有关付出与收获的优秀英语作文（精品20篇）

这个节日的由来逝代中国有一位博学多闻的官吏屈原，他是一位爱民而且又受到尊崇的官吏，但是由於一位充满嫉妒的官吏陷害，从此在朝廷中被皇帝所冷落。由於无法获得皇帝的重视，屈原在忧郁的情况下投汨罗江自尽。

由於对屈原的爱戴，汨罗江畔的居民匆忙的划船在江内寻找屈原，并且将米丢入汨罗江中，以平息汨罗江中的蛟龙。即使他们当时并没有找到屈原，但是他们的行为，直到今天在端午节的时候，仍然被人们传颂纪念著。

The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government official named Chu Yuan. He was a good and respected man，but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperors court.

Unable to regain the respect of the emperor，in his sorrow Chu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river. Because of their admiration for Chu Yuan， the local people living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons.

Although they were unable to find Chu Yuan，their efforts are still commemorated today during the Dragon Boat Festival.

春节，一个我期待很久的日子，原本应该处处是一派快乐、热闹，到处充满欢声笑语的景象。但今年的春节，由于新型冠状病毒的肆虐，所以我只能待在家中，不可以出门，有事出门也要戴着口罩，而且爸爸妈妈每天都会提醒我要注意保暖，注意个人卫生。而在前线奋战的医生们，不知奋斗了多少个日夜，可是，新型冠状病毒好像丝毫没有退却的念头。在这几天中，不知有多少人被病毒夺去生命，不知有多少医生为了战“疫”不可以回家，还在与病毒抗争。

Spring Festival, a day Im looking forward to for a long time, should be

full of happiness, bustle and laughter. But this years novel coronavirus is so

rampant that I can only stay at home and wear masks when I go out, and my

parents remind me to keep warm and pay attention to personal hygiene every day.

The novel coronavirus seemed to have no intention of retreat, but doctors

struggled for many days and nights. In these days, I dont know how many people

have been killed by the virus, and how many doctors are still fighting against

the virus in order to fight the epidemic.

我不禁要问：“新型冠状病毒，你为什么选择了人类?为什么选择这样的日子降临人间?为什么要来伤害人类?”

What novel coronavirus, what do you choose to do with humans? What makes

such a date come to earth? Why do we want to harm human beings?

一天晚上，新型冠状病毒大胆地出现在我面前，扬起下巴轻蔑地一笑说：“你只看结果，不看经过，你知道我是怎么来的吗?我本来生活在动物身上，可是你们这些人类杀死了它们，还把它们吃了，还有人直播吃蝙蝠的过程。所以引发疾病的不是我，而是你们人类。而且我想告诉你，在这个世界上最可怕的不是狮子、老虎，而是你们人类，你们人类的嘴是一个无底洞，是永远也填不满的，你们人类贪婪、残忍，不停地伤害动物，难道你们就不害臊吗?”说完它转过身就走。我冲着病毒叫喊：“可人类也有善良的一面，在这个世界上好人一定比坏人多。”新型冠状病毒转过身来说：“人类的残忍是不可想象的，你们已经打破了生态平衡，直到现在还有人不知悔改!”我大声喊道：“你快走吧!人类已经知道错了，如果你再不走，人类总有一天会把你消灭的。”新型冠状病毒说：“我可以走，不过，如果人类再不知悔改，我的兄弟们还会再来的。”

One night, novel coronavirus boldly appeared before me. Chin lifted up and

smiled scornfully. "You only look at the results, but do not see the passage. Do

you know how I came? I was living on animal, but you humans killed them, ate

them, and someone else was eating live bats." So its not me that causes the

disease, its you humans. And I want to tell you that the most terrible thing in

the world is not the lion or the tiger, but you human beings. Your human mouth

is a bottomless hole, which is filled with discontent forever. You human beings

are greedy, cruel, and constantly hurting animals. Arent you ashamed? "After

saying it, turn around and walk away. I shouted at the virus, "but human beings

have a good side. There must be more good people than bad people in this world."

The novel coronavirus turned around and said, "the cruelty of human beings is

unthinkable. You have broken the ecological balance. Until now, there are still

no repentance!" I shouted, "go away!" the human race has already known that it

is wrong. If you do not go again, mankind will one day destroy you. The novel

coronavirus said, "I can go, but if the human beings do not know repentance, my

brothers will come again."

突然一阵铃声传来，我醒了，可新型冠状病毒说的话却还在我耳边回荡。我希望人类可以吸取此次的教训，善待地球，拒绝吃野生动物，也希望那些染上新型冠状病毒的人们快点好起来

Suddenly, novel coronavirus came back, but I still woke up in my ear.

