我的家乡—杨村，是一个很美很美的地方，尤其是春秋两季，更加是美丽动人!

春天来到了，小树长满了嫩芽，草地上长满小花小草，花儿到处都是，有红的、黄的、紫的、白的……，被微风轻轻地吹过，好像春姑娘在和我们打招呼，小草探出小脑袋，蝴蝶在空中飞来飞去，好像春故娘在跳舞。小鸟在唱着欢快的歌儿迎接着孩子们。小河的水清澈见底，都可以看见河里的鱼了……

秋天到了，果树上满了水果，远处，苹果树下的小妹妹在吃着一个个大苹果，脸上带着喜悦的笑容，脸还红彤彤的，好像一个大苹果。在其它树下，有孩子们在欢快的玩耍着，有的在玩跳绳，有的在玩抓人，有的在玩躲猫猫，还有的在玩摸人。风吹呀吹，好像秋姑娘在给可爱的孩子们擦汗……

啊!我的家乡真美啊!我爱我的家乡，更爱家乡的春秋!

In Chinese culture, it is every childs duty to return their parents as

they grow up. The children know their duty and they work hard to give parents a

better life. As a child, I was grateful to my parents as they gave me all their

love, so I made up my mind that I must earn a lot of money and then I could pay

back my parents money. But as I grew up, I realized that money was not that

only way I could return my parents. Whats more, my parents dont care about my

money, and they just want to spend more time with me. When I grow up, I will

move out and probably live far away from them. At that time, if I come home

often, they will be happy. I think every parent just want care from their

children.

刚送走了秋姑娘，冬小姐紧接着就来了。 As soon as the girl Qiu was sent away, Miss Dong came immediately.

我没有看到完完全全的春姑娘、夏小姐和秋姑娘，却有机会一睹冬小姐全部的风采，真是幸运呐!

我用笔描绘着冬小姐，希望将她的美丽永远记住。

啊!冬小姐来到我的身边了!

听!

是冬小姐的呼吸声。北风卷着残叶，呼呼的刮着，一株小树苗因此被刮到了。北风并没有停下来，他依旧前进着，当风从我身边刮过时，我浑身冷得向被冰块封住了一样。当然这是冬小姐野蛮的一面，但，冬小姐也很温柔。

看!

是冬小姐在纺纱。一个晶莹透亮的小精灵，不知什么时候出现的，她们在空中跳起了欢快的舞蹈。啊，那是雪精灵。我伸出双手去接，可当我碰触到雪精灵，雪精灵竟然溶化了。哦，这纯白的雪精灵是不容他人污染的。越来越多的雪精灵从空中飘舞下来，她们汇聚到地面上，织成了一件独一无二的雪纱裙。冬小姐穿着这件雪纱裙到处溜达，她所到之处，都散落着一个个的雪精灵。站在雪精灵的面前，心仿佛也被她们感染了，变得纯洁起来了。冬小姐的艺术品真是巧夺天工啊!不知她用什么方法，做出了这一个个有着六个角的雪精灵。

与春姑娘，夏小姐和秋姑娘不同的是，冬小姐没有那淡淡的花香，但是，没有花香的冬小姐同样迷人，同样可爱。也更加散发着迷人的魅力。我被冬小姐深深的吸引了，情不自禁的爱上了她。

冬天，一个多让人幻想的词啊!冬小姐带来了下一年的丰收，正所谓“瑞雪兆丰年”。冬小姐作出的贡献可真是大呢!这让我更加欣赏冬小姐了。

你们也一起来与冬小姐交朋友吧!

Though we are told that alcohol is dangerous, especially driving a car

after drinking alcohol, we can see the news about car accidents because of the

driver drinking alcohol everyday, still people ignore the danger of drinking

alcohol. Life is precious, no one will take responsibility of our lives except

ourselves. Drinking too much will do harm to our body, even if you don’t cherish

your life, while when you drive the car after drinking, you will take away other

people’s lives. That is unforgivable, people have a happy family, they die

because of your careless driving, and you will never have a chance to make up.

Our government is very strict to the driver, the law clearly claims that

drinking driver will be heavily punished. In order to make sure other people’s

safety, we should not drive the car after drinking alcohol, or we ask friends to

take us home.

In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is

too heavy. While it is true that students need to study, they need other things

as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults. High should be

allowed more time for play. Plying is not wasting time, as some think. It gives

them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination. Which tends to be

stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure put on high school students by

excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and

mentally. I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. I do think, however,

that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and

to the society as a whole.

同一棵树，有的人看到的是满树的蓊蓊郁郁，有人看到的却是树梢上的毛毛虫。仰望同一片天空，有人看到了乌云朵朵，而有人却看见那藏在乌云后的太阳。学会欣赏，你的周围才更加美丽;学会欣赏，你的生活才会更加丰富多彩。 The same tree, some people see the gloom of the trees, some people see the caterpillar on the treetops.Looking up at the same sky, some people saw the dark clouds, but some people saw the sun hidden behind Wuyun.Learn to appreciate that your surroundings are more beautiful; learn to appreciate, your life will be more colorful.

