Being a monitor is my dream, because I think it is so cool and I will have the power.

So when I go into the middle school, I make my effort to be a monitor, luckily, all of my classmates trust me and elect me as their monitor. I am so happy, my little dream has come true, but I never expect that the monitor’s duty is so heavy.

I can’t do what I want, every decision I make needs to consider so many things, if I go the wrong way, my classmates will have loss. As the saying that the more power, the more responsibility, I have pressure, but I learn many things, I become mature and can deal things well.

成为班长是我的梦想,因为我觉得班长很酷,我也会有权利。因此当我上初中了,我努力成为一名班长,幸运的,所有的同学都信任我,选我为他们的班长。我很开心,我实现了小小的梦想,但是我没有预料到班长的责任是如此的重。我不能随心所欲,我做的每一个决定都要考虑到很多事情,如果我走错了路,我的同学也会遭受到损失。正如有句话说,能力越大,责任越大,我有压力,但是也学到了很多事情,我变得成熟,可以把事情处理好。

篇1:初中作文中叙述和描写方法介绍500字

全文共 1070 字

+ 加入清单

(一)教学要求

通过写自己的一次亲身经历(即自己的实践活动而不是旁观性的见闻)学习各种叙述描写方法

(二)初中作文中叙述和描写方法练习指导

1.叙述

是记叙文的一种主要表达方式。即对人物的活动、经历、事件的发展变化过程作一般性的交代和述说。

叙述在记叙文中的作用主要是:

(1)直接交代事情发生的时间、地点、背景.介绍事悄的前因后果和发展过程。

(z)一般地介绍人物的身世、地位、经历、事迹.使读者能有概括的了解。

(3)用于开头、结尾、插叙、补叙、过渡、照应,作这些成分的表达方式。

(4)作抒情和议论的一种特殊手段。

叙述有种种分类。从叙述方式上,有顺叙、倒叙、擂叙、追叙、补叙等;从叙述角度上,有第一人称叙述,第二人称叙述和第三人称叙述。从叙述的详略上,有概叙和详叙。

概叙,也就是概括叙述,即用简明扼要的句子介绍人物或事件的梗概.使人对人或事获得一个轮廓式的印象。

详叙,也就是具体叙述.即把人物的情况和活动,事情的面貌和过程,比较详细,连带各种细节述说出来。

概括叙述和具体叙述往往配合起来使用。在行文中,或者先概括叙述事物概貌、背景.再具体叙述事物详情和过程;或者先具体叙述事物详情和过程,再作总貌或结论性的概述,或者把概括叙述和具体叙述交叉起来进行.

概括叙述和具体叙述往往表现为一种条块组合,并运用于对事物进行的点面结合的介绍说明之中,把概述交代事情进程、人物行踪和具体叙述事情进程中各阶段的面貌、情景,人物行踪中的所见所闻结合起来.这叫条块组合,这是一种叙事模式。对事物的介绍往往又要用点面结合的方式。“面”指照顾全面的大面儿上的材料.这往往用概叙方式,“点”,指在事物全面和整体上有典型性、代表性的重点材料,这往往要用详叙的方式。点面结合.概叙详叙结合,便能使人对事物获得既全面而又具体的印象,也最节省笔里,符合语言表达上的“经济”性原则

2.描写

是记叙文的另一种主要表达方式。即对人物、事物、场面、景物所作的具体、形象的刻画和描幕.它是用语言为人、物、景造形、“照相”,再现景物风貌、人物外部特征和内心世界.使人获得对人物如见其形、如闻其声、如窥其心,对物如睹其状、如临其境的鲜明、真切的感受。

描写有环境描写和人物描写。环境描写,又有自然环境描写、社会环境描写、场面描写和场所描写.人物描写又分外貌描写、行动描写、语言描写、心理描写。而环境描写和人物描写中又包含了细节描写。(见前面章节)

叙述和描写的区别,主要表现在其表达的语言内容,能否在读者头脑里形成画面,形成生动、具体的感性形象,使读者获得某种体验或共鸣。不能,即是叙述;能,即是描写。

篇2:怀念的英语作文初中

全文共 1382 字

+ 加入清单

He always rose early to enjoy at least two hours of solitude in the house

and garden before the rest of the family came down In winter he spent most of

the time reading and writing. In sum mer he liked to get out of doors to work in

the kitchen garden or to take the dog for a walk in the neighbouring woods and

fields Whatever the weather, there was plenty to occupy him.

Although he was a creature of habit, there seemed to be an infinite variety

in his pursuits. He wrote book reviews regularly for two of the national

weeklies. He worked conscientiously his special subject, Indian History, and was

thus one of the world authorities on it;

he collected modern abstract paintings and so had a circle of friends

amongst artists and sculptors; there was hardly anything he did not know about

traditional jazz and he often entertained both British and America n jazz

musicians He was a superb cook and knew a lot about French and German food.

