高中给爸爸的一封信汇编两篇 作文英语(最新20篇)

One sunday afternoon when I was learning to ride my bike, I fell down and

hurt my arms badly. As soon as my parents heard this, they took me to the

hospital at once.

During my stay in bed, they took good care of me and cheered me up.

Meanwhile, they helped me with my lessons. With their help, I caught up with my

classmates. Now ill try my best to study well to repay my parents.

Hailey: Hey Johnny, you are looking extra cool today yeah! I am sure that

you could be the winner of this year’s best speech. The judge is the most

popular girl in school Janet Cross Ward! Good luck to you Johnny!

Johnny: Thanks Hailey and good luck to you too, I like the sash, ha!

Hailey and Johnny both thought that they were going to tie, but suddenly

their father said, “Hailey, Johnny, come here please!” “Coming,” said Hailey and

Johnny rushing towards their father, “Please help me open these packages the

teacher gave you.”

Hailey: Hey, Johnny I love packages, what do you think it is?

Johnny: Don’t know Hailey, but I guess that we will just have to find out

on our own by untying the knots to find out, because that is the best way.

Johnny began examining the knot and to untie it; at last he untied the knot

and found it inside a piece of paper, and on it were some words for the speech.

Hailey on the other hand was trying to untie the knot, but couldn’t do it just

like Johnny did; she became very, very frustrated.

Hailey: Oh! I wish that these silly people won’t tie these strings to

tight; I can’t even get it untied! Johnny, how did you do it? I’m

astonished?

Johnny: Oh, I just examined the knot to untie it, I love that idea!

Hailey still couldn’t untie it; at last she made up her own mind.

Hailey: That it is, I shall cut it up, and besides it is a package, right?

Oh how I wish I knew what is inside my package! Give a knife!

Johnny: Oh don’t cut it Hailey! What nice piece of string this is!

Hailey: What signifies a bit of thick string that is useless in the

future?

Johnny: It is whipcord, Hailey; don’t you know anything that this string

could be of use to us? This could even be our only hope in the future!

Hailey: Whipcord? Well then, what signifies a bit of whipcord; we don’t

even need it in our speech! Besides, the whipcord is a package string.

The speech began, Johnny read his lines perfectly, and even did a dance

with his string. For Hailey she read her lines perfectly but couldn’t do any

dance; and so the winner was no other than Johnny.

Hailey: Maybe the string made you lucky Johnny, but next time the string

will cause you trouble; I am warning you again Johnny.

The next month, there was an aim competition and Johnny is going to compete

with his sister Hailey. And so it is Johnny Vs Hailey. The competition began;

the only audience was Mr. Lolo.

Mr. Lolo: Okay, Hailey is first to aim with her bow; remember the rules, if

her string breaks there is no allowed borrowing!

And so Hailey was up, she aimed her bow at 8 and got 80 points; her second

aim landed on 9; and so she got 90+80=170 points! She was about to aim until her

string broke, Hailey had no other string to tie it onto, and so there a chance

that the audience Mr. Lolo would say…

Mr. Lolo: You’re out, Hailey! No prize for you, Hahahahahaha; okay, Johnny

your up! Wish you good luck! Break a leg! Ha!

And so Johnny was up, he lifted up his arrow and aimed perfectly on ten,

and so he got 100 points; his second aim missed and landed on 9; he got

100+90=190 points; he liked Hailey broke a string on the last aim too, and so

Mr. Lolo had another chance of saying the word…

Mr. Lolo: You’re out! Ha! No prize for you too, Hahahahahaha; okay…

Mr. Lolo didn’t even finished when Johnny pulled out the string from his

pocket and tied it onto the bow; then he made his aim and won the prize. Hailey

told Johnny after the competition…

Hailey: I’m sorry Johnny, I congratulate you! And you’re right, I should

have kept the string; next time I will keep one if I have a chance.

I am ten years old. I like playing piano. And I have a good teacher. She is

beautiful, just like the fairy from the heaven. She likes wearing white dress.

Her hair is long and straight. And her fingers are the most beautiful I have

ever seen. They are long and thin. She can use them to play wonderful songs. I

feel pleasant when I hear her songs. I want to be as excellent as her in the

future.

