高中英语作文暑假计划(1)

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

The summer vacation had come round again. I was happy that I could forget about school at least for a while. Lest I fool around all through this summer vacation, I made a plan as to how to spend it. First, I thought I should go over all those things my teachers taught in the previous term so that I could have a better understanding of them. Then I thought I should take up some forms of exercise, such as walking, running and rowing, to keep me physically strong. It stood to reason that with such a good plan I should make the best of my vacation time. I did, because I lived up to what I had planned.

I was so busy in the previous winter holiday for I am going to take the

university entrance exam in July this year. Everyday, I buried myself in

studying. I had to review each required subject and do lots of exercises.

Besides, because I did bad in mathematics and physics, I had to do much more

exercises than other courses, which made me discouraged. I spent more than ten

hours a day in studying. When I was tired, I watched TV or listened to music for

a little while. But It was a big pity that I couldnt go to the see cinema. In

addition, I had to refuse all the invitations of friends and relatives. I only

called them or sent messages in the New Year’s Eve. I desperately hoped that

there is no exam but I know it’s impossible. The only thing I can do is to study

hard to get good scores and can be admitted to Tsinghua University.

Strong Will

Since I go to high school, I live in the school and stay away from my

parents.

I have three roommates. At the beginning, we have trouble in staying in the

same room, but now we have got used to it. One of my roommates impresses me so

much. Since she came to our room, she has kept the habit of reading novels when

we go to bed. She told me that when she lived with her parents, she dared not to

read because her mother would blame her for sleeping late. Now she is very happy

that she is out of control, it seems that she is free. But I feel sorry for her,

because she is short-sighted now. What’s more, she is lagging behind other

students in the study. Staying away from her parents, she is not strong enough

to behave herself.

We should have the strong will and behave ourselves.

坚强的意志

自从我上了高中,我就住在学校,远离父母。

我有3个室友,刚开始,我们不习惯同处一室,但是如今,我们已经习惯了。有一个室友让我印象很深刻,自从她住进我们的房间,她就在我们睡觉的时候保持看小说的习惯。她告诉我们在她和父母住在一起的时候,她不敢看小说,因为她妈妈会责怪她那么晚睡觉。如今她很高兴再也不受控制了,似乎她得到了自由。但是我为她感到遗憾,因为她现在已经近视,而且,在学习方面也落后于其他同学。离开了父母,她不够强大,无法自律。

我们应该有坚强的意志,并且自律。

篇7:高中英语作文:端午节计划

全文共 2360 字

导语:2017端午节即将到来,下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的有关端午节的作文,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!

whats your plan for dragon boat festival?

As a chinese, I was really ashamed of having a little knowledge of dragon boat festival. Perhaps I was born in northern city, though my city is nearby sea, it has been built a U port which I can only see cargo ships and cant see the sweeping ocean. So I have never see the dragon boat contest since I was born. So the dragon boat festival is just a holiday for eating Zong Zi. My mother made Zong Zi when I was a child. Because there was no supermarket, we couldnt buy finished product from market. However, now, we can buy anything in supermarket, so my mother didnt make them anymore. The boat festival began to fade out my mind.

In reality, young people began to have a bug to celebrate foreign festivals, such as Christams, Saint Valentines day, April Fools Day, some people also celebrate Easter in church. Talk about Dragon boat festival, its the same as some foreign conventional festivals, such as Witchs Day in Czech. People burned the witchs puppet so as to welcome spring. Some people are willing to celebrate foreign festivals because they like alien culture. And vice versa, foreigners who like China also concern about Chinese traditional culture.

After new holiday regulation, we have three holidays during the dragon boat festival. So many people will choose this time to travel. People who lived in Xiamen are able to visit Xiapu or Wu Yi mountain, these tourist attractions are in Fujian province,which is suit a short tirp. but Id like to stay at home for my decorate painting. I decide to draw two canvases about Christmas, its really a big project. Then Ill hang them on the new house wall. I must start it now, or I cant finish them before Christmas eve. But I preceive its a little difficult to draw them in such a hot season. ​

【参考译文】

你的端午节计划是什么?

作为一个中国人,我对端午节有点了解真是惭愧。也许我出生在北方城市,虽然我的城市在附近的海,它已经建立了一个U端口,我只能看到货船和无法看到席卷大海。所以我从出生起就再也没有见过龙舟比赛。所以端午节只是吃粽子的节日。当我还是个孩子的时候,我妈妈就做了粽子。因为没有超市,我们不能从市场上买到成品。然而,现在,我们可以买任何东西在超市,所以我的母亲没有让他们了。端午节开始淡出我的脑海。

在现实中,年轻人开始有了庆祝外国节日,如圣诞节、情人节、四月愚人节,也有些人庆祝复活节教堂。谈端午节,它同国外的一些传统节日,如巫婆的一天在捷克。人们焚烧巫婆木偶以迎接春天。有些人愿意庆祝外国节日,因为他们喜欢异族文化。反之亦然,外国人喜欢中国也关注中国传统文化。

经过新的假期规定,端午节期间我们有三个假期。所以很多人会选择这次旅行。住在厦门的人们都能够访问霞浦或吴仪山,这些旅游景点都在福建省,这是适合短期旅行。但我想呆在家里做我的装饰画。我决定画关于圣诞节的两画布,它真是一个大项目。然后我把它们挂在新房子的墙上。我必须现在开始,否则我不能在圣诞节前夕完成它们。但我认为其借鉴他们在这样一个炎热的季节,有点困难。

我的朋友高中作文二:我的朋友

青春,怎能少了朋友。我的朋友,说得通俗一点,就是酒肉朋友。

首先,给大家介绍介绍我的“猪朋友”。

说到我的这个猪朋友,让我实在为难。

——我实在找不着适合的词来形容她,只得借他人之言——Pig!

