英语一封信作文(推荐20篇)

As the new semester is coming, I feel so excited. It will be my last year

in primary school, so I cherish every moment with my friends. I have made up my

mind to study hard, so that I can be competitive for the better middle school.

My friends and I have also planned to go camping and we so are so looking

forward to it.

I have studied very hard just to realize my future dream. I want to make a

lot of money and make my parents live the comfortable life. They have sacrificed

so much for me, so I really want to return them. The biggest dream for me is to

travel around the world. I am so crazy about the diversity of the world, so I

want to see its beauty. This is the ideal life for me.

My Darling McGeorge

You said that things seemed clearer when they were written down. Well, here

with a very boring letter in which I will try to put everything down so that you

may read and re-read it at a horror at your folly in getting involved with

me.

Deep breath. To begin with ,I love you. With a depth and passion and I have

felt for no one else in this life. And if it is astonishes you, it astonished me

as well. Not, I hasten to say, because you are not worth loving. Far from it.

Its just that, first of all,I swore I would not get involved with another

woman. Secondly, I have never had such a feeling before and it is almost

frightening. Thirdly, I would never have thought it possible that another human

being could occupy my waking and sleeping thoughts to the exclusion of almost

everything else. Fourthly, I never thought that even if one was in love one

could get so completely besotted with another person so that a minute away from

them felt like a thousand years. Fifthly, I never hoped,aspired, dreamed that

one can find everything one wanted in one person.

I was not such an idiot as to believe this was possible. Yet in you I have

found everything I want: youre beautiful, gay, giving, gentle, idiotically and

deliciously feminine, sexy, wonderfully intelligent and wonderfully silly as

well. I want nothing else in this life than to be with you, to listen and watch

you, your beautiful voice, your beauty, to argue with you, to laugh with you, to

show you things, to share things with you, to explore your magnificent mind, to

explore your wonderful body, to help you, protect you, serve you ,and...bash you

on the head when I think you are wrong...

Not to put too fine a point on it, I consider that I am the only man

outside mythology to have found crock of gold at the rainbows end. But, having

said all that, let us consider things in details. Dont let this become public,

but, well...I have one or two faults. Minor ones,I hasten to say. For example I

am inclined to be overbearing. I do it for the best possible motives, all

tyrants say that, but I do tend, without thinking, to treat people underfoot.

You must tell me when Im doing it to you, my sweet, because it can be a very

bad thing in a marriage.

Right, the second blemish. This actually is not so much a blemish of

character as a blemish of circumstance. Darling, I want you to be you on your

own right, and I will do everything I can to help you in this. But you must take

into consideration that I am also me in my own right. And that I have a head

start on you. What Im trying to say is that you must not feel offended if you

are sometimes treated simply as my wife. Always remember that what you lose on

the swings you gain on the roundabouts. But i am an established ‘creature’ in

the world, and so on occasions you will have to live in my shadow. Nothing gives

me less pressure than this. But it is a fact of life that has to be faced.

Third, a very important and nasty, blemish. Jealousy. I dont think you

know what jealousy is, thank god, in the real sense of the word. I know that you

have felt jealousy over Lincolns wife and child, but this is what I call normal

jealousy, and this to my regret, is not what Ive got. What I have got is a

black monster and any goodness that I have in my make-up. It is really a Jekyll

and Hyde situation... my Hyde is stronger than my good sense and defeats me,

hard though I try. As I told you, I have always known that this lurks within me,

but I could control it, and my monster slumbered and nothing happened to awake

it. Then I met you and I felt my monster stir and become half-awake when you

told me of Lincoln and others you have known, would you like to end with your

letter my monster came out of its lair, black, irrational, bigoted, stupid,

evil, malevolent. You never know how terribly corrosive jealousy is; It is a

physical pain as though you have swallowed acid or red hot coals. It is the most

terrible of feelings. But you cant help it at least I cant and god knows Ive

tried. I dont want any ex-boyfriends sitting in church when I marry you. On our

wedding day I want nothing but happiness both for you and me, but I know I wont

be happy if there is a church full of your ex-conquests. When I marry you I will

have no past, only a future. I dont want to drag my past into our future and I

dont want you to do it, either. Remember I am jealous of you because I love

you. You are never jealous of something you dont care about.

