我，是一个普通的女孩，十二岁，是个别字大王。

一天，老师要求我们写作文，当我写“惭愧”这个词时，把“惭”写成了“渐”，成了“渐愧”。老师没有发现，还给我个“甲★”。当我欣赏自己的“杰作”时，才发现了错误，脸“腾”地红了。

虽说我才上初一，但我个子很高，1米60，连上大学的姐姐都没我高呢，所以经常被别人误解。一次，当我和姐姐去散步，碰巧遇到我的同学，他风趣地说：“邹心怡，你带你妹妹出来散步啊！”结果臊得姐姐的脸红得象苹果一样，我也哈哈大笑起来。

别看我是个女孩子，可我是班里的假小子。论打架，我可是“女中豪杰”，谁把我惹急了，我这“雷光拳”和“飞毛腿”可是毫不留情的哦！

那天，我犯错误被老师批评了，心情很不好。中午在小饭桌吃饭时，同学黄天明还不停地烦我。我火极了，先向他胸口发了个“雷光拳”，又朝他的椅子发了个“飞毛腿”，结果是闹了个人仰“椅”翻。他还想逞强站起来，可最后还是嗷嗷直叫。

不过，如果你要是认为我总这么粗鲁，那你就错啦！爸爸生病时，端茶倒水，揉肩捶背，我也做得很好呢！

怎么样？这就是我，一个时而野蛮，时而乖巧的小女生。

我叫芊芊，“芊”字是形容生命力顽强，草木茂盛的样子，取自《论语》中“郁郁芊芊”这句话，可能是我的爸爸妈妈希望我能象小草那样茁壮成长，不怕任何风雨吧。今年我将迎来我的第九个儿童节。

每天一早，我总是在镜子前，拿着我的小梳子梳个小分头，有时还会湿点水，这时爸爸妈妈总会取笑我是个“小妖精”。哼，“爱美之心人皆有之”嘛！看着镜子中我的脸白净净的，眼睛虽小点，但可有精神了，唯一美中不足的就是鼻子有点塌。人家都说嘴唇薄的人能说会道，一点没错，可过去我却总把它用得不是时候，在课堂自由发挥了，为此老师常对我投来不满的目光，爸爸妈妈为此也经常责备我，但现在的我已经改掉这个坏习惯啦！而且我也充分发挥了能说会道的优点，去年我还参加过学校的“故事大王”比赛荣获三等奖呢！

我很爱笑，在任何时候我都能笑得开心，笑得痛快，笑得无所顾忌，由于我爽朗的大嗓门儿，所以我的笑声没有别的女孩子银铃般清脆，真可谓笑得惊天动地。妈妈经常要我注意个人形象，小声一点，保持可爱小女生模样，可我总是控制不了，哈哈！弥勒佛也爱笑，有道是“大肚能容，容世间难容之事；慈颜常笑，笑尽人间可笑之人”，多好的对子啊！我就是一个笑口常开，满身豪气的女孩子。

说到这，你可别以为我是一个爱傻笑的女孩子，其实，我安静的时候也很可爱的，我从小就喜爱看书，爸爸妈妈也支持我，在我四岁的时候就给我订了《婴儿画报》，据说我当时看得还挺认真的呢！在我放假的时候妈妈还经常带我去新华书店，现在我的书柜里摆满了书，有了这些图书陪伴我，让我得到了知识的滋润，也使我的课外生活更加丰富多彩。

总而言之，我对我自己还是很满意的，一个大大咧咧，朴朴实实，开朗外向的活泼的小女孩儿！

Last qingming Festival,i return home to worship my grandfather.qingming Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,In the past, the qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But Today, Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush that has grown. Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a familys home altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food. One theory is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area, the less appealing food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers.

With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the honor past ancestors. Following folk religion, the Chinese believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and spirit money could keep them happy, and the family would prosper through good harvests and more children.

Do you want to live in the city or the country?

