[中学生英文作文：我的快乐周末(My happy weekend)

父母的爱是坚强无私的。是父母给了我们生命，让我们快乐成长。现在，我们长大了，可以为父母解决问题，让他们笑着度过每一天。孝敬父母是我们的责任。所以，在我们的生活中，最应该感谢的是父母。父母为我们做了一切，为我们贡献了全部的精力。难道不应该为父母做点什么吗？

我们年轻的时候，懵懂幼稚。我们从一个稚嫩的萌萌逐渐成长为懂事的萌萌。那是因为父母在背后鼓励我们，支持我们，让我们茁壮成长。是父母的双手和他们对我们的爱让我们的生活丰富多彩。让我们对过去有无尽的回忆。当我们对父母无理取闹，照顾他们，让他们痛苦的时候，我们要想想是谁让我们快乐的成长。谁让我们健康成长？谁把我们带大的？是父母用辛勤的汗水把我们带大的。现在，我们已经长大了，我们应该能够辨别是非，为父母做点什么，把我们的能力贡献给他们。他们从小就一直在照顾我们。现在，我们可以用爱来回报他们，我们应该让父母减轻他们的负担。父母的一切就是我们，我们的一切就是父母，他们幸福，我们幸福。现在，要让父母开心的度过每一天，甚至每一分钟。

然而，在现实生活中，有些人残酷无情地爱着父母。能幸福生活的父母不多。有些人认为父母养育我们是他们的责任，我们孝敬不孝敬都无所谓，给他们钱花就行了，给他们吃的穿的暖就够了。但你有没有想过，钱不是万能的。金钱可以买到一切，但不能改变爱情。想要父母过得幸福，就要付出，而不仅仅是给钱。我们必须用实际行动来解释一切。照顾好父母，孝敬父母。怎么能用钱买到所有东西？

父母养育我们不是为了我们口袋里的钱，而是为了爱。爱情的力量是巨大的，没有什么值得的。只要我们用爱来孝敬父母，他们就会满意。

一个家庭只要有爱，就会幸福，家庭不会分裂。爱情的力量是不可抗拒的，世界会因为爱情而精彩美丽。父母爱我们，我们也爱父母，让他们每天都能幸福快乐，同时也会像他们一样幸福快乐。

他阳光开朗，品学皆优，助人为乐，诚实守信。他就是重孝尊亲的陈文龙同学。这是一个来自农村的孩子，从小就过着简朴的生活。虽然生活条件不如别人，但有父母和亲人的陪伴与关爱，他从未觉得自己比别人少了什么。在成长的过程中，他以孝当先，以敬为首，以德为本。他一直铭记《弟子规》中的“首孝悌，次谨性”这一句，并以这为座右铭，为他做人的标准！

陈文龙同学在班级里是一个热心肠的人，深受老师与同学们的喜爱。他每天帮同学们值日，关心班级，爱护校园，任劳任怨，从未有过一丝的抱怨。

他还积极参加学校的社团活动，多方面发展。他每月都向校文学社交付几篇优秀的作品。不仅如此，陈文龙还积极参加社会实践活动，去帮助环卫工人，和他们一起美化城市，保护环境；去帮助有困难的人，鼓励着他们继续前行；去社区中做义工，以自己有限的力量，带给他人最大的快乐！他经常吟诵汪国真的《蝶恋花》：“自古青春难驻，年少正好射虎，婉手婉风华，功就与君共驻。起舞，起舞，更有憧憬无数。”他有雷锋一样的善，他要用自己有限的青春，有限的生命助人为乐！

“孝”是我们中华民族的传统美德，《孝经》曾云：不爱其亲而爱他人者，谓之悖德，不敬其亲而敬他人者，谓之悖理。《论语》也说：“君与务本，本立而道生，孝悌着，其为人之本也 。”他不仅助人为乐，而且努力践行孝道。

去年秋天，他的爷爷突然患上脑溢血，病情严重，这对于他们整个家庭来说无疑是雪上加霜。爸爸为此也整日愁眉不展，整个家庭顿时少了平日里的欢笑。医生说如果恢复的好，还可以自理。这好比黑夜中出现一丝亮光，点亮了我们内心的希望。

