The monitor is the "boss" of our class and the teacher's favorite student. The monitor has a black curls, a round face, a pair of beautiful eyebrows and big watery eyes. Zhang Tiantian is glib and has two shallow dimples when he smiles. How cute! The monitor is not tall and often wears a white sportswear. He looks energetic! Because the monitor is short and round, many female students in the class call her "Maruko".
The monitor has a lot to admire, but what I admire most is her spirit of helping others.
I remember that time, the two of us went home together after school, and we walked home together, talking and laughing, holding bicycles. On the way. When we were talking about honey pomelo lanterns, we saw a little girl of seven or eight years old sitting on one side of the bridge. The little girl sat on the ground, pale and full of crystal tears. When we take a closer look, the little girl's feet are bleeding, and bright red blood oozes from her feet, dyeing her whole foot red. There are many people around, but no one wants to help her.
At this moment, Joline gave me her schoolbag and asked me to hold it for her. Then she strode to the little girl, pressed the wound with a tissue, wiped the blood next to her, helped her get on the bike and took her to a small clinic nearby.
2. Write a composition about the masses, without gorgeous background or any computer art treatment. This is the most common and vivid photo. The three grandparents and grandchildren in the photo are happily surrounded together. Do you want to look elsewhere after reading it? Look how happy they are!
The kind old man in the photo is my grandmother. She is very popular and very frugal. Grandma is very frugal with herself, but there is one thing in my heart that proves her generosity. Grandma's nursing home donated materials to the disaster area. Without saying anything, she donated all the new clothes that her mother bought for her that she didn't want to wear at ordinary times. I was surprised, but my grandmother said, "I am a retired national cadre." I can't wear so many clothes, and the people in the disaster area need it more. " My grandmother is famous for her frugality. She is very generous to me. Every winter, she personally chooses the finest satin fabric to make me a cotton-padded jacket, but she always wears that white cotton-padded jacket. You see, in the photo, I snuggled up in my grandma's arms in my new cotton-padded jacket made by grandma, and I smiled so sweetly! I will never forget that day. It was New Year's Day, when I was five years old. Because grandma doesn't like taking pictures, this is the only picture of me and her.
Last winter, grandma, who had been healthy, fell ill. On the day I entered the operating room, I was catching up with the exam. I heard my mother say: grandma entered the operating room with this photo and my note full of blessings in her hand. The doctor refused to bring anything else, and grandma refused to live. She said to the doctor, "This is my grandson. He is obedient and sensible! Children let me take this, he will accompany me, let me be brave and strong ... "The doctor relented. In this way, this photo accompanied grandma to finish the operation.
The last time I saw my grandmother, she was admitted to the intensive care unit after the operation. The doctor refused to let me in. I cried and said to menstruation, "Just let me go in and have a look. I just joined the Young Pioneers today, and it's good that my grandmother knows that I'm happy, otherwise I'll be distracted in class ... "So I went in and saw my grandmother so thin, full of pipes and so pale. When she saw me, she said with great difficulty, "Good grandson, study hard." I fought back my tears and saw this photo again at her bedside.
Later, I never saw my grandmother again, and I really missed her. However, no matter where I am, with this photo, I will not be lonely.
3. The composition about an activity should describe an unforgettable activity with people and people respectively.
On that day, HongLing hung high; On that day, colorful flags fluttered; On that day, the hero appeared; That day, the party remembered it. That day, I can't forget-the party is 90 years old!
That morning, our school held an exciting theme group meeting on the playground, "The Party is the sunshine, I am the flower". With the careful preparation of teachers and classmates, the brigade meeting kicked off. In the applause, the host invited the leaders to sit down with a beautiful voice. First, a solemn flag-raising ceremony was held. After the ceremony, the brigade will officially begin.
