初中英语暑假计划作文【最新20篇】

暑假里的一天下午，我和表哥乐乐、乐乐的朋友王和以及王和的爸爸，一起去温岭的“热带风暴水上乐园”玩。在这么热的天气，能去水里玩一下，真是太棒了!

我们乘着车，一路上说说笑笑的，不一会儿，到了目的地。我们买了门票，换了衣服，来到一个“水上小乐园”，这里有“滑滑梯”、“水上行走”、“攀绳梯”等等项目。看得我心里痒痒的，我想先去“攀绳梯”可走近一看，我就不敢玩了，因为绳梯上吊着一个水桶，旁边的水管里的水不停地流到水桶里面，而且看样子那个水桶快要装满，倒出来了!

这时，一个小孩却不慌不忙地爬上去了，只听“哗啦”一声，水桶倒了，水劈头盖脸地倾泻下来。那个小男孩成了“落汤鸡”。我真替他担心，小男孩却若无其事地继续往上爬。这下好了，水桶里的水桶里的水要装满，还有好一会儿呢!我赶紧爬吧!爬着爬着，突然游泳镜起雾了!于是，我摘下眼镜用手在镜片上擦了一下，想重新戴上。

突然，“哗啦”一声，水桶里的水像洪水一样冲了下来，把我从上到下都冲湿了!这突如其来的水搞得我措手不及，我也成“落汤鸡”了。因为游泳镜还没戴好，水进到眼睛里去了，很难受!我摸了一下自己的眼睛，一下子睁开，突然感觉好酸好酸。眨了眨，才好一些了。

我赶紧向上爬，终于到了滑梯前，我按照告示牌的提示，服服贴贴地躺在滑板上，双手交叉，捏住鼻子，两脚并拢，“嗖”、“哗啦”，我滑进了水里。好凉快啊!太爽了!啊呀呀，不好了，有水进到嘴里了，想吐，却咽到肚子里了。“哈哈哈，没关系嘛。”我自我解嘲地笑着说。

这么热的天，能跟水这么亲密接触，我真是开心极了。

There are many interesting things in my summer vacation, and the

interesting things in summer vacation are like spray after spray, which will be

treasured in my memory forever. Remember a holiday at noon, the sun baked the

earth.

Look! Cicada and other animals are crying feebly: "dead hot, dead hot..."

the flowers are also sighing, it seems to wither, grass bent down, almost

scorched by the hot sun, dejected cry: "thirsty, thirsty"! There was a heat wave

in the air, and people were almost out of breath. But this afternoon, our family

held a total of interesting family magic competition. First of all, my father

came out, he performed a magic called "China blizzard". I saw my father first

took out a folding fan, and then opened it. He still recited the words "heavenly

spirit, earthly spirit" in his mouth. In fact, it was just a decoration. Below,

I saw my father holding a fan, began to fan up, I saw the colorful pieces of

paper flying out of the air.

Just as I was thinking about how Dads magic changed, mom began to perform.

My mother took a pencil and a red cloth and began to perform. I saw my mother

put the pencil under the red cloth. After putting it away, she was also

reciting. After a while, a pencil came out of the red cloth. Originally, this

magic is called "wear pencil".

Finally, I give mom and dad a score of 9. 5, mom 9, Dad won. Good times are

always short. Unconsciously, we have spent an afternoon in this lively and

amazing time. Throw all the sultry weather out of the way. At the moment, our

family are immersed in this joyful atmosphere!

Time flies, summer vacation is

coming to an end, but some interesting things are always hard to forget, will be

deeply imprinted in my mind!

