关于给圣诞老人的一封信推荐三篇 作文英语【精选20篇】

A poet leads me to a branch road: on one side, there are lots of sweet

apples, lovely and charming; on the other, there is a patch of thorn, what hides

behind the success of struggling against the thorn is a splendid palace. I

deeply know that if I choose the apples, I will give up a precious opportunity

of becoming a queen; While if I choose to challenge, I have to say farewell to

the apples. Which one should I choose?

Just like the branch road, we have to make a lot of choices during our

lifetime. It is usually considered that we are choosing what to gain, to own,

but in my opinion, we are just choosing to give up.

Choosing to be a teacher means giving up the life as rich as a business

man;

Choosing to be a top student means giving up much leisure time in front of

the TV.

Sure, it’s a torture, but we must judge carefully what is more important,

then give up the others. Don’t think of them any more, just focus all your

spirit on what you are doing.

I myself, who is standing here, have already chosen to challenge in such a

great competition, so I have to give up ten days of normal classes in school and

relaxation without pressure. But I am still pleased, because giving up properly

makes me stick to my choice.

Let’s return to our branch road, which one will your choose? I choose to

challenge here!

一位诗人把我引到一个岔路口：一边是甘甜的苹果，鲜艳而诱人;另一边是一条荆棘之路，但隐藏在与荆棘搏斗的成功之后是一座富丽的宫殿。我深深地明白：如果我选择那些苹果，我将失去一个可能成为女王的良机，与此同时，如果我选择挑战那些荆棘，那会很艰辛，而且我又必须与可爱的苹果告别，我该选择哪一个呢?

正如这个岔路口一般，生活中的我们面临多种选择。人们通常认为，我们在选择去获得什么，拥有什么，但在我看来，我们在选择放弃什么。

选择作一名老师意味着放弃了像商人一样奢华富有的生活。

选择作一名顶尖学生意味着放弃了许多在电视机前的闲暇时间。

当然，放弃的选择是一种苦难，但我们必须用心审度，什么对自己来说更为重要，做出选择，然后放弃其他，不要再回首想那些已放弃的东西，把精力集中于你正在做的事。

站在这里的我，已选择了在这样大规模的比赛中挑战自我，所以我必须放弃十天的正常功课和没有压力的轻松感。但我依然高兴，因为适宜的放弃弃之后，我更加专注于自己的选择。

让我们回到那个岔路口吧，你会选择哪一个呢?我，选择挑战此地!

Since the swallow had brought back the prince’s red gem, he could at last

stay; but one night as soon as he was about to return to the Egypt, the happy

prince said to the little swallow, “OH little swallow, please stay with me for

one last night?” the swallow replied, “Oh dear prince, I couldn’t stay with you

any longer, my friends are waiting for me and…” “Oh please little swallow, you

must obey me;” the swallow sighed and said, “All right I shall stay with you for

one last night.”

The swallow then took a breath, after that he continued, “What is the

request that you want me to do dear prince?” the prince said to the swallow,

“See that poor old man writing a story, he is very hungry; and I could tell by

his face,” “What do you want me to give to him dear prince?” asked the swallow,

as if he had so many questions to ask; “I want you to take out my blue eye ball,

it is like a gem, and bring it to the man so that he could finish his act; and

be happy once more.”

At these words the swallow said, “OH my dear prince, I couldn’t do that! I

swear! Because…” “No little swallow, you must do what I say, and help that poor

man!” at these words, the swallow had no choice but to obey, he took out the

other prince’s eye; with a squeak, as if he was helping the poor prince to

recover from his pain.

When the swallow flew to the man with the blue sapphire gem, he felt the

warm wind of the spring dancing around in his brain. When he arrived, he placed

the gem under the man’s face, and flew back to the prince. When he returned, the

prince asked the swallow, “Did you succeed?” asked the prince joyfully, “I did,

and I hope the man enjoys it too.

The man awoke eventually, when he saw the blue sapphire gem; he said

happily, “What on the world is this? somebody actually likes my plays, yes! Now

I can finish my play;” and he began to write. The next day, the swallow flew

away to Egypt and before that he said to the prince, “I am going to fly away to

Egypt today and…” “Oh please little swallow, oh please can you stay with me for

one last night?” but the swallow was very satisfied, “But, dear prince; I can’t

do that, my friends are waiting for me and it is getting colder and colder here;

I have to go to Egypt, where the sun is hot, and it is warm and cool there;”

“You must little swallow, you must stay with me for one last night,” “Dear

prince, I couldn’t and…” “Swallow this can’t be, you have to stay with me; I

command you!” the little swallow had no choice but to obey.

