我的假期英语作文（精品20篇）

It maybe our common desires to experience a meaning life, but when it comes

to the topic “How to live a meaningful life”, the opinions are divided. In

someone’s eyes, they agree that a meaningful life is just a comfortable life

which means they can enjoy themselves as possible as they can.

However, personally in my view, if we spend our whole life in pursuing

things only for ourselves, we will surely let ourselves down when we look back.

There’s an old saying that goes “The greatest use of life is to spend it for

something that will outlast it”. I can’t agree more. If there is a way to avoid

a disappointed life, it should be to try our best to find meaningful things

which can also make contributions to the whole society. Even a single man can

make a big difference to the world. Not to mention that everyone get together to

bring changes to the society.

It’s high time that we took measures to experience a meaning life. What’s

more, it’s never too late to start a meaning life. So be yourself, enjoy your

happiness and be helpful to others. That’s the meaning life worth living.

About 5 km(3 miles)south of Sanya City in Hainan Province lies a hill extending in the shape of an enthralling deer looking back. This hill is the very same one mentioned in the legend of the Li Minority Group. There once lived a diligent and brave hunter in the Wuzhi Mountain area so the legend goes. This young man came across a charming deer one day while out hunting in the mountain. He chased the deer for about nine days and nights，traversing numerous hills and dales.

海南省三亚市区南边区约5公里处绵延座落着一座小山。这座山形如一只凝望的迷人小鹿。这就是黎族传奇故事中提及的完那座山。

Having reached the Luhuitou cliff edge，there was no way(where)for the deer to escape except into the churning sea below. Just as the hunter was about to shoot the deer with an arrow，it miraculously transformed into a beautiful and enchanting girl Surprisingly，the deer was originally a fairy girl and was fond of the excellent character of the young man. She took a fancy to the seaside around Sanya and led the man here in the guise of a deer.They fell in love，got married and later settled in a village here一Hence the hill，the peninsula and the village are all named Luhuitou. Sanya City is also referred to as"Deer City".

据传说，很久以前，五指山地区有位勤劳勇敢的猎人。一天，这位年轻人在上山打猎时偶然发现了一只美丽的花鹿。他穷追不舍，一直追了九天九夜，翻过了无数山头和溪谷。

Luhuitou Hill，at an altitude of about 280 meters(918 feet)，is the main peak of Luhuitou Peninsula. Its a pleasant place to appreciate the sunrise and sunset， and overlook the downtown area of Sanya City. At the foot of the hill，you can see various kinds of halobios，including starfish，crabs，sea cucumbers，actiniae and jellyfish. Up along the hill，a kind of red flower called Triangle Plum will come into view. Its the City Flower of Sanya. Halfway up the hill，a tuft of Triangle Plum，de-scending like a waterfall，is a really amazing sight. Not far from the flower and at the foot of an old tree stands a tablet inscribed with the red Chinese characters Hai Shi Shan Meng(a solemn pledge of love.On the branches of the old tree are hanging many ribbons indicating the permanent love of peoples prayers. Walking along，you will see a pavilion called Shanmeng(unalterable love)Pavilion containing the Shanmeng Tablet，which corresponds to the four characters mentioned before. At the top of the hill，towers a twelve-meter(39 feet)high granite statue.The statue is really unique in its design;consisting of a deer looking back，flanked by the young Li hunter and the beautiful fairy girl，its a visual reminder of the memorable legend.

他一直追到鹿回头悬崖边缘，花鹿没有别的办法，要想逃命只有跳入下面的汹涌大海。正当猎人搭箭射向花鹿时，花鹿奇迹般变成一位美丽迷人的姑娘。令人吃惊的是，花鹿还是一位仙女。她非常弃欢年轻人的优秀品格。她喜欢三亚附近的海滨，让这位年轻人假扮一只鹿来到这里，他们坠入爱河、结婚井在这里的一个村庄定居下来。从此，这里的小山、半岛和村庄一起取名为鹿回头。三亚市也因此被称为“鹿城”。

The area around the statue has been turned into a park，called Luhuitou Park. The park contains the Observation Station for Halleys Comet，the white Tingchao Pavilion(a pavilion for listening to the tide).the romantic Lover Island and Monkey Hill among other attractions.

