初中关于友谊的英语作文（优秀20篇）

我在学校里有一个好伙伴——小悠，她不仅是我们班的好同学，老师眼中的得意门生，还是父母心中的乖女儿，可爱活泼、成绩优异、惹人喜爱，每次都是三好学生。大人和同学见到她都会美美地赞她一番，夸她是老师的左右手，值得学习的好小悠!

她一张圆圆的脸蛋上镶嵌着一双闪耀着智慧光芒的眼睛，小鼻子神气地翘着，一张饱含幽默的嘴总是叽叽喳喳讲个不停。我们俩人走在一起，常常被别人认为是一对姐妹。小悠虽然成绩优异，但从不骄傲，还经常帮助我，就说那件事吧。

有一次课间，同学们都一窝蜂地冲出教室，爱玩的我也拉上小悠正准备往外走，可是小悠停住脚步笑着说：“不行，我现在是你的数学‘小师傅’，我们约定了在课间的时候一起复习和改正。听我的劝告，不要太贪玩。”我有些失落，只好无奈地说：“那好吧!谁叫我是你的‘小徒弟’呢?只能听你的劝告了。”我坐在小悠身边，原来她昨晚早已认真地找了很多资料和练习，给我出了精髓的习题，她一步一步耐心讲解和仔细分析我不明白或做错的题目，直到我清楚了为止，颇有一副老师样。小悠认真批改完后，说：“如果要想成绩好，就得多做习题。”我坚定地点点头，微笑着说：“遵命!我一定按照你的要求完成任务。有你这么一个‘小师傅’和朋友真好!”

小悠不仅乐于助人，而且她学习非常努力。在一个风和日丽的上午，我急匆匆跑到小悠的家门口，按响了门铃“叮咚、叮咚……”。过了许久，小悠带着抱歉的神情打开门，说：“真对不起呀，莎子，我刚刚没有听到门铃声，真是对不起，让你久等了。”我在心里嘀咕：门铃这么大声都听不见……我走进她的房间，看见了一大叠练习题，我对她说：“小悠，不用那么勤奋吧，放假了都做那么多练习，跟我出去玩玩吧!”小悠摇摇头：“不，要想成绩好，就得努力学习。”听了小悠说的话后，我羞愧极了，我真是不够努力呀!

在小悠的帮助下，我的数学成绩提高了不少。和小悠做朋友，让我懂得了许多道理，让我得到了快乐，让我收获了欢笑!她鼓励着我，做一个努力学习和助人为乐的好

我和陈明不同班，但是一个手工小组的。他对学习无所谓，只喜欢手工，但技术不佳，经常向我请教，我们的心中便是搭着一条“小木船”的。

可直到有一次手工课，我们心中的“小木船”破裂了。说时也巧，我这次发挥超常，做出了一条极其精美的小木船，陈明摸着自己那条粗糙的小木船，便向我的小木船学习。他一会儿翻过来，一会儿掉过去，总舍不得放下。可出乎意料的是，他一失手，凝聚着无数精力和心血的小木船摔了个“四个像”。我心中怒火冲天，硬是让他赔。可陈明态度顽劣，还狡辩：“是你的小木船质量不好，我的就不会弄坏！”我见他强词夺理，便使劲说：“好你个陈明，今日不赔，我就跟你绝交！”顺势推了他一下，好像有鬼作怪，那陈明不偏不斜地一脚把我的小木屋踩得稀巴烂。见状，我火冒三丈，便二话不说地夺过他的小木船，用力住地上一砸，再使出九牛二虎之力用脚踩得粉碎，才善罢甘休坐回位置上，头也不回。从此，我们的友谊消失了。

转眼一个月过去了，每次上手工课便不愿看他一眼，他的手工水平也渐渐下降，我呢，上手工课的乐趣也缓缓减少，我们不再同“船”共济，而自己开自己的“小木船”。直到有一天……

