In summer days, the weather is too hot to stand. But students have to stay outside all the day. In addition, the training is very hard. Students have to learn to be a solder. They have to obey many rules that they don’t have to in daily life. And the trainer is very strict to students. They do like our teachers who care us patiently.

军训

在我国，当我们去上初中的时候，我们必须参加军训。到部分的学生都害怕军训，因为训练通常是在炎热的夏天进行。夏天，天气炎热难熬。但是，学生必须一整天都呆在外面。另外，训练还很辛苦。学生们必须像士兵一样。他们必须遵守很多在日常生活中无需遵守的规则。而且，教官对学生很严厉。他们像老师一样耐心照顾我们。但是，军训也是一种锻炼学生意志的好方法。它对学生的生活很有帮助。因此，军训对学生是很必要的。

Protect our environment

In the last several decades, our earth has been extremely polluted, such as air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution and so on. In recent years, the extreme weather becomes more and more frequent. Winter gets colder and summer becomes hotter and it rains more frequently. All of these warn us that protecting the environment is a serious and emergent event. As our general people, we should build proper lifestyle. We should pay attention to water and light saving. When we go out, we should firstly choose the public transportation. The most important is that we must realize that we can do a lot of things to protect our environment. Its our duty to make our home better. Let’s change from ourselves.

Mid-autumn is a traditional festival in China. It’s also called Autumn festive, August festival, daughters festival, or Reunion festival and so on. It’s often on August 15th in lunar calendar every year, but in some places, it’s on the 16th August, such as Ningbo, Lanzhou and Zhou Shan.

Mid-autumn day is thought to be the best festival with human touch or interest and poetic sentiment and mood of a painting. It’s a reunion festival, on the day, people always miss close relatives and friends. Wherever they are, they always go home to see their parents and brothers and sisters, or their wife or husband and their children. The people who are in far away also give a call to the persons they are concerning with.

On this day, people often eat moon cake, nuts and some special food. And in some places, the days before Mid-autumn day, they do the rabbits with wheat, which stand of peace and reunion. On the evening, family members or friends always stay together to watch the moon as eating moon cake and nuts, or as talking each other happily.

The night of November 12th, 2010 was indeed a glorious night for our Chines, because the Opening Ceremony of Asian Games was held on Haixinsha Island in Guangzhou. Over 7000 people took part in it.

All of the performances were impressive, but the most interesting one was Sail on Cloud. During that programme, 180 performers were hung in the air to dance. How wonderful it was! Every audience burst out praise. I couldn’t help shouting. But it was a pity that I just watched it from TV. How I wish I were there!

This afternoon, my father took me to the Olympic swimming, I was very happy, because for the first time I go to, have been very much looking forward to, every time my dad said, but did not go into, finally can go this time. But then I thought: "our two people will be bored, so I invited my brother and uncle to play."

I went swimming with my brother in the swimming pool. Has begun! First I was in the front, then I was a little tired, my brother was speeding up the "overtaking", and finally I couldnt get over it, I lost!

Then, my brother and I against uncle and father, I took my gun "embedded" underwater, brother to guide dad and uncle to come over, I suddenly emerged from the water, with water gun against them. We have a method, is "a diversion" we are currently using to a place where water spray nozzle, uncle and father went away in the past, we attack from behind them. The attack succeeded.

今天下午，爸爸带我去奥体游泳，我高兴极了，因为我第一次去，一直很期待，每次爸爸都说去，可是都没有去成，这次终于可以去了。可是我又一想：我们两个人玩会无聊的，所以我就邀请了哥哥和叔叔一起来玩。

进了游泳池我和哥哥比赛游泳。开始了!首先我在前面，后来我有点累了，哥哥马上加速“超车了”，最后我一直反超不了，我输了!

然后，我和哥哥对战叔叔和爸爸，我拿着水枪“埋入”水底，哥哥把叔叔和爸爸引过来，我突然从水里冒出来，用水枪攻击他们。我们又有了一个方法，就是“声东击西”我们现用水枪向一个地方喷水，叔叔和爸爸就走了过去，我们从他们的背后攻击。攻击成功了。

最后，我们2比1的分数赢了!我们十分的开心!下次我还要来。今年的暑假我过得十分欢乐

一个暑假过去了，同学们迎来了初二的第一学期，我们这一学期的航程又要开始了!这个暑假的时间很长，相信大家，也一定充分的利用了这个暑假做好了预习、复习等工作。

新的学期了，大家的个子长高了，身体变强壮了，知识面更广泛了，也变得更加懂事了，因为我们都长大了许多。但是我想，我们还有一样，是不会改变的。那就是我们对学习的那份热爱。那种有增无减的热爱!

