世界上有一种爱，平凡而伟大。这种无私而伟大的爱就是母爱。母爱在我们需要帮助的时候出现，在我们需要关怀的时候出现，母爱每时每刻都在我们身边，所以，我们应该感恩母爱。

母亲一次又一次地关心着我们、呵护着我们。记得有一次，我生病了，十分严重，爸爸又去上班了，没有办法开车送我去医院。这是外面下着倾盆大雨，只有我和妈妈两个人在家。妈妈联系了爸爸之后确定爸爸没有办法回来，就背着我来到了医院，到了医院妈妈一刻都没有停下来，一会儿给我挂号，一会儿喂我吃药，一会儿又给我倒水……我坐在一旁，却帮不上什么忙，还要给妈妈添麻烦，真的觉得很愧疚。慢慢地我睡着了，等我再次醒来的时候，已经是第二天早上了。睁开眼睛看到的就是妈妈忙碌的身影，我轻轻地叫了她一生，妈妈转过头来，我看到她眼睛里充满了血丝，一看就是一夜都没有睡……

母爱就像一堵墙，为我们遮风挡雨。我的妈妈一夜没睡这是为了什么？都是为了我呀！母亲们的无私奉献，都是为了让我们这些小树苗茁壮成长。母亲用充满爱的双手，抚摸着我们，鼓励着我们飞向湛蓝的天空，去触碰那些洁白柔软的云朵。母亲是我人生的第一个老师，她在我遇到难题时出现，帮助我解决问题，日复一日，耐心细致。

妈妈，谢谢您，我一定会报答您的！

December 25th is Christmas day, my mother tells me: Christmas is not a traditional Chinese festival, it is the biggest festival in western countries in a year, which is equivalent to the Spring Festival in China.

Coming to the street, everyone feels the atmosphere of the festival. Almost all the stores have Christmas trees, some in the doorway, and some in the hall. The Christmas tree pyramid, wearing a green dress, wearing a small bell, jingle bells, a gentle touch, a beautiful voice; golden light, like the blinking stars; small lantern flashing, riotous with colour, very beautiful!

Look! The bank stood a door on the high ropes "snow doll". Wearing a blue hat, wearing a blue vest, gloves and shoes are blue, chubby face, curved eyebrows, round eyes, like two bright purple grapes, pointy nose, orange, triangular, and the smile is so cute! My little sister yo couldnt help stretch her chubby little hand, holding the snow doll, but also the tender sound Nenqi said: "hello! Hello! "

However, the most striking is the yidie shopping hall side, a beautiful picture of a big table with a white foam show, seems to tell the story of a fairy tale: in a beautiful red house, the seven dwarfs happy life together. On Christmas day, they bounce ran out of the house, snowball, snowball fights, snowmen in the snow...... Three, decorate the Christmas tree, which has a height of about four meters, wearing a golden coat, covered in studded sapphire, dazzling. At this time, only listen to the clatter, clatter... From far closer, the Santa Claus is full of gifts, and they dance with joy.

A lot of people in this photo, I was no exception, accidentally also get covered in snow"!

Recently, I read a great book,Childhood,which is written byGorky. It’s a novel based on the experiences of the author’s tragic childhood, telling the stories about the author between his three to ten years old. Aliocha has a bad childhood. His father and mother die in his early ages, so that he has to live with his great-grandparents. His great-grandfather is bad tempered and his uncles hate him very much. Great-grandmother is the only person who cherished him. Besides, Aliocha also feel the pureness, friendship by his playmates. Through this book, we can see a poor, ugly society, but we also can see an adamant, compassionate little child who constantly pursuits of good things in life. It’s hard to imagine how he can stick to the faith of life in such bad environment. As for us, we live in a much better environment; of course we should cherish our happiness and be strong to face difficulties in life.

The empty dam below my home was clean and tidy, and now the empty dam is full of rubbish, especially on rainy days, polluted water, and pedestrians passing by. The other people, because of the strength of the power, threw the garbage just hanging on the tree, ugly dead.

Im going to talk to the grown-ups. Theyre not talking to me. What are the kids doing? And drove me out. After I was driven out, I thought to myself, "this cant work. I can go to the neighborhood committee." So I went to the neighborhood committee. When I arrived at the neighborhood committee, I said to an aunt, "aunt, I want to reflect that someone in this building is littering." Aunt kind of say: "kid, the things we already know, one building will see you in a few days to clean the residents of the building to education, by the way you, you are quick to go home." I had to go home and wait for someone to clean. A few days later, we actually saw someone to clean, clean the people of the whole building up and down, left and right, fringes sweep of very clean, after finished, clean people will start all the residents of education building (including me), finished her education and clean people have left. After I passed this, I never saw him/them littering.

I suggest that we really want to protect the environment, because it is peoples responsibility to protect the environment. If people do get it right, we can have a good home.