上完手工课，我回教室自习，透过玻璃反射，我模糊看到了一个身影——不错，正是陈明。他手里攥着一个东西，不知是什么。我回头望他，发现他的眼神充满了歉意与自责。他两步作一步，含着羞涩，掏出一只布满烈的小木船——正是我的那一只。他见我宽容地笑了笑，便激动地说：“上次是我不对，没了你这个好搭档，我无聊至极。本想重新做一个新的给你，但我水平不行，只好把你那个用胶粘起来，请你原谅我吧！”我赶紧接过来，紧紧地抱住了他。此时，所有的一切都在为我们欢唱。

事已至此，我和陈明因小木船的复原，重新搭起了一座充满友谊之桥！

对于我们农村地区的学生来说，英语写作非常困难。尤其在每一次的英语考试中，英语写作题型总是必不可少的，小编收集了初中期末英语作文的写作技巧，欢迎阅读。

一、学生写作过程中出现的现状

1.词汇量太少

词汇是英语写作必不可少的基本要素，要写好一篇作文以表达自己的思想，必须以足够的词汇量为基础，但实际上大多数学生掌握的词汇量都达不到规定的要求，因而在写作时也就不能随心所欲地表达自己的思想。出现的问题往往有拼写错误，影响理解;词语误用，表达不准确;某一词语反复使用，语言表达缺乏变式，文章显得单调乏味;文章中出现大量“造词”，让人看了啼笑皆非等。

语法规则和句型句式是英语写作涉及的另一基本要素。学生英语写作中出现的“大错”又多半是由语法错误引起的，学生在写作中语法不规范、句子结构混乱、含义不清等情况屡见不鲜，Chinese English现象更是不乏其中，所以词汇量和语法问题是中学生英语写作时首先要解决的问题。

2.词汇错误较多

学生在写作的时候，中式英语Chinglish ：如There are many people would like to go on a vacation. I by bike to school every day. 2、词汇错误：错别字、近义词混淆、词性误用3、词组、句型使用不正确，缺乏重点句型的使用：如I spent one hour to read the book yesterday. 4、时态、语态、人称把握不正确(审题不正确)。思维模式总是先汉语，后转化为英语，可能他想到了句子该怎样写，句型也知道的，但却有个别单词不会。如：“对我来说学英语是困难的”这个句子可能他想到了，句子结构“it is+adj for sb to do sth”也知道，但里面的形容词difficult不会写，导致句子表达含糊，以至于整篇文章错词百出，面目全非。

3.写出的长句达不到表达效果

一般的英语应试作文，总会给出汉语提示，学生写作也是从提示上入手，有的提示意思较长，所以学生写的时候会直接翻译，但对太长的句子又没有驾驭的能力，导致整个句子错误。

4.听力较弱影响写作能力

我们所面临的是一群农村学生，他们没有特别好的条件练习听力，每次的练习时间仅仅是每节英语课上，听听力的时间是在太少。有位作家说过：“不写没有读过的语言，不读没有说

的语言，不说没有听过的语言”。很明显，通过听的渠道获得语言信息及语言感受在英语学习中基础的基础。听不来也就写不上。

5.单词书写不规范，卷面书写较乱

对于大多数学生来说，格式、大小写、标点，书写不规范：句首字母大写不注意，使用从句时不会使用标点、大小写等)。如：After he went back home. He cooked supper.，考试时把单词写整齐的很少，学生普遍认为只要把单词写正确就可以得分，虽然觉得自己写的作文还可以，但卷子发下之后却没有得到期望的分数，而有的同学写作能力较差但书写整齐，写作得分也不是很低。

二、提高写作的方法

1.词汇的积累

初中学生在阅读理方面最大的障碍就是词汇量的缺乏，而扩大词汇量绝非死记硬背就能做到。最有效的方法就是大量接触各种不同体裁的英语文章，利用“在句中记，在文中记”的方法来积累词汇。因此我们指导学生依据英语报刊的特点，按栏目、话题、题材、体裁归类收集常用词，将出现频率较高的常用词汇积累到单词本子上，查字典写例句，初步学会这些单词的运用，放在身边，利用零散时间反复记忆，加强印象。