The first program is "We will never forget" recited by me and five other primary school students. I was wearing a blue skirt, standing under the stage, my heart was pounding, and I couldn't help looking at the leaders sitting in front. They are all smiling and affable. As soon as I turned around, I saw our instructor give me an encouraging look. I calm down and have confidence in myself: I must recite it well, and I can recite it well! The magnificent symphony music sounded, and we ran to the center of the stage and quickly set the designated shape. The music slowed down, and we stood up slowly with the music one by one, reciting the lines we had already memorized while walking. At this moment, our voice spread all over the campus and echoed over the campus for a long time; At this moment, it seems that the lines are not assigned to us, but come from us, from the hearts of the teachers and students of the whole school; At this moment, in music, we felt the great humiliation suffered by China in those difficult years, the breath of spring sown to China by the establishment of * * *, and the glorious experience and immortal achievements of * * * ... Unconsciously, the music stopped and we also finished reciting. Amid stormy applause, we closed.
Next, we enjoyed party member's parents telling us about their experiences, which made us feel how warm the party's nurturing grace is; Enjoy all the heroic stories-Liu Hulan, who would rather die than surrender, died bravely, Wang Erxiao, who was resourceful, and Lei Feng, who died serving the people. These unyielding images will always be engraved in our hearts; Red began to sing, and songs such as "Always Ready", "Sparkling Red Star" and "Without * * *, there would be no new China" were full of our deep affection for the Party. Presenting gifts to the party, calligraphy, handwritten newspapers and picture scrolls are really wonderful, and the students in Grade One are even more childlike. The wonderful program is full of students' passion for the party and the motherland, which pushes the atmosphere to * * *. HongLing flies, flying red years; The sun shines, giving off golden light; Flowers are in full bloom, showing great vitality; Teachers and students sing about loving the Party. Celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Party-this is really an unforgettable activity for me! We will always listen to the party, study hard, pursue progress, strive to be four good teenagers and make the party and the country proud of us.
Writing with people's simplicity is the cradle of talents and the second place besides home.
When people mention campus, they often think of the sound of books, students' attention in class and teachers' expressions. However, my ideal campus is different. It carries the laughter of students and is filled with the happiness of teachers and students.
You can see the golden light of the morning sun and the afterglow of the sunset everywhere. The campus is beautiful, just like a garden. There are a group of kind teachers who like to smile and always smile. They won't scold you, they won't beat you and they won't invite their parents.
They will be very persuasive in class and treat you as a friend. Working with you and helping you share your worries has a special way to make you fall in love with learning.
There are a group of loyal friends who won't betray, speak ill of you and do anything with teachers. They are all the most virtuous, friendly and easy-going students, humble, polite, friendly and lovely.
There are no shortcomings, which makes you feel happy to be friends with them. The ideal campus can be different. It carries the laughter of students and is filled with the happiness of teachers and students.
I love the campus, which has trained generations of students. My campus life is students' independent study, not teachers' indoctrination on the platform.
Is there a teacher in that position? The teacher's role is of course to remind and guide the maze, and of course there is vital supervision. So what do students do? Besides studying, what's different? Students' learning is no longer the teacher's traction learning, but autonomous learning. Courses are no longer bounded, topics are learned by themselves, and interests are the main ones.
Let students' exploration and innovation be fully tapped. Maybe you want to say, what if students just watch the school and do nothing? Then the teacher will be useful! The teacher sent the students back to the classroom and returned to the exam-oriented education. I believe that smart students know what is wise! Campus is not only a garden for learning, but also a place for spreading culture and entertainment.
The school has a movie night every Tuesday night, which allows students to watch movies as film critics. There is a chef talent contest every two weeks. Students should learn how to create their own signs when tasting food.
There are classes every day to enrich students' knowledge. There is a science and technology culture festival every month, which brings science and technology and culture together on the stage and allows students to show their monthly exploration.
Rich entertainment programs, campus life will no longer be monotonous. Every semester, students' academic performance is voted by students, commented by teachers, and awarded campus semester awards. There are generous prizes to encourage students to make persistent efforts.
Does my ideal campus life excite you? Let's try our best to turn this ideal life into a real life and make it possible to realize our dreams.
