给校长的一封信用英语怎么写（热门20篇）

After the death of Cassim, Ali Baba wanted revenge from those terrible

robbers, and so thought of a plan. When his wife and he finished their porridge,

Ali Baba used his money and bought as much oil as his three mules could carry;

and then disguised himself as the king’s peasant.

When it was the afternoon, Ali Baba tied the jars of oil to his three

mules, and then set off to where the rock is. When the robbers arrived they saw

Ali Baba in the disguise of a peasant, they said, “Dear king’s peasant, we wish

to let you move aside, so that we could get something that could make our

life-a-a-a-better,” “Okay dear boys, but first I want you to have some of this

oil which is fresh made. They are very cheap.”

The robbers argued with Ali Baba until they said, okay, but first you step

aside while we get something in the cave; and then come out to buy some oil;”

then they drove Ali Baba away for about a kilometer away from the rock, and then

went back to get their money. The captain of the robbers said, “Open sesame!”

and the door flew wide open, and then they walked inside. After a short time

they came back, they loaded some wood so as to pretend they went there just to

get wood; and then rode off to where Ali Baba stood staring at them eagerly.

“Okay king’s peasant,” said the captain of the robbers, “We shall drink the

oil in which you requested us to do;” and so Ali Baba gave them each a scoop of

oil to drink, and then went back himself.

The next day he went to where the robbers lived, since oil can make people

dizzy, they probably should wake up very, very late. And so he took with him a

can of white paint, and painted their house door with it; then without a word to

say, he carved, “Put the robbers in jail, they stole some money and pretended

that they were nice!”

After a short time he found the robbers waking up, and then dressing up.

They found out all the people in town were staring at their door, they thought,

“Look Erick! They must think our door is pretty indeed. ”And then all the

robbers went out and waved here and there without even noticing that on their

door was the sign. And so they had to be arrested. After a few minutes when they

opened their eyes, they were in jail. And they had a guard to guard the lock,

and so they couldn’t get the keys and come out.

The robbers were not happy, but they said, “Chill up,” to every other

robber because that they had a sick plan.

The Yan family in the distance:

Hello, its New Year again. How are you doing?

Our school has carried out club activities. I signed up for a small host

club. Learned a lot of knowledge, know how to maintain the state of the stage.

Today is December 25th, our school held a club performance. I was joined by Liu

Zhengyan, Lin Qinbaiken and Zhang Ruyu. Lin Qinbaiken held the team flag, which

I made with a piece of yellow cloth. Liu Zhengyan, Lin Qinqiang you must

remember, is the first grade with you behind the small minions. Xi Xi, Zhang

Ruyu you must also recognize! Last time we quarreled, it was Chang Ruyu, the

peacemaker, who pulled us apart

What impressed me most about the club activity was the bookmark and flower

made by ZS Creative Workshop. The bookmark was rolled up with paper, pasted with

white glue, and then formed a circle to become a flower

The flower is made with filar socks, but lifelike! When we go in, see these

flowers, the first reaction is: good beautiful real flowers! It was only when

chang, out of breath, stopped to tell us it was a lie that we realized. Ha ha!

Thats funny!

When can you come back and see us again, Yan family? We all miss you and

look forward to your return.

I wish you the best

Happy New Year!

Your forever friend: Yu Jiayu

Dear President,

Hello!

I am an ordinary student in the school, I have lived in the school for more

than five years, our school is a beautiful big garden, is the teachers,

classmates common home. Here, I can smell the fresh air every day, I feel happy

for I can study in such an environment. However, I found that some students are

destroying our "home". Look at the plastic bags of bread "dancing" in the

hallway. However, none of the students passing by will pick it up. In order to

provide a better environment for the school, I would like to make the following

suggestions:

1. Tell the students about environmental protection with the red scarf

broadcast and publicity column.

2. Set up an environmental protection team and invite students to

participate voluntarily. Students from the environmental protection team will go

to the corridors of each floor for inspection at regular times every day. If you

see a student throw it, give appropriate criticism. And give rewards to those

who find out.

3. Call on students to make a handwritten newspaper about environmental

protection to enhance their awareness of environmental protection.

4. Set up a "green mobile red flag" rating column. Let the students from

the environmental protection team go to each class at 2:30 p.m. every day to

check the health situation and urge the students to pay attention to health.

