初二年级英语作文(精选20篇)

新学期的开始，每一位同学都会从新开始认识自己的老师，而我也不例外。

我的英语老师是一个又瘦又帅的人。他讲课时，会有几分钟的玩笑时间，所以我们班的每个同学都喜欢他的英语课，而他也不喜欢我们在他的课上表现出昏昏欲睡或者是整个班死气沉沉。如果那 样，他会很不高兴，从而不给我们讲课。

因从我们每一个人都不会这样做的，而且会紧绷着自己的神经，生怕会在他的课上犯困。但如果我们让他高兴了，他会很高兴上我们的课程，而且会给我们讲笑话，逗得我们哈哈大笑，使得课堂气 氛非常活跃。

而这就是我的英语老师。

Peer pressure means the influence given by a group of people around you,

such as, parents, friends, classmates, teachers and so on. Their influence will

affect your attitude, behavior, conception or decision. As every side has two

sides, this influence also has two sides. Let me explain my reasons.

For one thing, influence of peer pressure has positive effect. It depends

on the specific thing. Sometimes, the influence of pressure will promote me get

progress. For instance, my deskmate does well in one math exam, while I fall far

behind her. As we are deskmates, i can’t let others look down on me. So i will

take her as my good example to fight. And then next time, I can get a good mark

by my effort. Take my parents as another example, they like clean. They don’t

have the habit to throw rubbish at will. I won’t have this habit either living

with them.

For another, influence of peer pressure has negative effect. Sometimes the

influence will be bad. For example, if my friends ask me to skip class to watch

a basketball match with them, i go with them, even i don’t have that thought

before. And one of my friends has gone through a lot, he always try to convince

me that money is very important. As time passes, i may change my conception.

In summary, the influence of peer pressure has positive and negative sides.

We have to advocate the good side and avoid the negative. We have to be clear

about what is right and what is wrong and firm our position.

She is good . She gets up at 6:50. She goes to work early. She has funny english class. In the afternoon, we play together.

She loves us,we love her. We lover each other!

Mother’s love wins people’s praises for its selflessness. In fact, father’s love is as great as that. They bury their love in the deep bottom of their hearts and will never show it. My father is of this kind. I remembered once I felt ill. Mother wasn’t at home at that moment. Father acted as a father and as a mother as well. When he came home from work, he would cook dinner for me first. The way he fed me made me think of my kind and tender mother. His eyes were full of love and expectation. I did feel a father’s love at that time.

Money and the Meaning of Life Recently,a professor of philosophy in the

United States has written a book called Money and the Meanlng of Life. He has

discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning

than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to

keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend

their money, they can see what they really value in life. He says our relation

with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You

might have a wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very

good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some

money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger

than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesnt. This

person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in

the money world, there is something lereal about it.

People just have an idea of ma-ki-ng more and more money, but what is it

for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life7 In his book, the

professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea

that money is an instrument rather than the end. IMoney plays an important role

in the material world, but expecting money to give happinemay be missing the

meaning of life.

After the New Years Day，There is a holiday for our students.I get up very early this morning.

After my breakfast, I help my mom clean the house because Spring Festival was coming. Then I feel I am free for not go to school and see the teachers everyday.Dad say he would take me to the play field agter I finish the homework,I was very happy for that.So,I take the homewoek to my classmats home,I want to write together.

I think it is the happy day for me.How do you think?

Im a tall and lively boy. I like playing basketball very much because its interesting. I like NBA, too. There are many famous stars in it. Such as Alan, Iveson, Tim, Donken, Jordan, Kobe, ONeal and so on. Yao Ming is in the NBA, too. Hes Chinese. He plays basketball well. Hes a center forward. Hes our pride. All the ball stars can jump, shoot and pour in the basket. So each game of the NBA is wonderful. Sometimes the players can perform miracles, I think.

This years champion is Spur Team. It’s one of the strongest contenders.

I like NBA. I love basketball.

