高中给爸爸的一封信汇编两篇 作文英语(推荐20篇)

Before Chinese students go to college, they have been told about the great

things on campus life all the time, so they have the motivation to study hard.

When they come to university, they begin to slow down their pace to study and

waste their youth.

Nowadays, a lot of college students lose motivation to move on when they

come to the new chapter of their life. Campus life seems to be relaxed and a

place to free themselves. Without the supervision from parents and teachers,

they choose to lose themselves in the computer games or all kinds of

parties.

So someone made the comment on campus life as the nursing house, which

satirized the students who wasted their precious time and youth to accomplish

nothing. It is the important stage for them to learn professional knowledge and

master skills, so as to be competitive and find their own place in the

world.

For a wise student, they make the plans and improve themselves all the

time. If we live the life as the old people in the nursing house, then it is

kind of committing suicide for a young person.

今天我作为你的父亲给你写信，是我心里的一种感念。我希望你有早一日能看到我写给你的信：我是一个平凡的父亲，像千万个平凡的父亲一样，把一切心思都倾注在家上，我要让你快乐，我要让你在我们这个充满爱的家庭中茁壮成长，这是我的责任，也是我的义务!

亲爱的儿子，你生活在了一个和谐的环境中，你更应该珍惜自己的一切!像你那么大，我已经加入到为生存而奋斗的行列中，在当时，我的家，也就是你的奶奶家，家里生活特别的窘迫。记得那是一个请黄不及的夏天，家里的锅开着水，冒着热气，却一点粮食都没有，你无奈的奶奶急得到处乱转，我们的肚子里也是在呱呱地叫个不疼，那是一个饥饿的时代，我清楚地记得那个时代留给我的记忆。在当时的我比现在的你还小一岁，于是，我就在村子附近的一个玉米地“偷”了两个嫩玉米棒，拖着回家，在半路上我遇到了村里的支书，我看着他，但一点都没有害怕，尽管我从道义上讲，我做的不对，可我不能克制自己要活下去的____，我的事情很快就在全村传开……

我为什么要给你写我这个不光彩的事情呢?童年是我们人生最快乐的时候，可我的童年却在饥饿中度过，我感觉不出快乐!你不知道我们家的钱从哪里来的，只知道需要钱的时候到银行中取，这也难怪你的，因为我在闲暇的时候总要带这你出没在银行里。你要知道生活，这是一件很不容易的事情!我想你现在就连我写的字都认不清楚，更不用说从字里行间读出我要说的意思!你不清楚，当我没有给你买上你最喜欢的玩具的时候，你眼巴巴的样子，做为一个父亲我真的感到很为难，这样长此以往将对你有较坏的影响，于是，我总是要阻止你，甚至我们要骂着你没有兴趣地回到家。其实，这不能埋怨你，我应该让你尽情的快乐，换你一个天真的自我!可我不能我小的时候，你爷爷对我说的话：一个人的成长就像一棵小树，只有不断地去修整，他才能长成一个大树，长成一个有用的树!

面对你的童年，勾起我对童年的记忆!亲爱的儿子，我出生在一个农村家庭。这就注定了我是一个朴实命运的性格。在读书的岁月里，我总是用心对待自己，我没有忘记我们家庭的艰难，废寝忘食总是我读书的真实写照，我也喜欢睡觉，面对读书的压力，我放弃了享受生命的念头，把自己的生命寄托在对明天的渴望中，那一个个陪着我的星星，那一段段陪我走路的声音，都增强了我对美好未来的向往与追求，于是，我选择自己的时候，更多的是因为我们周围的人，是他们在激励着我的生命。所以我要告诉你的是，当你刚刚出生的那一刻，生命也许就是你自己的。但随着生命的不断成长，生命就不仅仅是自己的，更多的是社会责任了。我们要学会热爱我们的生命，但更要学会不断扩展自己生命的意义。

美好的人生其实就是我们生命的色彩!我们虽不能像太阳普照万物，但我们可以似蜡浊燃烧自己照亮别人，这就是我们平凡人的人生，所以我们只有坚持，才能做得更好!才能让我们平凡的生命施放出娇艳的光泽。

