我的童年生活英语作文【实用20篇】

Today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.＇ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."

"Yeah, right. It isn＇t that easy." I protested.

"Yes it is, " Michael said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line is: It＇s your choice how you live life. " I reflected on what Michael said.

Soon thereafter, I left the big enterprise that I had worked in for years to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often though about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a communications tower.

After l8 hours of surgery, and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. I saw Michael about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I’d be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.

"The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live." "Weren’t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Michael continued, "... the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the operation room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, l read ＇He＇s a dead man.＇ I knew I needed to take action." "What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me” said Michael. "She asked me if I was allergic to anything. ‘Yes,’ I said. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled", ‘Gravity’” Over their laughter, I told them, ＇I＇m choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead＇."

Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I Learned from him that every day we have a choice to live fully. Attitude is everything.

How to adapt youself to college life

There are obvious differences between high school life and college life. First,college students will live in the dormitory with classmates who come from various places, and who may have different living habits. Second,college teachers ,instead of explaning in detail how to solve every problem, might only tell different approaches to the problem, and leave students to study and solve problems independently. Finally, in college,there is more free time for students to spend on.

However how should the college freshman adapt himself to these differeces. First of all, he should learn to be tolerant and consider more for others,which is necessary for group living. Moreover he should take active part in collective activities and make more communication with classmates and teachers. It will help he be smoothly integrated with your new environment. Besides,as to study,he should develop a good habit of self-teaching and learn to arrange study independently. Of course,it may take a freshman some while to become accustomed to the study and life in college. However, we all have to accept constant challenges of new things in our life. To conclude,college students should try to adapt himself to college life as soon as possible, so as to take full advantages of their precious college time.

After a while, we finally proposed the same thing, but at this time it was half past seven and we hurried out of the door, and we were fighting for business... It was almost nine o clock when I finally sold the newspaper.

We counted the money you earn, the in the mind very happy, because this is the first time that oneself earn money, although very hard, hot with smelly sweat, but we are still very happy, happy. Because only oneself know, the money that oneself make is very good!

Hello everyone。Today Im glad to be here to give a speech about my fresh experience in China Agriculture University。

First I must say the campus life is really different from what I have experienced in high school。For instance，I used to lean upon my dormitory teacher to wake me up on time。But now I have to set several alarm clocks to make myself could hear them in the morning otherwise I would miss my class。And then even worse there would be nobody remind me

童年是一生最美妙的阶段，那是的孩子是一朵花，也是一粒种子，是一片懵懵懂懂的聪明，一种永远不息的活动，一股强烈的欲望。巴尔扎克的这句名言，说出了童年的美妙。可是现在，我们的童年就要离我们渐行渐远，取而代之的是青春。纯真将一去不复返，成熟将向我们走来。

周五放学，我们在学校玩撕名牌游戏，欢快的笑声响彻着现在的校园，大家在教学楼里肆无忌惮的穿行丝毫没有一点拘束，在那一刻我们找到了久违的快乐。游戏开始了，我当铃铛使者，巡视在教学楼与操场之间。来来回回的巡视，希望发现一个人，赶忙把他撕下来。终于，我发现陈瑞琪真小心翼翼的从教学楼里走出来，我压低脚步声缓缓向前走去。就好像一只老虎漫漫地靠近它的猎物。五十米，四十米，三十米，二十米。嗖的一声，我好像一直离弦之箭直扑陈瑞琪，他还没反应过来名牌就被我一把撕下。

在经过了一小时的鏖战，同学们陆陆续续的被我淘汰，只剩下李铭洋和梁家涵，这两个人都很厉害，更何况两人联手？但我还是迎了上去，苦苦与两人作战，我洗去了李铭洋的名牌，同时也被梁家涵撕下。虽然我输了，但我依然高兴，因为我们的友谊更加深厚！

我们现在还在一起玩游戏，但人生这场游戏，我们是否能在一起？

After entering college, we found, to our surprise, that differences between high school life and college life are great. In high school, we always depended on our parents and teachers to solve all kinds of difficult problems. At college, however, we have to rely exclusively on ourselves. Whats more, we have to learn how to get along with our classmates and roommates.

Four years at college is an important yet very short period of time in our life. So it is always expected that we adapt to this life as quickly as possible. But it is a pity that not everyone can do so immediately. Here are some suggestions.

