初二年级英语作文：生日派对【最新20篇】

In my mind, everyone shall have his own dream. I think that having a dream

means that we have an idea, and then we will do all the things to achieve the

target. As long as we have a goal to be realized, we won’t be blind at

least.

My dream is to become a successful stateman, helping those people who need

help with their rights. Of course, to be a good stateman is very difficult, but

I will do whatever I can do to keep everyone satisfied. Thats my dream. I want

to try my best to help the poor sick people of our country. China is a

developing country which needs good stateman,especially in the countryside and

distant villages.

Now I’m a junior student on Grade One, My dream is also that although at

present I’m good at study, I’ll still try my best to be the study winner. Now

everything I do is close to my dream. I feel life is fill with hope and is

colorful, and I have enough confidence to realize my dream.

一天晚上，我突然来到了一个国家旅游———三目国。

这时候，来了一个只有两只眼睛的人，对我说：“你有所不知，曾经，我们都只有两只眼睛，有一次发现了一个泉眼。我们喝了哪个泉眼的泉水，都变成了三只眼睛的了。不过这里的人都变的比以前善良了很多。”“哦”那你为什么是两只眼睛呢?“”我不肯喝泉眼的是水，所以就只有两只眼睛。“后来，有应该人，拿着一袋金子，问我：“这是你的吗?”“不是。”“不过，你没想过把这个袋子里的钱拿来自己用吗?”“姑娘你这话说的可不对了，做人可不能有贪念之心啊!”“哦”我吐了吐舌头，不好意思地说。我又来到了一家面包店，买面包。我拿起一个粉色的面包，问：“老板这个面包要多少钱?”老板回答：“要一元。”我惊讶的说：“怎么这么便宜?我们那可不只那么便宜呀!”“实际场价来卖的。”“那我就要这个吧!”“好的，需要装起来吗?”“好吧!”

一天，三目国泉眼里的水不见了。这时，所有的三目人都在泉水旁边的土地上拜上天。后来有两个英雄跳进了泉眼。这时两个英雄发现泉眼里有个庞大的怪兽。是它喝了泉眼里所有的水。这时，在地面上已经是一片混乱了。三目国里的人都变成两只眼睛了。这时人们都变疯狂了打打杀杀的，一点也不像从前。这时有些三目国的人要拿我的伙伴去祭天，幸好被我救回来来。三目国人追到了我家。泉眼里也发生了一件奇怪的事情。这时候泉眼里冒出了很多水。两个英雄和怪兽都被冲岀了泉眼。这时有一个英雄被怪兽吃了。这时怪兽里的英雄对地面上英雄说：“打怪兽脖子上的红点，怪兽就会死了。”地面上的英雄马上用拳头打了那个红色的点。怪兽真的死了，另一个英雄也出来了。三目国的人喝了水又变好了。

三目国之旅可真奇妙啊!我要继续我的旅游啦!

In every year the end of June, it is the beginning of my precious summer holiday. Last summer, I had a great holiday. Firstly, I spent only a week to finish all my summer homework. Then I have still almost two months to do anything I wanted. Actually, I really did what I wanted to do in last summer. I traveled to beijing with my best friend for 2 weeks. We were so happy and the trip was just perfect. In the rest of my holiday, I did not do anything even related to study. Everything is all about games. However, I will not have a chance to spend my summer holiday like the last one. There is much more homework that I have to use probably three quarters of my holiday to finish it. If there is not so much homework, I might have my ideal summer holiday in this year. My ideal holiday is that go to the beaches in México with my family. For about a whole month we can completely relax in the beautiful beach. In the morning, after the delicious México style breakfast, we can walk along the beach while enjoy the beautiful morning sunshine. In the afternoon, we can have the freshest seafood for lunch. After lunch, take a nap in the sunshade would be the best thing to do. At dusk, there is the most gorgeous sunset on the sea... I love the beach, I love summer holiday.