“Pig”是我的猪朋友的外号(我想,也算得上是她的乳名吧)。自七年级某位才华横溢之大才子赠她美名曰“Pig”之后,“Pig”便成了她的囊中之物,发展成了她的专有名词(尽管她没有申请专利)。

瞧,她让我为难了吧,介绍她时,我总不能对别人说:我认识一头猪!

再说,说她是“猪”,别人总会问道:“这是啥猪?这不是好端端的人吗?你这话说得太武断了,从猪进化为人,也算个人啊;尽管猪模猪样,好歹也是用两只脚走路。”

可是,说她不是“猪”,在她身上又不能寻觅出人的迹象。打个比方,她每天要睡足十个小时(这是个中学生该做的事吗?好好学习,天天向上的学习精神哪儿去了?);她“饿”时,会饥不择食,什么漫画书、笑话书、言情小说不在话下,更不用说什么肥皂剧了。

更要命的是,她有着猪那般魔鬼身材,时不时扭动,令人不得不发挥想象力,把她与那无忧无虑的动物混为一谈。

说完我的猪朋友,也该我的狗朋友出场了。

也许是因为大家都是动物,有着血缘关系的缘故吧。我发现,我那猪朋友爱睡懒觉的毛病在我的狗朋友身上得到了发扬。

六年级时,我与我的狗朋友是同桌(也许是从那个时候开始,我对狗有了特别的认识)。

对于她爱睡觉的习惯,我也习以为常,且慢慢发展成我的习惯。

每当上第三节课时,我都会主动把我的右手伸给她,当她的免费枕头(我可不想得狂犬症)。

狗睡觉时喜欢流口水——这是我的狗朋友在睡觉时给我的启发。可能是她梦到了骨头,这是我当时的想法——也是我担心得“狂犬症”的原因之一。

我一直不明白,狗怎么和猪一样贪睡呢。直到有一天,她告诉我,她凌晨四点才睡时,我心中的迷团解开了。

原来还是头顾家的狗啊!我敬佩地点了点头。

怎么样,听完我的介绍,你是否发现,我的朋友是名副其实的“酒肉朋友”?

我的朋友高中作文三:我的朋友

生活中,我们接触过太多的名字,有哪些我们能记住?又能记多久?

——题记

杨敏

她是我上高中后,认识的第一个女生.坦诚的说,她人很好.很随和,脾气温和,爱说爱笑,长的也漂亮,对学习很用功.由于刚上高中,我还不适应,常常在晚自习向窗外望.一次,她也看着窗外,我和她了起来,我说到我的初中生活,那快乐,那让人留恋的日子.她笑了,很羡慕的样子.放学了,我走回寝室,又看见了她,她笑了一笑,走上楼去.怎么说呢?第一次对女生有一些不同的感觉.睡觉前,我在想,真是奇怪呢?原来还有这么开朗活泼的女生啊!仿佛全部女生的优点都集中在她身上似的那时刚上高中不久,操场上的树叶子都是的.早晨,洗把脸,走过操场,看到这一片树在阳光下生长,我伸开双臂,感到生命的美好.

究竟是从什么时候和她在晚上一起走呢?我已记不得了.那时的我听着她说一天的快乐与烦恼.偶尔的"恩/哦"应答着.时间一天天过去,还真有趣呢!这个时候,朋友的意义我才懂了一些吧.

时间老人仍驾着马车向前飞驰,从不肯稍做歇息.我的生活还是老样子,没有改变.但对她却在一点一点变化着.之后发生的事就不说啦!做了许多傻事/错事,也都痛过,哭过.但随着时间的推移,我渐渐明白,或许,她是我高中的第一个好朋友.我觉得她答应我,只是不愿失去我这个朋友,只是不愿去伤害一个朋友的荒诞的心,却伤了自己.虽然以后的两天在别人看很短,可是对我来说很长.一切来也匆匆去也匆匆,终究随风飘去.

杨敏,我一直不敢和你说话,没有勇气去面对你.如果我站在你面前说:"我可以做你朋友吗?"你会说:"当然."吗?

还有三个字对你说:"对不起."