How to write an essay with the theme of people's sense of security and satisfaction requires the ancients to leave many thought-provoking famous sayings in about 400 words, such as "an inch of time and an inch of gold can't buy an inch of time", "nothing is difficult in the world, but it is impossible for a willing mind" and "many things grind" ... However, my favorite sentence is "modesty"
I remember when I was in the third grade, I wrote a composition entitled "One thing I want" and gave it to the teacher for correction. The teacher said to me happily, "Your composition is not bad! If there is progress, we must continue to work hard in the future! " I also posted my composition on the wall, and the teacher repeatedly told me, "Don't be complacent when you get good grades, but keep a modest attitude."
However, I don't quite understand this sentence. I told my mother about it, and my mother praised me and told me, "Be modest, don't be proud." .
I was so excited that what my mother just said went in one ear and out the other. So I became proud, thinking: the "guy" of composition actually has nothing to be afraid of, and I can cope with it at once.
From then on, my heart was full of pride, I didn't like reading, I didn't pay attention to lectures in class, and my writing was not good ... Once in a composition class, the teacher asked us to write a composition. I thought, "I wrote my first composition so well, and this time it's nothing", so I wrote a composition casually and handed it in.
As a result, I was called to the office by the teacher. The teacher said to me seriously, "Look at your own composition? I can't understand it. Can you understand your composition? Tell me. " I looked down at my composition. I was blindsided and thought: Is this my composition? Unexpectedly, even you can't understand it yourself ... The teacher added: "Your composition is really bad, and the central idea is not clear;" A misspelled word; The sentence is not fluent, alas ... you, I praise you, so proud.
I hope you study hard and improve your writing ability. Now the teacher can't give me a famous saying-'Modesty makes people progress, pride makes people lag behind' …… "After I went home, I wrote the famous words given by the teacher on cardboard and put them in front of my desk as a motto to spur myself. Since then, I have listened carefully to classes, read various books and practiced my handwriting every day.
"Modesty makes people progress, pride makes people lag behind", which has become my motto and will always spur me.
In life, people need to care about each other. Care is a virtue. Care about others and be happy with yourself.
In a cold wind whistling and snowflakes flying in winter, the ground was covered with ice, and I walked carefully on my way home from school. An old lady next to me walked on the ice like me, but accidentally stepped on the banana skin on the ground and fell to the ground: sitting on the ground with her hands propped up. She has a painful expression on her face. I hurried over, helped her up and asked her if it hurt. Help her pick up what fell to the ground. She said kindly, "Little girl." "You're welcome." I smiled and said, "Be careful when you walk in the future." The old lady smiled at me and left slowly. Looking at her distant back, my heart is full of joy, but also a little angry. When I am happy, I am angry that people throw rubbish at the old lady. So I hurried.
What is "caring for others and being happy with yourself"! I finally realized it myself, and I also called on people not to litter. Let love bloom in every corner of the world! I believe that under the sky of love, the world will be better!
7. To do practical things for the masses with the sonorous pace of accelerating development and building a happy Ziyang, and adhering to the concept that "people's livelihood is a major event, and ordinary people's affairs are no trivial matters", Ziyang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government attach great importance to people's livelihood work, always adhere to the fundamental orientation of people's livelihood, hold the interests of the masses above their heads, focus on safeguarding and improving people's livelihood, and strive to achieve, safeguard and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. Let the people enjoy the happiness of Ziyang's construction achievements, hand over a warm "people's livelihood answer sheet", engrave the capitalized "people's livelihood" on Ziyang's land and leave it in the hearts of ordinary people.
People's livelihood is connected with people's hearts. Ziyang's vivid practice of paying attention to and improving people's livelihood has profoundly interpreted our party's ruling philosophy of "building the party for the public and governing for the people", earnestly practiced the people-oriented Scientific Outlook on Development, effectively improved the happiness index of the broad masses, warmed the people's hearts, condensed the people's hearts and inspired the people's strength.
Today, Ziyang people are proud of "Happy Ziyang". The road is blue, and achievements are gratifying.
