以希望为话题的英语作文【汇编20篇】

时间过得真快，转眼就要面临中考。中考承上启下，位居“人生三大考”之中间一环，其意义重大，影响深远。本来，我平时的学习成绩也还算可以，但人生无常，世事难料。假如没有考上理想的好学校，就不能享受优质的教育资源和先进的教学管理，给未来考大学埋下了隐患;假如落榜，则将彻底失去继续升学深造的机会，不得不提前进入社会，沦为流水线上的“打工妹”。

我越想越紧张，越想越恐惧，不幸患上了所谓的“焦虑症”。直到有一天，我在一本初中作文杂志上读到了刘珊珊的《让心中永驻一缕阳光》一文，心头不由得为之一震。

文中的“我”中考失利后，陡然感觉世界一团漆黑，简直想死的心都有了。这时，“爸爸”托物引类开导她：为何种子埋进黑土还能发芽?只因它心里有阳光!真是一语点醒迷路人，“我”茅塞顿开，心情豁然开朗，很快就走出了失败的阴影。太阳还是那个太阳，仰角还是那个仰角，以不同的心态看事物，就出现了截然不同的景象。

“坚守心中的‘阳光’，我会成功!”文中的“我”作为“过来人”，以她的亲身经历、心路变化现身说法，深深地触动了我的灵魂，引起了我的强烈共鸣，也将鼓舞、激励对自己缺乏自信的中考考生和落榜生，启迪我们所有正处在同一个十字路口的同龄人。在人生道路上，困难和挫折总是难免的，但无论如何不要轻言放弃，始终保持乐观向上、豁达平和的心态至关重要。

正如作者所言：“坚守阳光，种子在黑暗中的信仰，它坚守它心中的阳光，它会破土而出，沐浴在阳光下。”只要尽了自己的努力，能够考上重点最好，退而求其次，考个普高、职高也不错。即使落榜了，也不要气馁，因为我们青春年少正当时，人生远航才刚刚启程，潜力无限，希望无限。好比一粒种子，只要自强不息，顽强地抗争、进取，无论扔在哪里，最终照样总能找到突破口，生根发芽，开花结果。

我忍不住又读了一遍《让心中永驻一缕阳光》，越看越乐观，越看越释然，“焦虑症”霍然而愈……

Dear fellows,

Not only adults but also we students often feel stressed because we have too much homework to do, and we are very busy studying every day, we don’t have our own time to do what we are interested in. We are very tired and sleepy all day, so we should learn to deal with it. What should we do to relax?

I also have three ways to relax ourselues. First, we can listen to music. Second, we can go to the movies with our parents on weekends. Don’t study at home all the weekend. Third, when we feel tired, we can think about something interesting.

I hope my suggestions can help you.Thanks!

Nowadays, more and more college students are taking part in work-study programs in their spare time. Many of them choose to be a tutor or doing a part-time job in school dining room or library. Also some others do a part-time delivering man or promotion specialist or other jobs alike.

There are mainly three different reasons for college students to take work-study program. First, to earn money is the main aim of many students, they want to relieve the burden on their family by doing a part-time job. Second, some students take work-study programs as a channel by which know the society and improve their practical skills. Third, still other students doing part-time job just for fun or kill time.

From my point of view, it goes without saying that college students can benefit a lot from work-study programs. However, those students who get part-time jobs should keep it in mind that study is prior to anything else. Besides, they should spend their income from part-time job reasonably.

I always hear about my friends complaining, they say their income is such low that they cant not make ends meet. At first, I would pity for them, but in the long run, I find their work is so easy, they just sit in the office from 9 am to 5 pm, they even don’t need to go out for business. While I see another friend, he works so hard, his working hour is very unstable, sometimes he even works until 9 pm. The fact is that he earns the most between my friends. It is true that no pain, no gain, if people want more, they need to pay out more. Comparing to be envy about other peoples great income, wed better to work hard to realize what we want. There is not short-cut for people to get successful, working hard is the only way.

our shool, wuhan heping middle school, lies in the center of wuhan city. it was just built and has the perfect size. the school yard is two hundred meters long, one hundred meters wide, and is surrounded by trees.

when you walk throught the front gate, there is a huge garden that greets you with every kind of natural things. to the left is the school library in which there are more than 100, 000 books. to the right is the eperiment building. in the very middle of the school yard stands the teaching building that stretches for one hundred and fifty meters. this teaching building has four floors with the teachers offices at either end of each floor. standing on the top of the teaching building, you can see a flower bed. behind the teaching building is a large playground on the right side. the students often do sports here after class. to the left lies the dining hall which can hold 500 people. this is our school, a beautiful one.

our school, wuhan heping middle school, is in the center of wuhan city. the school yard is two hundred meters long, one hundred meters wide, and is surrounded by trees. it is 20, 000 square meters in area.

when you walk into the school yard, you will see a wide road in front of you. on your left, you will see the school library in which there are more than 100, 000 books. on your right is the eperiment building, walk ahead,and you will see a beautiful garden in front of you. when you go through it,there stands the teaching building: it has four floors with the teachers of rices at either end of each floor. behind it, there stands the dining-room on the left side. to the right lies the playground where the students often play football. this is our school, a beautiful one.