Animal and novel coronavirus, I hope that people can learn from this lesson,

treat the earth well, refuse to eat wild animals, and hope that those who are

infected with new coronavirus will get better soon._ueditor_page_break_tag_

The summer vacation is here, and the students are very happy. Now I will

introduce to you how my summer vacation was spent.

When I started to do my homework during the summer vacation, I was always

afraid that I would not finish it. As a result, on July 15th, I was almost

finished. After a few days, the rest of the homework was finished, and there

were only two essays left. I didnt write until August 14th. Next week, my

parents are going to take me to play for two days. I am very happy. Summer is

almost over and I really wish it would be longer.

The summer vacation is almost over, and I have something to worry

about.

Its just that I havent written an essay yet. The school will start soon,

when will I write? In ancient times, people often said: The young and the strong

do not work hard, and the boss is sad. We want us to cherish time, but if I am

different, I will waste time. I am lazy. I hope this shortcoming can be

corrected. I hope you can support me a lot!

Today is the first day of my learning to swim. Before that, I prepared some

necessary things for swimming, such as swimming caps, swimming trunks, swimming

goggles, etc., and I was excited for several days, looking forward to todays

arrival.

When I came to the swimming pool of Baolihao Fitness Center, I saw that the

water was clear and clear, and it could be used as a mirror. I was in a group

with three other children, who, like me, came to study on the first day. Our

main task today is to practice holding and breathing. Yutian, I have never been

in contact with water, so at first I was afraid to hold my breath because of the

water, but when I saw everyone elses head sinking, I mustered up the courage to

sink my head, but it took less than six seconds to come out, and the other

students It took me about 30 seconds to hold back. It seems that I have to do my

best.

When I got home, my mother told me that I have to be determined to do

anything. Since I have gone to learn, I must learn it. If some movements are not

in place, I must find a way to practice more. I think what my mother said makes

a lot of sense, so I practiced holding my breath in the washbasin at night. It

lasted for more than 20 seconds at most. It seems that as long as I work hard, I

can do better. If there is a will, things will come true !

因为坚持，沙石忍耐住大海的蹂躏，终于化作璀璨的珍珠;因为坚持，天空忍受住雨水倾盆的阴霾，终于看见那道绚丽的彩虹;也因为坚持，2018年的我收获满满!

说起2018年，最让我自豪的不是舞蹈比赛获一等奖，也不是期末考试成绩再次在年段名列前茅，而是因为我的坚持不懈，终于学会了游泳。

记得学习游泳的第一天，教练让我们学习憋气和换气：先深吸一口气，然后把整个头钻进水里憋气，几秒钟后到水上张嘴换气，再把头钻进水中，一直循环……我看着教练的示范，也有模有样地学了起来，可是每次都因为张嘴换气太慢而呛到水。尽管努力练习了好几遍，可直到下课我都学不会。

回到家里，我气馁地对妈妈说：“游泳怎么那么难学啊?我不想学了!”妈妈听了，鼓励我说：“既然开始了，就要坚持!来，我们在家里练!”说完，妈妈端来一盆水放在我面前!我想：是啊，别人都能学得会，我为什么学不会呢?只要我坚持了，一定能学会的!于是，我对着脸盆一次次地练习憋气和换气。虽然误吞了好多水，可半个小时后，我竟奇迹般地掌握了憋气换气的要领。我高兴得手舞足蹈，心里第一次明白了“坚持”的意义。

第四天，在学蹬腿动作的时候我又遇到了困难。教练让我们趴在池边，后脚掌向外翻开，然后用力往后一蹬，最后迅速把双腿夹在一起。我在岸上的时候明明练得很标准，可是一下水就手忙脚乱、不知所措，始终不能前进一步，只能在原地打转，稍不留神还呛了一肚子水，弄得我眼泪鼻涕一涌而出。我很沮丧，心里想：“该死的游泳，我恨你!不学了，不学了!”

