我的喜好的英文作文(20篇)

On Christmas morning, the children wake up very early. Some even turn on the light at two oclock, and most of them are awake by six oclock, and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared. At about one oclock in the afternoon, the Christmas dinner is brought in. The turkey or chicken is quickly eaten. Children search in their Christmas pudding for new coins which are hidden in it. The rest of the day is full of games and eating until the happiest of all Christmas holidays comes to an end.

Dear Tom，

How is it going these days? I keep wondering how you feel about your school

life in Beijing. Have you got used to the life in China? Are you enjoying your

life? I hope you are.

Let me tell you a piece of good news: I’m going to take part in an English

speech contest of middle school students in July in the coming summer vacation.

So I’m busy preparing for it. But now I have some difficulty in collecting

useful information and using proper English word to express my thoughts.

Besides, I really want to improve my spoken English, especially the

pronunciation and intonation(语调). Of course, as a native English speaker, you

can give me some suggestions.

In addition, I’m going to visit you after the contest. I’m sure we will

have a wonderful time together in Beijing! I can hardly wait to see you! I am

looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

In China, students learn a lot of necessary lessons before they finish high

school. They can choose the special class as they go to college. But in the

western countries, the students need to take part in many special lessons to get

enough credits, since they are in middle school. Though some action has been

taken to improve students level, still many schools ignore it and they focus to

let students get high marks in the exams. The teenagers need to learn some

practical skills, such as swimming, which can save their lives when they are

stuck in the deep water. Students are always passionate about the special

lesson.

The earth is our only home to this day, and many people know that "there is only one earth, we should love it", but some people just talk about it and do nothing. They dont know that some very small actions can protect the environment -- by sorting out the garbage and using the battery to choose the rechargeable battery. Plant more trees in your spare time...

Now the earth is seriously ill, mainly caused by air pollution, water pollution and soil pollution.

Air pollution is mainly caused by the floating of material from factories, power stations and car exhausts into the atmosphere, making the air "dusty and footless". In cities with severe air pollution, people and animals are also affected and stunted. In addition, if the atmospheric carbon dioxide content is too high, it will produce a greenhouse effect, which will melt the ice in the south and south poles and reduce the ozone layer rapidly, which will eventually lead to global warming. It is not difficult to prevent this phenomenon. We can use the power of the transportation to replace the diesel fuel, thus reducing the exhaust emissions, the simplest way of course is to plant more trees.

Water source pollution is mainly caused by waste water and climatic factors. With the increase of population and the extension of human life, mankind will face unprecedented water scarcity. Some people say that the worlds water supply will be in short supply after 2030. To this, we must pay attention to saving and protecting water resources.

Soil pollution is my concern, because soil has a huge connection to air and water. Without soil to grow plants, there is no source of air, and soil is an important survival basis for plants and animals. Without soil, we humans could die. So we must protect the soil. There are many ways to protect the soil, such as in daily life, dont bury things like disposable batteries and foam plastics into the soil. We need to start small, and everyone is helping to protect the soil.

The earth is the cradle of life and the common home of mankind. We should love the earth and protect the earth.

There are too many tomorrow, but there will be no more of the same today. From the starting point of life to the present graduating little boy, you have the life you have lamented the grief at separation and joy in Union? Have failed but still can laugh at life? You have my pain and frustration over the curse of God? Whether you have done this, everything has become the past, good memories; everything has become history, a wise choice.

In a rain in the morning, the flowers and trees on campus after rain baptism, more beautiful, more healthy, my classmates and I are eating breakfast, imperceptibly, I stay in the eyes of a little girl who, he is wearing a yellow skirt carrying a big bag, alone a person wandering in front of the teaching building. At this moment, I can not help but think of themselves, in six years ago, that was the first grade at the entrance of the small child has made such a move, every time when I go to school, I always a person wandering in front of the teaching building, I silently in my heart to leave the nursery when good partners, I it entered the school, started a new study and life, I must work hard, and then get back their competition! This is just a very simple and naive, but now I grow up, remember everything is just a dream, and now whether they meet difficulties, I always the up to fling caution to the winds, think of those who are very far but very close friends, their company makes me feel lonely, they encourage me to have confidence in the future.

There are too many vicissitudes of life, grief at separation and joy in Union in the six years of primary school career, I am lucky to finish my school life here. I have been studying here for six years, although I often have some war of words between my classmates, but I always think I live in a happy, free and forever class. Review the past, I will always feel gratified, always proud of oneself! It all seems like a gold bubble, there are countless small drop of water, though it is never broken, because it needs to collect more drops of water, until the end of the world.

