拥抱拾荒的父亲英语作文（汇编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.

There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.

But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and

cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the

higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light

each year.

One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven

in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny

of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided

when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.

Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the

emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to

bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of

the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he

proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would

last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.

Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the

Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of

the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of

entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which

they pray for good fortune.

Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival

speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted

and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because

the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy

the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this

plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.

The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their

imminent destruction.

However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should

hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and

explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the

village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar

day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw

that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the

Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.

From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every

year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and

fireworks.

There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is

about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the

emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying

and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her

and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was

Yuan-Xiao.

She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the

palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the

chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern

promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern

left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised

himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for

their fortunes.

But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th

lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and

asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of

Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in

red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her

mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people

asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to

check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from

Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.

I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You

should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to

the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in

trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on

the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.

Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that

the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often

cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.

Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give

an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the

same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang

red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people

outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern

decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be

deceived.

Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed

the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th

lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of

noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into

the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern

and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her

parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han

Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since

Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao

Festival.

Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.

Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns

were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer

has such implications.

Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern

parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional

Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is

guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang

Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant

harvest, prosperity and love.

Now we are facing two problems of global warming and a shortage of natural

resources, both of which are getting more and more serious day by day. Thus, it

is important for us to promote a low-carbon lifestyle.

Low-carbon lifestyle covers many aspect of our life like transportation,

traveling, home-heating, and so on. In order to promote a low-carbon life, some

plans must be carried out as follows. Firstly, don’t waste any electricity and

water. Remember to turn off the lights and water taps unless we use them.

Secondly, we had better take the subways or bus to work, so as to reduce the

emissions of carbon dioxide. Thirdly, we should use cloth bags for shopping

instead of plastic bags, and use recyclable bowls and chopsticks instead of

disposable ones, for it can not only save resources, but also reduce pollution.

What’s more, it is of great significance to plant more trees, since trees can

balance the carbon dioxide emissions.

In a word, if we live a low-carbon life from now on, we will have a better

environment and more resources left for our descendants.

If a book is the sky, I was the birds fly freely in the sky; If a book is

the sea, I will be the swimming fish; If the book is the forest, I is the forest

the jubilant fawn; If the book garden, then I will be the dancing butterfly. Is

ah, gorky said: the book said that the ladder of human progress. The status of

books in peoples minds.

The classmates, dont your parents let you read, think to learn major

courses is the most important? The benefits of reading: not only can improve the

ability of project, it is a great way of reading comprehension.

Remember once, the teacher arranged a composition, only a minority of the

whole class classmate "optimal" I one of its top, one might ask: how do you only

into their "team"? What is the "secret weapon"? Let me tell you: "secret weapon"

that book! Reading is not enough light to read a few times, read read through

the book, and those who make you feel good good words we accumulation. I also

specially prepared a unaccustomed strain. You look! The "king" composition is

leisurely leisurely reading! Accumulation of his words have a Big Ben, think of

is dazzling, how could he not write good, good composition?

I often read books, the romance of The Three Kingdoms, "journey to the

west", "the Wolf dream king", "red ribbon lion king" is favored by me, such as

read book is ever new, one of the "the black swan amethyst" I have read a dozen

times.

Books are necessary in my life, also is the most gorgeous rainbow in my

life, because it brings the colorful life.

We have read so many inspiring examples about how the successful people

stick to their dreams. We see the power of persistence. But as I see different

situations, sometimes the way to gain achievement is not favored by me.

Different people have different ways to keep move on.

For those people whose family are not poor, they can chase their dreams

without hesitation. The parents will give great support to them and no matter

what their children do, they just want them to be happy. Without the economic

burden, those people can focus all their attention and follow their dreams all

the time.

But for the persons whose family are poor, especially the parents are

waiting for the children’s economic support, they should make ends meet first

and then follow their dreams. Life can’t be ideal all the time, only when they

solve the basic needs, dreams will be supported. Some people make the things

they like as a hobby, they keep studying it in their spared time, if insist,

they will get the extra achievement.

Following dreams completes our life and make us live with meaning. The will

of never giving up will bring us success someday.

Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live we must

communicate with other people.

A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by

the simple means of speech.

If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are

likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news

or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of

society.

Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and

during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one

of the dominating factors of contemporary society.

Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications,

photography, radio and television.

Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of

communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news,

which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.

No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged

minority.

In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed

fortunate, but today there are public libraries.

Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people

sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into

millions of homes.

Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of

information.

The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society

and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and

entertainment.

The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with

informing, educating and entertaining.

Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is

very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the

vast modern network of communications is open to abuse.

However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no

turning back.