我真想拍拍屁股直接回家了，可是看到泳池边耐心等待的妈妈，我突然想起了她对我说的话：“如果农民伯伯耕种时，嫌庄稼成熟太慢，把苗拔了，你还能吃到米饭吗?如果运动员们不刻苦练习，中途放弃了，在奥运赛场上还能看到他们英姿飒爽的身影吗?”于是我决定重整旗鼓，坚持学下去，我就不信学不好!凭着一股韧劲，我更加认真地观察老师的动作，在水下一遍一遍地练习。终于，工夫不负有心人，经过了几天的坚持练习，我掌握了“收、翻、蹬、夹”这几个动作的要领，并且很快学会了游泳。

宝剑锋从磨砺出，梅花香自苦寒来。2018年，因为坚持，我不但能在水里遨游了，而且在其它方面也收获满满：校运会跳远银牌、钢琴通过六级、舞蹈比赛第一、学习成绩名列年段前茅……2019年，我将用“坚持”再创佳绩。

今天上舞蹈课时，老师让我们学习“翻前桥”。

老师先给我们做示范。只见她把左脚迈出一步，双手高高地伸向天空;接着她向前弯下腰来，双手撑着地面，手掌紧贴在面前的地板上;然后右脚用力一蹬，那条腿就像装了弹簧似的弹到空中，随即左腿也跟着上来了，双腿并排着，直直地立在半空中了。停了一会儿，老师的双腿又像剪刀似的，一前一后打开来，在空中开了一个竖叉，再停一会儿，就把右腿一收，轻盈地落回地面，直起上身，稳稳地站了起来。

我们鼓掌尖叫，一个个跃跃欲试。我觉得很简单，就马上尝试了起来。我先做好准备动作，就马上弯腰双手平撑在地上，右脚用力一蹬，双腿也像老师那样立起来了。我沾沾自喜，又在空中开了个竖叉。突然，我觉得重心不稳，身子一歪，“呯”的一声，重重地摔在了地上。屁股那传来一阵剧痛，我坐在地上，咧着嘴皱着眉捂着屁股不敢动。老师和伙伴们马上围过来问候我，看我没事，都各自练习开了。

我低着头，轻轻地揉着屁股，心里想：前桥看起来很简单啊，怎么这么易摔倒呢?我的屁股一定摔红了，我不练了，哼!我抬起头看看伙伴们，伙伴们都在那认真地练着，不停地翻着，她们也会摔倒，但她们摔倒了，揉揉屁股就爬起来了，没有一个像我这样，坐在这儿轻言放弃。我觉得她们是那样不畏艰苦，坚定执着。看着看着，我不觉羞愧起来，我想：我就这么软弱吗?我就这么轻易放弃吗?不就是摔一跤吗?我猛地站了起来，我下定决心，继续练习!

我摔了一次又一次，就算再疼，就算再难，我都咬咬牙坚持练下去。突然，我感觉我立稳了，我成功地翻过来了!我再次看了看我的脚，它们正稳稳地站立在地板上。我高兴地大喊：“我终于学会翻前桥啦!”老师和伙伴们也为我鼓起掌来，我甜甜地笑了。

原来，有些事，看着容易，做好却是不容易的，甚至会遇到很多困难。只要不怕苦，不怕困难，肯努力，肯下功夫，就可以成功!今天我虽然受了点痛，但我分外开心：因为我不但学会了翻前桥，还明白了一个道理，收获真大!

Good afternoon， everyone。

The topic of my speech today is “Being a Good Listener”。

Good listening can always show respect， promote understanding， and improve interpersonal relationship。

Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children， so they will understand them better， and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students， then they can meet their needs better， and place themselves in a good relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates， thus they will help and learn from each other， and a friendship is likely to be formed。

What I want to stress is that each of us should listen to others。 Show your respect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a supportive silence or a knowing smile; be open-minded to different opinions even though you don’t like them。 In a word， good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other。

Thank you for your listening!

Honesty is long-lasting virtue of people all over the world. Likewise, it

is also one of the deeply-held values of the Chinese people. Some people believe

that in the market economy, honesty tends to be obsolete. In my opinion, honesty

will never be out of date no matter what the situation might be.

Firstly, honesty has been treasured and honest people have been respected

through history in all parts of the world. People everywhere would regarded

honesty as a virtue and hate a dishonesty person. Secondly, honesty is the basis

of interactions among people. People should treat each other sincerely and open

their hearts to each other. Only in this way can the relationship among the

people be natural. Thirdly, in the market economy, some people try to get more

money at the cost of honesty. To them, a best businessman is one who can cheat

most tactfully. Even in this kind of society, honesty is deeply valued by most

people.

We can see that not only in history, but also at the present day, honesty

was and is valued by the majority of the people and the virtue will not perish

so easily.

