拥抱拾荒的父亲英语作文推荐20篇

Early in senior high school, we longed to be enrolled in a university. Now

the dream has come true. But how do we college students like our campus

life?

Certainly, some relish it, finding it colorful and rewarding. Besides

study, they spend considerable amount of time improving themselves in various

aspect. Yet others do not think much of their college life, thus do not benefit

as much. In their eyes, the university is just a bigger high school. The only

difference is that they have more time at their disposal without parents looking

over their shoulder.

As to me, college life is ideal if only I have abundant books to read, some

bosom friends to keep me company, a couple of conscientious professors to

instruct me.

Chinahas a very long and brilliant history, whose people are so friendly

and hospitable. But I am wondering why some people pay such little attention to

the environment and nature. In many places of the countryside, rivers have

become stinking sewers and brooks have disappeared. Heaps of garbage obstructs

the scarce flow of dirty water. The grounds are littered with plastic bottles

and bags. People are cutting down trees even though it is illegal. In some

towns, rubbish is hidden behind walls. Garbage cans are often of little use,

making cleaners must rush all day long and also by night to clean the

rubbish.

This lack of consideration for nature in general is extremely detrimental

to children’s education, toChina’s image, to public health, to tourism and to

the future.Chinais the common treasure of all Chinese, and we should live up to

be a member of this big family, a descendant of 5000-year-plus ancient civilized

country. I think the environment must absolutely be strictly protected by all

means. This protection should go at the same pace as the marvelous development

of the nation.

In this respect,Germanyis a rare model and leaves me a very deep

impression. After you have an exciting tour around in this country for a week or

so, it is unnecessary for you to polish your leather shoes. Personally, first of

all, the strong awareness of people’s environmental protection; then, the

advanced technology applied in the field of preserving the nature; We can learn

form others in building China into one of the most environmentally friendly

places in the world.

Blair is my classmate as well as my best friend. We have already known each

other for ten years. We live in the same block so that we always go to school

together. She has long hair, big eyes and sweet smile, which makes her popular

in my class. Blair works hard and she is a good student in the eyes of teachers.

Besides, she is clever and kindhearted. When others turn to her for help, she

always tries her best to help. I feel proud to have such a good friend.

Today, the world is globalized and more and more foreigners come to China

to seek for business cooperation. Many years ago, a non-profit organization

named the second Saturday of July as the International Day of Cooperatives. Its

purpose is to call for more cooperations between countries.

With the development of Internet, the world gets smaller, because the

communication between countries has increased. America is the superpower all the

time, but during recent times, there are so many business cooperation between

Chinese people and American people. It is known to all that China’s market is

full of vitality, so there is no doubt that cooperation between countries will

be the main trend.

The cooperation happens all the time and it promotes the working

efficiency. People can share the information and technology. They learn from

each other, so as to gain the precious experience and make progress. China is

the future, so more and more foreigners learn mandarin. They want to find a

place here and make their achievement. We also can gain a lot when we work with

them.

Nowadays university graduates have different job outlooks. For most of them, to find a job with satisfactory pay is their most important wish while majority want to be self – employed. However, a certain number of graduates are not in a hurry to hunt for jobs. They are just waiting for better chances. Toward this point of view, some experts warn that it is not wise to be just waiting. They advise that graduates should find a regular, full-time job as quickly as possible so that they can earn money to support themselves and get working experience, which will help to find a better position later. Moreover, it might be more difficult to find a satisfactory job next year.

如今大学毕业生的就业前景不同。对于大部分孩子来说，要找到一个令人满意的支付工作是他们最重要的希望，而多数是希望能够自我 - 就业。但是，一定数量的毕业生不急于寻找就业机会。他们只是在等待更好的机会。对这一观点，一些专家警告说，只是等待这是不明智的。他们提醒毕业生应该找到一个正规，全职工作，以便尽可能快的挣钱来养活自己和获得工作经验，这将有助于找到更好的更高的位置。此外，明年可能更难找到一个称心如意的工作。

记忆里父亲是个严肃的人，平日不苟言笑，甚至有些刻板。上个世纪八九十年代以前的中年男人大多这个样子，只不过父亲更典型罢了！

父亲的威严贯穿了我的整个少年时代，虽然他从不曾打过我，但他严厉的目光向我直射过来时，我总仿佛做错了什么事情，身上毛茸茸的不自在。

父亲在家时，我总是溜在一边，假装着看书或做正经事，以免引起他的注意，但常常又招来不必要的训导。有时我更希望父亲出门，我就可以不那么循规蹈矩了，甚至可以做一些出格的事，比如逃课出去打乒乓球，直到老师找上门来，母亲才恍然大悟：每天回家都很晚，还以为他用功呢，原来如此！但母亲从不疾言厉色，说上几句也无关痛痒。母亲没有望子成龙的思想，她常说：“树大自直。”还好，我们姐弟几人都没有让她太操心。若父亲在家，我决然不敢造次，纵使冒死作乱一两回也绝没有这么便宜了事！

