Yes, water pollution is increasing.Look! The water in the river is getting dirtier and dirtier. Most of fish in the water have died, and we cant swim in the water. My grandfather says, when he was very little, the water in the river was very clean. He often swam in the river with his friends. That was before, but now we cant see such clean rivers. Lets protect the water from pollution, because we cant live without water. The water is really important to us all.2.元旦英语作文（初中） January 1st is New Years Day. Its a great day for all the people throughout the world. As the saying goes, A good beginning is half the battle. So, many people go all out to celebrate the important day. On that day, I went to the Book City with my classmates. We bought a lot of useful reference books and interesting story books. I believe Knowledge is power. I hope I can learn a lot from these books and improve my study. In the evening, my family had a big dinner party. All the members in my family wished me a good luck in the new year.3.关于时间的英语作文 初中英语作文We often hear the sayingTime is money.But I think time is much more precious than money.Because If we lost time, we cant find it.But We can try to woke harder to get more money.No matter whatever you do ,you can not get lost time back.Time flies.time and tides wait for no men.You can see how important time is.Lunxun had saidI spent the time on my work while others are havig coffee.We must make good use of our time,especially for our students,we shouldnt waste time in playing games and the like.4.初中英语作文 My friend (我的朋友)I have many friends. One of them is my classmate Ma Hua.He is a League member and one of the best students in my class.He is fond of English and good at it. He often practises reading aloud. So he has a good pronunciation.He is always ready to help others. With his help I have made great progress. I have made up my mind to catch up with him and to join the League in the near future.5.初中英语作文 水Water is very important to us. If you dont have water for three days, you will die. We can use water for flowers, swimming, washing and many different things. We use it to cook, make electricity, put out fires and so on. We use millions of liters of water every day.Do you know how does the water come to your home? It travels through water pipes. Some are long and wide but some are short and narrow. Then the water travels through the water pipes to the reservoirs. Then it travels through the water pipes to the river and to the special factories (we call water plants) that purify the water. When the water is purified, we can drink it. Please dont leave garbage in the water on which we line, and keep the water clean.6.关于读书的英语作文If we have a book ,we will not be felling of being longlyWhen Im free or in trouble, I always take out a book and read quietly. In no time, Ive put my heart into it so that Ill forget all the troubles. Its in this way that Ive formed the habit of reading in any time.Little boys as I was, I was interest in picture books and storybooks. I was struck by them. No sooner had I entered the middle school than I began to read novel, plays, essays and so on. I found I could get much from them. Little by little I took great interest in literature and last term I won the first prize in the composition contest among middle-school students in Zhe Jiang.Reading “The Emperors New Clothes”, I had to let out a burst of laughter over his fool. “The Little Match Girl” couldnt keep me from crying for her misery. “ Robinson Crusoe” took me into a strange world full of danger. And I was also deeply impressed by Helen Kellers patience and perseverance Besides these, books also tell me other thing -how to be a man and how to tell the difference between right and wrong. In a word, good books can make me know what I didnt before. So I think of a good book as my best friend.7.MY AIM 我的志向Whatever a mans status is (may be), he must have an aim. If not, he can hardly stand on his own two feet in the world. That stands to reason.However important fame and wealth may be, we must not let them become our object in life. We should aim at doing something useful to the society.If my aim can come true, I hope (wish) to be a teacher. However, teaching is by no means an easy thing. I must apply myself closely to my studies so as to be able to cope with my duties (as a teacher).8.TO BE PATIENT 要忍耐When someone disagrees with you or offends you, dont lose your temper. Why? Because it is of no use to do so. You ought to (should) be patient and keep calm lest you should quarrel with him. You must know that patience is not cowardice, but a virtue. I hope that everybody practices it.In addition, patience will also bring us success. When you meet with difficulties in your work, it is no use losing heart. You must keep on fighting until (till) the final victory belongs to you.9.WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY 有志者事竟成The secret of success (The key to success) is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win (get) the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure.It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing (nothing difficult) in the world. if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.10.CHOOSING FRIENDS 选择朋友A man who is careful in choosing friends will certainly derive benefit from them. Why? Because there are more false friends than real ones in this world. To have one real friends is better than a hundred false ones. Friends who flatter you to your face are not true friends.We must make friends with those who have good character and kindness of heart. On the other hand, we should do our best to a void keeping company with bad people.清华大学英语系测试：为中小学生英语量身定做.官方网站： 清华大学英语教授50年研究成果初一英语第一学期期末考试试卷I. 听力测试（共20小题，每题1分，满分为20分。） 听对话，选图画 下面有5段对话。每段对话听两遍，听完以后，从A、B、C三幅图画中选出能回答所提问题的一幅，将答案填在右边的方框内。 听对话，选答案 请听对话。每段对话听两遍，然后根据所提的问题，从三个选项中选出最佳答案，并将其填在右边的方框内。 6.