Looking back on the past, our life is so beautiful; looking to the future, our life is so wonderful. We have been traveling on this long road on this road, covered with thorns and flowers. We have been trying to do well, though we will encounter many difficulties on the way, but we have been sticking to the virtues of human nature. The past, let it pass, the history is still beautiful. In the future, I will not give up my dream, no matter how deep the "difficult Valley" is on the road of life. Looking forward to the future, I am confident, I will work hard for my dream!

英文请假条格式

请假条(written request for leave)是英语学习者必须掌握的常用应用文之一，它包括请病假(note for sick leave)和请事假(leave of absence)。请假条是用于向老师或上级领导等因身体状况不好或因某事请求准假的场合。

英文请假条写作需注意三点：

1.英文中请假条的写法和汉语请假条相同， 它一般由四部分组成，即时间、称呼、正文和签名。

2.一般而言，可认定请假条是一种简单的书信文体。请假条一般写在纸上，不用信封。其书写格式与书信有很多相似之处，是书信的大大简化。

3.请假条的特点是要求开门见山、内容简短、用词通俗易懂。

【范文例析】

假如你是王立。昨天你和同学们去农场帮助农民们摘苹果，不幸(unluckily)从梯子上摔下来伤了腿，但伤得不重。医生让你在家里好好休息。因此，你向高老师请假两天(ask for leave for two days)。(2002新疆乌鲁木齐中考题)

【参考范文】

Sep.28

Dear Miss Gao,

Im sorry I cant go to school today. I helped the farmers pick apples with my classmates on the farm yesterday. Unluckily, I fell off the ladder and hurt my leg, but I wasnt badly hurt. The doctor asked me to stay in bed and have a good rest. So I ask for leave for two days. Wang Li

【点评】这是一份采用书信格式写的请假条。日期是September 28, 日期写在正文的右上角。由于请假条的内容大多是当天、近几日因病或因事请假，所以不必写上年份；称呼是Dear Miss Gao，称呼写在左上角。请假条因是向上级请示，一般以Dear...,或My dear...,开头。有时可在Dear之后，用上Mr.或Miss等的称呼加上姓氏。不过，有一点仍要提醒大家，各种称呼后面一般都用逗号。正文谈了一件事：I fell off the ladder and hurt my leg, but I wasnt badly hurt. I cant come to school. I ask for leave for two days. 简洁明了，用词口语化。写请假条只要把请假的理由和请假时间说清楚即可。有的请假条为了说明其请假事由是真实的，在正文之后另起一行，写上I enclose a doctors certificate.(我附上了医生证明。)；签名为Wang Li。签名(署名)写在右下角，签名(署名)上面一行可以写上Yours, Your student等字样，有时由于写条的人和收条的人彼此一般很熟悉，所以在称呼和签名上比较随便和简单。特别是在签名部分，有时可简单到只写个姓或只写个名就可以了。

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。

I hope world peace, although Chinese children live without war, but a lot of areas are still pervaded with brutal wars. I hope to be able to peace. By that time, everyone has a hand of friendship, and everyone is equal and free. There were no invaders, no roar of the rebels, no pistols, and the bombing of the war. I hope that the laughter of children is full of laughter, the sweet smile of the people, the ambitious invaders, and the warmth of kindness, no ambition and greed.

In Afghanistan, after the war, peoples lives are threatened, because in the whole of Afghanistan underground, buried 1 million mines. Its common to kill or blow up by landmines. Even in the center of the city, many people were killed and wounded. What is not believed is that a 10 year old boy was wounded by a mine at the side of the school. Love, people love, respect people, are respected. If everyone understands that all of them live in harmony and mutual humility, we can avoid war. I want the world to be peace forever, to make peace in other regions, and to live a happy life with us.

What are friends? We often talk about the topic with others. I think

friends are those people who can help you when you are in trouble. Don’t forget

the saying, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” Friends can tell you your

mistakes, though what they say is hard for you to listen to. You can share your

happiness, trouble and worry with friends. Someone also says, “You can’t walk

any step without a friend.” So I think friends are very important to us. I would

like to make as many friends as possible.

My hobbies are writing and songs. I like the quiet side of one side of writing songs. No matter what I write, I can be input. I do not like writing, I like to write novels. I also like listening to music, my favorite combination is the young girl, and their songs can bring me energy, make me optimistic. My favorite singer is Avril children, her songs have a variety of styles, so I enjoy the lyrical, cheerful I got my confidence and inspired me rock my youth, my energy. I grew up do not have to be a writer, but I will write novels. I grew up do not want to be a singer, but I will love to sing, listen to music.