“Okay prince, what is your command?” “See that poor little girl on the

road, she is selling matches; it is Christmas day, and she hadn’t even sold one

match. But she dares not to go home; because her father was a cruel man, and he

would punish her and hit her hard and say mean words to her if she doesn’t bring

home any money. She is crying bitterly, and I want you to do something that I

want; which is very important, I now realize that helping people is good since

it feels good.”

“Well what do you suggest me to do dear prince?” “I want you to take my

sword’s red gem off again, and give it to her so that she can bring home,” “OH

my dear prince!” shouted the swallow in the loudest voice, “I can’t do that, you

will lose your sword’s red gem and…” “No swallow, you must do what I tell you,

or face your doom!” and so the swallow brought the red gem to the little girl by

wings, the little girl looks at it and smiled, “That is nice! But it is still

not enough as my father wished me to give it to him;” then she began to sigh and

cry again, the swallow heard what the girl had just said; he said to himself,

“What a picky girl!” when he flew back, he didn’t tell the prince the message

that he had just received from the little girl; but he still was very cold.

He knew that since he did not help the poor little girl, he felt bad; and

so that was the reason why he was cold. He was very sad; and when he was about

to fly to Egypt, the prince said to the swallow, “I see that you are very sad

these days; I wonder what is the matter, tell me?” the swallow did not speak,

the prince forced the swallow to tell him; but he still didn’t say anything. At

last the prince said, “If you don’t tell me I will put dynamites on your head

and blow you up! I was trying to help you!”

At these words the swallow was so scared that he said out loud, “I heard

the little girl say that that wasn’t enough to pay for his father, and so I

didn’t tell you because I thought that you would not like it and…”

“Oh my dear swallow, why on earth would you think I will not help a little

girl? And why on earth would you not tell me about this?” the spell was broken,

the prince turned to real life, and jumped down from the statue’s stand, “Thank

you dear swallow, you have broke the spell, and now I can live on land once

more.

That was the end of the happy prince. During the lives when he was a golden

statue, he realized how important everybody was to him, and that how important

helping people is.

Dear Tom,

I’m so hapy to learn that you want to learn Chinese in Zunyi Teachers’

College here.There is no doubt that to learn Chinese well is by no means an easy

thing, but I have some ideas that may help.

Firstly, it is important to listen to the teacher carefully in class and

take notes so that you can go over your lessons later.Secondly, try to practise

speaking Chinese as much as possible out of class and write down whatever you

hear to accunulate more commonly-used words and idioms.Don’t be afraid of making

mistakes.And try to communicate with local people to develop your listening

ability.Last but not least, you should organize your time and do lots of

exercise.

I think the most important thing is that you should believe in yourself.I’m

sure that you will suceed after your hard work.

Yours,

Wang Hua

Nowadays，with the popularity of Internet，people like to talk or make

comments on the hot news，then they create many popular languages and they spread

so fast that a lot of people will talk in slangs.Some people advise to cancel

the use of the slang，but I dont think it is a good choice.People know they

shouldnt use these slangs on official papers，they use them only in the private

occasions.Whats more，slangs provides a funny way for people to express

themselves and it is a good way to show humor.I am a great supporter of these

slangs，because I can talk happily with my friends.

Good evening, Dear judges, ladies and gentlemen, my name is HeYi, I am from

class 165, today I am very glad to give my speech here, and my topic is

Life.

As we know, life is precious and only one time for every person. So dream

what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because

you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

The happiest of people dont necessarily have the best of everything; they

just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched,

and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people

who have touched their lives.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.

Live your life so that when you die, youre the one who is smiling and everyone

around you is crying.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you

strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. Ten

thousand years are too long, seize the day, seize the hour!

Think you for your listening!

to move the bread dregs, then the bread dregs which moves oneself toward the

lair in ships, got up before long on the platoon the long troop.Some several

ants are moving two biggest bread block son, but looks like the appearance which

hole. Under this I have shocked, original small ant unexpectedly like this

intelligent, they depend upon collective the strength, has together completed

the matter which this as if not impossible to complete, this matter let me

understand: The human multi-strengths are big, the people ascend the firewood

flame to be high, only then everybody unites, works as one, can do very much

well the matter.