The above is my suggestion, I hope you can take it and make our school a

more beautiful big garden.

In the TV station of Paris, a little boy and his mother went in for very,

very, very extremely important news, because one of their precious roofs had

been stolen from some bandits that speak Spanish. The news reporters said that

this could be very news worthy, and so he decided to report this on the news;

and they should be on it too.

When they were done, they checked it too, “And so today we have fresh news;

and it was Spanish bandits, they stole one of our world’s most precious roofs.

Who could these bandits be? And now we have the owner of the roof. [Giving the

microphone to the boy’s mother].” “The bandits were as strange as any is, and

they even have strange eyes like what France people have. Don’t you think that

they were just the weirdest bandits ever, and I have also realized that one of

the most important things or clues to catch bandits is to call the police and

tell them what they look like and catch them; I just don’t know why they have to

steal our most precious roofs; it was so strange and unbelievable.

“I shall soon find out what this bandit is up to; oh wait a second, our

world and Spanish had always been enemies; if they stole our roof, well they

must stole it for some particular reason, and I think that they need the gold to

make a magnificent gun; and so to get rid of us. Oh, and I think I hear an army

coming towards us, and I think that we are doomed.”

“Well that is today’s news and I hope that you have enjoyed it, and clear o

say I hope that you don’t enjoy, but Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Help us think of a

clear plan to defeat the Spanish army! Ah!”

The news reporter was clearly afraid of what was being discovered by the

woman and her child; the woman said, “Don’t worry; they still didn’t enter the

America gate, I have a plan.” Then she grabbed one of the bravest soldiers and

placed him in front of the gate wit which was the America gate, he said,

“Welcome to our land, and I am pleased to say that we welcome you; and we have

come to give you all of our jewels, if you leave us in piece.” “Well I guess

that we could obey it,” they then took the fake paper jewels that was part of

the plan, and left the real jewels of America in the castle asleep.

Dear Tom,

Thanks for your letter which finally caught up with me in London. I suppose youre keen to hear how the trip has been so far. So heres a short description of whats happened.

Well, you remember we left Sydney on Monday and arrived in London 24 hours later. After such a long and exhausting flight the first thing we did was to have a good, long sleep. And after that?a good meal to make up for all that horrible airline stuff!

The first real day of our holiday was spent just walking around London to get a feel of the place. After that, however, we were more particular and planned each day carefully.

First, we looked at all the historical sights, such as the Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament, the British Museum and the National Gallery. Then we visited some other famous places, such as Kew Gardens and Hampstead Heath. Finally, we took a one-day trip to Oxford, which is really the most marvelous town. You should make sure to go there when you visit England.

After we had seen a lot of London, we flew to Paris. A t first, we didnt like the place-I suppose because it was so different from London. Later, though, we began to really love it and started to appreciate its differentness.

The final stage of our trip is a visit to Rome, after which we will be staying in Singapore for two days before returning to Australia.

Hope everyone is well. See you soon.

There was once a little girl named Jerry that lived with her mother in a

small cottage in the forest. They were very poor, and could only afford to eat

bread. “Oh no!” cried Jerry’s mother one afternoon, “We ran out of bread, and it

is almost time for supper!” “Do we have any eggs left?” asked Jerry, “No, none;”

said her mother very worried.

“Don’t worry mother,” said Jerry suddenly, “I shall go and get some in the

market.” Then she ran off through the forest to the market with her basket.

Along the way, she was quite tired, so she rested upon some big rocks. It

gradually became late and Jerry decided to go and buy the bread, but suddenly a

wolf cried out behind her; “Please, please help me!” cried the wolf, “I have a

problem that nobody wants to help!” then he held out his paw to Jerry, there was

a thorn stuck to his paw. “Is this a trick?” asked Jerry, “Because wolves like

to eat people.”

“Oh no,” answered the wolf, “We do not eat people now, we only want to eat

some bread with mustard on top;” then he cried again. Jerry quickly knelt down

and removed the thorn from the wolf’s paw; “Oh thank you! Thank you!” shouted

the wolf joyfully, “I shall never forget your kindness!” then the wolf returned

to his home. Jerry walked to the market to buy healthy fresh bread, and then she

ran back home with a full basket of it.