Many years ago, when the first computer came into being, many people

predicted the age of computer has come. Now only two decades passed, here comes

the new age of cellphone. Lets look at how people depend on the phone. They use

cellphone to work and to communicate with families and friends. With the

development of technology, online payment is popular and people just need a

cellphone to pay all the bills. How convenient it is. We are lucky to live in

the age of technology. But at the same time, if we dont control ourselves, we

will lose in the technology world, such as some children overuse cellphone and

learn nothing at all.

My father is a policeman. He is tall and strong. He looks very cool in the black police uniform. He works in the police station and he is very busy every day. He likes helping people. So he often goes everywhere by his motor cycle. When he sees the people in the trouble, he will try his best to help the people. He is a good policeman. And many people like him very much, too. They often say: Mr Li, you are a good policeman. We like you very much. But my father always has a point: Helping people is his duty.

My father likes reading books very much. Because he thinks: A good book is a good friend. So he reads books after work every day. Sometimes he plays games with me. We are very happy. I like him very much, because my father is not only my father, but also my good friend.

This is my father. He is a good father. I like my father very much! My dear friends, do you have a good father, too?

我常常读不懂父亲，他就像是一本厚重的书，读也读不完，看也看不尽。

小时候，父亲是慈祥的。

虽然记不起曾经的牙牙学语，却深深回味被父亲高举上肩头的无穷快乐。坐在父亲宽阔厚实的肩膀上，天那么蓝，好像这诺大的世界都是我的。

小时候，父亲的肩膀就是我的乐园。

长大了，父亲是严厉的。

书包一天天变大，我的脸上也多了变化。不再是往日的傻乐呵，眉间多了几丝若有若无的忧愁。父亲也变了，他不再把我举上肩头，数满天星斗，而是一点小事就对我厉声呵斥，大动干戈。泪水悄无声息地滑落，我想，父亲还是小时候的父亲，只是脾气变了。

长大了，在父亲的督促下长大了。

现在，父亲是我的。

依旧没有厚实的肩头，也没了训斥作为督促，我的父亲又恢复了小时候的慈祥。只不过，手糙了，头发白了，皱纹也深了。现在，陪我下棋的是父亲，陪我打球的是父亲，陪我小论国家大事的也是父亲。他开始把我当大人一样对待。考试砸了，他没有呵斥，而是悉心教导，帮我改正错误；心情不好，他陪我彻夜聊天，发泄心中的不快。我喜欢这样的父亲，就像个朋友一样。

父亲的确是本书，这本书，虽然有残缺，却常常敲击着我心灵的最深处，我想我还远没有读懂。这本书的作者叫父亲，主人公是我们。一页页，一篇篇，记载着我们的喜怒哀乐；一字字，一句句，透露出他们的深切期盼。

这本书，作者还没有写完，仅仅完成了一半，下一半要由我们来填写。这一回，作者是孩子，主人公变成了父亲，让我们用溢出温情的笔尖，来讲述他们的苦辣酸甜。

What is art? When people think about this question, they will naturally

think about all kinds of musical instruments or the great paintings in the art

museums. Art seems to so far away from the ordinary people, but I don’t think

so. Art is everywhere. For example, the delicious food that is made by our

parents is the great art, and the value of the food is to bring people the great

joy when they have a taste of it. The scenery around us is the visible art, when

we appreciate it, our mood become eased. Art is something that brings people the

positive value for me, so art is around everybody. If we take time to slow down

our pace, then we can enjoy art from life and feel the comfortable

lifestyle.

21st century is the century of technology. Nowadays, technology is

everywhere around us. The development of technology has a significant affact

toward the society. Several technologies that we usually use are the internet,

computer, and cellphone. These new technologies make our life much easier and

better.

First, the development of computer changes our life. Decades ago, people

needed to do lots of complex calculation on hand because they did not have

computer, and more obvious, they did not have the software for calculation. As

the result of that, people spent hours on the equations that a computer can

solve in just a minute. Since the development of computer, people are able to

use some kind of software to compute lots of complex functions and mathematical

calculation. Computer becomes the most helpful equipment for the sciencists

because they can use their time more efficiently.

Also, internet is another useful tool for us today. The development of

internet brings a great impact toward the society. Instead of going to library

and fliping all the books to figure out some information, we can just simply use

a mouse and click on the website to do research. The internet leads us to a

place where we can find unlimited information and resources. It makes our life

much easier and better.

The last technology is cellphone. Nowadays, many people have a cellphone.

But it just appears on the market for about 10 years. It is very convenience to

the users because we can talk to anyone we want with a phone as small as a

wallet. Also, we can communicate with others by making a phone call instead of

sending letters. It is very fast and useful way to communicate.

In conclusion, I believe the development of technology brings significant

impact to our life. It is very helpful to us and I believe technology will keep

improving in future.