Nowadays, some students don’t help their parents do housework at home.

Some parents love their children too much and don’t let them work at home. On one hand, they think that their children are too busy with their studies and expect them to do well in their lessons only. On the other hand, they think their children don’t know how to do the housework.

However, I think students should help their parents do housework at home. First, that can develop their love for work. Next, that can help them understand their parents better. Last and the most important, that can help them cultivate their ability to live.

Dear Santa Claus,

Hello, as time goes by, the sun and the moon fly so fast, and it will be

Christmas soon, you have to give gifts to obedient and very good children. It

reminds me of this time last year. Its long before Christmas and Im thinking

about what I want for Christmas. A few days before Christmas, I put my wish card

in front of my bed early, hoping Santa Claus can see it and help me realize it.

You may be asking, "Why put up the wish card so early? Why not wait until

Christmas Eve?" My answer is: That is because I am afraid you sent the wrong

gift, give you enough time to prepare. On Christmas Eve, I went to bed early,

thinking that I would wake up and open my eyes to see the gift you gave me. But

when I opened my eyes in the morning, I found no present at the end of my bed,

nor on my desk. I was worried because I thought you had hidden the present for

some joke with me. I searched my home carefully, but still there was no present.

I waited another day with great anticipation, but you and your gift still did

not appear. My mother told me that because they do not care for the environment,

Shijiazhuang is seriously polluted, haze weather is bad, you lost your way, so

you can not send Christmas gifts to the children on time. Is that right? Three

days later, I finally received your gift, which was accompanied by a letter of

apology. In the letter, you explained that due to the weather, you delayed the

delivery of the gift. At the same time, you also hoped that we could take good

care of the environment and be guardians of the environment.

Dear Santa Claus, another year has passed, in this year, my friends and I,

protect the environment, save water, try to be a good environmental small guard,

at the same time we also mobilize our father, mother, uncle, aunt and we take

action together, less drive a day a week, green travel. After our joint efforts,

shijiazhuang sky blue, water green, I believe this time you will be able to send

gifts to the children on time!

亲爱的圣诞老人：

您好，时光流逝，日月如梭，马上又要到圣诞节了，您又要给听话又很乖的小朋友派送礼物了。说到这就又想起去年的这个时候了，距圣诞节还好久我就开始想圣诞节自己要的礼物。圣诞节前几天，我早早的把自己的愿望卡挂在自己床前，希望圣诞老人能早点看到并帮我实现。您也许会问：“为什么这么早就把愿望卡挂上去呢?为什么不等到平安夜呢?”我的回答是：那是因为我怕您送错了礼物，给您充足的时间来准备。平安夜的晚上，我早早的就上床睡觉了，想着一觉醒来睁开眼就能看到您送我的礼物。可是，当我早上睁开眼睛，发现我床头没有礼物，我的写字台上也没有礼物，我着急了，以为您和我开玩笑把礼物藏起来了，索性把家里认真得找了个遍，还是没有。我怀着期待的心情又等了一天，您和您的礼物仍旧没有出现。妈妈告诉我，是因为他们不爱护环境，石家庄污染严重，雾霾天气恶劣，您迷路了，所以不能准时把圣诞礼物送到小朋友手中。是这样吗?三天后，我终于收到您的礼物，伴随礼物而来的还有您一封致歉信，信中你说明了因为天气原因，致使你延误了礼物的派送的时间，同时您也希望我们能够爱护环境，做环境小卫士。

亲爱的圣诞老人，又一年过去了，在这一年里我和我的小伙伴们，保护环境，节约用水，努力当好环境小卫士，同时我们还动员我们的爸爸、妈妈、叔叔、阿姨和我们一起行动起来，每周少开一天车，绿色出行。经过我们大家的共同努力，石家庄的天蓝了，水绿了，相信这次您一定能够准时将礼物送到小朋友手中啦!

盼着您的朋友：李子健

Dear Mr Pan:

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 in such 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

The Lunar New Year  a great occasion to the Chinese people. It lasts about the first four days of the year， during which people do not work except for the workers on duty. Students do not go to school， and shops are closed.

Several days before the new year， people begin to prepare. Farmers kill pigs， sheep， cocks and hens. City dwellers buy meat fh and vegetables. Houses are cleaned; coupletsare posted on the doors. Colourful lanterns are hung at the gate.

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.