On the way, she was still tired; so she stayed at the same place. As she

was about to go, some greedy wolves blocked her way. They had water in their

mouths and said, “Give us the bread!” said a wolf, “Where are the mustard?”

asked a second wolf, “Just give it to us!” shouted the third wolf. Jerry had no

choice, as she was about to give the fresh bread away to the wolf, the wolf that

she had saved before rushed out and said, “Leave her alone!” he growled, “That

girl saved me before, and so leave her alone!” he shouted again.

The other wolves had no choice but to obey, they walked away. Jerry thanked

her new friend the wolf, and the wolf said that he was supposed to do that in

return. In order to show Jerry’s respect for him, she gave him half the bread,

and returned home immediately to tell her mother about it.

They had some bread that evening, and Jerry’s mother including Jerry

herself both became good friends with the wolf. The wolf also had plenty of

bread, and moved his home close to Jerry.

The moral of this story was: if you help others and they will help you in

return, you help them again then friends you’ll become. It will be a peaceful

life if friendship is all around us.

I was just a little girl five years old. At that age, I did nothing. Every

morning I would get up early and start dressing up to the playground to play. I

have no friends, but I am curious that I could make some by sharing things. And

so I took some bread from the cupboard, took a bottle of milk and ran to the

playground.

There were many children playing there: Some were playing hide and seek,

some were playing tag; some were playing catch, some were playing toys; some

were building sand castle… I ran to the sand pile, there I met some girls

building sand castles. I asked, “May I sit down here, please?” “Suit yourself

coward!” shouted the girls rudely at me.

And so I sat down and began to play. After I had finished half my sand

castle, I heard the girls say, “I am so hungry, but I don’t have money to buy

thing,” and then it hit me; “I have some bread to share with them.” And so I

took some bread out of my bag, and said, “Here, have some bread.” When the girls

took the bread they ate it and said, “Well, well; looks like we have a hero. But

I am not going to be your friend!”

I had spread some jam on my bread and took another piece, put it on top and

started to eat. When I had finished the last bite, I put the rest in my bag, and

went away. I was very sad that sharing things didn’t help me make friends; I

shall have to think of another. After ten days I have thought of another way,

and so started out to the fields. There sat a girl shepherd sitting next a rock.

Now it all happened that this girl was the one that had helped me with

everything I have.

I quietly took out a piece of paper, and wrote some words: I haven’t seen

you for a long time, and so have decided to write you this. I want to thank you

for all you have done for me in the past few years, what do you want me to do

you for this month? After I had finished writing the last words, I put it inside

an envelope; licked the stamp, and stuck in on the right corner of the envelope;

at last closed the top.

After that, I ran to her mail box and put it inside, and then went home.

After a few days I have found a letter from the shepherd girl in my mailbox. I

carefully opened it, and in it was a piece of paper; on the paper were some

words, these are the words: I am very grateful for your kindness, but really I

have much work to do in the fields; If you come here and be a shepherd with me;

then that is the most best thing you could do for me. After reading this, I

thought to myself: I am alone so I guess I could be a shepherd. And so I told my

parents, and set off.

Finally, I had arrived; the shepherd girl came to meet me. “Now I am you

friend Margaret.” said the shepherd girl to me.

I have a good friend, and her name is Lucy. We have known each other for

more than five years. When I am in trouble, she will be the first one to give me

a hand. I am so thankful to her. So when she feels unhappy, I will accompany

her. Lucy is a true friend. I hope our friendship can last forever.

Study English,You do need to use English with speakers who are not teachers

of English. This isnt easy, since everyone feels constrained speaking English

with friends with whom it would be natural to use a shared mother tongue.

Joining an English Club is a good idea and joining a club with an international

membership (where English is in use at least some of the time) is, for many

people, even better. If nothing like this is accessible, you might consider what

would be involved in getting something going.

I have a new pen pal. Her name is Rosa. She is an American schoolgirl. She

was born in April， 1992. Only two years older than me. She likes swimming. She

says she swims very well. She lives with her parents. Her father is a doctor.

Her mother is a teacher. But they don’t in the same school. She studies English，

math， music， history and some other subject at school. In her free time， she

likes swimming， collecting stamps and listening to popular music.

