A composition on the theme of love
Family topic composition 1 Every Saturday, my father will take me swimming in Shaoxing, but this Saturday, I understand his love.
It's so cold that I don't want to go swimming. Every time I come back from swimming, I am always as cold as that popsicle. On this day, I will go swimming with my father again. I reluctantly stayed in the warm bed and refused to get up. My father dragged me out of bed, and I grabbed the corner of the bed desperately, but I still couldn't beat him. I shouted out the sentence in the Analects of Confucius, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." He also shouted, "If you like swimming, go by yourself, but don't drag me."
I saw my father looking at me with wide eyes and saying, "Hey, did your boy learn to quote classics?" ? Today, I want to give something to others that you don't want others to do to you. Finish all your homework before three o'clock this afternoon, and then go swimming! "
Isn't this forced? The workload of homework alone is very heavy. I must finish it before three o'clock, and then go swimming. When will the review be completed? More and more I feel that my father is a little unreasonable.
I finished my homework after two in the afternoon. After reading the novel for a while, I found a humorous fragment and rushed to my parents' room to share my happiness with them. Just arrived at the door, I found a few pieces of purple and blue on my father's back. Like a guerrilla, I crept into bed and hid. I just listened to my father talking to himself. Listen. It turned out that my father was very busy recently, but he still took time to take me swimming in the cold swimming pool. In fact, my father doesn't want to go swimming with me on such a cold day. It's just that he said he would fight for my health for my poor health.
Hearing this, my nose hurts, and the image of my father is getting higher and higher in my heart.
It's still so cold, the cars on the road are not boring, and a line of geese pass by the window. Although nothing has changed, everything is full of warmth.
On this day, I read my father's deep and selfless book. But what I understand is only a small fragment in this book, and it needs me to taste it all my life.
Composition 2 on the topic of affection What is affection? Affection is a pot of delicious honey, which makes people memorable; Home is a warm big bed, and I don't want to leave every day; Affection is a perfect piece of paper, which makes people want to laugh in their sleep.
A can of delicious honey, regardless of success or failure, your family will always be on your side, giving you encouragement and confidence. Once I went to a recitation contest and was brushed off in the semi-final. I was disappointed, but my parents said calmly, "Whether you are a finalist or not. We will all support you, let alone participate! If you participate again, you will gain something. It doesn't matter. " After listening to my parents' persuasion, I felt like drinking a cup of sweet honey water, and my original depression and disappointment were swept away. Let me regain my confidence in learning to recite.
A warm big bed always gives you more love and care, and always makes you reluctant to leave. Last mid-term exam, I didn't do well in Chinese, only got 65 points. At home, my mother not only didn't talk about me, but also helped me analyze the reasons why I didn't do well in the exam. After the analysis, he taught me how to review and make the next exam more ideal. Family is a rest stop that gives you confidence and warmth.
A perfect test paper always doubles your confidence. My mother helped me with my English last weekend. When I have words and phrases I don't understand, I will ask my mother for advice. My mother, like a learning machine, always patiently tells me their meanings and parts of speech. If I forget, my mother didn't say that I have a bad memory, but explained it to me seriously. It's like endless patience.
What your family gives you is infinite encouragement, confidence, care and love. What about us? You should not just enjoy it, but give it back to your parents. This is the real family!
Composition 3 on the topic of affection: spring water is the clearest and affection is the truest.
The lights in the countryside are gradually shrinking, and it is predicted that there are few candles left, which is very dim. Firecrackers spread everywhere, filled with smoke: it was a sleepy night.
Grandpa closed his eyes and leaned back in the chair, which was still creaking. While reading a book and newspaper, I accidentally blurted out a name: anipa.
Grandpa, who was ready to rest, stood up with a sigh, which really scared me. His eyes suddenly filled with spirit. Somehow, he gently waved to me. I, a 20-foot monk, walked over in confusion. He told me to sit down as if telling a story. I imagine that the story is intertwined like a silk horse, like a million stars flying and spreading at the same time, so it is endless.
Grandpa told his story with great interest.