严彬

她是我的好朋友,和她的相识很有意思,那是因为我们一起挨饿.哈哈.之后在劳动中,我的工作完成了,就给她捣乱.找不到她就四处问,还说:"我记得和她挺好的."呵呵,现在想来那时真好啊!我这个人啊,有时就是不正常.就这样,打打闹闹就认识啦.那时还总把她和王禹瑶认错,闹出不少笑话.很快我们成了好朋友.我带她去上网,她领我去公园.对于她和我来说,可能都是第一次吧!还记得去桃山公园爬山时,一路上她讲了许多这的变化和故事,各个季节里的景色.春天里杏子满山的情形杏花散发的芳香.那时看着她,觉得这人真好,有知识有文化,口才又好,心直口快,相天使一样.和她做朋友怕是几辈子修来的吧?她很有趣.一次,我收到我同桌夏春的信,让我照些大头贴.我不懂,就去问她.她没说什么,不一会,传过来一张纸条.我打开,呵!开头几个字是敲诈信,下面的就不说啦!结果是我们三人一起去了.当然,还有一些后话就不说啦!我发疯的几天,她给我传纸条,那时也很乱啊!以后的事有一件该永远记住,是我疯了之后,她不理我.但在一次网上邂逅时她说:"我从来就没生过你的气."

我于是明白,朋友,就是能宽容你的一切,不论你伤了她多少次,还会把你当朋友的人.

但,我想说一句话,永远不要伤害朋友的心。朋友,并不需记得清楚.在你需要她时,她会来,就好.该是淡如水的.

我的朋友高中作文四:我的朋友

说起朋友,我觉得我是一个幸运的人,从小到大,我的朋友不多,但每一位朋友都在我的生命中留下了不可磨灭的烙印,她们在我的生命中是永远挥之不去的,我永远也忘不了她们。

无论是从小学,初中,还是到现在,不同的朋友,带给我的都是不同的感动,说起朋友,她们的身影在我的脑海中清晰闪现,一个个朋友,一幕幕情节,此时此刻,对于朋友我有千言万语的话想要对她们说。

回忆着,一个朋友的身影时常在我脑海中出现,我们的友谊已经算算也已经有八年的时光了,在这八年的时光里,我们共同经历了很多很多,有福同享有难同当,用在我们的身上是再恰当不过了,我们相互陪伴着,相互鼓励着,共同面对了,也彼此携手走过了那一道道难关,在这一个又一个春夏秋冬中,我们经常是向彼此诉说着心里的话,无话不谈,我们会为彼此的痛苦而痛苦,会为彼此的快乐而快乐,深刻的记着,那是一个风雨交加的下午,我们从书店出来,天下起了小雨,我们彼此牵着彼此的手,很快的跑向了车站牌,当坐上了回家的车时,不一会儿,我们看看车窗外,雨越下越大,我们都没有带伞,当快要下车时,暴风骤雨随之而来了,因我之前还有些感冒,她问我冷吗?又问我难受吗?准备下车时,她连话都没说,就将最厚的外套脱下来披在我的身上,然后说披好,别让病情加重了,温暖的感觉溢满了全身,我突然想到,你给我穿了,你不冷吗?你万一生病了怎么办?她说“我不冷,我的身体特别强壮,可是铁打的身体,怎么会生病呢?”她的话让我无法拒绝,我只好披着了,于是,我们彼此搀扶着向家中奔去,然而,第二天,我到她家去找她一同上学时,阿姨却告诉我“她今天不能去上学了,我给她请了假,她生病了”听到这里,我迅速到她的卧室里去找她,当我见到她时,脸色苍白,浑身无力,额头滚烫,天啊!“你怎么发烧了,额头怎会这般烫,我说”我哭了,我再也忍不住了,眼泪不停的往下流,我知道,你今天躺在这里都是因为我,我若是不穿你给我的衣服,你自己穿着的话,也就不会生病了,好难过,我真的好难过,我说“你值得吗?为了我,你值得吗?你这样做,你值得吗?”她看到我这么难过,说:“不要哭,不要难过,朋友不就应该是这样吗?再说了,你可是我做好的朋友,叫我怎能不关心你呢?”我懂,我都懂,你也是我最好的朋友,刚刚说到这里,她便催促着我去上学,不要迟到了,我顿时便说“不要,我不要去上学,我要在家陪你,我要照顾你,”她立刻呵斥我说“不可以,绝对不可以,快去上学,否则,我就再也不理你了”我说“好,我去,我去,那一刻,我便含着泪跑了出去,跑向学校,脑海中想的全部都是她,今生能够拥有这么一位朋友,我值了。

时光流逝,不知不觉我们的友谊已度过了八年的时光,在这八年的时光里,我们吵过,我们闹过,可是,我们的感情却非常好,泪水再次浸湿了我的眼眶,我们也可以说是青梅竹马的朋友,随着时间的推移,我们都在成长,我们也都各自经历了很多,我们也都各自有了其她的朋友,然而,我们这份深厚的友谊,这份同甘共苦的友谊,是永远不会被忽视的,在我的生命中,你对我来说真的是非常重要,我的朋友。

我的朋友高中作文五:我的朋友

或许这个世界太小了,让我们相遇那说明这就是缘分吧!与你在一起是我最快乐的时候,也因有你我的生活变得很平凡。和你共度也是我感觉到像童话故事那般美好的日子。

在我刚进高中的时候,曾今想放弃不在读高中,打算转学的。但你还是给我讲高中生活是多么美好,让我不要放弃。于是我坚持下来念高中,而且还不断给我信心。你总是有伤心事总是和我说,也让我分享你的痛苦,那就是友情吧!