I like to live in the country that the sun rises in the morning with the first golden light & the first sound from the cock.. All the animals & plants begin their life from this moment on and some of the animals begin their sleeping the new day. This is a very beautiful beginning in the world that you just can see all these in the country not in the city.

And for people , the people in the country are kind although they are ungrace-ful .that is not important that you will feel what is the realest in the friendship of people.

Are people kinder in the city or the country?

The people live in the country is kinder than the people live in the city . this is so sure that I just feel all this from my grandparents . My grandpatents both are country people. Their family is poor that they even do not have more money after they finish all their meals.but my mother was so so interested in studying. My grandparents got five children & gave the choice to study to allof them .

[我的家庭英语作文中英文翻译

My name is Li Haiqing. I am a local person who is 21years old. Iam from chongqing and I am of the opinion that my hometown is a beautiful city.

Moreover, I would like to say something about my family. I have my mother ,my father,and my elder sisther,they love me very much,I know my parents have so much hops and dreams for me。So I must study well.

I have the confidence because I have such ability! I am kind-hearted, patient, outgoing and creative. I am a hard working student especially do the thing I am interested in. I will try my best to resolve any problem no matter how difficult it is. I always believe that one will easily lag behind unless he keeps on learning.

In spare time, I like reading books, surfing on the Internet, listening to music like, classic, or light music, because they can make me feel relaxed. Nobody could keep on working efficiently, therefore proper amusement is a must. In addition, I insist on do some physical training such as running, and horizontal bar as well. By doing this, I can always stay healthy.

That’s all. Thank you for giving me such a valuable opportunity!

我叫李海清。我是本地人，21岁。我来自重庆，我认为我的家乡是一个美丽的城市。

此外，我想谈谈我的家庭。我有我的母亲，我的父亲，还有我的姐姐，他们非常爱我，我知道我的父母有很多的希望和梦想，所以我必须好好学习。

我有信心，因为我有这样的能力!我善良，有耐心，外向，有创造力。我是一个勤奋的学生，特别是做我感兴趣的事情。不管有多困难，我都要尽力解决任何问题。我一直相信一个人如果不继续学习就很容易落后。

课余时间，我喜欢看书，上网，听音乐，古典音乐，轻音乐，因为它们能让我放松。没有人能继续有效地工作，因此适当的娱乐是必须的。此外，我还坚持做一些体育锻炼，比如跑步，以及水平的酒吧。这样做，我就能一直保持健康。

这年代。谢谢你给了我这么宝贵的机会!

我的家庭只有四个人。

瞧，那满脸皱纹而又和蔼可亲的老人就是我的爷爷。爷爷今年已年过半百了，别看爷爷现在年龄已近七十，其实他一直很辛苦。我喜欢早起，每天早上5点起床，因此爷爷经常要比我起得更早，为我烧饭。我常劝他我自己会干，不要太宠我，可他总是乐呵呵地不听劝。从我懂事到现在，就一直看他忙忙碌碌的，很少休息。爸爸说爷爷从来没想过自己，一生都是在为他的亲人付出。

看，那就是我的爸爸。他对工作尽职，如果没有特殊情况，是绝对不会请假休息的，爸爸不喜欢抽烟，但他却喜欢喝酒。空了总爱喝个半醉，惹来妈妈不少白眼。

妈妈是这个家中唯一对我学习看得很重的一个人。我每次的回家作业她都检查，就连《口算训练》也不放过。我有时都觉得她无聊，但我还是尽量去配合她，体谅她。

我是一个小学生。我个子不高，就因为这个原因，我常觉得是妈妈不对。因为妈妈个子矮，遗传到了我身上。因为我的个子矮，别人常说我还小，不懂事。我就装作真不懂事的样子，朝他们笑。其实我什么都明白。爸爸妈妈经常会吵架。刚开始我还会劝他们。后来发现一点用都没有，于是只能往舅舅家逃。一次，妈妈在一次吵架后回到了外婆家。也许是看着我似乎没心没肺的样子，妈妈与舅妈都说我不懂事。我其实很想告诉他们我的心里是怎么想的，有多么难过。可是没有说一句话。只有我知道，看着父母打架，心里的伤心谁都不会理解。

