Book cover composition
Book cover composition 1 brand-new books lie quietly in the schoolbag, which makes me full of joy, longing, anxiety and fighting spirit ... as if the air around me is full of birds and sunshine, full of vitality.
At the beginning of each semester, I always build a few books, but there are only a few, and my skills are not flattering.
I carefully put the book on the paper, gently glued the spine and cut off the four corners next to the spine. For the sake of safety, I drew a line with a ruler, hoping to even measure the angle ... Finally, at the most critical time, I tore off the paper and slowly exposed the mucosa, having a transparent body, but it made me nervous. I touched the back cover of the glossary for the last time and slowly covered the mucosa, but although I didn't dare to neglect it, the mucosa suddenly jumped up and I wanted to tear it off again, but as the mucosa was uncovered, there were broken pages. ...
The last few books have improved slightly, but the leaked air still flows freely in the books like a trickle-alas! These books are my chariots! How can there be such a bad chariot?
The mother on the other side is wrapped in running water, and the books are smooth and tidy. I can't help but sigh: "How did you wrap it so well!" Without looking up, mom smiled and said, "Then why are you so good at math?"
I was shocked. Although my mother always speaks amazingly, this sentence still surprises me: yes, isn't that the truth? My mother wraps so freely because I practice a lot. I'm good at math. Practice makes perfect. Isn't everything like this? Read more books, and your writing will be unique. If you exercise more, your body will become a steel frame ... if you work hard, it will naturally have an effect.
On the first day of school, my mother's words were like a blow. I will cherish this sentence and make it a comrade-in-arms this semester together with the new book.
It is often said that children nowadays are the apple of their parents' eye, but they can do nothing. I thought to myself: Don't underestimate me. I will wrap the book cover myself today.
Look! First, I took out a book cover with colorful patterns and chose a Chinese book from a brand-new book. I think I have to wrap it up. I turned over the cover of the Chinese book and stuck the paper tightly on the cover of the book. Then, pick up the scissors, carefully cut the paper east and west, and cut it at once. After careful inspection, it is true that the heart hanging in my heart has finally landed. I folded the paper left and right along the outline of the book again, which seemed a bit hectic and found it a bit difficult. I thought I must not screw it up. If I screw it up, I can't fold it properly. So, I calmed down and started folding again. This time, I folded it smoothly. Then turn the book to the back, toss and turn, and finally put the bread on your back.
With my efforts, a book seems to have put on new clothes. I feel flattered when I look at my wrapped book.
I silently thought: I must learn more other skills in the future, cultivate my own ability, become an excellent girl, and impress my parents.
On August 3 1 day, I was as excited as ever to get my new book back. The new semester has begun, and it's time for Bao Shu.
I'm about to take the book to my father's bag. Suddenly, at the beginning of school, the teacher's encouraging words echoed in my ears: "You are already a senior three student, and your every move should meet the standards of senior three students." Suddenly, I felt a little hot on my face.
"Yes, does a senior student still want his father Bao Shu?" I am ashamed to think. So, I picked up the Bao Shu paper and wrapped it myself. This is my first time in Bao Shu. I tried to remember my father Bao Shu. I took out an ideological and moral book first, and wanted to find a Bao Shu paper related to ideological and moral in that pile of Bao Shu papers, but I couldn't find it.
Just when I was a little depressed, suddenly a shiny piece of paper caught my eye: a small sailboat was sailing at high speed on the water flushed by the sunset. Just use this paper to wrap this beautiful picture, as if we are raising the ideal sail, braving the wind and waves in the ocean of knowledge and going forward bravely.
When I found Bao Shu paper, I wrapped it carefully. One, two, five ... Finally, all the new books are packed. I read my new book, and my heart is sweeter than eating honey. At this time, my father pushed open the door and said kindly, "Highland, bring the book quickly." I have work to do after the package is finished. "
I smiled gracefully and forgot my fatigue just now. Dad is still in the dark. I magically took out nine new books with covers from behind me. Dad pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and widened his eyes, as if he still didn't believe it.
After a long time, my father said meaningfully, "You have grown up, grown up, and you are a senior three student. I seem to see hope in it. I hope this is a new starting point, not an end point. "
Yes, I have grown up and stepped into the ranks of senior three students.
Climbing the mountain for the first time, talking for the first time, laughing for the first time, walking for the first time, swimming for the first time, being moved for the first time, spending money for the first time, going to school for the first time, making friends for the first time ... There are many firsts in life, and in these firsts, we will also have some enlightenment.