孩子，你是明天的希望，在你人生的道路上，等待你的是一个又一个需要克服的困难，做为你的父亲，我甘为你人生路途上的阶梯，但我送不走你的一生，未来的路对于你来说依然是一个奋斗的过程，我相信，只要你在人生的道路上努力了，再回首那段美好的人生就将永远是一个美丽回忆!而要留下这个美丽的倩影，最重要的是在我们的人生中我们要付出更多的努力!这就是我们生命的意义。

人生是一个相互激励的过程，你虽然是八岁，但你的做法也将永远激励着我，看到你美好的童年，我感受在和你一起成长!你的自制力很强，这是你的优点，我要帮助你把这个优点继续发挥下去，让这个优点永远成为你成长的催化剂。

也许是时代的不同，所孕育的生命也是不一样的。在你每一个家庭作业上都签着我的名字，看着你的作业，我为你感到自豪，你就像所有的人一样，有一个积极向上的心态，而你在这方面表现的尤其突出，我想这就是你在未来中应该能做好一切的前提。一个人能够克制自己，那是很不容易做到的。因为我们做到____的主人很难，但不小心就做了____的奴隶，这一点，我们很难把握我们的生命!

人的一生最容易忽视的就是不能正视我们的优点，相反却被弱点打败!现在你还小，还不能懂得我这句话的意义，但我还是要提醒你的，这将对你的人生有着深远的影响，我们小瞧不得，也忽视不得……

每个人都是一部美丽的自专作品，但这个作品的生动与否，主要是取决于我们自己，因为我们的生命在感动别人的时候，首先要感动自己!

Dear Yong

Hello! Thank you for accompanying us to grow up, let us feel the loving

care of a mother, you work hard every day, let us learn more knowledge.

I remember one time I and some dictation did not get 100 points, so I have

to stay to review the dictation. It was more than five oclock at that time. I

still didnt get all the dictation right the second time. You said to us, "its

too late, go home! Review well and dictation tomorrow. " In the afternoon of the

next day, I didnt get 100 points, so you left us to tutor alone after class

from Monday to Friday, but I never got 100 points. So you are very angry and

ask, "Wang Ziyi! Why didnt you get 100 points? Think about it. Is that your

level? " Its already more than six oclock after you severely criticized me.

You let me go home to review and dictation next time. Later, I finally got full

marks through hard work. I also remember that you told me to study hard and

steadfast!

Oh! Mr. Yong, you are more like us. No matter how hard you work and how

angry you are, you also patiently teach us to learn. You are really a good

teacher!

I will study hard in the future and live up to your expectations.

I wish you success in your work and happy every day!

Your student: Wang Ziyi

My mother is the most diligent person in my house, she takes care of me all

the time and does all the housework. As I grow up, I realize that my mother is

such a great woman, what she does for us surpasses everything. I find my

mother’s hands are not as smooth as other person’s, but in my eyes, they are the

most beautiful hands.

Dear Friends,

Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience that I caused you by

adding the extra visiting without your permission.

I had no intention of intruding on your personal life. In China, arranging

interesting leisure activities for visitors is a common way to show welcome.

However, as your receptionist, I should have realized that you are inclined to

regard your private time as an inviolable treasure and hate to be harassed by

unplanned matters.

Im really sorry that I didnt check with you before making such

incomsiderate arrangement .All I can say is that it wont happen again.

Sincerely,

LiLi

This winter is freezing cold. I didn’t have any desire to go out for play.

I always stayed at home. Actually, most of the time I was in my bed. When I felt

anxious for staying inside too long, I will go near the window to wach the

children building snowman or throwing snowballs. It seemed very interesting. But

I just didn’t want to go out. Later my mother found that I was so lazy. Then she

forced me to go out. Since my mother said, I have no excuse to reject. My mother

is right. Though the outside was icy, it’s fantastic. Everything smells fresh.

Since then, I went outside everyday, and then did my homework and felt full of

energy. The holiday ended very soon. It was a lazy holiday.

Dear baby,

How time flies, three years of junior high school has come a nearly five 6, more want to let time stop, so we can each other with some more, but this is impossible, time will pass, you will grow big, Im lucky from September 1, 2012 to June 26, 2014, are there your company in the period of time, whether your scores are good or medium or some unsatisfactory, teachers believe that the future you will be able to harvest your own future.