我对父亲敬而远之，父亲对我一般也没有什么亲昵之举，若是碰巧我考个第一名回来，他顶多拍拍我的肩膀说一句：“还行！”至于如西方人的拥抱之举，简直不敢想象。只有一次例外，那是我上技校第一学期休寒假后返校时，在沈阳一家小旅馆里令我终生难忘的一幕！

初中快毕业时，我得了急性阑尾炎，待割掉阑尾，大约耽误了半个月的功课，成绩下滑了许多，但考取高中应该不成问题，可巧那年技校开始允许应届生报考，我就动了这个念头。渴望着到外面闯荡一番，至于后面的结果，根本想不到那么远。父亲起初不同意，架不住我软磨硬泡，终于民主了一回。

事后证明我这次的选择是错误的，许多成绩不如我的同学后来都上了大学，现在工作比我体面风光。然而人生的路就是这样，你永远不会知道明天会发生什么！命运不会永远给你幸运，也不会永远给你挫折，只要你不自甘堕落！

寒假快返校时，父亲正好有一个与我顺路出差的机会，我要在沈阳倒车，父亲要去沈阳办事。父亲那时是一家贸易公司的经理，出差是经常的，这次要办的事不是太急，早几天晚几天都行，为了送我一程，就迁就了我返校的日子，也算一次小小的假公济私吧！

与我们同行的还有一位供销人员，那天早晨我们在沈阳老北站下的车，匆忙地在站前小饭馆吃了口饭，随后我们坐了很长时间的公共汽车到了于洪区（郊区），找了家小旅馆住了下来，父亲说：“这里住宿便宜！”父亲就是这样，一贯地节俭，不管对私还是对公，若有个节俭大赛什么的，父亲肯定能得冠军。

我还大致记得父亲那时的装束，一件铁灰色的制服已洗的发了白，脚上一双老式圆头皮鞋起了不少褶皱，父亲总说皮子好，舍不得换掉。倒是与父亲同行的那个年轻销售人员，衣着光鲜，腆着肚子，像个领导似的，而父亲顶多像个村干部！

安顿好后，父亲对我俩说：“坐了一宿的车，都累了，你俩休息吧！我去买票（给我办中转签字），中午回来，下午再出去办事。”

父亲走后，我倒头就睡下了，待到被父亲同事推醒已中午十分，但父亲还没有回来，我有些着急，因为买票用不了一上午呀！

父亲同事像是了解父亲似的说：“你父亲肯定去办事去了，不用着急，咱们先去吃饭。”

下午等了很久，父亲还没有回来，我几次下一楼传达室，盼望父亲打来电话，然而几次铃声响，喊得都不是我们。我有些忐忑不安了。

二月末的沈阳天黑的早，刚五点多钟外面就朦朦胧胧的了，从旅社的窗户往街上望去，风吹的光秃秃的树枝摇来晃去，低沉的灰云好象岩石要砸下来，骑自行车的上班族匆忙地赶回温暖的家门。

每一辆公交车停下时，我都渴望出现父亲的身影，但我失望了，只有蜂拥上下车的人群。我隐隐有一种担心，父亲会不会有什么意外？……

晚饭时，父亲的同事特意点了两个好菜，若在平时我一定会狼吞虎咽的，但那天我却没有食欲，只吃了几口。父亲的同事依旧满不在乎地说：“不用担心，你父亲一定有事耽搁了，没事的……”话虽如此，但我的心还是悸悸的。

就在我们走出餐厅的时候，我几乎与一个人撞了个满怀，我定睛一看，正是满心惦记着的父亲，我不由自主地扑向了父亲，父亲也伸出了双臂把我紧紧搂在怀里，我第一次感觉到父亲是那样的亲切,父亲的胸膛是那么温暖……

很快，父亲松开了他的手，我也感觉有些不好意思，毕竟有好多人看着呢！

这时我才看见腾腾的热汗从父亲的头上冒出来，父亲的脸上挂满了歉意的笑容。

父亲先问我们是不是等着急了，然后急切地道出了原委，原来父亲买完票，时间还早，就想就近办些公事，但事情远没有他想得那么顺利，办完事已是下午三、四点钟，中间往旅社打过电话，但没有通，不知是记错了号码还是别的原因。最糟糕的是回来时坐错了车，父亲又舍不得打出租，公交车倒来倒去的时间就耽搁了。

