高三关于清明节的英语作文通用20篇

今晚有约。主要是参加新世纪职业学校培训抽查。陪同主管部门领导巡查教学状况。刚从外面回家。打开电脑，进入向陽同学的空间，就读到了这篇新作《清明扫墓有感》，细细读后，从中得到很多心灵的启迪。

说句心里话，我的朋友不多。应验了一句话，叫做“相识满天下，知己有几人?”一向把向陽作为心灵相通的儿时好友，是因为和向陽从小就在一齐，喜欢文学。上学的路上，就一齐背诵唐诗宋词去上学。虽然长大以后，各自东西，工作岗位不一样，但是，心底一向存有那份纯真的情愫。清明小长假这几天，一向没有向陽的信息，心里也有一些牵挂和思念，也想拿起电话联系，思考到向陽工作的特殊性，我没有个性的事情，一般从来不主动去打扰。于是清明这几天，几次也进入向陽的空间看看，直到今晚此时，果然如我所愿，明白向陽同学专程去拜祭奶奶和父母。心里一热。真是性情中人啊!有句话叫做：男儿有泪不轻弹。清明时节雨纷纷，向陽同学对自己亲人的那份怀念之情，尽在字里行间显现。当我读到“直到我恩重如山的奶奶和父母相继去世以后，每年的清明扫墓由春游的潇洒走一回，变为沉痛的一跪一拜了。当香烛袅袅燃起，双膝跪在墓前，上辈的音容与行止，风貌与性格乃至只言片语齐涌来眼前，便有那儿行千里仍萦回母怀的温馨犹在，衔看母乳泪入心中的香甜仍存。”感觉这份真情，更是男儿的陽刚之气的来源，为人处世的根本。

至今我还记得，向陽同学一篇《珍藏在心灵的回忆》让我读后潸然泪下。原以为我很了解向陽同学的，没有想到向陽也有那么苦涩的童年。奶奶那瘦小的形象在我心里霎时那么高大。向陽同学的真诚，勤奋，我想就应是一种与生俱来的遗传，还有奶奶那无声的传教。今晚，我读到向陽同学“慈鸟失其母，夜夜吐哀声”的鸟未反哺的愧疚情绪，忍不住泪流满面。”不禁眼睛也有些潮湿。

哲人说：文字的力量能叩响人的心灵。这个清明时节，我本想写写自己的心灵感受，读了善业老师的“清明感怀”、牧歌老师的“开满梨花的思念”，湄澜游子的“清明雨”;今晚，我又读到向陽同学的“清明扫墓有感”。我感觉到。我最好的几位心灵相通的挚友，把我心里想说的话都说完了，我如果再写，真是班门弄斧，写不出新意。前面静雅的精彩点评，我十分认同。谢谢向陽同学!这些感人肺腑的文字，让我的心灵在今年的清明节，得到了一次最好的洗礼!

What is art? When people think about this question, they will naturally

think about all kinds of musical instruments or the great paintings in the art

museums. Art seems to so far away from the ordinary people, but I don’t think

so. Art is everywhere. For example, the delicious food that is made by our

parents is the great art, and the value of the food is to bring people the great

joy when they have a taste of it. The scenery around us is the visible art, when

we appreciate it, our mood become eased. Art is something that brings people the

positive value for me, so art is around everybody. If we take time to slow down

our pace, then we can enjoy art from life and feel the comfortable

lifestyle.

My father used to be a heavy somker.He smoked more than 20 cigarets each

day;therefore,he was the polluter wherever he went.My mother and I tried to

persuade him to give it up.He gave it up many times but each time only for a few

days or only for a few hours.

Once he declared that he would stop smoking right away under the pressure

of my mother,and he threw his cigarets into the dustbin.The effect of his

declaration lasted only for two days.Then I found him smoking again when he

thought that he was alone and no one saw him.On the fifth day of his

declaration,he smoked openly.

Last winter he got pneumonia.When he was well again,the doctor ordered him

to give up smoking.To our delight,this time he really got rid of the habit.It

seems that the doctors order is more effective than mothers scolding,my

suggestion and his own declaration.

The environmental pollution is worse and worse today. Many trees are cut

down, and water and air are polluted. As a student I try to have a low-carbon

life to save energy and reduce pollution.Firstly, I often walk to school. It can

reduce air pollution. Secondly, I always turn off the lights and fans when

leaving the classroom.

