以our city为题写一篇英文作文汇集19篇

Talking of examinations,I feel that they are one of the important activities in school life.Since the first day I went to school,I have had to deal with them almost every day.All through my secondary school days,I have gone through al kinds of exams,entrance exams,tests,quizzes and so on. I have tasted the flavour of happiness,sadness and laughter.

Before every exam,there is always a certain time for me to suffer.The world before me seems to be sad and gloomy.I feel that all my books are disgusting.During examinations,I am always like a computer.I try hard to squeeze out every piece of information to answer my questions.A machine has no feelings,but I am nervous,my heart beats hard.

After the swesty battle,the world seems to be bright again.A disaster is over.I become lively again,and begin to discuss every problem with my classmates.

Dear Mother,

Hello!

I now apologize to you, last Thursday, I test deduction of nearly 30

points, I think: oh, home will be hit by my mother! If you put it in the bag and

dont take it out, you will be sure to turn it out! Well, play it by ear! Back

home, When I eat bananas, my mother from my schoolbag out of the test roll, a

look, suddenly changed face. I saw that the situation was not good, so I fled to

my room, my mother pursued, also entered my room. Mother shouted: "Come here!!"

I had to obediently past, say that time, the dragon 18 first five has been

pulled out of my ass, suddenly a burst of pain through my whole body. When the

second palm came, My instinct with the hand to block, block, but my mother went

to take a coat hanger, I think: over, mother to hair biao!" Mother like the

arrow from the string rushed over, and then a burst of violence, while playing

cursing: "Play! Play! Play! You play in a day! ..." When my mother played, my

mother also cried, and then, my mother ignored me for a whole day.

Mom, Sorry, I will study hard in the future, no longer put all my mind to

play, no longer let you worry about. I look at the "mom and dad is not my

servant" and "never read for teachers and parents after understand your good

intention, I know, playing on my body, pain in your heart, the main character of

the two books, after come back to poor rural changed a lot, is treated as a

prince before, record is 25th, now he was a modest, sensible child, learning in

the top 11. I want to learn from him. Mom, I wont let you down! Surely not!

Victor Hugo was good at combatting the characteristics and he did pay attention to the struggle between classes. In The Miserable World, the famous book in the world, he describes the changges of the main character, Jean Valjean, from a common human being to devil and then to a lovely angel. He expects that the human has good characters in the society. In the book, he also tells the readers the various aspects in the really world. He hopes that people have good manners and noble moral.

The Miserable World is a novel which reflects the miserable life and the misfortunate of the poor guys in France when it is the middle of nineteen century. The name of the book indicates the suffering from the great difficulities. The book put emphsis on the tradegy and the position of the low classes and this is the most exciting and important aspect, which makes the readers have deep thinking about the life.

In the details of the book, we know the men are upset because they were in the low class and were having a poor life, women’ behavior deviates from what is acceptable especially in sexual behavior because of starving and children are so weak that they can grow strong and keep healthy in the old days of the world. So the author, Victor Hugo, hoped that all the people could have a bright future and have a good life, and the the famous work came into being. We know that the autho, Victor Hugo, had a boarder sense. He thought because if the world continued to stay as it was, the world could come to an end. The great artist were very brave to fight against the old displines. This novel is of great value because it describes history and reality in the past. We, people in modern society, should learn something from it and try to make the world perfect and harmony.

Every family has lots of housework。 Everyone should learn to do some of it。 I often help my parents do housework such as washing clothes， cleaning the room and watering flowers。 I think I‘ve learned how to take good care of myself and my family by doing housework。 Sometimes cleaning all the windows is an enjoyable experience。 I really felt proud of myself。 And doing housework is also a kind of exercise。 The summer holiday is coming。 Im going to learn how to cook some dishes。 My parents will be happy to enjoy them。

Elder sister, my name is XXX, I think I was a lively and cheerful, sunny boy positive. My motto is: simple life, practical work, to do their best. What is the simple life?

Is easy, communication with the people to be polite and friendly, but also keep a smile, with a sincere heart. What is the practical work? Is the treatment of learning and work, have to be out laughing and smiling face, conscientious, strict in demands, for what they are doing to take their share of responsibility. And what is called best? That is the last person to form their own the style, then this Style provides a reference for others to learn and live by themselves and others

Of course, I also have their own shortcomings and deficiencies, such as lack of social experience, not enough work experience, and this is the main reason why I want to join in this department, hope the skills take quite high on their own, to broaden its scope of communication, but also a strength of their own community contributions.

New Year is coming. I have many great New Year’s resolutions. I will study math harder than before because I want to get better grades. I’m going to improve my spoken English because I want communicate with foreigners better in English.

I plan to learn German because I really want to travel to Germany by myself. And I’m going to learn a new instrument, it may be guitar.