我十岁了。喜欢弹钢琴。我有一个很好的老师。她很漂亮，就像天上的仙女一样。她喜欢穿白色的衣服。她的头发又长又直。她的手指是我见过最漂亮的，又细又长。她可以用它们来演奏美妙的歌曲。听她的歌我会很愉悦。将来我也想成为像她一样优秀的人。

Since I was very small, my parents sent me to learn painting. They thought

I could understand art and mastered one skill. This experience brings me the

sense of art. I have my own understanding of it.

On the one hand, art is an important way to express peoples opinion. When

we see the pictures, the difference between classical and ordinary paintings

lies in the thoughts. The famous artists implant their ideas in the pictures,

which are admitted by the public, so the value of arts can be seen. Some famous

artists expressed their unique opinion and gives arts great meaning.

On the other hand, art is not only from works, but also from life. For

example, my mother cooks the delicious food. Everybody speaks highly of her. So

her food brings people great happiness, which makes the food an art for me.

Whats more, my friends is good at communicating. The way she talks can convince

other easily, so I call the way she communicates as an art.

In all, for me, art is around. It brings people a way to see the world or

makes our life wonderful.

There is an old Chinese saying: Top students come from strict teachers.

Perhaps affected by this saying for a long time, we believe it right. However,

as time flies, lots of things have changed. Therefore, I am eager to discuss

what relation is the best between teachers and students.A teacher can treat a

student in two ways .One is strict, and the other is friendly. Most teachers

prefer the first way.To start with, we certainly have to admit that strictness

is very effective, especially to the naughty pupils.

As pupils we aren’t able to control ourselves well or fix our attention on

one thing for a long time. We do most things because they are interesting or we

feel like doing. We are always looking out of the window in class. Sometimes, we

get to play games and forget our homework. On this occasion, strictness is a

must. It not only forces us to do the right thing, but also helps us develop a

good learning habit, which is of great importance during our whole life .In

other words, it is the first step to success.Still, everything has two sides.

Its weak points are very obvious. You see, there’re top students in a class,

where average students make up the majority. Then teachers’ orders or

suggestions are for the majority, not for top students. However, top students

always have their own study plans and prefer special homework, so orders usually

won’t take great effect on them.

Maybe you have thought out that teachers can give orders only to the

majority and set some freedom to top students. However, it’s impossible .For a

whole class, teachers couldn’t give order to part of the class, for the majority

would question why they needn’t do such work, but we need? It would be probable

that they think teachers treat them not equally, and will not obey teachers’

orders any more. This is a difficulty for teachers.It also has another

disadvantage——the communication problem .Since teachers are strict, we never

tell teachers our personal affairs or secrets. Mostly we just tell them to our

friends, but as students too, they couldn’t help to solve our problem, such as

puppy love, communication problems or study problems .Not being solved

completely, they always disturb us, influencing our daily life and study. I’m

sure that you think that making friends with teachers can solve the problem, and

you are eager to do so as well. But if we do so, new problems will come out .You

see, an adult couldnt control himself well at times, let alone us students.

However if teachers are our friends, I doubt whether their orders will take

effect any more .You see, have we ever treated our friends’ orders as orders? We

think they’re only jokes. This is another difficulty for teachers.Additionally,

our parents have the same problem. Yes, we need to be friends, but not complete

friends. We need to keep a certain distance, making us communicate well and

willing to take your orders. I remember a story.One day, a lady had her rest

room decorated. And a skilled worker was bricking up the wall. Seeing large

cracks between the bricks, she questioned why. The worker told her after this

summer, the bricks would become bigger, and those cracks would disappear.That is

not only decoration, but also communication. The principle is the same.