When the traditional festival comes, everybody is excited about it, because

they will have holiday to relax. The meaning of these festivals is remembered by

the old generation all the time, while some young people do not know. So when we

enjoy the holiday, we need to know more about the traditional culture.

A foreign girl shot a video to ask Chinese young people something about

Mid-autumn festival. To everybody’s surprise, a lot of them did not know the

story about this big day. When I was very small, I have watched many TV series

telling about the myth of Hou Yi and his wife. I learned many Chinese myths and

legends from the shows. Though some people enjoy the festival, they should learn

the culture.

With the development of Chinese economic power, more and more foreigners

are interested in learning Chinese. Some are very crazy about the traditional

culture. They study famous great old poems and novels, treating the great

characters as idols.

The traditional festival is the important way to preserve our culture,

which is the great treasure of human being. We are so proud of it, because it is

priceless.

Our Librar is a busy place.It is open every day from8:00--12:00 in the

morning and from 1:30--5:30 in the after-noon,except on Sundays.

The library contains a large variety of books. in it you will find both

literary and scientific and technical books in Chinese and in foreign

languages.In this building too,are reading-rooms with newspapers and

magazines.Perhaps English books account for over a half of those in foreign

lanuages.

We often go there to look for books which we want to borrow or to read

articles which we like to consult.Our library provides all useful reading matter

and reference materials according to our needs.Although we do not subscribe to

any magazines or newspapers,we are well informed about the recent developments

and new trends in the world as well as in our country.The library plays an

important role in our college life.

Today, I am very happy! Because its the Dragon Boat Festival today! No matter where you go, you can ask for a smell of zongzi. The streets, everywhere to buy dumplings: a small meat meat, meat, egg yolk, meat dumplings, dumplings red dates......

When asked about the fragrance of zongzi, I realized that I was hungry. "Dad! Give me a big meat!" I said. "I want it too, I want it, too!" My sister said. " Dad said, "OK!" Ok! One person, all right. " "Eee!" I said to my sister.

"Well, hmmm! This is delicious, this one is delicious! " I, mom and dad and sister repeatedly praised. Mom said, "now you eat too much, do you want to eat at noon?" I said, "hee - hee, see it at noon." "Its no way to take you!" Linda! Ha ha! " After eating, we went to play badminton.

How happy today it is! I like the Dragon Boat Festival! Oh Yeah!

常常在梦中出现这样一种情景：父亲赤着脚，健步如飞地走在碎石路上，我提着鞋在后面拼命追赶，嘶声喊着：“爸爸，给你鞋……”然后忽然从梦中惊醒，泪水已打涅了枕头。父亲已不在人世了，再也听不到我的呼唤了。然而他那双赤脚却总在我眼前走动。

父亲祖辈是农民，和许多农民一样，夏季总是喜欢打卷赤脚。在稻田里干活时，那厚厚的脚板，粗糙的皮肤，和泥土的颜色一样。粗大的脚从泥水中路进、拔出，是那么轻松自如；

小时候，对父亲不穿鞋的样子，倒不觉得怎样。当他背着我膛过小溪，绕过小山，送我上学时，我感到这双脚既平稳又有力，心里充满了安全感。

随着年龄的增长，我知道赤脚很不雅观，渐渐地开始觉得这双脚既土气又难看了，实在不愿让它与我同行。

一天下着大雨，父亲同许多家长一样来接自己的孩子。当我走出教室，一眼见到爸爸的一双笨拙的大脚，羞愧得我无地自容，以至回家的路上我没跟他说一句话。

就为这。我拒绝了他对我的关心和爱护。我不愿让同学见到他那副模样。尤其是我上了中学，住在宿舍里，每隔一段时间他便带着些吃的东西来看我，但每次总是那副样子。同宿舍的女生们暗暗发笑的神态令我见到亲人的喜悦瞬间变成了不快。

一天黄昏，父亲又来看我，我见他还光着又粗又笨的脚，顿时大声嚷道：“以后穿鞋来好不好?”

父亲愣住了，手中的提袋一下子掉在了地上。可他很快笑了笑，拾起提袋并从里面拿出一些苹果，还塞给我20元钱。

“拿去，照顾好自己，天晚了，我该回去了。”夕阳把父亲矮矮的躯体拉成了瘦又长的影子，我突然发现父亲的背已驼了，脚步蹄珊，再也不像从前那样壮实有力了。

再次来看我时，父亲脚穿一双崭新的皮鞋。“你看，这双鞋好不好看?"那声音是掩饰不住的喜悦与兴奋。而这时我突然感到很心酸，仿佛失去了什么。看到这不协调的鞋与脚，我的心在流泪。此后不久，父亲就不幸病逝了，这双崭新的鞋成了父亲的遗物，常常引起我对父亲的思念。

岁月使我成长，知识使我充实，我学会了思考与判断。赤脚与穿鞋对我已经不重要了，并且我深深懂得了那双紧贴大地的粗笨的脚的朴实与自然。我内心充满了感激与愧疚。

今年我以优异的成绩升入了新的学校。家长会上掌声如雷，我坐在教室一侧，泪眼婆姿地望着家长的座位，多希望从那西装革履中寻找到那双熟悉的泥脚，坚实地路在这里……

In a few days is the National Day, our school will be on holiday then.

