关于父母给孩子的一封信5篇 写给某某的信英语(推荐20篇)

dear teacher,

it has been a long time since i wrote the last letter. nowdays, people write letters less and less, instead, they make a call or send a sms. however, it is still a good way for us to communicate with each other by sending a letter

its my honour to get the chance to write to you. "approachable" is my first impression of you, because you always keeps smiling. students may fear the teachers that are serious both in and out of class. smile makes a teacher popular with his students, you are a teacher of this very kind.

you always arrive at the classroom ahead of any of the students, from which we could imply that you are a diligent man with regular habit. before the class, you like to talk to us, at this very time, you are more a friend than a teacher. to be honest, i was surprised in the first class when i learned a teacher at your age could speak english insuch a fluent way.(i didnt mean you are old, youre young at heart.) moreover, you know well how to keep your class attractive. youve got such an active mind that you can keep talking during the whole class without a pause. i always appreciated your ideas and enjoyed listening to you. in your class, i learned not only the writing skills but also the presentation skills as well as much knowledge of other areas. thanks for your excellent teaching.

ive got some suggestions for you. it seems that we students have got few chances to participate in discussion during the class time. most of the time, we are listening. seldom did we express our own ideas. i suggest that teachers should interact with students more frequently in the class. besides, id like to practice writing more, so would you please leave us more assignments?

happy new year.

with every good wish.

yours sincerely dali wang

亲爱的儿子：

第一次通过写信这种方式和你交流，当你看到这封信时，你的夏令营生活即将结束，想到过两天就能看到你心里很激动。

这次是你小学阶段参加的第五个夏令营，也是特别的，与以往形式不同的夏令营。对于你选择参加重走长征路夏令营，我一方面为你的勇气感到自豪和骄傲;一方面又充满了担忧，毕竟像这样的每天行军走路，不同于你以往参加的徒步，需要的不是一时的勇气和新鲜感，而是不断的坚持，考验的是恒心和耐力。妈妈想到在你成长的道路上能够有这样一次的体验是弥足珍贵的，我和你爸爸同意了你的选择。

在你出发前发生的两件事曾经让我犹豫是不是让你来参加夏令营，一件当然就是你动了个小手术，还记得你临出门前的一天，我还带你到医院去做最后的复查，尽管医生确认没有问题，我还是为此忐忑不安。另一件当然就是买票了，为了安全考虑，你的这几次夏令营我们都是让你乘飞机办理无人陪出行，在你出发前夕，我为你订票的时候才知道你已经十二岁了，不能再像以前一样办理无人陪乘机，一时间我犹豫了，怎么办?最后还是你爸爸做了决断，相信你能解决这个问题独自出行，这是一次很重要的尝试。

当你背起行囊与我告别走进机场的刹那，对你的担心和不舍盈满心头，一上午我坐立不安不停的看着手机，担心你找不到出口，担心接你的人找不到你，直到打了电话确认你安全到达这才放心。

这次的夏令营妈妈通过你们的qq群能够及时了解你们的行

程和情况，从你离开家的那天起，我关注着qq群里的每一条动态，妈妈的心也跟着你一起前行，随你而动。感受着你们的欢乐和辛苦，教授和老师都很贴心能够理解家长们的担忧，总是及时通报着你们的情况，发一些你们照片，每看到有照片，我都仔细搜寻，希望能看到你，你的.每一张照片都让我激动不已。看到你与伙伴们友好相处，每天那么快乐，妈妈真的很高兴。看到教授夸你聪明，有胆量，敢于挑战，老妈感动啊!喜欢看你的感想体会，就是你总偷懒，写的太少了，记住都要补上啊。

