远逝的英文实用20篇

Our family enjoyed a wonderful New Years evening family dinner because it is seldom to get so many relatives to get together.My uncle,aunt and cousin,my best friend,came and had dinner with us.It took almost whole afternoon to prepare the dishes.Of course,that is a chance to show my mom and my aunts cooking skill.We also try to do something to help them,but,what we got was "going to play".It is happy for me to hear that rather than "go to do your homework".The evening dinner is so good,everyone enjoyed and aet overload to their stomach.So wonderful dinner,so wonderful new year.

Nowadays,more and more families choose to have the dinner on New Year’s Eve in restaurants.Though this choice doesn’t follow our tradition,I think it’s good and should be encouraged.

First,it’s obviously more convenient to do so.The process of preparing a home-made New Year’s Eve dinner is not only hard but also annoying.People have to buy food several days before the festival and spend a long time cooking all sorts of dishes.Now,just pick up the telephone and reserve a table.Everything will be well arranged by the restaurant.

Second,it still create a warm atmosphere by getting the family united,which is the true purpose of the dinner.In the restaurant,you celebrate the New Year and share your happiness with other families and usually can enjoy special performances or activities,organized by the owner of the restaurant.

To make a conclusion,having the dinner on New Year’s Eve outside shows a change in people’s thoughts on traditions and seems to be a wise,nice and exciting idea.

There is a trend that more and more families have their dinner on New Year’s Eve in the restaurant.Although it is more convenient,it doesn’t seem to be a pleasure thing for me.

Firstly,the restaurants are too crowded.Owing to this,we cannot talk freely.In addition,the sense of harmony cannot be felt by the family members.

Secondly,it may cost us a big sum of money which we can save by having the dinner in our own families.The whole family’s preparation for the dinner is also a process of enjoying according to my view.

In a word,it is not a good idea to have New Year’s Eve dinner in the restaurant.Home dinner makes a happy New Year.

On the eve of the new year， each family has its members gatherd together and eats a family reunion dinner. After the meal they watch TV until the clock strickes twelve. Then every family sets off long strings of small firecrackers and other fire works to welcome the new year. On the first day of the new year， almost everyone  dressed in h or her best. When people meet on the way， they say to each other "Happy New Year". Friends and relatives pay new year calls and gives presents to each other. Children indulge themselves in games.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, a farmer in the State of Song was one day working in the fields when he saw a rabbit bump into a tree stump(树桩) accidentally and break its neck.

The farmer took the rabbit home, and cooked himself a delicious meal.

That night he thought, I neednt work so hard. All I have to do is wait for a rabbit each day by the stump.

So from then on he gave up farming, and simply sat by the stump waiting for rabbits to come and run into it.

This idiom satirizes(讽刺，挖苦) those who just wait for a stroke of luck, rather than making efforts to obtain what they need.

Dear Santa Claus,

See the letter please!

Santa, I dont know what you really look like, but Ive seen a lot of

pictures of you. Every year on December 25, you bring us Christmas presents.

Legend has it that you will ride in a reindeer wagon full of presents and

pull a sleigh to deliver presents to each child. I also know that you will wear

Christmas clothes, wearing a red Santa hat, quietly put gifts into the

childrens Christmas socks.

So every child likes Christmas very much. It is a festival full of fairy

tales.

Every Year at Christmas, we can make one wish come true. This Christmas, I

have a wish. Santa, can you help me make it happen? I have a bad habit, that is

to do things and do homework very slowly. Santa, can you help me break this bad

habit? If I could get rid of it, mom wouldnt have to watch me do my homework!

Then mother will be very happy.

You are a great Santa Claus, you will help every child to achieve the

wishes. So, can you give me my wish, too?

Zhu: happy every day! Health and longevity!

亲爱的圣诞老人：

见信悦!

圣诞老人，虽然我不知道真实的你长什么样，但是我在很多照片上看过你的样子。每年的十二月二十五日，你都会给我们送来圣诞礼物。

传说，你会坐着满载礼物的驯鹿车，拉着雪橇，为每位小朋友送礼物。我还知道，你会穿着圣诞服，戴着红色的圣诞帽，悄悄地把礼物放进小朋友的圣诞袜子里。

所以每个小朋友都非常喜欢过圣诞节。这是一个充满了童话色彩的节日。

每年的圣诞节，我们都可以实现自己的一个愿望。今年的圣诞节，我有一个愿望。圣诞老人，你可以帮我实现吗?我身上有一个坏习惯，那就是做事写作业都很慢。圣诞老人，你可以帮助我把这个坏习惯改掉吗?如果我可以改掉的话，妈妈不用再盯着我做作业啦!那样一来，妈妈会很开心的。

你是一个很了不起的圣诞老人，你会帮每个小朋友实现愿望。所以，你也可以帮我实现我的愿望吗?

祝：每天快快乐乐!健康长寿!

