我的喜好的英文作文汇集20篇

I think smiling is as important as sunshine. Smiling is like sunshine

because it can make people happy and have a good day. If you aren’t happy, you

can smile, and then you will feel happy. Someone may say, “But I don’t feel

happy.” Then I would say, “Please smile as you do when you are happy or play

with your friends happily. You will really be happy again.”

You don’t like crying, right? So you must prefer smiling, because you know

smiling will let people forget everything unhappy. Every day, we see teachers or

students and say, “Hi/Hello! How are you?” At the same time, you are smiling,

right?

Smiling can let you have more friends. With a smile, people will know

you’re a kind person. They will talk with you, so you will have more and more

friends.

So I say, smiling is like a flower, the sunshine, warmth. It will give you

happiness.

July 18

I have rested for a week. I began to feel bored. So I went out with my

friends. They are my best friends in the middle school. We didn’t go to

someplace special. We just saw the other. We had lunch together. While we were

having lunch, we were still talking about the new school and new friends.

7月18日

我已经休息了一个星期。我开始觉得无聊。所以我与朋友出去。他们是我最好的朋友在中学。我们没去在某处特别。我们看见了其他。我们共进午餐。虽然我们吃午饭，我们仍然谈论新学校和新朋友。

Planting Trees植树

It was fine on March 12, 201x. I got up early that day. All the students in our school went to the hill to plant trees.

We arrived at the hill at eight oclock. The teacher asked each of us to plant at least six trees. Then we started digging, planting and watering. We all worked so hard that we could finish our tasks ahead of time. Among us,Wang Lin, our monitor set a good example for us. Though he was ill, he worked harder. When he finished his task, he went on to help others without even a little rest. He was wet all over after work. "I must learn from him," I said to myself . Looking at the lines of the young trees, we smiled happily, forgetting our tiredness.

201x年3月12日天气晴。那天我起得早。我们学校所有的学生都去山上种树。

我们8点到达山上。老师要求我们每个人种至少六棵植物。然后我们开始挖洞，种植和浇水。我们所有人如此辛勤工作以致我们能提前完成任务。在我们中间，王麟，我们的班长给我们树立了好榜样。虽然他病了，但他很努力的工作。当他完成他的任务时，他还去帮助别人，甚至没有一点休息。在工作完以后，他全身都湿了。”我要向他学习，”我对自己说。看着一行一行的小的树苗，我们愉快地微笑着，忘记了我们的疲倦。

Free Admission to Parks

To encourage people to go outside and relax, a mounting number of parks offer free admission now. People benefit from it, especially during these tough economic times. With free entry, more people will have the opportunity for affordable vacations for families, taking pleasure in the natural landscape.

Fresh air and landscapes in parks are good for people. However, too many people

flocking into parks might not be so good for the parks.

For example, some visitors leave their garbage behind, which may cause environmental pollution. And people’s barbeques and stamping will also bring damage to the grassland and other greeneries in parks.

As a university student, I’m in favor of free admission to parks. Free entry to parks not only saves people’s expenditure, but also makes things fairer — people like the poor and students can go to parks frequently as well. On the other hand, visitors should be informed to preserve the environment while enjoying the beauty of the nature.

The world changed when James Watt invented the first steam engine, when Isaac Newton discovered the universal gravitation after hit by an apple, when Karl Marx wrote The Communist Manifesto, when Chairman Mao solemnly declared the establishment of the Peoples Republic of China on the Tiananmen Rostrum, when Martin Luther King cried out “I have a dream”. The world was changed by something called dream, which is invisible, untouchable but strong enough.

I can assure that every child have written a composition titled My Dream. They have already written down their longing for the future. Some of them want to become scientists; some of them hope to become teachers or doctors. Maybe they didn’t know how many difficulties they will face before their dream come true. But the dreams are like small seeds planted in their hearts; like the beacon in the sea that lead them to their destinations.

Dream is the fountain of strength. Dream is the support of faith. Dream is the Polaris. Dream reminds us to move forward, to struggle, to strive all the time. One of my friends told me that dream will never discard anyone! Yes, maybe one day everything is gone but dreams is still there with you, eternally.

Dream changed us, and therefore we changed the world. It is dream that refreshes the world every day. It is also dream that makes the world improve day by day. We dare to dream. We can also achieve our dreams and change the world.

I can’t imagine the world without dreams. How about you?