My father wrapped all my book covers for me. The book covers wrapped by my father were very smooth, so I wanted to wrap the book cover, so I took the book cover mysteriously into the bedroom and began to concentrate on wrapping the book cover. I don't know anything about wrapping books, so the wrapped books are also full of potholes. I can't help feeling a little depressed. My father came into the bedroom to watch me wrap the book cover, and said to me, "If you want to wrap the bag well, you should put the book on a flat book cover paper.". The second step is to measure the book cover according to the size of the book, cut the book cover with scissors and wrap the front and back pages tightly. According to this procedure, the book can be packaged. "
I picked up the book again with a grain of salt and did it step by step according to the steps taught by my father, but it was still not neatly wrapped. Dad said to me earnestly, "you must be patient and persistent in what you do." If you don't do well this time, you should work harder next time. Only in this way can the book cover be reported. If you give up once, you will never be able to pack a book. "
After listening to my father's words, a force surged from my heart, and I began to pick up the book cover carefully again, getting better every time and perfect the last time. My father's words still ring in my ears. Maybe I understand what my father said. No matter what you do with your heart, you will succeed in the end. My father's words gave me great encouragement. I will try my best to do what I should do and not let my parents worry.
The first time inspired me. There are many firsts in life, but the inspiration is that you should find them with your heart and then do your best.
Today my mother showed me a little video. Now the small video really has everything. It turned out to be a video teaching how to wrap a book cover.
Mom said this video reminded her of her childhood. They all wrap their schoolbags with calendar paper at home. She said, do you know what calendar paper is? Why don't you know anything? I want to share science with you. Are you too young or am I out of date?
A calendar is a big book for recording dates. It is about the size of a quarto and has 13 pages. The first page is the year and month written on the cover, and the rest 12 pages are twelve months. Each calendar has a theme, including landscape painting, motorcycles, models, flower arrangement and scenery. It is very beautiful. Who had a calendar at that time? Used calendars are always reserved for wrapping the book cover and drawing handwritten newspapers, because the back is white. If you like, the book cover can be colored or white.
Now my book covers are all made of ready-made plastic. The teacher said that they were all wrapped in white paper, and all the businesses selling book covers would give a white paper cover. So now I'm relaxed, just cover the book. My mother said you would lose a lot of fun, and the fun of wrapping the book cover. When I was a child, some parents were good at wrapping book covers, and the corners of the book covers were covered with small flowers, which made people envy having a pocket. Mom said that she always wraps the most common book cover herself.
The cover of the book is brilliant because it can be written well, and the black ink pen and writing brush are the finishing touch. I can't listen to my mother. How many interesting things have I lost at my age? My mother said that I have less hands-on ability and less fun to make myself happy. Cover the book. Let's move on. If I buy a new book in the future, I think it's better to wrap it in a book cover.
Did you wrap the book cover today?
It is every pupil's dream to wear beautiful clothes for his new book. Mom said, "The book cover outside is not environmentally friendly. Let's wrap the book ourselves, or we can use it as waste. "
I think: what doesn't bother me is the easy thing of wrapping the book cover. So, I brought old calendar paper and scissors ... and started to work seriously.
I first put the book in the calendar paper and press it repeatedly along the edge of the book, but I often press it here and jump there. I had to cooperate with my hands until the crease of the book pressed against the paper, then I took out the book, and then I cut a triangular mouth on one side and one on the other with scissors. What's wrong with the last attempt? Alas, the original position of the triangle is cut backwards. I thought about it carefully, adjusted the direction, and cut two triangles in the middle of the paper, but it failed again, and the book bag could not be folded. I thought hard and changed the triangular mouth into a rectangle, huh? How can you show so much? The poor book smiled and cried sadly. This is the third failure. The paper wrapped in the book cover tossed and turned in my hand, as if laughing at my incompetence. I wanted to give up, but my mother said, "Failure is the mother of success. If you want to succeed, you must be patient. Try a few more times and you will always succeed. " After listening to my mother's words, I felt a wave of courage.
I took a new piece of paper and solemnly took a book with a cover. The first step is to press the crease according to the size of the book. The second step is to sum up my experience. I use scissors to cut two small trapeziums in the center of the paper, and the length of the top of the trapezium should be equal to the thickness of the book. Step three, put the book in carefully, fold the paper along the crease and wrap it in a beautiful cover. Hey! How interesting! You can also draw your favorite pictures on the book cover.
Looking at the fruits of my labor, I feel as happy as honey.

Worth a new semester, I finally became the big sister of the whole school. But the height and childishness of what I say and do always make people laugh.
No, as usual, there is always a book cover in the new semester. In the past, my mother always wrapped all the book covers for me. However, I can't help but feel itchy when I look at my mother's neat appearance when she wraps the book cover today.
