我有一个非常严厉的英语老师我的英语老师姓郝,中等个,戴一副近视眼镜平时她一头如波浪线一样的美发,秀美且整洁,非常漂亮。

每天的英语课总有意象不道的知识,但是也有如水一样多的作业。我认为老师是为我们好,为了提高学习成绩,为了拿着一份满意的分数,为了打好英语的基础。老师您辛苦了,您劳累了。

老师您知道吗?记得初一上册,我是一个错单词很多小女孩,有一次您找我谈话,对我教育告诉我记单词的方法,通过和您与我的谈话启发了我,与现在相比我的错单词是越来越少,奥秘也一点一滴积累。老师我谢谢您!

其实每次您布置的作业避免很多。也会遭遇许多同学的默默言辞,但是我明白您是有您的道理的,您也为我们花了不少时光,您也为我们操出了几根银丝。

在我心中有一支永不熄灭的蜡烛,永远燃烧着生命之火,永远都充满着生机与活力,这支蜡烛是不是很像在我们身边的一位很值得我们敬佩的人呢?他在课上给我们讲做人的道理;在课后是我们的益友,如果同学遇到不明白的问题,她还会耐心地教导我们,没错,他就是我们的老师,“蜡烛时刻在提醒着我们,要处处为他人着想。”这也许是老师常说的吧!

一年了,老师曾为了我们掉过多少“珍珠”?而我们呢?却时常惹她生气,心中真是难过,也很后悔:我,一名中学生,没有全身心地努力。老师,我想对您说:“您为我们操劳,任劳任怨;您带我们进入知识的海洋,在那里遨游,使我们懂得书中的乐趣;您精心备课,与我们一起品味书中美妙的午餐;您如好朋友似的关切我们;是您,是您,还是您!您像一根红烛,为后辈奉献出所有的光和热!您的品质和精神,可以用两个字来形容那就是——燃烧!不停的燃烧!您像一只会说话的小鸟,来为我们讲课,是那么得丰富多彩,每一个章节都仿佛在我面前打开了一扇窗户,让我看到了一个斑斓的新世界……

老师谢谢您!

篇5:放松英语作文初中

全文共 1100 字

+ 加入清单

What does it mean to relax?Despite hearing this term thousands of times

during the course of our lives, very few people have deeply considered what it’s

really about.

When you ask people (which I have done many times) what it means to relax,

most will answer in a way that suggests that relaxing is something you plan to

do lateryou do it on vacation, in a hammock, when you retire, or when you get

everything else done. This implies, of course, that most other times should be

spent nervous, agitated, rushed, and frenzied. Very few actually come out and

say so, but this is the obvious implication.Could this explain why so many of us

operate as if life were one great big emergency?

It is useful to think of relaxation as a quality of heart that you can

access on a regular basis rather than something reserved for some later time.

You can relax now. It’s helpful to remember that relaxed people can still be

superachievers and, in fact, that relaxation and creativity go hand in hand.When

I’m feeling uptight, for example, I don’t even try to write. But when I feel

relaxed, my writing flows quickly and easily.

全文共 2935 字

+ 加入清单

英语作文怎么写?写不好作文是很多初中生存在的问题。而作文是初中英语考试的重要内容,怎么才能写一篇高分英语作文呢?下面是星火小编给大家总结的一些英语写作经验,大家可以看看。

要写好作文,首先要写好开头,怎么写开头呢?下面是一些不同的开头表达方式,大家可以参考看看。

“开门见山”式开头

即要用简单明了的语言引出文章的话题,使人一开始就能了解文章要说明的内容。

①.对于叙事类的文章,可以在开头把人物、时间、事件和环境交代清楚。

如“A Trip to Huangshan(黄山之旅)”的开头就可以是:Last month, my family went to Huangshan by train. It took us ten hours to get there. What a long and tiring journey! We were tired but the beautiful scenery excited us.

②.对于论述性的文章,可以在开头处先阐明自己的观点,接着展开进一步的论述。

如“The Time and the Money(时间和金钱)”的开头可以是:Most people say that money is more important than time. But I don’t think so. First, when money is used up, you can earn it back,but?

这样就将自己想要谈到的话题表达清楚了,接下来再继续论述就可以了。

回忆性开头

在描述事件或游记类的文章中,采用回忆性的开头往往更能吸引人的眼球。这种类型的开头中通常含有描述自己心情或情绪的词汇,如never forget (永远无法忘记), remember (记得),unforgettable (难以忘怀的), exciting(令人激动的),surprising(令人惊讶的), sad (难过的)……如“A Trip to Huangshan(黄山之旅)”的开头还可以这样写:I will never forget my first trip to Huangshan. 或It was really an unforgettable experience I had.