As for friends, I’m going to make more good friends. Because I think friendship is important and valuable.

These are my New Year’s resolutions. I’m working hard to make them come true. I trust myself.

It is really my honor to have this opportunity for an interview,

I hope i can make a good performance today. Im confident that I can succeed.

Viewing vs.Reading

The pace of reading, clearly,depends entirely upon the reader. He may read

as slowly or as rapidly as he can or wishes to read. If he does not understand

something, he may stop and reread it, or go in search of elucidation before

continuing.

The reader can accelerate his pace when the material is easy or less

than interesting, and slow down when it is difficult or absorbing.

If what he

reads is moving, he can put down the book for a few moments and cope with his

emotions without fear of losing anything.

We are so pleased that you are willing to share our views.

In the course of the general revision,What we need is solid foundation. Methods are vital,so could you please introduce some learning keys?We think it can help us much better.

Could you please teach us slower? We should have time to understand everything we learnt .Then we can learn the nature not the surface.

We also need to practice the important and easily wrong difficulties again and again. And we wont get puzzled when we meet the similar questions.

Doing homework is a way to make sure if all of us can control the knowledge.We hope that there will be less homework in order to increase the quality.

Besides,inspire us more and well do better than before.

Yours,

English is one of my best subjects and I started learning English when I

was ten years old. But at the very beginning, listening seemed a little

difficult for me. So I have been doing a lot of listening practice, such as

listening to tapes, watching English TV programs. And I found it really helped a

lot. In fact, there are some more helpful ways to learn English well. For

example, I enjoy singing English songs and I want to join an English club or

find a pen pal from English-speaking countries. I believe that nothing is

impossible if you put your heart into it。

Today is fathers day. Im going to buy a gift for my dad with my pocket

money, so I "kill" the little fat piggy bank.

I walked into the room and said to my father, "dad, I broke something."

Father got angry, blew his beard and stared, and he kicked me in the ass without

saying a word. I was kicked out.

I took my pocket money and didnt go back to the shoe store. At the shoe

store, I said to my bosss shoes, "buy an adults shoes." The boss say: "you are a

child, how can buy adults shoes?" I told my boss it was for my father. The boss

asked me again, "how big is your fathers foot?" I turned my butt up and showed

him the footprints of my father. The boss was surprised at first, but he

immediately responded, laughing and saying, "youve got your size on your

ass."

今天是父亲节。我要拿着零花钱买礼物给爸爸，所以我把存钱的小肥猪“杀”了。

我神秘兮兮地走进房间对爸爸说：“爸爸我不小心打破了东西。”爸爸生气了，吹胡子瞪眼睛的，一句话也没说，就一脚踢到了我的屁股上。我被踢了出去。

我拿着零花钱，头也不回地往鞋店跑去。到了鞋店，我对老板大人的鞋说：“买一双大人的鞋。”老板说：“你是小孩，怎么能买大人的鞋呢?”我告诉老板是给爸爸买的。老板又问我：“你爸爸的脚有多大?”我就把屁股翘起来给老板看爸爸踢的脚印。老板起初很惊讶，但他马上就反应了过来，笑着说：“原来你已经把尺寸画在屁股上了。”

Time is like a river that never stops, in a hurry and quietly flowing through the people. Unwittingly, a memorable 20XX year in a hurry, ushered in a new year, the beginning of another journey. I opened my eyes for 20XX.

Our class held a celebration of new years day in 20XX. Before our beginning, our teacher repeatedly told our classmates that the blackboard must be well decorated. Our team activities today can only begin. The host announced the 5 (8) class, celebrating the beginning of the new years day. First, the "Fan Dance" of group 48, dancing in the fan dance, like a Wei Xianzi

Dear Zhang Wei,

I’m glad to know that you are coming to my city during the summer vacation.

However, I’m afraid there’s some bad news. I’m planning to take part in an international conference to be held in another city during the time of your visit.

All the top scientists in my field will show up at the conference. More importantly, I’m lucky enough to have been selected to give a speech on behalf of my research team at the Conference. I really can’t miss it.

I understand that it’ll be your first time to this city and I’m your only friend here. I’ve asked my roommate to meet you at the airport, and you can stay in my room.

He is a very nice person and he will show you around the city. Hope you two will get on well and have a nice holiday!

Yours,

Li Ming

Its very important for us to protect the environment. All of us want to live in a better place, so its our duty to beautfy the environment. As a senior high school student, we should do something.

Above all, we should never throw rubbish ourself. We must keep this rule, and then influence the others. Whats more, we should care more about the environment. For instance, we should read newspapers about the globle environment problems and think deep about them. Last but not the least, we ought to promote the importance of protecting the environment. In this way, we can call on more and more people to join us.

Lets take actions as soon as possible! Lets protect the earth, and live a better environment.
