有关付出与收获的优秀英语作文（经典20篇）

今天口才课，老师给我们讲了一个成语故事《守株待兔》，故事的内容是这样的：

有一个农夫，他种了几亩地，他的地头上种有一棵大树。一天，他在地里干活，嗨哟！嗨哟！忽然，他看见一只兔子像箭一般的飞奔过来，猛地一下，撞在了那棵大树上，一下子就死了。农夫赶紧跑过去，拣起兔子，他一边往家走一边得意地想：我的运气可真好！没准明天还会有兔子跑来，从此他天天坐在那棵大树下，等着兔子来撞、死。他等啊等啊！直等到地里的野草长得比庄稼都高，连个兔子影都没等到。

守株待兔这个成语就是从这个故事里得来的，人们用它来比喻不想努力就想获得成功的侥幸心理。这个故事告诉我们不付出就不会有收获，如果你努力的付出了，你的梦想就会实现。我们再过一段时间就要期末考试了，期中考试前我非常努力的复习，考试时语文我检查出了一处错误并改了过来，数学检查出漏了一题赶快补上了，所以考了双百分。我现在不但每天学的新知识要扎实，还要多复习，才会在期末考试取得好成绩。

Good morning, I got up early, get dressed on the first toward the kitchen,

filled a small bucket of water, like a pearl Jingying, cooking benches placed on

some of the small dishes, which containing various materials: there is peanuts,

So I sat eating breakfast table and watched busy grandmother.

The countryside are on both sides of the cooking, while used to boil water

while cooking to cooking and grandmother had already cleaned the duck Add big

The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.

Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to "get in" on a "ground floor opportunity", as if the opportunity will do all the work. Thats impossible.

Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. Thats not up to the opportunity. Thats up to you. It doesnt matter what "floor" the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.

主题教育活动开展以来，通过专题辅导集中学、参观展览观摩学以及通读原著个人学，我对主题教育活动的意义有了更为深刻的认识，对“守初心、担使命、找差距、抓落实”的也有了更为深刻的理解。我认为这是一次正当其时的思想洗礼和行动激励，它必将促使广大基层党员干部立足本职，爱业敬岗，通过不懈努力奋斗，脚踏实地把工作中每件平凡的事做好，平凡的工作也可以创造不平凡的成就，基层党员干部同样也能成为本单位、本系统、本岗位的“最美奋斗者”。

一是要坚守初心。落实在基层党员干部身上，初心就是为服务对象搞好服务的热心、耐心和细心和责任心。基层党员干部要做到不忘初心、不忘职责使命，就不能被“钱、权至上”等贪念所侵蚀，不能被“门好进，脸好看，不给好处事不办”等错误观念所左右，否则只会沦为金钱、权力的奴隶，忘了自己姓“党还是”姓“公”，为“公”还是为“私”,自然也就不会尽职尽责，一心为民搞好服务了。要坚守一颗为民服务的初心不变，就要自觉把学习习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想作为必修课，读原著，学原文，悟原理，真正把习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想学懂悟透、融会贯通，增强个人提高理论素养。从而涵养“些小吾曹州县吏，一枝一叶总关情”的为民情怀、，“一点浩然气，千里快哉风”的良好风度。

二是要敬重岗位。岗位是创建事业的平台，敬业是成就事业的根本。作为基层党员干部，敬业就是敬重自己的工作，把工作当成自己的事业，认认真真地履行岗位职责，老老实实地抓好小事细事。敬重自己的岗位，热爱自己的工作，要求我们基层党员干部要始终做到政治上清醒，工作上负责，处事上公正，从点点滴滴做起，多想人民、少想自己，多些工作、少些懈怠，多思奉献、少思索取，多做实事、少做虚功人而为岗位增光添彩，而不能亵渎岗位，愧对岗位。在工中，坚持捧着一颗诚心，俯身深入基层，认真倾听群众心声，问计、问策于民，为基层群众提供优质高效服务，不辜负组织和人民的期望，以实际行动取得人民群众的信任。

