大学的生活用英语怎么说汇集20篇

Before I entered the middle school, I felt so worried about the life in

middle school, because my cousin told me that I would have to compete with so

many excellent students. Now I get used to the life, I learn many subjects from

Monday to Friday. Though I always meet the difficulties in learning the new

knowledge, I get help from my teachers and classmates. I am not afraid of the

middle school life again, I am so excited to learn new things every day. In the

future days, I will meet many challenges, I believe I can get over them. Life in

middle school has happiness and sorrow, they fulfill my life.

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

古人常言道：“十年寒窗苦读日，一朝金榜题名时”古人为之心驰神往的是一纸金榜题名，而我们现代学子们奋斗整整十二载，也就是为了能考取自己梦寐以求的心仪的大学。

也许是我还只是个高中生，对于大学既感到陌生，又感到好奇，还是充满了很多美好的想象：

在大学中，我们可以放慢脚步，在青春的尾巴里享受大学生活。我们可以在图书馆里阅读经典名作，代替那些尾随了我们十多年的教辅书，提高自我的文学修养；我们也可以在大学的林荫大树下，缓步踩在蓬松的落叶上，呼吸着沁人心脾的空气，感受鸟语花香，沉静自己浮躁的心灵，欣赏大自然的风采；我们更可以参加精彩纷呈的派对，丰富多彩的社团活动，各种各样的讲座，发挥自己的特长，培养团队精神和协作意识……

在大学中，不仅有这种小资生活，更多的还会是学习生活。不过没有了繁重的作业和高考的压力，我们可以真正去选择自己感兴趣的专业，学习到丰富多彩却并不局限于课本的知识。那里会有良好的学习氛围，一起努力奋斗的同学们，更有知识渊博、亦师亦友的教授陪伴我们左右。可以让我们在毕业的那一刻感到骄傲，并且知道自己的目标与方向，让我们在回顾这段时光的时候可以引以为豪的说：我在大学真正地成长了！

在大学中，四年的学习生活会教育我们如何把我们熟练掌握的知识运用到实际中，独立的宿舍生活会在潜移默化中培养我们独生子女的自理能力，接触更多的同学和老师则会告诉我们为人处世的道理……所以大学不仅是学习知识的课堂，更可以被看成是一个社会的缩影，在这里积累经验，为我们今后的人生之路打下最坚实的基础。

但我知道，现实总是残酷的。身处大学的我们已经开始正式面临人生的挑战，还有许多我们无法想象的困难和难以预知的挫折正等待着我们一一攻克，我们只有坚持我们理想，继续坚定不移地走下去，相信我们一定能看到未来希望的曙光！

总而言之，大学就是这样有良师、亦有益友，有欢笑、亦有泪水，有成功、亦有失败的地方，于我们来说就是快乐的生活、社会的缩影、未来的希望！我们一定会为了我们理想的大学，在这高中三年里奋力拼搏，实现我们的追求！

I did a great thing in the winter holiday.One day,I was going to the book store and suddenly I found a paper money which worth 100 RMB.I looked around and picked it up.At first,I wanted to use it and I can save my own money.However,I thought a lot and I decided to wait for the person who lost the money at last.10 mintues later,a little boy who was anxious came towards me and asked me if I had picked up 100 yuan.I handed the money to him and he was surprised to get the money back.I was very happy when he said "thank you" to me.then I went back home with a big smile.

Nowadays ,many people are talking about low carbon living. I think each and every one of us is responsible for the greenhouse gases we emit in our daily actions and choices. Therefore, combating climate change is going to take the combined efforts of everyone on the planet.

2010 World Expo was held in Shanghai. Shanghai Expo theme is "Better City, Better Life." As a student, we should do something about environmental protection. For example, plant trees, save water and less your car.

