高中英语感谢作文【合集20篇】

Dear staff，

I am writing to show my sincere gratitude for all of you. Now that I am

home and on my own again I feel extremely happy. During the time I lived at the

Rehabilitation center and was under your tender care, I promised myself I would

write a letter of thanks as soon as I was able.

Abundant thanks to each one of you for your patience, expertise and genuine

concern. It was you who helped me believe in myself and gave me assurance that I

could walk again. I would never forget each word you said to me and the things

you have done to me. Forgive me for the times I lashed out at you in frustration

and thank you for understanding and remaining firm with me.

Never stop your beautiful way of working with people. Your help really

means a lot to me and anyone who in trouble as well.

Affectionately,

Wang Fang

"In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze warms Tu su." In the sound

of firecrackers again and again, we have successfully entered 2020, but in this

year, something unexpected happened - the discovery of a new type of coronavirus

in China. Now, more than 10000 people have been infected with the virus, which

has eclipsed Asian lions

But the virus didnt make us shrink back: when we learned that the epidemic

in Wuhan was extremely bad, many angels in white immediately gave up their

holidays and asked for their orders to go to Wuhan and choose to be a rebel.

Zhong Nanshan was one of them. In 2003, he was ordered to fight against SARS, 17

years later. In 2020, he came to the front again to fight against the new type

of pneumonia. He is 84 years old. He should have enjoyed life at home happily,

but he still sticks to the front line of anti epidemic. Like him, other doctors

and nurses give up the time of reunion with their relatives, fight against the

disease, eat the simplest instant noodles, and fall asleep when they are tired

at any place. They are all the most beautiful reversers. As the saying goes, no

matter what time is quiet, only someone is carrying a load.

Besides them, of course, volunteers have also made great contributions.

Many capable people donate money to Wuhan, such as masks and protective

clothing. A large number of rescue teams went to Wuhan to fight against the new

pneumonia. It is said that if one side is in trouble, all sides should support

it. On January 24, a non-woven fabric enterprise in a town had bright lights,

and the enterprise was putting full power into the production of masks. In order

to meet the needs of the epidemic, the workers who should have taken the leave

gave up the Spring Festival holiday and resolutely returned to work. The factory

director said the workers returned to work three times their wages, ensuring

240000 masks a day and providing materials for medical staff.

Yesterday, my parents were not home. And I had to stay at home by myself for one day and one night. I was very happy at first, because there wouldnt be anyone criticizes my behavior. I can do whatever I want. But later I felt desperate. There was nobody cook for me, asked me to do things or criticized me. I felt empty and desperate as the house is only me. When the night fell, I was afraid. The computer games or the cartoons couldn’t attract my attention. I hate living alone.

昨天，我的父母不在家。我得自己一个人呆上一天一夜。我一开始很开心，因为没人会批评我的行为了。我可以做任何我想做的事。但后来我感到很郁闷。没人给我做饭，没人叫我做事情也没有人批评我。整个房子只有我一个人，我感到很空虚和郁闷。当夜幕降临的时候，我就开始很害怕了。电脑游戏或动画片都无法吸引我的注意。我讨厌一个人生活。

every one has a dream. i have a dream, too. i have a dream that one day i could become a math teacher.

i love math very much, because i think math is quite useful. its useful when people are buying things. its useful when students are learning subjects like physics and chemitry. and its useful when scientists are doing experiments. teachers can not only help students to learn things but also teach the students to apply what they learn into practice.

therefore, i hope to be a math teacher in the future. i want to help more students learn math.

Many people regard money as the most important thing in their life, but I dont agree with them. There are so many things that money cant buy. The first, money cant buy us knowledge, abilities and experience. The second, money cant buy us a happy mood and a good health.

However, money plays a significant role in our daily life. We cant live without it, because we have to use money to buy our daily necessities, like food, drinks, clothes, books, and so on. And we also need money to pay for our houses and education.

All in all, we should have a correct concept of money. We cant live for money, but take it as a tool leading a better life.

整理:

The fields his study， nature was his book.

Travelers can choose different modes of transportation which have advantages and disadvantages. Airplanes are the fastest but also the most expensive. Buses and trains are less expensive， but they soon make you feel cramped and uncomfortable. Ships provide you with comfort unless you get seasick. Most people can afford traveling by bicycle， which， although slow， can limber up your muscles and get you closer to nature.

Parents to our love is meticulous, their love always with us. Now, we want to use the grateful heart to repay their parents.