每个人都有过挫折，有一些人选择放弃，有一些人则坚强，不被挫折所折服。努力这个字眼，被很多人忘记，而那些人注定在人生中失败的。要努力，在人生中总会有失败的。要努力，在人生中代表你加油过。要努力，在人生中你一定付出过的。

你不努力，不加油，不付出，你的字典里永远都不会有成功两字的，你的人生中永远都不会有非凡的事情。那是永远，永远。努力，加油，付出，虽然苦役点，但你有成功，你就代表着你的人生中会精彩，会快乐。

有一首歌词写得好，不经历风雨，怎能见彩虹。是啊，你不经历过，一生都是平躺的，没有磕磕碰碰，那，你没有完整的人生，没有精彩的故事，没有幸福的微笑。那，你，是注定的失败者，你，是不可能成功，你，不会有快乐的人生，你，注定要有遗憾。你只要在一场暴风雨里，不退缩，去迎接那暴风雨，大声告诉它，我不怕你，我要快乐的去迎接你，我一定要战胜你，我会成功，我会加油的。一阵暴风雨过后，你还在原地努力，那，你已经成功，你已经战胜了它。彩虹会出来向你微笑，它会说：“你成功了，你战胜了它，你是我们的英雄。”而你也为自己而高兴，会已自己为骄傲。

每个人都离成功只有一步，可是你不去跨过这一步，而一直这样洋洋的，你永远永远不会成功，因为，你不愿跨出这一步，你认为这一步可以不要走了，你认为你已经成功了，那，你大错特错了，那一步就是关键，那一步只要你加油，只要你努力，只要你付出，你就是那个成功者，你就是那个胜利者，你就会有一丝丝的满足，一点点的快乐。

我只要一句话说：

努力!加油!付出!才会成功。

要对自己有信心。

things, can also receive a lot of red envelopes, you can also watch TV for a

long long time, really is so happy.

A red envelope is New Years money, since ancient times, elders will send

children lucky money on New Years eve, seems to be a meaning of exorcism

disaster, mother said to put "lucky money" in under the pillow, pillow to sleep

on it. I really do as this way, because it is very new.

I also looked at the Spring Festival gala, the deepest memory is the

"hello, I am leave." "Why? Why is this?" Whenever I say this, mom and dad

我盼星星、盼月亮，终于盼到了母亲节，因为在母亲节这一天，我们可以回报母亲对我们的关爱。

I look forward to the stars, the moon and finally mothers day, because on

Mothers day, we can return our mothers love for us.

老早就听说，有人在母亲节里举行一些与母亲有关的节目进行联欢、比赛。于是，这一天妈妈也如法炮制办起了一个《母亲节》感恩联欢会，并且以比赛的形式举行，根据你的表演评分，表现好的还有奖品。

Ive heard for a long time that some people hold some programs related to

results were made public, everyone gave me warm applause. Oh! I almost forgot to

tell you that I volunteered to be the host this time, and my parents also

praised me for being a good host.

通过今天的母亲节，我懂得了很多道理，母亲不但赋予了我们生命，而且还养育我们、教育我们，为了我们的健康成长，她们操碎了心，我们以后一定要讲究卫生、好好学习，用好的身体、好的成绩来报答妈妈。

Through todays mothers day, I learned a lot of truth. Mother not only gave

us life, but also raised and educated us. For our healthy growth, they broke

their hearts. We must pay attention to health, study hard, and repay our mother

with good health and good grades.

通过这次母亲节活动，我还知道了母亲节是每年五月的第二个星期天，这个节日最早起源于古希腊。

Through this mothers Day activity, I also know that mothers Day is the

second Sunday of May every year, which originated in ancient Greece.

这个母亲节过得真快乐!真难忘!

How happy mothers Day is! Its unforgettable!

Since we go to school, we are taught that no pain, no gain, it means that

if people want to be successful, they must work hard. But the truth is that not

everyone can get what they want, even they work hard so much, but if working

hard does not bring success, why should they still need to work hard. In my

opinion, working hard doesn’t mean the person can success certainly, success

needs more factors, like the time, the luck and other things. There is no doubt

that if the person does not work hard and fight for his goal, there is no way

for him to get what he wants. Some actors start their career at the very young

age, when they are also 40, they become famous suddenly, if they give up, they

can’t be waiting for their reputation. So working hard, there is much chance to

get succeed.

When girls get together, they like gossip. They always talk about the topic of beauty. They will discuss who is the most beautiful girl in school or they will compare the girls and see who is more charming. As the young people, they usually judge people from appearance. The definition of beauty of course is the one who is thinner and has the pretty face. When they ask me which one is more attractive, then I will look at them for a while, because I want to perceive their personality. My view on beauty is not only from appearance as I think most girls have the pretty faces, but also from the inside, only the quality that differentiates them. The pretty faces will fade away anyway, only the quality that helps people to keep charming. So we need to cultivate the good quality.