Anipa and his wife are not rich, but out of sympathy, they adopted 19 children without father and mother. Raising children in difficult living conditions, even without a full meal. Not her own flesh and blood, but all the children she took good care of, spread the wings of her heart and hold up a blue sky for those children. Hunger and cold can't stop them, because in the position of the third rib in the left chest, it is the child who occupies his whole heart. For the sake of children, there will be endless power to take great pains to take care of them.
After the story was finished, I was quite moved. My eyes were red and full of tears.
I was lost in thought: The spirit of Mr. and Mrs. anipa is really amazing. There are countless homeless children all over the world. They are only a few years old and should not suffer so much. We can't leave them unattended just because they know nothing. Even a little effort can make them happy for a long time. Harmony, isn't it what everyone longs for?
The next morning, I got up early, picked up my grandfather, sorted out my unnecessary clothes and daily necessities and donated them to charity. Let those children know that there is still love in this world.
Affection is a subtle topic about affection. "There are true feelings everywhere in the world, which always warms people's hearts." Affection is a movement, playing music, beautifully rotating melody, taking me into the harbor of love.
Shadows of the field
Under the scorching sun, the relentless fireball kept evaporating. Looking at the golden ocean in the countryside from a distance, it seems that there is no vitality. I sat in the arbor in the field, drinking iced juice. Originally, my parents said it was too hot to run around and asked me to take a lunch break at home. However, I don't like home. The heating in the house growls like boiling water. I searched for a long time and finally found a good place. Suddenly two figures appeared in my sight. I always felt that their backs were deja vu, so I followed them. The two men suddenly bent down. I ran to the other side like Xiao Wei and saw them. I was suddenly stopped. Those two people used to be my parents. My parents let me take a lunch break, but I cut rice here myself. Sweat stayed from their foreheads, and the crystal sweat stung my eyes, and tears fell quietly. I hurried over. "Mom and Dad, I have grown up and can't leave me at work."
Expose the truth in the snow
Snowflakes are flying all over the sky, and the snow on the road is several feet thick. I piled a snow doll in front of the door, and my parents broke it mercilessly. I scolded them angrily and continued to make snow dolls. At night, the cold wind shuttles back and forth in the air like a sword. I lay on the stool with my head in my arms. My parents saw it, touched my head and put me on the motorcycle without hesitation. Unexpectedly, the snow was too thick for the car to move at all, so my father put me on my back, my mother wrapped me in clothes and hid me on my head with an umbrella in her hand. Dad walked step by step, and suddenly a few sparkling ice crystals flashed in front of my eyes. I tried to take them away, but my father let out a moan. My eyes are moist.
Affection is subtle and sacred, and it has always been with us.
It was a winter night, it was snowing heavily outside, but I was hot all over in my room. I had a fever, and she wanted to carry me to the hospital, but when she looked at the clock, she felt that a big stone had fallen down. It was already midnight 12, and the hospital had already closed. She had to tuck me in first and then pour me hot water. In the dim light, I looked at her back and forth, and suddenly a warm current came to my heart. This is the first time I have felt the warmth of my family since I can remember.
Her vague figure has been engraved in my mind, and more and more tears will overflow from my eyes. Finally, I couldn't stop them, and they came out. She asked me what was wrong. At that time, I was already crying speechless. She is in a hurry. I shook my head and she was relieved.
The next morning, the soft sunshine didn't want to wake us, so it quietly shone through the window. I woke up and she slept by my bed all night. I didn't want to wake her, so I sat up gently, but she was woken up by me. She told me to lie down quickly, touched my forehead to make sure I was all right, and then sat down safely. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she didn't sleep all night.
I sat up, when she brought me a bowl of hot rice porridge, and I ate it bit by bit, while she watched happily. She just sat quietly beside me and looked at me from last night until now. From then on, I really felt that she was my closest relative.
She is my dear grandmother. I grew up under her care and never suffered any harm. She taught me a lot, and also let me know the value of family ties.
Relatives will help you when you are most helpless; Relatives will comfort you when you are most sad; Your relatives will take good care of you when you are ill.
Affection is precious, even if everyone abandons you, your relatives will not, and your relatives will never abandon you. Affection can give you the motivation to move forward, and everyone should cherish it.