Okay enough about jealousy. Now let me tell you something. I have seen a

thousand sunsets and sunrises, in a thousand sunsets and sunrises on land where

it floods forest mountains with honey-coloured light, at sea where it rises and

sets like a blood orange in a multi-coloured nest of cloud, slipping in and out

of the vast ocean. I have seen thousand moons. Harvest moon is like gold coins,

winter moons as white as ice chips, new moons like baby swans feathers. I have

seen seas as smooth as if painted, coloured like shot silk or blues as a

kingfisher or transparent as glass or black and crumpled with foam, moving

ponderously and murderously. I have felt winds straight from the south pole,

bleak and wailing like a lost child; Winds as tender and warm as a lovers

breath; Winds that carried the astringent smell of salt and the death of

seaweeds; Winds during the moist rich smell of a forest floor, the smell of a

million flowers. Fierce winds that churned and moved the sea like yeast, or

winds that made the waters lap at the shore like a kitten. Ive known silence:

the cold, earthy silence at the bottom of a newly dug well; The implacable stony

silence of a deep cave; The hot, drugged midday silence when everything is

everything is hypnotized and still moved into silence by the eye of the sun. The

silence when great music ends. Ive heard that summer cicadas cry so that the

sound seems stitched into your bones. Ive heard a tree frogs in an

orchestration as complicated as Bach singing in a forest lit by a million

emerald fireflies. Ive heard the Keas calling over the grey glaciers that

groaned to themselves like old people as they inched. Their way to the sea. Ive

heard the hoarse street vendor cries of the mating Fur seals as they sang to

their sleek golden wives, the crisp staccato admonishment of the rattlesnake,

make the cobweb squeak of the Bat and the belling roar of the red deer knee-deep

in purple heather. Ive heard wolves baying at a winters moon, read howlers

making the forest vibrate with their roaring cries. Ive heard the squeak, purr

and grunt of a hundred multi-coloured reef fishes. I’ve seen hamming birds

flashing like opals round a tree of scarlets blooms, humming like a top. I have

seen flying fish skittering like quicksilver across the blue waves, drawing

silver lines on the surface with their tails. Ive seen Spoonbills flying home

to roost like a scarlet banner crossed the sky. Ive seen Whales, black as tar,

cushioned on a cornflower blue sea,creating a Versailles of fountain with their

breath. I have watched butterflies emerge and sit, trembling, while the sun

irons their wings smooth. I watch tigers, like flames, mating in the long grass.

I have been dive -bombed by an angry Raven, black and glossy as the Devils

hoof. Ive lain in water warm as milk, soft as silk, while around me played a

host of Dolphins. I have met a thousand animals and see a thousand wonderful

things.

All this I did without you. This was my loss. All this I want to do with

you. This will be my gain. All this I would gladly have forgone for the sake of

one minute of your company, for your love, your voice, your eyes, hair, lips,

body, and above all for your sweet, ever surprising mind which is an enchanting

quarry, in which it is my privilege to delve.

Dear Haiqing,

I hear you are very unhappy these days because your parents can’t afford to buy you some brand-name shoes and garments you like very much. And I write you this letter to share with you what I think about this matter.

To begin with, beauty is just skin deep. Don’t you think it silly to pay so much attention to your appearance? He is a shallow person who judges others by their appearance; in the same sense, he is a shallow person who thinks that a brand-name garment can add to his glamour. So please, just forget about those brand-name things. What really matters is not whether you wear brand-name shoes or garments but whether your clothes fit you. As a student, you have to wear the school uniform on the weekdays and to be honest, you look very smart in it. Then why do you have to bother to buy the expensive brand-name things?

Secondly, I know your parents are both average workers. Hard as they work, they don’t earn much. Despite this, they do their best to give you a lot of things on demand. Look at the callus on their hands and wrinkles on their faces, how can you have the heart to ask for more than they can afford, which will surely break their hearts? Remember, parents don’t owe us expensive summer camps; they don’t owe us Sony Walkman; nor do they owe us Nike shoes, If you really want those fancy things, you should take a part-time job to contribute to their purchase rather than ask your parents for money to add to their already heavy burden. Don’t you think so?