刚开学，我们班上就来了个新的英语老师——熊老师。

熊老师瘦瘦的，鼻子上还架着一副白色的眼镜，黝黑的长发上有一个发卡。

第一天，熊老师刚走进教室，闹哄哄的教室立刻安静了下来，大家都目不转睛地望向这位新的英语老师。刚开始，熊老师的声音很小，几乎第一排的同学都听不见，好在熊老师有扩音器。看来熊老师还 有点“胆小”。

熊老师对我们的要求很高，要我们每个人听得懂、读得来，考试要考好。另外，熊老师还在班上分了小组，让每个小组比赛，来培养兴趣。结果，大家通过比赛都提高了成绩，有了学习英语的兴趣，看 来熊老师真有办法，我们慢慢喜欢熊老师了。

熊老师，她真好！

We are looking for successful door will always encounter many difficulties. Difficulties, the things we most often encountered in life. It is easy to bow to them, but if we bow to him. It will fail.

Remember that time, my mother made a cake for me. Now that delicious still remained.

I cant help, I decided to make a give yourself to eat. I have eggs, milk and fruit... I couldnt find flour. I looking for west east, I saw a similar bag of flour on the table in the living room. I was overjoyed to get into the kitchen. I dont care what is this stuff will strike him into the bowl, put a little water mixing. Those "flour" unknowingly became more elastic. I rub a rub with the hand, the "flour" all become transparent. "Why is this? My cake in the right way? Im really stupid..." I quit, my in the mind at this moment "stick to it." The idea has been constantly emerge. I pick up the confidence to go to the supermarket to buy a bag of flour, after my efforts. Finally I put your delicious cake is ready. I cant wait to tastes. I do better than moms to eat.

Want to be successful in the face of difficulties, dont give up, fell stood up. Only raise your confidence, and perseverance. To enjoy the fruits of success.

我们寻找成功的大门中总会遇到许许多多的困难。困难，我们人生中最常遇到的事情。我们很容易向他们低头，但是如果我们向他低头。那么就会失败。

记得那一次，我的妈妈做了一个蛋糕给我。现在那美味还存留着。

我忍不住了，我下决心自己做一个给自己吃。我准备了鸡蛋、牛奶和水果……就是找不到面粉。我东找西找，只见有一袋类似面粉在客厅的桌子上。我喜出望外地拿进厨房。我不管这是什么东西就把他全倒进碗里，放一点水搅拌着。那些“面粉”不知不觉变得有弹性起来。我用手搓了搓，那“面粉”全变透明的了。“这是为什么?我的蛋糕做的方法不对吗?我真笨……”我不干了，我心里就在这时“坚持。”这个念头一直在不停的浮现。我拾起信心来，去超市买了一包面粉，经过我的努力。终于我把你美味的蛋糕做好了。我迫不及待地尝了一口。我做到比妈妈的更好吃。

想成功就要面对困难，不要放弃，摔倒了就站起来。只有扬起信心，坚持不懈。才能品尝到成功的果实。

第一章

迷迷糊糊中，床头的电子钟响了“嘀嘀嘀，嘀嘀嘀……”，见鬼!一定是坏了。小虎嘟哝着翻了个身继续他的梦中旅行。眼皮又重新发热了，啊，暖暖的鸭绒被，舒适的大枕头，酸溜溜的骨头。这简直是世界上最快乐的享受了。尽管小虎一边犯着迷糊一边吸着鼻涕，但这丝毫不影响他对梦乡的热爱与追求。

遗憾就遗憾在好花不常开，好景不常在。快乐的享受也不能持续。正当小虎准备全力以赴把这一快乐享受全面地透彻地升华之际，只觉得从头到脚掠过一阵寒风，小虎像是跌进了南极的冰洞里，于是加快了打喷嚏的频率来宣布他的不利处境。小虎不想快乐的梦中之旅被这个意外情况阻挠赶紧伸出手去支援身体在有限的范围内仔细搜索那条该死的不知怎么就突然失踪的被子的下落。

“啪!”地一声，小虎又好像来到了夏威夷群岛一屁股坐在了正在喷发的火山口上，接着屁股周围的感觉神经火速将这声音过后的滋味准确无误地通知了他，有些火热有些麻辣。

“哇!”眼看着美妙的好梦被搅没了，小虎一下子坐起来，怒气冲冲地嚷道：“谁敢打我屁股?”