我也述说我的过去,过去我也是一个挺乖的孩子。但可能跟那些不学无术的同学混在一起,使我忘记学习的意义。每天只会拿同学的作业在不断地抄,考试次次不及格。回到家家里总是没人,一个人吃饭,一个人看电视。有时候跟同学出去玩,玩到晚上12点才回家。后来我决定痛改前非了,因为中考到了。我想考到好一点的高中,所以就初三才开始努力。但一切都晚了。只是考去一间比较偏僻的农村高中,想放弃高中。但父母坚持要我读高中,我就上了这间高中,但可能是思想上的不同,让我对这间学校毫无感情可言。

但这时你的出现,让这一切都变啦!孤零零的一个人,多了你的陪伴让我不再孤独。你总是听我倾述心中的不愉快,解开我心中的每一层结。和我在宿舍里不停的打闹,追打。那是属于我们共同的回忆,即使有再大的痛苦也会克服的。

有你在我把我的想法,读完高中的目标也和你说啦!我的世界因为有你而精彩,谢谢你我的朋友。

我的朋友高中作文六:我的朋友

我有个朋友,名叫赵哲。长得胖乎乎的,圆圆的脸,明亮的眼睛。

赵哲和我是在同一家医院出生的,他比我小一天。后来长大后,他和我又成了同班同学,也算是有些缘分吧。

有 句名言是这样说的:“朋友是分忧解难的良药,是分享快乐的天使。”记得四年级的一天,体育老师让我们做仰卧起坐。当轮到我的时候,我不由紧张起来,因为我 以前在家做仰卧起坐时,一个都做不起来。我躺在垫子上,只听见老师一声哨响,我做了起来。可一分钟过去后,我还是和以前一样,连一个都做不起来。当我看见 别人都能做二三十个,心里有一种说不出的滋味。这时,赵哲走上来对我说:“董驰宁,别担心。我以前也做不起来,只要你回去慢慢地练习,每天比前一天多做一 个,总有一天你在一分钟内会做很多个。”听了赵哲的话,我心里好过多了。如今,我一分钟能做四十个仰卧起做了。

“什么是朋友,两个身体,一个灵魂。”我和赵哲也是这样。每次放暑假,妈妈总要给我报好几个培训班。这时,赵哲就会问我:“董驰宁,你报了什么培训班?”然后他也和我在一处报名。赵哲每次和我形影不离,所以别人都说我俩是“双胞胎”。

我 和赵哲的友情也出现过危机。今年夏季的一天,放学后,我依旧和赵哲一块儿走回家。走到一个小店时,我停下来了,拿出身上仅有的一元钱买了根五角钱的冰棒。 这时赵哲走上来,让我用剩下的五角钱给他也买一根。我说:“不行,这五角钱是我下午买冰棒的钱。”赵哲生气了,一溜烟跑了。过了几天,赵哲走到我身边说: “董驰宁,对不起,哪天是我不好。”我说:“哎,那么一件小事,我早就忘了。”说完,我俩笑了起来。

朋友之间最重要的一句话——朋友是真,所以珍惜。

我的朋友高中作文七:我的朋友

友谊如一盏灯,照亮你的心灵;友谊如指路人,在你茫然的时候,指引着你前进;友谊如一朵鲜花,芳香我们的心灵;友谊如……人的一生,不能没有朋友,朋友,他能赶走了我心中的寂寞和痛苦,给我带来欢乐。朋友,他使我远离冷漠、虚假。朋友他给我无数的信心和快乐。

他,浓浓的眉毛下衬托着一双炯炯有神的眼睛,高高的鼻子,一身白净的皮肤,他就是我的好朋友——业发,我和业发认识已经有一年多了,他给我带来欢乐,带来……

业发,他是我学习上最大的对手。他勤学好问、尊敬师长、待人友好,是学生们的榜样。因为他,我得更努力的学习,因为我们的目标相同,都是夺取全年级第一。每次大考,要不是我第一,就是他第一(目前来说,我夺取的第一比他多点)。如果他没考好,他肯定会总结经验,努力学习,改进自己的不足之处,使自己更优秀。他从来不会因为的一次失败而放弃,相反,他会找出原因,更加努力的学习,我不得不也加把劲,努力学习。记得有一次,我和他说:“业发,我们要考同一所高中,到高中的学校我们继续竞争,好吗?”他说:“好啊!”看样子,我们的战争是很难停止的,相反战争会越来越激烈。但我们不象其他人那样,反目成仇,相反我们还是很好的朋友呢,在学习上,我有不懂的地方,我会去问他,他也很乐意,他会详细的和我讲解,他有不懂的题,我也会讲给他听。因为有和业发竞争的压力,我越来越坚强,我要把压力变为动力,越来越努力的学习,努力的去和业发争第一。有时我没有考好,他会鼓励我,要我努力,和他继续竞争。有了业发的鼓励,加上我自己的不服输的性格,我又和业发开始竞争了,这就是业发给我带来的学习动力,在这,我要好好的对业发说:“谢谢你!我一定会奉陪到底!”