亲爱的杨翘小朋友：

你好！

又是一年一度的平安夜，我悄悄地溜进了你的房间，看着你酣睡的小模样，呼吸声均匀地吸进去，呼出来，我想你一定在做一个棒极了的美梦吧！此时的梦里，是否有一个拥有雪白的大胡子，头上戴着一顶红彤彤的尖帽子，肩上扛了一大袋丰盛礼物的老爷爷呢？走进你的房间，映入眼帘的是一个伫立在书桌旁的大书柜，里面的书可真是琳琅满目啊，文学类、科普类、小说、杂志……“这些书一定是你的宝物吧！”我小声呢喃着，“哐”的一声，我的脚好像碰到了什么，我蹲下身子，仔细一看，发现脚边有一个大大的塑料箱子，我轻手轻脚地把箱子打开，不禁大吃一惊，只见里面整整齐齐地摆着各式各样的手工工具，箱子中央的方形塑料盒里，是形态各异的精美的小蛋糕，原来你是一个粘土手工爱好者呀。哦，我记起来了，我在云霄里还看到过你做手工呢，你那专注的小眼神，捏、压、揉，搓，你的动作可真娴熟。连我这个老人也忍不住动起了手指，模仿着你的动作。你的爱好造就了你拥有良好的动手能力，所以，上手工课时，你根本不需要老师怎么教就能独立完成一个个精美的手工作品。

舞蹈也是你割舍不去的爱好，当我在柔软的白云上优哉悠哉地打着小盹时，你已经在舞蹈房里挥洒汗水了，你压腿、劈叉、开胯……承受疼痛时，你总是紧咬着双唇，不哼不叫，在练功的过程中，很多人都退缩了，而你整整坚持了6年。四年级时，你第一次参加三独比赛，就获得了区里和市里的独舞一等奖，可是跳这曲《簸谷》时，由于老师的严厉要求，你含着眼泪跳了三节课才把舞蹈要表达的意境很好地展现出来，到现在，你都还记得老师的那句大喊吧，我在云端都能听得到呢：“跳，再跳，一直给我跳到极限。”连在旁边陪伴的妈妈都忍不住别过了脸。教过你的几个舞蹈老师都说：“翘翘是一个天生会舞蹈的女孩，加强基本功练习，一直跳下去，舞蹈会伴随着你的成长，也会带给你美妙的享受。”看来，你的舞蹈水平也属于小范围内的佼佼者了。

听说你的国际象棋也下得不错哦，就在上周末，你参加了湖南省的国际象棋比赛，一年没怎么练棋的你竟然拿到了全省第五，真不错！我猜你心中也是汹涌澎湃吧，从你洋溢着笑容的脸上可以看出，你是多么激动开心，在远方的我也打心眼里为你高兴呢！

当一阵流水般的琴声从我耳旁掠过时，噢，你开始练古筝了，清脆的节拍器声与你的琴音相互唱和着，悠扬、悦耳。现在的你，古筝弹得越来越好了，左右手指的配合也愈发的灵活，什么《渔舟唱晚》《浏阳河》《高山流水》，这些经典的曲目，你都能倒背如流地弹出来，可见你是多么的用功，多么的努力，你的识谱能力也越来越强，一段普通的乐曲你能看着谱子就顺利地弹出来，看来你三年的学习没有白费。

但是，看似完美的你却有许多的不足之处：古筝依然要妈妈催着喊着才练。不要以时间紧为借口，时间就像海绵里的水，只要你挤，总是会有的；其次，你的办事效率需要高点，再高点，拖拖拉拉的坏毛病要尽快改掉，否则到了初中你会更加手忙脚乱；还有，学习一定要沉下心来，细心、扎实，对奥数不要有畏难情绪，只有你真正走入了它的内心，彻底理解它，你才会发现它温顺可人的一面。

我希望你持之以恒，不要轻易放弃自己喜欢的事物，包括学习。坚持是一个人最宝贵的优秀品质。

我希望你继续善良，用你应有的天真去面对这个世界。对世界温柔以待，世界也一定会馈赠你同样的温柔。

我希望你自信，不要被任何纸老虎打败，不要轻易低头。

我希望你笑靥如花，脸上那抹微笑是你的标志，让微笑每天都荡漾在你的脸上，那你的世界将是快乐而又美好的。

我希望你努力拼搏在这个温情的世界里，只有去逼一逼自己，你才发现自己的潜能是有多么的大。

东方吐白了，再见了，小朋友，我的十二只驯鹿还在家门口等着我呢，等到你醒来时，你床边会有一个装着神秘礼物的袜子哟，请打开它，它一定会带给你吉祥，带给你好运。

Ali Baba quickly got as many bags of gold as his mules could carry, and

then put them in the sack; after that he placed the wood upon the gold so firmly

that the gold couldn’t be seen.

Then Ali Baba rode home with his mules, and carried the wood with bags of

gold into the house. After placing them on the floor, his wife came out with

porridge, “How are you today?” and his wife; Ali Baba smiled, “Better than

usual,” then he quickly poured the wood out, and under it was bags of gold. Ali

Baba’s wife was also astonished to find their good fortune. Ali Baba was pleased

as well.