“人在痛苦的情况下，如果心存希望，可以最大限度地激发潜能，克服困难度过难关。”这是一句至理名言。

第一个故事，是一个单身妈妈，独自抚养孩子长大。因为穷，她不得不卖血给孩子储存生活费。在义务教育的九年中，这个单亲妈妈不断卖血，直到第十年，她的孩子读完了初中，她才倒下。医生检查她的身体的时候，她得了很多疾病，而且身体状况早就到达了崩溃的边缘，只是不知道什么原因，她居然还能活着。

第二个故事，是一个小女孩。小女孩聪明伶俐，心地善良，本来无忧无虑地生活在这个世界上。谁知道遇上了一个恶毒的农村妇女，被设计触犯了法律，被警察送到少管所，一关就是三年。小女孩在疾病横行，充满殴打，惨无人道的地方，靠菜叶和米饭支撑着出狱的信念。她在狱中写了很多所见所闻的文章，居然拼出一本厚厚的小说。走出少管所的那一天，她一只眼睛几乎失明，身上只有一把骨头，头发蓬乱，跟个乞丐差不多。只有她的神情，还和小孩子的时候一模一样，来接她的妈妈问她里面苦不苦，她点点头，然后说：“我还是熬过来了，我只想着，出来还可以呼吸新鲜空气，还可以去吃一顿螺蛳粉。”

成年人都知道，生活会否定我们的完美，而命运的大手也许这某一个时刻就降临，将我们抓住拖到悬崖的边缘，很多时候我们会疲惫了挣扎，在心里面放弃，但是也有一些勇者，能够逆流而上，给自己一个希望。那种希望，好像是给心灵之灯准备的灯油，在心火就快灭掉的时候，让心火重新燃烧起来，不让我们的躯体冰冷僵硬。

但愿我们都有一个美好的希望，并且这个希望可以实现。

Academic Plagiarism

Nowadays, the problem of academic plagiarism becomes more and more serious. In orderto earn academic titles, some teachers plagiarize others academic papers; in order tograduate smoothly, some college students plagiarize others graduation papers. Everything hasits reasons; academic plagiarism is no exception.

First, college authorities put too much emphasis on papers while conferring academic titlesand graduating students. Second, modern technology makes it unprecedentedly easy to getinformation and materials. Some plagiarists who are morally corrupt cant resist thetemptation and decide to take risks. Third, the system of censorship and penalty are farfrom being strict, encouraging plagiarism to some extent.

Plagiarism causes many bad results. On the one hand, plagiarism infringes original writersright and it is unfair for teachers and students who dont plagiarize. On the other hand,plagiarism may spread negative thoughts which in the end will ruin colleges fame. Therefore,I suggest college authorities should not regard papers as the only criterion for evaluating teachers and students. Besides, much stricter system of censorship and penalty should beapplied.

每个人心中都有一个小秘密就是希望。一些人虽然嘴上不说，但心里的希望总是有的。当然，每个人都有自己的希望，每个人的希望各不相同。 农民,，节都是秋季,因为那是个丰收节。他们的希望是：稼能有好收成,来年可以买个好钱。

医生，最大的希望当然是能够治好病人的病。每个人键健康康的，他们不愿看到人们脸上没有了以往的灿烂的笑容。 教师，他们的最大的心愿是能够教出更多的栋梁只材，将来为祖国做贡献。希望则是桃李漫天下的学生。

商人，他们的希望是生意兴隆，自己的生意越来越大，越来越红火。“希望”更多的商品让人络择不绝。 父母，每个做父母的都希望自己的儿女都能有出息，他们都为自己的儿女负出了不少，而他们的心愿是自己的儿女们的愿望可以如愿以偿。