爸爸妈妈之所以每年暑假都会为你选择一个夏令营，也是希望你能真正体会一下独立生活的滋味儿，凡事不去依赖，通过这几年暑假你的独自单飞，让我们看得出你真的长大了，象羽翼日渐丰满的小鸟，即将展翅飞向蓝天。虽然妈妈还是会担心，会顾虑很多，但是你总是用行动告诉我你能行，因为你的确长大了。虽然有时候连我自己都不愿意去承认你长大的事实，常常怀念那个听我念书讲故事的宝宝。妈妈好像又啰啰嗦嗦，絮絮叨叨了不少，你可别烦啊。老妈老妈，我都被你叫老了。儿子，新学期你就是初中学生了，你会新的学校、新的老师和新的同学，爸爸妈妈希望你会像喜欢这个夏令营一样，喜欢你的新学校，认真学习、克服困难、快乐成长。夏令营就要结束了，代老爸老妈向教授和老师问好，感谢他们这些天对你的陪伴和指导，代老爸老妈向你的伙伴问好，感谢他们对你的关心和帮助。

儿子，努力，我们为你骄傲!

Dear Li Hua,

I had a birthday party at my home last month .I invited some of my

classmates to the party . The party began at 8a.m .on Sunday . All my classmates

were not be late. I was very happy. We ate some western food.They were very

nice.Some of my classmates brought their own food. They shared their food with

us. Because they are very friendly.

We also played games. It was very interesting. All my classmates were very

happy. I danced with my best friends. And all my classmates danced very

beautifully! They sang a song Happy Birthday to me. And then they gave me a

lot of presents. I was very thankful. All of us had a good time on that day!

Do you have free time? I want to visit you next year?

Today is Childrens Day. Early in the morning, I feel so excited, because I

know the teachers have prepared some surprised for us. We dont have class and

all we do is to enjoy the games. I play Ping Pong game and win many awards. I

like the riddle so much. When I get the answer, I feel so proud of myself.

This story is happenend between a nurse and a student.

Nurse:Oh ,you are terrible girl ,whats the matter with you?

Student:Yes,I dont feel well.I hurt myself playing soccer ball.

Nurse:Thats so bad,but you dont afraid of that,I can help you.

Student:Thanks,but what should i do?

Nurse:You should put some medicine on it,and bandage the cut,then take

breaks,but you shouldnt do some sports.

Student:OK,thank you very much!Ill do that now.

Nurse:Youre welcome,i hope your hurt can get better and better

soon.Bye,girl.

Student:Bye!

I had a bust weekend.Last saturday.T stayed at home, did my home work and

cleand my room.Iwas a little tired. On sunday morning,Iwent fishing and took

picnres there.ON sunday afternoon,I was really happy last weekend.

Now I have already told you a story about an old man that thought he knew

everything, and had been asked a hard question to answer by the king’s

professor; and had been crowned king. Well in this story, I am going to tell you

how the old man got back to thinking he knew everything, and was asked another

hard question by the king’s professor.

It all happened that one day, when the professor was feeling sick, the old

man happened to be on the stage. Now he had a throne too, but not as fancy as

the professor’s. And so he decided to sit on it. When other people are standing

in line to ask for questions, the old man said, “The professor has quit, and so

I shall rule this stage and this kingdom!”

All the people gave him a slow clap, and at last began to ask questions.

Two more days passed and the professor got better, and walked to the stage. But

he found that on his throne was the old man. “Ah! Professor!” shouted the old

man in an angry tune, “You quit! I heard you say that a week ago!” “I said that

I was going to quit about two days because I was sick,” explained the professor

smiling.

“I think I should be king rather than you!” shouted the old man, “Fine! I

shall ask you a hard question, if you could answer it; then you ask me one. But

if not, the guards shall make you my breakfast, next month!” “Deal,” said the

professor, still smiling. And so the hard question contest began.

First the old man asked, “What’s the answer of 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1?” “That’s

easy,” said the professor, and he wrote it on a paper. When he is finished, he

handed the paper over to the old man; it said, “If you want to find the answer,

you said eight 1. All you have to do is use multiplication to find the answer:

8﹡1.” The old man was astonished, “Your right!” he shouted; “Now you ask me

one!” “1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1﹣1﹣1?” “Do you want to know the answer now?”

asked the man, “No,” said the man, “I just want to count how many ones did I

count?”