鹿回头山海拔高约280米，是鹿回头山顶公园的主峰，是观赏日出和日落、鸟瞰三亚市区的好地方。山脚下，游客可以石到各种各样的海洋生物，包括海星、蟹、海参、海葵和水母。沿山而卜，映人眼帘的是一种名叫“三角梅”的红花，这是三亚市的市花。在半山腰，一簇簇“三角梅”像瀑布一样向下延伸，真是美极了。在离花不远的一棵古树脚下。竖着一块山盟碑，上面写着“海誓山盟”(爱的终言)几个红色汉字。古树的枝条上悬挂着很多表明祈祷者爱心永恒的丝带。向前走，游客会看见一个名叫“山盟亭”(不变的爱)的亭子，里面有前述写有四个汉字的山盟碑。在山顶上屹众着一座12米高的花岗岩雕像。雕像设计独特，上刻有回头鹿，侧面为黎族青年猎人和美丽的仙女。这是一个令人难忘的传奇故事视觉提示物。

Luhuitou Peninsula is not only a romantic peninsula，but also a lush，natural environment covered with deciduous frees and plants. It is the ideal place to spend a winter holiday in China.

雕像周围地区已经变成了一个公园，叫“鹿回头”公园。公园里哈雷彗星观察站。白色的“听潮亭”(听潮的令子)，还有浪漫的“情人岛”以及“猴山”等其他景点。 鹿回头山顶公园不但是一个浪漫的半岛，还拥有一个被各种落叶树和植物所覆盖的青葱茂密的自然环境，是中国冬天度假的理想胜地。

愉快的寒假生活寒假生活就要结束了，回想这三十多天的生活，还真是有很多难忘而又愉快的事。

“过年好!过年好啊!”几声吉祥话第一个飘入我的耳朵里。这就是我这几天寒假生活的最深刻的印象：热闹!大年初一，我从热乎乎的被窝里爬出来，经没有感到任何的寒冷。放眼望去，满村红彤彤的一片——放过的爆竹纸皮、家家高挂的大红灯笼、还有满大家走着的穿着红唐装的乡亲们，喜庆的气氛随之即来。我穿好了衣服，和家人们一起吃热腾腾的早饭。普通的稀粥、咸菜，还有昨夜剩下的饺子，全家人在一起吃，也格外的香。刚吃完饭，就有人过来拜年。他们脸上洋溢着笑容，双手握在一起，向大家拜年，说着吉祥话。走前还往小孩手中塞压岁钱。小孩儿们则是瞪大眼睛，看着大人们推推嚷嚷时红包的位置，最终接到红包以后，也不敢擅自妄为，一切都看父母的眼色行事。

寒假和暑假最大的不同，就是在寒假里会过新年，亲人重聚，享受天伦之乐。今年过年，我远在外地姨、哥哥、弟弟们，都来到了我们家。我们家的人气一下子增高了，并且过了个热热闹闹的兔年。大表哥带回来优异的学业成绩;二表哥带回来适合的工作;小弟也带回来了口才班的学习成果。大家各有所得，互相交流着，十分融洽。这也许就是过年时的特殊气氛吧。

我过了一个愉快，平凡，但有充实的寒假。我乐在其中。

We’ve been busy working in the past three years. The summer holiday is coming and I want to do something interesting and relaxing.

First of all, I’m going to visit my grandparents because I haven’t been with them for a long time. Next, I plan to go to the seaside, swim in the sea and lie on the beach. Then, I’ll practice playing table tennis which is my favorite sport. Finally, I’ll read some interesting books.

I’m sure I can enjoy myself during the summer holiday. I’m looking forward to it.

During the winter vacation, nothing is different for my life. I wake up 11 o’clock Am everyday, after a washing, I have a good lunch with my parents. Next I play computer games till the time to have supper. After have dinner. I go on playing till 2 o’clock Am, and then go to sleep with tired. This is one dull day of my winter vacation.