First, get familiar with the main buildings on the campus. Spend one or two hours by yourself or with your classmates to go around the campus so that you can know the location of such important places as the library, the dining room, the post office, the clinic and classrooms. Next, try to be independent. Learn to do such things as making sound decisions on how to spend your time, how to spend your money etc, and washing clothes on your own. Furthermore, form good study habits. Talk with your classmates and learn from their good habits. Finally, try to take part in all kinds of activities to get out of your solitude and get on well with your classmates.

I often go to see my grandma and grandpa during my summer vacation.They areboth seventy years old and live in the country happily. Summer view of thecountryside is very beautiful. I can do many interesting things there. I am used to getting up early in the morning breathing the fresh airlistening to the birds singing and enjoying the green trees red flowers and the river. I like fishing with my friends. When night comes I sit under the tree with my grandma listening to her telling me many funny stories. And I tell her some new things happening in the city. When I have to go backI am always reluctant to go. I really feel happy living in the country.

暑假期间我经常去看望我的爷爷奶奶，他们都已经70岁了，住在乡下。夏天的乡下非常漂亮，我可以在那里做很多有趣的事情。我习惯一大清早起床，呼吸新鲜空气，聆听鸟儿欢唱，欣赏绿树红花和门前的小河。我还喜欢跟伙伴们一起钓鱼。夜幕降临时，我就坐在树下，听奶奶讲动听的故事。我也会给她讲一些城里的新鲜事。每次该回城时，我总是恋恋不舍。我确实喜欢乡下的生活。

那是在夏季的一天，天气非常热，我拿着扇子使劲地扇，还是很热。“要是现在有冰凉的东西吃，那该多好啊!”我自言自语道。说着，我看见爸爸手里拿着一个大西瓜，便跑到爸爸面前撒娇：“爸爸，我要吃，我要吃。 That is a day in summer. The weather is very hot. I hold the fan and fan it vigorously."If there are cold things now, how good should it be!" I said to myself.Speaking, I saw my father holding a big watermelon in his hand, and ran to his father to coquettishly: "Dad, I want to eat, I want to eat.

”爸爸拿我没办法，就切给我吃，我拿起一块西瓜，不管三七二十一就吃起来，不一会儿就吃完了，感觉真舒服。忽然，我好像想起了什么，马上跑到爸爸面前说：“爸爸，如果把西瓜籽吃进肚子里，会不会有事?”“当然会有事。”爸爸很神秘地说，“西瓜籽会在肚子里生长，一直长到头上，然后生出一个大西瓜。我听后非常害怕。

以后，我每天都提心吊胆，担心在哪天的哪个时候，西瓜长在我的头上。这样的担心受怕使我不敢吃太多饭，也不敢喝水，我这样做，是怕西瓜籽吃了“肥料”后长得更快。我还时常跑到镜子面前照照，看看自己头上长西瓜了没有。

纸始终包不住火，爸爸妈妈看我每天都这样，便问我：“你最近怎么了?老是吃不饱，问你问题，你又十问九不答，是不是有什么事情瞒着我们?”我只好什么都招了，爸爸听后哈哈大笑。我说：“有什么好笑的，我这么惨，你们还笑我。”“傻丫头，我那是逗你玩的，没想到你当真了。”爸爸说完后又哈哈大笑起来。“真的是逗我玩的，你不会再骗我吧?”“是真的，我没骗你。”“太好了!我可以好好吃东西了，我再也不用担惊受怕了，等一下，高兴归高兴，我现在肚子好饿啊!妈妈，快煮东西，我要好好大吃一顿。”

当我小的时候，我生活在一个只充满欢笑的花园里。每天，我的生活都是无忧无虑的，在这个花园没有规矩，没有烦恼，没有悲痛，只有我的欢声笑语。这个花园——童年。而现在，我几乎再也没有感受到那儿时的快乐，有的只是那繁多的规矩，沉重的烦恼。

现在，我正在寻找埋藏在我心中的那些闪闪发光的星星。看那颗星星多亮啊，我从星星里看见……

那是一个冬天，下起了一场百年难得一见得大雪，外面的世界在一夜之间，都穿上了暖和的棉大衣，挺立着。“啊，多美的白色世界!”我不禁感叹。我的脑海里浮现出一个想法，我叫上几个好朋友，我们平均分组后，在相距100米的战场上各自准备十分钟。这表面上时公平的一次打雪战，其实这其中我偷偷向别人借了个望远镜，相隔这么远又下着雪，这是很难看清别人的具体位子的。想到这我的脸上露出了诡异的笑容。