My past university

I want to talk about my past university—Shan Xi Da Tong University. It not only provided me learning environment, but also provided me social practice platform. That is to say, I am not only acquired basic knowledge but also learnt how to get along well with others in four years’ university life .I missed these places mostly, library, student union and my dormitory. I used to study in library because it’s learning environment is very good and it has many kinds of books, but seats are limited; I took part in the student union when I was a freshman. I made more friends and actived in many extracurricular activities in union, but it often took a lot of time; I like my dormitory best. I shared my happiness and sorrows with my room-mates and I relaxed myself sufficiently in it. But the condition of my dormitory is poor. Above all, University is my unforgettable place. I spent most of my extra-study time in library. Generally speaking, It is a good study place. Firstly, the atmosphere of study is strong, but sometimes someone would receive and make calls, which would impact others’ study. If it can provide a few of fountains, the library would be perfect. Secondly, it has abundant of professional books, thus I can access to needed information timely when I encountered problems in study.

Besides, there are also all kinds of magazine, so I can relax myself and expand my vision when I was tired of studying. But the limited time of borrowed books is short. Last but not least, the seats are limited, which disturbed me very much. I had to go to the library line up very early just for seat. But the desks and chairs are big enough, which gave me much space to think and study and reduced the impact between students. The desks and chairs are tidy and comfortable. All in all, I like our library very much.

I took part in the student union when I was a freshman. I made many friends in union. I exchanged my idea with others. I enhanced my ability to communicate with others, but I fed up with some students in union because I don’t like their character; I took part in many activities in union, which enhanced my practice skills and accumulated a lot of social experience, but it occasionally made me embarrassed in activities; It took me a lot of time in union, which influenced my study. But at the same time, I eiched my college life and made full use of my spare time. All in all, I think it is worthy to join in the union.

I missed my dormitory and my room-mates. The reasons as follows: Firstly, I shared my happinesses and sorrows with my room-mates.in dormitory we talked and sung loudly and we made on decision on something by absorbing everyone’s advice; but we inevitably had little contradictions sometimes. Secondly, I relaxed myself sufficiently. I shout

big sleep when I was tired of one day’ study to alleviated fatigue and I freely vented myself. But thanks to personal habits are different, we didn’t reach on agreement on something. Lastly, the most regrettable is that the condition of my dormitory is poor. The room is small and there is not bathroom; but I feel very warmly because it’s my another family. I missed my dormitory very much especially my room-mates.

Generally speaking, my college life is interesting and rewarding. I was not only learnt basic professional knowledge but also made many friends and enhanced my practical skills. The library provided me a good learning environment. The union gave me practice platform. The dormitory made me become a happiness girl. I missed my past university very much. Now, I am in a new university and I think I will spend a more meaningfull postgraduate life in there .

The May Day golden week I play very happy.

The first day, we play the family to go to the ocher mountain. To ocher mountain before, my mother bought me a hammock, let me to the mountain swings in the woods. We came to ocher mountain, all the rest place occupied by others, we very not easy to find a big rock and sits down. I think: ok, now can play a good play. Mother found two trees near the tree to tie a hammock, I lay in a hammock, like a big spider is very comfortable to sit in the middle of the network. At noon, the weather some hot, I bought ice cream and shoveled eat it.

On the way home, mom and dad let me as a guide, I have a good memory, so easily take mom and dad out of the "maze".

Ah! Ocher mountain is a good place for leisure.

五一黄金周我玩得可痛快了。

第一天，我们全家到赭山去玩。来赭山之前，妈妈给我买了吊床，让我到山上树林里荡。我们来到赭山，所有休息的地方都被别人占领了，我们好不容易才找到一块大石头上坐了下来。我想：现在好了，可以痛痛快快的玩一玩了。妈妈找了两棵挨得较近的树木把吊床系好，我就躺在吊床上，像一只大蜘蛛十分舒服坐在网中央。中午，天气有些热了，我又买了根冰激凌大口大口的吃了起来。