Dear Miss Brown,

two years. During the days of being your student, I learn a lot. Firstly, your

serious attitude towards teaching and our students moves me too much. You

inspire and push me to work harder and harder. Secondly, I fall in love with

English under the influence of you. As a student of science and engineering,

I’ve been thinking that English does no good to me, but you help me to find the

fabulous glamour of English that leads me to know a totally different world and

develop a different way of thinking. Finally, your continuous encouragement

supports me a lot when I meet challenges or difficulties. You said that

everything to the last will certainly become a good thing, if it is not, not yet

to the last. Every time, remembering your words, I am so inspired to keep

going.

Above all, I want to say thank you again and please accept my sincere

appreciation. Best wishes for you.

敬爱的布朗老师：

我谨以此向您表达我最真诚的谢意，感谢您在过去两年里对我的帮助。在过去的两年里，成为您的学生，我学到了许多。首先，您对教学和学生的认真态度使我深受感动。您鼓舞着我不断地努力学习。其次，在您的影响下，我深深地喜欢上了英语。作为一名理工科学生，我以前一直认为英语对我毫无用处，但您使我认识到了英语的魅力所在，带我走进了一个全新的世界，培养了不同的思维方式。最后，您的鼓励总在我遭遇困难或挑战是鼓励着我。您曾经说过：“每一件事情到了最后都会变成好事，如果不是，那说明还没有到最后。”每当想起您说过的话，我就有了坚持下去的动力。

最后，请允许我再次向您表达我的感谢，接受我真诚的谢意。献上最美好的祝福。

亲爱的宝贝女儿：

你好!

很久没有提笔写信了，非常感谢老师布置的这次作业，给了父母和女儿一个沟通的机会。

你的来信，爸妈看了三遍，看后高兴而又欣慰，高兴于女儿的成长进步、欣慰于女儿的乖巧懂事。信中字里行间都透露出对父母的感恩和深情，我们一次又一次被感动。没想到平时和父母说话直来直去，言语冲撞的女儿，内心却有一颗感恩的心。父母对你的理解太少了!

你在父母眼中一向是比较乖巧的，虽然你在班里不是最优秀的学生，但你在父母眼中是最优秀的女儿。

父母既然赋予你生命，就应该赋予你成长的土壤和营养。我们尽最大能力在物质上满足你，虽然和班里其他学生物质差距还挺大，但女儿从不与别人在这方面盲目攀比，相反从小就养成的节约的好习惯。记得上次。你是爸妈的掌上明珠，我们会将一生无私的爱都给予你，尽管这种爱的表达方式有所不同，有时会对你造成伤害。比如：在学习上或生活上，有时父母会对你责备、打骂。从小到大，爸爸打你的次数屈指可数，其实都是生活上的上些小事，记得好几次都是因为，故意惹父母生气，才忍不住动手打了你几下。打在你身上，疼在父母心里，你知道吗，宝贝儿，父母的心痛比你身体上的痛苦还要难受!但你要永远记住：爸妈对你的爱的目标是一致的，这就是让你永远健康、快乐、无忧、幸福的成长，正如天空对大地爱的眷恋，不仅仅表现为阳光明媚、晴空万里，还要经历舂夏秋冬的风霜雪雨，不经历风雨，怎么能见到彩虹呢?希望能够得到女儿的理解!

常言道：“少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲。”一份耕耘，一份收获。人的命运主要靠自己主宰，尤其是当人年轻的时候，往往就在那么“关键的几步”，而你目前正处于这个“关键”阶段——高中生活，倘若把你的人生比作一座高楼大厦，而你所处的这一阶段正是这座大厦的基础，基础不牢，地动山摇，基础不牢固，不扎实，怎么能够承受荷载呢?可见，这一阶段的学习对一生的重要性。你要铭记“书山有路勤为径，学海无涯苦作舟”、“学习如‘逆水行舟，不进则退’”这几句至理名言，希望你能深刻领悟其意并要以此敦促自己，苦熬三年，用坚强的意志战胜自己，刻苦学习!相信理想大学的大门一定会向你敞开的!

