英语短文初三篇一:初三年级英语短文
材料10篇
1. Food safety is very important to us. How can we make food safe? Here’s some advice.
First, we shouldn’t go out to eat fast food often.
Second, we should make food clean before cooking. Remember to boil food.
Third, we should buy and eat food carefully. If the food is in bags, we should read instructions and dates carefully. Make sure the food is safe
Recently, however, reports about food problems have often been seen in the newspapers, showing that people have always been worried about what they eat every day. The reason for this problem is that some of the food producers are too fond of making money, leading to the result that they use whatever will make the food look good or taste better without considering the bad consequences(后果). This is not normal because people just cannot live without eating anything.
So we should take all the measures(措施)necessary to forbid the food producers to make food that is not safe enough. Laws should be strengthened(加强)and the government should have more control over these producers. Only when people are no longer worried about whether their food is safe or not can they enjoy a better life.
2. London , England, a capital city full of art and history. An important political(政治的)center. A huge financial(金融的)market place. With the clap and laughter flying around, London is the winner in the 30th International Olympic Games’ competition. Summer Olympic Games in London is by far the highest number of host cities.
In consideration of London’s success, there are three points cannot
be ignored(无视). As is known to all, London is a garden city. When you step into the city, you will find yourself deeply attracted by the beautiful surroundings(事物) around.
Moreover, there are lots of standard(标准的)stadiums(体育场) and gymnasiums(体育馆)for Olympic Games, such as the swimming pools, football playground and basketball gyms. In addition, several years ago, London used to successfully hold an Olympic Game. Owning this cherish(珍爱)experience, London will surely hold a more wonderful one. Generally speaking, Olympic is not only a simple sport, but another name for sports spirit as well. In London, exercising has become a hobby in every child’s heart.
So in the end, London became the holder for 2012 Olympic Game.
3. With the rapid(迅速的)development of economy(经济), during recent years, more and more families can afford cars. Besides the benefits(津贴), cars have also brought some problems to people’s life, such as drunk drinking. One of the major reasons for drunk driving is some people's lack of safety awareness(意识), a lot of them know little about traffic regulations and pay no attention to the consequences of breaking traffic rules. Another important reason is there is not strong enough law enforcement(强制). Many drunken drivers may escape punishment in some way.
Drunk driving causes injuries and even death; it may also cause the drunk drivers to be fined, even go to prison(监狱).
In my opinion, it is necessary to ban on drinking while driving, and this will do good to not only other people but also the drinker himself. First, we must make posters and signs reminding people that it is wrong to drink and drive and it is also not healthy to drink at all. Second, People love money, we could fine drunk drivers much more
money. Finally, we can promulgate(公布)the drunk driver’s name. People always care about their honor, so it will be a very useful way to stop them from drunk driving. Don't drink and drive, so this society will be better.
4. Every year a lot of people got injured or died in traffic accidents. It is reported that many accidents resulted from people’s breaking of traffic rules. So it is necessary for all to keep the traffic rules in mind and obey them strictly. Now I talk about what I know.
When one crosses the street, one should take the crosswalk, underground passage or pedestrian(行人)overpass. If one is riding a bike or motorcycle, keep riding on the right side of the road. When the red light is on, please stop and wait until the green light is on. Give a hand signal(信号)if one wants to turn or stop. It is important to let the children know that playing on the road is very dangerous. Helping the aged and children cross the road is always a kind deed.
Next, I want to tell you about my opinions. We should do many things like paying attention to traffic safety, punishing the offenders.
If everyone obeys the traffic rules, it will be much safer to walk or ride on the road.
5. With the development of the Internet and the popularization of computers, shopping on the Internet has become a commonplace in our life. Here consumers can buy almost everything they need.
Shopping on the Internet has a lot of advantages, of which the most important is perhaps its convenience. People don’t have to waste a lot of their energy and time to go from one shop to another to choose the commodities (商品期货)they like. This is especially desirable(令人向往的)to the old, the sick and the busy people who
cannot go to the shops in person. The goods come in all shapes, sizes and colors on the Internet. All they need to do is to sit in front of their computers and click the mouses.