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。

我认为中秋节是中国古老的传统节日。每个人都喜欢它，因为它是一个家庭聚会。你看它被称为“中秋节”，所以通常在九月或十月。这是在农历八月十五日。现在，让我们谈谈这个有趣的节日。

首先，我想谈谈月亮问题。我非常喜欢它，因为我希望将来成为一名宇航员。那天月亮是圆的，大的，就像一块美丽的盘子挂在蓝色的布上。我看到月亮，我会记得古老的神话 - 长女和她的小兔子正在吴刚生长的树下玩耍。我也会想到阿姆斯特朗的第一次月球漫步。我也会想念台湾的朋友们岛上，澳门和国外的中国人。我知道他们也非常想念我们。

其次，我要谈谈中秋节的传统。看!中国家庭的花园里有一棵大树。所有的家庭成员都坐在树下的一张大桌子旁边露天。他们正在吃月饼，欣赏天空中的满月。这是一个家庭聚会晚餐。月饼和月亮代表了一个家庭的爱。我认为这是世界上最有价值的东西之一。

第三，这是一个非常好的机会，在中秋节做出三个愿望。我的愿望是：第一，我，未来的宇航员，有一天想去月球，和天空和星星呆在一起; 第二，我希望世界上每个人都能和家人在一起，永远地与家人分享爱意; 第三，我希望每个人的梦想都是真的。

那是我心中的中秋节。我将永远重新成员：东方或西方，家是最好的。

Since the swallow had brought back the prince’s red gem, he could at last

stay; but one night as soon as he was about to return to the Egypt, the happy

prince said to the little swallow, “OH little swallow, please stay with me for

one last night?” the swallow replied, “Oh dear prince, I couldn’t stay with you

any longer, my friends are waiting for me and…” “Oh please little swallow, you

must obey me;” the swallow sighed and said, “All right I shall stay with you for

one last night.”

The swallow then took a breath, after that he continued, “What is the

request that you want me to do dear prince?” the prince said to the swallow,

“See that poor old man writing a story, he is very hungry; and I could tell by

his face,” “What do you want me to give to him dear prince?” asked the swallow,

as if he had so many questions to ask; “I want you to take out my blue eye ball,

it is like a gem, and bring it to the man so that he could finish his act; and

be happy once more.”

At these words the swallow said, “OH my dear prince, I couldn’t do that! I

swear! Because…” “No little swallow, you must do what I say, and help that poor

man!” at these words, the swallow had no choice but to obey, he took out the

other prince’s eye; with a squeak, as if he was helping the poor prince to

recover from his pain.

When the swallow flew to the man with the blue sapphire gem, he felt the

warm wind of the spring dancing around in his brain. When he arrived, he placed

the gem under the man’s face, and flew back to the prince. When he returned, the

prince asked the swallow, “Did you succeed?” asked the prince joyfully, “I did,

and I hope the man enjoys it too.

The man awoke eventually, when he saw the blue sapphire gem; he said

happily, “What on the world is this? somebody actually likes my plays, yes! Now

I can finish my play;” and he began to write. The next day, the swallow flew

away to Egypt and before that he said to the prince, “I am going to fly away to

Egypt today and…” “Oh please little swallow, oh please can you stay with me for

one last night?” but the swallow was very satisfied, “But, dear prince; I can’t

do that, my friends are waiting for me and it is getting colder and colder here;

I have to go to Egypt, where the sun is hot, and it is warm and cool there;”

“You must little swallow, you must stay with me for one last night,” “Dear

prince, I couldn’t and…” “Swallow this can’t be, you have to stay with me; I

command you!” the little swallow had no choice but to obey.

“Okay prince, what is your command?” “See that poor little girl on the

road, she is selling matches; it is Christmas day, and she hadn’t even sold one

match. But she dares not to go home; because her father was a cruel man, and he

would punish her and hit her hard and say mean words to her if she doesn’t bring

home any money. She is crying bitterly, and I want you to do something that I

want; which is very important, I now realize that helping people is good since

it feels good.”

“Well what do you suggest me to do dear prince?” “I want you to take my

sword’s red gem off again, and give it to her so that she can bring home,” “OH

my dear prince!” shouted the swallow in the loudest voice, “I can’t do that, you

will lose your sword’s red gem and…” “No swallow, you must do what I tell you,

or face your doom!” and so the swallow brought the red gem to the little girl by

wings, the little girl looks at it and smiled, “That is nice! But it is still

not enough as my father wished me to give it to him;” then she began to sigh and

cry again, the swallow heard what the girl had just said; he said to himself,

“What a picky girl!” when he flew back, he didn’t tell the prince the message

that he had just received from the little girl; but he still was very cold.