同时拟定时以单选、完型、阅读等形式考察学生对这些单词的掌握情况，通过测试和竞赛的方式进一步激发大家学习词汇的热情。不过，由于课程的时间安排问题，测试的工作开展较少，这也是实验工作中的一个不足。

2.熟练记住单词

( 1.) 巩固单词拼写，培养组句能力。 词汇匮乏是妨碍英语写作的最大障碍之一，有话想说，无词可写是大部分学生的苦恼。因此，我要求学生坚持每天听写、默写、循环记忆单词，掌握巩固词汇。还要求学生给出与单词有关的同义、近义、反义和词形相似的词，使词汇量得到最大限度的复现。如：反义词appear/disappear, crowded/uncrowded, polite/impolite/rude. 词形相似的词except/expect, chance/change/challenge. 还以某一词为中心，写出该词的不同形式或词性，组成典型的句型，从而不断丰富词汇和句型。如拼写单词die 时，不但要写出其过去式过去分词died，而且要写出其他词性(death, dead, dying), 再分别组句，如：The old man died two years ago. He has been dead for two years. His death made his dog very sad. It is dying.又如写到易混淆的词pay, spend, cost, take 时，可以多种方式表达句意。He paid 20 yuan for the book. He spent 20 yuan on the book. He spent 20 yuan buying the book. The book cost him 20 yuan. It takes him 20 minutes to read the book every day.等等。这样,通过大量的词汇练习不仅仅能有效地积累词汇，还为组句打下了基础，同时还能训练学生的发散性思维和总结、归纳、比较的能力，为学生正确使用词句奠定了良好的基础。以上这些机械操练虽然枯燥，但很有必要，它是能力培养的基础。在词句落实的基础上，可向学生提出稍高的要求，如写出高质量的句子： What a happy family I have ! (I have a happy family.) The story is so interesting that everyone likes it.( The story is very interesting. Everyone likes it. ) He didn’t come to school, because he was ill. (He was ill. He didn’t come to school.) I am good at not only English but also math.(I am good at English and I am good at math ，too. )( 2、) 阅读背诵精彩段落，围绕单元话题设计书面表达。 阅读是写作的 熟练记住每一话题的单词。熟记单词后让他们能够熟练的运用，能够把重点单词用来造句。然后熟记词组，特别是能够熟练的运用词组，能够用词组熟练造句。用词组和单词连成简单句，只要学生将句子表达清楚，语意连贯，就是一篇好的英语文章。

3.熟练使用简单句

简单句对学生来说相对好掌握些，可以要求学生们能够熟练划分主语、谓语、宾语。 正确掌握并列连词andbutor等词。在写作中要求学生不能随意发挥，也不能逐字逐句的翻译所给的文章，要求学生能抓住题中所给的条件，只要考生能将题中所给的要点全部表达清楚，而没有遗漏，在写作中并且注意到语言的连贯，那么就是一篇很好的英语文章。

4.加强听力训练，促进写作

目前英语听力教材使用的具体做法是：事先提出每课生词，教师领读几遍。排除生词障碍后，第一遍学生主让学生在课后反复听课文内容，并逐字逐句写下。每周星期五布置，星期一用课堂时间，教师将该文念一、二遍，让学生听写，教师收上来查阅，加以评讲。通过这种训练，提高学生的听力水平和表达能力。

5.书写规范，促进写作

关于书写的卷面整洁与否，字体如何，是老生常谈话题。可是由于印象分数的一分半分之差，很可能影响一生。在此处丢分纯属不值得，这也是笔者把它放在第一位的原因。在教学过程中，应坚持要求学生书写规范，写好匀笔斜体行书，注意连写，以及文面美观。可以采用出专刊的形式，让全班同学都参加英语书法评比，从而激发学生练习英语书写的兴趣，养成良好的书写习惯。