"Mom, just leave one wrapped for me. I'm in the sixth grade, and I can't even wrap the book cover. Wouldn't it be a joke if someone told me? " It took me a long time to convince my mother.
So I picked up the rest of my math class, put the brown paper on it and looked at the size. "Ha, just right!" Next, I folded the extra kraft paper to the first and last pages of the book and cut out the rest.
"Mom, is this enough?" Mom looked at it and frowned. "Oh, I said, should you ... paste the folded part?" Otherwise, the cover of the book will be separated from the book. "She said, and drew a picture. Oh, great! Why didn't I think of that? So I picked it up on both sides? ; Want to post, "wait a minute, you have to do this first." "I saw my mother skillfully fold the cover and bottom of the book, and then told me that if I posted it directly, it would not be folded evenly until the book was closed. I see. I asked my mother enviously, "Mom, how do you know so much?" "! Is there a trick to wrap the book cover? "Mom only said that I would know when I grow up, but I'm not young! Grow up, grow up, how long will it take me to really grow up!
The schoolbag is ready, and this unforgettable experience almost turned into a joke, but I have always kept my mother's words in mind, hoping to "break the cocoon into a butterfly" one day.
In the first week of school, everyone was anxious to put a cover on their new schoolbags. The cover of my book is unique in my class, not only beautiful, but also strong, which is envied by my classmates.
After the first text, I went to the office to correct my exercise book with the cover. Teacher Tu just finished approving the exercise book and brought it back when she wanted to return it to me. "What's the matter?" I thought in fear and trembling. I saw him holding my exercise book, tossing and turning, nodding and smiling and saying, "Did you wrap the cover of this book yourself?"
"No, it was wrapped by my father."
"When to learn, and then teach us."
"hmm!" I am secretly happy.
When I got home, I asked my father to teach me by hand, and it took me half an hour to master the wrapping method of the book cover.
When I arrived at school the next day, I was a little impatient. I took out two prepared old newspapers and started the last exercise. This is my first time to teach a teacher, but I can't make a fool of myself.
When I came to the office with scissors and a ruler, I obviously felt my heart beat faster. I kept saying in my heart, "Don't be nervous! Don't be nervous ... "Teacher Tu greeted me eagerly, looked at my nervous appearance and said with a smile," Teacher Mao, you are a teacher now. " I'm embarrassed to say it, but my heart is much calmer.
I threw away everything my father told me yesterday when I was teaching my teacher to wrap the book cover. "First, fold the newspaper in half, put the book in the middle, and cut it with scissors at the break line 10 cm ..." When I was talking, Teacher Tu interrupted me. "We can't be so armchair strategist. There are newspapers there. Let's study and practice. " He took two newspapers and began to fold them in half. Teacher Tu learned quickly and learned it in less than ten minutes. He also wrapped all his textbooks and reference books in books and said, "Not bad!" " "
From then on, I felt a sense of pride as soon as I saw the unique cover of Teacher Tu's textbook.
Book cover composition 10 is about to start school, and the new book has not been covered yet. Life is getting better every day. My math and Chinese books used to be wrapped in plastic covers. Although these plastic covers are wrapped effortlessly, they are expensive and not environmentally friendly. I heard from my parents that when they were my age, they distributed new books, all of which were old newspapers and calendars. I also decided to cover all the remaining books with last year's old calendar.
I began to wrap the book cover in the morning, because this is my first time to wrap the book cover and I can't wrap it yet. I asked my father to wrap a book for me first. Then I found the calendar I gave my father last year. He told me the steps of wrapping the book cover in detail while wrapping it. I read it carefully and listened carefully. The steps are as follows: Step 1: Fold a calendar in half, then put the book on paper and cut out a folded calendar with three sides about 5 cm larger than the book with scissors; Step 2: put the books in order, and cut out the width of 1-3 cm according to the book thickness along the binding line with scissors (be careful not to cut the books on the upper and lower sides); Step 3: unfold the cut paper. First, fold the cut paper to the same height as the book along the binding line. If the book cover is folded more, the book will not be wrapped, and if the book cover is folded less, it will be bigger than the book. Step 4: Put the book in the middle. Let's put the bread on the back first, turn to the last page, and neatly fold the excess paper on the upper and lower right sides into the book (fold it up and down first and then fold it to the right). The same method is also used to fold the front.
I read the cover of my father's book and thought it was quite simple. I tried, too. The first time I made a mistake, the size of the book was different from the cover. I didn't lose heart. I wrapped it carefully again and finally wrapped it. It turns out that it is not so easy to do simple things. You can't be proud and take simple things seriously in the future.