我总认为，爷爷会永远健康，爸爸妈妈是最后一次吵架……

初冬的一天，我如愿以偿地来到了苏州，参观了木渎古镇和定园。我们先来到了木渎古镇。苏州的古建筑保护得很好，导游介绍可以用十六个字来概括：房屋矮矮、道路窄窄、粉墙黛瓦、小桥流水。木渎古镇就是这样的。

古镇有一条小河，河边是铺着石板的小路。我走在了小路上，路旁边有许多的店铺。我看见了一个仿古的酒店，上面高挂着一面旗，旗上写着一个酒字，真是水村山郭酒旗风。木渎古镇可热闹了!镇上有各种招牌的店铺、作坊、酒楼、茶馆走着走着，我们来到了严家花园。严家花园有五幢楼，分别是门厅、怡宾楼、尚贤堂、明是楼和眺农楼。尚贤堂是五幢楼中最漂亮的。这个堂虽然有400多年的历史，但是木头还是跟原来一样，一点都没破。严家花园的内花园有春夏秋冬四个各具特色的小景区。花木丛中，整座花园幽静、淡然。走出内花园，我们来到了外花园。外花园里有一条清澈见底的小溪，溪旁种着垂柳。偶尔看见一两只麻雀飞到那青翠的柳树上，让这个外花园更有生机了。

我们又来到了定园，定园原来是明代刘伯温的私宅。我走进去，发现定园比别的园林更大、也更美。里面有茶花、菊花争奇斗艳，柳树、石榴傲霜枝，亭台楼阁、小桥流水我看见观花亭，它像一把巨大的双层大雨伞。亭前有一副对联：雨中有帛写永好，雨后逢花多清欢。走过了观花亭，我们又坐摇橹船了。摇橹船有点像乌篷船，坐上去晃晃荡荡的，真是惊险极了!上了岸，休息了一会儿，我们继续走，遇到了一个长廊，叫做节令廊。廊上挂着图画，有节气的，也有传统节日的。

苏州是茶的故乡，自然少不了去品茶。我沿着一个池塘上面的九曲桥，走进了定园的茶馆。我在茶馆里选了一张八仙桌坐了下来，要了一杯茉莉花茶。我悠闲地坐在八仙椅上，一边品茶，一边听苏州的古典乐曲评弹。那种感觉多惬意呀!

都说苏州园林甲天下，我游玩了苏州园林觉得果然名不虚传，美不胜收!

Tonight is Christmas Eve.

Come home from school, together with my mother went to the village of fruit shop, see the store has a lot of apple with the packaging. I look at the said to mother: "mom, I really want to have a!" Mother said: "apple a lot in the home, buy this kind of packing good uneconomic, and these are packaged away." Listen to the mother, I reluctantly left the fruit store. At home, I ate an apple, want to eat the fruit every day can be peace.

Here, I wish you all a happy Christmas Eve, merry Christmas.

今天晚上是平安夜。

放学回家，跟妈妈一起走到小区的水果店，看到店里有好多包装好了的苹果。我看了一下对妈妈说：“妈妈，我好想要一个呀！”妈妈说：“家里苹果很多，买这种包装好的很不划算，而且这些包装好的都是送人的。”听了妈妈的话，我依依不舍的离开水果店。回到家，我吃了一个苹果，希望吃了这个平安果可以天天平安。