业发,为什么会给我带来欢乐呢?因为我们不仅仅是学习上的对手还是很要好的朋友,玩伴呢!有时,没事时他会叫上几个好朋友来和我一起玩,打球。这时,我也会叫上几个好朋友来,一起玩。我们几个在一起总玩得很开心。这样,业发他们、我和我的朋友们既锻炼了身体也玩得开心。因为我们是同学,我们在一起总是很谈得来,可以谈学习、谈理想……这些都是业发给我带来的欢乐。

我的朋友高中作文八:我的朋友

一头乌黑的秀发,一对浓浓的眉毛,像用画笔画过似的,一双水汪汪的眼睛,一口洁白的牙齿,这就是我的伙伴——陈新。她非常爱读书。

我和陈新既是邻居又是同班同桌,所以我们一起去学校,一起回家,一起做作业。

记得有一次,她边看书边下楼,走到还剩一级楼梯,她以为没有了,一步跨过,跌得鼻青脸肿。痛得她“哎哟,哎哟”直叫。

她还不吸取教训,边看书边走路,才走几步就撞到一棵大树,她急忙说:“对不起,对不起,请你原谅。”我哈哈大笑起来:“你……你看一下,那是树还是人?”她看后不好意思地笑了。离学校不远了,她还是边看书边走路。后来真得撞上了一个人,她还以为又是树,所以也不道歉便走了。那人生气地说:“你这小子,把人撞了,连声‘对不起’都不说就走了,真没礼貌。”

“今天真怪,连树都会说话。”“我说你这个人真怪,你没长眼睛啊!我明明是人,你偏说我是树。“我忍不住笑出了声,她听见了我的笑声,抬头一看,脸红了,连忙道歉“对不起,对不起,我以为是树呢。”“神经病。”

人生往往是一场马拉松比赛,从第一声啼哭开始,我们就开始了比赛。至于最后的结果,完全要靠自己。

小学一年级开始,就已经向我们这些选手们敲响了警钟。如果不努力便会被其他选手超越。没有永恒的冠军,只有不断地超越。在每一次期中考试,期末考试前,我们都要拼命的复习,这就像是一名军人一样。一名合格,优秀的军人,必须要有一把好枪,精准度要高。“一把好枪”就是平时积累,学习中,思考中得到的结果与知识;有一把好枪也不够,还要结合一名军人的反应能力,思维敏捷,判断能力高于一身,这些就是我们的运用能力。

初中又是一次新的起点。现在,我们不能像小学那样,回家之后就看电视,到晚上看尽兴了,看够了,才写作业,在强烈的白帜灯下,不仅伤害身体,还会导致自己的学习成绩下降。

我们应该一回家就写家庭作业,作业完成后就复习一下今天所学的,预习一下明天该上的课,这样才能提高我们的成绩,让我们变得更加优秀,争取把自己最优秀,最耀眼的一面展示给大家看。

一个新的起点,蕴含着一个新的道理。牛顿的起点是苹果将头砸一下,发现了地心引力;爱迪生在他母亲做手术时,用镜子将灯光发明了灯泡。

起点往往是低的,一个成功的人,不论现在站的的多高,看的多远,但昨天都是普通地。我还是相信那句话:没有永恒的冠军,只有不断的超越。

篇11:高中英语读后感:简爱

全文共 4827 字

导语:《简·爱》是十九世纪英国著名的女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特的代表作,人们普遍认为《简·爱》是夏洛蒂·勃朗特“诗意的生平写照”,是一部具有自传色彩的作品。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!

This is a story about a special and unreserved woman who has been exposed to a hostile environment but continuously and fearlessly struggling for her ideal life. The story can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit.

It seems to me that many readers’ English reading experience starts with Jane Eyer. I am of no exception. As we refer to the movie “Jane Eyer”, it is not surprising to find some differences because of its being filmized and retold in a new way, but the spirit of the novel remains----to be an independent person, both physically and mentally.

Jane Eyer was a born resister, whose parents went off when she was very young, and her aunt,the only relative she had,treated her as badly as a ragtag. Since Jane’s education in Lowwood Orphanage began, she didn’t get what she had been expecting——simply being regarded as a common person, just the same as any other girl around. The suffers from being humiliated and devastated teach Jane to be persevering and prize dignity over anything else.As a reward of revolting the ruthless oppression, Jane got a chance to be a tutor in Thornfield Garden. There she made the acquaintance of lovely Adele and that garden’s owner, Rochester, a man with warm heart despite a cold face outside. Jane expected to change the life from then on, but fate had decided otherwise: After Jane and Rochester fell in love with each other and got down to get marry, she unfortunately came to know in fact Rochester had got a legal wife, who seemed to be the shadow following Rochester and led to his moodiness all the time ----Rochester was also a despairing person in need of salvation. Jane did want to give him a hand, however, she made up her mind to leave, because she didn’t want to betray her own principles, because she was Jane Eyer. The film has finally got a symbolist end: Jane inherited a large number of legacies and finally returned. After finding Rochester’s misfortune brought by his original mad wife, Jane chose to stay with him forever.