However, shopping on the Internet also has its disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that the consumers can’t see the goods or try them on personally. Sometimes, the real goods may not be the same as what they have seen on the computer. The second is that some shops on the Internet are not registered(注册的). They will never deliver(传送)anything to you after they get the money from you.
6. When you speak, or write a letter, or make a telephone call,your words carry a message. People communicate(交流)with the words. But do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No’. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes’. Other things can also carry message. For example, a sign at the bus helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door tells you where to go in or out. Do you notice that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time?
People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, the blue seas and many other things. Books can tell about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas.
Books, magazines, TVs, radios and films all help us communicate with others. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.
7. We can not live a modern life without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by air. With a plane one can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.
Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but one can see the country he is traveling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dinning—Cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable.
Some people like to travel by sea when possible. There are large luxury liners(客轮)or river boats. They are not as fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. They can make their own timetable. They can travel hundreds of miles or only fifty miles a day, just as their 0wish.They can stop wherever they want to see something interesting or to enjoy a good meal at a good restaurant, or to spend the night at a hotel. That is why people choose traveling by car for pleasant trips, while they usually take trains or planes for business.
8. American eating is funny. They eat almost everything with a fork, and it appears that holding a knife in one's right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners.
The system is that if it is necessary to use a knife, people take the fork in their left hand, and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the normal manner. if it is not absolutely(完全地)necessary to use a knife, Americans don't use one. Second, towards the end of a course, since only one implement(器具) is being used, food has to do chased around the plate with the fork - and for the last mouthful the

参考答案
解答:阅读题对于初学者来说略有困难。学生希望直接从文章中找到答案。有的题可以但有的题却不能。这篇文章介绍的是一幅画。没有提到房间是Betty的,但所介绍的物品与她有关,故房间是Betty的。
1、答案为It's Betty's.
2、文章的第二句表明房间小,故答案为It's small.
3、墙上除了有英国地图外,旁边还有一张照片,故答案为There is a map of England and a photo.
4、文章没有说花在桌子上,但钟在桌子上,花在它的旁边,当然花在桌子上,故答案为They're on the table.
5、文章也没讲Betty的帽子是什么颜色,但把床上的帽子误认为黑色的猫。由此可见她的帽子是黑色的,故答案为It's black.

范文:怎样学习英语 How to study English? 作文一:
Study English,You do need to use English with speakers who are not teachers of English. This isn't easy,since everyone feels constrained speaking English with friends with whom it would be natural to use a shared mother tongue. Joining an English Club is a good idea and joining a club with an international membership (where English is in use at least some of the time) is,for many people,even better. If nothing like this is accessible,you might consider what would be involved in getting something going.
你需要常常和英语教师以外的人士用英语交谈。这当然很不容易,因为与母语相同的人自由交谈时,彼此若用英语交谈总会觉得很不自在。亦可参加英语俱乐部或国际会员的俱乐部(至少有时使用英语沟通),这样对很多人而言更有益。如果没有合适的社团可加入,也不妨考虑任何足以提高英语能力的机会。 作文二:
There are four key points to study English:listening,speaking,reading and writing. Firstly,we should be brave to talk with others in English. By doing this,we can improve ore talking and listening skill.
Secondly,we should try to listen to all kinds of English programmes as much as possible. In this way,we can gradually improve our pronunciation.
Thirdly,we should often read English books. When we come across a new word. We should guess its meaning through the contest first. then look it up in the dictionary to have a check. I thin,it is a good way of reading.
Fourthly,we should practice our writing skills. Whenever we have any idea,we should get the pen and write it down at once. It is very important to avoid writing in Chinese way and using the Chinese grammar.
As long as we listen,speak,read and write more,we are sure to make remarkable progress! 初中英语写作范文集锦 [三]It is my honor to show you around,and now I will introduce something about our study.