Thirdly, I always make full use of paper and other school things and never

waste water.

I wish more students to join me and make the earth more and more

beautiful.

"Qingming Festival have rain, pedestrians deep sorrow". Once a year the festival has come, now I say Qingming sweep the tombs of the thing.

我和妈妈、还有姑姑和姑父在中午吃了点饭，开车来到爷爷墓地的山下。路过香烛店，买了些纸钱和香。我们开始爬山了。开始的山路很好走，后来路越来越难走，我看了看下面，啊!这座山可真高啊!要是一旦掉下去，就会“粉身碎骨”了。真是步步惊心啊!终于到了爷爷的墓地，这个墓可真大啊!后面长着许多特意种的草和花，我说：“这是不是爷爷的头发啊?”大人们都笑起来了，妈妈尴尬地说：“快点过来，这么不懂事!”然后我就跪拜爷爷，心里默默地念着：“祝爷爷在天堂好好的。”然后爸爸给了爷爷旁边的邻居一点纸钱，烧了。我问爸爸为什么，爸爸笑笑说：“当然要给邻居一点钱呀。”然后爸爸给爷爷烧钱，烧完钱，我们就开始吃青团，我吃完青团，又吃了两个草莓，喝了一瓶王老吉就下山去了。

为什么写到微光，和写到脉博一样

在土地上，你或者你们的理想

以什么名义存在，在诗歌中一再呼之欲出

又吞吞吐吐

扶不好我的坐姿——你这无用

而无情的参照

恨起祈祷人的黑纱，破坏的队形

使人明白绝别是严酷的经历

谁在角落里忍着咳嗽，爱护着平淡的空气

但转瞬又好了，天地无言

像失忆的人不爱提迷惘

只有微光了。对峙，折煞繁华

在生者面前，压碎的真实产生了多少幻像

每个名字都是死了一回的故乡

而石板上始终是一个人

端坐着，看烟散

谁在心里伸出手抚逝者的脸

谁偷了风，抚逝者的脸

就像世界是个大人，摁一下小小的苍生

就像小小的照片锁进扣儿里

多么紧实啊，几十年的滋味不再翻身

大地不再醒来

The people I respect the most is my father. He is a doctor. He always busy

with work. Since I can remember, he never spent a whole weekend to stay with me.

He goes to the hospital very early before I get up, and comes back home after I

sleep. But I doesn’t matter at all, he is hero to me. He devotes almost all the

time to his patients, many lives are saved. He always said, a man should have

dignity, integrity, honor, and most of all, be helpful to others. This affected

me deeply, so I work hard so that someday I could be the man like my father.

I often quarrel with my mother over whether I can watch TV after school. My mother holds the view that students in senior three, shouldering heavy loads, are too busy to spare any time to watch TV. It seems to her that＇ once I am allowed to do that I＇ll not be able to control myself and forget all about my study. She also thinks that it is bad for my eyes to watch TV too often. But I really can＇t accept her ideas. I think it a relaxation to watch TV after a day＇s hard work. Watching TV can not only relax me, but broaden my horizons. Now we＇ve at last reached an agreement that I can only watch TV at weekends, and the programs should be limited to news,programs of entertainment, sports or science.

[高三英语作文万能句

蒙山脚下，沂水河畔，

苍松翠柏掩映的烈士陵园，

一个时代数以万计的先烈，

骨殖与魂灵安卧其间。

为了理想，

为了驱除铁镣与锁链，

浴血于民族独立解放的道路上，

牺牲在黎明与黑暗搏斗之间。

赵、王麓水、何万祥，

罗炳辉、张元寿、刘炎，

从115师的老八路、新四军到游击大王，

从著名的渊子崖、孟良崮到大青山。

还有那抗日女英雄陈若克，

带着未满月女儿囚监狱;