Family topic composition 6 Our family is obsessed with hot and sour taste. Acid is really a good taste, which can make people drool in their mouth and mouth. And spicy food can stimulate your appetite and make you swallow like a whale. Together, they make a good appetizer; The most representative thing is to shoot cucumbers.
Cucumber tastes soft, sweet and delicious, but it has the ability to accept all rivers, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, and every taste can be perfectly integrated with it, bringing the two to the extreme. Although it is only a cold salad, the more precious it is, the more prosaic it looks.
The preparation of raw materials is very strict, otherwise, it will either make you grin with acid or make your hair boil with spicy food. Cucumber must be fresh, chewy and juicy, and it must be jasper cucumber, not white. Vinegar should be aged rice vinegar, not white vinegar; Pepper is grown in my family. Mix the oil and crush it and fry it in the pan, so that the spicy taste can be fully exerted. This homemade hot sauce is best to dry for a few days. When you put the bowl on the tip of your nose and smell it gently, you will choke. If you can't make it yourself, the hot sauce in the supermarket can also be replaced, with bright red color and pure taste as the best.
The next step is to "shoot" Cut the cucumber vertically into two pieces, put it on the chopping block, and then pat it with all your strength to pieces. This cucumber is crisp and juicy, and this juice has the magical ability to dissolve capsaicin. The more juice you pat, the more fragrant and delicious it will be. After filming, there will be cracks in the melon slices, which can make the cucumber more tasty. Mix cucumbers with the prepared sauce, beat them repeatedly clockwise until each cucumber is covered with sauce and shiny, then add half a spoonful of sugar to make it fresh and tender, and a dish will be freshly baked.
Shooting cucumber is full of color, flavor and praise. It is red, mixed with green tender cucumbers. The fragrance is rich, and the hot sauce and sour vinegar give the nose a strong stimulation. The taste is sour and spicy, and it is ingeniously disintegrated by the faint cucumber, and the aftertaste is sweet. It makes it impossible for you to put down chopsticks once you pick them up.
For our family, it is a unique taste pheromone, which is related to the taste and warmth of this haunted home.
The Chinese nation has many fine traditions since ancient times: diligence, eagerness to learn, honesty and trustworthiness ... indeed, Chinese civilization gives people the impression of being as rich and calm as a mountain. On this mountain, there is a place with the most beautiful scenery, and that is filial piety.
Family ties are innate, primitive and lofty feelings. Parents' love for us is great and selfless, and parents' love is lofty. Filial piety is our reward for this love and an instinct of human beings.
In ancient times, there was a nine-year-old girl whose family was poor and her parents were in poor health. Every night, she is always the first to sleep. Is she a peeping tom? No, she's warming the quilt for her parents, warming the cold quilt before entering her own quilt. It is really "filial piety, what to do."
Not only in ancient times, but also around us, there are many touching stories.
Remember Meng Peijie, one of the people who moved China on 20 12? She shouldered the family with tender shoulders and took care of her foster mother for more than ten years, but she still had no regrets.
Affection is gentle as running water and warm as spring breeze; It asks nothing in return, so it is priceless. "She sewed it carefully and repaired it thoroughly, fearing that the delay would make him go home late" is kinship. "Being alone in a foreign land is a stranger, and I miss my relatives twice during the festive season" is also a family affection, and the family affection before the disaster is even more earth-shattering.
During the Wenchuan earthquake, people found a mother who was crushed to death by a collapsed beam. She knelt on her knees, her whole upper body crawled forward, and her hands supported her. When people cleaned the ruins, they found a child lying under her, wrapped in a small quilt, only three months old. Because of the mother's protection, the child was unscathed and fell asleep quietly when he was taken out. The doctor opened the quilt to examine the child and found a mobile phone inside. A message typed by his mother appeared on the screen: "Dear baby, if you can live, you must remember that I love you."
The ocean is bigger than the lake, the sky is bigger than the ocean, and the heart is bigger than the sky, because the heart is full of affection!
In this world, there is a kind of affection, which is innate and does not change with the rich and the poor. This is affection.
Dear teachers and classmates, the topic of my speech today is family.