今天是暑假的第一天，妈妈一大早就出去给我买饭了。她一走我就飞快的起来打扫卫生。我先扫地，当我把地扫得一尘不染的时候门突然响了，是妈妈回来了。我立刻坐在我的小床上，当做什么都不知道，妈妈回来看到了地那么的干净，惊喜地问我：“越越是不是你打扫的，真干净。”我笑眯眯地点了点头。妈妈开心的夸我：“真是个好孩子。”

接着我又写作业了我写了一上午才把数学写完。该吃中午饭了今天的饭可真丰富，有火腿肠，有鸡蛋，还有青菜。妈妈说我的表现很好，下午让我看电视。我等啊等，等啊等，“魔术妙妙手”终于开始了。里面的魔术你总是让你意想不到。一个戒指套在一个皮筋上，戒指竟然自己往上爬。我看了都不明白，到了魔术大揭秘的时候我才明白。原来魔术师的手里拿着一小节，慢慢的松开看起来戒指就像自己爬了一样。

今天我可真开心啊!

考试完了感觉整个人都自由了，因为暑假也来了，暑假两个月的时间太长了，所以我需要好好儿的计划以下未来的两个月内我要做些什么!

计划第一篇，学习。虽然是暑假，但是一样也有作业的，有一个成语说的好，“先苦后甜”我前几个礼拜，先把作业全做好了，这不就能安安心心地玩了吗?不用去想作业还没写完怎么办了。于是我就每天认认真真地写老师布置的作业。

计划第二篇，看书。我热爱看书，常常看到废寝忘食，在我看的同时，常把书中的好词佳句，或是情节写得详细的段落记录下来，并与应用。因此当我写完作业后，就会遨游在那片书海之中。

计划第三篇，运动。我会许多的体育项目，如：羽毛球、自行车、乒乓球等等。在有空的时候，我会和我的表弟或是身边的朋友一起运动，在温暖的阳光下去锻炼身体我觉得是一个很快乐的事情。

计划第四篇，帮做家务活。爸爸妈妈在我快期末考试的前几个礼拜，常常陪我复习到很晚，终于到了暑假了，一定要让他们好好地休息，所以我要帮爸爸妈妈做点家务活。再帮忙之前，我当然是得先吧自己的房间整理好，打扫好再帮忙。

计划第五篇，浇花。在暑假的时候，我自己种了一束花，由于这几个月比较炎热，所以我必须天天浇水，以免让它们干枯而死，有时候我会和小花讲讲话，会想：小花你快快长大吧!就这样小花一天一天地长起来了，在暑假的时候，我也不能忘记给它浇水了。

这就是我充实的暑假!你们呢?是不是也和我一样充实呢?

Last evening, we had a power cut at eight oclock.

At that moment, Mr.Zhang was watching an NBA match. Its really exciting!

But he missed the end, because of the power cut.

And there was also something terrible with Mrs. Zhang. She was

in the lift and couldnt get out. She was afraid of the dark and began to

shouting, but no one answered.

When the power cut, Judy, the daughter of Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang, was

sleeping. As a result, she didnt know about it.

Last evening Tom, Judys brother, was having a birthday party with his

classmates. They were lighting the candles when the power cut. But they thought

that it was a trick by one of them. So they felt more exciting and began to sing

and dance. Was a great wonderful party!

7月4日的早晨，我和妈妈还有我的朋友任禹城一起来到了游泳馆学习怎样游泳。

到了游泳馆，我们就和教练张老师一起换好衣服去学游泳。我们先和张老师做热身活动，做了热身活动才不会在游泳的时候腿抽筋。做完热身活动后。老师让我们带好游泳眼镜，“我们要准备下水了。”老师说道。下了水，张老师让我们练习漂浮、呼气等等其他动作。练了一会儿，老师让我们上岸来到躺椅旁边，我和任禹城趴在躺椅上练习收、翻、蹬夹。练习好了，张老师让我们下水拿着浮板练习。

快要下课了，我学会了蛙泳的踢水方法和换气，一个半小时的课程就这样结束了，我和妈妈恋恋不舍的离开了，下节课我要继续好好学习游泳，让张老师为我的进步感到惊讶!