Thirdly, we have such a wide variety of things available these days which are both nice and inexpensive. What’s the point of paying much more for those brand-name things that are not much better? My friend, take my advice, and you’ll be a wiser consumer as well as a more considerate child to your parents.

Poverty, sometimes, is a good thing. It can test a person’s character and it makes a man out of a boy faster than anything else. Keep working hard, and you are bound to be able to afford those things in the near future. Now you may as well focus on your study. Anyway, wouldn’t it be funny for a would-be achiever to be so preoccupied with brand-name things all day long?

Keep in touch.

Yours

亲爱的海青,

我听说你现在很不高兴因为你的父母买不起你一些名牌鞋和你非常喜欢的衣服。我给你写这封信与你分享我的想法。

首先,美丽只是表面的。你不觉得这么多关注你的外表很愚蠢吗?他一个肤浅的人通过他们的外表来判断他人;在同样的意义上,他是一个肤浅的人认为名牌衣服可以添加到他的魅力。所以,请忘记那些名牌的东西。真正重要的不在于你穿名牌鞋子或衣服但你的衣服是否适合你。作为一名学生,你必须穿校服在工作日,老实说,你看起来非常聪明。然后你为什么要费心去买昂贵的名牌的东西?

其次,我知道你的父母都是普通工人。他们努力工作,也挣不了多少钱。尽管如此,他们尽自己最大的努力给你很多东西。看看愈伤组织手上和脸上的皱纹,你怎么能忍心要求超出他们的承受能力,这肯定会打破他们的心?记住,父母不欠我们昂贵的夏令营,他们不欠我们索尼随身听;他们也不欠我们耐克的鞋子,如果你真正想要的那些花哨的东西,你应该采取兼职工作有助于他们的购买,而不是向你的父母要钱增加了沉重的负担。难道你不这样认为吗?

第三,我们有各种各样的东西可用这些天既好又便宜的。有什么意义的付出更多的那些名牌的东西不是更好吗?我的朋友,听我的劝告,你会是一个明智的消费者,以及一个更体贴的孩子你的父母。

贫困,有时候,是一件好事。它可以测试一个人的性格,速度比什么都快。继续努力,你一定会在不久的将来能够买得起这些东西。现在你可以专注于你的学习。无论如何,一个潜在成功者，整天专注于名牌的东西不是很有趣的呢

保持联系。

你的

The first snow in this winter is beautiful!

Dear Mr.Shakespeare ,

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude. i am referring to that

unfortunate accident the other day , when I was hit by taxi.

If it had not been for your timely assistance in giving me first aid , I

felt that the consequences might have much more serious. Everyone agrees that it

was your quick-witted response in that emergency that has led to this

satisfactory outcome.

Although more and more people today talk about the need to be unselfish ,

we see very few people pracice what they preach. If there were more people like

you , this world would be a much nicer place.

Yours sincerely ,

尊敬的莎士比亚先生：

我写信是为了表达我衷心的感谢。我指的是那天我被出租车撞到的不幸事故。

当时如果不是那您及时伸出援手对我进行急救，恐怕后果会更严重。大家一致认为，正是您在那种紧急的情况下的机敏反应才带来这令人满意的结果。

尽管现在越来越多的人谈论无私的必要性，但是我们看到很少有人言行一致。如果有更多像您一样，这个世界将会更加美好。

您真诚的，

Our art teacher is not too young and not too old .He has black hair two big

and black eyes， a small nose and a big mouth .Look， he is wearing a blue and

white jacket ，a blue hat ，brown pants and a pair of old shoes. He is very funny.

He is a good art teacher. We all like him.

Do you know what is the most precious and everlasting thing in the world?