Parents and nurturing since childhood to the big us, about how much love we pour! Dont we should thank them? Perhaps some people think its no big deal, if this understanding is wrong. In a word, I think parents love is beyond expression. And some let us listen to bother "nag", also contain the parents of our deep love. As they were leaving the mother a charge: "be careful on the road!" , "the road slowly!" Infinite embodies the parents of our caring. On one occasion, my mother said to me he when I rode a bike to school, heart in her throat. Visible parents about how much we care!

Aging parents day by day, but we are growing up day by day. We cannot to parents "winter is warm, summer is part of the morning is province, faint is." At the very least ought to be "parents call, do not delay, parents life, do not lazy, parents teach, must respect, parents, must be suitable bearing. The will, the will face." We must learn to understand, to understand the world parents heart! We should be doing little things for parents, even washing dishes, a tow, wipe the table, poured a glass of water for the parents... Help your parents. To the best of our filial piety.

Parents are our parents, are our partners, and take care of us and raising us. We should thank our parents for us the care and support. You did wrong, parents sometimes harsh rebuke. See the exam is, parents will be criticism, even beat and scold! Dont think their parents what is bad, that is hate iron not to produce! We dont wrong about the hardest thing in the world who love us!

Now, let us learn to Thanksgiving! Have a grateful heart, people become more noble, the world will become more beautiful!

父母对我们的爱是无微不至的，他们的爱时时伴随着我们。现在，我们要用感恩的心来回报父母。

父母把我们从小养育大，对我们倾注了多少爱呀!难道我们不应该感恩他们吗?或许有些人认为这没什么大不了的，如果这样理解就错了。总之，我觉得父母的爱是无法用语言来表达的。又是一些让我们听着烦的"唠叨",也包含着父母对我们深深的爱。临出门时母亲一句嘱咐："路上小心!"，"路上慢点儿!"都体现着父母对我们的无限牵挂。有一次，妈妈对我说他每当我骑着自行车去学校的时候，心都提到了嗓子眼儿。可见父母对我们是多么的牵挂啊!

父母一天一天的衰老了，而我们却一天一天的长大了。我们对父母虽不能"冬则温，夏则凊，晨则省，昏则定。"最起码应该"父母呼，行勿缓，父母命，行勿懒，父母教，须敬听，父母责，须顺承。出必告，反必面。"我们要学会懂事，明白天下父母心!我们应该为父母做一些小事，哪怕是洗一洗碗，拖一拖地，擦一擦桌子，为父母倒一杯水……帮一下父母。尽一下我们的孝心。

父母是我们的家长，是我们的伙伴，也是照顾我们和养育我们的人。我们应该感谢父母对我们的照顾和养育之恩。自己做错了，父母有时会严厉的责备。看是考砸了，父母会批评，甚至打骂!不要认为自己的父母是怎样的不好，那是恨铁不成钢啊!我们不要错怪这世上最疼爱我们的人啊!

现在，让我们学会感恩吧!有了感恩的心，人会变得更高尚，人间也会变得更加美好!

Recently, we often show that shopping online is better than in store, but

is this really the case? Actually, there is no consensus of opinions among

people as to the view of shopping online is better than traditional shopping.

Some people consider that online shopping will replace the mall shopping, stores

will disappear in the future, while others argue that stores would unlikely to

be disappeared, it has its own advantages.

Most people shopping online because it is very convenient, there is no need

to go out, just click the mouse gently, they can buy the goods they want. In

addition, goods online are cheaper than entity shop that buyers can save a lot

of money. But even the coin has two sides. Online shopping also has advantages

and disadvantages. In recent years, we see a lot of news about online cheating,

and many buyers complain about poor quality of the goods, which is different

with the description.

However, the situation above is rare in traditional shopping store, because

the guest can communicate with the seller face to face. Buyers can also see

goods intuitively. But the traditional shopping does not convenience as well as

online shopping, for example, if people meet a traffic jam on the way to the

shopping which will affect the happy mood of shopping.

中秋节，全国各地都在庆祝。街上到处都是人，爱情紧紧相依。每个人都有他的一天。但是，我很孤独。没有人可以抱，没有人亲吻，没有人来谈论!

我无条件地走在街上，看到恋人们亲吻，独自看着烟火，走回来的房间。

突然间，我觉得我必须对自己好。所以我决定给自己一件礼物。我知道我很快就会好起来的，会找到我的Mr.Right。所以今晚，一只小泰迪熊会和我一起睡觉。我知道：我会买另一只泰迪熊作为礼物而不是我自己买的!