“我……我敢打!呸、呸。”爸爸满嘴泡沫，咬着牙刷，瞪着惺忪的睡眼说他：“你看几点了，还不起床?”爸爸急得能活吃了牙刷。脸上每一条没舒展开的皱纹都能充分地证明小虎晚起床一秒钟就会大逆不道作奸犯科十恶不赦恩将仇报过河拆桥就会地位地下穷困潦倒永无出头之日永无翻身仗可打就会一辈子栽在这个懒觉上。

“老虎屁股摸不得。”小虎一生气一着急也顾不上什么礼节了，冲着老爸大嚷。“老虎”是他的绰号。

“我是老虎他爸!呸、呸……”爸爸也气得弄不清祖辈关系了竟说出了石破天惊的话，愣是将自己的户口与人类以外的四条腿走路的风马牛不相及的山大王搭上了关系，并且一鼓作气将嗓门提高到了极限结果白白吞了两口本来只作短暂停留的牙膏沫。其嗓门发出的怒吼分贝之高穿透力之狠可使两公里以内的聋哑人自动恢复听力震得三公里以内的蚊子统统完蛋吓得五公里以内的老鼠这辈子不敢大白天出洞。小虎不禁惊叹：姜还是老的辣。

“还卖什么傻?”爸爸出动武装力量援助他得声带，抽出右手玩命地在小虎的屁股上又亲热了那么一下子。爸爸最喜欢的一句话是“不想当将军的士兵不是好士兵”。爸爸天天在外面当足了小兵，一进家门就径直升了将军，所以他认为自己是个好兵，尽管小兵的身份和将军的身份每天都会换上好几遍爸爸还是喜欢在未当小兵之前狠狠地过一通将军瘾。小虎吐了一下舌头，赶紧以逃避龙卷风的速度套上衣服跳下床坐在写字台前整理书包。爸爸这才含着牙刷乐了，脸上任何一条皱纹都舒展得轻松自如有条不紊。那表情分明是看到儿子坐在总统宝座上处理国家机密文件。

“你们父子俩还在逗什么乐，也不看看几点了?小虎，快来洗脸刷牙。”妈妈用与爸爸不相上下势均力敌的分贝量在厨房里催促。小虎又以百米冲刺的速度跑进洗手间。

“好了。”小虎匆匆洗漱完毕正襟危坐在餐桌旁，饿得正慌。

“先喝一杯牛奶，对脑子有好处，有利于考重点高中，以后考大学。”妈妈笑容可掬春风满面地将牛奶递给小虎，接着又在他的盘子里加了两个煎鸡蛋。

“又是考大学。我才初中耶。” 小虎心里嘀咕着。挺好的食欲给说没了。小虎想诅咒发明高考的那个人，弄得他吃饭不香睡觉不甜小小年纪饱受折磨。昨晚要不是忙着做老师发的那么多简直能压死人的复习资料，他也不会早晨起迟了。

“快点吃呀。”爸爸坐在对面精神抖擞地催小虎，好像这顿饭过后儿子就被免试录取到北京大学了。小虎发现爸爸妈妈的眼睛炯炯有神。

一顿不吃白不吃，吃了也白吃的早餐。

早餐后小虎麻木地挤上那辆挤了千百回还是得挤的公共汽车踏上那条去了千百回还是得去的学校的路。

第一节是早自习。

小虎边从书包里掏出语文书边与同桌的她闲聊。她叫小萌，一个很文静很有气质的女孩。小虎不得不承认自己到学校来几乎有很大的原因是因为她。小虎将昨晚已背得滚瓜烂熟的电视报上的电视剧介绍添油加醋饶有兴趣地给她复述了一遍，还显示他已经看过好几遍的样子。其实昨晚他连电视广告都没捞着看。他们聊歌星聊电脑聊杂志聊体育聊一切课本上没有的东西。看她开心地笑，小虎更高兴了，这才像学生应该有的生活。

突然，班主任出现在教室门口，他使出浑身解数操纵脸部肌肉排列成让人一看就知道的那种在绝对零度以下才会有的表情，用“冷若冰霜”来形容简直是太损太赔太不划算了。班主任在将两个眉毛旋转180度后开始用舌头侵占口腔里的空间并吐出一系列关系到这些学生前途命运未来的词语，其用词之准确语言之简练效果之明显能量之巨大均让全班同学大惊失色瞠目结舌自惭形秽无地自容。班主任一脸的哲学一身的真理，典型的刽子手形象。