Baby, we together of the time, because the teacher sometimes bad temper, also because of the high expectations of teachers for you, to you hair temper, sometimes may say bad words, perhaps you still dont understand to the teacher at the time, but I believe that our heart is always close to each other, because you are the teacher heart the good child. Thank you for your understanding of the teacher!

Baby, every time together time is so unforgettable, forget my birthday when the song full of affection "father", and a full face of cream; I cant forget singing all the way to Beijing, and singing with shame on the platform after school; Forget when running total also cant run, and turn a neat pace. The teachers happy memories haunt me little by little.

Maybe you are not very expressive sometimes, but you can read your trust in your teacher from your attentive eyes. If youre having a hard time academically and youre not doing well academically, remember that "nothing will make me give up" is enough! If you are not outstanding enough, than insufficient, than the next surplus, the teacher gave you such a sentence: "try your best, miracle will be created by you." If your study is better, the teacher also send you a sentence: "the day will be down on the man also, must first suffer its spirit, labor its bones and muscles, starve its body skin, empty its body, line brush its work". These wise words of Mencius have quite a warning and encouraging effect to everyone. As excellent students in study, you carry more pressure than others, from parents and friends, from teachers and classmates, more from themselves, you have a strong self-control, quick thinking, strong will, positive and aspirant, have higher requirements for themselves, the results in the class is also good. But I would like to remind you that there are people outside the mountain. Many students are making use of holidays to improve their knowledge structure and comprehensive quality in order to keep improving. Strive hard, in order to be invincible in the exam war, come out on top. There is a good saying "you are not outstanding is not terrible, terrible is outstanding people more diligent than you!"

Baby, 2021 in our look forward, will be here soon, this year I is very important for you, perhaps you already had enough, maybe you have some hesitation, in fact, no matter how your past, these are not important, it is important for the rest of the 180 days, what should we do, I always believe that a pay a harvest, I also believe that you are can bear children, you are willing to pay a child, in June 2014, will make you satisfied!

Finally, the teacher wants to give you said: the child you will always be the teachers care, for your anxiety, worry about you, for your progress and very happy, but also for your slack and worried. Once, you put so trust in my eyes. Today, tomorrow, I will use all of their own knowledge, love and responsibility to protect your growth. Some people say that food is the most beautiful when you are hungry, health is the most beautiful when you are sick, friends are the most beautiful when you are helpless, and teachers are the most beautiful when you are confused. The teachers heart will always be open to you, a little lamp of hope for you. I am willing to fight together with you, riding horses to whip, sail to the other shore of victory!

Always love your friend: Liu Berkelium

12 September 2006

Dear Mr. Wang,

I am pleased to invite you to a luncheon, to be held by the Monterey Institute of International Studies on October 12, 2006 at noon, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the death of General Stilwell and in honor of his daughter, Mrs. Nancy Stilwell Easterbrook. Mrs. Easterbrook was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Monterey Institute and founder of the Stilwell Scholarship, which is dedicated to supporting students from China.

For many years until she passed away, Nancy had served as a goodwill ambassador of the American people who made unremitting efforts to promote exchanges between the United States and China. The Stilwell Scholarship she founded helps support deserving students from China who have come to the Monterey Institute to pursue professional degrees in translation and interpretation, international policy studies, language teaching and business management.

I hope you will be able to join us. Mr. Chuanyun Boo, Dean of the Graduate School of Translation and Interpretation, will be calling you soon to discuss this event further.

Yours sincerely,

Tom Burton

Yao teacher:

You are a red candle, burning the most passionate torch in our hearts. Just into the fourth grade, you are very strict with us, your face of seriousness in my opinion is not used to, because we from the first grade began to be spoiled, spoiled, often lawless. You come, such eyes, such majesty, as if to shock everyone. Everyone again. Also not noisy, after class no longer chase dozen, we are like a new man, we can no longer not be in a temper. We have come to understand that it is for our good that you are strict with us.

Spring silkworm to dead silk, candles into ash tears began to dry. Teacher, you have been working silently in your own ordinary job for 25 years. How many outstanding talents have you cultivated? No one can count. Someone said to see the word such as people, my words have been written not good, is your patience and write in my exercise book some words of encouragement to remind me, therefore, my words slowly beautiful. It gives me a lot of confidence. "A teacher is a true seed, a messenger of good, a banner of beauty, the embodiment of love." There is nothing wrong with this remark. You run between school and home every day.