三是要永续奋斗。永奋斗是检验、衡量每位基层党员干部党性强弱的尺子。“人民对美好生活的向往，就是我们奋斗的目标”。要做到担当有为，必须要有艰苦奋斗，永远奋斗的精神。邓小平同志曾说：“世界上的事情都是干出来的，不干，半点马克思主义都没有。”习近平总书记也曾强调：“如果不沉下心来抓落实，再好的目标，再好的蓝图，也只是水中花，镜中月。”空谈误国，实干兴邦。围绕各类群众关注的焦点问题、困难问题，在工作中解决，在解决中完善，做实事、干实绩、求实效，力诫形式主义和官僚主义，才是对自己“初心”和使命的诠释和检测。只有跋山涉水者，才能真切感受山川的壮丽;只有奋力攀登者，才能亲眼目睹最美的日出。基层党员干部要做新时代的攀登者、涉水者，心怀远方，风雨兼程，通过永续奋斗，去实现人民对美好生活向往的宏伟目标，同时在为民服务中去创造个人的人生价值。

倘若生活中的温暖是粒粒火花，待到集聚之时，变成一束火光，拥有燃烧荆棘的力量。倘若生活中的温暖是点点繁星，待到夜晚之时便有横跨天空的力量。感受生活中的温暖，能收获强大的力量。

记得小时候我曾有一个舞蹈梦，但因为身体柔韧性不好，跳出来的舞总没有别人的那么多技巧，精彩绝伦。一次阴差阳错的机会，老师将领舞重任交给了我。原本欣喜，仿佛找到前进动力的我，却被其他家长的冷嘲热讽推入了深渊。他们在领舞的时候跑进来与老师的对话，希望他孩子的能成领舞，还一边若无其事的打量着我。那嘲讽的语气，轻蔑都眼神总能带给我一次次的打击，让我渐渐感到迷茫。可是我的家人却一次次的支持我，陪伴我：柔韧性不好，便让我每天趴在墙边，将两腿慢慢与墙平行，慢慢进步;在我受伤之时，一边为我细心的上药，一边教会我在困困难前不服输的精神;他们还为我找来了视频，与其做比较，给我提建议。原本对舞蹈一窍不通的他们竟在这无数次细微的比较中，摸着了了门道，同老师们聊起天来，亦让老师惊讶不已。

在这无数日的陪伴下，我幼小的心灵中竟催促生长出了冲破质疑弥的强大力量，仿佛有什么东西将要破土而出一一坚定自我!

在一次次打击中，我站了起来，不再畏惧那流言蜚语，因为我知道我的家人将会给予我陪伴与温暖，是我最坚强的后盾。我全心突入与训练中，与家人共同进步，慢慢找回信心，终是在舞台上大放光彩。老师都笑着打趣：“感觉你像变了一个人似的，更加坚强，更加优秀了。”

上了初中后，那股来自于温暖的强大力量，依旧与耀眼的火光照亮我前方的路，燃烧荆棘，让我变得更优秀。在面对一次次成绩的压力下，家人们同我分析错误，问题所在，这数日以来的温暖更让我永不放弃，当一条勇于逆向而行的鱼儿，奋力前行;在夜深人静时，母亲常会给我弄杯牛奶，仿佛在告诉我，他们与我同在，一直慢慢陪伴我，我也有了前进的力量。这日日夜夜所传递给我的温暖，无数次为这冲破困难的力量增加原料，让我愈战愈勇，砥砺前行。

虽说生活中的温暖是粒粒火星，却需要我们在岁月的尘埃下去寻找，发现，感受;虽说生活中的温暖是点点繁星，亦是需要我们伸手去拾摘。不要怕他们烫手，也不怕他们昂贵，生活中的温暖只需要你去用心感受，就会给予你强大的力量，让你拾得一片繁花似锦。

9月28、29日是我校一年一度的运动会，这天早上，我一进校门，就看见教学楼上、操场上彩旗飘扬，十分热闹。

运动会开始了，先是升旗仪式，再是少先队员，领导讲话，接下来就是田径比赛。第一项男子60米预赛，大哥哥都非常厉害，他们的啦啦队也不逊色，不停的喊着加油。不一会儿就轮到女子预赛，这是我参加的比赛，站在起跑线上我心里非常紧张，手上的伤口在隐隐作痛，我心里暗暗的说“我不能退缩”。只见裁判员举起信号枪高喊“各就各位——预备——砰!!一声枪响，我努力的向前跑，就像一支离玄的箭像终点冲去。”加油!加油‘’!的喊声此起彼伏，一阵高过一阵。虽然我拿到了小组第二名，但还是晋级下一轮。接下来是100米的比赛，我也得去参加。我在排队时，天空刚下过雨，地上还有水，但是我们还是像往常一样，踏着积水冲向终点。我得了小组第二名。400米决赛开始了，我们班的一位男生非常厉害，有好几次别班的同学想超过他都被他甩了。女子400米成绩也不错。很快，这一天就结束了。