女才子弃笔从戎有辛锐，

与革命伴侣一同鲜血溅山峦。

亦不能忘记人民力量，

多少个、多少次的毁家纾难，

那质朴的红嫂、乳汁、煎饼、独轮车，

对中国革命倾力的付出与奉献。

无数个正义的名字，

千百次“反绞杀”与征战，

凝聚起势不可挡的力量，

为梦中的新中国“呐喊”。

无怪乎功勋卓著的“常胜将军”粟裕，

了却了生前的殷殷心愿。

风儿起时的松涛阵阵，

这是伟大复兴中国梦的编织，

这是中华儿女共有的精神家园。

书面表达评分标准“最高档”要求:“应用了较多的语法结构或词汇;语法结构或词汇方面有少许错误,但为尽力使用较复杂结构或较高级词汇所致;有效地使用了语句间连接成分,使全文结构紧凑。”从历年书面表达高分文章来看,每篇文章都有“亮”点,即在用词、造句或段落安排上都有独到之处。要想获得高分就应在“正确”表达的基础上写出自己的特色,写出自己的“亮”点。

一、词汇选择——标新立异

在写作中“较高级词汇”的使用主要是指使用《大纲》上没有的词语、使用通过构词法变化来的新词、使用同(近)义词或反义词等来代替常见词语。

1)这栋房子在芳草街的一栋楼上。

A: The flat is in a building on Fangcao Street.

B: The flat situates in a building on Fangcao Street.

分析:is in是常见词语,而situates in则是《大纲》上没有的,属于高级词汇。

2)在周末我们做很多作业。

A: At weekends, we have a lot of homework to do.

B: At weekends, we have endless homework to do.

分析:B句在表达时没有使用过于直接的a lot of,而是使用了endless。endless就是由《大纲》词汇end加后缀-less变化来的。

3)洗澡间和厨房都很好。

A: The bathroom and the kitchen are good.

B. The bathroom and the kitchen are well-furnished.

在表达要点时,B句使用了well furnished,这比good语气强,也显得生动。

在造句时,“较高级词汇”如能运用贴切自然,哪怕整篇文章只用上一个,也会使你的作文显示出与众不同。

二、结构造句——与众不同

在造句时,既要使句子生动,又要使其简明扼要。

1、使用与人不同的表达方式,特别是提倡打破汉语句子结构的束缚而重组的句子更受欢迎。

1)唐山曾在二十世纪八十年代发生过一次大地震。

A: There was a strong earthquake in Tangshan in the 1980s.

B: A terrible earthquake hit/struck Tangshan in the 1980s.

大多数同学使用了there be结构,这是对的,但是B句却摒弃了常见句式。另辟蹊径而使用了“主语+谓语+宾语”结构,且使用了terrible,hit/strike这样的词汇,更是难

可贵的。

2)你八月十五日的来信我今天早晨收到了。

A:I received your letter which was written on August 15th this morning.(多数人使用的方式)

B: Your letter of August 15th reached/ got to me this morning.(与多数人使用的方式不同,简洁)

2.使用一些强势句式,如强调句、感叹句、倒装句等,增强语句的表现力。如:

3)阿福救了我妹妹。

A: Ah Fu saved my sister.(一般句式)

B: It was Ah Fu that saved my sister.(强调句式)

4)我们看到庄稼和蔬菜长势喜人很是高兴。

A: We were glad to see crops and vegetables growing well.(一般陈述句)

B: How glad we were to see crops and vegetables growing well.(感叹句)

3、句式多样,复杂得体。在写作中应避免使用相同长度的相同句型,而应注意句式的变化,如长短句结合,简单句、并列句与复合句共用,还可使用简化句等;一些较复杂的结构如独立主格,分词结构等也可使用。下面的表达中A句简单句多,而且多处使用there be结构,显得单调、乏味,而B句就有自己的特色(请同学们自己分析)。

5)这是一套25平方米的住房,住房里面有卧室、有洗澡间、有厨房;卧室里有床、沙发、桌子和椅子等。

A: Its a flat of 25 square metres. There is a bedroom in the flat. There is a bathroom and a kitchen in it, too. In the bedroom, there is a bed; there is a sofa, a desk and a chair as well.

B: Its a flat of 25 square metres, with a bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchen. In the bedroom there is a bed, a sofa, a desk and a chair.

三、布局谋篇——独具匠心

在写作中,我们可按时间、空间或其它逻辑顺序来安排各要点,同时为使主题突出,结构严谨,我们应注意学习和使用交代句以及段落的主题句等。在布局谋篇上,2002高考范文堪称典范。请看:

Opinions are pided on the question.

60% of the students are against the idea of entrance fees. They believe a public park should be free of charge. People need a place where they can rest and enjoy themselves. Charging entrance fees will no doubt keep some people away. What is more, it will become necessary to build gates and walls, which will do harm to the appearance of a city.