His family adored him and in a sense he was spoiled by them. At first

glance you would have taken him for a retired army officer-his bearing was

erect, his hair was cut short, he was fussy about his clothes, which were always

neat, clean and conventional. He liked to keep fit, and this was reflected in

his clear, steady blue eyes and healthy suntanned complexion. He hardly ever

watched TV, but enjoyed a good film and an occasional evening at the

theatre.

+ 加入清单

With the rapid development of the internet, shopping on the Internet has

become a fashion in our daily life. According to the latest data, over two

hundred million people used to buy commodities on the Internet. Some of the

students also join the group.

There are many advantages about shopping on the Internet. Just by a click

of the mouse, you can buy whatever you like without going outdoors. You don’t

need to worry about being trapped in the crowed people and cars, or wasting too

much time on walking. When shopping on line, you can choose from more varieties

of goods, whose price are generally lower.

Every coin has two sides. Its disadvantages are obvious, too. On one hand,

it’s very easy for you to buy goods different from the pictures you see on the

internet,which is quite disappointed. On the other hand, shopping on the

Internet may cause people to buy commodities that are not badly needed. It’s a

waste of money.

After all, I really enjoy shopping on the Internet.

After a happy winter vacation, the new year began again. We all gathered together and talked happily about the interesting news in the winter vacation.

All of us have fun and laugh. We cant forget the good time of the new year. New years Eve, as usual, fireworks day, we also say that all sorts of gossip to play their own fireworks, a long pole fireworks blooming like chrysanthemum, such as bright pearl of a large fireworks, little and dainty broken beads...... Jiang Zehong is talking about, he has never seen everyone "Fu" big fireworks, called "big fortune". The "Pi" with a bang, a fireball into the sky, "Mao Ba Ba" fried into a big red shining "Fu". After a while, the word "happiness" has become a meteor, dancing posture, he slipped to the door, just like a large fortune, the dog wangwang! Lets listen to the itch in our heart, and we want to have a look.

On the eve of the new years Eve, for the year, there must be little money. Wang Yi people engage in innovation, the red gifts are hidden. Wang Yi had to turn the house down to the sky and search one by one, not a small corner. Pays off, Wang Yi people find their red envelopes gift in the kitchen, balcony, room finally. Li Yans mother-in-law is the most fond of Li Yan, the stuff in the plate, and the most money for her. Li Yan is also very love her mother-in-law, not only sensible and well behaved, and flattering, before leaving, dont forget to wish small mother-in-law: "good luck, longevity, happiness as immense as the Eastern Sea, everything is well, the dog wangwang!"

The breath of the country is thicker than the city. When Zou Jianing burned incense in a country temple, he was lucky to see a lion and a dragon. I saw the lion majestic-looking, yaotouhuangnao, vivid, it stared at the headlight gun like eyes, went to the east to the West in the jump, is pleased to run wild. I do not know what time from the lions sprang out of a dragon, it was glittering, restless dragon flying up and down, the two. With the sound of drums, dragon and lion gradually walked away. But its fresh enough for the children we grew up in the city.

There are many interesting things during the winter vacation, Li Tian heap a snowman full of personality. Huang Yuanhao put a big kite of one meter long. Zhu Zhendong fished the fish patiently. Yao Qing made a new house at his uncles house. Jiang Danwen wanted to dig the shepherds purse, dug a basket of wild herbs...... The happy winter vacation is over. It is sure that this summer vacation will have more interesting things to happen.

度过一个愉快的寒假,新年又开始了。大家又都聚在一起,兴致勃勃地谈论起寒假生活中的趣闻。

大家津津乐道,有说有笑,对过年的美好时光久久不能忘怀。除夕夜,照例是放烟花爆竹的日子,大家也七嘴八舌地说出了那天自己玩的烟花,有绽开似菊的长竿烟花,灿烂如明珠般的大礼花,小巧玲珑的碎珠……姜泽宏更是侃侃而谈,原来他放了个大家从未见过的“福”字大礼花,叫“大福临门”。那随着“噼叭”一声巨响,一团火球窜上了与天空,“噼哩叭啦”地炸成了一个大红色的闪耀着金光的“福”字。过一会儿,这个“福”字又变成了一颗颗流星,舞动着身姿,向他家门口滑落,还真像大福临门,狗年旺旺!听得我们心里直痒痒,也想放个看看。

过除夕,拜大年,肯定少不了压岁钱。王苡人家搞了个创新,把红包礼物都藏了起来。王苡人只好把家里翻个底朝天,逐一逐个地搜寻,不放过一个小角落。皇天不负有心人,王苡人终于在厨房、阳台、书房里找到了自己的红包礼物。李燕的小婆婆最疼爱李燕了,压岁盘里的东西随便挑,给她的压岁钱也最多。李燕也很喜欢她的小婆婆,不仅懂事乖巧,而且讨人欢心,临走时,还不忘祝小婆婆:“福如东海,寿比南山,吉祥如意,万事顺心,狗年旺旺!”