十分钟的时间很快就过去了，我拿起法宝，仔细地观察敌人的行动。正当我观察时，敌军一人乘着这时雪下得大，偷偷从军营中出来，我偷偷的笑了几下，便告诉同伴要小心。我们拿着手榴弹，准备抵抗。

我们军的几人偷偷向前移动，我们后方的用“烟雾弹”进行掩护，敌人见我军这样，可能产生了怀疑，派了两个人从侧面进行观察。正当我感觉开心的时候，不只怎么会事，敌人竟然已经冲到距我的指挥部10米远的地方，我感觉不好，让全体人进入第一警戒。我们发射了多个“烟雾弹”，让敌军停止运动。我们又以猛烈地炮击，这使敌人发狂了，疯狂的向我指挥部打来，我想完了。就当我失去信心的时候，敌人的指挥部中传来了我军的胜利，我突然想到刚才去的两个人。

就这样我军以全胜告终，不过我倘然的说出了望远镜的事，那敌军的小伙伴就不服了，他们纷纷说：“我说怎么这么奇怪，我们的行动他们都一清二楚?原来是你搞的鬼。”我连忙道歉。

他们见我那样，都大笑起来。

童年的花园多好啊!可时光一去不复返。我只能回想了，可惜。

啊，多么欢乐的童年生活啊!

每个人都有难忘的童年生活，我也有，下面就来听听我的一个童年生活吧！

有一天，我在电视上看到了一个童话，我想来演，所以就把小伙伴叫来，来演这个童话。我们先选自己相伴的角色，我是当一个小恶魔。我们把自己的服装，道具都做好。“哇！真漂亮。”一个小伙伴叫起来，大家一看也异口同声的说：“真漂亮！”我一看原来是一个小伙伴做好了服装呀。她扮演的是公主，怪不得很漂亮。大家各自都做好了自己的服装和道具。“开演！”我像个导演似的喊着。“啦啦啦！”一位公主唱着歌，突然一个恶魔出现公主面前，把公主抓走了。“啊！”一位英姿飒爽的王子听到了，直奔从那个声音传来的地方，等王子到那个地方时，只留下了一张纸条：想让公主没事，就让我当王。王子看了，直奔魔王宫，在魔王殿上把公主救了回来，便把恶魔杀了。

突然，妈妈进来了，一看我们这个样子吓晕了过去，我们把妈妈扶进房间。过了一会儿，妈妈醒了，妈妈急忙对我说：“家里有魔鬼。”我们一听哈哈大笑，点把事情的经过告诉了妈妈，妈妈一听也哈哈大笑起来。

难忘的童年生活很快乐，也很有趣。

童年是多姿多彩的，童年的阳光是灿烂的；童年的歌声是响亮的；童年的生活是五彩缤纷、无忧无虑的，童年带给我们许多的欢乐与美好的憧憬。

第一张是我和爸爸妈妈奶奶在麦当劳吃饭时照的：上面的我一不小心拿了爸爸的汉堡，我轻轻地咬了一口，“太辣了，太辣了，快给我水喝！”我大声说。爸爸偷偷地把我拍了下来，瞧，上面的我正吐着舌头呢！

第二张是爸爸带我到麦当劳过生日的照片：我们在一起玩“快拥抱”这个游戏，阿姨把游戏清清楚楚地说了一遍。我们先围成一个圆圈，阿姨说：“这首儿歌是：马兰花，马兰花，风吹雨打都不怕，勤劳的人们在说话请你马上开朵花。”“开几朵花？”“开四朵。”我们四个人马上抱在一起，多了一个人，他要表演一个小节目。爸爸看我们玩的非常开心，就帮我拍了下来。

第三张是我六岁时在太湖鼋头渚拍的：我坐在船上，做了一个斗鸡眼，爸爸马上抢拍下来。

童年是美丽的花儿，绽放着甜甜的笑容；童年是欢快的童符，发出优美的琴声。我们像小鸟一样在空中自由自在的飞翔，像天使一样的快乐，像小树苗一样在茁壮的成长！

During the winter vacation, nothing is different for my life. I wake up 11 o’clock Am everyday, after a washing, I have a good lunch with my parents. Next I play computer games till the time to have supper. After have dinner. I go on playing till 2 o’clock Am, and then go to sleep with tired. This is one dull day of my winter vacation.