Money? You may lose everything you have if you dont use money careful

enough.Youth?In ones long life youth is like a flash in the pan and no one in

the world has the secret to keep his youth forever. Beautiful look? Many people

pray that they can get hold of beauty, but it disappears far more quickly than

they can imagine. And when they are in real trouble beauty itself feels

helpless. A good job? As you grow older and your brain and hands cant work as

fast as before. It will become other peoples wealth.

Then what is the most precious and everlasting thing in the world?

When you are far away from your family and feel especially lonely, who will

you think of? When you stand on the crossroad in your life and dont know which

way to choose, who will you think of? When you encounter greater difficulties

than ever and need others encouragement, who will you think of? When you decide

to make the greatest decision in your favorite course, which shed cheerful tears

when see you get achievements? Whose wholehearted blessing will be always with

you no matter how far you will go?

Yes, its mother who you will always think of and its mothers love that

will be always be with you.

I once heard a moving story about a mother. Two children were drawn into

the flood and the situation was very dangerous. Their mother jumped into the

water without hesitation. But the mother couldnt swim at all. Jumping into the

water means she might lose her life. But at that time she had no time to think

about herself. She just wanted to try all means to save her children. Maybe her

courage touched the God. The miracle happened. She finally succeeded in saving

her both children. And she, of course, felt extremely exhausted.

My friends, mother’s love is the greatest love. Mother’s love is the safest

love. No matter you are happy or depressed, rich or poor, mother’s love will

always stay with you.

Dear Ms. Fu,

亲爱的付老师，

I would like you to know that I appreciate the help and support you gave to

me when I was in junior high school. I enjoyed being taught by you immensely.

You are an excellent teacher and inspired me to continue learning with an open

and positive mind.

我想让您知道我非常感激在我上初中的时候你给予的帮助和支持。我非常喜欢你做我的老师。你是一个优秀的教师，鼓励我以开放和积极的态度继续学习。

I would like to convey my heartfelt gratitude to you for teaching me what

is responsibility. You helped me how to find the best place for myself and look

for the personal values. I remember you gave me a book as a present of the

Spring Festival. You are the first teacher who gave me a present which I was

moved for a long time.

我衷心的感谢你教会了我什么是责任。你帮我找到最适合自己的位置并和个人价值。我记得你曾给我一本书作为春节的礼物。你是第一个给我礼物的老师，这让我感动了很久。

I would further say that you gave me so good memories that I wish I could

go back to that time again. It was you who encouraged me to overcome obstacles.

It was you who cared about my emotions. I appreciate all you have done for me,

which meant so much to me. I hope that this letter brings my best wishes to you

and I once again thank you for giving me those precious memories of my life,

which I shall cherish forever.

我还想说你给了我这么美好的回忆，我希望我能再次回到那个时候。是你鼓励我克服困难。是你关心我的情绪。我很感激你为我所做的一切，这对我来说是很重要的。我希望这封信能给你带去我最好的祝福，我再次感谢你给我的生活带来那些珍贵的回忆，我会永远珍惜它的。

Sincerely yours,

Dear Editor,

I’m a builder. When other builders and I laid a foundation of a building,

we dug out some ancient cultural relics.

At that time, some people suggested we sell them so that we could get some

money. But I didn’t agree with them because I think these cultural relics are

our country’s wealth.

As Chinese people, we should protect them. So I told the other builders we

shouldn’t sell them, because cultural relics represent a country’s culture and

history. Besides, we should donate these culture relics to our country in case

they might be sold abroad secretly. We shouldn’t lose them.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

Everybody knows that people often wrote stories for fun, but this story

tells how a little boy hates writing stories, but he then learned a valuable

lesson on a dangerous adventure.

Once, there was a boy called Moni, Moni was a very cute little boy, and was

always proud to show off at some time. Moni’s mother loved baking pies, but she

always scolded Moni for eating them without her permission.

One day his mother said that he was old enough to write stories. Moni had

no idea what the word story means, but mother said, “It is to write interesting

tales of children who goes on adventures.” She said to Moni. Moni always thought

that playing was fun, but he also heard her say that writing stories was more

fun. But as he began to first word of his story, he began to feel bored. “This

is no fun!” he cried, “It is even more bored than going to school and learn

lessons!”