His wife loved the gold so much, that she wanted to know how many pieces

there were. After dinner, his wife began to count, but Ali Baba stopped her and

said, “Wife, as much as it is to hear but you will never finish counting; if you

don’t finish today and wait for tomorrow then you will have to start from

scratch again.”

“You are right husband, but I still want to figure how much we have. How

about this, I will go to your brother Cassim’s house and borrow a measure, and

then measure how much we have, okay?” Ali Baba agreed, for he was almost the

person in the world to find out how much they have.

And so the next morning Ali Baba’s wife went to Cassim’s house to borrow a

measure, Cassim’s wife came out and said, “Sister, we have lots of measures; you

are welcome to borrow any one of them.” And then she went to the basement, and

got a bag of measure, and then Ali Baba’s wife picked one and went back to her

house. When she approached, she knelt down and began to measure. After a short

time, she went to Cassim’s house again to return the measure, not noticing that

one piece of gold coin stuck to the bottom of the measure. “Here you are

sister,” she said as she put the measure down, “I have finished using it.” And

then went away.

Cassim’s wife did not take long to realize the piece of pure gold coin. She

took it off and called Cassim, “Husband, I know you suspect that you are a rich

fellow; but your brother Ali Baba is ten times as rich as you, he does not count

his money; but measures them.”

Cassim looked at the gold coin and knew at once, “Ali Baba just pretended

that he was a poor fellow and borrows anything we have,” Cassim was not even

pleased at his brother’s good fortune, but was the opposite. And then Cassim led

his wife to Ali Baba’s house, “Ali Baba, tell me, where did you get all of this

good fortune.” At that moment, Ali Baba knew that the secret had been spread

though his own wife’s stupidity. “Look Ali Baba, if you don’t tell me where you

got this gold; I shall tell everybody, and not only will you get no more, but

you will have no more gold in the rest of your life! Ha!” laughed Cassim.

And so Ali Baba told him where he found the gold, and even the words he

knew of how to make the door open and shut. And so Cassim woke up early the next

morning, and took with his ten donkeys to fill the gold. He arrived at the place

where Ali Baba had told him, and pronounced these words, “Open Sesame!” the door

instantly opened wide, and inside of course; he found a chamber of pure gold,

and in it was gold.

Cassim filled as many bags of gold as he wanted. But when the robbers

arrived he was still filling. When the robbers found out, they used their swords

and soon killed him.

The phone rings. He hears the ringing. He picks up the phone. He says

hello. The other person says hello. The other person is his mom. She talks to

him. He talks to her. She finishes talking. She says goodbye. He says goodbye.

They hang up. He waits. The phone rings again.

After the death of Cassim, Ali Baba wanted revenge from those terrible

robbers, and so thought of a plan. When his wife and he finished their porridge,

Ali Baba used his money and bought as much oil as his three mules could carry;

and then disguised himself as the king’s peasant.

When it was the afternoon, Ali Baba tied the jars of oil to his three

mules, and then set off to where the rock is. When the robbers arrived they saw

Ali Baba in the disguise of a peasant, they said, “Dear king’s peasant, we wish

to let you move aside, so that we could get something that could make our

life-a-a-a-better,” “Okay dear boys, but first I want you to have some of this

oil which is fresh made. They are very cheap.”

The robbers argued with Ali Baba until they said, okay, but first you step

aside while we get something in the cave; and then come out to buy some oil;”

then they drove Ali Baba away for about a kilometer away from the rock, and then

went back to get their money. The captain of the robbers said, “Open sesame!”

and the door flew wide open, and then they walked inside. After a short time

they came back, they loaded some wood so as to pretend they went there just to

get wood; and then rode off to where Ali Baba stood staring at them eagerly.

“Okay king’s peasant,” said the captain of the robbers, “We shall drink the

oil in which you requested us to do;” and so Ali Baba gave them each a scoop of

oil to drink, and then went back himself.

The next day he went to where the robbers lived, since oil can make people

dizzy, they probably should wake up very, very late. And so he took with him a

can of white paint, and painted their house door with it; then without a word to

say, he carved, “Put the robbers in jail, they stole some money and pretended

that they were nice!”

After a short time he found the robbers waking up, and then dressing up.

They found out all the people in town were staring at their door, they thought,

“Look Erick! They must think our door is pretty indeed. ”And then all the

robbers went out and waved here and there without even noticing that on their

door was the sign. And so they had to be arrested. After a few minutes when they

opened their eyes, they were in jail. And they had a guard to guard the lock,

and so they couldn’t get the keys and come out.