He knew that since he did not help the poor little girl, he felt bad; and

so that was the reason why he was cold. He was very sad; and when he was about

to fly to Egypt, the prince said to the swallow, “I see that you are very sad

these days; I wonder what is the matter, tell me?” the swallow did not speak,

the prince forced the swallow to tell him; but he still didn’t say anything. At

last the prince said, “If you don’t tell me I will put dynamites on your head

and blow you up! I was trying to help you!”

At these words the swallow was so scared that he said out loud, “I heard

the little girl say that that wasn’t enough to pay for his father, and so I

didn’t tell you because I thought that you would not like it and…”

“Oh my dear swallow, why on earth would you think I will not help a little

girl? And why on earth would you not tell me about this?” the spell was broken,

the prince turned to real life, and jumped down from the statue’s stand, “Thank

you dear swallow, you have broke the spell, and now I can live on land once

more.

That was the end of the happy prince. During the lives when he was a golden

statue, he realized how important everybody was to him, and that how important

helping people is.

In the summer holiday， I will visit some places of interest in southern

China. By visiting these places I can learn a lo In the summer holiday， I will

visit some places of interest in southern China.

By visiting these places I can learn a lot about our brilliant national

culture. I will visit the Suzhou Gardens， the West Lake， Lu Xuns former

residence and so on. I think I can broaden my horizon of our countrys culture

during the holiday. It is very helpful and interesting.

I went to the countryside to spend my summer holidays this year. I liked

green plants， clear rivers lovely amimals breathed the fresh air on the mountain

sometimes i went swimming in the river. I kept a diary every day.

I liked not the scene of the countryside， the people there. i helped them

to do farm work. i also helped the children in the neighbourhood with their

lessons. the children were interested in english. they were good at reading

writing， not do well in listening speaking. i helped them improve their

listening speaking. their parents thought highly of me. i realized that

knowledge is greatly needed in the countryside.

When I go to school, I find my classmates are talking about something, so I

ask my friend when they are talking. He tells me that there is a rumor about our

headmaster. Everybody is gossiping about it. I am very curious and talk to a lot

of friends. In the end, the rumor is turned to be wrong. I feel so sorry to

spread the news. I learn the lesson that I should respect others.

爸爸：

您好,我有许多话想对您说,却不知道从何说起,现在我就借着这封信和您沟通一下。爸爸，您为了这个家日夜操劳，非常辛苦，为我们能够过好日子，您付出地了太多太多了，可您的脾气也不知不觉的变坏了，而您或许没感觉到。

白天，您早地上班，晚上您拖着疲惫的身躯回到家中，一次，晚上我因贪玩睡的有些晚了，您回来看到我没睡时，便大发雷霆，大大发雷霆，大声呵斥我赶快睡觉，当时您的先前我懂，工作了一天心情有些急噪，身体非常疲乏，可是您可以心平气和地对我，您知道吗？当时我吓的大气都不敢出。

还有一次，妈妈买了一件又漂亮又昂贵的衣服，您一问价格，心疼的不住的埋怨，妈妈生气的将衣服扔在地上，结果您与妈妈几天都不说话，爸爸您也知道，节约是传统的美德，您从小贫穷，过惯了苦日子，非常简朴，可妈妈是女性，爱美之心人皆有之，把自己打扮的漂亮一些也不过分，爸爸您可以换一种说法，也许妈妈还会愉快的接受呢。

爸爸你知道吗？我们不想看到那个脾气暴躁、动不动就生气的父亲，女儿想看到的是一个和蔼、温和的爸爸，如果你的脾气改一下，那我们家该是多么幸福、和谐呀！欢声笑语充满了我们家，温馨、和谐的家不正是你所希望的吗？女儿期盼着……

爸爸，现在人们生活条件越来越好了，您也吃胖了，也该减减肥了。

〈其实爸爸脾气很好，我们经常“欺负”爸爸，这只不过是因为迫于无奈，为了完成老师布置的作业，只好在此严重的“诋毁”了爸爸那美好的形象，可不许告诉爸爸哟！〉

Dear friends:

If you can dream it, you can do it.——Walt Disney

It was a long four years. Even after I had actually graduated, the

nightmares began to haunt me, the university would call to say I hadn’t truly

graduated. There had been a mistake and there was just one more class I needed

to take. I was always so relieved to wake up and realize that it had only been a

bad dream. In reality, I had completed every course needed for my degree, and I

was a full-fledged college graduate!