今年暑假的时候，我回到家乡，与我的朋友杰仔一起度过了有意义的一天。

那天早晨，我一回到故乡，杰仔就闻风而至。只见他胖乎乎的身材，脸蛋圆溜溜，皮肤黑黝黝，像刚从泥潭里钻出来的小猪似的。杰仔边喘粗气边问我：“去不去菜地的水沟里摸鱼?”我满口答应了。

于是我们俩各提着小竹篮，兴高采烈地来到一条水沟旁边。杰仔告诉我，要在水沟的上游堆一个泥坝，不让水流到下游去。而且还要在下游堆一个泥坝，不让鱼溜走。我们马上分工，我在上游堆，杰仔在下游堆。

我好不容易才沿着水沟来到上游，只见水流卷起一个个旋涡，我有点害怕，但是并没有打消我捉鱼的兴趣。我下了水，用杰仔给我买的新铲子，把岸上的泥土铲到水沟里。可是泥土却一次又一次地被水冲走。

正当我灰心丧气的时候，杰仔忙过来帮我，他见状，眉开眼笑地对我说：“哈哈，看，连水也不帮你呀，让我来驯驯它，真是老虎不发威，就当我们是病猫了!”说完，他便在低洼处挖了起来。我晓得刚才他是在安慰我。我凑过来，只见杰仔一会挖这边，一会儿又挖那边。

我好奇地问道：“杰仔，你这是干什么?”他煞有介事地一边摆头一边吟道：“事情有了结果，你自然就知道了!”说完，他看着我大笑起来。不一会儿，一条水渠完工了。我恍然大悟，原来他是想把水引到低洼处。果然，水流哗哗地流了下来。我们高兴地拍着手掌，又蹦又跳。可是想起泥坝，我们又埋头干起来。终于，一个结实的泥坝堆好了。

我们开始把水沟的水舀走。虽然要站在水沟里，但是脚跟触到鱼儿在水里打转，十分有趣。当我们把水舀到只有脚跟高时，水里的鱼儿纷纷跃出水面，溅起的烂泥花射得我满脸都是。杰仔望望我，我也望望杰仔，大家不由得扮起鬼脸来。

我们把大的鱼儿一条条捉入篮子里，留下小鱼在这里继续生活。收拾一番后，我们把泥坝拆了，再把低洼处填平。

回到家，杰仔把所有的鱼送给了我，让我好好养活它们。

直到现在，这些鱼儿在我家的鱼缸里活得自由自在……

No sooner had the summer vacation begun than I returned to my native town.

Of course I must make good use of it; otherwise I would incur the displeasure of

my parents.

In the morning I reviewed my lessons and read newspapers or magazines. In

the afternoon I played ball games with my friends or went fishing in the river.

At night (In the night) I watched television with my family (the members of my

family). hardly had the clock on the wall struck ten when I went to bed.

今年，我迷上了电脑游戏。我最喜欢的游戏有植物大战僵尸、7K7K小游戏、4399游戏……

植物大战僵尸游戏里的角色有两派，一派是植物，一派是僵尸。植物方里有豌豆射手、玉米加农炮、机枪豌豆……僵尸方里有铁桶僵尸、橄榄球僵尸、僵王博士……

我最喜欢的是玉米加农炮，别看它发炮速度慢，但威力却很大。

电脑游戏虽然好玩，但不要太痴迷哦!

生日的意外

今天是太奶奶的生日，大家都忙得不亦乐乎!

忽然叶筱的奶奶惊慌失措地跑过来：“太奶奶被车撞了!”

大家连忙停下手中的活，一齐向马路跑去。大家一起把太奶奶送进了人民医院。

看着85岁的太奶奶送进了医院，我心里很难受。

好想去姑姑家

一到放假，我就很想去姑姑家玩。

姑姑家在信丰，离安远有七十多公里，她家住在六楼七楼的复式楼里，她家里的一切我都觉得很新奇，好盼望去姑姑家玩啊!

在她家里我最喜欢做的事就是浇花，阳台上种了三角梅、仙人掌、葡萄……

每天早晨，我都会跑上阳台，拿起长长的皮管，通上水之后，就可以开始浇了!水管里的水缓缓地流出来，但是只要捏紧皮管，水就会像箭一样射出来，太好玩了!