宝贝女儿，老爸老妈所做的一切，无论是付出、关怀，还是教导、责怪，都只是尽了为人父母应做的点滴，都只是为了你的健康、为了你的快乐、为了你的进步、为了你的成长、为了你的现在、为了你的将来，希望得到你真诚的理解，愿我们以后能更好的沟通!

昨天，我们相携共同渡过了幸福而快乐的时光——中学生活;明天我们还将继续迎接学习和生活等各方面更严重的挑战——大学生活。请记住：父母永远是你坚强的后盾，家永远是你温馨的港湾!为了迎接明天的到来，让我们把握好今天，同舟共济，努力拼搏，共创美好的明天!

最后，祝我亲爱的女儿永远健康，永远幸福、永远快乐、永远进步!

永远爱你的父母

Look at this photograph of my family. There are five people in it. The

tallest one is my father. He is forty-eight years old. My mother is standing

beside him. She is not as my father. She is three years younger than my father.

Sitting in front of them are my grandparents. My grandfather is that fat one

with a pair of glasses. My grandmother is as fat as he. This little one is me.

I’m sitting between them. All of us love one anther. I have a happy family.

I live in an ordinary family. Though my parents are not rich enough to buy

what I want, they give me the best thing. That is love. I have a rich friend.

Her name is Lucy. She always complains that her parents are too busy and don’t

have much time to play with her. So I am so thankful for the things I have. I

feel the real happiness.

小猪：

首先祝贺你，期末考试结束了，考试成绩也出来了，无论考得是好是坏，这个学期，总算过去了。其实，我明白，这些对你来说都不是最重要的，作为孩子，最高兴的事情莫过于盼望已久的寒假正式开始了。今年的寒假，是你上学以来我见过的最长的寒假，足足一个月的时间。那，你明白20__年寒假的正确打开方式吗这个假期，你该如何度过，我想给你提几点提议：

一、定量阅读，增加积累

从今年期末考试的试卷来看，“阅读”、“写作”，两个主题词是众多家长和教师共同感慨不已的。在如今这个语文学科被放到更加重要位置的时代，阅读与写作在语文学习中的分量也被提到了一个重要的位置，这，是一种导向，在我看来，就是要更加鲜活而生动地学习语文。从这个角度来看，那假期里面有一件事情，你不得不做，那就是阅读。阅读是很多教师都曾强调过的问题，可是，我明白你面临的困惑也不少。比如，我读了很多书，却感觉到没有什么直接的作用。比如，书海浩瀚，不明白该如何选择等等。那我就首先来和你谈谈，我所理解的阅读。

我觉得，阅读其实能够大概地分为两种，一种是为积累课外知识，拓宽知识面。另一种是为理解语言熏陶，提升写作本事。前一类的书像《上下五千年》、四大名着等，这个选择的面能够多一些，杂一些，不能只局限在自我喜欢的小范围里。后一类的书是我着重要向你推荐的，首选语言纯正，文风唯美的几位作家的作品，那里给你列举一些：散文，能够看赵丽宏的《我愿走遍世界的每一个角落》，丁立梅的《暖爱》，以及林清玄、迟子建、冰心等着名作家的散文精品，当然了，我的《每个人都有一个世界》你也能够看看。小说，能够看曹文轩的《草房子》，黑柳彻子的《窗边的小豆豆》等，还有一本我读过无数遍的小说，对你来说虽然有些深奥，但我还是提议你读读，那就是路遥的《平凡的世界》。另外有一本最异常的书，对于你写人的作文很有帮忙，冯骥才的《俗世奇人》。

当然了，读书要有计划，有方法，不能浮光掠影，走马观花;读书要自觉、主动，别人要求你做的总不如自我要做的来得高效;读书要用成整的时间，静下心来，慢慢品读。读过一遍，总要留下些什么，那才是有意义的阅读。这些蔡教师应当也和你讲过，我就不再重复啰嗦了。