I like to watch movies, especially when I see the inspiring stories, I will

feel touched. These stories are good for me. They inspire me to move on when I

meet difficulties. The heroes will never give up, and finally, they succeed. So

if we want to realize our dreams, we also need to be persistent. Some day, we

can make it.

As a child, when people give me the things to play or eat, I will be very

happy and then accept them. But recently, as there are so much news about the

children being cheated, my mother starts to worry about me, she tells me that I

should not accept the strangers’ things, or I will be hurt. I listen to her

words and I take care of myself carefully.

陈老师,您好:

我是五年三班vv

简单的讲,我曾经以为通过这个假期的努力,我会让他喜欢上英语,但看起来我是错了.尽管这个假期又重新补了第八册的英语,但是他还是有些抵触心态......只是希望这学期能得到陈老师的积极支持与鼓励.哪怕是

每一课的单词认真写了,课文很流利的背出来了,课堂会积极回答问题了,课外又读了一个英语故事或笑话等.我希望他得到你的赞赏和鼓励.因为您的一句话,一个鼓励,一句赞赏,可能就会增加他的学习兴趣,也会给他留下终生的记忆.......也可能因此而改变他的一生!!!

陈老师,其实我们知道您非常希望您的每一个学生都学好它......喜欢它.......甚至从他们中间走出未来的外交家,出色的外商,即便是个出租车司机也是可以和老外自如交流的人.

是的,但是有时也许只是一个鼓励的眼神,一句积极的语言,他们都可能会增加学习外语的

兴趣.而且如果能够让他们用外语交流感兴趣的话题,这也不失为一种提高学习英语兴趣的方法.他们可能会因此而改变一生,因为他因你的鼓励支持而喜欢上了它.

我希望也盼望着听到他不断喜欢英语学习的消息.发自内心的说声谢谢您.!!!

我的联系电话是_____________.任何时候都愿意听到您美妙的声音.

祝您工作愉快!!!

In my life, Ms. Wang is the most important person to me. Her teaching

skills are diverse. In class, she usually uses games and posters. She works hard

for us. When other teachers rest, she still keeps working and working. When we

are mischievous, she is good at giving systematic guidance.

We are really grateful for what she has done for us. We want to say ”thank

you” to her.

It is important to know our good and bad points because this knowledge will

help us to improve ourself. We should examine ourselves and learn who we

are.

对于我们来说，正确地认识自身的优缺点是很重要的，因为这个认识有助于我们自身的提高。我们应该检查自己并学着(认识)我们是谁。

Above all, we should recognize our strengths and weaknesses. For example, I

am healthy and fit, so I can work hard. Im also optimistic, humble and polite.

These are my strengths. However, I also have weaknesses. For one thing, Im

stubborn and a little impatient. Im sometimes lazy as well and can spent a

whole day just watching TV and eating junk food. Im not ashamed to admit these

bad pints. Knowing what they are lets me focus on improving myself.

首先，我们应该认识自己的优点和缺点。举个例子来说，我是个身体健康的人，所以我可以很努力的工作。我也是一个乐观、谦逊和有礼貌的人。这些是我的优点。可是，我也有缺点。首先，我是一个倔强和有点没有耐心的人。有时候我也很懒惰的，(我)可以花整天的时间看电视和吃垃圾食品。我没有对允许这些缺点(出现)而感到羞愧。了解这些优缺点使我(的注意力)聚焦在提高自身方面。

★给同学写一封信英文★

Dear parents and friends,

Happy New Year, everyone! Flicking and waving, we also together with the children through a semester. Thank you all the way!

First, thank you for your strong support!

Every class activity, always have your support. Fun games, Yuan Yuan mother, Geng Zidong mother, Jiang Yutong father and other people to give us a lot of good ideas for activities; When buying a prop hula hoop, Yin hanyis mother left her important work and went around to help, and sent it to the school. Qiu Zichengs mother, in order to buy them for me, sent them to me in person...

In the New Years Day show, in order to let the children perform when the better stage effect, Geng Zihangs mother specially to the beauty salon invited a hairdresser, makeup artist for free for the children dressed; CAI Xinyis mother also left her beauty shop and brought a full set of cosmetics to make up her children. Lin Yuting mother early in the morning for the children to the market to buy all kinds of headdress flower, but not a penny to, zhou li mother and take the initiative to help us to purchase the fan, etc., mother, aunt Liu Jingwen Yin Han Iraq, Chen paid feather zhou li mom and dad, grandma yuan yuan parental help children change clothes, such as clothes, scene is very touching.

