I dont think our school life is colorful. Because weve got so many classes every day. I wonder whether we can change our school life someday. You see, from Monday to Friday, I have to stay at school. the only relaxation is to listen to the radio or play ball games. At weekends, we need to go to school to have classes, too. I know its very important for us to study well now. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. "I want to step into the nature. I hope we will have more activities such as visiting museums, taking part in different kinds of contests, attending some lectures and so on. Is it only a dream?

Before I entered the middle school, I felt so worried about the life in

middle school, because my cousin told me that I would have to compete with so

many excellent students. Now I get used to the life, I learn many subjects from

Monday to Friday. Though I always meet the difficulties in learning the new

knowledge, I get help from my teachers and classmates. I am not afraid of the

middle school life again, I am so excited to learn new things every day. In the

future days, I will meet many challenges, I believe I can get over them. Life in

middle school has happiness and sorrow, they fulfill my life.

In China, the subjects that students learnt are necessary. They can learn special classes when they enter university. Sometimes I think it will be perfect to have the special class in middle school. On the one hand, students can learn more things besides the necessary subjects. They can develop more practical skills. On the other hand, students can cultivate their interest by learning something different. Though it is a little hard to open special classes, because education pays attention to scores, I believe that someday more special classes will be open, as the class reform calls on people to pay attention to the development of student mind.

在中国，学生所学习的科目都是有必要的。当他们进入大学以后，他们可以学习特色课程。有时我觉得在初中开设特色课程是非常好的。一方面，学生除了必要科目之外还可以学到更多的东西。可以发展更多实用技巧。另一方面，学生可以培养他们的兴趣，学习不同的东西。虽然因为教育注重分数导致开设特色课程有一定难度，但我相信总有一天将会开设更多的特色课程，因为教育改革呼吁人们关注学生的思维发展。

The teacher set up the summer homework. Good guy, that damned language

teacher actually call us to the 4th grade the old poem famous quote to copy 8

times! By this time, the roof of the classroom was "overturned". The students

were Shouting at each other. I myself comfort myself: nothing, dont copy 8

times, the big deal I make quick, still do not change plan.

Another day after that, my classmate xiao sheng called me to study

taekwondo with her. After the family discussed, I decided to let me go to

school. Then the cousin called again and said, "hello, yueyue, stay for a few

days during the summer vacation! I will teach you to draw pictures, by the way!"

"Really? Thats great! I must come!" By this time, I had forgotten to plan and

threw it out of the clouds.

When I look at the schedule, I have found that I am completely filled with

the schedule and time is not enough. How to do? Only a little bit of time... But

in comparison, none of them are free. That how to do? Can only be changed. What

better? Well, I only had a three-hour nap to learn taekwondo... That way, my

summer vacation will be "ample". What a bad summer!

[初中这就是我英语作文

我已跨出了初中的校门，区区一步而已，我却感到似乎生命从此开始漂泊。 无论承认与否，我们都在飘泊，生命在各自飘泊的旅程中或灿烂，或寂灭，而生命的意义，尽在飘泊。

没有人敢妄下断言生命的本质是什么，但对生命的意义的思考，由古至今却从未间断过。而这种思考本身就是思想的流动与传接，一种人类智慧的飘泊，如果停下，将意味着什么？

每一个生命都是一个孤独的个体，寂寞地在世上行走，默默地解读自己、解读有关自己生命的一切，可肉体是灵魂最大的羁伴，生命总在彼此的不和谐中感受着双重痛苦，并且这种痛苦无人能懂，所以，注定飘泊。只有在飘泊中，才能减轻生命的痛楚，只在飘泊中，才能让生命的意义完整，只有在飘泊中，才能将自己融入岁月的河。只是这种飘泊莫非心有七窍恐难感知，多数都在麻木与清醒的边缘莫名的飘泊。

大凡真正的智者都是孤独的、都是寂寞的，因为他们看破一切，快乐的飘泊。他们或是驱使着自己的肉体穿梭于灵山圣水，天地做伴，鼓喉而歌；或是使一柄利剑辟开混沌，开出一处精神的荒原让灵魂自由的流浪，感受快乐。

而颠扑在红尘中的愚人们呢？看不透世事的眼睛蒙蔽了他们的心灵，永远都不满足的感觉让他们学会了抱怨、学会了放纵的生活，同是生命、同在飘泊，可他们的飘泊却是无奈的、是痛苦的，因为他们在意的事情太多，上路的时候不知抛弃，于是负累更多。

三毛告诉别人不要问她从哪里来，她的一生在飘泊，可荷西之死却使她背上了一个沉重的十字架，她人生的包袱再也不轻松了，沉重的负累折磨得她遍体鳞伤，最终，一根柔韧的丝袜轻轻承载起了一个本来有灵性、有慧根、应该继续飘泊的生命。

古人李白却是挟人生风雨仰天大笑出门而去的，浪漫多才，却又狂放不羁，惊朝野、怒天子，醉倒贵妃酒里，纵情山色之中，不以物喜，不以已悲，他是真正快乐的飘泊者。天高云淡，碧水长风，他的灵魂笑傲过的地方，处处馨香。

一位诗人说他有十二个不愿意，“我不愿意哭，尤其为自己而哭。我不愿意累，尤其为生命而累。我不愿意虚伪，尤其是不必要的虚伪。我不愿意迷失，尤其是跟踪别人而迷失。我不愿意使诈，尤其是对小孩使诈。我不愿意做梦，尤其是美梦。我不愿意沉默，尤其是受委屈的时候。我不愿意吟诗，尤其是别人的诗。我不愿意贫穷，尤其是中年以后的贫穷。我不愿意做下人，尤其是下人的下人。我不愿意扮小丑，尤其是出色的小丑。我不愿意步人后尘，尤其是偶像的后尘。”，他真是个快乐的飘泊者。