On the other hand, 40% think that fees should be charged because you need money to pay gardens and other workers, and to buy plants and young trees. They suggested, however, fees should be charged low.

1)该文使用Opinions are pided...作交代句,开门见山,随后两个段落均使用了主题句，使全文结构紧凑,表达严谨。

2)在表述要点时范文还对要点出场顺序作了调整,如“40%的同学认为应收门票,但不宜过高。”前部分作为主题句放在句首,而后部分另起一句放在句末:They suggested, however, fees should be charged low.这样就分清了轻重缓急,主题突出,条理清楚。

3)范文使用了and, what is more, however等连词,在段落之间使用了on the other hand(说明前后两个观点是相悖的),这些连接手段的运用加强了句子之间、段落之间的联系,使文章表达连贯,浑然一体。

4)范文在第二段为说明不收门票的“原因”时增加了Charging entrance fees will no doubt keep some people away.等细节,这也是解决句与句之间缺少连贯性的常见方法。

总之,要想使自己的文章有亮点,吸引读者,在考试中获得高分,就应在用词、造句、谋篇上下功夫,哪怕是有一处特长都是“亮”点,都是值得肯定的。

Nowadays, house husband has become a hot phenomenon in modern society. As

we all know that no matter what country, it’s a tradition that men play a core

role in family who always take the burden to earn money to support their family.

But things are kind of different as society develops, more and more men are

beginning to take over housework while women go out from house. In my point of

view, I think this is not a big deal.

In the first place, house husband may be a shame title for men, but when it

comes to money, there is no room for reputation. As society develops, the life

standard are rising, and everything for living is much expensive than before, if

couples want to guarantee their life quality, then they should let the one who

earn better to work, although the one is female.

In the second place, it’s fine for women to support family as long as they

earn better than men. In the past, women always were treated very badly, and

they got no rights to be educated, to work. In some countries, they can’t even

show their face to others. A traditional female role is to stay at home, taking

care of children and do all of the housework. But now, lots of women have a good

job, so that they totally have the ability to be the economic backbone.

Therefore, in order to take good care of family, men are likely to stay at home

to do housework. I don’t think it’s a shame for men, because no matter what you

do, as long as you do it well, you are successful.

To sum up, people should change their opinion about core role of a family.

It’s acceptable for women to support the family, and there is no shame for men

to do the housework. As long as you remember life quality comes first.

Chengdu City Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan province in China, has

been recognized as “the land of abundance” for a long time. With rich cultural

heritage, Chengdu is one of the most popular destinations for tourists in China.

People who once step onto the land of Chengdu city will quickly fall in love

with life there. It seems that Chengdu people are living a happy life with less

pressure from their occupation, family or from the conflict social competition.

Children, for example, can enjoy the child-only facilities in the parks. They

can play with peers and make friends with each other. For teenagers and adults,

the various entertainment places and snack streets are indispensable part of

their life. The old in Chengdu can also sit in a teahouse with a cup of tea

after dinner and gossip their family. The pace of life in Chengdu is slower than

in other big cities. People tend to spend more time and efforts to create and

experience happiness.

Chengdu is a city where one comes and doesn’t want to leave. There are many

famous scenic spots such as Jingli, Kuanzai Street, Tianfu Square and Chengdu

Panda Base. In Chengdu, one can not only enjoy shopping in Tianfu square,

walking on the ancient streets and buy souvenirs in traditional houses or stores

on Jingli and Kuangzai Street, but also play with cute pandas and help feed

their cubs in the Panda Base. Furthermore, watching a Sichuan Opera Show will

also provide a newcomer with unforgettable and precious memories. The delicate

face-changing in Sichuan Opera has become a symbol of Sichuan culture.

你知道清明节是怎么来的吗?哈哈!不知道了吧还是我来告诉你吧!我国传统的清明节大约始于周代，已有二千多年的历史。清明节最开始 一个很重要的节气，清明节一到，气温升高，正是春耕春种的大好时节，故有“清明节前后。种瓜种豆。植树造林，莫过清明” 的农谚。后来。由于清明节与寒冷的日子接近，而寒食是民间禁火扫墓的日子，渐渐的寒食与清明节就合二为一了，而寒食即成为清明节的别称。也变成为清明节的一个习俗。清明节之日不动烟火，只吃凉的食品。

清明节还有一个习俗就是扫墓。今年清明节前后，我们学校组织了春游，就是去革命英雄纪念碑。我们带着太阳帽，拿着小白花，浩浩荡荡地拉到了革命英雄纪念碑，在那里，有许多高大的石碑，石碑上有很多烈士的名字在上面的，我们低着头，来到长清树面前，把我们的小白花寄在长清树上，默默地看着长清树上的小白花……依依不舍在离开了革命英雄纪念碑……

这是我们纪念已故先人的节日，也是我们中国非常传统的节日——清明节!