二、感受生活，增加体验

前两天我问你，将来回忆起童年生活的时候，印象最深的是什么，你说有你最好的朋友，有你最喜欢的教师。听了你的回答，我为你感到高兴，因为你有完美的记忆，同时，也有些为你感到可惜，因为，你与学校之外的生活接触还是太少了。当然，这不能怪你，在上学的每一天，早上送出门，中午在学校就餐，晚上接回家，你的世界里学校里的一切几乎就是生活的全部。所以，我给你的第二个提议就是，利用这个寒假，好好感受周围的生活。

你能够去接触更多的人。我们能够一齐去乡下老家，和爷爷奶奶外公外婆一齐多多相处，除了爸爸妈妈之外，他们也是最疼爱你的人，因为相处时间的减少，此刻的你已经没有小时候那样与他们亲近了，这是不对的。中国人常用儿孙绕膝、其乐融融来形容老人的天伦之乐，多陪伴他们，让他们开心欢乐，其实也是你的一种义务和职责。

你能够去了解更多的事。在学校里，每学期你们都会很隆重地开展英语节的活动，庆祝圣诞节。我看到，在那个节日里都很开心。可是，我忍不住要提醒你明白，寒假里，有中国人最为看重的节日——春节。作为中国人，龙的传人，应当对自我国家传统的春节有所了解。春节其实是一个大的概念，从腊月里就开始了各种准备，有着各种各样的习俗，很好地体现了中国人的传统的礼仪礼节。这是你培养提升自身个人素质与修养的大好时机，切记要认认真真地学，仔仔细细地记，老祖宗流传下来的很多东西会让你终身受益。

你能够去欣赏更多的景。生活中从不缺少美，缺少的是发现美的眼睛。我期望，你能够多去关注生活中的一切，去倾听，去观察。要把自我的视线从电脑，电视的屏幕上移开，去看看更加精彩的世界。大街上人来人往，商场里人流如潮，市场上人声喧闹，这些景象是你在学校里所看不到的，也许在不经意间的某个瞬间，在将来的某一天会成为你作文中最佳的写作素材。

三、品味闲暇，增加欢乐

说实话，平日里上学的时候，你也是挺辛苦的，写很多的字，听很多的课，右手中指上厚厚的老茧就是见证。作为孩子，你比以往的我们辛苦多了。所以，我要给你的第三个提议，就是好好地利用这个假期，好好地休息，品味闲暇的时光，适当做些运动，坚持健康的身体，做一个阳光、欢乐的孩子，我期望甜美的笑容能够一向挂在你的脸上。

我真诚地期望，当这个假期结束的时候，你会对自我说，寒假，我收获了很多。

Dear don: Hello!

Unknowingly, I came to class 3 of grade 2014 for more than a year. In one

year, I have known many children who have studied with me. As an excellent head

teacher, your careful care and tireless teaching are deeply imprinted in my

mind. For us, you would rather become a candle, burn yourself, and light our

bright future.

The growth of small trees is inseparable from rain and the care of the

gardener; the beautiful fragrance of flowers is inseparable from the soil and

the company of bees; our growth is inseparable from the teachers teaching. Mr.

Tang, every little bit of this year, I will never forget it!

In life, you are always so meticulous. In class, as long as there is a

classmate who is not comfortable, you will send him to the health care room.

When you come back, you will always ask "how is it? Is it better?" Lunch, you

also let all students eat meat, let us eat with health. These two points alone

are enough to show our love for us. In learning, you have always taught us

carefully. Every time you learn a word, you always ask us to read and memorize

hair step by step, and explain the meaning repeatedly. If we do something wrong,

you usually teach us as sternly as that, but I know that behind this sternness

lies the tenderness of a loving mother.

Mr. Tang, it is you who have cultivated countless national pillars with

your own sweat and youth, but you are so unknown. Finally, I want to say to you

loudly: "thank you, teacher!"

I am going to have a busy weekend ! On Saturday , Im going to clean my

room and do homework. Then , in the evening , I m going to the supermaket with

my mother . On Saturday, Im going to the bookstore on foot . Im going to buy

some books. Then, Im going to go home and read the new books. In the evening ,

Im going to watch TV. That will be fun! What about you? What are you going to

do on the weekend?