……………………………………… 以上的几个事例更加充分的说明每个人的希望不同，自己对待生命的意义也不同。

但是，也不一定每个人的希望都是好的，都可以实现，所以我们要朝着一个好的目标，前进，奋斗……

她是谁?她是和我度过最后小学生涯，让我知道人外有人，天外有天。我不想知道她是谁，但我知道是她给我带来了一片希望的曙光。

当我初来乍到这陌生的学校，再和原来的学校一比较，真是天壤之别啊。这让我心中的傲气、优越感喷涌而出，不由得“

赞叹”：“真是一个弹丸之地啊。”在来到学校的几个星期后，迎接我的却是受罚，只见老师愤怒地说：“今天为什么有那么多的人没有戴红领巾?没戴的给我站到讲台上受罚。

”老师像一只受伤的母老虎一样怒吼。老师的话像利刃一般刺痛了我的心，刺痛了一向娇生惯养的我。但也让我的负面情绪淡化了许多，正所谓：“吃一堑长一智

。”这让我心中的目标从考试考好，改成了大处着眼，小处着手这个好习惯。

她来了，她严肃的说：“加油!我相信你磨杵成针就一定会成功的。”我微笑地说：“谢谢你，你虽然在别人面前是执法者，但在我心中你是最好的

再经历一次次困难中，我会冷静的面对，车到山前必有路，这是我冷静的核心所在。她也会常常找我谈学习的内容，每一个环节说得头头是道，让我对一些题目的理解更加深刻了。

有几次我真是上天无路，入地无门啊。有一次，老师点我回答问题，由于没有听课，所以，我完全不知道该如何回答，那时的我一下子成为所有同学的焦点，我的脸涨的通红，恨不得钻个地缝藏起来。但她总是让我在这一次次窘迫处境中学习。如果没有了她，可能就没有了今天的我了。

还有2个多月就要上初中跟她断联系了，虽然不舍，但无可奈何花落去。我一定要站在这个世界金字塔中刻下我的名字，这样才能不负老师的希望，我要像老鹰一样展翅高飞，俯视苍穹。

我还要感谢她，她对我可谓是机关用尽，有时候就算我做错了事，她一般不会打骂我，只会瞪了我几眼罢了，但却让我心中划过一丝暖流，因为

— —她的宽容。她就是我的余老师。希望的曙光已经照亮了前面的路 —

—人生的大路。那一个个脚印见证了我和余老师刻下来的爱。亲爱的老师，您那赤诚的爱，唤醒了多少迷茫，哺养了多少自信，点燃了多少青春，催发了多少证帆，您就是我们的航标灯啊!亲爱的老师，人们说您在培育祖国的栋梁，不如说您就是祖国的栋梁，正是您，支撑了我们的脊梁。十年树木，百年树人。您辛苦了。

Transportation during the Spring Festival, called chunyun in Chinese, is an annual test on Chinas transportation systems.

The Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese Lunar New Year, which falls in late January or early February according to Gregorian calendar, is the most important festival for the Chinese as it is an occasion for reunions with family and friends.

Particularly, people hope to return home from work or study to have a reunion dinner with families on the Lunar New Years Eve.

Hundreds of millions of Chinese people are on journey as the Spring Festival travel season begins. Therefore, Chunyun has created enormous pressure on Chinas transportation sector.

The Ministry of Railway and the National Development and Reform Commission usually issue circulars during the period, demanding that coordination mechanisms be established among transportation departments, different localities and police, and that countermeasures be made in place in case of emergencies to ensure efficiency and a complete success during the peak travel season.

优秀满分范文

My Low-carbon Life

The environmental pollution is worse and worse today. Many trees are cut

down, and water and air are polluted. As a student I try to have a low-carbon

life to save energy and reduce pollution.

Firstly, I often walk to school. It can reduce air pollution. Secondly, I

always turn off the lights and fans when leaving the classroom. Thirdly, I

always make full use of paper and other school things and never waste water.

I wish more students to join me and make the earth more and more

beautiful.

Nowadays, Chinese people are everywhere, on the one hand, they like to travel and on the other hand, the population is very large. But foreigners’ impression on Chinese is not always good. The media have reported the negative incidents that were brought by Chinese tourists, and many foreigners have given their opinion and criticized the tourists’ behavior. It is true that many Chinese people haven’t realized their bad behavior, such as talking loudly in the public occasion. As we have the large population, so not every people has the chance to receive good education. What’s more, the foreign media just reported the bad side while ignoring the good side, so the foreign people always think Chinese people are rude. We admit that we are not doing well enough and we need to behave ourselves. And I believe that a wise man will make his own judgment when he communicate with Chinese.