暑假的时候，我们一家去旅游，虽然已经过去很久了，但还是让我记忆犹新。

去了这个地方，我不知不觉地喜欢上了杜甫的《望岳》，相信你已经知道我们旅游的地方了吧，没错，就是泰山!

再去的时候，因为长垣到泰山并不近，要好几个小时，所以从小就爱晕车的我又犯病了，本来平静的车上又变的喧闹起来，爸爸的问候声，我的呻吟声以及妈妈拿药和倒水的声音在一时全都响起来，真可谓是“众妙毕备”啊!

过了一会，我们到了，我们先去宾馆睡了一觉，养好精力，准备明天的“大考验”!

因为抱着看日出的心理，所以我们早早的起了床，就往山上赶，虽然是4：50，但停车位的车已经多得不得了，我们把车停好，拿了几瓶矿泉水，就高高兴兴的往山上奔去，上山的时候，可不能单单的走上前，要先乘公交车，带到半山腰，然后就只能靠步行了，上山的时候，我像一直蹦跳的小山羊，一溜烟儿就没影了，而爸爸妈妈只有一项工作，那就是在后面照着我喊：“慢一点，慢一点。”

我们想去了一个庙，在那里，我们祭拜神灵，而且还烧了香，我特意买了一只香，上面写着：在新的一年学业有成。然后，我们又到了山顶，可真是会当凌绝顶，一览众山小啊!

终于放暑假了，我回了乡下爷爷奶奶家，开始了快乐的暑假生活。

早晨，灿烂的阳光洒下光辉，遍地皆是金子，鸟儿在枝头歌唱，花儿在风中舞蹈，一切都是那么可爱!假期里每一个风和日丽的早晨我都要出门去散步。

我家养了一条可爱的小狗，它的名字叫“聪聪”。它是我的朋友，我去哪儿，它都要跟着去。

走在乡间的小路上，四周皆是怡人的风景，空气中飘荡着醉人的花香。夏日的阳光照在我的身上，没有想象中的热烈，带给我的是一种说不出的温和。在这样暖洋洋的日光下，我闭上眼，张开双臂，和清风拥抱在一起。这时在草丛自娱自乐的聪聪突然跃起，一头扎进我的怀里，一个不慎，就和它一起倒在了草地上。我们在草地上嬉戏玩耍。田园间，回荡着我们的欢乐的笑声。

回到家，已经十一点了。爷爷还在地里干活，奶奶正在择菜，我便去洗锅，淘米，煮饭。我又用奶奶择好的菜和新的猪肉炒了一道家常菜，我已经不小了，已经学会为他们分担家务了。奶奶又炒了两盘菜。过了不多时，爷爷也回来了。饭桌上的家常菜香气四溢，很是诱人。爷爷奶奶握着筷子细细品尝了一番，直夸我“好孩子”。我心里高兴极了!

夏夜，凉风习习，繁星点点。每天晚上，我们都坐在院子里，摇着扇子，聊着天。我抬起头，欣赏这夺目的星空。我不禁感叹：夏夜的星星真美啊!夏夜星空真好看啊!我唱起了歌：“一闪一闪亮晶晶，漫天都是小星星……。”爷爷奶奶听着我的歌声，不仅摇头晃脑，还在一旁打着拍子。夜，和谐而美好!

这个暑假，我过得很开心!我希望以后的每个暑假，都能这么开心!

It was cooler than yesterday. One of my father’s friends invited me to eat red bayberries. You must know it is unusual. Because we will climb the hill to eat red bayberries. There is no chance to eat red bayberries in the hill for the people who don’t live in Beijing. On the hill, you can breathe the fresh air, you can listen birds singing and you can eat red bayberries. It was enjoyable. It is said there are wild pigs in the hill. What a beautiful natural.

January 22

Today I found time was a cruel thing. Whatever man is, time always goes on. It won’t stay to wait for somebody. You can’t use anything to exchange time. Time is also a fair thing. Although you have a lot of money or you enjoy high reputation, time won’t leave them more. Today I found I hadn’t enough time. Although I have 50-day holiday, but I found I had a lot of things to do. I had a lot of homework to do and I had something necessary to do.