The robbers were not happy, but they said, “Chill up,” to every other

robber because that they had a sick plan.

My mother is the most diligent person in my house, she takes care of me all

the time and does all the housework. As I grow up, I realize that my mother is

such a great woman, what she does for us surpasses everything. I find my

mother’s hands are not as smooth as other person’s, but in my eyes, they are the

most beautiful hands.

Dear Mary,

Thanks for your last letter. Im so glad that you have been able (at last!

) to arrange a holiday in Australia. As I fear I wont be able to meet you at

the airport when you arrive, nor will I be able to be home until later in the

afternoon, so here are some instructions and suggestions. There is a bus from

the airport to the city. It is much cheaper than a cab. Take the bus to the city

and ask to get off at Town Hall railway station. To get to my place in the

eastern suburbs you have three options. You can either take a cab, a bus or the

train. I suggest you take the train, since the airport bus will leave you right

at the station. Get off at Cliff Station. From there you can either walk to my

place (about ten minutes) or take a taxi. Probably you should take a taxi as you

will have luggage.

When you arrive at my flat, ring the intercom for Flat 2. My friend Lillian

will be at home and she will open the front door for you and let you into my

flat. Presumably you will be tired and want to sleep. But if you feel like some

exercise after that long flight, you could stroll down to Cooper Park, which is

only ten minutes away ? you can see it from the window. Cheers and looking

forward to seeing you.

Yours sincerely,

Annie

P.S. I will leave something for breakfast in the fridge. Help yourself to

anything you want.

May Day is coming. I?m so happy because my father and my mother take me to

WuQuan Park this holiday. In the park, I see many trees and beautiful flowers.

There are many children and many happy playing games, too.

My parents take me to the zoo. There are lions, tigers, eagles, bears,

deer, monkeys, and so on. I like the monkeys best because they are very clever

and they make us laugh. How lovely they are!

I have a good time that day. What a beautiful and happy holiday.

Hello , everybody! Do you know me ? My name is Liang Qikun. My English name

is Jenny. I am from China . I am ten years old . I am a clever girl . I have

short black hair , big black eyes , big ears , a small nose and a small mouth .

I am not very tall and not very thin . My hobby is reading books . My favourite

sport is adventuring. I can play the piano very well . This is me.

My father is a classic Chinese father. He doesn‘t talk much， but I know he

loves me so much. One time， I don’t feel liking eating anything because of the

hot weather， my father goes out of the house and carry a lot of my favorite

snacks. I feel so moved. His love is so strong， I love my father.

There was once a little turtle that wanted to be the fasted animal in the

jungle, everybody laughed at him and said that he could never be the fasted

animal ever. But the turtle didn’t listen to them, and instead, he decided to

learn and study from the wild hare; he was the fasted animal in the jungle oh

yes. In fact, every animal went to learn from the hare had become the fasted

runners too. When the turtle told the hare that he wanted to be the fasted

runner in the jungle, the hare laughed high over heels aloud; “Oh, oh!” cried

the hare, “Turtle, if you want to be the fasted, then you must get that big

shell of your back, Ha-ha!”

The turtle was not very happy about what he had just heard from the hare,

and he eventually decided to prove to him that it was his duty to be the fasted

runner of the jungle. “How about this, I and you have a race;” said the turtle

suddenly, the hare laughed aloud again, “Oh turtle, turtle; please don’t tell me

that you are not going to give up!” “I am not, I have the heart inside my body,

and I do not believe that I couldn’t be the fasted runner in the jungle!” the

hare then finally agreed to race with him.

When the time arrived, the turtle got ready; when the sound began to blow,

the turtle walked along slowly. While the hare in the other case hopped about

happily. “Does he really think that he could beat me?!” shouted the hare, “That

would be a dream in his brain;” said the hare again. When he was almost at the

finish line, the hare said to him, “I shall take a rest, then when I get up the

turtle still behind my tail; and I cross the finish line, using my rest energy;”

saying that, the hare lay down asleep. The turtle still didn’t give up; he soon

found the hare, and crossed him quietly, when he reached the finish line, he

cried out loud; when the hare woke up, found the turtle still wasn’t in front of

him.

He hopped about happily, and when he reached the line, he found the turtle

already resting on a rock. The hare was so shocked that he lay down on the grass

just like that he fainted. And so the turtle became the champion; nobody ever

laughed at him ever again, and whenever some animals wanted to learn running,

they did not go to ask the hare; since he was not yet the fastest any more,

instead they went to the turtle to get advice from their new jungle running

lesson teacher.