在这里，我祝大家平安夜快乐，圣诞快乐。

以下是为大家整理的关于初一周记大全：家庭小风波的文章，希望大家能够喜欢！

几天前的一个早上，我外婆的一百元大钞好端端地放在柜子里却不见了。于是她把怀疑的目光投向了我们几个孩子。

中午吃饭的时候，我们个个都吃不下。外婆突然找到了理由，便“理直气壮”地向我们“开炮”了。你瞧，我外婆说：“我知道是谁偷了我的钱了，是你们！你们一个个饭也吃不下，一定是拿了钱去校门口的小店里买零食吃了。你们肚子早已吃饱了吧？”说完便得意洋洋起来。能说会道的我听了，便连忙辩解道：“不是我们偷的。一百元钱足够搬走小店的二分之一零食了。我们可吃不了这么多呀！再说路上我们也没那么多时间吃呀。”外婆听了忙问：“你们有证人吗？”我说：“有！余家和、余家豪、赵佩针。”外婆想了想又说：“你肯定买零食收买了他们。”我听了一下子愣住了，心想：“糟糕！外婆只怀疑我一人了。我该用什么办法来证明不是我偷的呢？”半晌，我左思右想，可是怎么也想不出一条妙计来。我委屈得大声喊道：“冤枉啊！”想不到这招竟然最奏效，大家听了哄堂大笑，连外婆也笑了。在笑声中，外婆似乎把钱被偷的事全忘到九霄云外了，从此再也没提起了。

虽然这次风波平了，但我还是满肚子的冤屈啊。

Sakura is the Japanese name for ornamental cherry trees, Prunus serrulata, and their blossoms. Cherry fruit (known as sakuranbo) come from a different species of tree.

Sakura, a well-known and ubiquitous symbol of Japan, are represented on all manner of consumer goods, including kimono, stationery, and dishware. Cherry blossoms are an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, and as such are frequently depicted in art. There is at least one popular folk song, originally meant for the shakuhachi (bamboo flute), titled "Sakura", as well as a number of pop songs. "Sakura" is also a common Japanese female name.

Sakura is indigenous to the Himalayas and east Asia. Some trees can be found in China and Korea but the largest number and variety of sakura, more than 305 species, can be seen in Japan. Many of them were artificially hybridized or grafted by the Japanese many centuries ago.

"On the other hand, in China, cherry blossom is the symbol of feminine dominance, female beauty and sexuality. Additionally, the cherry blossom is the Chinese symbol of feminine principle and it also symbolizes love in the language of herbs. Interestingly, cherry blossom is the flower of the April in China, whereas in Japan, it is wisteria." Spring flowers of Japan

Japans most beloved variety is the Somei Yoshino. Its flowers are nearly pure white, tinged with the palest pink, especially near the stem. The flowers bloom, and usually fall within a week, before the leaves come out. Therefore, the trees look nearly white from top to bottom. The variety takes its name from the village of Somei (now part of Toshima in Tokyo). It was developed in the mid- to late-19th century at the end of the Edo period and the beginning of the Meiji period. The Somei Yoshino is so widely associated with cherry blossoms that jidaigeki and other works of fiction often depict the variety in the Edo period or earlier; such depictions are anachronisms.

Other categories include yamazakura, yaezakura, and shidarezakura. The yaezakura have large flowers, thick with rich pink petals. The shidarezakura, or weeping cherry, has branches that fall like those of a weeping willow, bearing cascades of pink flowers.

Annually, the Japanese Meteorological Agency and general public track the sakura zensen, or Cherry-Blossom Front. Nightly forecasts follow the weather segment of news programs. The blossoming begins in Okinawa in January, and typically reaches Kyoto and Tokyo at the end of March or the beginning of April. Then it proceeds north, arriving in Hokkaidō a few weeks later. Japanese pay close attention to these forecasts. They will go to parks, shrines and temples with family and friends and hold a "flower viewing party" known as hanami. Hanami festivals celebrate the beauty of sakura, and for many, it is a chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful view. Hanami custom in Japan dates back to many centuries ago. It is witten in Nihon Shoki that the Hanami festival were already held in the 3rd century.

Most Japanese schools and public buildings have sakura trees outside of them. Since the fiscal and school year both begin in April, in many parts of Honshū, the first day of work or school will coincide with the cherry blossom season.
