高 分 作 文
高分作文一:
Last Saturday was a really terrible day for me. In the morning, I overslept because my alarm clock didn't ring. I quickly got dressed and rushed to the bus stop without having breakfast.
When I got to the bus stop, I found I had left my bus card at home. I was so worried. Then I decided to walk to the bookstore. On the way, it started to rain heavily. I got all wet.
When I finally arrived at the bookstore, it was closed. What a bad day!
上周六对我来说真是糟糕的一天。早上,我睡过头了,因为我的闹钟没响。我没吃早饭,迅速穿好衣服,匆忙赶往公交站。
当我到达公交站时,我发现我把公交卡忘在家里了。我非常着急。然后我决定步行去书店。在路上,开始下起大雨。我全身都湿透了。
当我终于到达书店时,它已经关门了。多么糟糕的一天啊!
高分作文二:
Last Sunday was an unforgettable day. I planned to go to the park with my friends. But in the morning, my mother asked me to do a lot of housework. I was a bit unhappy.
After finishing the housework, I hurried to the bus stop. However, the bus was full and I had to wait for the next one. When I got to the park, my friends had already been there for a long time.
Although I was late, we still had a great time together. It was a day with both trouble and joy.
上周日是难忘的一天。我计划和朋友们去公园。但早上,我妈妈让我做很多家务。我有点不开心。
做完家务后,我匆忙赶到公交站。然而,公交车上坐满了人,我不得不等下一辆。当我到达公园时,我的朋友们已经在那里等了很久了。
虽然我迟到了,但我们仍然一起玩得很开心。这是既有烦恼又有快乐的一天。