I don’t know what others feel, but frankly speaking, I would rather regard the section that Jane began her teaching job in Thornfield as the film’s end----especially when I heard Jane’s words “Never in my life have I been awaken so happily.” For one thing, this ideal and brand-new beginning of life was what Jane had been imagining for long as a suffering person; for another, this should be what the audiences with my views hoped her to get. But the professional judgment of producing films reminded me to wait for a totally different result: There must be something wrong coming with the excellence----perhaps not only should another section be added to enrich the story, but also we may see from the next transition of Jane’s life that “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you would get.” (By Forrest Gump’s mother, in the film “Forrest Gump”)

What’s more, this film didn’t end when Jane left Thornfield. For Jane Eyer herself, there should always be somewhere to realize her great ideal of being independent considering her fortitude, but for Rochester, how he can get salvation? The film gives the answer tentatively: Jane eventually got back to Rochester. In fact, when Jane met Rochester for the first time, she scared his horse and made his heel strained, to a certain extent, which meant Rochester would get retrieval because of Jane. We can consider Rochester’s experiences as that of religion meaning. The fire by his frantic wife was the punishment for the cynicism early in his life. After it, Rochester got the mercy of the God and the love of the woman whom he loved. Here we can say: human nature and divinity get united perfectly in order to let such a story accord with the requirements of both two sides. The value of this film may be due to its efforts to explore a new way for the development of humanism under the faith of religion.

Life is ceaselessly changing, but our living principles remain. Firmly persisting for the rights of being independent gives us enough confidence and courage, which is like the beacon over the capriccioso sea of life. In the world of the film, we have found the stories of ourselves, which makes us so concerned about the fate of the dramatis personae.

In this era of rapid social and technological change leading to increasing life complexity and psychological displacement, both physical and mental effects on us call for a balance. We are likely to find ourselves bogged down in the Sargasso Sea of information overload and living unconsciousness. It’s our spirit that makes the life meaningful.

Heart is the engine of body, brain is the resource of thought, and great films are the mirrors of life. Indubitably, “Jane Eyer” is one of them.

同君醉笑三万场,不诉离殇。

--题记

在这个生命长河里,已走过了十几个春秋了,人生又能有几个春秋呢?所以,我们要用这仅仅的几十年里去留下些什么吧?

告别,一个悲伤的字眼,无论是要告别什么,或许,都会存有一丝的不忍吧?当我们告别童年的时候,是否意味着我们就该抛弃那些可爱的洋娃娃,和它们永别呢?当我们伏案就读的时候,可曾有对墙角那个穿着厚厚的灰尘的娃娃投去关切的目光呢?它应该没有埋怨你就那样和它告别了吧?它应该不会记得你抛弃它吧?

告别,的含义应该是和亲友告别吧?我们都已忘记,我们究竟结实了多少好朋友了。大概就是连个曾与之为伴,每天一起唠叨的知音也忘了。就像一个小学时候,天天手拉手上学的好朋友,现在也已是陌路人了,那种形同陌路的感觉有时会让人心酸不已!忘记曾几时,和她是那般的笑容灿烂,可今非昔比了!已成陌路,那是否说明我们已告了别了?没有告别的告别吧?

记得,高中时,有个同学的父母离异了,她伤心的抱着我痛哭,她的感受我虽体会不到,但我能从她的哭声中感觉到!她就用那哭声和昔日温馨的家告别!是那么的悲痛,那么的凄凉!

不过,有些告别也不一定是悲伤的!有一种告别应该让人欣慰吧!同班有个男同学,以前特别特别的坏!后来吧,也不知是因为什么原因,竟开始发奋努力学习了!应该是件令他感动的事!从此他告别了他的坏毛病,争做好学生了!这种告别是珍贵的!应该长存下来。

应该还有一种更惨痛的告别!那就是告别亡亲。外婆60来岁,虽然常常面带笑意,但上了年纪后就一直身体不好,总是生病。在我五年级那会儿,外婆就离开了!外婆的离开悄无声息,她连走的时候都没有悲伤。在外公去给她买药的时候,她就那样一去不复返了。这场告别也那么悄无声息!

成长的路上,等待着许多伤痛!这些也是值得我们回忆的。当我们翻开人生的扉页的时候,我们就开始经历告别,经历我们不想经历的过程。到最后,只留一丝浅笑……

浅笑无痕,只留一丝寂寞。

导语:端午节是古老的传统节日,始于中国的春秋战国时期,至今已有2000多年历史。端午节的由来与传说很多,下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的有关端午节的作文,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!

Duanwu Festival (端午节, Duānwū Jié) is a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar. It is also known as the Double Fifth.[citation(引用;引证) needed] It has since been celebrated, in various ways, in other parts of East Asia as well. In the West, its commonly known as Dragon Boat Festival.