学习中，我们的个性可以去张扬，我们的雄心可以去展示。学校为我们创设了发展个性、完善人格的天地。上课时，课堂是我们放飞梦想的乐园。在这里，有知识的甘露等我们吮吸，有思维的天空任我们翱翔，有智慧的宝库等我们开启，有未知的世界等我们去解谜，有诸多的权威盼我们去挑战……

这一学年来讲，对于我们非常的重要，我想，每一个人都憋足了劲要更加努力的学习!进入这一学期，自主学习对于我们来说非常重要，这也是从我们刚刚上初一的时候就开始培养的能力。我们的自习课，自习作业，包括住宿生的早锻炼和晚自习，都是为了培养大家自主学习的能力。相信经过这么长一段时间的培养，进入初二，我们就能很快的适应这种学习的方法。

曾经的分数，不代表什么!曾经的表现，不以为什么!今天，此时此刻，才是一个新的开始! 播下春天的种子，洒下夏天的汗水，收获秋天的果实，品尝冬天的快乐。知识的海洋等我们去拼搏，生活的天空等我们去翱翔!

开学了，你准备好了吗?

The ends of the earth, the world is so vast, two people who were originally

unknown, but because of big or small events and meet, may also experience a

large list of twists and turns, finally become the friends to know each other.

The probability is too little, so every one of my friends are special, and every

friend is precious. This friendship if lost, will be unusually hard to find. So,

friendship, isnt it a kind of predestination?

Friendship is not only a kind of fate, but also a warm.

人让车，让出一份平安;车让人，让出一份安全。不要当意外发生时，才后悔莫及。一些交通事故的新闻，人们听了也总不放在心上。可只有当你亲眼所见时，你才会意识到交通安全多么重要。

那天，一切如往常一样平静。微风拂过，让秋天本就枯黄的树叶摇曳起来，好像随时就会掉落。阳光不燥，透过树枝洒下一道道斑驳的影子。可谁也没想到，那样的事居然就在这天发生了……

放学回家，我站在十字路口的斑马线上，准备过马路。身旁是一群小朋友，他们应该也刚放学，正叽叽喳喳地讨论着什么，笑得格外开心。我也没在意，绿灯亮了，便走过马路，孩子们也紧随其后。

忽然，“咚”地一声如雷声般响起，传来一阵尖叫声和孩子的哭声。轰的一下，我脑子一片空白，不会吧?我有些害怕，不敢去想发生了什么。回头一瞧，吓得差点叫出声。一个孩子摔倒在地，地上流着血。那个孩子飞出去了大概有五米远，满身的伤痕好像在昭示着那个开车人的罪行。一辆车停在我身后不远处，车上有明显擦痕。有几个孩子吓哭了，却又不敢大声哭泣。这一幕，被鲜血凝聚，深深地刻在我的脑子里。

我脑子里却乱糟糟的，究竟为什么会发生这样的事?一个孩子都可以遵守交通规则，为什么一个大人却不行呢?难道有什么是比生命安全还重要的?

不幸中的万幸，那个孩子没有昏迷，有人打电话叫来了救护车。后来，看见孩子被抬上了救护车，大家才散了。现场，只嗅得一丝血腥的味道弥漫在空气中。忽然明白了为什么要用红灯表示停止——因为啊，只有血的教训，才叫人刻骨铭心。“绿灯行，红灯停，黄灯来了等一等。”这句连小孩子都会说的顺口溜，为什么会有那么多人都做不到呢?

那个孩子就算没有生命危险，也一定有不小的心理阴影，甚至会给与他同行的孩子造成影响，就像我一般怎么也忘不掉那个场景。的确，那天之后，这件事便在我的脑海里挥之不去，时时刻刻提醒着我。

上帝很慷慨也很吝啬，他给了我们很多，可生命只有一次。所以，让我们大家一起遵守交通规则，让安全伴我同行!

【—之怎样交朋友】下面是老师为同学们带来一篇关于我怎样交朋友的范文，供同学们写作时参考。希望对同学们有帮助。

How to Make Friends

For some, it’s easy to make new friends in school because they are outgoing. But for some others, it seems difficult. Here are some tips to make friends.