父亲接着说：“赶紧准备一下去车站，时间不多了，我给你买了一只烧鸡，留着路上吃……”烧鸡，在八十年代我的眼中可是天下第一美味呀！父亲这样慷慨大方的时候可不多哟！

天已整个黑下来，小贩零星的吆喝透着初春的寒意，稀疏的灯火下，我看见不到五十岁的父亲已鬓发半白。我突然感觉鼻子酸酸的，我努力着不让眼泪流下来，回转身径直上了车。

路上，灯火渐渐辉煌起来，我仿佛觉得我孤独的前程也不再那么暗淡……

[拥抱父亲的作文

I love to read. When I was three years old, my parents had taught me to

read. They bought me some books with funny and colorful pictures. Soon I was

attracted by these stories and fell in love with reading. Since I went to

school, I often went to the library and it was my favorite place. Studying in

the library provided me a silent environment. The most important thing was that

as so many excellent students sat around me. I felt the great motivation to move

on. I could find the data any time and read the books I liked. I have gained a

lot of knowledge and find the great hour there.

The way people hold the belief that a fun-filled， pain-free lifestyle

equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real

happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness，then pain must be equal to

unhappiness. But in fact，the opposite is true： more often than not things that

lead to happiness contain some pain.

As a result，many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true

happiness.They fear the pain inevitably (不可避免地) brought by such things as

marriage，raising children，professional achievement， religious commitment，

self-improvement.

Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be

less and less satisfying. If he is honest，he will tell you that he is afraid of

making a commitment，for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is

filled with fun， adventure and excitement.Marriage has such moments，but they are

not its most distinguishing features.

Couples，with infant children， are lucky to get a whole nights sleep of a

three-day vacation. We dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to

describe raising children. But couples that decide not to have children ever

know the joys of watching a child grow up or playing with a grandchild.

Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun

is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time： now we can devote

more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It liberates

money：buying that new car or those fancy clothes to increase our happiness now

seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy：we now understand that all those

who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

Everyone will have some unforgettable memories. These big and small

memories are like the shining stars in my memory, and one of them is the first

time I read science books.

It was the second day of the summer vacation for Daban. It was sunny and a

little sultry in the morning. My father said to me happily, "son, today my

father will take you to climb the mountain and enjoy the beautiful scenery on

the top of the mountain." I readily agreed. So we came to the famous Dayang

mountain in Dongzhu.

My father and I went to the foot of the mountain, looked up, and could not

see the top of Dayang mountain. My father said, "climb to the top of the

mountain and you can enjoy the most beautiful scenery in the world." I look

forward to my father.

At the beginning of climbing, I was full of energy and very relaxed. But

when I climbed to the middle of the mountain, my body became heavier and heavier

like lead. Dad saw me like this, so we rested for a while, and continued to

climb up. After a long time, I saw that I was exhausted when I was near the top

of the mountain. I begged dad to take me down the mountain. Dad encouraged me:

"hold on a little longer, and soon I will be at the top of the mountain Well,

the ancients said, "you will be at the top of the mountain and see all the small

mountains." dont you want to experience this feeling? " I gasped and said, "Dad,

I really cant climb. I cant move my legs anymore. I want to go back..." Dad

helplessly took me down the mountain.

At that time, I didnt stick to it. Unfortunately, I missed the beautiful

scenery at the top of the mountain. Ive learned that if I do anything, work hard

and stick to it to the end, there will be gains. Study is also, persist in the

end will achieve good results.

一场车祸让您在医院度过了年轻的时光，而您出事后几个月我诞生了真是伤口上撒盐啊！

我爷爷是～～～～的人而您却为了家庭而放弃了梦想与学业如果当初您没有放弃您大概是团长以上的级别了吧也不会发生怎么悲惨的人生转折，这难道是天意吗？两种答案，第一种：自己的人生，第二种：上天的就已。您好后有自己已有的经济实力干起一番事业，我知道这中间有多少磨难和与死神的插肩。但是就这样父亲依旧没有放弃因为他清楚自己还有自己的使命，就是这样一个父亲给我一个好的环境让我走向自己的梦想。

我想在他的人生路上，他并没有继承他父亲的什么物和道理，唯一的变是分家。但就是他却在人生的路上不得学习可以说他和他同一倍的人懂得更多，因为他知道学习知道不断跟随社会的发展，但是因为经济与环境的问题所困扰。

是他教会了我如何处事和责任……一大堆道理我认为知比世上任何一样东西更有价值，虽然我现在的理解能力还达不到但我会向父亲一样与困难撕咬。

每当我读到关于父亲是文章和看见子生病了父亲带他去医院，我都会想起小学时候所有的人都羡慕您有这样的孝子，而我知道，仔细，都是您教与我的爱的方式。只是我的爱永远比不上你的爱，宽阔辽远一如无际的大海，纯祱透明没有丝毫杂质，而我，只能用杯水，去回报大海。

Aducation is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not

educate children only for educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for

life.