The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear, but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan (c. 340 BC-278 BC) of the Warring States Period. He committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the Chu government. The local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fish so they would not eat Qus body. They also sat on long, narrow paddle boats called dragon boats, and tried to scare the fish away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking carved dragon head on the boats prow(船头)。

In the early years of the Chinese Republic, Duan Wu was also celebrated as "Poets Day," due to Qu Yuans status as Chinas first poet of personal renown(名声名望)。

Today, people eat bamboo-wrapped steamed glutinous(粘的) rice dumplings called zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fish) and race dragon boats in memory of Qus dramatic death.

【参考译文】

端午节是中国的传统节日,在农历第五月第五日。它也被称为双第五。[引文需要](引用;引证)它已被庆祝,以各种方式,在东亚的其他国家也。在欧美地区,它通常被称为端午节。

端午节确切的起源尚不清楚,但一个传统的观点认为,这个节日是由中国诗人屈原(公元前340 BC-278。)战国时期的。他因沉溺于一条河而自杀,因为他对楚国政府的腐败感到厌恶。当地人知道他是个好人,决定把食物扔到河里喂鱼,这样他们就不会吃屈原的尸体了。他们长时间坐在狭小的龙舟上,并试图把鱼儿吓跑的齐鸣声船和凶猛的雕龙头船的船头鼓。

民国初年,端午节也被誉为“诗人节”,“由于屈原的地位,作为中国的第一诗人的个人名声。

初一,就如此,我亲手将它扶起,又亲手将它埋葬,如今我已上了初二,初中三年,此时我正处在中间,我必须明白,我不能似初一那般无忧无虑,也许是时候想想初三的事了,毕竟,我剩不了多少时间了,对吗?

介绍一下吧,此时站在讲台上的男老师便是我们班今年的班主任——张成东,他有一张“魔鬼”般的脸,说话也冷冷的,总之,少惹他生气,否则,那后果……其实也就是罚写作文,罚抄《中学生守则》而已,什么?幼稚?你脑残了,很多的好不(请原谅我的失控,可还是很多啊)

那个,请允许我介绍一下今年的老师阵容,语文,英语,政治,地理,历史,生物——换了,物理——新来的,数学——照旧!总而言之,言而总之,我们的数学老师有蟑螂般是的毅力,也只有1在她的课堂上,才有可能出现真正的鸦雀无声!当然,我们的历史,也就是老班,他的课堂也有不少人变得闲静少言。

在这里有必要讲一下我的同桌,当初那个天真可爱滴孩子如今成小说迷,专看穿越剧,虽然小说这事吧,是我引起的,可我也没教她专买个手机去看小说啊,虽然早在初一第二学期她就这么干过了,可今年是变本加厉,她上课发呆,下课看小说,有事没事问我一句:“诶,如果能穿越的话你想到哪个朝代去?”我看了她一眼,说:“架空朝代,”她居然直点头:“嗯嗯嗯,那样的话用唐诗三百首中的几首就能压死那些人,哈……”听完,我唇角直抽(你别以为我在说谎,她真这么说过,我,本人,对天发誓)

其实,不仅是她,班里的人也全变了,组长爱上看小说了,也爱上了上网,我也一样,上网玩游戏最好了,自从有了台电脑,查些资料什么的也方便了许多,于是,我开始在作文网上发表一些自创作文,都发表了,只是,我投给报社的信却一去不复返,石沉大海,到底是道行不够啊,只是,至少回个信什么的,让我死不瞑目也好啊!不对,是死得瞑目!

对了,还有关于学习的事,所有科目都一样,考起试来惨不忍睹,新增加的物理这一科目明显是来蹭饭吃的,本来分数就不咋地,它一来,更加不咋地了,还浪费我的脑力,有时真想把它赶出‘家门’,无奈它背后又502撑腰,惹了它,惨了自己。

那是一个秋风习习,阳光温暖的午后,我正在家里独自玩耍,这时有个快递员叔叔一手提着一只大箱子,一手推着一辆蓝色的自行车来到我家。哦!我知道了,前两天就听爸爸说他在网上买了净水器,人家还赠送一辆大人骑的山地自行车。

“哇!好漂亮的自行车啊!”我高兴地跳着说。

爸爸摸着我的小脑袋笑着说:“喜欢吗?如果你能骑,就是你的了。”

“是吗?好像有点大,我不敢骑,我只会骑我的那辆小自行车。”我怯懦地小声说,眼睛却不由得直瞅着那辆漂亮的山地车。

“别怕,没事的,宝贝!”爸爸摸着我的头,温和地鼓励我说:“你别被它的大个儿吓倒,你先去试试吧!”