班主任这么一搅和全班立刻老实，于是朗朗读书之声不绝于耳，其中不乏透着假。班主任可不管这些，他的表情已经从绝对零度以下上升到一个标准大气压下水的沸点，看样子快开了。

见他迈着假模三刀的八字步从后门踱出去，小虎舒了一口气。刚才一通瞎念纯粹是比谁的嗓门大，小虎已经累得气喘吁吁了。这时，小萌用肘点了点他。“嗯?”“书拿倒啦。”“啊?呵呵……” “再过一个星期就要期终考试了。我想你们谁也不想一个假期过得不称心吧。所以……”班主任用再过一个星期地球就要爆炸了的神情告诉全班这次考试是如何如何地重要如何如何地划时代如何如何地里程碑，就差说他们考不好就直接影响他的工资奖金福利职称住房等等诸如此类只要影响了一丁点就像要他命一样可怕的东西。全班同学的表情加起来也没有班主任一个人的丰富。小虎只有听的份，没有抗议的权利。

“小虎，发什么傻?”班主任手一扬，一截粉笔准确无误地击中他的鼻尖，好痛。班主任还兼任炮兵连连长的职务。

“你是不是想拖全班后腿?一个人考不好也就算了，可你知道因为你一个人，全班同学每人要贴你多少分才行?”班主任的绝招是挑拨离间制造公愤。果然全班同学都虎视眈眈地盯着小虎，看得他心里直发虚。

考试的日子一天天临近。

晚上。餐桌旁。

“怎么，没胃口?”妈妈见小虎没动筷子忙问。

“不是。” 小虎这几天累得连饭也吃不下，成天地背成天地写，以至大口喝水冲谈了胃液导致食欲不振，拿笔拿酸了的手连握筷子的力气也没有了。小虎真想好好放松一下啊。

“挨老师批了?”爸爸实在想不出有什么更严重的事情能阻挡这顿丰盛的晚餐对儿子的诱惑。他对小虎学校的事挺敏感。

小虎摇头。将快要考试的事告诉他们，把又红又肿的像长着五根胡萝卜的右手SHOW给他们看。

听罢看罢，爸爸妈妈如释重负，接着神采飞扬。

“真是好孩子。太用功了，等考完试让你出去旅游，怎么样?”爸爸兴致来了，当即许下诺言。

“真的?太棒了!” 小虎兴奋地跳起来。他的目标是云梦山。他很早就想去那儿玩了，可惜一直没机会。

“看你的高兴劲儿，还是先吃饭吧。”妈妈趁机来了个附加条件。

“没问题。”小虎高兴得像个流鼻涕的小屁孩，规规矩矩地坐下拿起筷子。

“哎哟。”酸痛的手指一接触筷子立马叛变。小虎有气无力地龇牙咧嘴。

“妈妈来喂你。”妈妈拿起调羹笑眯眯的将小虎喜欢的炸牛排送进他的嘴里，小虎一边嚼一边想幸亏自己的手是写作业弄的，要是通过其他不正当途径诸如玩游戏机诸如打假弄得就是饿死也没有人心甘情愿地喂他东西吃了。小虎的感觉是妈妈不在喂他而是喂大学。 第二天早读未下，班上已有一大半的同学知道了小虎要去攀登云梦山的消息了。这条消息在如此沉闷如此干燥的考前教室里不啻是一支清凉剂。

“小虎，你真的要去云梦山?”一下课，同学们都赶集似的围坐到小虎的身边问道。

“那当然，我爸亲口答应我的。” 小虎喜形于色。其自豪骄傲之情不亚于告诉他们自己是从月球上刚下来的。

“啧啧，能到云梦山度假，美死了!”同窗们纷纷带着艳羡的神情，显然云梦山的名气对于在座的每人都具有巨大的吸引力。不只因为它的险秀奇峻，更因为那里刚刚被列为世界级的风景文化遗产。作为距离这个地方不足100公里的这里，谁能不为之欢欣鼓舞呢。但是云梦山对于攀登者来说还是危险的，所以大多数家长不愿孩子冒这个险，答应上哪儿玩都行，就是不许上云梦山。小虎可是他们班里第一个即将登上此山的幸运儿，在同学们的眼里，小虎简直成了英雄，甚至有许多同学要他多拍几张风景照带给他们一饱眼福。小虎满口答应胸脯拍得咚咚响。