Moni did not like writing stories, but his mother waited until he had

finished his first story; then she will let him go outside and play. It all

happened that Moni knew every secret about the house; he could easily find

another way out. And so he ran up to the attic, and started to crawl out between

two logs. Moni got out, and saw a beautiful pine tree; He climbed up, made a

platform, and started to feast upon the fruits.

Moni was having such a great time, that he had no idea that a pond was

nearby; and he had no idea, that there was a crocodile down waiting for him to

come down so that he could feast upon Moni.

Moni was eating the last few fruits, and then he got thirsty; so he looked

down, then he found the crocodile. Moni had no choice but to cry out for help.

“Help!” he cried, “Help!” Moni’s mother heard his cries, and ran out into the

garden. There, she saw the crocodile; and Moni up in the tree. “Hold on, there

Moni!” she cried, “I shall save you!” She ran inside the house, she used a

stick, and killed the crocodile as he was looking up. And then Moni got down

from the tree, and confessed his fault.

When he got back to his room, he began to write stories; he figured that it

as much more fun to write stories, than it is to be free. Of course, he wrote

the adventure he had, and how his mom saved him. And you could probably guess,

that the 《Three Little Pigs》is a story that he wrote. And he was soon known as

the great writer, “Moni Frank”.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I’m Li Hua from Class One, Senior Two. As far as I am concerned, I believe

to teach English for pupils from Chen Xi Hope School will be good for both the

primary-school students and high-school student tutor, which thus will result in

substantial social benefits.

I think I am qualified for being the pupils’ English coach, because I have

good character, being independent in life and proficient in English. That’s why

I apply for the position; I hope I can join the instructive activity.

My plan for coaching the pupils is to teach them by listening, speaking,

reading and writing. What’s more important is to stimulate their interests in

learning English as a foreign language, creating a good learning environment. I

hope you can offer the opportunity.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

After a few hours of resting, it was time to do some evening chores. Jack

grabbed his notebook and pen, he put on his glasses; and tried to concentrate

and read about his notes he had written before bed last night.

“Going to tree house, many books on the floor; open page dinosaur, made a

wish; arrived at time of dinosaurs. Open page frog lake creek, made a wish;

arrived at adventure frog lake creek,” “Who is going to believe allthese? Not my

mother, not my father, not my teacher Mrs. Waltson…” Only his little sister

Annie, she had gone with to the time of the dinosaurs, and frog lake creek…

Suddenly there was a “Bang, bang, bang!” on the door, “Who is there?” asked

Jack, his little sister Annie pushed open the door; and said, “Can you sleep?”

“Nope, of course not, I didn’t do my evening chores; and besides, who wants to

do chores now and then?” “Do you want to go to the magic tree house?” “No, it is

too late, and mother and father would probably be angry if they figured we

aren’t in bed.” “Well I’m going,” said Annie, “All right,” answered Jack in a

sudden. He put on his jeans, and sweater, and then rushed out down stairs. Annie

came out with a flashlight; she shined it bright in Jack’s face, “Boo!” Jack was

scared, “Gotcha! Ha!” Jack was angry, “Annie, stop messing around;” “Okay, fine!

Ugh!” then Annie clipped the flashlight onto her belt.

Jack took another flashlight, then they tip-toed down stairs; when they

arrived, Jack said, “I don’t know Annie; i-i-i-i-t looks a bit scary and

dangerous…” “Oh come on scary cat! It’s just a tree house, do you want to see

the magic person and the golden medal or not!?” “Medallion, not medal;” said

Jack quietly. “Whatever, let us go and see what the golden medal looks like;

come on!” “Medallion!” said Jack, “And what if the magic person was not nice?!”

“You are such a scary cat; at least you get to take the gold medal as a reward

of you bravery.”

“Medallion!!” shouted Jack for the third time, “Come on, I know you are

caught up with this so called ‘Medallion’ thingy, let’s just go! Don’t waste

time!” after saying that, Annie climbed up the ladder all the way to the top of

the tree house; “Annie! No!” shouted Jack, but he was too late; Annie already

climbed up, Jack had no choice; he climbed up too, and when he arrived he found

the floor all covered with books, “let us make another wish so that we could

have another adventure!” “No!” cried Jack, “Well I’m going!” shouted Annie, he

found a page with a knight, she pointed to the picture; and within a second they

were surrounded by knights; “Oh no,” thought Jack.