因为拥有欣赏的眼光，才有东坡那“莫听穿林打叶声，何妨吟啸且徐行，竹杖芒鞋轻胜马”的从容;才有王维那“大漠孤烟直，长河落日圆”的雄浑;才有陶渊明那“采菊东篱下，悠然见南山”的恬静。学会欣赏，便发现身边充满了美景。

学会欣赏，不仅仅是学会欣赏美景，还要学会用欣赏的眼光看待周围的人和事。

美国南北战争初期，林肯总统在危难之时，毅然任命了酒鬼格兰特为北军将领。当时舆论大哗，人们说“昏君”用“庸才”，北军完了。好多人晋见林肯，说格兰特好酒贪杯，难当大任。林肯不为所动，坚持任用格兰特，而结果证明，正是由于对格兰特的任命，才成了美国南北战争中北军取胜的转折点。林肯懂得欣赏格兰特的优点，才有了北军胜利。是呀，我们应该看到别人的闪光点，而不是因为别人有缺点就否认，世界上哪有十全十美的人呢?只有学会欣赏别人，才能真正看到他人的价值。

我们不仅要学会欣赏，还要学会接受别人的欣赏。任何事物都是两面的，我们切忌“捧杀”!伤仲永的故事不就是不会接受欣赏的恶果吗?现在也有许多神童被埋没的教训。面对他人的欣赏，我们应该要反问自己：我为何被欣赏?这样你便可以发现自己的长处。我配不配这样的欣赏?这样你又可以认识到自己的短处。向周围看去，到处都是可欣赏之人，你就能持久进步。

学会欣赏，换个角度思考问题，学会去欣赏事物好的一面。欣赏你的对手，他便是你努力的动力;欣赏你遇到的困难，它就不会再是你的绊脚石，而是通往成功之路上的一块基石。学会欣赏，你会发现，世界在对你微笑。

学会欣赏吧，你才会不断进步;学会欣赏吧，你便可以乘风破浪，勇往直前!

从以下两个题目中任选一个完成作文

(1)“欣赏自己”就是善于发现自己的闪光点，为自己感动，为自己喝彩，使自己的生活充满自信，充满快乐，充满希望。有人说，一个不懂得欣赏自己的人是很难快乐的，只会使自己陷入自卑的泥潭，只有充满希望的心才能扬帆远航。

请你结合自己的生活经历、感受，以“欣赏自己”为话题，题目自拟，写一篇有真情实感的文章，字数不少于600字，文中不得出现真实的校名、人名、地名。

(2)生活中常有不少感到。感动，缘于危难中的大爱，困难中的相助;感动，英语梦想的点燃，理想的实现;感动，缘于矛盾的的化解，友情的建立;感动，缘于人群中的笑靥，亲人间的牵挂……一次叮咛，一语问候，使感到浸满心田。

请以“感动”为话题，题目自拟，写一篇有真情实感的文章，字数不少于600字，文中不得出现真实的校名、人名、地名。

However, my ideal job is teaching. Firstly, I’m told that teachers have a high income. With the high income, I can open a training school to help the children in poor families with their education. Secondly, teachers always have summer and winter holidays, thus I will have more free time to relax myself.

In the courtyard of my hometown, there is an old phoenix tree that has been

with the town for decades.

Indus trees are not as slim as maple trees, nor are they evergreen like

pine trees. It is just a tall and thick tree with a plain appearance, but it

gives a sufficient sense of security. Relying on it, you dont have to worry

that it will crumble like a skinny maple, and you dont have to worry that it

will "pin to pin" to you like a pine tree. Its sturdy body is always waiting for

your support; its smooth skin wont hurt you in the slightest.

Sycamore tree, just like mother.

In the hot summer, my pleasure is to enjoy the shade under the tall plane

tree. Its lush leaves will divide the dazzling sunlight into small pieces and

sprinkle it down, which is also warm on the body. Leaning on the trunk and

looking up, the plane tree is really featureless, and its ordinary appearance is

incomparable with those beautiful scenery elsewhere. However, in my eyes, only

it is the most beautiful. Its beauty is not in appearance, but beauty from the

inside out. Only when you experience it and experience it with your heart will

you discover it.

When I was a child, because the adults in the family were busy with work,

no one could play with my brother and me. So I got into the habit of liking

being alone. When the adults were busy going out, I led my brother to sit under

the plane tree and waited for the adults to return. Laifu would sometimes lie

quietly beside us, waiting for us. Every summer, such a view is the most

beautiful.

Time passed quickly and we all grew up. The sycamore tree is also getting

older. When I went to see it again, nine years had passed in a trance with the

wind. Its branches were cut off a lot because it blocked the newly built small

building, and it seemed to have grown taller. The leaves were not as green as

before, and some of them were yellowed, which seemed to have a different kind of

beauty. Just like my mother, it is getting old day by day.