在每年6月底,我宝贵的暑假的开始。去年夏天,我有一个愉快的假期。首先,我只花了一个星期完成我所有的暑假作业。然后我还近两个月来做任何我想要的。事实上,我确实在去年夏天我想做什么。我去北京和我最好的朋友2周。我们是这样的快乐,只是完美的旅行。在我的假期,我没有做任何事情甚至相关研究。一切都是关于游戏。然而,我不会有机会花我的暑假喜欢最后一个。有更多的家庭作业,我可能不得不使用四分之三的节日来完成它。如果没有这么多的作业,我可能会在今年我理想的暑假。我理想的假期是去海滩和我的家人在墨西哥。大约一个月我们可以完全放松在美丽的海滩。早上,美味的墨西哥风格的早餐后,我们可以沿着海滩走,同时享受美丽的早晨的阳光。在下午,我们可以拥有最新鲜的海鲜午餐。午饭后,睡午觉的遮阳将是最好的办法。黄昏时分,有最美丽的日落在海面上……我喜欢海滩,我喜欢暑假。

到了周六，我先给我好朋友打了电话，约定好和他去老家的菜地旁玩游戏。

到了菜地里，我看到萝卜都露出了可爱的“帽子”，心血来潮地想搞一场恶作剧：为什么不去偷两个萝卜吃呢?我先环视四周，看看周围有没有人，东瞧瞧，西看看，确定没人路过后，便开始拔萝卜了。我仔细检阅着每一个萝卜，恩，第一个好像很瘦小的样子，还是拔个大点的吧。就当我想跨过它时，不料，却被萝卜绊倒了、气得我火冒三丈，心想：不就是个萝卜吗，我一定要拔掉你!

于是，我便蹲下身子，用手紧紧攥住茎叶向后拔，萝卜下像是有个吸盘似的，紧紧的吸住大地，我使出全身力气拔了好久，可是萝卜依然纹丝不动，吸在土里。我只好用我的杀手锏了，我取来铲子开始挖萝卜。出乎意料，用铲子也不行。我只能先将萝卜周围的土稍微挖去一点，再使劲拔，“哐当。”我一下倒在了地上，我想：终于被我拔出来了!正准备炫耀一下，可是定睛一看，不但萝卜没拔出来，连茎叶都被我拔碎了。

怎么办?我突然想到了一个方法。我找了一个小水桶，到小溪边打满水，便飞快的跑到了萝卜地里，把水都倒进了我要拔的萝卜旁。过了一会儿，我捏住萝卜茎，拔呀拔，摇呀摇，费了九牛二虎之力，终于把那萝卜拔出来了。而我的小伙伴，也在和萝卜战斗呢。我便按我的方法，也给他拔了一根萝卜。我们两个去河边洗了一下萝卜，便津津有味的吃了起来。

虽然这是一件小事，但还是让我记忆犹新，难以忘怀。

Today is my birthday .Mum buy a kake for me ,i say:"Thank you very much, Mum!" Dad buy a tory car .

Suddenly,i see a card on the table,i open it .

Wow it is my brother for me.

On the evening,We together sing "Happy birthday to you".Today,i am very happy.

[英语作文关于生日50字

你知道与我最亲密无间的伙伴是谁吗？那就是我最爱的姐姐送给我的生日礼物—一只小熊。

小熊迪迪是一只非常温顺的熊。它有着一双半圆形的小耳朵；它的眼睛如同两颗黑珍珠炯炯有神；它的鼻子黑黑的；嘴就更小了，嘴里那锋利牙齿，从不咬人；圆滚滚的身子胖嘟嘟的；手脚一律像一根香蕉；尾巴就像一个圆球，可爱极了！

迪迪吃东西时有点让人忍不住得印象深刻。我放了一片肉在它面前，它看着这片猪肉有点胆怯，它不知道我要干什么。过了一会儿，它慢慢的将自己毛绒绒的小手缓缓地向肉片伸去。它先拍了拍，又闻了闻，觉得没什么问题后，扑向肉片，津津有味地吃起来。

它也是一个很调皮的小熊。早晨，我还在沉沉地睡着。爸爸妈妈也没醒来。喜爱早起的小熊迪迪却在自己的专用床上爬了起来。它伸了一个懒腰，从床上爬了下来，向着我的小床走去，但我的床，对于它来说，就等于一座大山。当它爬上我的床时，它就一下子滑进我温暖的被子里，用爪子拍拍我的肚子，用360种方法把我给“整”醒了。我生气地看着它，它却转头跳下床走了。仿佛在说：“小主人终于醒了，睡得像大懒猪似的！”我在背后生闷气。

这只小熊是我的好伙伴，它一直都陪着我，给我的生活带来了很多乐趣。谢谢你，迪迪，有你真好！

Ten years later, I thought that I will become a doctor, because may help

many people, I want to go to Paris to live, heard that is very beautiful, I will

the robot, might help us to do many housework, I in the future life will not

need the money, because the thing could be free, I good anticipated that I the

future life, I will wait not to be anxious!