Taking stock of Ziyang's mental journey of improving people's livelihood in recent years, a magnificent and warm picture of people's livelihood is slowly unfolding before people's eyes ... Poverty alleviation action-for the sunshine of more than 300,000 rural poor villagers in early summer, it shines into Yu Xingfu's red brick and black tile new house and hits the old man's vicissitudes and peaceful face; His wife, Jiang Zuqun, looks after two grandchildren who are playing with each other, and her heart is full of sweet ... what a harmonious picture of the farmhouse. Yu Xingfu, who is over eighty years old, is a poor household in Liyu Village, Qingshui Township, Yanjiang District. He has been blind for many years. His wife Jiang Zuqun is 70 years old and has a disabled leg; My son died of brain cancer, and my mentally retarded daughter-in-law left home alone with two children under 3 years old. The two old people live together with their two young grandchildren, and life is very difficult.
On May 23, 2009, Li Jia, secretary of Ziyang Municipal Party Committee, who had just been in office for more than a month, immediately went to visit the Yu family after learning about their situation. In front of the shabby hut, she held the old man's hand tightly and said with tears, "Old man, you have worked hard. The party and * * * will definitely help you!" Playing the floor, full of passion for the field, helped the Yu family quickly and immediately: on June 20, the new house was completed; On July 9, the Yu family moved to a new house, and the relevant departments also sent bedding, wardrobe, two piglets and feed. Subsequently, the two old people went to the subsistence allowance, and the two little grandchildren were included in the rural five guarantees as special care recipients.
Taking the opportunity of solving the difficulties of Yu Xingfu's family, Ziyang, the district and the township cooperated to help the whole carp village get rid of poverty. In just two months, the carp village has taken on a new look, and more than 900 villagers are beaming ... In Ziyang rural areas, it is not only the Yu Xingfu family but also the carp village that feels this new change. Facing the grim reality of 97 poverty-stricken villages and 385,000 rural poor people, and in line with their earnest expectation of getting rid of poverty and living a better life, ziyang Municipal Committee * * * stood at the strategic height of vigorously improving people's livelihood and realizing common prosperity, and started with solving the most direct, realistic and urgent problems of the people, put rural poverty alleviation work on the important agenda, and borrowed and improved the assistance model of carp village. Taking the "Three Villages Poverty Alleviation Action" of leading villages, departments helping villages and cadres residing in villages as the carrier, we will quickly start to implement the rural poverty alleviation action plan, and strive to make the poor people in 97 poverty alleviation villages in the city achieve "five obvious improvements" in their living standards, production conditions, home travel, health status and ability to get rich in two years.
On August 2 1 2009, marked by the convening of the mobilization meeting of the whole city to implement the 2009-20 10 rural poverty alleviation action plan, with 97 poor villages as the focus, Ziyang kicked off the tough battle against rural poverty and officially declared war on rural poverty. 37 municipal leaders took the lead in setting an example.
Each municipal leading cadre takes the lead in contacting more than two poor villages, and all the 97 poor villages in the city are assisted by municipal leaders. Since the launch of the "Three Villages Poverty Alleviation Action", Li Jia has visited Satellite Village and Fang Jialin Village in Shipan Town, jianyang city for many times to investigate and guide, discuss with the local people the way to get rid of poverty and get rich, guide the planning and construction of poverty alleviation projects, and help coordinate and solve the funding gap problem of poverty alleviation projects; Other city leaders also went deep into the poverty-stricken villages they contacted, helped make poverty alleviation plans, brought technical information, coordinated capital projects, and solved various difficulties and problems encountered in development.
More than 70 municipal-level assistance departments and 97 resident cadres quickly contacted the village to carry out their work. The requirements for them are clear and specific: never decouple before completing the task of helping! On March 20 10, the activities of "leaders hanging points, departments contracting villages and cadres helping households" were launched in the whole province, and the contact scope, contact objects and contact contents were further expanded. More than 780 municipal leading cadres, more than 350 municipal departments and more than 6,400 party member cadres below the department level actively participated in the activities, which set off a new upsurge of poverty alleviation.
Leading cadres at all levels take the initiative to go deep into the countryside with feelings and responsibilities, giving projects, funds and technology; Village cadres and villagers live together day and night, sharing weal and woe, solving various practical problems for the masses, and effectively promoting the development of poor villages ... On May 12,1day, Ziyang Municipal Committee held a working meeting on "poverty alleviation in rural areas" and a new round of "three villages poverty alleviation action", and newly appointed1day. Taking this as a starting point, party member cadres of various organs in the city adopted "one-on-one" and "many-on-one" methods to directly contact and help the needy people, and the rural poverty alleviation action was further promoted.