第二天，我在吃早餐时，听到了“滴滴答答”的声音。我纳闷起来：下雨了，运动会还要不要开呢?我带着疑问走进了教室，班主任也说不清楚，便让我们写作文。

2个小时过后，雨小了点，运动会照常开始了。60米决赛即将开始，我踢踢腿，伸伸手，跳了几下，就开始了，枪“砰”的一声响了，我奋力向终点跑去，结果得了第五名。在100米比赛中，我的心更轻松了，跑了个第四名，还破了校记录，当时我都有点不敢相信，走过去看了看，才知道是真的。

通过这次比赛，我知道了付出才会有收获。

Dragon Boat Festival is one the very classic traditional festivals, which

has been celebrated since the old China. Firstly, it is to in honor of the great

poet Qu Yuan, who jumped into the water and ended his life for loving the

country. Nowadays, different places have different ways to celebrate.

In my hometown, there will be a traditional competition, that is the dragon

boat race. People make up the team and fight for the honor. Every boat looks

like the dragon and it is the most obvious feature. A lot of people will come to

visit or watch the match. Then the game begins. The audience will cheer for the

teams and the competitors try their best to make the boat go fast. It is very

lively.

Besides the competition, eating the traditional food zongzi is favored by

everyone. For me, it is very delicious. My grandma makes the best zongzi. She

has the special recipe and it fits my stomach. So every time I go back hometown,

my grandma will make it for me.

In other places, drinking the special wine and hanging the leaf are also

the tradition. The preserve of the traditional festival makes our culture

profound.

军训，意味着什么？就是提高纪律观念，磨练意志，培养团队意识。对于我来说，更是锻炼个人的身体和心理素质。

在严肃的训练场，我们每个同学都英姿飒爽，没有丝毫的矫揉造作，有的是铁的纪律，钢的意志。俗话说，“流血流汗不流泪，掉皮掉肉不掉队”，这句格言已成为我的座右铭。这里的集体意识很强，做什么都和队友一起，生活在一起，训练在一起，包括受罚也一起。服从命令是军人的天职，不管多苦、多累，不管任务有多难，只要教官发出指令，必须做到，并且要全力以赴做到最好。

军训的五天，留下了很多难忘的回忆，它们像电影一样一帧一帧地出现在我眼前。在烈日炙烤的足球场上，火辣辣的阳光直接照射在我们的身上。我们抬起头，挺起胸，一动不动地站着。热气不断从地上冒起，脚底又酸又麻又热，豆大的汗珠顺着我们的脸颊流淌下来，没一个人敢擦，因为没有命令。现在想着，虽然很辛苦，但何尝不是一种快乐、一种充实？

“逝者如斯夫，不舍昼夜。”五天的训练转眼成了回忆，这期间我们付出了辛劳和汗水，得到的确是宝贵的人生财富。我把自己比作是一把待铸的剑，只有经过艰苦的磨砺才能成就利剑，军训就是一种磨砺。

一个人只有坚忍不拔的毅力、坚强的意志，才能迎接更大的挑战，才能成就更好的自己，这是军训告诉我的。

A young man asked Socrates the secret to success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. They met. Socrates asked the young man to walk with him toward the river. When the water got up to their neck, Socrates took the young man by surprise and ducked him into the water. The boy struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled his head out of the water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breath of air. Socrates asked, “What did you want the most when you were there?” The boy replied, “Air.” Socrates said, “That is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it. There is no other secret.”