寒假期间，我的生活没有什么不同。每天早上十一点我醒来，洗后，我和我的父母有一个很好的午餐。然后我玩电脑游戏，直到吃晚饭的时间。晚餐后。我继续玩到凌晨二点，然后去睡觉了。这是我寒假无聊的一天。

But I haven’t bored all the time. Sometimes I read the books, sometime I listen to the music or the radio in the bed，because it was very cold outside and snowy all the day. And I also meat some of my good friends during the vacation ,we have a very long talk about the life of each other in the past year and play table tennis tegether .And I watched the spring festival party of the CCTV in the last seconds of the 2004 year! I think this is the thing most people of china doing at that time.

但我还没有厌倦所有的时间。有时我读的书，有时我听音乐或收音机在床上，因为外面很冷而且整天下雪。我还肉我的一些好朋友在假期，我们在过去的一年里对彼此的生活很长的谈话和打乒乓球。我看了中央电视台春节晚会在2004年最后一秒!我认为这是中国的大多数人当时做的。

That’s all, all my dull, coldly and snowy winter vacation.

这一切，我所有的乏味，冷冷地和冬季度假。

我的假期(My holiday)

I enjoyed my May Day holiday. We Chinese people celebrated the International Labour Day in different ways. Some of us really enjoyed our holiday vacations, so we went sightseeing and visiting our loved ones. However, other people had to take their duties on this holiday.

For example, the police, firefighters and soldiers were on their duties by keeping us safe throughout the holiday. Hospitals opened during the holiday, so doctors and nurses were on call for taking care of their patients. Services such as tourism, restaurants, shopping malls and super markets were open to the public during the May Day holiday.

We appreciated these hard working people who never stopped delivering great services to their clients and customers throughout the holiday of the First of May. All in all, showing appreciation to hard working people is a significance of celebrating the Labour Day holiday. I liked this May Day holiday very much!

金秋十月，秋高气爽，我们迎来了祖国妈妈七十岁的生日，我期待已久的假期也开始了。

假期第一天，我和妈妈来到她的办公室值班。上午十点，我们终于盼来了大阅兵的直播，随着嘹亮的国歌声，五星红旗冉冉升起。接着，一列列方队迈着整齐的步伐走来了，有海军方队、陆军方队、空军方队……我最喜欢的女兵方队走来了，瞧，她们身穿红色军衣，迈着铿锵有力的步伐“咚!咚!咚!”地走过了天安门。看着她们一个个英姿飒爽，我心里默默地想：长大以后，我也要当一个了不起的女兵来报效祖国。

假期里，我们还去了海边玩。哇，大海真大呀!一眼望去无边无际，海上一艘艘大轮船正在航行着，真是美极了!我们欢快地奔跑在金黄金黄的沙滩上，身后留下了一串串小脚印，好像一串串项链。海浪一打，脚印消失了，大海收下了我们的礼物。我们坐在又细又软的沙滩上，海浪一层一层地打来，打湿了我的衣裳。我发出一阵阵的尖叫声，大海像是听见了我的欢呼声，雪白的浪花打得更猛了。沙滩上有人在踩着浪花，有人在浪里嬉戏，他们不时地发出一阵阵银铃般的笑声。

这可真是一个又有意义又愉快的假期啊!

The next few days were spent helping my sister find a job. We read many advertisements in newspapers. My sister failed in getting the first job because they said she was too young. Then we lost our way and couldn’t find the second company. We had a map but the city is so big, so we had to asked someone for help and finally found the second company. The boss had a talk with my sister and asked her to wait at home for their decision. A month later we went home. My sister couldn’t find a job in Shanghai because she was not knowledgeable enough or she didn’t have enough experience.

Hello everyone. My name is Alec. I’m so glad to be here. My topic is my holiday.

Today is my holiday. I ask my mum, “Can we go to Baiyun Mountain with Dad?” “Good idea,” says mum. We pack some water and snacks, and then we drive there. There are two ways to the top of the mountain. We choose the steeper one because we want a challenge. The scenery is very beautiful. There are trees and flowers everywhere. We see a beehive with bees busy working. We meet a lot of people on the way. Some of them are singing, some of them are dancing, and some of them are playing with their family.