Dear teachers

Hello! Here, on behalf of the kindergarten, I would like to extend new

years greetings and high respect to all the hardworking staff!

Although I didnt go through every day of the year with you, my eyes and my

heart have always been paying attention to the good times along the way. With my

eyes, I will take you to review the fragments in the deep memory. Lets comb the

pictures that shake our hearts and find the footprints of our colleagues growing

together!

Spring is the spring of sowing hope. Just experienced the re evaluation

work of provincial kindergarten, every colleague has experienced a

transformation like "Phoenix Nirvana", and the power brought by this is like a

hibernating and waking small animal, stretching endless power.

"Standardized and colorful kindergarten life" enables children to fully

feel the real happiness of preschool life; "happy body intelligence" activity

makes childrens body stronger, and makes a seed of love of sports quietly take

root in the hearts of every teacher and child; We are committed to building a

home co education system, inviting parents into the classroom activities,

attracting parents to our side and becoming our indispensable educational

partners; the humorous foreign English teachers bring us different thinking and

different feelings, and also expand our international career infinitely. "Green

poplar smoke outside the light, red apricot branches spring."

In this beautiful spring, we sow love and hope!

Dear Mr. Cao

Hello!

First of all, I wish you all the best in the new year. After such a long

holiday, where are you going to play? We went out on a big cruise ship. The

cruise ship is like a small city with everything! Im very excited! I brought a

book "understanding Chinese traditional festivals" on my journey. This book

makes me really understand the meaning of the Spring Festival. Let me also tell

you about it to Mr. Cao!

This book is full of rich cultural atmosphere. The text interprets the text

with pictures and notes each other. It vividly shows the general situation,

origin, celebration activities and various folk customs of traditional Chinese

festivals such as the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival and the Dragon Boat

Festival. Let more Chinese people have an in-depth understanding of their own

traditional festivals, and also open a window to the folk customs for foreign

friends who want to understand the ancient Chinese culture.

It introduces why the Spring Festival is called "Chinese New Year"? Why do

you eat Zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival? How is "qiqiqiaoqiao" going on?

In this book, the author uses pictures and stories to uncover the mystery

for readers. This is not only a pleasant reading, but also a kind trip back to

folk customs.

I see that the Spring Festival, Tomb Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival,

Mid Autumn Festival and other traditional festivals add endless fun to peoples

lives. But how much do you know about the stories behind these festivals? Dont

worry. Now open this book and follow the two lovely children in the book to

start this rare journey of looking back on traditional folk festivals. This book

introduces what are the traditional Chinese festivals? What is the history? And

so on. There are pictures at the bottom of each paragraph. There will be a few

children talking about other customs below. They look vivid and interesting, but

they are good-looking. Let me tell you something about it. There are many

introductions about the Spring Festival in the book, such as: the Spring

Festival in the traditional sense refers to the twelfth lunar month On the

eighth day of the eighth day of the lunar month or the third day of the twelfth

lunar month, the sacrificial stoves lasted until the fifteenth day of the first

month, with new years Eve and the first day of the first month as the climax.

The first day of the first month is the first day of the year, also known as

lunar new year. The word Spring Festival has different special meanings in

different historical periods. It is said that in ancient times, there was a

monster called Nian. It changed from eating insects to eating big living people.

Therefore, people in the village were very afraid of it. Every winter, when food

was scarce in the mountains, Nian would intrude into the village and hunt for

people and livestock. People were always in panic. Later, people all know that

Nian is most afraid of red, fire and noise, so the family will paste couplets on

the door, so Nian dare not come! Ha ha, isnt it very attractive to you!

This book is really recommended. I cant get tired of reading every page.

Its so interesting. I know so much about customs and culture, and its even

more fascinating because there are illustrations and texts. Youll love it, Miss

Cao!

OK, thats it!

Best wishes

Good health and family happiness