疑问性开头

在叙事类或论述性的文章中,都可采用疑问型开头,这样既可以吸引阅卷者的注意又容易抓住中心。

如“Planting Trees(种树)”的开头可以是:Have you ever planted trees? Don’t you think planting trees is ……

再如“Traveling Abroad(出国之旅)”的开头可以是:If you have an opportunity to travel abroad, why not consider Singapore?

倒叙式开头

在有的文章,特别是叙事类的文章中,可以采用倒叙的写作手法,先写出事件的结果,再陈述过程。

如“Catching Thieves (捉贼)”的开头可以这样写:I lay in bed in the hospital. I smiled at my friends even though my legs hurt. Do you want to know what happened to me? Let me tell you. It’s a … story.

倒叙式的写法有一些难写,并且在写作过程中很有可能出现时态混淆的问题,在此建议大家在写作过程中尽量不要倒叙式的方式,避免犯错。

开了一个好头之后,当然要开始写文章的主体部分了,那就是文章的正文。

文章的正文应以文章的开头为线索,具体地叙述、说明或论证文章的主题。文章不论长短,每个段落都必须为主题服务。像说明文和议论文这一类的文章,一个主题还常分成几个小主题,每个小主题要用一个段落处理,另起一段时,应是一层新的意思。每一段的开头,要放一个表示段落小主题的主题句,这样可使文章条理化,易于阅读,便于读者抓住主题。段内的所有句子应围绕主题句的意义加以阐述或论证,为中心思想服务。句子之间应衔结自然,有条不紊,而且还要合乎逻辑,段落中不能出现任何与主题无关的句子;英语写作比较重视主题句的作用,缺少它段落意义就会含糊不清。主题句也可放在段落的中间和末尾等部位,但对初学者来说,以放在段首为好。

在记叙文中,段的结构有时可以很简单,不需要有主题句,叙事一气呵成,中途没有停顿。段与段之所以分开,只是为了起修辞作用,以便把某一细节置于显著的地位。

分段是文章组织上重要的一步,在写一篇文章的时候,一般都会将文章分为3段,第一段也就是文章的开头,第二段是主体部分,第三段自然就是结尾了。当然也可以分成4段等,不管怎么分段,都请大家要记住,在写一篇作文的时候,一定不可以不分段。

接下来就是文章的结尾了,以下是一些写好结尾的方法

1.自然结尾,点明主题。随着文章的结束,文章自然而然地结尾。

如“Helping the Policeman(帮助警察)”的结尾可以是:The two children were praised by the police and they felt happy.

再如“The Tortoise and the Hare(龟兔赛跑)”的结尾可以是:When the hare got to the tree, the tortoise had already been there。

2.首尾呼应,升华主题。在文章的结尾可以用含义较深的话点明主题,深化主题,起到“画龙点睛”的效果。

如“I Love My Hometown(我爱家乡)”的结尾可以是:I love my hometown, and I am proud of it.

3.反问结尾,引起深思。这种方式的结尾虽然形式是问句,但意义却是肯定的,而且具有一定的强调作用,可引起他人的深思。

如 “Learning English can Give us a Lot of Pleasure (学英语能为我们带来许多乐趣)” 的结尾可以是:If we learn English well, we can …Don’t you think learning English is great fun?

4.表达祝愿,阐述愿望

这种方式的结尾常出现在书信或演讲稿的文体中,表示对他人的祝福或对将来的展望等。

如“A Letter to the Farmers(给农民们的一封信)”的结尾可以是:I hope the farmers’life will be better and better. 另外,书信的结尾常有以下形式的祝福语:Best wishes;I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year;I wish you have a good time等。

第四种方法在中考作文中并不会太常用到,中考作文一般都不会要求写关于书信方面的文章,大家可以只是稍加了解。

The Dragon Boat Festival is a lunar (阴历)holiday, occurring (存正)on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month (农历史五月第五天)

The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is a significant (有意义的)holiday celebrated (庆祝)in China, and the one with the longest history (历史最悠久). The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated by boat races (龙舟赛) in the shape of dragons. Competing teams (竞争团队) row their boats forward to a drumbeat (击古)racing to reach the finish end first.

The boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are traditional customs (传统习俗)to attempts to (试图)rescue (搭救) the patriotic poet (爱国诗人)Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan drowned (溺死) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C. Chinese citizens now throw bamboo leaves (竹叶) filled with cooked rice into the water. Therefore the fish could eat the rice rather than the hero poet. This later on turned into the custom of eating tzungtzu and rice dumplings(棕子).

The celebrations is a time for protection (防护) from evil (邪恶) and disease (疾病) for the rest of the year. It is done so by different practices such as hanging healthy herbs on the front door, drinking nutritious concoctions (营养品), and displaying (展示) portraits (画像) of evils nemesis(邪恶报应), Chung Kuei. If one manages to (成功做...) stand (直立)an egg on its end at exactly 12:00 noon, the following year will be a lucky one.