关于成功的英语作文1：

Different people have different views on success.Some hold that making a great deal of money means success.Others argue that holding an important post in the government means success.Still others believe that having a high academic title at a famous university or a research institute means success. In my opinion,success means brilliant achievement in our work.In other words,no matter what we do,making outstanding contributions to the development of our country and bringing help and happiness to others is success. To achieve success,we should,first of all,have a clear long-term goal in our life.Besides,we should have short term goals in different periods of life.As we know,it is these short term goals that make our long-term goal possible.Second,we should be both perseverant and hardworking.Whatever we do,there are always two possibilities:success and failure.We should never lose heart when we come across difficulties or when we are confronted with failure.Instead,we should learn from our experience,build up our confidence and work even harder and smarter towards our purpose.Third,we should follow the examples of those who are successful and learn from them.Finally,we should try to get along well with our classmates and colleagues.We should care for each other and help each other in our study,our work and our life,because team work is of great importance in the realization of our dream. If we can follow these principles,we will certainly achieve remarkable success in our life. 关于成功的英语作文2：

Every body wants to succeed. But when it comes to the question that which factor leads to success, opportunity or hard-work, different people will offer different answers. Some people think that opportunity is the first factor leading to success. They hold the idea, as a proverb saying, “Man proposes, god disposes”. Because almost all successful people have good luck and have caught their valuable opportunities, they believe that opportunity is a leading conndition of the success. If seizes and makes the best use of opportunity available, one can succeed surely. In summary, to them, chances and lucks play the most important role on the road to success. However, others maintain that “no pains, no gains” .Without exerting oneself, one could never expect to achieve success in no matter what one is doing. As is known to all, there is no royal road to the summit of success. One is likely to succeed only when one has worked with whole-hearted devotion and perseverance. Those who are lazy, sloppy and indifferent to their work, those who never concentrate on work will definitely end in failure. On the whole, as far as they are concerned, hard-working is the decisive factor to success. In my view, both hard work and opportunity eventually matters. They are inseparable from each other, and put together, they make a great success. Hard work is to luck what fish is to water, and can be seen as an interior precondition of success. It lays the corner-stone for building a house while luck serves to cement it, to make the building bricks adherent to one another. They are the twins that contribute to success together. They are the factors from within and without respectively. We must work hard, make efforts and get prepared. When opportunities come, meet and make full use of them. Only in this way can we succeed one day.

老师们，同学们，大家好！这天，我演讲的题目是，孝心？孝道。

是谁教会了我们吖吖学语？

是谁用甘甜的乳汁辛苦地哺育我们？

又是谁将自我的年华飞逝换来了我们成长着的生命？

是父母！人们说：母爱如水，滋润生长；父爱如山，遮风挡雨。我觉得，父母对我们的爱就像一杯咖啡，静静地向周围弥漫特殊的芳香，它的味道稍带苦涩，而它的糖份却积存在杯底，只有喝到最后，才能品出它那香甜的滋味。

仔细回想，夏天那一盘甘爽的西瓜，冬天那一杯温热的牛奶，学习时那一句关心的问候，玩耍时那一声留意的叮咛……父母总是在暗处默默地做我们成长的基石，多少苦累，却从未说过一次。对于如此莫大的恩情，我们怎能不给予回报呢？

苏辙曾说：慈孝之心，人皆有之。还记得2004年感动中国人物田世国吗？田世国只是一名普通的工人，但他把自我生命的一部分回馈给病危的母亲。母亲的生命也许依然脆弱，但是孝子的爱已经坚如磐石。

古语道：百善孝为先，孝是人们与生俱来的品质。只但是，有些人的孝心被生活的飞尘所掩盖了。但是在我们同学中，不孝敬父母之事时常发生，有些同学厌烦父母的唠叨，常常与父母顶嘴，殊不知，那些唠叨满载着父母的爱；有些同学从未关怀过父母，把父母当成自我的金库，殊不知，爱不是无底洞；有些同学视父母的爱为理所当然，殊不知，父母也需要爱……这样的事时常发生，不由得令人心忧。乌鸦能反哺，羔羊会跪乳，而我们，新时代的中学生，难道真的不如乌鸦，不如羔羊吗？

答案当然是否定的，但却能引发我们的深思。孝心，并非是长大后才有的职责，也并非是用金钱就能弥补。孝心的终极奥义，就是爱。孝心其实很简单，比如，为家里清扫一次房间；为母亲倒一杯水；为父亲捶一次背……这是多么简单，但是同样是这些小事，却能让父母感动很久很久。孝不需要山珍海味，同样也不需要千万豪宅，也许你的孝心不豪华，只是一次5分的作业，一张100分的试卷。但是，我相信，父母必须会理解它，因为，那里满载着真诚的爱！这才是给予父母最好的礼物！

当然，我们要孝敬的不仅仅仅是父母，还有关心、疼爱我们的爷爷、奶奶、外公、外婆等人。对于他们我们同样也要敬孝心，讲孝道。

同学们，让我们从这天做起吧！让我们一齐努力，共同建筑心中永恒的爱的神殿，共同在繁忙的学习中，抽出一点时间，把孝心带回家，让父母，长辈们沐浴最温暖的爱的阳光！

我的演讲结束了，谢谢大家！

The cold winter is coming and the weather is getting colder. I also observed the change in winter.