The students know the origin of the National Day? Now I introduce you to the students.

On October 1, 1949 the day announced chairman MAO on the tiananmen rostrum, the founding of the Peoples Republic of China.

So this day is called "National Day".

I also saw on TV the peoples liberation army uncle for the motherland people can live a happy happy life, is not afraid of Japan on the battlefield, with their life for our happy and beautiful life today.

And outside people have a holiday back to work and study, and the family reunion together, about this season.

This is my idea of a "National Day", I hope everyone can enjoy a nice holiday.

Environmental protection is every one of us to do, make the responsibility

of each of us, once you live in the earth, you have to protect the environment,

because we want for our children and grandchildren, give them a good living

environment, and not to harm the environment and harm to our children and

grandchildren.

Its our duty to protect the environment, and some people said: this is an

important task, we are a little, it should give the big man to do, we have to do

is not to undermine. In the face of this, many people agree, and I object. In

fact, environmental protection is more than a great thing, or do we all the

citizens of these things, and they will go to the governance, we control our

things, mind your own affairs, because environmental protection from a small

one.

Protecting the environment is a small thing, not throwing away a piece of

garbage, cutting down a tree, not using disposable items... Maybe, if you are

qualified, recycle a piece of garbage, plant a tree, and use one item again...

Its all about protecting the environment, its so simple, you dont have to do

it harder, its just that simple.

Protecting your environment is protecting yourself and your children, and

you dont want to be the end of the world in 2017.

In the young generation, their lifestyle is different from the old

peoples. They like to stay up and join many night activities, then they wake up

very late. The new expression of brunch fits them so much, which means the

people to have a meal combining with breakfast and lunch. But their health is

under threat. Some young peoples stomach hurts and cant digest food well. In

order to keep healthy, we need to do some exercise and eat food regularly.

Whats more, the balanced diet is very important, as the saying that an apple a

day, keeps the doctor away, so we need to eat properly. The healthy lifestyle

makes us live happily.

The moment I go to high school, I have made up my mind to study hard. It is

known to all that the period of high school is the turning point of people’s

life, which may decide my future career. So I know the importance of striving

for my future. The reason why I study so hard are various. First, I want my

parents to be proud of me. When my mothers’ friends come to visit her, they

always brag about how excellent their children are, but my mother would never

take me as the topic, because she does not want me to have the pressure. I

appreciate what my mother does to me and really want her to be proud of me.

Second, If I enter a good university, I can have the promising future. It is

time for me to return my parents’ love.

Its spring now. The weather is warm and comfortable. Its a good time for

hiking. Therefore, my teacher organized a climbing for us. There is a beautiful

mountain in my city and its target this time. We took bus there and arrived

there at 9 p.m.. After we took off the bus, we started to climb. The mountain is

high but the scenery is beautiful. We are so excited that we climbed fast at

first. But after a while, some of us were tired,especially girls. They did not

want to go on anymore. But some others encouraged and helped them. All of us

slowed down our speed, so that no one was left behind. About 11:00 p.m., we got

to the top of the mountain. We were so happy that we did it. We feel that all

the tiredness were worth it.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has all interesting history. Long ago in one of the

dynasties of China there was a king who was very cruel to the people and did not

manage the country well. The people were so angry that some brave ones suggested

killing the king. So they wrote notes telling about the meeting place and time

and put them into cakes.

On the 15th day of the 8th lunar month every person was told to buy the

cakes. When they ate them they discovered the notes. So they gathered together

to make a sudden attack on the king. From then on the Chinese people celebrate

on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month and eat moon cakes in memory of that

important event.

When the Mid-Autumn Festival is near, shop windows are beautifully

decorated. Many moon cakes are displayed for people to buy. People send presents

such aswine, fruits and moon cakes to their friends and relatives. In the

evening of the day, they have a feast. After the feast, they go out to the

garden to look at the moon. The children run and laugh on the streets.

It is believed that the moon is at her brightest on this night. Many poems

have been written about it, and poets are never tired of reading and writing

such poems. In Chinese literature, the moon of the Mid Autumn Festival has been

compared to a looking-glass, a jade rabbit, and so on. It seems that Chinese

literature takes far more interest in the moon than in the sun.