The shared bikes like Mobike and Ofobring great convenience to people. You

needn’t lock them by simply using your smart phone. They can take you where the

subway and bus don’t go. And they can be left anywhere in public for the next

user.

However, bad things happen. Some people damage the QR code on the bike, or

use their own lock, which causes trouble toother users.

In my opinion, it’s difficult to turn these people’s ideas in a short time.

Therefore, bike-sharing companies like Mobike and Ofo need to do something. For

example, those who damage the bike should pay for their actions. Also, because

people use their real name to registeras a user, it’s a good way to connect to

one’spersonal credit.

In the end, what I want to say is to take good care of public services.

Tennis is the world’s third sport, it ranks after football and basketball.

Every year, a lot of audience keeps their eyes on the four grand slam

championships. It is known to all that Wimbledon has the oldest history and the

tennis players treat it as the greatest honor to win it. This year, the local

player Murray won it again.

The famous male tennis players are Big 4. They almost won all the important

championships during the last ten years. But Murray was in the awkward situation

though he was one of the Big 4, he never won the grand slam, what’s more, people

in England put so much hope on him to win Wimbledon Championship. When Murray

made it he cried out and felt relieved.

When the second time he won, he cried out again though he did not have so

much pressure as before. The fans knew that he had a hard time after his first

great honor, people started to qustioned about his ability. But he proved

himself again.

Every player has his honor hour and the bad time, the more important is to

never give up, then honor will come again.

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most popular traditional festivals

celebrated in China, which is on the fifth of the fifth lunar month, also known

as Duanwu Festival. It’s said that it is to commemorate the death of a Chinese

patriotic poet, Qu Yuan, who was snared by corrupt officials in ancient China

and finally committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River to protest

against them.

The traditions and customs held on this festival differ from place to

place, but there are some common in them. First, the most famous and great

tradition is holding Dragon Boat races, which are held by fishermen’s attempt to

protect Qu Yuan’s body against attacking by fishes and other animals in the

river by beating drums and row the dragon shaped boat. Nowadays dragon boat

races have been an annual popular sport activity among people. In addition,

making and eating Zongzi—a dumpling made of glutinous rice and wrapped in bamboo

or reed leaves—is also a popular custom during this day. It can be made by many

kinds of stuffing. What’s more, hanging herbs on the front door, drinking

realgar wine and pasting up picture of Zhongkui—a mythic guardian figure in

ancient china—are also popular during the festival, which are mean to protect

people from evil and disease.

These customs and traditions have been changed a little in recent years,

but they still make contribution to the spread and inheritance of Chinese

culture.

The generation gap is unavoidable in almost every family, which brings

about a number of conflicts in a family. In my opinion, to limit the bad effects

of the generation gap, each family should use the following three methods:

First of all, it is important that family members discuss openly about

their pleasures or sadness in childhood in family gatherings. This activity does

not only create a close relationship but also help build up understanding among

all members. For instance, once children are aware that their grandparents and

even their parents did not have a good upbringing during their hard childhood,

they will stop complaining about the previous generations’ obsoleteness. In the

meantime, once old people realize young people are nurtured in a new modern way,

it is easy for them to be tolerant of young people’s new habits or hobbies.

Secondly, people of each generation should not develop a very high feeling

about themselves. In order to do that, they should not think that they are the

only right people in their family because each person has his or her own

limitations. Teenagers would realize that their parents have to struggle with

pain to support them financially, and they would stop rebelling their

strictness. Parents would realize that their children’s new style does no harm

to their studies and stop imposing their own unsuitable standards on their

children.

Finally, the generation gap and its bad effects can be limited if all

members cooperate to build up a close-knit family relationship and a harmonious

atmosphere in which they are open and tolerant of each other. I strongly believe

that each family, by doing that, can enjoy a cozy atmosphere with minimum

interference by the generation gap.