I hope students can use the covers of old books themselves like me, which is environmentally friendly and saves money.
Writing in Book Cover 1 1 My daughter has never destroyed or torn books since she was a child, and she has protected them well, whether it is extracurricular books or textbooks. Although she loves books very much, I still have to wrap the book cover for her every time she starts school. I found some calendar paper today, and I plan to wrap the book cover with her after dinner.
After dinner, I sit with him every day to wrap the book cover. We cut the paper according to the size of the book and then wrap it one by one. Let's talk about wrapping, and it will be wrapped in a minute.
Some people may say that at this age, you still wrap the book cover with calendar paper. The cover of the book in the stationery store is strong and beautiful. Why do you wrap it yourself? How full!
Some people may say that it is difficult to buy a book cover for the child to see how much she can live.
But I don't think so. I like to buy book covers and wrap them up. When I am busy, I buy the cover of the book; When I am in the mood, I will wrap the book up. I like to wrap the book cover every day. Under my guidance, she has learned to cover books for a long time. Every time she wraps a book cover, she is very happy because she finds pleasure in doing it.
Today's book cover reminds me of my mother and my brother and sister wrapping books when I was a child. My mother teaches us patiently, and we learn from her seriously. My mother works very hard. Every time, she deliberately wrapped a small triangle around the two corners of the book cover to make it more durable. The cover of her book is straight and strong, and I like it very much.
Miss the good life when I was a child. We used to wrap the book cover with my mother. Today, I wrapped the book cover with my children. Different people repeat the same action. In a blink of an eye, I am 36 years old and my mother is 64 years old. Time waits for no one! Although after so many months, I feel that the past is just around the corner. Today, every day, like my brother and I, I sit around my mother happily and enjoy her deep love!
The new semester has begun, and Tian Tian has entered the fourth grade. With the increase of study subjects, there are more and more books. When I went to pick up the children on Friday, the teacher asked me to wrap all the books I brought back with cellophane. I remember when I was a child at school, we all used the old calendar paper at home to wrap the book cover. With the progress of the times, various electronic products emerge one after another, and it is not easy to find calendar paper now. There is also a reason for choosing cellophane. At present, there are two kinds of finished book covers sold in stationery stores. One is with a plastic pole, which is uncomfortable and will become a child's toy. The other is the book cover, but this kind of book cover is brightly colored and painted with various patterns, which is easy to distract children from class. The advantage of cellophane is that it is both fit and waterproof when attached to a book.
When I got home after picking up my children, I took out about 16 brand-new textbooks and 15 exercise books from Tian Tian's heavy schoolbag. God, it's a headache to look at such a difficult technical job. My husband is away on business, so I have to finish this arduous task alone. I am really helpless for the neatness of textbooks and exercise books.
At half past eight on Saturday morning, I drove to the commodity market. I bought two specifications of cellophane, 45 cm wide and 5 m, and the unit price is 2 yuan per meter, 5 m wide and 2.5 yuan per meter, which is 22.5 yuan. When I got home, I started my busy work. Because cellophane is sticky, it will stick crooked or damage the cover of the book if you are not careful, so you must be careful and do it carefully. An hour has passed, and two hours have passed. When I cut paper, Bao Shu, scissors, a knife and a ruler went into battle. Because I'm not very skilled, I packed it for nearly four hours, counting 38 books in total. You're finished. My back is sore and I'm sweating. When Tian Tian put a lot of books back in her schoolbag, she smiled and said to me, "Mom, you have worked hard!" " "When I heard the child's words, I said," As long as you study hard, my mother will be happy no matter how tired she is. I hope you take good care of books and make them good friends for your study. "
The new semester began, and piles of new books filled my small schoolbag. Soon, the first day of school was over, and the teacher still assigned tasks as usual. I thought it would be a preview task, but the teacher wrote the words "Cover the book" on the blackboard and said, "If there is no other homework today, just put your new book on the shelf." I proudly said to myself, "it's too easy to wrap the book cover!" " For me, it is three words' something'. When I got home, I couldn't wait to start the Bao Shu paper prepared in advance, and prepare to publish a gorgeous "new dress" for my new book.
I started to apply. I wrapped the cover of a book quickly according to my mother's previous steps in Bao Shu. A closer look reveals that the schoolbag is crooked and wrinkled, which is not good-looking at all. I sighed impatiently. When my mother saw me like this, she smiled and said, "It seems simple to wrap the book, but it is not easy to wrap it well." Frustrated, do anything, as long as you have patience, confidence and heart, you will be able to do it well. "After listening to my mother's words, I got up the courage again and took off my book cover to make a book cover for the center. I started packing again. I first folded the Bao Shu paper in half, then put the book in the middle, fixed the Bao Shu paper with a clip, and then cut off the redundant parts at both ends of the Bao Shu paper with scissors to form a rectangular small mouth. Finally, I carefully folded the Bao Shu paper along the edge of the book cover, flattened it by hand, and a brand-new book came out. I wrapped all the remaining book covers according to the above steps.