The class needs to set up an organization that acts as a bridge between teachers and parents -- the family committee. Hear is to serve for the class, serve for the children, Geng Zihang mother, Lin Tian yu mother, Lin Yuting mother, Du Yixiang mother, Jiang Yutong father, Zhang Lin father, Zhang Wenhao father and other several parents will actively sign up to join the family committee. They began to think of ways to make their children grow up happier. Just after the establishment of the family committee was announced, they held a small meeting under the support of Geng Zihangs mother, to discuss how to divide the labor, how to hold some parent-child activities, how to let parents actively participate in... Because I was too busy to attend the school meeting that day, I did not have time to say to them: Hard!

Second, thank you for your sincere understanding!

So far, when the school, the class encountered things, you are always so sensible. Interesting sports meeting because of the needs of activities, only a few places, you are humble to each other, to participate in, are so active and serious, because you said: we are on behalf of the seven color class of all parents! Its really moving! New Years Day performance, but also only a few parents have the opportunity to enter, you take the initiative to give the opportunity to the paper to participate in the performance of the childrens parents, because you said: "the children go to win honor for the class, the children are the most important, do not let them cold. Cant go to the scene, we can also pay attention to the children! ..." How touching words, parents and friends, you are so great, have the responsibility to take the initiative to take the initiative, have the opportunity but always humble others, you give the children to make the best example, the children feel honored because of you!

Third, thank you for your best cooperation.

Cooperation in educational concepts.

The children of our seven color class are really very clever and lovely, but some take care of themselves ability is poor, some study habit is bad, most children lack self-confidence, part of the childrens study foundation is poor, individual children are particularly capricious... In order to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the child, when I pointed out the shortcomings of the child, no parents have the idea of favoritism of the childs shortcomings, but very sincerely said: "Teacher Ou, we believe you! Kids have problems before, but we dont know how to guide them. Its in your hands now. Well do whatever you need us to do. The child has obviously changed under your hands, our choice is not wrong, the choice of Borite is the right one! ..." Looking at your trusting eyes and listening to your sincere words, I just want to say, parents, I will do my best to live up to your trust in me.

Cooperation in study.

In order to let the children a weeks study, the habit has been consolidated, in order to let us better understand the performance of the children at home in the school, I will be on every Friday request sent to a group, the parents dont get to the Internet, I will also send text messages to mobile phones, and we are looking forward to receiving information, parents see message reply, this I have learned that facilitate the childs behavior is out on parents or children. Up to now, many parents are able to insist on signing homework for their children, so that their children feel the importance of their parents to him. I also got a better understanding of the reasons for my childs shortcomings from the replies and signatures.

The power of the example of the great, the transmission of positive energy, we need to hand in hand! Most parents do it, and most children do it. Therefore, the change of children is also obvious.

In the habit of cooperation.

All of our children live in a very good environment, which leads to the poor self-care ability of many children. Their desks, bookcases clean up, the classroom will not clean. Instead of spoiling your child, you say, "You came here to train him! If there is anything to do, just arrange him to do it. I remember Changyu Haos mother on the phone often told me: "Ou teacher, small Chang is very strong, there is any work in the class need him to do, you arrange it! If the child misbehaves, you must punish him severely. Our parents will never protect us." Although I am not one to punish children, but to hear such words, how moving. I still remember Chen Shuhangs mother said, "Teacher ou, Book hang is active, you let the class be active, let him clean or do something after class..." There are many parents who love their children very much, but there is no ambiguity in the guidance of habits, they know that "habits determine character, habits achieve life" truth.

Because of your cooperation, children do not do homework almost no! Because of your cooperation, childrens desks, bookcases neat much more! Because of your cooperation, the child knows that rules are more important than relationships and that character is more important than money. Because of your cooperation, the children are less and less bad habits, in exchange for is tolerance, self-confidence, competition, sunshine, happy! I am very happy because of your cooperation, the children colorful childhood more beautiful!