在回家的路上，爸爸妈妈让我当向导，我记忆力强，所以很轻松地把爸爸妈妈带出了这个“迷宫”。

啊!赭山真是休闲的好地方。

There are five classroom buildings and five dining-halls on the campus. The classrooms are big and bright. And each of them is large enough for sixty students to study in. Behind the main classroom building stands the college library, where both the teachers and students are busy borrowing and returning books every day. I usually go there once a week for borrowing and returning books. Our college life is rich and interesting. On the one hand, we have many experienced teachers, sufficient books, scientific apparatus, and instruments to help our studies. On the other hand, we are encouraged to take part in many college activities such as seminars, parties,talks, sportsmeets, visiting factories, etc. Basketball and volleyball matches are held almost weekly.

My school life is very common. I get up at six o’clock every morningfrom

Monday to Friday. And the I would go running with my classmates, as our head

teacher says health is themost important thing. After running I have to do

morning exercises on theplayground. Then I can have breakfast. Having breakfast,

I need to have morningreading. Oh, I almost forget that all of the students have

to do some cleaningbefore breakfast. There come the various classes. Then noon

comes. Havinglunch, I will go to sleep. I often read twenty minutes before I

fall asleep. I haveclass in the afternoon. And I still have classes at night.

It’s boring, right? ButI have got used to it and enjoy myself at school.

My school life in primary school is wonderful! I have a lot of friends. They are friendly to me.We study together play together and talk together.My teachers are very patient .They teach me a lot and help me with many problems. The school life is unforgettable

A Fairy Tale in Fall

roaming on the path among the trees， i threw my sentiment into the blue sky， which landed on the ground of my alma mater，and brought me back to the day three years ago.

that was a day in fall， that was a fall in my heart. shatters swung in the air， just like golden butterflies dancing in the breeze. the sunset cast her afterglow on the ground， as well as on her dazzling pink face. after a long silence， i looked into her clear eyes， whispered to her that i wondered whether i had a position in her future. she thought it for a while， walking back and forth. i noticed she trembled lips several times and let out no words. finally， she turned to me and flashed a wry smile："sorfy， i feel that distance makes beauty， lets just be good friends." i could never forget that sentence， just like a bolt from the blue. it hit me like a thousand knives stabbing all over my body. i couldnt breathe， i couldnt think， at least not about anything but the pain. gazing at her receding figure， i couldnt stop tears wetting my pale cheeks. the tale ended with the girls disappearance from my sight.

now fall comes again. i left myself nothing but the broken memories.

It is a fact that college is becoming more and more expensive and college life is becoming especially hard for the students who were born in needy families. However, there are several ways in which these students can cover their tuition that their parents are not able to afford. Finding a part-time job, for example, is an ideal way. Besides, one can ask the bank for a loan and repay it when he has the ability. Finally, one can seek assistance from the society.

For me, earning tuition by doing part-time jobs is the most suitable way. First, I learn to be independent both mentally and economically in this way. Apart from this, I no longer need to wor-ry my parents with so heavy a burden. Finally, since I earn my own living, I will be more confi-dent with myself and, therefore, I can live a busy but meaningful college life.

As a sophomore， I am feeling the time flies. Recalling about the past one year， so many thoughts are flooding in my mind. At this time， I just can’t tell my real idea. The memory is just like so fresh， and all the things happened yesterday!

When first day I came to University， I really feel that the school is very good， but at the first sight of the dormitory， something disappointing come up to me! The condition of the dormitory is really very poor with only one room， no lavatory! I saw something sad in my father’s eyes， maybe that time he thought of the poor condition! So with a big smile on my face， I told my father” it doesn’t matter， Dad. In this kind of condition， I will get myself better!” My father felt better. But when he was coming back， seeing his back， I just wanted to cry! I felt in this city I was just isolated， from that time， I said to myself， “ you have no others who can help you here， just depend on yourself”

And then I came to my dormitory 303. I considered that I would spend four years here (in fact I moved to another one year later) and my dorm mates are all there. Most of them came from Sichuan and they were chatting with a happy voice， but I can’t understand them! Again， I felt myself isolated! I hated that kind of feeling， and then I said to hello to them! To my surprise they are very friendly to me and warm-hearted! I no longer felt afraid. And I got along well with them. But at the first night here， I burst out to tears for that I was missing my family. I don’t know why. Everyday when I was at home， I was just eager to go to school， to experience the wonderful college life but when coming here， I am just eager to go back! It’s quite strange though， you must know this kind of feeling!