Affection is a big tree, everyone is his root, let it absorb nutrition and stay young forever; Family is a river, and everyone is its tributary, so that it will never dry up and surge forward; Family is a fire, and everyone is its firewood, so that it will never go out and warm the four sides.
Affection is the snow on the top of Mount Everest, pure but eternal; Affection is the flowing water of the Yangtze River, soft but long; Family is the sunset in Sicily, lingering but gorgeous; Affection is an inscription on the Mesopotamian plain, which is vague but meaningful. Family ties transcend time and space, weaving the most beautiful rainbow in life.
Affection is a bright light, illuminating the road of the prodigal son; Family is a safe haven, giving wandering wanderers a calm harbor; Affection is a bowl of chicken soup for the soul, giving care to the injured soul; Affection is an indelible mark in the deepest part of human mind, and it is the sublimation of the purest, most sincere and warmest feelings of human beings.
Family is a bank, which builds strong confidence for you when your mind is fragile; Affection is a rainbow, which paints a beautiful and splendid picture for you after you have experienced the storm; Home is a cloud, embroidering a beautiful flower for you when you are lonely. Your family is waiting for you in the distance, waiting for your return; Affection is a permanent miss, missing everything about you; Affection is endless sadness after parting, mourning for your distant back; Affection is the infinite happiness when we meet again, and we are happy for your safe return.
There are many kinds of people's feelings: friendship, love, nostalgia, infatuation ... but all these are pale and powerless in the face of unique family ties. Nothing can replace affection. Affection is rain, which takes away irritability and leaves coolness; Family is the wind, blowing away sadness and leaving happiness; Family is the sun, which takes away darkness and leaves light; Family is a big tree, blocking the sun and bringing shade; Family is a flower, emitting a charming fragrance; Family is a rainbow, which drives away the wind and rain and shows charming colors. ...
I read this report, and it was a very shocking thing-a mother and daughter were trapped by a stone (Wenchuan earthquake).
This is a heartbreaking event. There was a big earthquake in Wenchuan, and many people were trapped by stones. Some were stoned to death, some were trapped, some were crushed to death ... What impressed me most was the trapped mother and daughter. At that time, rescuers were digging nervously and found signs of life in a rubble full of stones, so they quickly started rescue work. After they opened the last stone, they saw a woman kneeling on the ground, and the staff saw it not far away. The woman starved to death because she had no food and drink during the excavation. When the staff saw that the women showed no signs of life, they wanted to leave immediately, and then when they went to the next place for disaster relief, a voice kept them-"Ah! Hey! " It turned out to be a woman. There is a baby under it. It turns out that this is a mother and daughter. In order not to hurt the child, the mother knelt on the ground and held a wallet in her hand, protecting the child and protecting this young life. There is also a phone next to the baby. There was a message on the phone: "Take good care of the baby for me!" " "
After this report, I realized that this is family! How precious family ties are! Nothing is more precious than affection! Because family ties are unique!
Affection is the composition topic 10 affection, which can make the cold world warm. Can make the dark road bright; Can make the boring world rich and colorful.
We were raised by our parents from birth; When we were young, we didn't know anything, but our parents taught us. Parents' love for us is kinship. When we are sick, our parents take us to the hospital.
I still vaguely remember that on the first day, my parents took me to kindergarten. I was 3 years old. When I arrived at the door, I still refused to let go of my mother's clothes. My mother hurriedly took my hand and left, and I cried. I don't want to leave my parents who have been with me for three years, but I'm going to a place I don't know for a week. My heart is sour. But finally separated, separated, how much I loathe to give up!
Growing up, I also understood how my parents felt at that time. In the world, we don't necessarily have affection between parents, but also between classmates and sisters.
Once, an unpleasant incident between me and my best friend made us have a big fight. When our monitor saw it, he taught us: "Good friends should be simple, and don't quarrel. Quarrel can't solve the problem. Think for yourself! " His words reminded me that I really wanted to say sorry to her, but I was just about to say it when she said, "I'm sorry" and "No, I should apologize." The monitor saw me wearing makeup and made us all laugh.
This is the feeling between us, and we can find Guan Ming in the dark days.
The affection between friends is visible, and we still have a lot of affection worth discovering. .
Family ties are everywhere. It is like a ray of sunshine shining on each of us.