Now, the rest of my life loomed ahead of me. Sometimes a bachelor’s degree

prepares you for a specific occupation——you train to be an accountant, you

graduate and get a position in an accounting firm. Often, however, your stint in

college only prepares you to make further decisions regarding your future.

You’re pretty sure what you don’t want to do!

During my senior year of college, I had toyed with the idea of changing my

major. At that point, I had finally discovered what captured my heart. But,

wanting to finally be finishing school was a stronger pull. So, I took a few

courses in physiology and exercise science, but not enough to receive a degree

in physical therapy. That would require advanced schooling, beyond my bachelor’s

degree——and I just wasn’tready to tackle that. Having completed my B.C. degree,

I didn’t have any intentions of furthering my education.

So, I did the safe thing and got an office job——the very thing I was sure

that I didn’t want to do! I detested the office policies, the suits I had to

wear and the downtown environment that I had to drive to every day. I knew this

was not where I belonged.

But god knew what path my career was to follow. A position opened up at the

most exclusive health club in our city, so I applied. This was my kind of

environment——an active, vibrant kind of place——completely at the opposite end of

the spectrum from the office environment where I found myself. The position

required that I work Saturday nights and Sunday mornings. Perfect, I thought! I

could keep my office job Monday through Friday and work at my dream job on the

weekends. This arrangement lasted several months until, eventually, a full-time

position opened up and I was able to resign from my office job.

Over the next few years, I worked my way up the leader, gaining experience

in several different departments. I found my niche as the director of member

services——catering to our clientele and providing them with numerous

cutting-edge programs. I would have stayed at that job forever——it seemed to be

the pinnacle of all my dreams fulfilled. Here were fellow employees who had a

passion for the same things that I did——health and fitness. Yet again, god had

other plans for my life.Within two years, a newer, bigger, better and more

state-of-the-art health club facility was built——just five miles down the road.

And, in turn, the owner lost many members to that club. And, in turn, the owner

lost thousands of dollars. One by one we were each laid off.

After trying unsuccessfully to land another similar position elsewhere, I

knew what I had to do. Go back to school!thanks!

She has two cats. One cat is black. The other cat is white. The black cat’s

name is Blacky. The white cat’s name is Whitey. She feeds her cats. She puts

their food in dishes. She puts each dish on the floor. She calls her cats. They

come into the kitchen. They eat the food.

Dear Petty,

I am happy to receive your letter and I am glad to hear that you have good

days recently. I hope you can keep your happiness all the time. But I am not

happy these days, because I feel great pressures. Two weeks ago, I caught a cold

and then had a fever. I could do nothing in those days. Therefore, I asked for

leave for four days to stay at home. I came back to school until the midterm

examination. I was not surprised that I did not do well in the exam. It makes me

unhappy. I worked so hard to prepare for it. My parents comfort me that I would

be better if I had not been ill. I hope I can recover soon. And I hope you can

take good care of yourself.

sincerely yours,

Kate

Dear teacher x

Hello!

The new year is coming. First of all, Id like to give you a new years

greeting: I wish you good health and all the best!

In the past semester, you have worked hard for us. We all thank you!

Teacher, you have made a lot of sweat for us. Today Im here to talk to you.

You are a good teacher who cares about students. I remember that in the

last semester, a classmate in my class had a fever. When the news reached your

ears, you took him to the clinic. Not only that, but also to him.

You are more nervous than us near the final exam, so we often have an extra

class after school to make up for it. Some students complain that the teacher

should not leave us, but you dont care what they say. Help the students who

dont understand from time to time and teach them solutions so that they can

understand. We will ask you for advice when we encounter problems that we cant,

and you will explain them to us patiently.

Here, I sincerely say: "teacher, you work hard!"

Ah! Dear teacher, you give your wisdom with love. I salute you silently

from my heart. There are poems to prove it

Ode to the gardener

Teacher, you are the beacon of learning sea,

We are sailing boats.

Three feet platform,

a poor but honest person.

You burn with passion,

We have built the students splendid achievements.

My alma mater is the cradle of dreams,

The teacher is the hand that weaves the cradle.