Looking at a wrapped new book, I smiled happily. My mother praised me and said, "Yes! Is the level improving fast? The schoolbag is better than mine. It really pays off! " After listening to my mother's words, my heart is as sweet as eating a mystery.
Many new books have been published in the new semester. I sorted out the first book and prepared to put it away. But when I tidied up, I found that the covers of the books I bought for Bao Shu were all broken. I suddenly had a brainwave: the book cover I bought was wasteful and not environmentally friendly. Why don't you pack your schoolbag yourself this time?
I was happy to find my father, who said, "What are you doing?" I said excitedly, "teach me to wrap the book cover!" " ""Well, I'm an expert! "Dad also said with interest." Prepare materials and tools first, "my father ordered me to say." So we found old calendar paper, scissors, ruler and pen.
Step 1: First, fold the whole calendar paper in half, put the book in the middle of the paper, leave a distance of about 1 inch around the paper relative to the length of the book, and draw lines with a ruler. Then take out the book and remove the extra parts along the way. Dad is going to cut it with scissors. I quickly said, "I'll do it." I cut slowly and carefully along the line, almost in the middle!
Step 2: put the book in the middle of the cut rectangular paper and squeeze it hard along the spine of the book. Two parallel creases appear on the paper. Then use scissors to cut a short section under the spine of the book along the pinched crease, and cut both creases from the edge of the paper to the edge of the book. Cut the top of the spine like this. Then fold the cut piece in. Finally, open the cover of the book and fold the remaining paper edges along the cover edge, as well as the back of the book. But something went wrong at this time, and the part near the spine could not be folded in. I almost crumpled the paper and I broke out in a sweat. At this time, my father just smiled and said, "The spine of your book is sticky and can't be folded in." "What shall we do?" I asked in a hurry. "Just cut a small piece!" Dad touched my head and said. Doing what dad said really went well.
Ha, you are finished! I shouted happily, "I can wrap the book cover, I can wrap the book cover!" " Dad smiled and wrote my name on the cover of my book.
Looking at the beautiful cover of my new book, I was so happy that I couldn't help thinking: It's not easy to wrap the cover, but I have learned a new skill!
The new semester has begun. I peeled off the covers of the old books last night, so I'm going to use them when I send out new books today. I didn't waste the money I saved on extra-curricular books.
Alas, the small abacus has failed! Today, when handing out books, Mr. Shen said to us, "We don't need plastic bags for books this semester. Let's use paper." Hearing this, the students began to talk about it. Teacher Shen said: "Some plastic book covers are non-products, toxic, harmful to people's health and expensive. And paper is cheap and environmentally friendly. " Then Mr. Shen said, "Students can go home and check the harm of the book without foreskin." Hearing this, I nodded puzzled.
My mother came to pick me up after school. I was a little annoyed and said to my mother, "Mom, buy a blank Bao Shu."
Mother was puzzled: "What's the matter with you, son? Don't you have a book cover at home? " Isn't this a waste? "I have to tell my mother what the teacher said.
I couldn't wait to turn on the computer as soon as I got home. It turns out that the "three noes" plastic book cover contains phthalates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other toxins, which can make people poisoned if used frequently. The quality supervision department of Jiangsu Province purchased 120 batches of plastic book covers from shops and stalls. After monitoring, the results show that 49 batches of plastic book covers do not meet the requirements, accounting for 40.8% of the total number of samples.
Ah, that's terrible! Is it true, life is important, or come to Bao Shu with paper.
Next, my mother and I came to Bao Shu with paper, but I didn't do it. My mother seemed to know my mind and said, "Look, I'll show you first." I saw my mother spread the white paper on the table, took out a book and put it on the white paper, then covered the paper on the book, with her index finger leaning against the edge of the book, and finally cut off the white paper bigger than the book with scissors. Soon the book was dressed in white.
Oh, it's so easy! I picked up my schoolbag at once. Alas, it looks easy, but it's hard to do! The clothes I wear for this book are either too big or too tight, and some of them can't be worn. I was too busy to do it at last. I asked my mother for help.
Well, I finally put on "new clothes" for all the books. At this moment, my stomach growled, and I remembered that I only cared about Bao Shu and forgot to eat. My mother and I both laughed.