By the end of 20 1 1, Ziyang had invested 43 1 10,000 yuan in poverty alleviation funds, and the construction of new poverty alleviation villages was smoothly promoted, the backward appearance was obviously improved, and more than 50,000 rural low-income people were lifted out of poverty, initially achieving the goal of "five obvious improvements". Major livelihood projects-let the well-being of people's livelihood "take root" In the early summer night, the cool breeze blows gently and the lights are on. The citizens' cultural and leisure corridor on Taiyang Road on the Jiuqu River in Yancheng is very lively.
Dancers dance to the music, fitness enthusiasts dance to the beat, and the elderly stroll here leisurely ... Since the demonstration section of Jiuqu River Comprehensive Improvement Project, Jiuqu River Square and Taiyang Road Cultural and Leisure Corridor were put into use, they have become a good place for citizens to relax. Ms. Zhang, who lives in Huanglong Community, deeply felt: "I never dreamed that such a beautiful promenade would be built in such a shabby place two years ago. Now, when I leave home, I have a place to dance. "
8. People's livelihood essays always think that they have grown up, ignore their parents' nagging, and sometimes even retort, "I have grown up, and I will decide my own affairs, so you don't have to worry about it." But it was not until one day that I understood the word "responsibility". I know I am willful. I thought that leaving my parents to live an independent and free life in college and making my own decisions was not a sign of growing up at all, but a childish performance. Proper growth means that you know what your responsibility is to your family and the whole society.
As a man, it is a man's responsibility to shoulder the heavy responsibility of family life, while as a woman, it is a woman's responsibility to keep the family in good order and make the family have harmonious conditions. I used to think that I would throw my dirty clothes to my mother and put on my mother's clean clothes, and someone would give them to me if I had no money. But until one day, I felt that my mother was not so neat when washing clothes, and my waist was not so straight when my father walked, and my heart suddenly hurt. I asked myself what I had done to this family. I ate my parents' bodies with my youth, but I knew nothing about it, and sometimes I used it. I began to think about what I should do for my family and parents. I should study hard and take over the burden of family life from my parents as soon as possible, which is a responsibility that a man must bear.
We are in a society and we have a responsibility to this society. Every one of us has been touched by the unusual winter that just passed! The sudden snowstorm plunged the south of China into the worst snow disaster in 50 years, but we didn't see the whine in this disaster, but we felt the warm current from the south. Our chairman and prime minister went to the front line to guide the fight against the snowstorm. Our people's soldiers are working day and night to repair roads and circuit facilities. Our electrician technicians climbed the tens of meters high frozen wire tower to repair the circuit. .......................................................................................................................... was moved. At the same time, I know that although I can't be like the heroes on the front line of fighting against the snowstorm now, what I should do is to study hard and contribute my strength to building our beautiful motherland. This is my responsibility and my responsibility to the society.
Responsibility makes me grow. My family and the society I live in need me to have this sense of responsibility. With this sense of responsibility, I should work hard.
9. Write a composition that describes * * * being honest with others. There must be five good sentences in 400 words. If there is a problem, it will be taught soon tomorrow.
Today, I want to talk to you about the topic of "sincerity".
No one in the world exists in isolation, and we all want to gain the trust of others. As a teacher, you should make friends with students and help them finish their studies. You are the boss, and you should work with the employees to tide over the difficulties and complete the task. As a leader, you must become one with the masses and benefit them ... In short, no matter what occupation you are engaged in, no matter when and where, you can't do without the word "sincerity".
What is sincerity? As the name implies, sincerity means being kind and honest to others, just as you want others to treat you. Don't say things you don't want to accept, and don't do things you don't want to accept. As long as you are honest with each other, you will certainly gain their trust and win success. This is a very precious truth of life.