乡村的过年气息比城市还浓。邹佳凝在乡下的寺庙里烧香时,有幸看见了舞狮、舞龙的人群。只见那狮子威风凛凛、摇头晃脑、活灵活现,它瞪着大灯炮似眼睛,窜到东跳到西,犹如在高兴地撒野。不知从什么时候狮群里窜出了一条龙,它浑身金光闪闪,好动的龙上下翻飞,来了个二龙戏珠。随着敲锣打鼓的声音,龙与狮群渐渐走远了。不过,这对我们在城市里长大的孩子来说是够新鲜的。

寒假里还有许多有趣的事,李恬堆了个个性十足的雪人。黄苑皓放了个一米多长的燕形大风筝。朱振栋耐心地钓了次鱼。姚庆在舅舅家闹新房。姜丹雯本想挖荠菜,结果挖了一蓝子的野菜……愉快的寒假结束了,想必今年的暑假也一定会有更有趣的事发生吧!

篇6:初中写长城的游记作文600字

全文共 645 字

放眼望去,丹东的虎山长城蜿蜒曲折,静静地卧在碧绿的群山间,一直延伸到山顶。炎炎夏日下,我们居然要去爬长城!我的心里开始打鼓:“这个,好像有点高,天气似乎有点热……”可是爸爸妈妈都没有退缩,我也一定要坚持爬上去。

咦,居然是个小缓坡,夹着几级台阶,路面宽敞又平坦,没走一会儿,我们就看见一座灰白色的塔楼横在前方,一走进去,好清凉呀!爬长城也没那么难嘛!我鼓足勇气,一口气又爬了三四座塔楼。

突然,道路开始变窄,一排陡峭的台阶矗立在我们眼前,这时我开始犹豫了:继续前行,肯定是条险阻之路,往下倒比较平坦,可是如果就这么打道回府,是不是有点丢脸呢?男子汉,还是要挑战一下困难的!于是,一咬牙,我登上了石阶。

噫吁嚱,危乎高哉,虎山长城之难,难于上青天!我的手紧紧地抓着边上的栏杆,慢慢地往上挪。太阳烘烤着我们,汗珠一颗颗往下落,我像是要被融化了。周围没有一丝风,知了也热得受不了,拼命地抱怨。抬头望去,高耸的台阶直插云霄;回头看,深不可测。紧张感油然而生,我本能地把手抓得更紧,横着脚步,像螃蟹一样一点一点地往上爬,就差没手脚并用了。妈妈紧紧抓着我的手,双脚不住地打颤,嘴里念叨着:“小心!慢一点儿!”我想,以前的士兵要负重攀登这段艰难的路程,可真辛苦!相比之下,我们已经好受多了。

我们所有人互相鼓励,一鼓作气,终于爬上了长城的最高处。此时,我们已经汗如雨下,但看着蜿蜒的长城被我们踩在了脚底下,这种一览众山小的感觉真让我有一种自豪感。

俗话说“不到长城非好汉”,今天,我们已经成为雄赳赳气昂昂的好汉了!

这几年,许多同学都在假期补课,而且从来没有补过,由于我喜欢玩,不喜欢学习。眼看着新的假期又要来了,我们班上的许多同学都在报名被课。有的同学喜欢补数学;有的同学喜欢补作文;大多数同学喜欢补英语,由于英语太难啦!对我来讲,英语好像从来没有及格过,看着同学们都积极学习的样子,我也有些心动了。

由于去年假期,同学们都在补课,没有人和我玩,我现在想还不如去和他们一起补课算了,那么选哪一门课呢?后来想了一想,我就决定补自己最差的英语了。那天,我报了名,英语老师说:“凤凤,你早就得补你的英语了,这次来一定要好好学,其实英语一点都不难!”听了英语老师的话,我的心里别提多兴奋了。

到了补课其间,我们每个人都准备了新的笔记本,将老师讲的每一个要点都记了下来。因为在这里补课的同学还有其他班上的同学,所以学习热情很高涨,我也不好意思玩了。别的同学做什么,我就做什么,反正自己也没有好的学英语方法,所以现在就是我最好的学习机会。

差不多一个月的时间,我的英语水平提高了许多,最后的测试分数不再是倒数第一,我终于进步了。当我拿着成绩让爸爸妈妈看进,他们一直夸我有进步,并要继续努力。当时,我的心里乐滋滋的,非常感谢假期补英语的生活

Nowadays it is common to encounter a scene when people want to see things

happen but can‘t make things happen for various reasons. The most important

reason is that they just refuse to create and innovate. With the accelerated

pace of our society,more and more people recognize the importance of creation

that is bound to make a difference in social productivity.