综上所述，在英语写作中听、说、读、写应同步发展。写作是一种语言输出形式，只有语言输入大于语言输出，语言输出才有可能。英语写作训练作为英语综合能力训练之一，是与英语的听说读是不可分割的，它们是相互影响、相互作用的有机统一体，必须注重听、说、读、写能力的同步发展。

比如笔者实施多年的“五分钟课前训练”：在上正课前五分钟里，要学生用英语讲述一个故事(积累素材);或者课前朗读一篇短小精悍的文章，让大家课后模仿;或者就大家平时关心的话题写一个发言稿或演讲稿进行课前发言;或者让学生自立主题，围绕自己喜欢的主题写一段话。这种课前训练取得了很好的效果。

美国作家舒伯特指出:“Reading is writing”，即：阅读能够促进写作，因为对学生而言,他们对生活的体验、对人生的认识大多是从书本上获得，从大量的阅读中获取的，阅读不仅能帮助学生积累思想,也能帮助他们积累语言素材。“You ought to read very carefully. Not only very carefully，but also aloud，and that again and again till you know the passage by heart and write it as if it were your own.” 这就清楚地说明了熟读成诵对写作是多么重要。所以要想写出好文章,就必须大量读书，它是写作的基础。

阅读对写作固然重要，但其它形式写作训练同样不可忽视，英语写作实践是英语写作理论转化为写作能力的“中介”。英语写作要突出实践，正如学习游泳一样，写作的能力是练出来的。课外练笔是课堂写作训练最有益的补充，因为课堂时间有限，仅靠课堂写作训练培养学生的写作能力是不够的。作文不是“学”出来的，而是“写”出来的。学生必须进行大量的写作练习才能掌握并且灵活运用各种写作技能，而且写作技能只有在不断写作的过程中才能逐步得到提高和完善。

此外,学生的英语语言意识和英语思维能力的培养也需要大量的练习。可见,课外练笔非常必要，应该给予重视。课外练笔的形式多种多样，可采用让学生写英语日记、写英语周记，教师也可有意识地给学生提供一些尽量贴近生活的时尚话题，如奥运会、环境保护等，让学生在课外习作。

[儿童节初中英语作文

I am the only child in my family, so my parents give me all the things I

want. I feel so satisfied with the life I owned. One day, I came to my friends

birthday party. After she made a wish and blew the candle, I couldnt wait

eating the cake. I took a piece of cake quickly and enjoyed the delicious

flavor. Suddenly, I saw my friend was splitting the cake and heading it to

others. Seeing my friends sharing the things together, I realized I should ask

their opinions. Since then, I learned an important lesson. Sharing promotes

communication and creates a harmonious environment.

China has always had a splendid traditional culture, and there are Dragon Boat Festival, qingming festival, National Day... I like the Spring Festival best.

The streets are full of lanterns, people are busy buying couplets, the annual goods, the arrival of the Spring Festival

Every time Chinese New Year, we young children wear new clothes, wear new hats, the adults face a satisfied smile. Its been a great year for people to eat family reunion dinner. In the evening, the grown-ups are playing mahjong, playing poker, and eating melon seeds, chatting and talking. Children like to set off fireworks. The bold children go to the fire, the timid children look behind. Fireworks are colorful... Just play and play! Have fun!

It was a long time before I left my friends to go home. I thought to myself, "I wish I could spend the Spring Festival every day."

The parents love between heaven and earth is the greatest love, born since

we came to this world, parents began to love us forever. The parents love their

children is a natural love, love of nature. Like a heavy rain, however, Pei Mo

to the Royal. This will safeguard the lives of the largest, oldest, most

primitive, the greatest and most wonderful parents to us is the power of

love.

As an ancient saying goes: "lines in the hands of a loving mother, found

wandering clothing. Departure thick seam, Italy has the fear. Who made the

heart-inch grass, was reported three Chunhui." Mothers love, as if in the

spring sunshine, I bring Warm, I bring to light; mothers love, as if in the

wind in a stable and calm umbrella, I Zhefengdangyu; mothers love, I always

difficult to give time to help me and give me power. Silky as a continuous sense

of love, I become a strong backing, I will not always have the feeling of

emptiness.

