英语作文新年计划(最新20篇)

光阴似箭，日月如梭，转眼间，20x年就要来了，新的一年要有新的开始，下面我就来说说我的新年计划吧。

我的首要任务是提高学习成绩。去年我的学习成绩没有取得很大的突破，在新学年里，我要把各科的考试成绩都提高到95分以上！

首先是语文：上学期语文考试我主要栽在了生字上，针对这一点，我给自己定下了计划――每天写两页生字，还要制作一个错字本，把平时写错的字归类整理，反复复习。其次是数学：一提到数学我就懊悔不已，在上学期的数学考试中，有好几道我明明会做的题最后都因为计算错误丢了分，不是漏了小数点，就是看错了数字，比如将数字“9”看成了“6”，这几次“阴沟翻船”的经历让我下定决心要摘掉“马虎大王”的帽子，对于数学，我要采用迂回战术，仔细再仔细，检查再检查，争取每次考试都取得100分。最后是英语：英语可是我的强项，但也不能掉以轻心，在新学期，我计划每天早晨都听上一段英语听力磁带，一天之计在于晨，我相信只要持之以恒，我的英语成绩就会更上一层楼。

我的第二个新年计划是要练出一手好字。

我们班xx同学的字写得特别好，无论是铅笔字还是钢笔字，他都能写得飘逸隽秀。因为他的字写得好，老师们都喜欢找他帮忙抄写文章，班上的黑板报也由他负责。有一次，语文老师还在班上表扬他说：“xx的字写得好，参加中考、高考等重要考试时，他的卷面整洁，字迹漂亮，这能给改卷老师留下好印象，为考试加分！”我的字写得不大好，在考试时还经常在试卷上涂涂改改，老师也经常扣掉我的卷面分。听老师说把字写好还能为考试加分，我不禁蠢蠢欲动。在新的一年里，我决心要把字练得和xx一样好，不但要整洁，还要写出美感。我向xx打听了，他练的是司马懿的字帖，我也打算买一本司马懿的字帖，每天练两页。听说练字还能陶冶性情、培养毅力呢！这恰好能改掉我做事不专心的坏习惯。

总之，在新的一年里，我会更加努力，争取在德、智、体、美、劳等方面取得更大的进步！

My summer holiday began on july.8,i plan to go to travel in my summer holiday.i will travel to zhangjiajie.i will go there by train.i will travel with my mother and my father and other friends.i will travel for five days.i also plan to do my homework in my summer holiday.i think i will have a good time.

yesterday,we didn‘t have cars.but today we have.yesterday,we didn‘t have tv sets.but today we have.yesterday we didn‘t have computers.but today we have.during the hundreds of years,how fast the world has changed！that‘s really a myth.

though the new world brings us a convenient life.it also brings more problems.for example,population,resources ,environment and so on.

we know that the world‘s population is growing faster and faster. it‘s more than 6 billion now.it‘s a very big number.we can say the number of world‘s population is like the number of the stars in the universe.and if it goes on like that,i can‘t image what will happen.

as the second problem,the world is short of resources now.in daily life,we need water,rock oil,coal and other things.day after day,the resources disappear fast.and they won‘t appear.because most of them are not renewable resources.

The summer holiday is approaching. Our class have had a heat discussion about what to do during the vocation.

Some agree to staying at home. They think it’s convenient and comfortable. What’s better, they can save some money for some other purposes. But they will lose a chance to get to know the outside world. However, others prefer to go out for travelingbecause it can increase their knowledge and broaden their views. But it will take them more money and meet some more difficulties while traveling.

In my opinion, it would be much better to stay at home, for I can do what I like, such as reading books, watching TV, and helping my parents with the housework.

暑假即将来临。我们班有一个讨论热放假期间该做什么。

一些同意待在家里。他们认为这是方便和舒适。更好的是,他们可以节省一些钱用于其他目的。但是他们可能会失去一个机会去了解外面的世界。然而,另一些人喜欢出去旅游,因为它可以增加他们的知识和拓宽自己的视野。但需要更多的钱,旅行时遇到一些困难。

在我看来,这将是更好的呆在家里,因为我可以做我想做的事,如读书、看电视,并帮助我的父母做家务。

Dear teacher

Hello!

Im writing to you again. Its the new year. 2020 is coming and 2021 is

coming. Do you look forward to the holidays again and again, just like us? But

every time we go home, we are speeding up our separation.