January 23

I have rested for 10 days. In these days, I felt very bored. I didn’t know to do what. Although I had a lot of things to do, I felt uncomfortable. I was ill because of the cold weather. I was tired, sleepy and had no strength. My parents are worried about my health. in fact, it didn’t matter. I was always in the room with air-conditioner and opened it in a low temperature. So when I went out, the high temperature disagreed to me. Finally, I was ill.

初中英语日记（一）

there is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world. Without it, life will be empty and meaningless. If you wish to know how to get happiness, you must pay attention to the following two points.

First, health is the secret of happiness (the key to happiness). Only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life.

Secondly, happiness consists in contentment. A man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress.

初中英语日记（二）

As is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science and many other useful things. They increase our knowledge, broaden our minds and strengthen our character. In other words, they are our good teachers and wise friends. This is the reason why our parents always encourage us to read more books.

Reading is a good thing, but we must pay GREat attention to the choice of books. It is true that we can derive benefits from good books. However, bad books will do us more harm than good.

如众所周知，书籍教我们学习 人生，真理，科学以及其它许多有用的东西。它们增加我们的知识，扩大我们的心胸并加强我们的品格。换句话说，它们是我们的良师益友。这是为什么我们的父母终是鼓励我们要多读书的理由。

读书是一好事，但我们必须多加注意书的选择。不错，我们能从好书中获得益处。然而，坏书却对我们有害无益。

初中英语日记（三）

In my dream

Last night ,I dreamed I became a very beautiful brid.I dreamed that I was in a forest. In tht forest,there were a lot of animals.Then,an old bird told us,"we have a very beautiful forest,we should therefore protect it from pollution."All the animals agreed with him.

But the second day,people came into our forest.Many animals were caught.The people wanted to build house and parks in our forest.Many old trees were felled.And then suddenly,nothing was left standing.

I was so shocked and then I bursted out crying.I woke up at midnight.It was only a dream.

在梦中

昨晚我梦见我变成一只非常漂亮的鸟.我梦见我在一座森林,森林里有很多动物.然后有一只老鸟告诉我们,"我们有一座非常美丽的森林,

因此我们应该保护它,免受污染"所有的动物都赞成他.

但是第二天,人们进入我们的森林,许多动物被逮捕.这些人要在我们的森林地上建造房子和公园.许多年老的树木被砍下,然后,突然间,一切都被夷平了.

我很震惊,接着突然大哭起来.我在半夜醒来,原来只是个梦.

暑假，带给了我们许多的欢乐。时间真像个“小老鼠”，一溜烟，它就跑了，当然，暑假也不例外。转眼间，两个月过去了，一个新的学期到了，回忆暑假的生活，那可是有滋有味。有很多人认为，暑 假就应该去旅游，去那些漂亮的城市游玩，可在我的心里，有一个地方是再漂亮的城市也比不上的，那就是——我奶奶的家。

我奶奶家在一个平凡的乡村，没什么特别的，可是我每年暑假都去。你可能会问我：“这么一个平凡的乡村，你怎么每年都去呢?”那么，我可以很明确地告诉你：“因为那里有我挂念的星星，有我挂念的小溪，也有我挂念的小伙伴们……”，对于我来说，乡下一切的一切都是我所挂念的。在乡下，我最好的伙伴是小米，她留着一头短头发、结实的身体……她是一个女生。暑假，我们常常去小溪边，脱下鞋子，坐在大石头上，把脚伸进柔和而又温暖的溪水里，躺在石头上看天，那石头大得足够让五、六个人坐了。有时阳光很刺眼，于是就把手伸进水里去抓小鱼，可是后来抓着抓着又不知不觉 地玩起水来了，你泼我，我泼你，像是“泼水节”似的。玩够了之后，两人往回走，路上，你看我，我看你，互相看着对方很狼狈的样子，又不禁大笑一场。 Xiaomi She has a short hair and a strong body ... she is a girl. In the summer vacation, we often go to the stream, take off our shoes, sit on the big stone, stretch our feet into the soft and warm stream, lying on the stone to see the sky, the stone is enough to let five or six people sit on Essence Sometimes the sun is dazzling, so I put my hand into the water to grab the small fish, but then I grabbed the water and played it unconsciously. Essence After playing enough, the two went back. On the way, you see me, I look at you, watching each other is very embarrassed, and cant help laughing.