一个年轻人向苏格拉底询问成功的秘诀，苏格拉底让年轻人第二天早晨到河边 见他。他们见面后，苏格拉底叫年轻人和他一起走向河里，当河水淹至他们的 脖子时，苏格拉底出其不意地抓住年轻人并把其压入水中，那人想要挣出水面， 而强壮有力的苏格拉底将他摁在水中直到他变得无力抗争，脸色发青。苏格拉 底将他的头拖出水面，这个年轻人所做的第一件事就是大口喘息后，深吸一口 气。苏格拉底问： “当你闷在水里的时候你最想要的是什么?”年轻人回答说： “空气。 ”苏格拉底说： “那就是成功的秘诀。当你像渴望空气一样渴望成功， 你就能够获得它!没有其他的秘密了。 ”

The summer holiday is coming. Our class have had a discussion about what to do during the holiday. Some are in favor of staying at home. They think its both convenient and comfortable. Whats more, they can save money for other purposes. But they will lose the chance of getting to know the outside world.

However, others prefer to go out for traveling since it can increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons. But they will spend more money and meet some difficulties while traveling.

In my opinion, it would be much better to stay at home, for I can do what I like, such as reading books, watching TV, and helping my parents with the housework.

Nowadays, more and more people prefer to travel quite often. Bytraveling,

we not only can relax ourselves but also broaden our knowledge circles. From my

aspect, I think we can make many friends and travel with them.

Firstly, we can enjoy the beautiful scenery and relax ourselves. For modern

life, we are busy with our work with high pressure. However, when we travel, we

will be attracted by great landscape and forget pressure from both work and

life.

Secondly, we can make friends by traveling. For most travelers, they tend

to find many companions to travel with. If you check the internet, you will find

that some people will call others to join them for travel. Through this kind of

travel, we can meet many different people and make friends with them to broaden

our social circle.

Thirdly, we can learn much knowledge form travel. Before you go to

somewhere to travel, generally, you need to make plans for your travel. You can

find lots of things you don’t know when you make a plan, such as, the origin of

a certain area, the customs of different areas, local food and so on.

In conclusion, we can not only relax ourselves and make new friends but at

the same time we can learn much from travel.

The usage of Internet becomes one of the most controversial topics in the

society. As a college student, I believe Internet is beneficial to me more than

the way it harms me. There are many advantages for using Internet.

First, I can best use my time to find information online instead of going

to different libraries. Also, the information can be dated back in decades ago.

It is very helpful to use those information as reference and historical proof.

In the library, it is hard to find so much "old" information. Another advantage

to use Internet is that I can stay home and have a lecture online. It is much

more convenience to me because I can stay warm to have class in the winter time

instead of spending two hours on the bus and physically attend class. In

addition, Internet provides me a better way to communicate with my friends and

professors. I can get response from my professor in a few minutes instead of

waiting outside of his door for hours. Some of my friends are living in a

foreign countries, I can simply just drop him an email whenever I can and get a

message from him very quick. It is much better than waiting for letters. Also,

the email will not lose while the letter might be losing in the process of

delivery.

However, there are also disadvantage of using Internet. For example, I

might spend too much time on the Internet to concentrate on my study. Also,

there is a chance that I am cheated because of the Internet purchasing. Last,

Internet has lots of information, both helpful and harmful. There might be too

much tempatation that I will access some of the harmful information I can on the

Internet.

Even though the usage of Internet has both positive and negative effect to

me, I still consider Internet is a symbol of technology development. I believe I

can use the Internet very well as long as I know how to control myself.

The giant panda is a national treasure in our country, they are very cute.

Recently, I came to the hometown of giant pandas, chengdu panda base to

visit.

Entered the panda base, I saw the "fog" from the side of the hearth, and

likely to increase humidity. Then, I found the bamboo on both sides of the tilt

to the middle, formed a huge "arch bridge", for tourists to enjoy. Then, we came

to the giant panda museum. We first watched on giant panda breeding and so on

video, then, I started to play the game here: imitation of giant pandas, find

the bride for the panda, and so on.

Then, we came to the giant panda "villa" : every panda about 15 square

meters of the "indoor residential" and several "outdoor garden" the size of the

sitting room. They sometimes along the garden wooden posts climbed several

meters high rack, the crawling around on it. In indoor, they often walk around

the glass window, as if to show people it lovely side. Then he will be picked up

in the middle of the bamboo, taste with relish.