所有重担全部落在爸爸身上，让他力不从心，这一切他都看在眼里，从心底里想帮爸爸分担一些，那一刻，一个少年内心已成为一个能担起责任的男子汉。每次妈妈做好饭，他都拿碗盛好给爷爷端过去。一口一口喂爷爷。为了不让饭撒到爷爷身上，在吃饭前在爷爷胸前围一条毛巾。他每天早上都给瘫痪在床的爷爷做手脚按摩，天气晴朗的时候，就用轮椅推爷爷到院子里沐浴阳光。半夜还要多次起来替爷爷翻身，每天如此，在他的精心的照料下，爷爷的胳膊竟可慢慢抬起，爷爷的脸上的笑容也逐渐多了起来，这让他看到了希望。此后，他每天坚持陪爷爷作康复训练，每天的运动量逐渐增加恢复效果也逐渐明显，一天，两天，三天……爷爷现在在他的搀扶下可以短距离，虽然爷爷迈步艰难，但在他的细心引导下每迈出一步，都高兴极了。

爷爷的康复之路也是陈文龙心路成长的历程，很难想象一个正叛逆的年龄可以放下一切顾虑去照顾年迈的爷爷，没有怨言，没有索求。为的就是弘扬孝道，应尽的责任，身体力行，以身示范。践行孝道，使“孝”深入人心。祖孙两人携手漫步在小路间，两个背影依偎在一起。他也成为村里的孝老爱亲的典范。

高中的假期，他为减轻父母的负担，准备勤工俭学。自己在超市找了一份工作。虽然家人，朋友对此很不理解，但他毅然而决然。没他认为自己是男子汉。但体力活对身体单薄的他是一次极大的考验。第一天的工作使他疲惫得站着都可以睡着。正值春节前夕，超市的工作量加大，他的工作也愈加忙了起来。甚至在大年三十，他都没有休假，坚守在工作的岗位上，这对他心中不免有些酸楚。不过在奋斗二十一天后，他终于拿到了人生中的第一笔酬金。他用这笔来之不易的打工钱给父母准备了一份礼物，来感谢父母多年无微不至的照顾，陪伴与呵护。

古人云：“百善孝为先”，孝敬父母是中华民族的传统美德。陈文龙用真诚的爱向我们诠释了血浓与水的亲情，用行动践行了中华传统美德——孝道。

There are a lot of my classmates, and the most helpful one of them is Xiao Zhang. Xiao Zhang has a square head, big eyes, and a tall man, a classmate who is willing to help others. He gave me the help, and I am still unforgettable.

Remember when I read the second grade, one day after school this afternoon, because just under the rain, the ground was very wet, I was carrying a heavy bag down the stairs, just want to walk to the front door, his home, only to go too fast, slipped and fell to the ground, feet also abducted to me; want to try to stand up, I can not stand up, also feel a leg pain hit, the pain I can not help but cry. At this time, Zhang just walk down the stairs, I saw the appearance of pain, she quickly came over and asked me: "Bo Zhe, how are you?" I said, "my... The legs are very... The pain. I... No, no... Its up. " Xiao Zhang listened, and immediately stretched out his hands to pull me up. But my schoolbag was too heavy. It was like a huge stone weighing on me. My buttocks were stuck to the ground. Xiao Zhang could not help me. So, he took my bag back to his own body, and called a few students to help me together, and finally helped me up. Zhang helped me and walked to the gate, walked to ask: "Bo Zhe, your legs still hurt? I went there to call your mother take you home!" Then, he asked me to sit down and rest, go to the front to call my mother. I was moved to tears and said, "thank you, Xiao Zhang!"

Xiao Zhang is such a helpful student, and I also have to learn the spirit of his help.

Somewhere along the line, the generation gap evaporated. Age separates us now and little else. We agree on most everything, perhaps because we’ve learned there isn’t much worth disagreeing about. However, I would like to mention that fly fishing isn’t all you’ve cracked it up to be, Dad. You can say what you want about wrist action and stance and blah, blah, blah...

I’ve been happily drifting for a lot of years, Dad, and I didn’t see you getting older.

I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine. Numbers never seemed important. But the oddest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn’t immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day. Or maybe I saw my own.

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!

Dear Sir,

I am highly disappointed in the proposed 2004-05 budget cuts to educa1ion.

Taking away basic aid status and slashing our school budgets is a recipe for

educational disaster in our school. The future lies with our children. They must

have access to high quality educa1ion.

My husband and I have worked hard to be able to live in a school district

that provides high quality education for our children. Cutting funding in

districts like ours will have a negative impact on property values.

The school that my daughter attends is hardly wha1 I would describe as a

"rich" school. Parents are asked to pay for books for all the classes, science

supplies and for their students to participate in the performing arts among

other items. If our school is to remain a world leader in technological

development, cutting our school funds is the worst possible choice to make.

Education funds should not be diverted away from education.

Yours faithfully,

Tom Williams

Dear Lily,

How is everything? I do not see you for a long time, and I miss you very much. So I write to you. I was very busy in the last month, because I have much homework to do. The final exam is coming, so I must work hard. Besides, I must learn piano very two days. It takes me some time, but I feel happy. These are my life in recent. And what’s yours? I am looking forward to your letter and tell me about your life.