I once heard such a story: in a commercial house, there lived a family of four. One night, my father was sleeping. Suddenly, he was awakened by a pungent smell. When he opened the door, he found their house on fire. The fire spread rapidly, and my father quickly woke up his sleeping wife. Regardless of the danger, he jumped over the fire and picked up his two sons in the next room. However, there is a fire around the gate, so it seems impossible to escape from the stairs. The fire burned more and more fiercely and gradually reached their waist. My father braved the sweat and said anxiously, "Our floor is relatively high and the situation is urgent. If we wait for the firemen to come, it may be too late. We have a small attic at home, so we might as well hide there to avoid the fire! " So my father opened the door of the attic. As the stairs leading to the attic have not been installed in their house, the father had to lift his eldest son, who just turned 5, and let the children climb in by themselves. But the newborn son doesn't know how to climb in, even if his father holds it. The father had to try his best to suck the milk, help his wife up and let her take her little son in. The attic, which was easy to climb up because of too much effort just now, has now become a difficult task. My father almost fell down when he tried to climb several times. My wife tried to hold her husband's hand, but suddenly a pillar fell down and pressed my father down. Under heavy pressure, my father gradually lost consciousness, looking at his safe family, smiling all the time ... After listening to this story, I couldn't help crying. I was deeply moved by my father's responsibility and love to protect my family.
This story has always been in my mind, because it makes me understand that family is a kind of spiritual wealth, and it will become my most permanent memory.
Composition 12 The topic of affection has its own unique charm all year round, with sunny spring, shady trees in summer, golden harvest in autumn and snowy winter. But because winter is very cold, many people are afraid of it, but I like winter.
Snow in winter can make me have a lot of reverie. I fantasize that I am Snow White, wearing white clothes and playing in the snow. Although the winter last year was particularly cold, I felt very warm. Winter is coming, and my mother knits me a sweater every day. Every morning when I open my eyes, my mother has quietly turned on the heating. The room is as warm as spring, and the clothes have been baked warmly. My mother has been caring for me and taking care of me. The cold wind of this cold season in winter stung my mother's teeth mercilessly. It hurts when it comes to the wind, and sometimes I can't speak. Looking at my mother's pain, I really hope I can do something for her. It is another cold morning. I only had two or three mouthfuls of breakfast, and I was ready to take my bag and go. At this moment, my mother suddenly said, "Come! Eat these quickly and I'll send them to you. " I said, "Don't you have a toothache? No, I'll go by myself. " But my mother pulled me back and said to me earnestly, "Have a good breakfast, or you will have no strength in class in the morning." Listening to my mother's words, my heart seemed to be hit hard, and suddenly my eyes were blurred. At this time, the scene of my mother sending me to school with great pain reappeared in front of my eyes. On the way, I watched my mother struggling to pedal the car, and my face was covered with sweat. After school, my mother breathed a sigh of relief, her face was very white and her lips were a little purple. I said, "Mom, go to the hospital!" "Watching my mother leave, I shed tears of gratitude and remembered everything my mother had done for me, but what can I do to repay her? But the cold pulled me back from my memory.
Looking at my mother's figure, I feel that there is infinite maternal love in my heart like a trickle. Although it is silent, it moistens the dry soul. My mother is pregnant with amazing greatness in the ordinary! Motherly love is speechless, but who can repay this heavy love? Motherly love seems to have flowed into our hearts. Although it is a cold winter, my heart is warm.
The composition 13 on the topic of affection is like running water, which usually slips through your fingertips when turning over the calendar, so it has been two months since the school started. I love my family, the first unit in the Chinese book, suddenly came into view. I heard the sound of plucking the strings in my heart, and the feelings of home and country unconsciously filled my heart.