In some modern countries it has been fashionable to think that free

education for all can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect

nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough.We find

in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees refusing

to do what they think is "low"work, and. in fact, working with ones hands is

thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.

But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a

completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor~ we

can live without education,but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our

streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible

diseases in our towns.

In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it

means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do

whatever work is suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can

realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be

ashamed of ones work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable

to society.

Every child is surrounded by the deep mother love. However, we often turn a

blind eye to the love. One day I deeply felt the love.

One day I hurried home for lunch after school, because there would be an exam

in the afternoon and I had expected to go back to school early to prepare for

the exam. But when I got home, the lunch was not ready yet. I felt unhappy. When

the dishes were served, I forund none I like. I ran out of my house angrily and

wanderde on the street for a while,hungry. Then I walked to school.

When I got into the classroom, I saw a lunch box on my desk. One classmate

told me that it was my mother ther that had brought it here.After opening the

box, I found my favorite food inside. My eyes was moist with tears.

Mother gave me her love without asking for return, How deep mother love

is!

学会拥抱，向亲人撒播温暖灵魂的阳光，让亲人在拥抱中获取战胜困难的力量，我如是想。但落在生活时间上，却发现自己并不能像外国人对上辈、下辈和配偶见拥抱亲吻进行得轻松自如，它不仅需要情感，还要有勇气。

我就缺少了这种勇气，从小到大，我一直认为自己还小，才不要做那么恶心的事，可自从上了王老师的那节“情感课”之后，我改变了看法。为了对多年来都不被我热情对待的爸爸进行补偿，我便想了多种拥抱法去拥抱爸爸。

方法一：突然来袭。等爸爸来到身边，冲上去给个热情拥抱!于是我喊爸爸上楼，想抱一下，谁知他上来时的表情好吓人那!似乎很生气，天，计划失败!

不过我聪明绝顶，早就预料到这种情况了，接着是方法二：借口使爸爸留下，再来个拥抱。我说自己上次扭伤脚他还没个涂药，爱女情深的爸爸就会留下来给我涂药，我本想乘机拥抱的，可又感觉不好，又失败!

别以为我没预料到这点，就看方法三：吸引发。给爸爸玩他爱玩的游戏，然后向上一个拥抱!嘻嘻，进展不错，不过我突然又觉得不要意思了，难不成又要失败?我已经预料不到，惨，只好见机行事，我走到爸爸身后，装做看他下棋的样子，搂住他的脖子，看着他下，终于成功了。

令我惊讶的是，爸爸居然没反映，不过这对我来说更好，我才不希望他说“乖女儿”、“终于长大了”之类的话，这样会使我更加难以回话的。

This weekend, there was an art festival in our school, it had been hold for

five years and the school insisted to make it become the feature. I was so

excited, this was the first time for me to join. Early in the morning, I saw

there were so many people coming to the campus, making the campus so lively. The

students dressed so well and gave the warm welcome to the guests. I walked

around and appreciated the painting, every work was drawn by the students, I was

so impressed by these works. There were also some handworks, which were so

creative, it reflected the students’ wisdom. Though we were busy with our

subjects most of the time, some students still kept on their hobbies and made it

their talent. I should learn from them and develop some interest.

As we know, many people favor the idea that the college life is free and

comfortable, but I’d like to say it’s not true. As a matter of fact, my life in

university is so busy that I wonder if my energy is enough. As to my college

life, I divide it into four parts, including study, student activities, library

and the others.

Firstly, I want to talk about the study. In my opinion, study is the

priority in college. When I received the letter of admission in summer, I knew

clearly that what I should do. So I make up my mind to study hard and pursue

learning as much as possible. I’m greatly convinced that knowledge can change my

life. Therefore, I often go to the quiet study room where many people study

there. By working so hard, I get good grades in the exams.

Secondly, student activities play an important role in our college life. To

be honest, the student Union is a good place where one can develop social

skills, get his abilities trained. I take part in many student activities. For

example, I’ m a volunteer, teaching the kids to learn to dance and write. I

think it’s meaningful for everyone to give a hand to others. I can also do some

jobs in the Student Union, including receiving and sending fast mail, selling

papers and magazines. I think they’re unforgettable and worthwhile experiences

for me.