Once, your sons severe fever caused pneumonia. In the afternoon, family members called to urge you to go to see, although you are anxious, but in order to dozens of students in the school, but still did not go. When you get off work, your husband asks you, "Is your student important or is your son important?" You say: "All important." Then you explained slowly to your husband, Its enough to take care of your son by yourself. But what if there were so many students at school? You walk out of the room and look at your son, who is sallow and coughing, with tears streaming down his face, and you say, "Jack, Ive been a bad mother." You always make choices in bitterness, and you make the choices that came before you. With the persistent pursuit of career and the sincere heart of loving students, you have composed an ordinary and moving song with consistent diligence and enterprising spirit. Teacher I know your health has been bad, for us you also have to take care of yourself. I will repay you with my progress in study and live up to your expectations. In the New Year, I sincerely wish you good health! Students all over the world!

My classmate Li Hong is a very nice girl. The first day I met her, she

helped me to know other students name. Thanks to her, I get along with my

classmates soon. I like to ask her to come to my house and my mother likes her,

too. My mother cooks delicious food for her. Li Hong is a trustful friend.

My best friend is WangMing. He is 12 years-old.He always play jokes

with me.I like to stay with him.It is because he can help me all the time. When

I find him say that I am sad or happy,he always listen to me and he is very kind

to me.He is very clever.He always help with my homeworks.If I have a worry and

dont know how to do he could help me.He can be a friend with

everyone

【参考翻译】

我最好的朋友是王明。他是12岁。他总是与我玩笑。我喜欢和他呆在一起。那是因为他能帮助我。当我发现他说我悲伤或快乐,他总是听我的,他对我很好。他是非常聪明的。他总是帮助我的家庭作业。如果我有一个担心,不知道如何去做,他可以帮助我。他可以和大家做朋友。

Now I want to say something about my dream. What is my dream? I often ask

myself. In my mind, everyone shall have his own dream. I think that having a

dream means that we have an idea, and then we will do all the things to achieve

the target. As long as we have a goal to be realized, we won’t be blind at

least.

My dream is to become a successful doctor, helping those sick people and

saving their lives. Of course, to be a good doctor is very difficult, but I will

do whatever I can do to keep everyone healthy. Thats my dream. I want to try my

best to help the poor sick people of our country. I want to let them have an

opportunity to receive excellent treatments for their illnesses without having

to pay much or just enjoy them free. China is a developing country which needs

good medicine and good doctors, especially in the countryside and distant

villages.

Now I’m a junior student on Grade One, all my classmates and I are working

hard. We all know that the entrance exam of high schools coming in the year of

2009 is a big challenge for us, so we must study harder and harder in order to

go to a good high school. Thus after we finish our senior high school, we are

able to go to a good university. Finally, we can find a good job in society.

My dream is also that although at present I’m good at study, I’ll still try

my best to be the study winner. Now everything I do is close to my dream. I feel

life is fill with hope and is colorful, and I have enough confidence to realize

my dream.

I know that fantasy is something hard to realize, but dream can. I’ll work

hard for my dreams, I’ll never give up.

Dear editor,

I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks. 60% of us schoolmates think that an entrance fee do not meet people’s expectations, for a park is considered to be a place where the public can have a good time when they are not busy either at home or at work. If an entrance fee must be paid by the visitors for a park, it will be necessary to build a gate and surrounding walls. In the end a city will take on a bad look. 40% of us schoolmates think that an entrance fee can be accepted, but it must not be too expensive. The money from ticket selling can be used for paying the gardeners in the park and buying some other kinds of flowers and trees.

With regard to myself, I think an entrance fee is useful, for it can be used to protect a park. Do we share the same opinion, dear editor?

Yours truly,

Li Hua

There was once a little girl named Mary that wanted a phone so badly that

her parents couldn’t help bearing her crying and got her a phone with purple

dots and a little smiley face on it.