In winter, the leaves falling down, like a butterfly with beautiful dancing light falling, withered grass mother as to the earth covered with a layer of soft and golden altar rugs, only have wintersweet flower defying cold standing on the tree brave facing the cold wind to their training like a mighty soldier standing in the team, keep training hard.

In the cold winter, people also change, people wear thick hats, wear soft gloves, wear long scarves and put on warm. A thick down jacket.

There are too many changes in winter!

I have a happy family. There are my father, my mother, my brother and I.

My father works a long way from home. And my mother is a housewife. My brother is a student who studies in the school.

In a word, my family is full of happiness.

俗语说“家和万事兴”，我常常也思考其中的“和”的意义所在。

应该理解为家道吧？所谓家道是治家之道，所谓治家之道就形成了家风，所谓家风则是一个家庭的精神风貌，它所体现的是一个家庭的文化素养，精神气息，生活习惯，行为言语等等质量的高低。因此可见，其"和"归根结底就是家风的好坏，好家风则万事兴。

小而言之，好家风撑门兴户；大而言之，好家风兴国安邦。

所以，良好的家风会传承中华优良的品质，可以为一方土地造就和谐稳定的社会风气。

我常常告诫孩子，在我们家有一个最为基本的家庭制约，就是勤劳，善良，正直，明辨是非，懂团结，知进取，重孝顺。

记得儿子跟我说：“妈妈，为什么我每天都要比别的孩子做的事多？我告诉他，你做得事多，说明你勤劳，勤劳就会有收获，这些收获将会让你比别人强大。”

与人为善方可与恶远之。与恶远之方能安宁顺景。上善若水，水利万物而不与争，因而决定了水的作用和价值，真善无敌！――水能利万物，水也能覆万物！

正直，是一个人用正确的思想决定正确的方法做出正确的事务，不能损人利己，更不能损人损己。正直所体现的是人格魅力。

我也常常对女儿讲，一个女子首先要明辨是非，不明辨是非胡搅蛮缠的都将是祸水。危害自己家庭的和谐，危害别人家庭的稳定，危害社会的安宁，因为女子是安定团结，息事宁人的重要环节。

一个家庭所建树的家风远不止这些。

在日常的生活中，孝道更可谓是一个家庭应该传承的精神，它维系着一个家庭几代人的安宁与幸福。因为，孝顺做在前，后尘会感知，会效仿。

团结是一个家庭的力量的源泉。首先父母要相亲相敬，父母相亲相敬，孩子才会有安全感。孩子有了安全感。团结就会滋生所有的正能量。如上阵父子兵，如手足兄弟情……这些人之常情会让人懂得珍惜与感恩！从而有效抵御一切外来的伤害与干扰。

知进取是促进一个家庭发展的重要途径。父母进取，则孩子独立，则孩子进取。进取就会不畏艰辛积极向上努力为家庭创造价值，向美好的明天挺进！

Inrecent years, tourism has been popular and played an important role in ournation’s economic growth. However, I am afraid that if tourism develops over,it will bring harm to the environment and give rise to many problems.

近年来，旅游业已经变得很流行，在我国经济发展中发挥了重要作用。然而，我害怕如果旅游业过度发展，它会给环境带来危害，并引发很多问题。

Thereare a few reasons accounting for my views and I would like to list three ofthem. One of the examples is that a large number of woods and other plants werereplaced by all kinds of accommodation facilities or scenic spots. Thatdefinitely breaks the ecological balance of these areas and destroys thenatural beauty of the scenic spots. Worse still, more pressure has been placedenvironment protection in that many tourists left their garbage in the scenicspots. In addition, over-developed tourism will occupy large numbers offarmland and lead to the shortage of the land.

我想列出其中三个可以解释我观点的几个理由。其中一个例子是大量的森林以及一些其他的植物被各种住宿设施或风景名胜区替代了。那肯定会打破这些地区的生态平衡，破坏风景名胜区的自然美。更糟的是，环境保护已经面临更大的压力了，因为许多游客在离开景点的时候把他们的垃圾丢在景点里。此外，过度开发旅游业会占用大量的耕地，导致土地短缺。

Ina word, tourism will be harmful to our environment if it is over development.Thus, I do not advocate that we development tourism without considering theenvironment. And we should keep the balance between tourism development andenvironment protection so that we can achieve the sustainable developmentbetween our nation’s economy and the environment.

总之，如果过度开发旅游业会对我们的环境有害。因此，我不同意在没考虑环境问题下就开发旅游业。我们应该保持旅游开发与环境保护之间的平衡，使我们能够在我们国家的经济和环境之间实现可持续发展。