对有些人来说，在学校交友很容易，因为他们很外向。但是对其他人来说，这似乎比较困难。以下是交友的几点建议。

Firstly, be positive and outgoing. Only when you are positive and outgoing, others would like to talk to you and then make friends with you. Secondly, develop some interests. It’s easier for people to make new friends when you have common interests. They can supply topics to discuss. Thirdly, be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before you talking about yourself. Finally, try to help your friends when they are in trouble, because a friend in need is a friend indeed.

首先，要积极外向。只有当你积极外向的时候，别人才会喜欢和你交谈然后和你做朋友。其次，发展一些兴趣。当有共同兴趣的时候，交新朋友对人们才更容易。他们能够提供可讨论的话题。再次，做一个好的倾听者。在你谈论自己之前先让别人说说他们自己。最后，当你的朋友遇到困难的时候尝试帮助他们，因为患难见真情。

怎样交朋友在我们交友的过程中是很重要的一件事，交到好朋友则一生受益，否则相反。

Since I go to middle school, I stay away from home and live in school from Monday to Friday.

The first time for me to leave home made me felt so lonely. I did not have friends here and no one to count on. But I told myself that I needed to try to be independent. So I solved all the problems by myself, I washed my own clothes and cleaned the bed, which were done by my mother before.

I found that I could take care of myself without my parents’ help. What’s more, I made good friends here, we had the same interest and we helped each other in study. A year passed, I learned a lot and became independent.

自从我上中学,我就远离家,住在学校，从星期一到星期五。第一次离开家让我感到如此孤独。在这里我没有朋友,也没有人可以依靠。但我告诉自己,我需要试着去独立。所以我自己解决了所有的问题,我自己洗衣服，整理床铺,在之前是我母亲为我做这些。我发现我能照顾自己，即使没有父母的帮助。更重要的是,我交到了好朋友,我们有同样的兴趣，互相帮助学习。一年过去了,我学到了很多，变得独立。

[初中英语作文：尝试独立

It was a sunny day today,when i got up in the morning,i decided to see my

grandparents.so i took the bus and got there at noon,they were happy to see

me,and i was very happy,too.

In the afternoon,my farther asked me to help him water the plant,and i was

happy to see the flowers smiling in the wind.

In a word,today is a unforgetive day.because i saw my relatives and helped

people.

When I was very small, I always looked forward to the coming of Christmas

Day, because it meant that I would have presents early in the morning. It was

such an exciting thing for me. My mother told me that if I was doing well in the

year, the Santa Claus would give me bonus. I believed in it and I acted

politely. I got my present every Christmas morning and I was so proud of myself.

Now I have grown up and realize the truth of Santa Claus. I am so thankful of my

parents, as they make up the story and help me to be an excellent kid.

算起来，自己也上了10几年的学了，和老师打的交道也不算少的。自打到了初三，我和老师的关系就越来越密切了，隔三差五的，我就要去和老师交流下感情，那个点击率啊，真是高啊。每天，必有一次谈心。我不知道为什么，我只知道，老师特别喜欢和我聊天。

第一次月考完了之后，我不小心，在全年级进步了70多名。我并没付出什么努力，该怎么玩还是怎么玩，可能就是老前辈们说的，雨花石偶尔反一下光。所以，我上课要打瞌睡的这个习惯还是没改。有一天，我和同桌闹了矛盾，她就不帮我看着老师了，任由我睡，她也不管了，正好，上课的时候是班主任的课。结果可想而知，我被老师抓住了。老师说：“刘柏森，下课来下办公室。”我站起来点点头，说：“我可以坐下了么？”“你给我站着。”“拜托，老师，昨晚上看历史书来着，没睡好，站着，我睡不着。”全班一阵安静。老师笑了(历史老师)：“什么？昨晚上看历史？嗯，不错，你坐下吧……”忽然反应过来，“你什么意思啊？看历史你就不站了啊？站着，没什么好说的！”下课后，我到了办公室里蹲下。老师回过头，看着成绩表说：“你是不是考得好嘛！看下你成绩嘛！比上次期末……”她拿着尺子从成绩表上划下来，划到我的名字上，愣了一下，清了清嗓子说：“我们先不说这个成绩的问题，我们先说一下你上课睡觉的问题……”我无语。

