如众所周知,书籍教我们学习人生,真理,科学以及其它许多有用的东西。它们增加我们的知识,扩大我们的心胸并加强我们的品格。换句话说,它们是我们的良师益友。这是为什么我们的父母终是鼓励我们要多读书的理由。

+ 加入清单If you ask someone that do they often go to library, I think they will
answer you with no, the reason I am saying this because of the development of
ebook. Many years ago, without computer, the only way to check the information
that you need is from paper books, it means you need to go to the book shop or
the library, while with the development of the Internet, people have access to
the information very easily, you only need to click on the computer, then what
you look for is in front of you. Ebook is a very popular form for reading,
people can find what they want to read in the computer, like the novel story,
then download. It is so convenient and fast, it can save a lot of time, we don’t
need to go to the library if we are busy. Ebook is a good way for reading.

如果你问一些人他们是否经常去图书馆,我觉得他们会回答不,我这样说的理由是因为电子书的发展。很多年前没有电脑,你想要核查你所需要的信息,唯一的方法就是去找纸质书,这意味着你需要去书店或者图书馆,然而随着电脑的发展,人们能很轻易得到信息,你只需要点击电脑,然后你所寻找的就会在你眼前。电子书是一种很受欢迎的阅读方式,人们可以在电脑上找到他们想要阅读的,比如小说,然后下载。这很方便快捷,能够省时,我们不需要去图书馆,如果我们很忙的话。电子书是阅读的好方式。

篇11:高中生军训日记600字
全文共 678 字
+ 加入清单盼星星,盼月亮,我们期盼已久的军训终于到来了,但我们并不知道军训是多么的艰苦!
早上在军训的开学典礼结束后,军训正式开始了。
“立正!”听到了教官的叫喊,我们都不怎么在意,大家依然是有说有笑。“安静!”这回教官可真的发火了!原本吵闹的同学们全都一下子安静了下来。随后教官叫我们如何的站军姿,可我们不过是当做耳旁风——左耳朵进右耳朵出。“好,你们不配和我是吧!站军姿一个小时!”教官的命令有谁敢违抗?在教官的一对一辅导教育下,不一会儿全班同学就以标准的军姿出现在操场上。
刚开始我只是洒洒水没问题,但是十分钟后我的表情不由得晴转多云——脚越来越酸!我在心中不由的感慨万分:我真是愚蠢,是军训就一定会让我们有一个军人的样子怎么会想我刚开始想的那么简单呢?现在看来只有天在帮我们了——天上云朵飞飘没有什么阳光。正当我暗自庆幸没有阳光时,竟连天也不帮我们了!太阳在天空中撒下万屡金丝,直照在我们的脸上!我的心几乎绝望!
太阳当空照,一滴滴的汗珠顺着我那通红的脸庞流下,在阳光下闪烁着灿烂的光芒,我的双脚因长时间的站立酸痛难忍,但我不得不咬紧牙关在阳光下继续“站岗”。这时因体力不支晕倒了。大地被阳光烤的似乎要融化了,我们的汗衫基本被汗水浸湿了,但我的心中充满的并不是抱怨,而是对此的感慨:这点艰苦又算得了什么?军人们的训练不知比我们现在困难多少倍,这点小风小雨都经历不住,我们算什么中华少年?我们如何在未来报效祖国?想到这,我的双脚似乎没有以前那么酸了,阳光似乎也没有先前那么晒了我的腰又直了起来。
“宝剑锋从磨砺出,梅花香自苦寒来”,我坚信,一切付出的努力终有发光的那天!

篇13:高中军训第一天日记500字
全文共 659 字
+ 加入清单今天是军训的第一天,全班同学都很高兴,我也不例外。一大早就兴冲冲地“蹦”进了学校,高高兴兴地向老师喊了一声:“老师好!”到班里,很多同学都带着激动的心情谈着。身旁大大小小的背包不计其数,小袋大袋也很多。我把背包放下,就到走廊去玩了。要军训五天,能不高兴吗?
很快,我们做完操,教官就到了,给我们讲了一些事情,一些注意事项,就出发了。
时间不长,半个多小时就到了麻勘。进入军营,我们就看到了主楼。那里的主楼很长,就是我们睡觉的地方。我们把背包放好后,就快步走到了上操场。一位教官说了几句话后,我们就开始了我们的军训生涯了!
女教官就是女教官,还是唯一的女教官,生来就那么凶,一张嘴就是一堆话。一到下操场,就叫我们站军姿。烈日下,我们冒着紫外线的侵害,顶着滴滴汗珠,扛着重要任务站着。忽然,一声命令是我们感受到了温暖!“坐下!”我顿时感受到,女教官其实也不错!正当我准备擦汗时,又一声响起了:“军姿坐下,不许动!”当时全班同学都做了一个惊讶的表现。天啊!通知上那么多东西是玩的,怎么是受苦的?
因为来的时候已经很晚了,所以我们坐姿训练了一会儿就吃午饭了。吃午饭还得有个讲究,教官吹第一声哨,摆好椅子;教官吹第二声哨,坐下;第三声就是吃饭了。吃饭不能发出声音,发出了就站起来。虽说这样,但是还有发出声音的。
吃饱后还有午睡,午睡过后是下训(下午训练),冲完凉后是晚训(晚上训练)。晚训过后是睡觉。刚睡的时候,我还在想,为什么怎么累呢?不过我很快搜索出了结果,教官曾经说过:“你第一天晕,第二天就不晕了。”不过第二天晕不晕,就不知道了。

篇19:高中学习日记
全文共 528 字
+ 加入清单一天军训下来,我真的觉得很累,很苦。突然想起在家的生活,似乎已太过幸福,太过舒服。看到电视里的军人一切行为,总觉得那些动作好简单,但今天一天体会下来,那些根本就不是常驻机构人所能做到的。他们的动作都好到位,几乎没有一点错误。以前总觉得只要记住每个动作的要领就行了,但到今天我才发现,只有那个是不够的,还需要多次实践、探索,才能有那本事。
教官,今天你让我们罚跑,我开始真的很不愿意,甚至有点生气,我当时想,不就为了一首歌嘛,至于动这么大干戈。直到听完你对我们讲的话后,才真正明白,那已经不仅仅是一首歌的问题,这已经直接影响到我们高一(5)班的精神风貌,我现在真的很后悔当时会有那种想法,我为此道歉。
当你叫我们跑步时,我在心里咒过你,骂过你。但听完你的话后,才发现,原来是我误会了你,你这么严格地要求我们,其目的只是锻炼我们的意志,为我们好,说近点,就是为我们高考打下身体的基础,说远点,就是为我们的将来做好一个很好的带头作用,使我们的行为受你影响,学会如何做人?如何尊重人?如何受人尊重?我想这些应该是我们人一辈子要学习的课程。
吃晚饭时,你让我们留下来,我对你的做法没有半点不满,因为我心里很清楚你的做法,完全是为我们着想,为我们的明天打下基础,我很感谢您!