Just spending about 2 days here， we were on our way to military train. To us， it’s a fresh train and a kind of experience to know the life between the classmates. But to me， I was nervous but excited. This was my first and precious train life because before going to school I have been staying with my family. So， you know， it’s just this kind of feeling I can’t convey it clearly! The train life is impressive on everybody; we had a lot of activities， for example giving a speech on a stage or singing together or playing basketball. At that time， I felt myself so little among them. All of them have a special talent but not me. I admired them but meanwhile jealousy. Why don’t I have this kind of talent? Am I stupid? I always said to myself. So that time I was also very ambitious， just eager to catch up with them. Except the classmates， the trainer in our team also left a deep impression on me! He was not very handsome and very kind. Just because of his kindness results in my laughter when training. He always said to me that I should be serious in the team but I didn’t listen to him. So after a long time， when investigating the training result， I gave them a disappointing answer.

作为一个二年级学生,我感觉时间过得真快,回忆过去的一年,很多想法都是洪水在我的脑海里。在这个时候,我不能告诉我真正的想法。记忆就像新鲜的,和昨天发生的一切!

当我第一天来到大学,我真的觉得学校很好,但是一见钟情的宿舍,令人失望的东西来我!宿舍的条件真的很穷,只有一个房间,没有厕所!我看到了一些悲伤在我父亲的眼睛,也许那时他想到可怜的条件!一个大的微笑在我的脸上,我告诉我的父亲“没关系,爸爸。在这种情况下,我会让自己更好!“我父亲感觉好多了。但当他回来时,看到他回来,我只是想哭!我觉得在这个城市我只是孤立的,从那个时候,我对自己说,“你没有其他人可以帮助你在这里,只是依靠你自己”

然后我来到我的宿舍303。我认为我会花四年时间在这里(事实上我搬到另一个一年后)和我的室友都在那。他们中的大多数来自四川和他们聊天开心的声音,但是我不能理解他们!再一次,我觉得自己孤立!我讨厌那样的感觉,然后我向他们说你好!让我惊讶的是他们对我很友好和热心的!我不再感到害怕,我和他们相处得很好。但是在这里的第一个晚上,我突然的眼泪,我不见了我的家人,我不知道为什么。每天我在家里的时候,我只是渴望上学,体验精彩的大学生活,但当来到这里,我只是想回去!不过,很奇怪你必须知道这种感觉!

支出约2天在这里,我们在军事训练。对我们来说,这是一个新鲜的火车和一种经验知道同学之间的生活。但对我来说,我又紧张又兴奋。这是我第一次和珍贵的训练生活,因为在上学之前我一直跟我的家人住在一起。所以,你知道,只是这种感觉我不能表达清楚!火车生活是令人印象深刻的大家,我们有很多的活动,例如演讲舞台上一起唱歌或者打篮球。当时,我觉得自己这么少。他们都有一种特别的天赋,但不是我。我敬佩他们,但与此同时嫉妒。为什么不给我这样的人才吗?我是愚蠢的吗?我总是对自己说,所以这段时间我也非常雄心勃勃的,只是渴望赶上他们。除了同学,我们团队的教练也给我留下了深刻的印象!他不是非常英俊,非常善良。仅仅因为他的善良的结果在我的笑声训练。他总是对我说,我应该在团队严重但我没有听他的。所以很长一段时间后,调查培训结果的时候,我给了他们一个令人失望的答案。