我的床头放着一个小猪图案的小闹钟，每天它都会提醒我---珍惜时间，每当我凝视着它的时候，思绪不知不觉又回到了20--年，我生日的那一天。

生日那天，我问爸爸：“老爸，你送我的生日礼物是什么呀？”爸爸带着神秘的表情，把一个精致的小盒子递给我。我迫不及待回到卧室，把盒子打开，里面原来是一个小猪图案的闹钟。我百思不得其解，老爸送我闹钟难道就是想每天催促我从美梦中惊醒吗？我一脸迷茫不乐意。我来到爸爸跟前，有点赌气似的问：“您为什么送我闹钟呢？”爸爸和蔼可亲地轻轻抚摸着我的头笑而不语。我无奈又回到卧室里摆弄着这个小玩意。

我目不转睛地盯着小闹钟，“滴答滴答”的音符，撩起我的思绪：秒针每走过一小格，就发出一个声音，每一次的声音都触动着我的心弦，像生命的活力，又像激情的延续，每个人不就像这秒针在孜孜不倦地创造着属于自己的人生？而转瞬即逝的每一小格不就代表了我们所拥有的时间？我忆起小时候爸爸把我抱在怀里呀呀学语，忆起幼儿园里崔老师教我《弟子规》，忆起一年级赵老师教我《学写字》......一幕幕仿佛就在昨天，如今我已是六年级了，离小学毕业只剩下几个月的时光，这一切竟如白驹过隙，时间就是生命，这话真实地验证了时间的重要性，这闹钟就是爸爸提醒我珍惜每一秒。我飞快地跑到爸爸身边，开心地说：“老爸，我明白了，您送我闹钟就是希望我能珍惜时间如珍惜自己的生命，用生命里有限的时间来创造属于自己的人生价值。”爸爸的眼睛笑弯了，对我竖起大拇指：“诗诗真聪明，颜真卿说过，黑发不知勤学早，白首方悔读书迟，我相信你会做的很好！”爸爸的话至今都刻在我的心里。

我小心翼翼地把小闹钟放在卧室最显眼的地方，因为它是爸爸对我的期待，是爸爸“望子成龙”的象征，是激励我不浪费光阴勇于奋进的好伙伴。

看见这小闹钟我就看到了爸爸无私的爱，它将陪我走过充满激情的每一天，我喜欢这份特殊的礼物。

Once I had a very good friend, but since we had different opinions on the

problem, we never talked to each other again and we lost our friendship. So I

was wondering if the long time friendship existed. Later I met a new friend, we

shared the same interest and she showed me the good qualities, such as patience

and kindness. Sometimes when we had argument, she would not angry and left a

while to let me calm down. Now I learn to be considerate. I cherish our

friendship so much and I treat her as my lifetime friend. The good friendship

should be maintained by each other.

我的班主任张老师是我的英语老师。她有一双明亮的眼睛，乌黑的头发，显得特别有精神，说起话来很温柔，我很喜欢她。

进入三年级，我们增加了一门新课程——英语。之前我对英语一点也不感兴趣，觉得特别难。第一节英语课，老师给我们播放了英语录音，还和我们做有趣的游戏。老师饶有风趣的话语，充满激情的讲 解，丰富多样的课堂活动，让我一下子就喜欢上英语。从此以后，每天晚上都认真听英语录音，和妈妈用英语对话。这次期中考试我的英语考了100分，心里甭提多高兴了，这应该感谢英语老师的教导。

老师像一盏明亮的灯塔，指引我们走出黑暗的迷茫。老师像蜡烛，燃烧了自己，照亮了别人。感谢你，老师！

Mr Sun will always live in our hearts!

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。

历五月初五是中华民族的传统节日：端午节。这一天家家粽飘香，人人心欢畅，处处花争艳，可最让人怦然心动的莫过于观赏传统而热烈的赛龙舟了。

晨光中邂逅夏的清凉，汾河公园里更是歌如潮、花如海、游人如织。宽广的湖面上，微波荡漾，远处十几条龙舟正蓄势待发，一场扣人心弦的龙舟大赛即将上演!