亲爱的老师，小朋友：

大家好!

我是__小朋友的妈妈，首先我要感谢幼儿园的老师给我这样一个机会让我专门写这样一封信给我的宝贝。

宝宝，妈妈今天想表扬你以下几个方面：

1、你很有礼貌。会主动跟别人打招呼，比如："爷爷奶奶好!"当别人给你东西时，你会主动说"谢谢!"当客人要走时，你会送到门口，说"欢迎下次再来玩!"

2、你很善于分享。和小朋友们一起玩时，你会主动将零食分给他们吃，也会跟他们分享玩具，并且乐在其中。

3、你心地善良，当你看到电视里有人哭了的时候，会含着眼泪问我："妈妈，她怎么了?"当你看到妈妈受伤的脚时，更是心痛地帮我呼气，还安慰我："不痛不痛，痛痛飞走了!"

4、你很爱学习，经常拿着故事书要大人念给你听，有时妈妈没空，你便坐在小凳子上自己去读，去看。

5、你是个乖巧贴心的宝贝，每天爸爸妈妈下班回家，你像只小鸟一样快乐的飞过来，给我们一个拥抱，一个香吻，一句"爸爸妈妈你们辛苦了!"让我们的疲惫瞬间烟消云散。

__，你的这些好的素质和习惯离不开幼儿园老师和长辈们的辛勤付出，希望以后你能在老师的指导下，认真学习，快乐成长，永远怀有一颗感恩的心。

此致

敬礼!

Dear Mom & Dad,

I love you! I love you so much! I love you with all my heart!

Thank you so much for bringing up! Thank you so much for raising me. I know

how hard you’ve worked during the past years. I can image how many difficulties

and obstacles you’ve conquered. I can imagine all the problems you have faced

and all the sweat and tears you have shed to make my life better. I can fully

understand what a huge responsibility it is to raise a child. You’ve been very

patient with me. You’ve encouraged me and you’ve helped me. You’ve tried your

hardest to give me the best things in life. You’ve made a lot of sacrifices and

many difficult choices. I also know that you have great expectations of me. You

want me to be very successful and happy. You want me to be the best person I can

be. You want me to do great things with my life. You want me to make the world a

better place. I know you have so many so many hopes and dreams for my

future.

Your Daughter

Dear Sir,

I noticed an ad. In the paper today you said you were looking for people to join your expedition team. It sounded as if it might be fun so Im writing to say Id like to come along.

About myself: I left school at 16 because I wanted to earn a bit of money. After that I got a few part-time jobs as a waiter, etc. But I didnt stick to any of them for long. Recently Ive been doing a bit of hitch-hiking round

Europe so Ive had some experience of traveling the hard way which should come in handy on the expedition youre planning. By the way, Im a great guitarist so I can keep you all amused round the campfire at night.Let me know when I can call in for a chat about dates and other details, etc.

Yours,

David Smith

Dear Tom,

Thanks for your letter which finally caught up with me in London. I suppose youre keen to hear how the trip has been so far. So heres a short description of whats happened.

Well, you remember we left Sydney on Monday and arrived in London 24 hours later. After such a long and exhausting flight the first thing we did was to have a good, long sleep. And after that?a good meal to make up for all that horrible airline stuff!

The first real day of our holiday was spent just walking around London to get a feel of the place. After that, however, we were more particular and planned each day carefully.

First, we looked at all the historical sights, such as the Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament, the British Museum and the National Gallery. Then we visited some other famous places, such as Kew Gardens and Hampstead Heath. Finally, we took a one-day trip to Oxford, which is really the most marvelous town. You should make sure to go there when you visit England.

After we had seen a lot of London, we flew to Paris. A t first, we didnt like the place-I suppose because it was so different from London. Later, though, we began to really love it and started to appreciate its differentness.

The final stage of our trip is a visit to Rome, after which we will be staying in Singapore for two days before returning to Australia.

Hope everyone is well. See you soon.