在爸爸鼓励下,我推着那辆快和我一样高的山地车,摇摇晃晃地下了我家门口的小坡。可是我看着这辆自行车前面的大横梁,我连上都上不去,怎么骑呀?这时,爸爸过来扶着我骑上车子,又帮我扶住车尾,我的双脚踩在脚踏上,小心地骑着。

我晃悠悠地骑了一段路后,感觉慢慢骑稳了,也不怎么害怕了。可谁知我正小心翼翼地骑着,猛一回头发现爸爸不知什么时候放开了车子,远远地跟在后面。我顿时紧张起来了,想下车,但车子太大,我根本下不去,只能硬着头皮继续往前骑,不巧的是前面有一块石块横在路中间。顿时,我更紧张地不知所措了,怎么办?我心里不由地祈祷:距离石块的这段路再长一点,再长一点!同时大声地喊:“爸爸,快点帮帮我!”可爸爸就是跑过来也跟不上,我该怎么办?突然我想起老师说的话:遇到事情先不要怕,要勇敢面对。困难就像弹簧,你弱它就强,你强它就弱。来不及多想了,我鼓足勇气,深深地吸了一口气,猛地抬起右腿跨过横梁……哇!我竟然从车子上跳下来了!

这时,爸爸也赶来了,他连忙扶起我,一脸焦急的问:“孩子,没事吧?”我一头扎进爸爸的怀抱,不由得哭出了声,虽然还有些后怕,但一种巨大的成就感从心中升起,我忽然感觉自己特别勇敢!

从此,每当遇到困难,我都会告诉自己:别怕,要勇敢,没有什么做不到的!

Today, we live in the modern world, most things we do can use the machine. The technology brings so many convenience to us, it facilitates our life.

When I was very small, paper-cut was so popular in my grandma’s generation, most women could cut all kinds of interesting shapes.

While today when I went back to my hometown, I found that most of them had stopped cutting papers, because they could buy them at the very low price.

What’s more, the young people don’t learn such art, for the parents think it is not necessary for their children to learn the old-fashion thing. The tradition should not be abandoned, it is the reflection of our culture. Even facing the challenge, we need to inherit the tradition.

Which is better, shopping online or traditional shopping? Different people

have different attitudes towards it. Some people think that online shopping is

very convenient, for it can save them a lot of time and energy. It’s especially

helpful for those who are always busy with their work. Besides, through the

internet, they can get more information about the commodities they want to buy

and buy a lot of things that cannot be bought in local places.

Nevertheless, I’m not keen on online shopping at all, since most

commodities which are bought online are of poor quality. Once we are cheated, we

may find it difficult to make a complaint. Thus we should take more cautions

when shopping online.

In my eyes, I prefer traditional shopping, because I can choose what I

really need. Also, I can know the quality of every commodity more clearly. Even

if there’s something wrong with the commodities, I can still ask the sellers to

compensate for my loss.

篇20:以万圣节为话题英语作文

全文共 3131 字

halloween has always been a holiday filled with mystery, magic and superstition. it began as a celtic end-of-summer festival during which people felt especially close to deceased relatives and friends. for these friendly spirits, they set places at the dinner table, left treats on doorsteps and along the side of the road and lit candles to help loved ones find their way back to the spirit world.

todays halloween ghosts are often depicted as more fearsome and malevolent, and our customs and superstitions are scarier too. we avoid crossing paths with black cats, afraid that they might bring us bad luck. this idea has its roots in the middle ages, when many people believed that witches avoided detection by turning themselves into cats. we try not to walk under ladders for the same reason. this superstition may have come from the ancient egyptians, who believed that triangles were sacred; it also may have something to do with the fact that walking under a leaning ladder tends to be fairly unsafe. and around halloween, especially, we try to avoid breaking mirrors, stepping on cracks in the road or spilling salt.

but what about the halloween traditions and beliefs that todays trick-or-treaters have forgotten all about? many of these obsolete rituals focused on the future instead of the past and the living instead of the dead. in particular, many had to do with helping young women identify their future husbands and reassuring them that they would someday--with luck, by next halloween!--be married.

in 18th-century ireland, a matchmaking cook might bury a ring in her mashed potatoes on halloween night, hoping to bring true love to the diner who found it. in scotland, fortune-tellers recommended that an eligible young woman name a hazelnut for each of her suitors and then toss the nuts into the fireplace. the nut that burned to ashes rather than popping or exploding, the story went, represented the girls future husband. (in some versions of this legend, confusingly, the opposite was true: the nut that burned away symbolized a love that would not last.) another tale had it that if a young woman ate a sugary concoction made out of walnuts, hazelnuts and nutmeg before bed on halloween night, she would dream about her future husband. young women tossed apple-peels over their shoulders, hoping that the peels would fall on the floor in the shape of their future husbands initials; tried to learn about their futures by peering at egg yolks floating in a bowl of water; and stood in front of mirrors in darkened rooms, holding candles and looking over their shoulders for their husbands faces.

other rituals were more competitive. at some halloween parties, the first guest to find a burr on a chestnut-hunt would be the first to marry; at others, the first successful apple-bobber would be the first down the aisle.

of course, whether were asking for romantic advice or trying to avoid seven years of bad luck, each one of these halloween superstitions relies on the good will of the very same "spirits" whose presence the early celts felt so keenly. ours is not such a different holiday after all!