人一生下来注定是流浪者，在生命中流浪，在死亡中解脱，心也飘泊，梦也飘泊，迷茫中在飘泊，清醒时也在飘泊。只愿每个有智慧的生命都在有限的旅程中，像那位诗人一样，做一个快乐的飘泊者。

When I come to the middle school, I feel so excited, because I want to

learn more knowledge and prepare for my future. Some of my friends are afraid of

the coming challenges, they think they can’t handle, but for me, life will be

wonderful with all kinds of challenges. It is the challenges that makes me

stronger. If everything comes to me without hard working, then I won’t cherish

it. I am so eager to meet the coming difficulties, I won’t give up no matter how

hard they will be. Some day when I look back on these days, I will not be

regretful of what I have done.

Water is very important to us. If you don’t have water for three days, you

will die. We can use water for flowers, swimming, washing and many different

things. We use it to cook, make electricity, put out fires and so on. We use

millions of liters of water every day.

Do you know how does the water come to your home? It travels through water

pipes. Some are long and wide but some are short and narrow. Then the water

travels through the water pipes to the reservoirs. Then it travels through the

water pipes to the river and to the special factories (we call water plants)

that purify the water. When the water is purified, we can drink it. Please don’t

leave garbage in the water on which we line, and keep the water clean.

"Enough! Enough!"I said when Father and Mother were still giving me more fish ad meat. My bowl was piled up like a little hill.

"Dont study too late into the night. Do be careful of your health. Have you had any examinations recently?"Father asked me in great concern.

My face turned red. I didnt dare to give Father an answer. I hadnt made any progress in my studies. I did badly in all subjects. I only got 60 for maths and failed in physics.

"It doesnt matter. Try to find better study methods and to work harder. I am sure you can enter a college!"Hearing these words, I bent my head down. What a kind father! He didnt scold me, but encouraged me instead.

"Have you used up the money I gave you last night?"With these words, Father was taking his wallet out."Mother has just given me 10 yuan.""Buy something to eat when you are hungry."Father passed me another ten-yuan note.

Should I accept it? Father and Mother love me deeply. Why couldnt I get god marks in exams? Tears came into my eyes.

"Dont cry. Now I will take you to the bus stop."As usual, Father carried that heavy bag and went to his dirty old bike.

[我的家人初中英语作文

The most successful person may not be the smartest ones.According to a survey conducted among a group of people who were in the same university ten years ago , those whose grade-point average was in the middle fifty percent , all become rich or managers of different fields , while not a single young man of the upper ten percent becomes an executive or boss.

Why the smartest kids in the classwill not end up the richest? Why those who are not excellent in studies tend to be managers or own their own enterprise in their later life? And what factors lead to success in career and life if brains are not the only answer? According to my observation , academic brightness is only part of the story , the other factors are very important.

One ingredient , among other things , is good interpersonal skills. There is stong evidence that friendship can help to tide you over a period of difficulty. With a wide circle of friends who can be trusted yo provide

information and resources, your chances of success are much higher. On the contrary , if you are competent in profession , but have difficulty in getting along with your colleagues and even your boss, you can hardly survive the corporation.

Another component is the ability to express oneself . In today s world , what really counts is the ability to express oneself rather than technical competence or professional knowledge . The larger the orgnization of which you are an employee , and th fiercer the competition , the more important it will be that you know how to convey your thoughts and convince others of your ideas.

Personality is also an important factor. Whatever difficulty or situation , those who appear relaxed and confident are nearer to success. Obviously , among the ingredients for success , intelligence counts for the half , the rest depends on your personality , and other abilities.

最成功的人可能不是最聪明的人。据一项调查中,一群人在同一个大学十年前,那些中间的百分之五十,平均分数都变得富有或经理不同的领域,而没有一个年轻人的百分之十成为高管或老板。

为什么最聪明的孩子最终不是最富有的?为什么那些不优秀的研究往往是经理或者拥有自己的企业,他们未来的生活吗?和什么因素导致成功的职业生涯和生活如果大脑并不是唯一答案?根据我的观察,学术亮度只是故事的一部分,其他因素是非常重要的。

一个成分,除此之外,就是良好的人际关系技巧。斯通有证据表明,友谊可以帮助你渡过难关一个困难的时期。大圈的朋友可以信任你

信息和资源,你成功的机会更高。相反,如果你是胜任的职业,但在与你的同事相处有困难,甚至你的老板,你很难生存。

另一个组件是表达自己的能力。在当今世界,真正重要的是表达自己的能力而不是技术能力或专业知识。组织越大,你是一个雇员,th更激烈的竞争,更重要的是它将会让你知道如何表达你的想法和说服别人的你的想法。

性格也是一个重要因素。不管困难情况下,显得放松和自信的人接近成功。显然,成功的要素之一,智能计数的一半,其余的取决于你的个性,和其他能力。

Today, we talk about mobile phones, and as mobile phones are growing, more and more people are using mobile phones, which brings us a lot of convenience. There are also countless people who are addicted to mobile phones, especially small-school students, and i dont really object to mobile phones, and mobile phones are a good relaxation tool. I dont think its bad to play a mobile phone, but the middle school students are self-control, and they cant control the length of time they spend on their phones. So im addicted to cell phones, so i suggest relaxing a mobile phone, but it requires parental supervision, proper play, and not obsolete. You can relax your emotions, so i suggest that every day you can come back to play for an hour a day and relax and dont be too old to play. Relaxing, relaxing, relaxing relaxation

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.