女孩喜欢八卦，当她们聚在一起时，总是谈论美的话题。她们会讨论谁是学校里最美丽的女孩或者比较谁更有魅力。因为年轻，所以她们通常是从外貌判断一个人，理所当然的认为美丽的定义是瘦跟漂亮的脸蛋。当她们问我哪一个女孩子更有魅力的时候，我会看一会，因为我想想想她们的品行。我觉得大多数女孩都有着漂亮的脸蛋，所以我认为美不仅是外表，还有内心美，只有品行能把她们区分开来。漂亮的面孔会逐渐老去，只有品行可以永远保持魅力。所以我们需要培养良好的品行。

去年的一天，天气非常寒冷，我和爸爸穿着厚厚的大衣扶着自行车来到西南公园学骑自行车。

当时我的心情犹如排山倒海一样激动。

开始学了，爸爸扶着后座以保持车子平衡。我才刚坐上去，车子已经歪歪斜斜了，爸爸边扶着车子边说：“注意前面，把方向杆调到左边，别撞到人。”我按照爸爸的话做，一开始很好，没摔跤。可爸爸以为我学会了，松开了手，顿时，我像一根没人保持平衡的拐杖，重重地跌倒在地上，我重新站了起来，活像一个没了气的皮球。我垂头丧气地坐在台阶上，边咽气边说：“我不会了，原还以为学自行车很容易，才没半个小时就已经头破血流了”。说完我便往回家的路上走去。

爸爸把我叫住了，用严厉的目光望着我，忽然，爸爸仿佛被什么东西猛刺了一下，笑眯眯地对我说：“儿子，你现在还小，不知道什么叫做困难，将来还有比这难一百倍的困难等你长大后去克服它，去征服它，让它的难处变成你的益处，人生中，最大最困难的挑战者不是他人，而是一个完全丧失信心的自我，以后生活中的困难，你要对付它，将是易如反掌，雕虫小技。”

爸爸这段话像钢刀刻在我心上，我抖了抖身上的灰尘，站了起来，扶着崭新的自行车坐了上去。爸爸也有了精神，他扶着后座，我骑。

终于，“功夫不负有心人”，在学骑自行车的第五天，我照老样子做，突然，我觉得整个车身轻了许多，我不由自主地往后一看，天啊，爸爸早已离开我十几米远。我大呼小叫：“爸爸，快点追上来啊!”，爸爸说：“不要害怕，最大的敌人是你自己。”我停了下来，全神贯注地望着前方，用后脚着地一蹬，车子快速地走了起来，我瞬时间变成了一只无忧无虑的小鸟，在快乐天地自由飞翔。

通过这次学习骑自行车的事情，我明白了一个道理：只有付出辛苦的汗水，才会有一份收获。

Dragon Boat race Traditions

At the center of this festival are the dragon boat races. Competing teams drive their colorful dragon boats forward to the rhythm of beating drums. These exciting races were inspired by the villagers valiant attempts to rescue Chu Yuan from the Mi Luo river. This tradition has remained unbroken for centuries.

Tzung Tzu

A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat festival is tzung tzu. This tasty dish consists of rice dumplings with meat, peanut, egg yolk, or other fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves. The tradition of tzung tzu is meant to remind us of the village fishermen scattering rice across the water of the Mi Luo river in order to appease the river dragons so that they would not devour Chu Yuan.

Ay Taso

The time of year of the Dragon Boat Festival, the fifth lunar moon, has more significance than just the story of Qu Yuan. Many Chinese consider this time of year an especially dangerous time when extra efforts must be made to protect their family from illness. Families will hang various herbs, called Ay Tsao, on their door for protection. The drinking of realgar wine is thought to remove poisons from the body. Hsiang Bao are also worn. These sachets contain various fragrant medicinal herbs thought to protect the wearer from illness.

翻译：风俗习惯端午节最重要的活动是龙舟竞赛。比赛的队伍他们多彩的龙舟前进的鼓声中。这项活动的灵感是来自村民的勇敢的尝试营救汨罗江畔的屈原。这个传统一直保持了几个世纪。

粽子非常受欢迎的菜在端午节粽子。粽子的米包着肉、花生、蛋黄及其他材料，再以竹叶包裹。而粽子的传统是为了提醒我们的渔夫，将米丢进汨罗河水安抚蛟龙，希望他们不要将屈原吃掉。