某天，英语老师上课的时候，写了个句子出来全班狂笑，我也跟着笑。老师问：“这个句子错在哪里？刘柏森，你来说下。”我笑不出来了。别说，我还真没看出来哪是错的，我站起来，盯着那个句子半天说：“不知道。”老师提醒道：“几个动词了都？”我数了数：“好象多了点，3个。”老师说：“这什么句子都不是，是按照主语从句搞出来的，主语从句我都多少年没用过了，我都是二昏二昏的，你们还敢用？”我又笑起来。老师白了我一眼：“还笑，就是你写的！”我一愣，我写的？老师又接着说：“这就是你写的，还高手呢，写的都是什么啊？”我看了看我的作文本，我写的是“。”于是我说：“那个不是我写的。”“反正也是半斤八两。”我再看了看：“没错，格式是正确的。”从此，就没人再把我当成英语高手了。

摸底考试完了之后，我下降了很多，原因我就不说了，班主任大人一看成绩，顿时火冒三丈，把我叫到办公室说：“怎么回事你？是不是想其他去了？手伸出来，我要好好教训你。”说罢，拿起那把教棍，对着我的手一通乱打，然后问：“记住好好学习没有？”“记住了。”“好了，你走吧。”我抬起头，刚要走出去，老师又把我叫住：“回来！”我问：“还有什么事？”老师说：“你还有什么没说的？”我想了想，没想出来，旁边一个蹲在地上的哥们说：“一看就是不怎么进办公室的，你忘了说‘谢谢老师’了。”我一听，赶紧说：“谢谢老师。”老师点点头：“嗯，去吧。”我的那个汗啊……

我现在正在期待究竟在初三下期还会有什么样的事情发生……

Boundless sea to look forward to, give people the beauty, give a person

warm motherly love.

The sea is like a poem; it jumps; like a picture, rich in meaning; and like

a symphony, vast and mighty...... It is like a mirror; sometimes calm, sometimes

filled with rage, overwhelming, to sail the boat overturned. In my mind, the sea

is blue world, is also the cradle of life. Pregnant with many free and small

life. The sea is so mysterious, so charming!

Now the sea has changed. The sea is no longer clear, it becomes muddy and

dirty. Washed up on the beach, left is no longer alive and kicking the fish

shrimp, instead of the piles of rubbish, but also mixed with a lot of dead fish

shrimp, stinking. Why is that? Its all because of us. When people admire the

beauty of the seaside, they throw the foul rubbish into the sea. There are also

people living on the beach, the toilet drain pipe to the bottom of the sea.

Whats worse is that the factory waste water flows into the sea in large stocks,

and the sea is dyed in a strange color. Led to the birth of a lot of lack of

brains, low IQ infants, our next generation - bright eyes [voice tender], the

face of the next generation of red, will never see the beautiful blue sea.

Someone once did an experiment. He compared a basin of water to the ocean,

and dropped a drop of ink into the sea. Immediately, the ink slowly spread out,

became shallow and disappeared. The sea water was almost as clean as ever. If

the ink kept dropping, the color of the sea would be deeper and darker, and

eventually it would become a basin of black water. 6 billion people on the earth

produce large quantities of living waste water and industrial pollution every

day. Like ink, it has been injected into the clear sea water. It has become a

polluted lake.

To the health of our human beings, to see the beautiful blue sea for our

children and grandchildren. Let us act now, love the ocean as much as we love

life, and love the common blue home of mankind.

The imperial palace, also known as the Forbidden City, is the imperial

palace of the Ming and qing dynasties, which is the largest and most complete

ancient architectural complex in China. I especially want to know the

architecture of ancient palaces and the living environment of ancient

emperors.

One weekend in the golden autumn, the sun is shining and the autumn wind is

crisp. My mother and I went to visit the Palace Museum in the center of the

city. I was very happy.

Enter the gate of the Forbidden City, "wow! Its so big here!" I couldnt

help it. The mother said, "the most spectacular is still in the back!" We first

visited the architectural model of the imperial palace and its construction. I

know that the imperial palace covers an area of over 720,000 square meters, with

more than 9,000 rooms, all wooden structures, and all the wooden structures have

no nails. The palace is the blue and white stone base, the tall roof, the yellow

glazed tile, the pattern of the dragon everywhere, and decorated with the

brilliant color of the golden wall. I observed all the palaces, and found that

the palaces were lined up along the north-south axis, and spread out to the

sides, to the north and south, and to the right and left. I told mom, I found

mother listen to nod a smile, said: "the central axis not only in the Forbidden

City, and nanda YongDingMen, north to the drum tower, almost throughout the

whole city. Its magnificent, well-planned and spectacular.

We have been visiting the taihe temple from the imperial garden. What a

breathtaking view! In the Forbidden City, the most striking is the "three halls"

: the hall of supreme harmony, the hall of harmony, the hall of protection and

the temple. They are all built on the 8-meter-high base of the white jade, which

looks like the qiong yuyu in the myth. The first hall of supreme harmony was the

most magnificent building. People called it the "throne room". It was the place

where the emperor held the grand ceremony. It is 28 meters high, 63 meters, 35

meters north and south, and a large pillar with a diameter of 1 meter. Among

them, six large pillars, one meter in diameter around the throne, are flat

dragon pillars of leached gold. The throne is located at the base of the two

meters high in the temple, with the graceful crane and the top of the furnace,

followed by a carefully carved screen. The whole hall is decorated with golden

walls, which are both majestic and magnificent. The hall of neutralization was

the place where the emperor went to the hall of supreme harmony to take a rest

and exercise etiquette. Baohe and the temple are the place where the emperor

gives banquet to the king of the foreign land every New Year. This is just the

palace buildings, and house decoration is numerous, the rarities of the mother

said: "these treasures is only part of it, when Chiang kai-shek fled to Taiwan

carried away many treasure palace, there are some loss in a foreign country". I

feel sorry for the loss of these treasures. When will these lost treasures

return to the embrace of the motherland? I am looking forward to the reunion of

Taiwan and mainland as soon as possible.

The visit of the Forbidden City made me linger. The Palace Museum is an

unparalleled masterpiece. It is a miracle. Our five thousand years of Chinese

culture are profound and profound, and we should be proud and proud to have

built such a magnificent palace for the ancients. At the same time, we also have

the responsibility to protect these cultural relics from destruction, so that

the five thousand years of splendid civilization of the motherland will be

handed down.

创二（10）班 游湘怡交通安全警钟长鸣交通事故让人泪流满面、惨不忍睹、触目惊心。那些过世的人的家人，将是悲痛欲绝、痛彻心扉，让我感觉心酸、悲惨。 不遵守交通规则就会让你发生交通事故。行人应该注意：不能边走边看书，不能边走边听音乐，不能横穿公路或马路，不能不走人行横道，不能翻越护栏，不能在马路中央打球，也不能在马路上追逐打闹，过人行道时不能闯红灯。行车应该注意不能酒后驾车，满载，超速，闯红灯，接电话，打电话，发信息，疲劳驾车…… 嗨，要是人人都有安全意识就不会有悲剧发生，可惜不是这样子的，就像有这样的经历：那是在青岛的一天，我在上学的路上，是在一个十字路口，我遇到了我的家人。我偏不给她抱，就往别人的人行道跑，结果刚跑一步，一辆车就向我驶来。又跑了一步，那辆车就已经撞到我了。我当时非常害怕，生怕自己要死了。我的亲人看了立即把司机叫出来讨回公道，然后司机就把我送到了医院。亲人把我送到医院后马上给我的老爸打了电话，爸爸立即闻讯赶来，眼角都早已有泪水。通过这件事，让我们知道我们要过马路时要看看左右有没有车。 虽然你出了交通事故，你的人在流血，但是你的家人的心也在流血，你们忍心去伤害你自己吗？你忍心去伤害你的家人吗？所以我们要遵守交通规则，不能掉以轻心，我们要让安全的警钟长鸣。 老师评语： 作者心理活动的刻画非常细致，而且从小就学了替他人考虑，老师替你感到高兴！

With the development of e-commerce, shopping online becomes a new way of

shopping which is getting more and more popular. Many citizens are likely to

shop through internet nowadays.

Generally speaking, shopping online offers lots of advantages with its

convenience the most prominent. There are many commodities on the internet where

you can search whatever you want. Besides, you just click the mouse can you get

all information you want, so that you don’t have to go to the shop personally.

In addtition, the commodities on the Internet is usually cheaper than the stores

which can save much money.

However, everything has two sides. You can not see the products or check

their qualities and some of the sellers on the Internet is not so honest. And,

for those who enjoys shopping around different stores, shopping online perhaps

will make them bored.

In my opinion, shopping online has more advantages than disadvantages, and

with the improvement of e-commerce, there will be more people to shop on the

Internet.