陈茉是我的同桌，她是老师和同学眼里的好学生。她每天都是第一个到教室的。

通常，她会花半个小时学习英语。英语需要花比较多的时间去记单词和读课文。陈茉不仅专注于自己的学习，也积极帮助其他有需要的同学。

同学们喜欢找她帮忙，因为她总是那么乐于助人。

但是，在我眼里，她不仅是我的同桌，更是我的朋友。课后，我们经常相互交流，讨论学习问题或是分享彼此的生活。她很喜欢打羽毛球，我也一样。我们常常会在周五下课后打羽毛球，这不仅能使我们得到放松，也有益于我们的身体健康。能有一个拥有相同兴趣爱好的同桌真是太好了。

在中国，高中时期对于学生来说是很重要的，完成高中的课程以后，他们就要上大学。因为我国有很多学生，因此学生不得不参加高考，高考将会决定他们去哪所学校。每个学生在高中都要学很多课程，当第二年到来的时候，学生将要选择一些针对高考的课程。他们要注意的第一件事就是衡量他们擅长的科目。一些学生擅长数学和物理，他们总是不擅长政治，他们应该继续学习理科。一些学生擅长语文和英语，他们应该选择文科。如果学生两者都擅长呢?我会建议他们选择他们感兴趣的科目。

The Origin of Halloween

While there are many versions of the origins and old customs of Halloween, some remain consistent by all accounts. Different cultures view Holloween somewhat differently but traditional Halloween practices remain the same.

Halloween culture can be traced back to the Druids, a Celtic culture in Ireland, Britain and Northern Europe. Roots lay in the feast of Samhain, which was annually on October 31st to honor the dead.

Samhain signifies "summers end" or November. Samhain was a harvest festival with huge sacred bonfires, marking the end of the Celtic year and beginning of a new one. Many of the practices involved in this celebration were fed on superstition.

The Celts believed the souls of the dead roamed the streets and villages at night. Since not all spirits were thought to be friendly, gifts and treats were left out to pacify the evil and ensure next years crops would be plentiful. This custom evolved into trick-or-treating.

万圣节的起源

尽管关于万圣节的起源和旧俗有很多不同的看法，但有一些是被所有人接受的。不同文化看待万圣节总是有点不同，但是传统的万圣节做的事情都是一样的。

万圣节文化可以追溯到德鲁伊教，这是一种爱尔兰、北欧和英国的凯尔特文化，根植于Samhain节的庆祝活动，Samhain节于每年的10月31日纪念逝者。

Samhain节说明夏天结束或者十一月，是一个丰收的节日。在Samhain节会燃起神圣巨大的篝火，标志着凯尔特一年的结束和新一年的开始。一些做法因为迷信被加入庆祝活动中。

凯尔特人相信死者的灵魂会在夜里出没在街道和村庄。因为他们认为不是所有的灵魂都是友善的，所以就把礼物和好吃的留在外面安慰恶灵来确保来年的庄稼可以丰收。这种习俗演变成了trick-or-treating。

诗的遒劲，源于父亲的坚毅；

歌的悠扬，源于父亲的慈祥；

水的洒脱，源于父亲的豪迈。

——题记

逎劲的诗

父亲是一个敦厚的人，平凡而朴实，和大众一样，每天日出日作，日落而息，但不同的是，他有一双深邃而丰富的眼睛，那就是诗，遒劲而坚毅的诗！

感谢您——那双诗般的眼神！

自卑也许源于我脆弱的心灵，那时的我所拥有的只有沉默，孤独是我唯一的伴友。

“走远一点，看深一点，你会收获更多！”父亲只是这样对我说，静静地看看我。

我怯怯地抬起头望着那双期盼着答案的眼睛，又低下了头，慢慢地，我无语。

“是呀，在自卑的世界里，没有欢笑，没有朋友，没有分享，有的只是那永无止境的黑影一片漆黑。”

此时，我似乎在那片黑暗中发现了一点星光，走近，走近，啊，更亮了！是父亲坚毅的眼光，那是他的希望之所在呀！“自卑的人永远都抬不起头！”我读懂了。

感谢您——我的父亲。

悠扬的歌

澎湃的大海奏出雄鹰展翅，温和的小溪淌着低调的音弦，慈祥的父亲用他粗糙的双手演奏着悠扬的歌。

感谢您——那双歌般的手。

考试成绩如流水一般渲泄在我的心头，沉重、痛苦、沮丧如一触即发的弦紧紧地系在我的心头，考试结果如一汪污水，又臭又烂，我……

“爸爸，成绩已经出来了，我……”我小声地想将成绩如实托出，可被父亲堵截了。

“不用向我汇报，只要努力就好。”他粗糙的手轻轻地抚着我的头，如一缕月光洒下一片薄纱，柔柔的，软软的，好舒服！

此时的我似乎找到了答案：不要只看重结果，更要注重过程。

感谢您——我的父亲。

洒脱的水

父亲没有水的缠绵，没有水的热情，有的只是水的洒脱，以及那种韧劲！

感谢您——那水般的面庞。

那一天，我拖着无形的脚移动在回家的路上，只因为我被骗了。

如实地报告给家长，“别记在心里，也许别人有急用，不得已而为之的，算了吧。”父亲如是说。

我抬起头看着那张历经苍桑的脸庞，一股强大的力量向我袭来，我感受到了：“凡事要学会看开，洒脱一点，心情才会舒畅一点。”