Sincerely Yours,

Carla

People always say that spring is the most beautiful season. But I don’t

think so. I like summer, autumn even winter better than spring. Because the

weather in spring is changeable. Maybe it is warm today, it will be cold

tomorrow. I often catch a cold in spring. Besides this, it often rains in

spring. I can’t go out to play ball games. I have to stay at home to spend my

time. How boring it is! Some people think the flowers in spring are very

beautiful, but I think the flowers in winter are more beautiful, because they

live through the extremely cold weather and we should learn from them.

The Cobbler and the Banker

By La Fontaine

A cobbler passed his time in singing from morning till night;it was wonderful to see,wonderful to hear him;he was more contented in shoes,than was any of the seven sages.His neighbor,on the contrary,who was rolling in wealth,sung but little and slept less.He was a banker;when by chance he fell into a doze at day-break,the cobbler 12 awoke him with his song.The banker complained sadly that Providence had not made sleep a saleable commodity,like edibles or drinkables.

Having at length sent for the songster,he said to him,

"How much a year do you earn,Master Gregory?"

"How much a year,sir?"said the merry cobbler laughing,"I have reckon in that way,living as I do from one day to another;somehow I manage to reach the end of the year;each day brings its meal."

"Well then!How much a day do you earn,my friend?"

"Sometimes more,sometimes less;but the worst of it is,-and,without that our earnings would be very tolerable, a number of days occur in the year on which we are forbidden to work;and the curate,moreover,is constantly adding some new saint to the list.

The banker,laughing at his simplicity,said,"In the future I shall place you above want.Take this hundred crowns,preserve them carefully,and make use of them in time of need."

The cobbler fancied he beheld all the wealth which the earth had produced in the past century for the use of mankind.Returning home,he buried his money and his happiness at the same time,No more singin;he lost his voice,the moment he acquired that which is the source of so much grief.Sleep quitted his dwelling; and cares,suspicions,and false alarms took its place,All day,his eye wandered in the direction of his treasure;and at night,if some stray cat made a noise,the cat was robbing him.

At length the poor man ran to the house of his rich neighbor;"Give my back." said he,"sleep and my voice,and take your hundred crowns."

皮匠和银行家

拉.封丹

一个皮匠从早到晚在唱歌中度过。无论见到他本人或听见他的歌声都使人觉得很愉快。他对于制鞋工作比当上了希腊七圣还要满足。

于工作把他吵醒了。银行家郁郁寡欢地抱怨上帝没有睡眠也制成一种像食品或饮料那样可以买卖的商品。后来，银行家就叫人把这位 歌手请来，问道：“格列戈里师傅，你一年赚多少钱?”

“先生，你问我一年赚多少钱吗?”快乐的皮匠笑道：“我从来不算这笔帐，我是一天一天地过日子，总而言之坚持到年底，每天挣足三餐。”

“啊，朋友，那么你一天赚多少钱呢?”

“有时多一点，有时少一点;不过最糟糕的是一年中总有些日子不准我们做买卖，牧师又常常在圣徒名单上添新名字，否则我们的收入也还算不错的。”

银行家被皮匠的直率逗笑了，他说：“我要你从今以后不愁没钱用。这一百枚钱你拿去，小心放好，需要时拿来用吧。” 皮匠觉自己好像看到了过去几百年来大地为人类所需而制造出来的全部财富。他回到家中，埋藏好硬币，同时也埋葬了他的快乐。他不再唱歌了;从他得到这种痛苦的根源那一刻起，他的嗓子就哑了。睡眠与他分手;取而代之的却是担心、怀疑、虚惊。白天，他的 目光尽朝埋藏硬币的方向望;夜间，如果有只迷途的猫弄出一点声响，他就以为是有人来抢他的钱。最后，这个可怜的皮匠跑到他那富有的邻居家里说：“把你的一百枚钱拿回去，还我的睡眠和歌声来。”

[关于寒假计划的英文作文

人的一生之中，从小时候起，就领受了父母亲的养育之恩，等到上学，有老师的教育之恩，年纪大了之后，又免不了要接受晚辈的赡养照顾之恩，作文 -学会感恩。

记得在上次学校开感恩劢志教育会的时候，妈妈因为有事不能来到长沙就让外婆代替她来开报告会，我有一个十分超级的不好，因为外婆说的普通话很难听，连我都听不懂，所以就不想让外婆代替妈妈开报告会，可是这又是永远也改变不了的东西，我只好接受了这样一个我不想面对的事实了。

