你们的老师仍使用传统技术，现在教你?阿revol在教学技巧ution现在需要。在过去，我们只是把它理所当然地认为一老师的目的是要教导学生，他知道，解决他们的所有问题。因此，学生可以摩托罗拉自行判断在此情况下的东西。因此，学生们逐渐失去了学习能力本身。此外，他们只配备了那些在课堂上教授时所作的每一个问题，可能会突然出现相同的判断的知识。当然，他们会发现自己的知识不足以解决实际问题。

因此，现在是改变教学方法。甲老师的目标是帮助学生发展，不仅学习的能力，但自己的技能，就在自己的每一个方面的判断。那不为学生需要寻求帮助教师在会见困难。首先是培养学生的能力作出的任何问题，正确的判断和克服困难。

总之，教学是解放的目标，但摩托罗拉束缚作出正确的判断学生的固有权力。

Animals are our friends.But how to protect them? government is working to protect all animals in danger,and has made lots of plans to save animals. On the other hand, we shouldn’t eat wild animals.We should keep them away from our dinner. That way,there will not be wild animals on sale. I think the hunters and killers will become fewer and fewer.

Last, we should protect the environment.We should stop people from cutting trees down. Without trees, wild animals will lose their home. And we will lose our animal friends. All of us should try our best to protect animals.

We need to protect animals better.We should give them fresh water to drink.We should make the forests bigger for animals in danger to live in.We should advice people not to kill animals beacause they are our friends!

They seem like a perfect solution to China’s traffic-clogged streets and toxic air: Bikesharing schemes.

They’ve exploded in popularity in past 12 months, with brightly colored bikes owned by several different companies flooding China’s major cities. Residents can rent them via apps on their smartphones.

But some local authorities say the bikes have become a nuisance and one Shanghai district has confiscated almost 5,000 bikes and impounded them in a parking lot. Striking aerial photos of the orange, yellow, blue, green bikes were widely shared by Internet users in China last week.

Despite making citizens’ lives easier, the overwhelming number of shared bikes has paralyzed existing bike parking and management, a statement from the Huangpu district government said.

The unregulated parking and riding has caused constant problems and complaints. A guard who works at the Shanghai parking lot told CNN that traffic police had confiscated the bikes because they had been illegally parked. He added that the bikes were from seven different bikesharing companies.

A spokesperson for bikeshare operator Mobike said it had reclaimed its bikes "after consulting with the government." To prevent the problem happening again, he said the Mobike app would have a new feature from next week that recommended designated parking spots.

A spokesperson for ofo, one of the companies whose bikes were confiscated in Shanghai said "some coworkers are following up on the situation" and declined to give further details. The company has one million bikes in operation nationwide. Bluegogo, another bikesharing company, didn’t reply to a CNN request for comment.

Bikesharing is hardly new, but what makes it unique in China is that its usually station free -- which means that users can technically leave the bikes anywhere they want.

It’s also cheap. It costs just 0.5 to 1 yuan ($0.07-$0.15) for a 30-minute ride.

Shanghai is not the only city in China where bikesharing has had teething problems. More than 500 bikes rented out by bikesharing firms were left piled up in the southern city of Shenzhen in January, the South China Morning Post reported.

I asked my English teacher this morning, “How do you learn Chinese when you were a child? Think about it, and you’ll find the answer.”

I cannot recall how I studied my native language, but I still remember the way my little cousin learned to speak. He listened to what people said and tried to imitate what he had heard. At two or three years old, he could express himself in simple language. Now, he is five years old, he can speak more perfectly. He is using language, thinking in it and talking in it all the time.

I understand if I use English all the time, it won’t seem so difficult. I will learn it quickly. It’s the best way to learn a foreign language.

今天早上我问我的英语老师,“你怎么学习中文当你还是一个孩子?想想看,你就会找到答案。”

我不记得我怎么学习我的母语,但我仍然记得我的小表弟的方式学会了说话。他听人说什么,并试图模仿他所听到的。两到三岁,他可以用简单的语言表达自己。现在,他五岁,他会说更完美。他是使用语言,思考它,在它所有的时间。

我明白如果我用英语,它不会那么困难。我很快就会学会的。这是学习外语的最佳途径。

An essential quality for young people is diligence.Nowdays,the issue on the

most important personal quality of young people is highly debatable,and ideas

vary from peerson to person. Some would claim that confidence is the most

essential. But for my part,the most essential quality for young people is

diligence that helps us a lot.

Diligence enables us to academic results. As we all know,academic results

requires lots of researches. An ancient calligraphy,named Wang Xizhi,devoted

lots of his time practicing writing. As is known to us all,he dried his pool

with his writing brush day after day. Though diligence,he became the greatest

calligraphy,finally.

