终于等到了考试的这一天,我的神经不停的抽搐着,不时的绷着,我留了一身冷汗,看着老师发着考卷,我吞了口口水,看着考卷传了下来,我颤抖着双手,拿着考卷,笔拿了起来,那枝笔似乎比平常来得要重,我用那只沉重的笔,开始了这场令人神经紧绷的考试。
每写完一大题,我的情绪就越紧张,因为那阅读的部分在我写完一大题,就会离我越近。危机逼近,我的皮随着也紧了起来。我在心里不断的念念有词:“要来啦!要来啦!它要来啦!”但是当我望向时钟,心里疑惑着:“怪了!过了这么久,考卷也即将要写完了,怎么还不见噩梦来袭呢?”
“叮─当─叮─咚”,洪亮的钟声刚好响起,我即时写完了!但是我的天敌却始终没有出现,难道说这次月考没有“阅读”这一大题?看来我真是白紧张了!不过,往好的方面想,这次的考试简单多了,也就是说,拿满分的机率很高。我放下了心中的大石,心想着:“这就是塞翁失马,焉知非福”吧!

全文共 3692 字
+ 加入清单Hello! My dear friends! First, let me introduce myself to you. My name is
Wu Dongxiang and my friend usually calls me Kina. Im a 20-year-old girl who
comes from Guilin Guangxi China. It’s known to all, Guilin is a beautiful city
in China. Have you ever been to Guilin? If the answer is no, don’t worry about
it. Please come on, I am very glad to be you guide .Welcome to our city!
In my college, I majored in Tourism and English. I want to be a tour guide
when I graduate from my college. Because Im a lovely girl and I like to travel
to different places. I have about ten courses to learn this term. What about
you?
I have a lot of hobbies. In my spare time, I often go sightseeing, play
badminton and go out running. Sometimes go shopping or stay at home. I also like
reading and planting flowers. Do you have the same hobby with me? If you want to
talk with me, please send me an E-mail. My E -mail: kinakl920@126.I m looking
forward to seeing you!
Hello, everyone! My name is ~~. I, a girl with short hair, is smart and
beautiful. What’s more, it is surfing the Internet that is my hobby. Besides, I
do well in my study, which, in teachers opinion, is what my classmates want to
do as well as me .On the other hand; I am not what I used to be, for I never did
sports in the past. But now, I like take exercise, which can make me healthy.
And my hobbies help me think about good things in my life .Seeing blue sky, I
feel it good to live on the earth! So, it is I who am a good girl in daily
life!
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Now, it’s my turn. My
name is Edgar, a high school student. I am much honored to be here to give you a
speech. Also its a good chance for me to improve my English. I hope I can make
a good performance today. The topic of my speech is "After studying here".
Before I came here, I can never imagine that I can learn so much knowledge
about other countries, which cant be got from my books in school. Three months
ago, I took my first class. Unfortunately, I felt so embarrassed, because I even
cant speak any words, though I know I really love English.
After that, I took some of my tutors advice and previewed the lesson that
I’ll learn. What’s more, in every class, I JUST try my best to say as much as
possible. Now, I can only remember it’s a really hard time. What’s worse, I had
to go to my high school and went there at the same time.
After several weeks, I began to get used to the atmosphere in web .At least
Im not afraid to speak in front of my tutor and foreign teachers.
During web’s period, I found I had improved a lot, both physically and
mentally. For example, how to be a confident person, how to plan for my future.
And the most important is that I have learnt how to communicate with others,
which is a necessary skill. Nowadays studying is not the only thing that we high
school students should do, there are some more important things we have
ignored.
First, I am grateful for my parents. They have spent so much money for me,
but never ask for anything in return. I really know how hard it is to work on
such living conditions.
Now it’s time to introduce my tutor sally. It was she that led me to the
right studying here. It was she that helped me deal with all kinds of annoying
things. Also there are some other teachers that I appreciate, especially Laura
and Anita. Of course, I like to take foreign teachers classes. Anyway, thanks
all of you!
I know I am young; there is a long way in my life. I have to face the
difficulties and solve them by myself. But I know I must keep on my dream, I
agree that If you put your mind to, you can accomplish anything.
I know I’m not the best ,but I’m the most diligent one,I hope you can
remember me, an ordinary boy.

How are you doing these days?
Aimed at providing a platform where students can have a chance to exchange and make use of their books, the annual campus book fair will soon be held in our school. The fair will attract a huge crowd from the entire school, who are to sell, purchase and exchange their second-hand books with their peers.
As a regular visitor, I’ve found myself increasingly attracted by the fair. For one thing, the fair exhibits books of hundreds of types on diverse topics, motivating us to further develop our reading habits and help to broaden our horizons. For another, most books are sold at a lower price than what the bookstores offer.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to host such a book fair better.
Yours,
Li Hua

I am delighted to know that you will be able to visit me for a week during
the National Day holiday. I am looking forward to your visit and to the
opportunity to catch up. Welcome to my home in Nanjing!
As you know, Nanjing has many places of interest to see, to discover, and
to enjoy. Among its historical sites are stone city wall, the Confucius Temple
with its magnificent night view, and Dr. Sun Yetsens Mausoleum. With all its
universities, Nanjing is a cultural center, offering an abundance of artistic
and musical performances. Its also a city of beautiful gardens and parks, such
as the Xuanwu Lake Park. With all these features, we will have a fun-filled
week, especially that in early-October, there are many sunny and mild days for
outdoor activities. So, I would suggest visiting these places first, and
deciding on the others as our week develops.
Finally, since at this time of the year the weather gets a little chilly in
the evening, I would suggest that you bring some warm clothing with you. Also,
as there will be crowds of people at the stations and on the trains, you need to
be very careful with your belongings!
Best wishes for a pleasant journey!

篇20:有关压力英语初一
全文共 1232 字
+ 加入清单Pressure seems to be a natural part in our daily life in this competitive
society. Like it or not there is always pressure of one kind or another. And it
seems there is hardly any way to avoid it or get rid of it. Moreover, as the
pace of modern life continues to quicken, pressure seems to be on the increase
all the time.
Different people have different ideas about pressure. Some hold that
pressure is something very vicious. If there is too much of it, it will lead to
the decline of ones physical and mental health. So they are always complaining
about it or trying to flee from it. They think, only relaxation, the opposite of
pressure, is what we should desire. On the other hand, others argue that
pressure is not as bad as is often thought. In fact a certain amount of pressure
is essential to provide motivation and meaning to our life. It is pressure that
propels our progress and contributes to our success.
Personally, Im in favor of the latter idea. I believe that a little
pressure is certainly an important incentive in life. It is only when the
pressure gets out of control can it lead to poor performance and bad health.
Since it is impossible to avoid pressure, certainly there is no sense trying to
do so or complaining about it.