让我记忆犹新的一件事就是在会中的时候樊涛老师（中国感恩劢志教育会会员）跟我们说：孩子们跟你们坐在一起的人是你最亲的家人，有可能坐在你身旁的人是你爷爷、奶奶、外公、外婆，他们有可能连一首普普通通的歌都不会唱，更有可能连普通话都有不会说，但你们看看他们的手，粗糙又难看，你们想一想是什么原因导致他们的手这样的呢？就是为了你们这些孩子啊！她们永远愿意为你们做一些有利的事。

等报告会结束之后，我冷静地想了很久，心里很内疚，外婆虽然不会说普通话，可是为了我，她东奔西跑的都不觉得累，这种外婆还不好吗？，于是我发誓再也不埋怨外婆了。

在现实中，我还见到了一件我亲眼看见的事，有一个老太太，已经70多岁了，有三个儿子，三个儿子看老太太老了，就谁也不愿意去养，老太太一气之下，把三个儿子告上了法庭，小学四年级作文《作文 -学会感恩》。三个儿子被逼交上赡养费，可是钱在老太太眼中却不是最好的，她说，我只要三个儿子都回心转意，我想让他们回家。老太太的这句话打动了在场的许多人。

是啊！在现实生活中，像上文中的三个儿子的人还有许多许多，父母把他们抚养成人后，不仅不报答，还抛弃父母，完全不想父母以前怎么对他们的，只想自已过得好、吃得好、睡的好就行了，假如他们也像父母一样老了，自已的子女也像他们对待自已的父母一样对他们，那他们肯定会很后悔自已曾经做过对父母不对的事。

“感恩的心，感谢有你伴我一生，让我有勇气做我自已，感恩的心，感谢命运，花开花落，我一样会珍惜。”这首歌，使我明白没有阳光，就没有温暖，没有水源，就没有生命，没有父母就没有我们自已，没有亲情和友情，世界就会是一片孤独和黑暗，为了摆脱它，我们需要一颗感恩的心。

It was the second day of our summer holiday. I felt good. I felt Im free.

I had a lot of time to do things I like. My parents are in Beijing. So I live

alone but I dont feel lonely. But I didnt do something special. I stayed at

home and watched TV. Oh! I wrote an English daily composition. It was my

homework. Today, I have slept for 14 hours. I thought I was very tired. It was

time for dinner. I must go! I am very hungry.

I was so excited when i entered the college. For so many years, I worked hard to achieve this dream and finally i made it. Everything seemed fresh and curious to me. I was so pleased that I would enjoy my college life soon.

when i was in high school, I had to study all the time and hardly had spare time to do what i wanted to.Besides, I had to focus on my textbooks and doing exercise again and again. Therefore, I had little time to read magazines and novels and watch TV. what was worse, I couldnt play with my friends a lot, which I couldnt stand the most. In a word, all i did in high shool should be considered for the College Entrance Examination. dedecms.com

However, my college life is totally different from the life in high school.I can arrange my time freely. I spend most of my time reading in the library, where I can open my eyes and broaden my mind.In my free time, I also join some clubs,where i can make a lot of friends of different majors. My teachers in college are so kind and knowledgeable that they not only teach us knowledge but also how to be a person and how to get on with others. In addition, there are more opportunities for me to improve myself.

I believe college life is an important stage in my life. In college, i can learn how to learn by myself, how to get on with others, how to live independently.College provides me with a stage where i can show myself and be myself.

One possible version:

The problem of “white pollution” caused by used plastic is becoming increasingly serious, in which plastic shopping bags play an important role. In China about three billion plastic shopping bags are consumed every day, which results in a great waste of resources and heavy environmental pollution. Luckily, The government has put a nationwide ban on the use of free plastic bags, demanding that all stores and supermarkets not provide customers with free plastic bags after June 1. The rule will undoubtedly reduce the use of plastic bags and enhance the awareness of environmental protection. It is highly advocated that we should turn to cloth bags and shopping baskets from now on.

Summer can be very hot in southern Taiwan where the temperature usually

goes up to 32"C or more. Because of the heat it is a trying experience to go to

school or do anything else in a place that is not air-conditioned. Also because

of this I stay at home most of the time during the summer vacation and

occasionally go to the beach to plunge myself into the cool water as a way to

keep my body less sticky. Actually I like swimming think nothing is more

refreshing than a swim. In the summer vacation that has ended I went swimming

many times with my classmates we all had a good time. This summer vacation,

however, was not spent entirely in seeking fun. As a second-year senior student

I had to prepare myself for the college entrance examinations that were a year

away. In other words, I must find time to study, too. So I divided my time

between work play during the summer vacation derived benefit from this

arrangement.