I do not know the reason why some people want to get up late。 They will

never have the opportunity to enjoy (of enjoying) the fresh air and calmness of

the morning。 This is indeed a quite regrettable thing。To rise early is a good

habit (which) we should cultivate。 Why? Because the best time when we can pursue

our studies is in the morning。 In addition， early rising is also good to our

health。 I hope that everybody our knows the reason why we must rise early。

In last years eleven holiday, our family went to Lanzhou and Xining to travel. That afternoon, Dad suddenly told us to travel, we promised.

Our first goal is Lanzhou, and we dont know the road at high speed. It was dark. We went all the way in the mountain road. Finally, we arrived in Lanzhou. After dinner, we began to find hotels, went to many hotels, but they were all overcrowded. We searched and searched, and finally found a guest house. The second day, we went to Wuquanshan, many people drove up to the door of my difficult to calm the mood. Bought a ticket in the first eye to is Huo statue around the past is a temple, called Confucian Temple.

Where we took a photo and went out to the mountain, we go on a mountain is wuquanshan. Because of the rain, many roads were mud, a lot of mud was stained on the shoes, and then I saw the attic. It seems the Huo, we went down the steps down the road I inadvertently looked down is a small squirrel on the tree to jump for a while and then disappeared. Down the hill, we did not stop at Xining again. In the evening, we came to Xining in Qinghai province. We found the hotel, lived and slept for a night to relieve the fatigue of the day. In the morning, we were ready to go to Qinghai, and we started out after breakfast. On the way we came to a place and had a strong wind. I came out and shook and went to sleep in the car. When I woke up to the edge of the lake in Qinghai, I stretched out, and I knew that the ticket for Qinghai Lake was 50 yuan.

I see mom and dads eyes know is not to buy a ticket, we had to walk along the road and found no fence, there is one family living they took us to the lake, took a photo, listen to them before the Qinghai Lake is great, but now more and more small, this is not the results of the protection ring. We went to a rape place, the smell of the faint fragrance, has gone down in the west of the west, will our hearts call back. Passing by, we found a bucket of honey and a sweet taste! We slept early in the evening, because we were going home tomorrow.

I dont want to go back! Ill come again if theres a chance!

Mr. Louis is my Chinese teacher. She was of medium height, slender, with two eyebrows on her lanky face, a pair of squinting eyes, and a pair of pink glasses on her high nose, about thirty years old. Her speech was vivid and vivid in class, her tone was cadenced and her emotions were real. People are kind and strict.

I remember that it was one of the things that happened early on, and I came to the school early in the morning and put my exercise books on the table, and I happily picked up the Chinese book and read aloud the text aloud.

After about a quarter of an hour or so, Mr. Louis walked into the classroom with a smile on his face, went up to the lectern, took out the red pen and handed the students the homework. After more than ten books, I found that the teachers face gradually changed from sunny to cloudy, and some of my classmates workbooks were taken to the stage. When it was my turn, my heart was both happy and afraid. I was glad that the teacher could see the homework I had finished. The fear is that the teacher will also take away my exercise book. Not sure enough, I saw the workbook lying on the table, trying to get it down, but it was impossible.

After class, the teacher overlooks his face and says to us, "if you want to have a workbook, please come to my office." Then he picked up the book and went away. I breathed a sigh of relief, but I was still not happy. I didnt know what was waiting for me: reprimand, criticism, praise... Oh, I dont think so.

After the second lesson, I and the students went to the teachers office and prepared to be taught. Who knows, the teacher changed the normal, kindly say: "last night go back why dont finish earnestly, ask you a few to correct the error in the workbook." Several of us took the exercise books nervously and fell on the teachers desk to correct them all. Then, let the teacher see again. Then the teacher smiled and said, "thats right. The people who read more should pay attention, the homework also cannot be careless!" We listened, and the mood was like a stone falling to the ground and running out of the office.

You say, how can such a teacher not let us like?

Dear Sue,

I’m Li Hua, one of your students in China. It’s almost a month since you

left us. We all miss you and are very grateful for what you did for us.

We are busy as usual. We had an English speech contest the other day. I won

the first prize! This again reminds me of all your kind help. Do you still

remember the trees we planted together on the hill behind the school? Yesterday,

we went there and watered them. The tree you planted yourself is growing well,

and the whole class decided to name it Sue Wood. Will you come back to see Sue

Wood?

How is everything with you lately? We hope to know more about you and your

American students. Hope to keep in close touch.

All the best.