有时候就与伙伴们在一起制作“绿玫瑰”，其实这“绿玫瑰”是用绿叶做的，我也不知道是什么植物的叶子，只知道那叶子坚硬得很，必需用剪刀才能剪得断。大家争先恐后地抢着裁剪、折叠，不大一 会儿，绿叶从咱们手里来个华丽变身成了“绿玫瑰”，然后我们再把它们加工成“玫瑰戒指”、“玫瑰手环”……

晚上睡不着时，我和奶奶就去楼顶上睡，我把凉席铺在楼顶上，睡在上面，让微风拂过我的面庞，让璀灿的星空展现在我的面前，让闪烁的星星陪伴着我入梦……，难道我还睡不着吗?

总之，我暑假的生活多姿多彩，并且每个暑假都会有不同的体验和欢乐。

在这个暑假里，我过得既快乐又充实，除了按时完成暑假作业，每个周末，超市都会举办活动，比如：做蛋糕、赛车比赛、英语动画配音等，我都参加了。但我觉得这个暑假最快乐的时光的就是去乐园玩了。

那天早上，我早早地就起床了，准备好一切就去大酒店门口等候，人一到齐旅游大巴就出发了。这路可真长啊!我恨不得插上一对翅膀飞到那里。终于到了，“哇”大厅里人山人海，人声鼎沸。一进园内，几根柱子非常夺人眼球，近距离一看，柱内竟然有许多晶莹剔透的水母，围观的人啧啧称奇，我也跟着他们陶醉在这神奇的景象中。

乐园里有许多好玩的场所，如：魔法小火车、魔镜屋、碰碰车……但最刺激的要数XD虚拟过山车了。我们刚乘上“矿车”就看见一列火车正在轨道上急速行驶，眼看就要撞上了，全场一声尖叫，我的心也提到了嗓子眼，突然火车那出现了一个洞口，我们从那个洞里钻了过去。正想松口气，矿车又开到了悬崖边，全场又是一声尖叫，我的心也快要蹦出来了，这时矿车又突然往后退了，真是有惊无险。

还没等人缓过神来，突然前面又出现了一只大恐龙的化石，就在我们要穿过去的时候，它的嘴巴突然合上来，吓得胆小的小朋友哇哇大哭起来。我还没有踹过气来，一块巨大的石头从山坡上滚下来，全场尖叫声此起彼伏，这回我是闭上眼睛真不敢看了。当我真开眼睛时，车已经到站了。

时间过得真快，我们得回家了，我恋恋不舍的随着旅游大巴回来了。一路上，我还沉浸在那快乐的时光中。

Dream vacation finally arrived, when no holiday, I also look forward to during the day, night to night, finally gave to this beautiful holiday, the following is my vacation plan, let me to talk about it!

Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live we must

communicate with other people.

A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by

the simple means of speech.

If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are

likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news

or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of

society.

Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and

during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one

of the dominating factors of contemporary society.

Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications,

photography, radio and television.

Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of

communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news,

which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.

No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged

minority.

In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed

fortunate, but today there are public libraries.

Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people

sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into

millions of homes.

Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of

information.

The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society

and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and

entertainment.

The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with

informing, educating and entertaining.

Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is

very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the

vast modern network of communications is open to abuse.

However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no

turning back.

The computer is a very useful machine. It is the most important invention

in many years. People use it widely today in many ways.

Most computers have memories. People can store information in them and take

it out at any time. Computers are getting smaller and smaller, and working

faster and faster.

Computer can do many kinds of work. Now in many large factories there are

very few people. Computers do most of the work. They really help a lot.