So life went on as usual until one day. when she was walking down town, she

saw a house, filled with decorations. She knew at once that this house was

having a party for somebody. Perhaps they were celebrating a birthday, or Happy

Anniversary… Mary really wanted to enter the party, so she begged them to let

her in and have a great time. They promised to let her in as long as she could

do what they asked.

And that request was to make bread for the poor and buy milk for them to

drink. That sounded like an easy request to grant, so she used her phone to call

her dad to get some bread and milk for the poor. But there was a problem, “No

phones allowed!” cried the owner of the house standing out. He held onto Mary’s

phone and pulled it out of her hand. He deleted her phone numbers and message

box, and then he took the batteries out, in case she had some other plans.

“There, now you couldn’t use your phone anymore,” and the owner went

inside. So poor Mary used her pocket money which was for a new dress for the

school party, to buy bread and milk for the poor; she was very sad, and went

back and said that she had finished her work.

“Where is your proof?” asked the owner again, “I-I didn’t know you wanted

me to give you proof?” “Well then you are out,” and he closed the door

tightly.

what a busy day today!

My Darling McGeorge

You said that things seemed clearer when they were written down. Well, here

with a very boring letter in which I will try to put everything down so that you

may read and re-read it at a horror at your folly in getting involved with

me.

Deep breath. To begin with ,I love you. With a depth and passion and I have

felt for no one else in this life. And if it is astonishes you, it astonished me

as well. Not, I hasten to say, because you are not worth loving. Far from it.

Its just that, first of all,I swore I would not get involved with another

woman. Secondly, I have never had such a feeling before and it is almost

frightening. Thirdly, I would never have thought it possible that another human

being could occupy my waking and sleeping thoughts to the exclusion of almost

everything else. Fourthly, I never thought that even if one was in love one

could get so completely besotted with another person so that a minute away from

them felt like a thousand years. Fifthly, I never hoped,aspired, dreamed that

one can find everything one wanted in one person.

I was not such an idiot as to believe this was possible. Yet in you I have

found everything I want: youre beautiful, gay, giving, gentle, idiotically and

deliciously feminine, sexy, wonderfully intelligent and wonderfully silly as

well. I want nothing else in this life than to be with you, to listen and watch

you, your beautiful voice, your beauty, to argue with you, to laugh with you, to

show you things, to share things with you, to explore your magnificent mind, to

explore your wonderful body, to help you, protect you, serve you ,and...bash you

on the head when I think you are wrong...

Not to put too fine a point on it, I consider that I am the only man

outside mythology to have found crock of gold at the rainbows end. But, having

said all that, let us consider things in details. Dont let this become public,

but, well...I have one or two faults. Minor ones,I hasten to say. For example I

am inclined to be overbearing. I do it for the best possible motives, all

tyrants say that, but I do tend, without thinking, to treat people underfoot.

You must tell me when Im doing it to you, my sweet, because it can be a very

bad thing in a marriage.

Right, the second blemish. This actually is not so much a blemish of

character as a blemish of circumstance. Darling, I want you to be you on your

own right, and I will do everything I can to help you in this. But you must take

into consideration that I am also me in my own right. And that I have a head

start on you. What Im trying to say is that you must not feel offended if you

are sometimes treated simply as my wife. Always remember that what you lose on

the swings you gain on the roundabouts. But i am an established ‘creature’ in

the world, and so on occasions you will have to live in my shadow. Nothing gives

me less pressure than this. But it is a fact of life that has to be faced.

Third, a very important and nasty, blemish. Jealousy. I dont think you

know what jealousy is, thank god, in the real sense of the word. I know that you

have felt jealousy over Lincolns wife and child, but this is what I call normal

jealousy, and this to my regret, is not what Ive got. What I have got is a

black monster and any goodness that I have in my make-up. It is really a Jekyll

and Hyde situation... my Hyde is stronger than my good sense and defeats me,

hard though I try. As I told you, I have always known that this lurks within me,

but I could control it, and my monster slumbered and nothing happened to awake

it. Then I met you and I felt my monster stir and become half-awake when you

told me of Lincoln and others you have known, would you like to end with your

letter my monster came out of its lair, black, irrational, bigoted, stupid,

evil, malevolent. You never know how terribly corrosive jealousy is; It is a

physical pain as though you have swallowed acid or red hot coals. It is the most

terrible of feelings. But you cant help it at least I cant and god knows Ive

tried. I dont want any ex-boyfriends sitting in church when I marry you. On our

wedding day I want nothing but happiness both for you and me, but I know I wont

be happy if there is a church full of your ex-conquests. When I marry you I will

have no past, only a future. I dont want to drag my past into our future and I

dont want you to do it, either. Remember I am jealous of you because I love

you. You are never jealous of something you dont care about.