Thirdly, I also visit the library constantly. It’s said that “shelves of

books, oceans of knowledge”, so I read books that I’m interested in. In this

way, I can share stories with my new friends and it also changes my horizons

.When I’m sad, lost or in trouble, staying the library makes me quiet and

comfortable. After all, every life has bad moments as well as good ones, and the

library for me is a support in bad moments. So it’s wise choice for me to stay

in the library.

Finally, I often do other things in my spare time. In order to alleviate

parents’ burden, I often do some part-time jobs and write some articles to earn

money. It helps me to be independent and improve my social skills.

In short, my life in university is busy but valuable. You can see that

study brings me knowledge, student activities improve myself, library changes my

horizons, the others things make me independent. They get all my abilities

trained. And I see that the chance will come only if you have a prepared mind,

so I’m sure that I can achieve my dreams in college life.

I think Mid-Autumn Day is an old traditional festival in China。 Everybody

likes it because its a family get-together。 You see it is called"Mid-Autumn

Day"， so it often es in September or October。 It is on the 15th of the 8th of

the lunar month。 Now， lets say something about this interesting festival。

Firstly， Id like to say something about the moon。 I like it very much

because I want to be an astronaut in the future。 That day the moon is round，

big， just like a beautiful plate hanging on the blue cloth。 When I see the moon，

I will remember the ancient myths——the godess Chang Er and her little rabbit are

playing under the tree which Wu Gang grows。 I will also think about Armstrongs

first moonwalk。 I will also miss the friends in Tai-wan island， in Macao and

Chinese people who are abroad。 I know they are missing us very much， too。

Secondly， I11 say something about the tradition on Mid-Autumn Day。

Look!Theres a big tree in a garden of a Chinese fami-ly。 All the family members

are sitting around a big table under the tree in the open air。 They are eating

the mooncakes and admiring the full moon in the sky。 That is a family reunion

dinner。 The mooncakes and the moon represent the love from a family。 I think

this is one of the most valuable things in the world。

Thirdly，it is a very good opportunity to make three wishes on Mid-Autumn

Day。 My wishes are: the first， I， an astronaut in the future， would like to go

to the moon one day， and stay with the sky and stars; the second， I hope every

person in the world will stay with family， share love from the family forever;

the third， I hope everybodys dream will e true。

That is the Mid-Autumn Day in my mind。 I will always re-member: East or

West， home is best。

My Mother is a kind of gentle woman. She is always very gentle. She takes

good care of her children and keeps them all at school. I have one brother and

two sistets. So she gets four children in all. She gives us every comfort. We

all love her and she loves us also.

My mother has too much to do in bringing us up. As our family is too poor

to keep a servant, my mother has always to do very much work. She gets up very

early and sleeps very late every day. She works hard, yet without

complaining.

She is also a thrifty, and industrious woman. She saves every cent that she

can and keeps everything in order. As she has been busy eversince she was young,

she looks older than she really is. Her face is wrinkled, her hair becomes

silver white, but she works as hard as ever.

Often she says to us, "work while you work, play while you play. If you do

not work, you will become lazy and of no use to society." What piece of good

advice this is! We must worth it well and always keep it in our mind.

The joyous Mid-Autumn Festival was celebrated on the fifteenth day of the

eighth moon, around the time of the autumn equinox(秋分). Many referred to it

simply as the "Fifteenth of the Eighth Moon".

This day was also considered as a harvest festival since fruits, vegetables

and grain had been harvested by this time and food was abundant. Food offerings

were placed on an altar set up in the courtyard. Apples, pears, peaches, grapes,

pomegranates(石榴), melons, oranges and pomelos(柚子) might be seen. Special foods

for the festival included moon cakes, cooked taro(芋头)and water caltrope(菱角), a

type of water chestnut resembling black buffalo horns. Some people insisted that

cooked taro be included because at the time of creation, taro was the first food

discovered at night in the moonlight. Of all these foods, it could not be

omitted from the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Since I was small, I have heard about the Great Wall, it is very long, a

lot of people come to Beijingto watch it. In China, there is an old saying“One

who fails to reach the Great Wall is not a hero”. As it is so famous, I want to

the site when I have a chance. I see many pictures about the Great Wall on the

books, I also watch it through TV. Every time I see it, I feel so eager to reach

there. My father traveled there once, he took many pictures, this is the first

time I feel so close to the site. I must work hard, so I can have money to go to

there.