一扭头，见小萌没有作声。

“你放假去哪儿玩?”小虎问她。

“还能去哪儿?在家呆着呗。”小萌好看的大眼睛盯着他，“你真幸福。听说云梦山有很多小猴子呢。”

“不会吧?你喜欢猴子?”小虎笑。

“干吗?凡是小动物，我都喜欢。不可以么?”小萌噘嘴。

“当然可以啦，可是，我也是小动物啊。我妈说我成天跑来跳去，跟小猴子似的……” 小虎故意说。

“你?讨厌!”小萌佯装生气，不理他了。

“呵呵，作为道歉，我多拍几张小猴子的照片送你，可以了吧?” 小虎赶紧说。

“那还差不多。”小萌咯咯笑起来，“你这个小猴子还是蛮聪明的嘛。” 考前的手忙脚乱。无聊的晚自习。荒唐的星期天。

期末考试的日子终于从天而降。

小虎带着满脑袋稀奇古怪的公式定理符号单词走进考场，像到电影院找座位一样对号入座，但其本质的区别在于前者叫享受，这个叫受罪。接下来是每人分到几张写满不知所云何物天方夜谭般的文字图形数码的纸。他们的任务是用墨水把这些纸涂满涂匀涂得老师心情舒畅涂得家长手舞足蹈涂得自己稀里糊涂。受罪开始…… 漫长的三天。

没有刀光剑影的战斗却能使人感到天昏地暗日月无光，总有地球末日的感觉。监考老师的表演更是精彩，时而来回溜达其左右摆头的频率堪称世界一流而且一有风吹草动就会神秘兮兮地跳起来，时而坐在讲台上佯装看报纸其实鬼都知道那报纸上准有一个小孔已备其窥探下面学生的不轨举动之需甚至报纸拿倒了还装得有模有样看得津津有味真让人怀疑监考老师有特异功能。

小虎没有作弊，很顺利地通过了考试。

The best way to help me through my emotional crises is to share my feelings

with a few good friends of mine. Through talking with them, I have a chance to

vent my feelings and find a proper way to solve my problem as well. Exchange of

ideas helps make a self-criticism; at the same time their advice not only is the

best consultation to me but also gives me many new ideas with which I may solve

many problems in many years to come. Talking with my friends when I am unhappy

usually calms me down and helps me a lot. So let me give you a piece of advice,

talk with your friends when you are in low spirits.

Someone says: are you a silkworm, spit of the continuous filament and die. Someone says: you are the candle, to the best of the last drop of tears to illuminate the dark night sky; Someone said, you are the morning dew, often before dawn, moistens the land silently all things... You, is my respected teacher, non-existent.

Non-existent with tall, round face, with two arch eyebrows on his forehead, under the arch eyebrows with a pair of bright and sharp eyes, she has a plausible mouth, a smile, mouth petal meniscus as quiet.

Non-existent at ordinary times is very strict with our requirements. Each lesson learned to write the book of copying, will ask us to write the word is very good, to write bad words will never let go, until it is written. Words because some students in our class wrote too fast and some bad, non-existent will let them change to come over, we all have greatly improved.

Non-existent also care about us. Remember once, I was a bit uncomfortable, go to the clinic under temperature, amount of 37.5 degrees, non-existent just said to me: "if uncomfortable, he said to the teacher, the teacher will and parents said." Non-existent for we really care about.

Teacher, I salute you! Is that you get ignorant we into the space of knowledge, sowing love with you that like the sound of a song! Like a candle, burn yourself, you give we lit the fire of hope, with your persistent enthusiasm to guide us to open our science maze! Thank you, teacher!

