+ 加入清单let me begin my speech with a replay of scenes familiar to most, if not
all, of those present here today.
mum, im sorry, but i need 3,000 yuan for my tuition this year.
mum, it is my friends birthday tomorrow, i must buy her a present.
mum, this jacket was out of fashion long ago, would you do me a favor?
take. the relationship between a mother and a child always seems to follow
such a pattern.
i know my mother is always there for me, providing me with everything i
need; from food to clothing, from tuition to pocket money.
i never thought twice about all she did until one day she said, will there
be a time that youll say you have taken enough from me?
like a child endlessly asking, we humans, throughout history, have been
continually demanding what we desire from nature.
we enjoy the comfort and beauty of our furniture, yet we never bother to
think about the serious soil erosion caused by deforestation.
we take it for granted that we must warm ourselves in winter times, yet we
seldom realize the burning away of precious natural resources.
we appreciate all the prosperity from the development of modern industry,
yet few would give the slightest consideration to the global air and water
pollution caused by industrial wastes.
our ruthless exploitation has permanently impaired our mother earth.
as we tragically learned from last summers floods.
we cannot continue our carelessness.
finally, standing here at the threshold of the 21st century, we cannot help
thinking of our posterity.
nature is not only the mother of the present generation, but also the
mother of the generations to come.
how severely our descendents will criticize us if we leave them a barren
and lifeless mother? how much more they will appreciate us if we give them a
world of harmony to inherit? let us start respecting and caring for nature from
now on.
let us start the campaign of creating a mutually beneficial relationship
between people and nature right from this moment.
with this new start, i firmly believe, that our children, and our childrens
children will live in a brand new age of green trees, clean air, crystal water,
blue sky and an even more promising world!

+ 加入清单As you slowly open your eyes, look around , notice where the light comes
into your room; listen carefully, see if there are new sounds you can recognize;
feel with your body and spirit, and see if you can sense the freshness in the
air. Yes, yes, yes, it’s a new day, it’s a different day, and it’s a bright day!
And most importantly, it is a new beginning for your life, a beginning where you
are going to make new desicisions, take new actions, make new friends, and take
your life to a totally unprecedented level! You know all this is real as long as
you are confident,passionate and committed! And you are confident, you are
passionate, you are committed!
You will no longer fear making new sounds, showing new facial expressions,
using your body in new ways,approaching new people, and asking new questions.
You will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you will
show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take. You will
focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life. You
will never succumb to challenges of hardships. You will never waver in your
pursuit of excellence. After all,you are the best, and you deserve the best!
As your coach and friend, I can assure you the door to all the best things

must do your part, you must faithfully follow the plans you make and take the
actions you plan, you must never quit, you must never fear. I know you must do
it, you can do it, you will do it, and you will succeed!
Now stand firm and tall, make a fist, get excited, and yell it out: I must
do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed! I must do it! I can do it! I
will do it! I will succeed! I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will
succeed!

Kindly excuse me for my not being able to see you off at the airport this Saturday as I have promised.

I have just been informed of this plan and am happy about the decision—this is an opportunity to both display and enhance my abilities, so I am afraid I cannot be present at the airport.
Pursuing study overseas is an essential step in the accomplishment of your dream.

篇8:给英语老师的一封信
全文共 473 字
+ 加入清单您好!
我知道您担负着全校的英语课的教学任务,工作已经很忙了。但是为了让我们把英语学得更好,我想向您提几条建议,希望您能抽出一点儿时间看看我的这封信。
我非常喜欢英语。我觉得每个同学都应该好好学习英语。这也是以后我们更进一步学习的基础,为了让同学们对英语感兴趣,把英语学好,我有这样几点建议:
一、组织同学们搜集有关资料,共同讨论学习英语的重要性,让大家从思想上重视英语的学习。
二、利用节日、纪念日举办各种活动,来激发大家学习英语的热情。例如,组织大家排练英语节目,小短剧、歌曲、诗歌朗诵……既丰富了大家的课余生活,又锻炼了大家的英语表达能力,还能提高学习英语的兴趣,这不是一举多得的好事吗?
三、我建议其他各学科的老师也能掌握一些英语日常用语,师生见面,用英语打招呼,上课时,师生用英语互相问候。这样在学校里创设学英语用英语的环境,更有利于大家的学习。
我想,如果我们这样坚持下去,一定会有很大的收获的,英语水平也会有大幅度的提高。这样就会为我们以后中学的学习打下坚实的基础。我真心希望得到您的支持!
祝老师工作顺利!身体健康!