I still remember that night, the explanation of filial piety in the Daily Code of Conduct for Middle School Students released during the day stirred my heart. I tried my best to hold back my guilt, holding my mother's hand and pretending to say to her, "Mom, shall I help you wash your feet?" "Why?" Mother smiled and answered, "Has my little daughter found a conscience?" I didn't say anything, just pulled her to sit down, brought her a pot of hot water, gently helped her take off her socks, gently held her feet and put them in hot water. My hand gently stroked my mother's feet, what a wonderful feeling, thick calluses, stiff instep and rough skin. I can even vaguely feel her smooth and soothing breathing ... I gently rubbed the stiff calluses, which is a hardship that a young woman should not have, and a trace that years have portrayed on her. I close my eyes, and the past is vivid again: her scowl every time I make a mistake; She solved the "obstacles" in every study; Every time I didn't bring an umbrella, the familiar figure in the wind and rain and the warm nagging ... she didn't have extraordinary wisdom and a good-looking face. She just silently gave me everything she had, youth, love and her heart, regardless ... I opened my eyes, the silver line in my mother's black hair was so dazzling, and the faint crow's feet had crept up on her.
Perhaps, that is affection.
Affection is incomparable, surpassing drawers and memories, just because the other end of the rope at home is love and care.
On weekdays, I always feel normal when I see my parents cooking lunch for their children, and I don't feel the kind of affection that others say. It was not until that personal experience that I deeply realized the kind of affection they said.
This is the day of winter vacation. Dad promised to have lunch with me, but after lunch time, there was still no sign of dad. I started doing my homework in the living room. The wind outside made the tin on the windowsill creak. Suddenly, the phone at home rang. That's dad on the other end of the phone. His voice was mixed with wind, which sounded a little vague. What he said probably means that the car broke down and is now being repaired in the Xin circuit garage. I apologize for not being able to keep the appointment. After I put the phone down, I heard a gust of wind again, and I couldn't help thinking about my father's present situation. The idea of sending my father food sprouted in my heart.
I went to the kitchen, heated yesterday's leftovers and put them in the lunch box. At this moment, I gradually felt the concern of parents for their children. I took a bus to my destination, got off the bus and kept looking for my father, and finally found him in a garage. His hair fluttered freely in the wind and looked a little old. I hurried to my father's side and called him. He looked up in surprise and said, "Yu Zhe, why are you here?" I smiled and said, "I'm here to deliver your meal." Hearing this, he sternly scolded, "Who sent you? What if I have a cold? " Just then, my stomach kept sending out signals. "It seems that you haven't eaten. Let's make do here together! " Dad said. He opened the lunch box and found that the food was cold, but it didn't affect our eating. We take turns eating.
Cold dishes become warm in our mouths, and strong winds make us feel like spring breeze.
The composition 15 on the topic of affection is like a road sign in confusion, guiding your direction. Family, like a lamp, illuminates the life you should go. Affection, like a cup of tea, can warm your heart.
My mother is an ordinary person, but in her ordinary life, I saw her extraordinary side.
I remember when I was in the first grade of primary school, I played on the playground with my classmates. Suddenly, I seemed to be pushed down by a force and my chin hit a stone. My classmates sent me to the infirmary, and the teacher said that I should go to the hospital to get some stitches.
After learning the news, my mother put down the housework and rushed to the hospital at the speed of light.
In the hospital bed, I was very scared. I saw the doctor fiddling with a needle, and suddenly, fear turned into countless tears pouring out of my eyes.
At this point, my mother ran into the ward, took my hand and comforted me all the time, saying, "Don't be afraid, it will be fine!" " Mom is by your side, and I will always be with you! "I stopped crying and turned to look into my mother's eyes. For the first time, I found my mother's eyes so big, so bright and so charming. Gradually, I fell asleep.
I only vaguely remember lying on a warm and strong back. It shook gently, like a cradle, but it didn't wake me up.
When I woke up, I was already lying in a soft bed at home. At this time, I will never forget who put a spoonful of nectar in my mouth and who relieved the pain of my wound with caring eyes. It's her-my beloved mother.
Although she asked me many questions, I didn't answer them. I don't want my voice to break the silence at the moment. I am thinking, if time can stay, please let it stay at this moment.
Outside the window, the stars are staring at this place with their eyes open, and the moon shines the brightest moonlight into this warm hut. They are quiet and don't seem to want to break the silence.
Family is like honey, which gives you a sweet taste. Family, like a clear spring in the desert, can help you when you are in trouble. Family is like a ship, carrying you on a long voyage.
Affection is a clear sky that clouds cannot cover!