“哎，又是过年，过年最没有意思了，就知道在家里看看电视，也没什么好干的！哎……”我想现在的小孩子一定也有和我一样的想法吧。毕竟，现在的过年一点气氛都没有，以前，家家户户都会忙着挂红灯笼，贴“福”字，还有，就是赶着去买团圆八宝饭呢！年初一我们一大早就起床，然后约好了成群结队出去窜门，我们小孩子就在家里玩，然后一起吃团圆饭。可是现在就截然不同了，现在就连什么时候过年，我都会忘了，过年的前一天都在问什么时候过年呢！

Dear Alice，

As a teenager，I met the same problem as you. But now I can get along better with my mother. Here are some ideas for you。

Your mother talks much，because she cares about you. Maybe its not a good way，but it shows your mothers love. So I think you should listen to her. If your opinions are different from your mothers，you can communicate with her，and tell her what you are thinking about。

If your mother doesnt take your advice，just keep silent and give her a smile。

I hope what I say here can help you a lot。

We counted one hundred seconds. Then we went to him and found it. First pass: one man takes a gun, the others look for it. After one hundred seconds, one man wanted to rush out to find a gun. We hastened him to talk about the plan first.

暑假里，妈妈带我去阿克苏。到了哥哥家，我一眼望去看到了哥哥家漂亮的鱼缸，那长方形的大身体，就像一座透明的水晶宫。鱼缸里的鱼可真多呀!有大地图、银龙、金鱼、清洁工等等，远远望去，它们就像一个和睦的大家庭，整天在茂盛的水草里欢快地游来游去，它们不停地摇尾巴，自由自在，无忧无虑，多美呀!

这里面我最喜欢金鱼了。金鱼头上长着一双炯炯有神的大眼睛，像两颗黑宝石似的，它有一张O字形的嘴巴，嘴里不停地吐泡泡，好像小孩子吃的泡泡糖，吞吞吐吐，快乐极了。金鱼身体扁扁的，好像被挤压过一样，它的身上有许多鳞片，亮晶晶地;金鱼的尾巴就像正要打开的扇子，不停地摇摆着，那是在保持平衡呢。我见它无忧无虑的样子，真想也变成一条金鱼。

我还喜欢清洁工，你看他时常撅着嘴，样子丑极了，但是它总是默默地任劳任怨奉献自己，吸取鱼缸上的脏东西。不像别的鱼，只管自己快活，不管别人。

有一次，哥哥让我喂一次鱼，我就直接把半瓶鱼食倒进了鱼缸，那些鱼就你追我赶的游去猛吃鱼食，尤其是那几条小鱼，因为它们太贪吃了，结果给撑死了，我难过极了，哥哥安慰我说：“没关系，这次鱼被你撑死了，下次你就有养鱼的经验。”

离开哥哥家时，我还恋恋不舍地看了看那群活泼可爱的金鱼。我喜欢这个欢乐的大家庭。

[我自己英文作文

Fathers Day is a holiday to celebrate fatherhood and parenting by males,

just as Mothers Day celebrates motherhood. Typically giving gifts to fathers

and celebrating as a family is the main event of the day. Fathers Day is

celebrated on different days in different countries.

Fathers Day exists almost all over the world to honor and commemorate

fathers or forefathers. In the Roman Catholic tradition, Fathers Day is

celebrated on Saint Josephs Day, March 19, though in most countries Fathers

Day is a secular celebration.

In recent years, retailers have adapted to the holiday by selling

male-oriented gifts such as electronics and tools. Schools and other childrens

programs commonly have activities to make Fathers Day gifts.

In the United States, the driving force behind the establishment of the

celebration of Fathers Day was Mrs Sonora Smart Dodd, born in Creston,

Washington. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, as a single

parent raised his six children in Spokane, Washington. She was inspired by Anna

Jarviss efforts to establish Mothers Day. Although she initially suggested

June 5, the anniversary of her fathers death, she did not provide the

organizers with enough time to make arrangements, and the celebration was

deferred to the third Sunday of June. The first Fathers Day was celebrated on

June 19, 1910, in Spokane.

Unofficial support from such figures as William Jennings Bryan was

immediate and widespread. President Woodrow Wilson was personally feted by his

family in 1916. President Calvin Coolidge recommended it as a national holiday

in 1924. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson made Fathers Day a holiday to be

celebrated on the third Sunday of June. The holiday was not officially

recognized until 1972, during the presidency of Richard Nixon.