When we climb halfway up the mountain, it is getting steeper and steeper. We are bathed in sweat. Mum and I are tired to walk. Dad says, “keep on going. Where there is a will there is a way.” At last we climb to the summit. We are very happy though we are very tired. From the peak of Baiyun Mountain we can see the whole city of Guangzhou. It is so beautiful. We sit down, relax, and enjoy our snacks.

I wish I could have more time like this to relax with my family.

At present, many teenagers smoke. I dont think its a good phenomenon. It

must be stopped, for smoking is harmful in many ways.

First, smoking is bad for our health. As we start smoking, its so

difficult to give up, because the tobacco contains a drug called nicotine, which

can get us into the habit of smoking. When we go without nicotine, our bodies

will feel sick.

Second, smoking is so dangerous. When we smoke in bed, we may kill

ourselves as well as burn down our houses, for burning cigarette ends may cause

a big fire. And if we threw the cigarette ends anywhere, it would also cause a

fire disaster.

Furthermore, once we smoke in public, we may make other people feel

uncomfortable as well.

Accordingly, for the sake of your and others’ health, please dont

smoke.

Many animals are in danger of dying out. As is shown in the chart, we can

see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will

continue. From 1980 to 2010, at least 1 million animal species have disappeared.

Worse still, more and more wild animals are in great danger. It is not a piece

of sensational news; it is a fact, a harsh reality. Unfortunately, we may not

see these animals in the near future.

From the second picture, we can find some reasons. Why is the number of

animal species declining year by year? Apparently animals have become victims of

fashion industry. Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and

these clothes sell at a high price. So some greedy people begin to kill animals

in a large quantity. This irresponsible behavior not only breaks the balance of

nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings.

As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal

action. We believe "no buying, no killing". First, we must make concerning laws

to protect these animals in danger. Second, we must take some measures to

protect animals effectively. Animals are our friends and part of our

environment. Third, we should raise peoples awareness to protect animals and

our environment. In this way, we can build a harmonious society and ensure a

sustainable development.

The lunar New Year holiday, I stayed at home and not go out, really upset, and then left a telephone, right a phone call my aunt and cousin.

We are more strange, eat up one by one: egg yolk, candy, sausage, big jujube, apple... A wide range of a plate without a weigh appearance. A little later, a small dumpling is our "destroy".

As we gorge, mother and young aunt before hiding in the side smile keep not waist. Such as we had finished, they went out of the to say: "how, our colorful dumplings good!" "Well, well."

When we read newspapers, our attention is always attracted by increasing

unemployment rate in young graduates who are leaving college. In my opinion,

there are many causes for this disquieting phenomenon and we should try to solve

the problem.

Most companies would rather employ a low-educational specialized worker

than a this-years graduate from a well-known university. For companies, they are

more likely to choose the candidates with rich working experience. Apparently

enough, the training for young graduates usually costs them a large quantity of

time and money. In addition, the current education system brings on a lot of

bookworms who are adept in theoretical but not practical knowledge. Therefore,

it is hard for those graduates to complete the practical assignments

successfully and smoothly. This is one major reason why many graduates find it

to find suitable jobs.

An un-mandatory retirement age is another factor leading to the youth

unemployment for college graduates. Along with the improving of working

efficiency, proficient employees with rich and extensive working experience get

retired at a much later age. In this case, for young graduates, there are fewer

chances to get access to the jobs taken up by the older and more

experienced.

I have a very happy holiday.

My father and mother take me to the zoo,and I see many lovely animals,like monkey,panda，tiger and so on.

This year is the Ox year,so we go to the cow factory to see the cows.Oh,how lovely they are!

A young man asked Socrates the secret to success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. They met. Socrates asked the young man to walk with him toward the river. When the water got up to their neck, Socrates took the young man by surprise and ducked him into the water. The boy struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled his head out of the water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breath of air. Socrates asked, “What did you want the most when you were there?” The boy replied, “Air.” Socrates said, “That is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it. There is no other secret.”

我按平时的规律吃晚餐、打扫屋子、写作--做着日常事务。然后我躺下，希望能快点入睡，新的一天就能快点到来--拥有新生太阳的崭新的一天。可当我躺在那儿，等待着世界的日夜回转时，我想到了她。有时我会笑起来，有时那微笑变成了窃笑，然后窃笑又常常变成爆笑。