Deligence helps us to achieve better scores in school. Last semester,one of

my fellow students failed to pass the Listening cours. In fact, questions set in

that paper were not very difficultt. If she had spent a little more time

listening rather than watching TV at her dorm,she could have passed the exam. On

the other hand,one of my roomates worked hard every day and got a high

score.

Diligence provides us more chancs to be succeed. As the saying goes “The

early bird catch the worm”. A diligent man may get up early and have more time

to improve himself. And that is the key to be succeed. If

we spend some time observing people around us,we can easily find some

people,just like Li Jiachen,are diligence and successful.

All in all,as a young people,once we have cultivated the essential quality

of diligence,we can achieve academic achievements,get a high score and have more

chances to be succeed. Once we have this essential quality:diligence,it do helps

us a lot in many ways.

那是一次象棋比赛，我和我的一位同学报名参加了比赛。我们都是象棋爱好者，而他的棋艺比我精湛些，所以我是很紧张的。经过了五天的备战，比赛终于开始了。先是三十二人选拔赛，我很幸运的进入了十六强。当然，他也进入了。再经过后来的淘汰赛，令我想不到的是我和他都进入了决赛。当时我的心“咯噔”一下，心想着这场比赛一定没戏了。

回到家吃完饭后，我到楼下放松自己，没想到遇到了我的对手，我心里想：真是哪壶不开提哪壶啊!他对我笑了笑说：“祝你明天比赛顺利!”我以为他在嘲讽我，便头也不回的走了。刚没走几步，他却叫住我对我说：“快决赛了，我教你几招吧!很实用的，希望你明天有好的状态和强硬的实力与我对抗!”我愣住了，心想：哪有给自己的对手教技巧的。他刚说罢，便拿来了一副象棋，教我开局怎么走，如何应对残局……

第二天，我竟然赢得了比赛。当我走向领奖台时，我想到了他，我突然觉得自己很幼稚。他好心教我下棋，我却因为自己单纯的想法误解了他。这时，一缕缕阳光洒了下来，很巧的是，刚好洒到了我的身上，我看了看那无比耀眼的阳光，再看看台下为我鼓掌的他，我鼻子一酸，眼眶竟然有些湿润，心中涌上了一股暖流。是怎样的高尚，才能使一个人在比赛前帮助自己的对手。这一刻，奖杯并不属于我，它是属于一个既拥有过硬的实力，又有一颗乐于助人、善良真诚的心的人。

自此，我和他成为了好朋友，友谊也似大坝，坚固无比。曾经的我觉得心中的阳光是自己创造的，但现在我才知道，每一个人都似一缕缕阳光，温暖我的心灵。那一缕缕的阳光，仿佛汇聚成了耀眼的太阳，照耀着我前行，我相信它会一直伴随我，永不减弱。6初二以阳光

在同一片蓝天下，每个人都有幸福，不过，请你记得。

阳光

其实，人生有时很短暂，但却时时都充满了幸福。一朵鲜花，昂昂的挺立在阳光

雨

很多人不喜欢下雨

冬天

“冷……”这是一种抱怨。对，冬天

这一切，这个世界，难道没有幸福吗?请记得所有的幸福，它会让你更幸福……

When the bell rings around 1:40 p.m. thousands of students spill into streets. Notebooks and textbooks remain stored in lockers for the next day. Because of a desades-long practice of promoting failing students, some teens know they will advance to the next grade even if they don’t do theHomework.

Meanwhile, teachers say they are faced with the daily dilemma of whether to move ahead in a lesson when often only five or ten students out of around 30 have done the homework assignment. Very few kids do homework, and those who do it, cheat. Said a ninth English teacher, It is hard to base a lesson on homework if the work isn’t being done

The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the two most important holidays in the Chinese calendar (the other being the Chinese Lunar New Year), and is a legal holiday in several countries. Farmers celebrate the end of the summer harvesting season on this date.Traditionally, on this day, Chinese family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat moon cakes and pomeloes together. It is also common to have barbecues outside under the moon, and to put pomelo rinds on ones head. Brightly lit lanterns are often carried around by children.

Together with the celebration, there appear some special customs in different parts of the country, such as burning incense, planting Mid-Autumn trees, lighting lanterns on towers, and fire dragon dances. Shops selling mooncakes, before the festival, often display pictures of Change, floating to the moon.

Mooncake is often eaten during the festival.Typical mooncakes are round or rectangular pastries, measuring about 10 cm in diameter and 4-5 cm thick. A thick pasty filling is surrounded by a relatively thin (2-3 mm) crust and may contain yolks from salted duck eggs. Mooncakes are rich, heavy, and dense compared with most Western cakes and pastries. They are usually eaten in small wedges accompanied by Chinese tea.