Teacher, you have worked hard,

You work hard and gain hope.

Hello, teacher,

You are the most romantic.

How well is the poem "sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening

things silently". Teacher, arent you just like the spring rain in poetry?

Working in obscurity, you have cultivated generations of pillars, but you dont

ask for any return. Teacher, arent you just like the hard gardener? After hard

work, you finally smell the fragrance of peach and plum. "When the silkworms

die, the silk will be exhausted, and the wax torch will become gray and the

tears will dry." this is your true portrayal; addition, subtraction,

multiplication and division can not count as your contribution; poems and songs

can not praise your admiration. Teacher, let me say to you again: "hard

work!"

I wish you:

Good health, happy holidays!

Your students

Most westerners always celebrate Christmas Day as their major festival, in

order to memorialize Jesus. During that time, they always have several days off,

so they can enjoy this festival with all their hearts. The children often get

together with their friends. The adults are busy with decorating their houses.

They also send the postcards with their best wishes to each other. In the

streets, there are so many Fathers Christmas sending presents to the passers-by.

And everything is on a discount in the supermarkets. Thus the supermarkets are

the busiest places.

In the evening, the families usually have pudding, sandwiches, apple pies

and some other desserts for dinner. After supper, the families always sing and

dance around the Christmas tree. Sometimes, they also go to church. Before going

to bed, the children often hang up their stockings beside their bed, so that

Father Christmas will fill them with presents. It is said that Father Christmas

always drives a deer to the human world and entering into each house from the

chimney. Now the children no longer believe in Father Christmas, but they still

hang up their stockings, because their parents will fill them with presents.

Hello, everyone, my name is Yang she, this year Im nine years old, from

changzhi city XiangYuanXian, hope everyone support me a lot.

Every year on June 27 is my birthday, but before it is my birthday is June

The next day, my aunt, uncle and my dopted mother dry dad, grandma and

My friends and I have planned to do something interesting. We write down

our future wishes and put them in a bottle. Then we exchange the bottles, making

it as our secrets. We make a deal to take it out five years later and see if we

have realize our dreams. No one knows what will happen tomorrow, but we are so

looking forward to the moment when we open the bottles.

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.”

一个年轻人向苏格拉底询问成功的秘诀，苏格拉底让年轻人第二天早晨到河边 见他。他们见面后，苏格拉底叫年轻人和他一起走向河里，当河水淹至他们的 脖子时，苏格拉底出其不意地抓住年轻人并把其压入水中，那人想要挣出水面， 而强壮有力的苏格拉底将他摁在水中直到他变得无力抗争，脸色发青。苏格拉 底将他的头拖出水面，这个年轻人所做的第一件事就是大口喘息后，深吸一口 气。苏格拉底问： “当你闷在水里的时候你最想要的是什么?”年轻人回答说： “空气。 ”苏格拉底说： “那就是成功的秘诀。当你像渴望空气一样渴望成功， 你就能够获得它!没有其他的秘密了。 ”

In high school, Chinese students study very hard to fight for the future

college, while in western countries, students are spending time in taking all

kinds of activities. Though students from different countries have different

ways to spend high school time, they make the decision and take charge of their

life. This is the best age to learn knowledge, their brain can remember words

and numbers quickly. For making friends, they will probably meet their lifetime

friends. During three years, besides gaining knowledge and making friends, they

grow so fast, not only in body, but also in mind. Being independent is the main

feature. They can make a lot of decisions without asking parents for help. When

they are equipped themselves with basic skill, then they can better get used to

the new environment, which is important for future life.

Not only is summer a hot season but also diseases are apt to happen. To us

it is neither comfortable nor safe.If we do not wish to get sick, we must pay

attention to the following sanitary ways in summer.Both fresh air and clean food

are indispensable to us.We must try our best to get them.We should take at least

one bath every day.Don’t wear dirty clothes.

In conclusion, if we can carry out the above – mentioned rules, we will

neither get sick nor suffer pain.

Today, my parents go to have an important meeting with their friends, so

they leave me home alone. Though my mother has prepared everything I need, I

still feel a little sad. I watch the TV and play computer games, but I feel more

and more lonely. I realize I need my parents so much. I must learn to be

independent.