Therefore, I would like to offer my parents and friends the following hope:

First, I hope you will cherish the holiday and spend more time with your children.

Play outdoor sports with your child, read books with your child, collect materials for making Chinese tabloids, and enjoy the Spring Festival with your child.

Secondly, I hope you can read the safety notice carefully and have a peaceful and happy New Year.

Third, I hope you can set a good example for your children.

1. Take your homework and weekends seriously. Please sign it.

2. Please reply when you receive text messages or group messages (not including blessings from teachers). (Note: Since it is impossible to inform every childs school status by phone every week, we publish it in the group. I hope you can check it in your busy schedule.)

3. Keep the same attitude with the teacher, and the transfer of positive energy is beneficial to the growth of children.

4. Help your child develop a sense of "comparing yourself first, then competing with others".

Compare yourself first. Is first to see their own and school when they have progress, there is progress on the hard work, is worth celebrating!

Then compete with others. Everyones basis is different (knowledge, ability, intelligence, psychology, etc., are different, we should first recognize the gap between themselves and others) but because there is a gap, so, we should choose the target to catch up, competition, and should not be blindly complaining. This will only discourage childrens ambition and enterprising initiative!

Fourth, I hope you can tell us the good suggestion, or tell the FAMILY committee.

Thanks again for your understanding, support and cooperation with me, the school and the class! Thank you, respected parents and friends! Because of you, our work is done. Because of you, the children of colorful class have added a stroke of happiness and joy to their childhood life!

Hide and seek will be played by every child, which is my favorite game. I

like to find a quiet park and then play hide and seek with friends. The place is

big and we can hide in many corner. When my friends come close to me, I will be

nervous and hold my breath. The most exciting moment is found by other

persons.

Dear Mr. President,

亲爱的校长：

I am writing this letter to you to express my concern about the sports

facilities on campus. I have noticed that our university has very limited

resources in terms of opportunities to participate in sports, especially given

that the number of students on campus is increasing every year.

我写这封信是向你反映我对我们学校运动设施的关心。我发现就参加体育锻炼的机会来说我们学校的资源是有限的，特别是每年学生的数量在不断增加。

As we both know, sports are very important for the sound growth of young

people. If they have access to quality sports facilities, young people are able

to choose a healthier lifestyle, to boost self-esteem and confidence, and to

build a positive outlook and sense of achievement.

我们都知道，运动对年轻人的成长很重要。如果他们可以利用运动设施，年轻人就可以选择一种更健康的生活方式，从而提高自尊和自信，建立一种乐观的态度和成就感。

My proposal is to build a new sports area. It should be designed with

soccer players, basketball players, and ping-pong players in mind. It should

have a different section for each activity and be available to students all year

round. I believe such facilities will meet our sporting needs.

我的建议是建立一个新的运动场。它应该设计有足球场，篮球场和乒乓球场。每个活动都应该有一个不同的区域，学生全年都可以进行运动。我相信，这些设施将满足我们的体育需求。

Thank you for your reading this letter.

感谢您阅读这封信。

Yours faithfully,

Li Ming

Dear Xiao Wang,

I am delighted to know that you will be able to visit me for a week during

the National Day holiday. I am looking forward to your visit and to the

opportunity to catch up. Welcome to my home in Nanjing!

As you know, Nanjing has many places of interest to see, to discover, and

to enjoy. Among its historical sites are stone city wall, the Confucius Temple

with its magnificent night view, and Dr. Sun Yetsens Mausoleum. With all its

universities, Nanjing is a cultural center, offering an abundance of artistic

and musical performances. Its also a city of beautiful gardens and parks, such

as the Xuanwu Lake Park. With all these features, we will have a fun-filled

week, especially that in early-October, there are many sunny and mild days for

outdoor activities. So, I would suggest visiting these places first, and

deciding on the others as our week develops.

Finally, since at this time of the year the weather gets a little chilly in

the evening, I would suggest that you bring some warm clothing with you. Also,

as there will be crowds of people at the stations and on the trains, you need to

be very careful with your belongings!

Best wishes for a pleasant journey!

Yours,

Zhang Ying

There are many clocks in the Browns house. They are in different rooms.A

big clock stands in a corner of the sitting room. It is a very, very old clock,

but it still keeps good time. Mr. Brown winds it once a week.