寒假期间，我的生活没有什么不同。每天早上十一点我醒来，洗后，我和我的父母有一个很好的午餐。然后我玩电脑游戏，直到吃晚饭的时间。晚餐后。我继续玩到凌晨二点，然后去睡觉了。这是我寒假无聊的一天。

But I haven’t bored all the time. Sometimes I read the books, sometime I listen to the music or the radio in the bed，because it was very cold outside and snowy all the day. And I also meat some of my good friends during the vacation ,we have a very long talk about the life of each other in the past year and play table tennis tegether .And I watched the spring festival party of the CCTV in the last seconds of the 2004 year! I think this is the thing most people of china doing at that time.

但我还没有厌倦所有的时间。有时我读的书，有时我听音乐或收音机在床上，因为外面很冷而且整天下雪。我还肉我的一些好朋友在假期，我们在过去的一年里对彼此的生活很长的谈话和打乒乓球。我看了中央电视台春节晚会在2004年最后一秒!我认为这是中国的大多数人当时做的。

That’s all, all my dull, coldly and snowy winter vacation.

这一切，我所有的乏味，冷冷地和冬季度假。

我在幼儿园的时候，很喜欢拿着粉笔创作一些自己的涂鸦，妈妈怕我到处留下我的 真迹 ，专门给我买了一块专用的小黑板。可是我画着画着就会情不自禁的画到黑板外面，洁白的墙面上出现了一道道粉笔印。妈妈为这警告过我好几次，手心还挨过打，可是我还是常常忘记，无奈妈妈最终决定那面墙壁归我管辖。从此，那面墙上变出现了奥特曼、飞机、房屋 ，还有我沾满分别粉笔颜色的手掌印。

7岁那年我开始上学了，那片五彩缤纷的涂鸦墙焕然一新，上面挂上了拼音表、看图识字的挂画，这样的举措卓有成效。每天早上出门前我会看到，每天回家不经意还会看到。还有我的一些美术作品，爸爸妈妈的电话号码。期末妈妈还开辟出一块奖罚墙，把我得到的奖状挂在上面，也会把我的检查贴在上面，这面墙陪伴过度过一天天 。

转眼三年级了，我写字比较慢，作业对我而言就像孙悟空身上的五指山，压得透不过气来，我完成作业我手忙脚乱。这面学习墙又在帮我排忧解难，一面墙壁上贴着要求背诵的古诗、名言;英语的句型和单词;利用零碎的时间来帮助加强记忆。

后来我们办了搬了新家，可是墙壁依然是我学习的重要伙伴。我的学习计划、经常出错的数学题、近义词反义词写在便利贴、静电纸上，五颜六色的纸片像是给洁白的墙壁穿上美丽的衣裳。

一面面墙壁默默无闻，陪伴我从幼儿园到五年级，冰冷的墙壁在我心中是那样的温暖和亲切，他提醒着我、陪伴着我。

我童年的学校是厚重的墙壁，你的呢?

human life can not continue without science and technology. for many years, human society has developed with the advance of science and technology while the development of science and technology has in turn brought the process to mankind. so the life we are living now is more civilized than that of our fore fathers.

the development of science and technology have brought about many changes in peoples life. for eample, the invention of television and space rocket have opened a new era for mankind. through the use of tv people can hear the sound and learn the events happening thousands of miles away. owing to the invention of spaceship and rocket, the dream of mans landing on the moon has now come true.

science and technology also play an important role in our socialist construction. we may say, our socialist construction is just like a skyscraper, while science and technology are its base. without the base, the skyscraper cant be built. therefore, we should try our best to contribute to the development of science and technology so as to provide a more solid base to build our country.

在我记忆的长河中，童年的时光是最难忘的，它是五彩缤纷的，更是充满快乐的。

童年像一把大伞，大伞下是我们欢乐的笑声；童年像一朵七色花，每一片花瓣都放射出五颜六色的光芒；童年是一条河，我们像一条鱼，在河里欢快的游来游去。

在我的童年里，也有无数的星星点点……

一次，我闲着没事，准备给爸妈做饭。心想：爸妈每天都在挣钱让我们哥俩读书，非常辛苦，我怎么回报爸妈呢？就给爸妈做饭吧。一个大胆的念头出现在我的心中，因为我从来没有做过饭，一向都是妈妈做的。

我先把米放在电饭锅里，加好水，插上电，就去做菜，我把土豆洗净去皮，然后就开始生火，生了一次不燃，两次也不燃，直到生了十多次，这时，我也像个大花猫了。土豆切好了，我开始炒，先放好油，再加上盐，土豆做好了，又开始做青菜，先加上一升水，再放入青菜，就等着它煮开了，我忙了好一阵子，终于把饭做好了。