I stood on the roof, the furthest away from it, and stroked its smooth

body. I dont know, maybe it does. This time Im not coming back just to see it,

this may be the last time we see each other. what is the reason? It was probably

because the house was going to be renovated, and the tree blocked it. In fact, I

still have a lot of words in my heart that I want to tell it, and I watched it

quietly, and thousands of words came to my mind, but in the end, it came to my

lips and became silent. I looked at it, just like that quietly, at this moment,

it was the scene in my eyes. Is it beautiful? No. But it will always be etched

in my heart.

Perhaps, it is not a tree. Instead, its a playmate of mine. Bring me joy,

support, help, warmth.

The autumn wind blows, and a yellowed leaf dances in the wind. It still

seems to be nostalgic, until the last moment, it will always stand here,

guarding us. Protect us with everything that is kinder than a pine tree and

taller than a maple tree.

Goodbye, sycamore tree.

my school is near a small lake. it is very beautiful. i like my school very much.

we have a high teaching building and it is big and clean. our classroom is on the fifth floor. the computer rooms are on the third floor. we have computer classes there. we have a big library on the second floor. there are many books in it. i like reading books there. we also have music room and art rooms in the building.

[欣赏我的学校小学生英语作文

After reading this book I think it is necessary to share the old legend to everybody .

There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it lea一ves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the sa一vage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to out- carol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His hea一ven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain …

Meggie Cleary is just like the bird,and Ralph is her superlative song.

I read the book then watched the movie, both of them ga一ve me great shock, I really admire Meggie,she had the courage to use her whole life to love Ralph, never ga一ve up. She believed that she would love Ralph only in her life. But I don’t like Meggie’s attitude to love, Ralph is a Father, and he mustn’t love Meggie, they really loved each other, but they are not destined to be together. So in my opinion I think Meggie should give in, she shouldn’t fight with God, Ralph had told her he would serve God forever, so Meggie wouldn’t win. Maybe giving up is a good choice. Their love is painful.

Tell the turth I don’t like Meggie neither Ralph, Ralph could not give Meggie happniess while Meggie couldn’t support Ralph to concentrate on his work. So they would not ha一ve happy life, they only made each other feel sad .

Frank is my fa一vorite role. he was short but strong ,and he was one of the main labor in his family. He didn’t want to be a shepherd, but the family needed him , and he must feed he the sheep so that everybody in his family can live better. Once he escaped from home , but it wassn’t long before his father found him and take him home. I feel so sorry that he had a miserable fate. He longed for freedom but most of his life didn’t belong to himself, it’s really a pity .

Frank was different to every man in their home, he loved his mother deeply, and he always helped his mother do the housework. he dreamed to be an outstanding boxer. Frank was considerable, and he always try his best to make Meggie feel happy. As Meggie’s oldest brother, he could be worried about Meggie’s fa一vorite doll, and he even tried to fixed the doll which was distroyed by Meggie’s other brothers. Frank and Meggie would always tell each other what they thought in their deep heart , and they are close friends.

I was so sad when I learned that Frank killed a man and he was sent to the prision. It is really a big shock to Meggie, for Frank was the only one who can listen to Meggie’s secrets. She thought she lost Frank forever. I cannot imagine how painful for Frank to spend dozens years in the prision. He once had good dream about his life, but he had to waste most of his life in prision. In my opinion it was Frank’s father that distoryed his life. His father didn’ t give him freedom, and Frank can’t had strong resistance spirits, and because he didn’t control himself and broke the law.The energitic Frank will never come to us, and he became a man who didn’t wanna talk. He began to be afraid of the world…it is really a pity.

As for Meggie, I think she was a good girl. She was beautiful and smart, but she it was wrong for her to love Ralph. Meggie was an excellent girl, she was able to find an outstanding boy to love her, but she put all her love on Ralph even she married Luke. She married Luke just because Luke looked like Ralph. Meggie wanna be a thorn bird, but I think it was too cruel to her. She was so kind that she shouldn’t stand that king of pain, and I think she was born to ha一ve a happy life. I pity for her.

Both the story of thorn birds and the legend are painful and beautiful, but not every one can be the thorn birds, because it is not our porpose to ha一ve a painful life. We are born to be happy. Olny happiness is the ture meaning of life while the story was written for us to enrich our life. It is a wonderful story.

Why do we study English, because English is the international language with the same.

When we talk about the business with foreigners, I only use English to communicate, so English is very important. If we want to understand the western culture when, must use English to understand their culture and history.

What how can we learn English well: 1, first to develop interest in English study (we can see English film from listening to English song, to find the learning interest in English). 2, English class listen carefully, as far as possible to answer the teacher#39;s questions in English, use English to communicate with classmates. 3, you can listen to English tapes of radio and television programs to imitate the pronunciation of english.

This is a good method for us to learn English well.

In addition to these methods, we can from the English books and other more effective way of learning english.

People always say that love from father is as strong as the mountain, which

gives us the great strength to move on. In Chinese traditional role, father is

described to be a quiet man but the way he loves you can be seen all the time,

while love from western father are much obvious. There always hug and kiss

between children and parents. My father is a classic quiet father. He doesnt

talk much, but he will never miss any moment that is important for me. When I

have performance in school, he must be one of the audience, no matter how busy

he is. Before I sleep, he will help me check on my homework. I love my

father.