“啪”的一声枪响，四周突然静了下来，只隐隐听见远处阵阵锣鼓声。紧跟着，龙舟出现了，如离弦之箭破浪疾行。龙舟过来了，它们就像一条条出海的蛟龙，长长的龙体上涂满了鳞甲形的花纹。那昂起的龙头威武无比，那翘起的龙尾直指蓝天。每条龙舟上都整齐的坐着两排划桨手，他们穿着一色的运动衣，拿着一式的短桨。船头还站着一个人，身子一颠一颠地使劲击鼓、敲锣、吹哨。随着“咚锵、咚锵”的锣鼓声，短桨整齐、急促地一起一落，激起了一团团雪白的浪花，龙舟就在浪花中有节奏地起伏着、飞快地前进着，真像龙腾大海啊，好看极了，壮观极了!

笛声鸣响，激动人心的时刻到了，条条龙舟竞相冲过终点线，伯仲难分。顿时，水面鞭炮轰鸣、礼花绽放;岸边锣鼓喧天、欢声如雷。人们挥舞着、呐喊着、雀跃着，争相按下手里的快门，留下一幅幅龙舟竞渡的壮观美景。

激情澎湃、酣畅淋漓的赛龙舟结束了，那催人奋进的锣鼓声仍在我耳边回荡，那拼搏向上的情景仍在我脑海闪现。它谱写出一曲团结协作、拼搏进取的赞歌。

我喜欢祥瑞和谐的端午节，我喜欢催人奋进的赛龙舟!

How to keep a good relationship with parents

In my opinion, I have too many rules at home. My parents never allow me to go out with my friends at night. They don’t allow me to choose my own clothes, either. And they pay too much attention to my exam results. I think my parents don’t quite understand me.

However, I try my best to understand them. Although they don’t allow me to make my own decisions and give me too much presure, I know that it is because they really love me and want me to have a bright future.

In order to keep a good relationship with my parents, I study hard and listen to them. I talk with them as friends, and always tell them my troubles. I also help them do some housework.

尘风拂土，像是在推动时间长河滚滚前行，吹走了淘汰下来的。也会拂去了数年前的尘土，使古物能重见天日。这尘风是时间、是宇宙，它无始无终，堪称永恒。

我就诞生在这尘风里，在家人的眼中是个“太阳”或“月亮”。我儿时总感到莫名的恐惧——时间是如此可怕的啊，向前寻一万亿年，是无限延伸，向后望一万亿年，还是没有尽头，它既找不到起点，也寻不见终点……所以我从小就很害怕，怕被埋葬在这尘风里，尽管也可能被他送上云端，走上巅峰。

因为我们不同于这尘风，我们都会有始有终。但我也曾听人说，一个人会死三次，当他的脑细胞全部死亡，在科学上他死了；当最后与他有关的活动都停止，在社会上他死了；当最后一个记得他的人忘记他时，他才真的死了。

这句话曾给我很大启发。我想，与之相对，一个人也会出生三次，他呱呱坠地的那一天，是他出生证上的生日；他事业爱情都取得成功的那一天，是他人生之路到达顶峰的生日；只有他经历过生离死别，大彻大悟，拿得起，放得下，知天命的那一天，才是他真正的生日，这是因为他已经穿越了荆棘不再彷徨。这么想着，我就渐渐不再那么怕尘风了。

大部分人是先出生，后死亡，也会有些人永远不曾真正的出生过。后来我见过很多这种人，他们总是让我在心里看不起，纵然每年都替自己庆生，我也以为，他并未懂得生日的意义。这可能有点固执。

人生是场马拉松，你见过哪个运动员会跑个一公里就庆祝的吗？那样他就会忘记了终点，沉溺于欢乐。但人生中，总有这种人，活的也是有滋有味。

有些人会在死后出生，譬如梵高。

我曾有幸观赏过梵高的画，感慨万千。那是一个不朽的人，一个永远不会经历死亡的人。他的生日是他死后，画作大卖的那一天。但我很为他惋惜，因为他永远没有亲自见证他的生日。

梵高的画，在我看来是一幅地图——梵高灵魂出走的地图，画出了他神驰的旅行路线。纷乱，轻狂，洒脱，不羁。在向前永恒的神驰，到不了所谓的终结。他最终被尘风送上云端，抵达人生巅峰，即使是在他死后。