感谢您——我的父亲。

在这“晴空一鹤排云上，便引诗情到碧霄”的秋季里，飒爽的秋风吹进了我的心，吹开了我感恩的心。

Currently,self-confidence has become the order of our life, which improves the theorythat nothing is more valuable than self-confidence.

如今，自信已经融入了我们的生活中了，这也就证明了没有什么能够比自信更有价值。

Itis obvious that self-confidence means trust in one’s ability. If we are full ofself-confidence, we’ll have creative power to live and work, helping us successor dreams come true. On the contrary, if we have no confidence in ourselves,there will be little possibilities for us to win. We’ll always face failure.

很明显，自信意味着对一个人能力的信任。如果我们充满自信，我们在生活和工作中就会有创造力，帮助我们成功或者实现我们的梦想。相反，如果我们对自己没有信心，我们取胜的可能性就很小。我们总是要面对失败。

What’smore, no one can deny another fact that self-confidence gives us light when wewalk in the dark and courage when we face stumbling blocks. Withself-confidence, we can achieve goals in our life.

再者，没有人能否认这样一个事实，当我们游走在黑暗时，自信能能给予我们光明，当我们遭遇不顺时，自信能给予我们勇气。有了自信我们可以实现生活中的目标。

Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi Cuccittini ( born 24 June 1987) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club FC Barcelona and is the captain for the Argentina national team.

By the age of 21, Messi had received Ballon dOr and FIFA World Player of the Year nominations. The following year, in 2009, he won his first Ballon dOr and FIFA World Player of the Year awards. He followed this up by winning the inaugural FIFA Ballon dOr in 2010, and then again in 2011 and 2012. He also won the 2010–11 UEFA Best Player in Europe Award. At the age of 24, Messi became Barcelonas all-time top scorer in all official club competitions. In September 2014 he scored his 400th senior career goal for club and country aged just 27. In November 2014, Messi became the all-time top scorer in La Liga, and the all-time leading goalscorer in the UEFA Champions League.

Often ranked as the best player in the world and rated by some in the sport as the greatest of all time, Messi is the first football player in history to win four FIFA/Ballons dOr, all of which he won consecutively, and the first to win three European Golden Shoe awards. With Barcelona, Messi has won six La Ligas, two Copas del Rey, six Supercopas de Espa?a, three UEFA Champions Leagues, two UEFA Super Cups and two FIFA Club World Cups.

Messi is the only player to top-score in four consecutive Champions League seasons, and also holds the record for the most hat-tricks scored in the competition with five. In March 2012 he made Champions League history by becoming the first player to score five goals in one match. He also matched José Altafinis record of 14 goals in a single Champions League season. In the 2011–12 season, Messi set the European record for most goals scored in a season with 73 goals, set the goalscoring record in a single La Liga season with 50 goals, and became the first player ever to score and assist in six different official competitions in one season. In February 2013 he scored his 300th Barcelona goal. On 30 March 2013, Messi scored in his 19th consecutive La Liga game, becoming the first footballer in history to net in consecutive matches against every team in a professional football league. He extended his record scoring streak to 21 consecutive league matches. In March 2014, with a hat-trick against Real Madrid, Messi became the player with the most goals and most hat-tricks in the history of El Clásico. In October 2014, Messi, aged 27, became the youngest player to score 250 goals in La Liga. In November 2014, Messi scored a hat-trick against Sevilla to reach 253 La Liga goals, becoming the all-time top scorer in La Liga. Later that month, he scored his 74th Champions League goal to become its all-time leading scorer.

Messi helped Argentina win the 2005 FIFA U-20 World Cup, finishing as both the best player and the top scorer (with six goals). In 2006, he became the youngest Argentine to play and score in the FIFA World Cup, and won a runners-up medal at the Copa América in 2007, in which he was named young player of the tournament. In 2008, he won an Olympic Gold Medal with the Argentina Olympic football team. At the 2014 World Cup, he led Argentina to the final, winning four consecutive Man of the Match awards in the process, and received the Golden Ball award as the best player of the tournament. In 2013, SportsPro rated him the second-most marketable athlete in the world. His playing style and stature have drawn comparisons to compatriot Diego Maradona, who himself declared Messi his "successor".