快乐的暑假生活

今年的暑假生活非常愉快。我去农村过暑假。那儿非常美丽，有绿色的植物，清澈的小河，可爱的动物和善良的人们。在那里的两周中我帮爷爷干了些农活。每天我在日记中记下所发生的事情。

除了这些，我还帮助邻居家的孩子做功课。我帮他们读英语，使他们的口语有所提高。他们的父母为此很感激我。

明师教育广州中考学习网小编预祝同学们更有一个快乐而富有意义的暑假!

when i was in high school, I had to study all the time and hardly had spare time to do what i wanted to.Besides, I had to focus on my textbooks and doing exercise again and again. Therefore, I had little time to read magazines and novels and watch TV. what was worse, I couldnt play with my friends a lot, which I couldnt stand the most. In a word, all i did in high shool should be considered for the College Entrance Examination.

However, my college life is totally different from the life in high school.I can arrange my time freely. I spend most of my time reading in the library, where I can open my eyes and broaden my mind.In my free time, I also join some clubs,where i can make a lot of friends of different majors. My teachers in college are so kind and knowledgeable that they not only teach us knowledge but also how to be a person and how to get on with others. In addition, there are more opportunities for me to improve myself.

I believe college life is an important stage in my life. In college, i can learn how to learn by myself, how to get on with others, how to live independently.College provides me with a stage where i can show myself and be myself.

当我在高中的时候,我不得不学习,几乎没有业余时间做我想做的事情。除此之外,我必须专注于我的课本和一次又一次的锻炼。因此,我很少有时间读杂志和小说和看电视。更糟的是,我不能玩我的朋友很多,我最不能忍受。一句话,我所做的在高学校应该考虑高考。

然而,我的大学生活是完全不同于高中的生活。我可以自由安排我的时间。我花大部分时间在图书馆看书,在那里我可以打开我的眼睛和扩大我的脑海里。在我空闲时间,我也参加一些俱乐部,在那里我可以赚很多不同专业的朋友。我的老师在大学里是如此的善良,知识渊博,他们不仅教我们知识,还如何成为一个人,如何与他人相处。此外,还有更多的机会让我提高自己。

我相信大学生活是我人生中一个重要的阶段。在大学,我可以学习如何学习,如何与他人相处,如何独立生活。大学为我提供了一个舞台,我可以展示我自己,做我自己。

This summer, I was very happy. Although I didnt go out to travel. But my friends and me to a nursing home to help old people.In a nursing home, we introduce myself after, began to work for the old people. First of all, we first points groups. Some go to sweeping the floor, others to help old people back on, some with old people, and my sorrows and other friends to help the old man sun wash the quilt.We started, we use the washing powder on the old people on the quilt, rub with the brush and rub, very tired. I understand the mothers hard work. Then, we will bask in the quilt.We stayed for a nursing home in the afternoon, and the old man say good-bye, I have decided to help your parents do some housework more in the future.

这个暑假,我非常开心.虽然我没有出去旅游。但是我和朋友们到养老院去帮助老人们。到了养老院,我们自我介绍了后,就开始为老人们做事了。首先,我们先分了组。有的去扫地,有的去帮老人们捶背,有的陪老人们解闷,而我和其他的朋友帮老人晒洗被子。我们开始了,我们用洗衣粉洒在老人们的被子上,用刷子搓了又搓,很累。我体会到了妈妈的辛苦。接着,我们就晒被子了。我们在养老院待了一个下午,和老人道别后,我决定以后多帮父母做家务。

Summer can be very hot in southernxx 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.

The summer vacation had come round again. I was happy that I could forget about school at least for a while. Lest I fool around all through this summer vacation, I made a plan as to how to spend it. First, I thought I should go over all those things my teachers taught in the previous term so that I could have a better understanding of them. Then I thought I should take up some forms of exercise, such as walking, running and rowing, to keep me physically strong. It stood to reason that with such a good plan I should make the best of my vacation time. I did, because I lived up to what I had planned.