有人说：你是春蚕，吐不尽那绵绵的细丝至死方休!有人说：你是蜡烛，洒尽最后一滴泪去照亮漆黑的夜空;还有人说：你是朝露，常在黎明到来之前，默默地滋润着大地万物……你，就是我敬爱的老师——汤老师。

汤老师长着高高的个子，圆圆的脸蛋，额上长着两道柳眉，柳眉下嵌着一双明亮而又锐利的眼睛，她还有一张能说会道的嘴巴，一笑起来，嘴瓣儿像恬静的弯月。

汤老师平时对我们的要求很严格。每次学完课写《习字册》的时候，都会要求我们把字写得非常端正，对写的不好的字决不放过，直到写好为止。班里有几个同学的字因为写得太快而有些不好，汤老师就会让他们改过来，使我们都有很大的提高。

汤老师还很关心我们。记得有一次，我有点不舒服，去医务室量了下温度，37.5度，汤老师就跟我说：“如果不舒服，就跟老师说，老师就会和家长说的。”汤老师对我们真的非常关心。

老师，我向您致敬!是您把懵懂的我们领进知识的太空，用您那如歌的声音把爱播种!您像蜡烛一样燃烧了自己，给我们点燃希望的火种，用您那执著热情指引我们打开科学的迷宫!谢谢您，老师!

The traditional East Asian calendars divide a year into 24 solar terms (節氣). Lìchūn (pīnyīn) or Risshun (rōmaji) (Chinese and Japanese:立春; Korean: 입춘; Vietnamese: Lập xuân; literally: "start of spring") is the 1st solar term. It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 315° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 330°. It more often refers in particular to the day when the Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 315°. In the Gregorian calendar, it usually begins around February 4 and ends around February 18 (February 19 East Asia time).

Lichun signifies the beginning of spring in East Asian cultures. Chinese New Year is celebrated around this time. Farmers often celebrate the beginning of Lichun with special village events, worship and offerings to the gods and ceremonies for a blissful and prosperous new year. In China, people eat chūnbǐng (春餅) on this day.

In the lunisolar calendar, New Years Day might be before or after Lichun. A year without Lichun is called 無春年 (no spring year). 無春年 is also known as 寡婦年 (widow year) in northern China or 盲年 (blind year) in southern China. Marriage is believed to be unlucky in a year without Lichun.

In the Republic of China, Lichun has been Farmers Day since 1941.

传统的东亚日历将一年划分为24节气(節氣)。Lichūn(pīnyīn)或Risshun(rōmaji)(中国和日本:立春;韩国:입춘;越南:Lập宣,字面意思:“春天的开始”)是第一个节气。开始当太阳到达黄经315°,结束时达到330°的经度。更经常特别是指一天太阳黄经的正是315°。公历,一般在2月4日开始和结束在2月18日(2月19日东亚时间)。

立春在东亚文化中象征春天的开始。庆祝中国新年是在这个时候。农民经常庆祝立春为特殊村事件的开始,敬拜和祭神仪式幸福和繁荣的新年。在中国,人们吃chūnbǐng(春餅)在这一天。

阴阳历,元旦可能立春之前或之后。一年没有立春叫做無春年(无春年)。無春年也被称为寡婦年(寡妇年)在中国北方或盲年(盲年)在中国南部。婚姻被认为是不吉利的一年没有立春。

在中华民国,立春为自1941年以来农民的一天。

地球是我们的家园，我们应该保护地球。现在有的地区已经出现了泥石流、台风、森林火灾、小河污染、臭氧层破坏、空气污染……我们已经不断遭受来自大自然的惩罚。

The earth is our home, we should protect the earth. Now in some areas there have been landslides, typhoons, forest fire, river pollution, destruction of the ozone layer, air pollution...... We have to continue to suffer from the nature of the punishment.

我们怎样才能保护我们的家园呢?我们要多种树，不乱砍伐树木，不乱扔垃圾，讲究卫生，保持校园干净。多种花草，节约用水，保护动物，不破坏水源……我们还要说道做到。我们要让为来的生活变成水源丰富，绿树成荫，没有沙漠，没有天灾，海底物产多，草坪面积更大……让我们的环境变美、变净、变绿，环境更优美。

How can we protect our homeland? We should plant more trees, do not indiscriminate felling of trees, do not throw garbage, pay attention to health, to keep the campus clean. A variety of flowers and plants, water conservation, protection of animal, no damage to water...... Said we must do. We want to become rich in water resources, living trees, no desert, no disaster, marine products, lawn area larger...... Let us change the environment, change the net, greener, more beautiful environment.

保护环境，人人有责!只有我们每个人都奉献出自己的一点点环保，就能使明天的家园变得更加美丽。

Protect environment, everyones responsibility! Only when each of us to give a bit of environmental protection themselves, can make the home more beautiful tomorrow.