Theodore roosevelt is one of the most popular presidents, even his slaves like him. One of his black slaves, James Ammers, wrote a book called theodore roosevelt, the hero of his servant. Now, let me tell two stories that he sincerely treats! Once, Mrs. Ames asked Roosevelt about the story of quail birds. She had never seen quails before, and she hoped President Roosevelt could describe them. President Roosevelt agreed. Shortly after Mrs. Ames came home, the phone rang. It's the president. He said there happened to be a quail bird outside her window. If she looks out, she will surely see it. President Roosevelt often returned to the White House after his term ended. On one occasion, it happened that President Tahut was absent. He greeted his old servants and called their names affectionately. Alice in the kitchen told him that the people upstairs didn't eat her bread. "Their taste is terrible!" Roosevelt said unfairly, "I'll tell the president." Alice brought him a piece of bread, and he ate it as he walked, greeting the gardener and the workers.
This is why people love President Roosevelt. How to make others like you is an eternal topic. As long as one treats others sincerely, others will treat you sincerely. This can establish good interpersonal relationships and lay a solid foundation for the cause.
2、
If you complain about the unfair fate, then you should think that the children of poor families are more bitter than you; If you think your parents are useless and can't make a lot of money, put yourself in their shoes. If you still think that learning is a burden, then look at how eager children in poor mountainous areas are to learn! If ... if you still agree that doing homework is very tiring, then you should understand that children in poor mountainous areas use bricks as exercise books.
Children now! I just want to play, and I don't pay attention to study at all. But think again: now that the social requirements have increased, how can we live without knowledge? ! Therefore, you must study hard when you are young, so as not to work hard when you are young and be sad when you are old!
Besides, we should face life with a tolerant, sincere and grateful heart instead of complaining about how bad life is. I remember Pushkin said: "If life deceives you, don't be depressed, believe it!" " ! Happy days will come! "Yes, everything should look on the bright side, I believe you will make progress! Come on! Don't let life discriminate against you! There are successes and failures on the road of life, and there are laughter and tears in life. We should face life with tolerance! I don't know when I will be blessed. Be a happy child!

I hope I can help you!
10. Write a composition on the topic of people who eat melon seeds.
Haha, today we are finally looking forward to eating in our happy composition class. We are all thinking, what delicious food will Teacher Jia bring us today? Everyone is speculating.
At the beginning of class, Teacher Jia came into the classroom and said to us, "Today we have something that everyone usually eats. Guess what it is? " It is hard to guess. We talked noisily, but no one guessed. So the teacher wrote a word "flower" and a cursive prefix on the blackboard. Ah, what is this? No way. Yes, lotus, so I shouted, "Lotus, it's lotus". Teacher Jia shook his head and said, "No". What is this? Teacher Jia wrote "sunflower seeds" on the blackboard again. Oh, it's melon seeds. None of us guessed.
The teacher divided us into groups of three, and each group was given a "Japanese jar", which is said to store melon seeds. So Teacher Jia gave us melon seeds, and then told us the purpose of melon seeds: melon seeds can be eaten as snacks and have high nutritional value. They can also extract oil and contain vitamin E, which has a cosmetic effect. It can enhance memory and treat hypertension and cancer. Looks like we need to eat more melon seeds.
The teacher gave us melon seeds with three flavors: original flavor, green tea flavor and five flavors. Let me take out an observation of the five flavors first: I am wearing black with some white stripes. Smell it. It smells good. My mouth is watering three times in thousands of feet! No, I can't take it anymore. A guy sat on the ground and ate it. "Oh, it's delicious," I shouted. It's like tasting a very delicious super good product. After eating five flavors, we ate the original flavor, that is, raw melon seeds, with a faint fragrance. We remember to help them find their mother-sunflower.
So we came to the sunflower field and saw their tall and straight bodies, about 1.7- 1.8 meters. Their stems are thick and they are not afraid of wind and rain. Their leaves are like umbrellas and their trays are like flying saucers. The teacher said that this thing is called a flowerpot, and melon seeds are hidden in it, but it is not mature yet. It's like a huge shower.
Back in the classroom, we ate all the melon seeds and put all the melon seeds into the "Japanese jar" according to the teacher's request. What does the teacher want with melon seeds? Is it because we eat melon seeds and Teacher Jia eats melon seeds? Hey! That's weird!