蚕为什么能在蛹里忍受着黑暗与饥饿的折磨?因为它知道总有一天它将改变自己的命运变为拍着金色翅膀的蝴蝶，即便是一天以后它会成为“面目全非”的老茧。正是它对美丽生活的希望，使它成为生活的强者。

面对希望，陆游说：山重水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村;

面对希望，李白说：长风破浪会有时，直挂云帆济沧海;

面对希望，刘禹锡说：沉舟侧畔千帆过，病树前头万木春。

希望唤醒多少沉睡的心灵，让他们的鲜血沸腾，从而拥有不绝的动力，使他们冲破重重险阻，奔向人生的辉煌。

面对高位截瘫，张海迪更加坚强了。

面对失明失聪，贝多芬的交响乐更加沉郁激昂了。

面对筋骨瘫疾，霍金的《时间简史》更有魅力了。

上天在掠夺他们的双肢和明目的同时，给他们安上了坚强的翅膀，让他们翱翔至希望的天际。

也许你会抱怨我一无所有，除了年轻。

朋友!你犯了一个天大的错误，因为年轻就是你的一笔巨大的财富，你完全有理由昂首挺胸，面对蓝天大喊：我充满希———望———

拥有了希望并不等于拥有了一切，在希望的指引下，我们必须在人生这块田地里洒下汗水与努力，这样希望的种子才能够长成参天大树，结出丰硕的果实。正如蝉有力地丢掉外壳，因而获得了自由的歌唱;壁虎勇敢地挣断尾巴，因而在危险中保全了弱小的生命。正是它们对美好生活、生命自由的希望，才放出如此巨大的能量。它们尚且如此，被称为“天之骄子”的人类，我想会做得更好。

寻找属于自己的希望吧!哪怕是一点点。积土成山，希望之光会普照山顶;积水成渊，希望之龙会降临其中。

像春诞生一切，孕育希望;像夏转动风帆，耕耘希望;像秋结出硕果，收获希望;像冬永葆青春，储蓄希望。希望人生的四季永远充满希望。

最后将一首《希望》送给正颠簸在人生之路上苦苦寻觅、奋斗不息的人们，希望他们能一路走好。

“看天空飘的云，还有梦……”

一位哲人曾经说过，每朵乌云背后都有阳光。这缕阳光，其实就是希望。

希望是什么?希望是失败者对成功的一种渴求;希望是死于生的一种企盼;希望是寒冬对春的一种向往。

希望又是什么?希望是人生的摆钟，须臾停止不得;希望是无边黑暗中的一缕光芒，能照亮前方。如果低头表示失望，那么昂起头便是希望。

希望还是什么?是优美动听的歌谣;是奇丽无比的小诗;是令人神往的意境;是朝霞、是晚虹、是阳光……希望的路，千条万条;希望的河，处处可入海洋。

只有心怀希望，才能在逆境中拼搏成长，才能在失败后见到胜利的曙光。

只有心怀希望，人生才能有前进的方向，才能在人生旅途中留下醉人的芳香。

不要嫌弃一缕阳光的微小，它能给万物以生命;不要埋怨希望之渺小，它能让你走出困境，重拾信心。

希望如冬夜的灯火，温暖而又光明;希望是久旱的甘霖，清新而又湿润;希望似云中的闪电，猛烈而又迅疾;希望轻如烟，细如丝，柔如云，亮如光，美如虹……

人生道路还很漫长，处处都会拥有希望。只要你执著而不固执，勇猛而不鲁莽，追求而不贪婪，聪明而不狡诈，就一定能拥有它。

从此，希望是你，你就是希望!

希望永远是人活下去的动力，或许你曾失败过，但是，希望不是和你约好不失望吗?

——题记

(一)

你，坐在马路边，望着繁华的城市，看着这车水马龙，旁边的酒吧，歌厅，不断地传来“蓝色的多瑙河”“风流寡妇”你恶厌的过头去，这川流不息的人们，神情麻木，呆呆的走着，你想着;这里的人已经没有了希望。

记得一个神秘的人说：“孩子，这里没有了希望，他们只是一群活死人，去吧，寻找希望，你是带着使命的!”

《二)

穿过繁华的街巷，你背起了行囊，啊!朋友，去吧，去那深邃的路上，相信你，能找到你那渴望的希望!!

穿过了田野，走过了水塘，看过了农民的劳作，见过了鱼儿的嬉戏，你不知不觉中走到了一片杨树林，这里飞沙走石，白杨如伞一般抵挡住了沙石，保护了后面的天堂，你与生俱来的就能一切事物说话，你问白杨：“你为何如此?无人给你回报，也无人感谢?”那片白杨傲然的望着沙石。说：“他们给了我最大的回报——希望，这里原是地狱，但我们希望守护她，于是，我们凭着这希望，无论有多艰辛，我们只要一想起希望，一想起身后的天堂，我们就有干下去的动力!”……

你隆重的告别了白杨，白杨给了你希望……

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of

rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of

the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep

springs of life.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the

appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60

more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old

by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of

wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of

living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station;

so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and

from the infinite, so long as you are young.

When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of

cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as

long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may

die young at 80.

译文：

青春

青春不是年华，而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。

岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。

、

一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣;然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。