We couldn t believe that it was a village. The buildings for the farmers were very beautiful, the streets were very clean and there were many flowers in front of the houses. In the middle of the village there was a school with a wonderful building and a large playground. All the children in the village study there.

The farmers got richer by planting vegetables and raising silkworms. In their houses there were colour TV sets, fridges,washing machines, new furniture and even motorbikes. All these showed the farmers life was getting better and better.

The great changes had attracted foreigners. Today some of them would come to visit it. We were happy for the farmers. We hope the farmers will be richer and happier.

My Attitude towards Life

Life is an endless voyage, as theres no destination in our life. Life is also very fickle, since anything may happen in our life. We may be successful or defeated at any time.

Sometimes, I have the feeling that I was successful, but that happiest time has already passed away. Sometimes, I feel as if I went to the end of my life, but after a long tour, I find I have a long way to go. I always miss myself in this endless road and I feel very lonely. But in this loneliness, theres nothing to fear. So I have learned to grow up. I have learned to hold back my tears. I have learned to smile to others.

Im not defeated. However hard the situation is, I will never give up! However hard the situation is, I will never say I cant! However hard the situation is, I will never stop running! Never!

生活是一段漫长的旅程，因为我们的生活是没有目的地的。生活也很善变，因为在我们的生活中任何事情都有可能发生。我们随时都可能成功或失败。

有时候，我感觉我要成功了，但那快乐的时光却消逝了。有时，我觉得我已经到生命的尽头了，但经过长时间的旅行，我发现我还有很长的路要走。在这漫长的道路上，我总是想自己，觉得很孤独。但在这孤独中，没有什么好怕的。所以我已经学会了长大。我已经学会了忍住我的眼泪。我已经学会了对他人微笑。

我不会被打败的。不管处境有多么艰难，我都不会放弃!不管处境有多么艰难，我绝不会说我不行!不管处境多么困难，我永远不会停止奔跑!绝对不会!

第一、目标要明确、适当。因为每位同学的基础各异，接受新知识的能力不同，所以选择目标一定要切合自己的学习实际，要正确估计自己的知识和能力、估计能够自己支配的时间，了解自己学习上的缺欠和漏洞。目标既不能定得过高，也不能过低，“跳一跳就能摘到果子”，便是最佳目标。

第二、要合理安排常规学习时间和自由学习时间。常规学习时间主要是用来完成老师当天布置的学习任务，消化当天所学的新知识。自由学习时间是指完成老师布置的学习任务后归自己支配的时间，这一时间可用来预习、复习功课，查缺补漏和进行课外阅读、训练等。

第三、计划要全面，要符合素质教育的基本要求。中学生不能成天只讲读书，智育只是人追求全面发展的一个方面，除此，还有德、体、美、劳等。因此，在制定计划时还要安排锻炼身体的时间、娱乐的时间以及充足的睡眠时间等。

第四、要做到“长计划，短安排”。在一段较长时间内应当有个大致安排，每星期、每天干什么，也应有个具体计划，长远计划可以使具体计划有明确的实现目标;短安排，则可以使长计划的任务逐步落实。

第五、计划要留有余地，不要定得太死，太满，太紧，要留出机动时间，可作必要的补充和安排。

另外，需提醒同学们的是，学习计划不是制定给老师或家长看的，更不是用来装璜门面的，而是指导自己学习行为的准则。计划一旦制定，就要严格执行。计划执行一段时间后，一定要检查计划内的任务是否完成，没有完成计划的原因是什么……通过检查，立即采取相应措施，调整补充计划或排除干扰计划执行的因素等。

Water is very important for us. We must drink water everyday. We can’t live without water. Water is everywhere around us. At home, we use water to wash clothes, to wash dishes, to cook rice, to clean the flat, to have showers, to make drinks, to clean our teeth, to have a bath and so on. At work, people use water to put out fires, to grow vegetables, to make things in factories and so on. We also can swim in the sea. Water is important for us, isn’t it?

A poem:

Water has no taste at all.

Water has no color.

Water’s in the waterfall.

The pump.

The tap.

The well.

Water is everywhere around us.

Water is in the rain.

In the stream.

In the pond.

And in the river.

And in the sea again.

There isn’t much water on the earth. we must to save it. It is not inexhaustible.

It is very valuable.