We will go forward, then came to the young giant panda base. You dont call

them "panda". Because the red panda is another panda. Head I thought I would see

a big, white and black giant pandas, youth didnt see the size of a mouse pink

"pig". Afterwards just know, the giant panda cub is these furry little one. I

came to another room, suddenly found the young pandas here head is much bigger

than before, and also has become a black and white. It is hard to imagine but

larger than the "pig", less than a month of young giant pandas.

Finally, we arrived at the panda. But they are many only live together. The

panda brown and white, very lovely. The panda and the giant panda is not the

same, however, gave birth to have had the bright colors.

Chengdu panda base is the panda "shelter", care and concern every

panda.

The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. People usually

called yuanxiao. It can take people good luck all the year round.

On the weekend I like to spend time in library. I like reading books. There

are many people in the library, but it is very quiet. Nobody talks in the room,

only the sound of page turning. I’m very interested in the space, so I read a

lot of books about space. Recently, I read the book Martian. It is about an

astronaut Mark left on the Mars alone, he did many things to keep himself alive.

After 549 solar days his crew mates came back to take him home. Mark is very

tough to survive in Mars, he is a big hero. In the library I can read so many

story and see the bigger world. I like library.

Since I go to middle school, I have to learn many subjects. Though I am not

the best student in class, but I won’t give up. I always tell myself to work

hard, because if I want to compete with other students, I need to make great

effort. People are easy to deny themselves when they face difficulty. If they

fail one time, then they will doubt the effort they have made. Actually, we are

not studying in vain. What we learn will be a great help to improve ourselves.

The thing we learn decides what kinds of person we are. So don’t deny yourself,

as you will see the value you have stored before in the future.

Nowadays, more and more people realize the harm of smoking and the damage

it bring to the people around us. Considered the health of people themseves and

the one they care, many smokers try their best to give up smoking. When quiting

smoking, I have some suggestions. First of all, people should have strong will

on giving up smoking. Personal determination is the most important factor. When

feeling eager to smoke, people should think about the damage of smoking and the

people they love. And then they can strengthen their will not to smoke.

Secondly, sweep away all the cigarette around. They can’t find any cigarette

when they want to smoke. And then after a while, their wants for smoke will

reduce gradually. Last but not least, prepare some candies in the pocket, when

people want to smoke, eat candies instead. Hope every smoker succeed in the

end.

As the saying goes, "not a true man unless he comes to the Great Wall".

When I was small, I know there is a Chinese building called the Great Wall. So I

very want to go to there to see. Finally, when I was three years old, my father

and mother took me to the Great Wall.

Far see the Great Wall, it is like a huge dragon, hovering in the numerous

mountain. Its ups and downs, and sometimes hidden in the mountains, and

sometimes jumped out from the mountains, like surf on the roller.

Father hold me, go up along the steep steps, I looked at the Great Wall, it

is hard to find a flat place, all of them are steep, slope, the steps of each

slope and the steps of the joint has a tower. These towers like past a huge,

magnificent castle.

People mountain people sea, climbing to the Great Wall. In the photo and

the Great Wall, magnificent in praise of the Great Wall, people say: "well, the

badaling Great Wall really real!" And enjoy the beautiful scenery. Even the

foreigners come to China to see the beauty of the Great Wall. Looking down from

the Great Wall, the rolling mountains, reflected in our eyes, pieces of thick

forests and maturity, endless.

The Great Wall is built with large stone and ChengZhuan, tall and strong,

the walls covered with square brick, square brick is flat and level. Outside the

wall along the lines of "window" and the "gap".

The Great Wall, it is the world famous great buildings.

Almost everyone knows that water covers three-fourths of the earths

surface. Most of it， however， is in the oceans and is too salty to drink. Also，

some of it is frozen and cannot be used. In fact， less than one percent is left

for the use of people， animals and plant life. All through history men have

tried to build their homes near the sources of fresh water. Now fresh water is

becoming scarce， but more and more is needed because of the increasing number of

people in the world. Some industries also use large amounts of fresh water in

the production of things such as steel， petroleum， paper and rubber and so on.

Scientists estimate that the need for fresh water will have doubled by the year

2003. If they are correct， we must find new ways of saving it or producing it.

Some nations have worked on the problem and are already sharing their

information with others. They are trying to keep their rivers from becoming

polluted. Deep wells are also being dug， and rain water is being collected in

huge artificial lakes. In one way or another， they hope to provide enough water

to satisfy the needs of their people.