One of my favorite celebrities are great nightingale.Florence Nightingale was born in Britain in 1820,a wealthy family.Her parents hope she study of literature and art.Regardless of her parents objection,resolutely choose a nurse.By the 1950s,the Crimean war,Britains battlefield warriors mortality at 42%.Florence Nightingale initiative for field nurses.She tried to eliminate all kinds of difficulties,the solution for injuries to food and supplies for them,the nursing.Every night,her hand,the lamp patrol tele-education affectionately known her for ms lantern.After the war,the nightingale was returned to England,people for a national hero.In 1910,nightingale died.For the expression of her admiration,people put her birthday - May 12th as "international nurses day".After the nightingale died,follow her wills,not a state funeral.Later she is "etc the angel" and "lantern."

A Polluted Environment

Environmental pollution is a serious social problem. It poses a terrible threat to men’s health.

The atmosphere is filthy. The air is thick with dust and burnt oil. Dark smokes are being emitted from chimneys, and choking fumes are being

released from numerous vehicles. Stay a little while in a big city, then wipe your forehead with your handkerchief, it is black. Hang out your

washing on the line to dry, you will have to wash again. Garbage is left to accumulate in unsanitary heaps that attract flies and give off bad smell.

Nor is the pollution confined to air and land. Large quantity of sewage and chemical waste are dumped daily into rivers, lakes and the sea,

which kills millions of fish. Noises coming from honking cars, rumbling machines and broadcasting loudspeakers may make a person nervous and

irritable, even drive him crazy.

Environmental pollution is responsible for many diseases that are disabling, or bringing death to human beings.

In short, let’s take good care of our mother globe, not only for the well-being of ourselves, but also for that of our future generations.

The Laba Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the eighth day of the twelfth month of the lunar Chinese calendar. "La" is the name given to the 12th lunar month and 8 is pronounced as "ba" in Chinese, which translated is "Laba." There are several legends about the origin of this festivity and we could not tell which one is true. But what we know today is that this festival started as a sacrificial offering to ancestors. It was also a time for the ancient Chinese to pray to heaven and earth that there would be a bountiful harvest. Many people hoped for good luck as well for the coming year.

农历十二月初八是中国的传统节日——腊八节，腊代表中国农历的十二月，而八是eight的发音，因此，这个节日被翻译成腊八。关于腊八起源的传说有很多，我们已经不能辨其真假。时至今日，我们确定的是这个节日起初是为了祭祀祖先，祈求丰收以及为即将来到的一年祈福。

Traditionally, the Laba rice porridge is the most important element of the festival. Generally, the porridge contains eight ingredients which can include glutinous rice, red beans, millet, Chinese sorghum, peas, dried lotus seeds and some other ingredients, such as dried dates, chestnut meat, walnut meat, almond, peanut, etc. The porridge must be boiled for many hours and then offered as a sacrifice to the ancestors. This must be done before noontime. Also, it is tradition that family members eat the porridge together. Then they leave some as a symbol of hope for a good harvest the coming year.

从传统上讲，腊八粥是腊八节最重要的元素。腊八粥通常由八种材料做成，这些材料可以是黏米，红豆，小米，高粱，豌豆，莲子和一些诸如红枣，栗子，核桃仁，杏仁，花生等谷物。粥要熬制数小时，然后作为祭品祭献给祖先。这个祭祀活动一定要在中午之前完成。之后，家人们坐在一起吃腊八粥也就成了传

Another custom is the soaking of Laba garlic. Garlic is soaked in vinegar for more than twenty days starting from Laba festival. Then when the Chinese New Year comes, the garlic and vinegar is used alongside jiaozi on the table.

腊八节的另一传统式腌制腊八蒜。从腊八节那天起，就将蒜泡在醋中二十多天，这样，到春节的时候，就可以在餐桌上与饺子同食了。