Forgive the students for talking about such a sad topic in this jubilant

time. 2020 is the difference, it is tension, it is pressure, it is sentimental.

2020 will change a lot and take away a lot. It will take away our best three

years and the time we spend together. It passed, it will never come back,

leaving only memories. What is good as long as the heart is together, isnt it

even more painful when the heart is together but people are not around? It also

said that there was no emotion at that time, and it came true when you said that

you would walk away. However, the feelings between you and us have been deeply

rooted and can not be broken at all, so it is inevitable to be sad.

There is no feast that will never end. We have been together for three

years. Isnt it just a gift from God? Teacher, you should believe that it is

fate to meet us and good fortune to meet you. Over the past three years, we have

cried and laughed together. When we have to leave, we cant help but stir up

emotions. At this time, no one will feel superfluous. No ones heart is made of

iron. You should know that everyone has been remembering your good, your smile

and the way you stand behind the door in the past three years. Even if you are

angry, you will always come to the class unconsciously and take a look at us.

You are really worried.

But your worry is not in vain. Now, although some people have learned to

smoke, drink and make friends, those people are still grateful to you, but they

are not good at expressing themselves. In other words, Thanksgiving is like

"fruit of human body". Once it blooms in three thousand years and bears fruit in

four thousand years, its seeds are planted in my heart early. Although it grows

slowly, it has great power when it grows.

You said that in the self-study class, we dont study hard. We look at the

watch and glance at the teacher. We are so cute. But when you are looking at us,

we are also looking at you. Moreover, you look up and you always frighten

us.

The last excellent diary of this semester has changed. It is not happy and

naive, but full of sadness and maturity. In that class, everyone was thinking of

something in their hearts. It was from the heart and could not be covered up. It

was the most significant excellent diary ever.

I think there is no literary talent, like every excellent diary, everyone

will think hard about what to write. Even if they do, they cant write anything.

But now, writing this topic, everyone has a lot to say. As long as the heart, is

a good article.

Old wusky once described the scene of a year: when we came back one day and

wanted to see you, you had to call the guard and tell them to let us in before

we could enter the campus. Come to your class, not only you and me, but also a

group of students waiting to grow up like us at that time. Looking at them, I

think of myself. What happened in the New Glasgow is unfolding in front of us.

However, people are not those people anymore.

Its so sad. Old wusky is great.

At noon, I have been dreaming for half a day. In the dream, we have

graduated. All of a sudden, everything moves up, and the essence is condensed

into a small world. Its just in the air, playing everything weve been doing

for three years. When it disappeared, we all cried, and simply broke into the

small world. Everything in the small world has not changed at all, that is our

three years, but we can not touch it. We saw our performance at that time, so

proud. I saw you and wanted to talk to you, but you ignored me. I envy myself at

that time, tears stop in the eyes.

Teacher, how I wish that small world really exists! Teacher, the feelings

of the past three years are not clear. I cant find any words, a sentence to

describe our previous feelings, which only those of us who have experienced can

understand. But everyone wants to express, cherish and grasp.

Teacher, thank you! Thank you for your meticulous care when we are ill,

thank you for your restraint when we indulge, and thank you for the punishment

when we make mistakes. Each of us is a piece of white paper, you can sketch

everything on it. Thank you for sketching so many beautiful things, bitter and

sweet, let us have a good start.

Teacher, Im sorry, please forgive our treason. Every time we make a

mistake, you will say, "or a child?" this is to comfort us, but also to comfort

yourself. But we dont understand you. We always misunderstand you, blame you,

get angry with you, and dislike you all day. Its not good here and there. In

fact, we also know that you are indeed a good teacher.

Teacher, please forgive these children, please fall in love with these

children, please remember these children These children will never forget

you.

Elves

如果，你也有新年计划，请你也像我一样，写下来吧！

Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.

The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese an extra month once every few years. This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year.

New Years Eve and New Years Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth, the gods of the household and the family ancestors.

The sacrifice to the ancestors, the most vital of all the rituals, united the living members with those who had passed away. Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundations for the fortune and glory of the family.

The presence of the ancestors is acknowledged on New Years Eve with a dinner arranged for them at the family banquet table. The spirits of the ancestors, together with the living, celebrate the onset of the New Year as one great community. The communal feast called "surrounding the stove". It symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations
