+ 加入清单时光飞逝,转眼间我就成为一名中学生了。回想起来,仿佛前一秒稚嫩无知我正被父亲牵着手带入小学,而后一秒我就成为了一名有志青年,走入了我新校园。
在我的小学时光里,语文老师教我们语文知识和品德,数学老师让我们的逻辑思维更发达,英语老师带我们认识了一种新的语言,体育老师让我们的身体更强壮。。。。。。在这样的环境下,我们茁壮成长着。不过到了初中,我们就不再幼稚无知,我们也不能一直依靠老师,我们要开始依靠自己。而且我还做了一些新学期的打算。
一:尊敬老师,团结同学,热爱劳动,热爱班级,自觉遵守学校和班级的各项规章制度。
二:热爱体育锻炼,保证自己有一个强健的身体。
三:要认真完成老师布置的所有作业,课后作业和家庭作业,也要按时独立完成。
四:上课的时候,我要认真听讲不做小动作,不和同学交头接耳,要力争把老师课堂上讲的知识全部消化。
五:在课前一定要认真做好预习和复习工作,在课堂上要积极发言,如果有不懂得题目要在课后去问老师。
列宁说过“判断一个人,不是根据他自己的表白或对自己的看法,而是根据他的行动。”所以我们不能做“语言上的巨人,行动上的矮子!”虽然有时我们会碰到很多苦难,但我们可以用我们坚定的意志来克服困难取得更骄人的成绩,为自己创造更美好的明天。

+ 加入清单白驹过隙,时光荏苒,恍如隔世,转眼之间,曾经令人无比向往的愉快而美妙的暑假就要跟我们道别了,我们是多么依依不舍啊!想努力把它留下,可人是无法控制时光的流逝,再一眨眼,它就从我们身边溜走了,顷刻间化为乌有,烟消云散,初一新学期的计划和打算作文900字。为此我们得再次拼搏奋斗,用自己的汗水和心血换取下一个假期的轻松和愉快。
告别了小学的愉快生活,中学富丽堂皇的大门有向我们开启,向我们伸出欢迎的臂膀,热情地迎接我们的道来。我们接受了这份难得可贵的热情,踏进了中学的大门,走进了新的学校,新的班集体,融入了新的学习生活,新的团队。
我们走进了知识的殿堂,将用一把把神奇的金灿灿的钥匙,打开一间间知识,智慧的宝库。我们期待着,希望能吮吸到更多知识的甘霖,希望在初中的第一个新学期里能表现得更出色。
面对中学这三年,我们不应当害怕退缩,而应当勇敢地走出去,面对一切艰难险阻。中学三年看似有些漫长,其实却很短暂,因此我们更应该抓紧一分一秒努力学习,认真完成各项作业,合理安排作息时间,按计划有条理地完成老师布置的任务,给老师留下一个难以抹灭的烙印。
要知道,初中是比小学更高的一个层次,因此我们更应当稳抓?打,加固我们自身的“地基”,并且牢牢地抓住眼前的每一个难得的机会,把握住时机,千万不能错失良机,作文900字《初一新学期的计划和打算作文900字》。

就以上三大点,我给自己在初中第一学期里定下了三大“战略”目标:
首先要自觉遵守中学“学生一日常规”。上课要认真听课,做课堂笔记,完成作业,要努力养成温故而知新的良好的学习习惯,改掉粗心,马虎的坏毛病。做任何事都应当仔细谨慎,观察入微。在成绩方面要过应,期中考之前,要在班级站?脚跟,靠进班级前十。
其次应当抓住每一个时机,不能错过,稳稳地向前迈出每一步。
最后应当展现最好的自己,让自己在各方面都很出色。并且跟周围的同学结下深厚的友情,从陌生一直到熟悉,让老师信任自己,看见自己存在的价值,要知道是金子总会发光的。
如果初一的时候抓紧时间为自己打下了良好的基础,那初中三年的不易也将会屡屡化解,也不会像当初想象的那么难了。如果完成那三大“战略”目标,就可以像蜀国丞相诸葛亮一样“坐观天下事”了!

这篇作文仅得了32分,我也不怕丢人,留在博客上,对我也算是个教训。
我读懂了诚信
身处在二十一世纪的我们,深知“诚信”的重要。“诚信”已成为当今世界上最令人关注的道德。
中国,如今在世界上是一个举足轻重的正在崛起的新兴大国,正是因为讲诚信,才有了发展的机会。改革开放之前,中国还是一个穷国家,但在改革开放的几十年里,中国一直信奉着“诚信”。因为诚信,中国加入了WTO(国际贸易组织),WTO中的第一项“游戏”规则就是“诚信”。中国加入WTO后,严格遵守诚信的原则,经济迅速地增长。虽然中国的实力越来越强,但依然固守“诚信”二字。亚洲经济危机爆发,使全世界都看到了一个负责任的中国。正是因为诚信,中国在世界上的话语权越来越多。由此可见,诚信在国家间多么重要,它促成了一个国家的发展。
在这个看重“诚信”的时代,没有诚信,你将无法在社会上立足。
前些时在一本杂志上看到一篇文章:一个年轻人在剑桥大学留学,成绩十分优异,但有几次坐车时,他逃了票。毕业后,他带着学历到几家公司去应聘,招聘的人一开始是热情接待,并表示他可以来上班,但没过几天,聘方就以种种的理由拒绝了他。他每次去不同的公司应聘,得到的都是相同的境遇:招聘人先是对他眉开眼笑,但没过几天,他就被招聘人所拒绝。他百思不得其解,终于有一天,他知道了自己被拒绝的原因:原来他有三次逃票的经历。由此可见,当今社会多么看重诚信呀!诚信就是衡量一个人的标准,没有了诚信,你将失去一切!
我开始慢慢读懂了“诚信”。它可以让一个国家崛起、兴盛,它可以让一个人走向成功。我们要牢牢地把握住“诚信”。立足于“诚信”,我们将拥有一切;失去“诚信”,我们将一事无成。
诚信之于人,犹翅膀之于鸟,诚信是飞翔的翅膀!
我读懂了诚信!

篇16:关于元宵节英语
全文共 6620 字
+ 加入清单There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.
But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and
cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the
higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light
each year.
One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven
in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny
of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided
when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.
Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the
emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to
bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of
the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he
proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would
last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.
Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the
Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of
the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of
entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which
they pray for good fortune.
Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival
speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted
and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because
the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy
the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this
plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.
The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their
imminent destruction.
However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should
hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and
explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the
village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar
day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw
that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the
Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.
From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every
year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and
fireworks.
There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is
about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the
emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying
and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her
and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was
Yuan-Xiao.
She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the
palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the
chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern
promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern
left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised
himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for
their fortunes.
But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th
lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and
asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of
Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in
red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her
mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people
asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to
check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from
Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.
I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You
should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to
the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in
trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on
the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.
Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that
the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often
cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.
Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give
an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the
same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang
red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people
outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern
decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be
deceived.
Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed
the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th
lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of
noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into
the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern
and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her
parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han
Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since
Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao
Festival.
Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.
Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns
were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer
has such implications.
Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern
parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional
Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is
guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang
Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant
harvest, prosperity and love.