Okay enough about jealousy. Now let me tell you something. I have seen a

thousand sunsets and sunrises, in a thousand sunsets and sunrises on land where

it floods forest mountains with honey-coloured light, at sea where it rises and

sets like a blood orange in a multi-coloured nest of cloud, slipping in and out

of the vast ocean. I have seen thousand moons. Harvest moon is like gold coins,

winter moons as white as ice chips, new moons like baby swans feathers. I have

seen seas as smooth as if painted, coloured like shot silk or blues as a

kingfisher or transparent as glass or black and crumpled with foam, moving

ponderously and murderously. I have felt winds straight from the south pole,

bleak and wailing like a lost child; Winds as tender and warm as a lovers

breath; Winds that carried the astringent smell of salt and the death of

seaweeds; Winds during the moist rich smell of a forest floor, the smell of a

million flowers. Fierce winds that churned and moved the sea like yeast, or

winds that made the waters lap at the shore like a kitten. Ive known silence:

the cold, earthy silence at the bottom of a newly dug well; The implacable stony

silence of a deep cave; The hot, drugged midday silence when everything is

everything is hypnotized and still moved into silence by the eye of the sun. The

silence when great music ends. Ive heard that summer cicadas cry so that the

sound seems stitched into your bones. Ive heard a tree frogs in an

orchestration as complicated as Bach singing in a forest lit by a million

emerald fireflies. Ive heard the Keas calling over the grey glaciers that

groaned to themselves like old people as they inched. Their way to the sea. Ive

heard the hoarse street vendor cries of the mating Fur seals as they sang to

their sleek golden wives, the crisp staccato admonishment of the rattlesnake,

make the cobweb squeak of the Bat and the belling roar of the red deer knee-deep

in purple heather. Ive heard wolves baying at a winters moon, read howlers

making the forest vibrate with their roaring cries. Ive heard the squeak, purr

and grunt of a hundred multi-coloured reef fishes. I’ve seen hamming birds

flashing like opals round a tree of scarlets blooms, humming like a top. I have

seen flying fish skittering like quicksilver across the blue waves, drawing

silver lines on the surface with their tails. Ive seen Spoonbills flying home

to roost like a scarlet banner crossed the sky. Ive seen Whales, black as tar,

cushioned on a cornflower blue sea,creating a Versailles of fountain with their

breath. I have watched butterflies emerge and sit, trembling, while the sun

irons their wings smooth. I watch tigers, like flames, mating in the long grass.

I have been dive -bombed by an angry Raven, black and glossy as the Devils

hoof. Ive lain in water warm as milk, soft as silk, while around me played a

host of Dolphins. I have met a thousand animals and see a thousand wonderful

things.

All this I did without you. This was my loss. All this I want to do with

you. This will be my gain. All this I would gladly have forgone for the sake of

one minute of your company, for your love, your voice, your eyes, hair, lips,

body, and above all for your sweet, ever surprising mind which is an enchanting

quarry, in which it is my privilege to delve.

Dear Andy lewis,

hello. how have you been?

I have read magazine advertisement knowing you are hunting for some people who can be your pen-friends firstly,please allow me to introduce myself.

I am Li Ping and I have a happy life with my parents in Shanghai,my father who is working for a big company is a legal adviser and my mother has retired. I study in a middle school.

My hobby is sports such as playing basketball, football,swimming and so on. I think that sports can not only lose your weight but also give you a good shape.

As far as i know one of your hobby is learning foreign languages.I could teach you to learn chinese if you will. If only I could be accepted and be good friends with you.good luck to you.

Yours sincerely

Li Ping

After I go to school, teachers always tell me to study hard, so that I can

be the excellent student. But now I have grown up, I have my own idea. The

reason for me to study hard is to return my parents’ love. When they are old, I

can make a lot of money and let them have a better life.