As far as I am concerned,we should all have the notion of being the

participants of supporting creation. First of all,creation is the most vital

factor to improve the inner competitiveness of our nation. For another,it is

certain that creation is so essential that enables many people to find their

positions in the company and careers in their lives.

Measures are also needed to encourage creation . First and foremost,the

government should establish certain rules to sweep up the obstacles of

invention. Some people have already complained much about complicated procedure

of patent applications or high fees to do experiments of inventions.

Additionally,high schools and universities can provide students with

scholarships or overseas learning opportunities,which will stimulate more

youngsters to join the group of invention and innovation.

我们的伟大领袖毛泽东曾经说过:不到长城非好汉。多少人把长城比做一条巨龙,中国的雄魂!而我,却更愿意把她比作一位女侠,既有男儿的气宇轩昂,又有女子的蕙心兰质。

长城雄。想当年,秦始皇为抑制匈奴入侵,下令修筑万里长城。长城是残酷的,为了她的修建,多少人命丧于此;长城是冰冷的,孟姜女哭了三天三夜,她却依旧不为动容;长城是美好的,她西起临洮,东到辽东,走过了山山水水,看遍了世间繁华美好,在朦胧烟雨中怡然傲笑。

长城美。轻抚青砖,不禁感叹长城之美,多少人对她魂牵梦萦只为她那独一份的雄伟。而于我,却只醉心于她的陈年韵味。在我眼中,她是一位饱含风霜的美女子。她对于美的诠释如清代文学家王潮《幽梦影》中说过:“所谓美人者,以花为貌,以鸟为声,以月为神,以柳为态,以玉为骨,以冰雪为肤,以秋水为姿,以诗词为心。”可见美人之美在于胸中有丘壑。她的一颦一笑无不显示出她那历经岁月沉淀沧桑的美,长城几千年的阅历正是这份美的沉淀。

长城思。踏上一眼望不见尽头的长城,我在想长城也是孤独的吧!几千年,多少楼台在烟雨中毁灭,而她依然屹立在这烟雨中,但是,却无一人陪伴着她走过这几百年。也许,在秦朝与匈奴作战时,她会惊喜的想,终于有人来陪伴我了,千刀万箭扎在她身上,她在不经意间,一滴泪砸在地上,可心中却是欢喜的。她快乐了一阵子。可是一个汉武帝破坏了她的快乐,匈奴告败,天下太平,士兵退去了,那一刻她怔住了,她体会到了比千刀万剐加上她身上还要让她悲伤。她怨,怨为什么没有陪她了?但她明白,她不能让她的欢乐建立在百姓的痛苦之上。百姓更需要和平,她自己的孤独又算些什么?终于要走了,士兵们回头望了长城最后一眼,她绽开了一最美的微笑,可是心中,悲伤却早已逆流成河。

而我,倚在长城上细思长城身前身后事,不禁叹了一口气,这青砖古瓦的辉煌,许是多年后的一场梦吧?

The Dragon Boat Festival is a lunar (阴历)holiday, occurring (存正)on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month (农历史五月第五天)

The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is a significant (有意义的)holiday celebrated (庆祝)in China, and the one with the longest history (历史最悠久). The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated by boat races (龙舟赛) in the shape of dragons. Competing teams (竞争团队) row their boats forward to a drumbeat (击古)racing to reach the finish end first.

The boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are traditional customs (传统习俗)to attempts to (试图)rescue (搭救) the patriotic poet (爱国诗人)Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan drowned (溺死) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C. Chinese citizens now throw bamboo leaves (竹叶) filled with cooked rice into the water. Therefore the fish could eat the rice rather than the hero poet. This later on turned into the custom of eating tzungtzu and rice dumplings(棕子).

The celebrations is a time for protection (防护) from evil (邪恶) and disease (疾病) for the rest of the year. It is done so by different practices such as hanging healthy herbs on the front door, drinking nutritious concoctions (营养品), and displaying (展示) portraits (画像) of evils nemesis(邪恶报应), Chung Kuei. If one manages to (成功做...) stand (直立)an egg on its end at exactly 12:00 noon, the following year will be a lucky one.