我们不同于尘风，我们有始有终。但后来我才渐渐明白，终点是可以向后无限延伸的，这取决于我们的成就和贡献。首先要明确的，是自己的追求。如果追求短暂的欢愉，就会看到迷乱的缤纷。如果追求永恒的存在，路上会是可怖的荆棘。无论怎么选择，也许都无对错之分，人各有志。真的，不好说。

但对我而言，仅仅就我来说——尘风与土，不过是镜中之物。我只想孤独面对，素颜修行。

Our world is originally mountains, vast sea is blue, the vast sky is blue, the earth on which we live there are so many beautiful scenery, let us can not help but to admire the beauty of this world.

In this world there are ten million species of creatures, they get along, together in this live on the earth like a sapphire, tens of millions of years, too, will not change. But there is a kind of biological change the world, it is in this world with his proud technology to kill themselves, it is human. Human beings in this world only live for one million years, but it such as brute kills life on earth! In 2009, the Indian da-hong ruined homes of five million people in one hundred; In 2010, the Haitian earthquake left two hundred and thirty thousand people dead, according to estimates that by the year 2050, there will be two hundred and fifty million ecological refugees, we use our knowledge to kill themselves, as a human, I think its ironic.

The earth is in the vast universe, the only planet to harbor life, originally the earth is green hills and water, a piece is abundant, but todays earth after hurricanes, forest fires and drought in high temperature, is about to collapse, the earth began to shout for us, in the 2010 years, the earth has used its roar to kill two hundred and thirty-six thousand people, the earths voice we should hear, or the end of the world will come in advance.

Close to one end of the alarm, have "lungs of the earths forest gradually reduce, the earth began to collapse, there is only one earth, and this one belongs to you, rather than a human, the earth is our refuge, we should find a balance point and the earth coexistence, reduce the anger of the earth, let the human is no longer increase driver disaster, let us have a better living environment, but also for generations to leave some more living space.

我们的世界本来是青山绿水，汪洋的大海是湛蓝的，广阔的天空是蔚蓝的，我们居住的地球有太多美景，让我们不禁要赞叹这世界的美丽。

在这个世界上有千千万万种的生物，它们相处融洽，一起在这如蓝宝石般的地球上生存，过了几千万年也是一样，不会改变。但是有一种生物的出现改变了整个世界，它在这个世界用自己引以为傲的科技杀死自己，它就是人类。人类在这个世界上只生存了百万年，但是它却如猛兽般的杀死地球上的生物!在二零零九年时，印度百年大洪水毁了五百万人的家园;二零一零年，海地大地震让二十三万人死亡，根据估计，到了二零五零年，将会有二亿五千万名的生态难民，我们用我们的知识杀死自己，身为一个人类，我觉得很讽刺。

地球是在浩瀚宇宙之中，唯一能孕育生命的星球，本来的地球是青山绿水，一片盎然，但是现今的地球经过飓风、森林大火和高温干旱等严酷的考验，已经快要崩毁，地球开始对我们怒吼，在二零一零年时，地球已经用它的怒吼害死了二十三万六千人，地球的心声我们应该要听见，否则世界末日将提前来临。

末日的警钟一分一秒的接近，有“地球之肺”的森林逐渐的减少，地球开始崩毁，地球只有一个，而且这一个属于大家，而不是人类的，地球是我们的庇护所，我们应该找到一个和地球共存的平衡点，减少地球的怒气，让人类不再是加重灾难来临的推手，让我们有更好的生活环境，同时也替后代子孙多留一些生存空间。

大家好，我叫周原，是个小学生，在上二年级。我的皮肤白白的，圆圆的脸上长着一双明亮的大眼睛。

Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Yuan, is a primary school student in grade two. My skin is white, has a pair of bright eyes round face.

I am a boy loves a lot, such as drawing, practicing martial arts, calligraphy I have love, but I like best is running, every class I and his classmates Lv Suhuan running.

我还是一个贪吃的男孩子，看到了好吃的，我就会快速地跑回家，叫妈妈给我零花钱。

I was a greedy boy, see good, I quickly ran home, mom to give me pocket money.

我还是一个粗心大意的小男孩，有一次考试我把幸福的“幸”写成了辛苦的“辛”，考了个99分，下次我一定不能再这样粗心大意了。