Yours，

Li Hua

星期天，我去了乡下看望爷爷奶奶，无事可干的我竟然心血来潮教爷爷说起英文了。

下午，我闲着的没事就问爷爷：“爷爷，你小时候上过学吗？”

“没有，我小时候家里穷，没钱上学，只好种地。”

没上过学！这一下让我想到了一个妙不可言的好主意——教爷爷说英文。反正闲着也是闲着，干脆让爷爷也增长点外国知识。

我便对爷爷说了这件事，爷爷笑着说：“好啊、好啊，孙女教我学英文。”于是，我从最基本的教起，我大声念了一句：“Hellow”。爷爷笑哈哈地跟着说：“哗啰”。我纠正道：“是Hellow，不是哗啰。再跟我念一遍，Hellow”。爷爷还是笑嘻嘻说成了“哗啰”。我有点生气了，转过身去不理睬爷爷。爷爷似乎知道我不高兴了，不知从哪来变出来一个红彤彤的大苹果，伸到我的面前对我说：“哗啰，吃‘冰果’喽！”。估计爷爷想说苹果的英文，可是又不会说，所以自己瞎编了一个，读成了“冰果”。这下我忍不住“扑哧”一声笑了出来，我从爷爷手里拿了苹果，我看了看苹果，大口大口地吃了起来。

“甜不甜？”爷爷小声地问。( www.sanWEn.com)

“甜！不过爷爷，苹果的英文叫Apple”我说。

“安破。”爷爷乐呵呵跟着学了一句。我也不知道为什么，这次我没生爷爷的气。倒觉得爷爷真有意思。

这次教英文虽然效果不佳，但能换回来我和爷爷的欢笑，我觉得挺值得！

Without exception,everyone has to make choices in life,whether they concern school,career,or love.While some choices are simple,one cannot avoid the task of making difficult decisions.

Choices are often directly related to ones happiness.University students,for example,face a hard and crucial decision upon graduating.Many students have difficulty deciding whether to continue studying or begin developing a career.Every individual is different,and one must take the factors of ones personal life into consideration.In addition to an awareness of specific circumstances,however,making the right choice also depends on correct appraisal of oneself.

In order to choose correctly,therefore,one must be both realistic and self aware.Furthermore,once having made a decision,one should seriously accept and pursue the path one has chosen,and strive towards the realization of ones goal with spirit.

据说，在英语流行开来的时候，许多欧洲人纷纷开始学习。目的很明确：读英语小说原文。一方面，这是一种审美的需求，另一方面，这也是社会阶层的划分依据：从此，身边的人分为两种，即能读英语小说原著的，和不能用英语阅读小说的人。在这样的目的驱使下，可想而知学习效率会如何之高。

最近在学习英国文学史，下载了海量的英美小说和诗歌。可以这么说，不读小说，不知英文的精妙，不读诗歌，不知英文的优雅与靓丽。

当下国人学习英语的目标，个人认为，不是纯粹的审美层面的。或是为了高考、大学英语四六级之类的等级考试，或是为了留学考试。真正静下心来，读一首英文诗歌，或许你会爱上英文的。

可以说，我的英语学习是为“雪耻”，小学的时候英语考试睁眼瞎，题都读不懂。到了初中，凭借优秀的语文和数学成绩，进入了英语实验班——是的，有一些滑稽。于是，在老师的悉心、严格的教学下，在我的努力下，英语终于按部就班地提高起来。中考英语以146分位居年级第一，进入了理想的直升班。

现在回想起来，简单的动机，为我打下了坚实的英语基础。当时，最开心的事情，就是每周的英语考试，可以读到新鲜热辣的时文。

不过，与那些英语原版世界名著相比，英语说明文就显得黯然失色了。当然，那些来自于《时代》周刊的英文消息，是很值得玩味的。至今记得那篇略显晦涩的对乔伊斯《尤利西斯》的报道。

今天，又窝在家里听英国文学史，打开一本诗集，顿时沉醉其中。

如果，能够以审美的维度，重新审视英语学习，我想，大家对英语学习的兴致，大概会浓厚很多了。

Maybe the stars mean the dream,I love the stars in the blue sky,they’re always bright and pretty,and always take me to a beautiful dream.

I really like to look at the little stars,when I look at them,I feel very relax and happy.The stars are quiet and just like full of beautiful magic, its amazing.

Just like wonders,the stars in the deepest blue sky are so pretty,“one , two, three, four, five, six, seven”there are so many stars in the sky,I really cant count it.

When I am so lonely,I will look at the sky, tell the little stars my little secrets,tell the little stars my dream,tell them many interesting things,and then I will feel less lonely.

I like the stars in the sky,what about you?

也许星星意味着梦，我喜欢蓝色天空中的星星，它总是明亮美丽的，永远带着我进入一个美丽的梦。

我真的很喜欢看这些小星星，当看着它们的时候，我感到非常放松和快乐。星星是安静的，就像充满了美丽的魔法一样，令人惊奇。

就像奇迹一样，在最湛蓝的天空中，星星是如此美丽，“一、二、三、四、五、六、七”，天空中有那么多星星，实在数不胜数。

当我如此孤独的时候，我会看着天空，告诉小星星我的小秘密，告诉小星星我的梦想，告诉他们许许多多有趣的事情，然后我会感到不那么孤单。

我喜欢天上的星星，你呢?