Hello! Is the body coming in well?
headmaster! Have you found any shortcomings in the school recently? At the
back of the school there is a trail to the outside of the school. Sometimes when
the last class is physical education, some people go back from there first; when
the school door is not open at noon, some students enter the school from there,
disturbing other students to take a nap.
headmaster! In the middle of the teaching building and the laboratory
building, there are two lawns. When spring and summer come, a lot of grass will
grow, making it impossible for people to play on it. headmaster! I suggest that
you turn those two lawns into lotus ponds with pavilions and paths. When the
students have finished a few classes, they are a little tired, so they can rest
on it; relax. In this way, you will have sufficient energy in class and listen
carefully.
Wish: Good health and smooth work!
Sincerely,
Your student:
尊敬的校长:
您好!进来的身体是否很好?
校长!最近您有没有发现学校不足的地方?在学校的后面有一条小道可同往学校外。在有时是最后一节课是体育课时,有人就从那儿先回去了;中午午睡时学校的大门还没有开,有些同学就从那儿进了学校,打扰别的同学午睡。
校长!在教学楼和实验楼的中间,有两块草坪。每当春夏季节来临时,就会长出许多的草,让人无法在上面嬉戏。校长!我建议您把那两块草坪修成荷花池,上面有亭子和小道。当同学们上完几节课时,有点累了,就可以在上面休息;放松一下心情。这样在上课就会有充分的精神,认真听讲。
祝:身体健康,工作顺利!

篇10:给防控疫情的白衣天使们写一封感谢信
全文共 541 字
+ 加入清单你们好!我是一名来自实验小学五二班的小学生。2020是注定会被记住的一年,病毒让我们宅在家中,也让你们奔赴了没有硝烟的战场。
就像春晚和元宵晚会上说的:“我们无法一一记住你们的名字,但你们白衣天使的名字不会有人忘记。”是的,是你们在一次又一次和死神抢人,是你们一次又一次和病魔斗争,是你们无所畏惧勇往直前跑赢时间。病毒来临时,我很慌。可一看新闻,看到你们都已经整装待发,恐惧顿时烟消云散。有你们在,我们坚定地相信一切都会好起来的。
我看到,为了方便穿防护服,很多女医生都剪去了一头长发;我看到,为了节省资源,你们常常好几个小时不换防护服;我看到,为了第一时间救援,你们不得不离开自己的家人,走向生死未卜的战场。或许,因为长时间穿防护服,你们的脸上印上了不少伤疤,可在我们心里,你们有世上最美的容颜!白衣天使们,你们不需要翅膀,你们早已飞在每一个人的心里,用你们的善意滋润每一个人的心。
可是,看到你们因为工作疲惫而在椅子上走廊上睡觉时,我们好心疼呀。你们在救助别人的同时,请一定要保重自己的身体!你们的平安、病人的康复,是我们最大的希望!谢谢你们的守护,谢谢你们的付出,在每个有你们的地方,我们都感到心安。
请记住,你们不是一个人在奋斗,我们的心与你们同在。
祝:身体健康!

篇13:新年给老师的一封信英语
全文共 2401 字
+ 加入清单Mr. Zeng
Hello! Winter vacation for a long time, did not see you, so want to write a
letter to you, talk about my new years interesting events.
On the second day of the first month, my parents and I went to visit aunt
mans house for new years greetings. We met four cousins and cousins. Mother
saw that our children had no fun staying in the yard, so she proposed to climb
the mountain. We were overjoyed and rushed to say yes. It should not be too
late. Mother and aunt Jingjing set out with five children. The road up the
mountain is extremely rugged, and to the back is almost full of dense jungle. I
led two cousins to rush forward through all kinds of difficulties to open up a
passage for my mother and two sisters. Later, I felt that I was the biggest boy
and should not not take care of my sister, so I went back to the back to protect
my sisters. For a moment, I plucked the trees for Kiki, and then led Xi Xi Xi
across the pit. We took care of each other, and finally climbed to the top of
the mountain. My mother took some pictures for us as a souvenir. It began to go
down the mountain again. We ran into a house with dogs. We three "little men"
came back home to protect our two cousins and two mothers.
My aunt and grandmothers house is backed by green hills and facing the
fields. After dinner, we happily went to the fields to play! As soon as we saw
the haystack, we would sleep, roll and play on it. We had a lot of fun. The
lovely smiling faces on the haystack entered the mothers camera. The haystack
that others have painstakingly piled up has been broken up. We feel sorry for it
and try to pile it up again.
On the fourth day of junior high school, we went to my uncles house to pay
New Years greetings. His family has a unicycle, usually used to carry grain or
farm tools. Seeing this special "rustic" car, I was very happy and invited
brother hang and brother Yi, who came to pay New Years greetings, to play with
me. Yi Di and I were sitting on the wheelbarrow, and brother hang came to push
the wheelbarrow, which was much more fun than riding in the car! However,
brother Hangs strength was too strong, the speed was too fast, and there was no
safety guarantee, so we screamed nervously!
Mr. Zeng, you see, in such a vast country, we have spent a healthy, happy
and beautiful spring festival in the city for a long time. Did you have a
colorful spring festival?
Best wishes
Everything is as good as you wish!