过了一会儿，爸妈回来了，看见我做的饭菜，都满意地点了点头。正准备吃时，爸妈一看我做的饭可傻眼了，饭糊得就像黑炭一样，土豆也是没盐，青菜也没油，妈妈吃了几口都吐了出来，弄得我怪不好意思，心里很是过意不去。

现在，一想起这件事我都觉得不好意思，我怎么也不会忘记。

Presently， a new lifestyle called low carbon life is spreading every corner of our country. The concepts of low carbon are low energy and no waste. It is such a significant project that I can‘t wait to present my ideas on how to promote it.

目前，新的生活方式称为低碳生活传播我们国家的每一个角落。低碳的概念是低能耗和废物。这是个重大项目，我迫不及待地表达我的想法如何实现它。

On the first place， a no-car day is supposed to set up every week in our school. Because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy. On no-car day， neither students nor teachers are allowed to drive to school. Meanwhile， just walk， jump， cycle or run. Use our legs and enjoy the fun.

在第一个地方，一个无车日应该是在我们学校设立每周。因为汽车不仅会造成严重的空气污染，又浪费能源。对无车日，学生和老师都不允许开车去学校。同时，只是走，跳，循环或运行。使用我们的腿和享受的乐趣。

On the second place， we had best not use plastic bags any more. No one can stand the “white pollution”。 So， it is wise to use bags which can be reused again and again. Finally， one thing that we should keep in mind： every big thing comes from the subtle. Therefore， as students， we ought to turn out the lights the moment we leave， turn off the tap in time， and reuse our textbook and so on.

第二，我们最好不要使用塑料袋再。没有人能忍受“白色污染”。因此，使用袋可重复使用一次又一次是明智的。最后，有一件事，我们应该牢记：每一个大的东西都来自微妙。因此，作为学生，我们应该关灯当我们离开，关闭水龙头的时间，我们的教科书和重用等。

All in all， it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice. Just set our mind to these： no-car day， no plastic bags， and no waste. Let‘s do it now.

总之，它的重量为我们所有人付诸实践低碳生活。只是这些设置我们的思想：无车日，没有塑料袋，没有浪费。让我们现在就做。

Summer can be very hot in southern taibei where the temperature usually goes up to 32"C or more. Because of the heat it is a trying experience to go to school or do anything else in a place that is not air-conditioned. Also because of this I stay at home most of the time during the summer vacation and only occasionally go to the beach to plunge myself into the cool water as a way to keep my body less sticky. Actually I like swimming and think nothing is more refreshing than a swim. In the summer vacation that has just ended I went swimming many times with my classmates and we all had a good time. This summer vacation, however, was not spent entirely in seeking fun. As a second-year senior student I had to prepare myself for the college entrance examinations that were only a year away. In other words, I must find time to study, too. So I divided my time between work and play during the summer vacation and derived much benefit from this arrangement.

I spent this summer vacation in quite a different way. I used to run about every day in previous summer vacations, but this summer vacation I simply could not afford to do so. I would soon be in the last year of my high-school education and would after graduation be up against the college entrance examinations. Though those examinations were still a year away, I had to start early to make myself well prepared by reviewing all those things I had learned at school and this summer vacation was the ideal time for me to do this. At first I was rather dismayed at the thought of this, but later I thought it was better this way because by working hard this summer I could count on endless happy summers to come. With this in mind I then set to work like anything and only occasionally went out for a change or did some physical. I was not at all bored by this kind of life, for I was sustained by a hope.

My grade school days are the most wonderful time I have ever had. In those days I always wanted as eagerly to learn as a dog prowls about in search of food. The teachers taught me not only the three R’s but also the way to observe the world surrounding us. They laid more stress on observation than on memorization. Thus we had much time to talk over and trade our learning experiences. What excited me most during my grade school days, however, was to be out collecting specimens of the butterfly. Once, on a sunny day and after walking a good while, we reached a one began to catch the butterflies with great excitement while the teacher told us about the living habit of them. Though we spent more time in playing than in catching butterflies, we still had a rich collection when we went home, and a rich knowledge of wildlife into the bargain. After I attended junior high school I did not have much of an opportunity to learn the way I did in grade school, but did not regret because we are bound to go through various stages of life. Anyway, my grade school education was the cornerstone of my later learning career and for that single reason, if not for any other, I am grateful to it.