+ 加入清单There was once a little girl named Anna, that wanted to have magic in this
world; but she knew that her mother would just only laugh at her if she had told
her. And so she decided to go on the adventure on her own.
She got everything that she needed to complete her mission, and then
started off without a word to say. She headed out to the woods, and found a
little tree house nearby; she climbed up there with a ladder, and found lots of
books and shelves there. She found a book about knights, and turned to a page of
pictures of knights long ago; and how they battle enemies such as that. Anna
wished so much that she could go there.
After that she fell asleep, and then she opened her eyes, and found her on
the ground; as if she were asleep… She thought it very weird, that she was here;
at first she was at the tree house, then she was at the grass plot.
She got up, and walked through looking for an exit, then she found the book
that she was reading before; she knew that she must have gone into the knight’s
story because of her wish. She picked up the book, and looked around; The book
suddenly moved like magic, then, she found the books end; there were some words
written all over it.
She read in out loud, “If you want to escape this land you are in, all you
have to do is try and face all the knights, there are four of them; good luck!”
then she began searching for knights, but what she did before that was to think
about how to defeat them… She walked along the road, and finally saw a big tree
with a sharp branch; she had an idea of how she could face the knights; she
broke down the branch, and kept on searching. She was not quite ready for
beating them, for she just needed some other things in order to defeats them…
She kept on her journey, and suddenly realized a big rock; she was tired and so
lay on it. Then a crack came on her back, and the rock got up. Anna was
astonished, she stood up and said, “Who are you?” then the rock replied. “I am
the alive rock and I suppose you are Anna;” “How did you know my name?”
The rock took a breath and replied, “Because I heard your voice ever since,
I know you are looking for some new weapons to defeat knights…” “I most
certainly am alive rock,” and she bowed down. The rock then said, “I suppose I
can be of much use to you, I am going to come with you; and see whether there
are dangers…”
And so Anna and the alive rock moved along, suddenly they came to a big
giant tree; the tree said slowly, “Who are you that dare come to my place?”
“Ah!” shouted Anna, “Alive tree!” “How did you guess my name?” asked the talking
tree; “Because-because your, a-liv-e!” “Yep! And that’s my neighbor;” answered
alive rock. Anna then said; “OH, well I suppose you can be a lot of use to me
when I defeat knights!”
“Knight? Defeat? Ha! That is already the easiest sport I could think of! I
had defeated knights for like 2089 times!” “What?!” asked Anna rather surprised,
then she gulped and answered; “Then you must come with me!” answered Anna
proudly. And so the three of them marched down, until they came was a big knife;
the knife turned around and said, “Who are you little girl?” “Ah!” shouted Anna
again, “That’s our neighbor too!” replied alive tree and alive rock
together.
Anna then said, “Oh, then you must come with me; I have to defeat knights!”
“Oh,” answered the knife, “Then I suppose I could be a lot of use to you, now
all we are missing in the alive shield…” He didn’t even finish until, “What?!”
shouted Anna, “Don’t shout Anna!” replied alive tree, “This isn’t fake, it is
true; follow knife!”
Then knife led the group to where the big shield was, he was brushing his
face when they arrived, “Oh, hello everybody; and hello little girl named Anna!”
“How did you all know my name?” “No time for that!” shouted alive rock, “We have
knights to defeat!” “And you must come with us alive shield!” “No problem!”
shouted he, and then the group marched off.
They at last reached the knights hiding spot, the four knights answered;
“We shall destroy you!” speaking of which, the knights charged toward Anna’s
group; “Attack!” shouted Anna. Alive tree, alive rock, alive knife and mostly
alive shield charged toward the knights. Seeing such a fright, the knights said,
“You know what; maybe today is not the day boys…
Then the knights were destroyed by the alive group team.
Suddenly a flash came upon Anna, and she vanished out of sight; “Where did
she go?” asked the group. Then she shook their heads, and went back to their
homes…
And for Anna, she got back home; and she at last knew that magic is really
magic…
