关于元旦的高中英语作文汇集20篇

Hello, everyone. I’m am a student in No.1 Middle School. I’m very proud that I have been chosen to speak to you all today.How to protect/save our environment/world?

The environmental pollution is worse and worse /more and more seriously today. Water is polluted ,we have no clean water to drink Many trees are cutting down, some animals is getting less and less.Some factories is poring dirty air in the sky , the population is increasing faster and faster ,resources is getting less and less…etc. Not only does it affect our lives and health, it also has a great affection in the future.

The first fact I worry about is noise pollution. People can"t sleep well if there is too much noise. That"s why so many people prefer to live in the countryside rather than live in the noisy city. I suggest all the factories and cars shouldn"t make terrible noises. If they make terrible noise that isn"t allowed, they will be fined, and we can also produce the cars which can"t make terrible noise.

The other pollution is rubbish pollution. If everyone makes so much rubbish, one day we may live in a world filled with rubbish. Some people throw the waste paper about. I suggest rubbish should be put into different kinds of dustbins or paper bags.

My House Dog

I’m a dog lover, because dogs are tame, friendly and easy to communicate with. I have kept one in my house, whose name is Chocolate. She is covered with brown curly hair and looks like a Teddy Bear. Now we have been living together for two years, so I’m very familiar with her characteristics. When she is hungry, she often barks loudly. At that time, I begin to realize that it’s time to feed her. She is keen on beef and fish. Sometimes, she also eats some rice.

我是一个爱狗的人，因为狗是很温顺，友好，也很容易交流。我在我家养了一只，它的名字叫巧克力。她的毛是棕色的卷毛，看起来就像泰迪熊。现在我们已经一起生活了两年了，所以我很熟悉她的性格。她饿了，她经常会大声吠。那个时候，我就会开始意识到是时候喂她了。她喜爱吃牛肉和鱼。有时候，她也吃一些米饭。

Every day when I come home, she always jumps up to me happily, with her tail moving. She seems to be my best friend. As time goes by, the relationship between us becomes closer and closer. Therefore, I think her as an important member in my family. I really have the pleasure of her company.

每天我回到家的时候，她都会用她的尾巴开心地跑向我。她就像是我最好的朋友一样。随着时间的流逝，我们两个的关系变得越来越亲密。因此，我觉得她是我们家里很重要的一员。有她在我真的很开心。

Everyone has a lot of dreams.Some people want to become wealthy overnight; some people want to become well-known in the world overnight.I have a lot of dreams, too.When I was a girl, I dreamed of becoming a scientist like Hua Luogeng one day.But I know, plum flower. So I studied hard and hard for my dream when I was in high school and college.

After graduating from college, I became a teacher. Although I was busy every day, I didnt forget my dream. I still kepIn the knowledge on the road constantly groping forward, and. Now, I have made great achievements, and many of my research papers have been published, and the research results also have a very high application value.I am so happy。 Although the goal of becoming a scientist is far from it, I am still moving forward.

【翻译】

每个人都会有许多梦想。有的人想变得富有，一夜暴富;有的人想一夜成，名扬四海。我也有许多的梦想。当我还是一个女孩的时候，我就梦想着，有朝一日成为一名像华罗庚那样的科学家。但是我知道，梅花香自苦寒来。所以，我在中学和大学时为我实现我的梦想而认真刻苦的学习。

大学毕业后，我成为了一名老师，虽然我每天都很忙碌，但是我没忘记过我的梦想，我仍然不断坚持学习。在求知的道路上不断摸索前进，废寝忘食。现在，我已经小有成就了，我的多篇研究论文相继发表，研究成果也有着极高的应用价值。我很快乐。虽然，成为一名科学家目标还很远，毕竟我还是在不断向前迈进。

Dont drop than wood sent to mountain, changping bacc the exhaust and the sea. Life is easy to fight old heart not old, is the so-called: never too old to learn, learn seventy also too few. Brief is life, but should not be in a hurry traveler, and it should be: June struggle of passion, such as fire, forward steps if the river waves, in the mountain mountain, the water cut of water! When we failure on the way of life, see more Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, shi tiesheng, Helen Keller... They are art and literature have these, but unfortunately in life. They bowed their heads? The fall? Complain about? Give up?

"Ups and downs of life," "I see the road, I will search up and down", "spring breeze willow ten thousand, millions of shenzhou ShunYao" poets are all in the pursuit of exploration. Life, have their own value. If a person cant make my life brilliant, but also have no reason to make it dull; Life can be ordinary, but not vulgar, vice; Life doesnt care about how much tear, and the process of lies in the pursuit of perfection and excellence!

Life is more precious than time. Life, the most dazzling is career. Life, the most happy is struggle.

Everyone has a tomorrow, everyone has a next year. A foothold today, look forward to tomorrow, based on this year, next year.

I believe that no matter how bumpy the road in the future, as long as you seize today, sooner or later, will taste the sweetness of life in the struggle. Seize the moment in your life, rather than waste a year in January!

The pursuit of positive, one percent of the hope may also become a reality; Passive waiting, ninety-nine percent sure will be ruined!

“在这辞旧迎新的日子里，我们班将举行这场文艺会，用我们的歌声与舞姿，用我们的热情与激情，来表达我们的喜悦，传达对新一年的憧憬！”这是我们班正在举行“迎新年，庆元旦”文艺会，我们用快乐来拥抱新年！

“哈哈，哈哈”一阵开心的笑声从我们班传了出来。此刻，王和刘正在演小品《离婚记》呢。“你这个臭婆娘，又老又爱打麻将，而且每次都输二百五，我看你就是个二百五。”刘指着王绘声绘色地说。这一举动让同学开怀大笑。“你……你凭啥说我二百五？”王问。“你还不二百五，那天让你买醋，你买麻油，那次让你去冼衣服，你把盐当成冼衣粉。”刘数落到。这两个机灵鬼，平时就爱逗我们笑，今天演起小品，更加幽默了。

没想到严肃的刘老师，也表演了一个节目《踢鸡毛键子》。刘老师开始踢了，“一、二、三、四、五……”那鸡毛键子忽上忽下，一下子“跑了”很远，刘老师不慌不忙地把脚一抬，键子又回来了，眼看着键子就要落地了，她又轻轻一勾，键子又飞舞起来了，刘老师轻快的身子随着键子的节奏，如跳舞一般，看得我们眼花缭乱。刘老师踢了159个，脸上也露出了孩子般的笑容。

接下来的活动更加精彩。“过独木桥”，游戏规则是：两名同学为一组，其中一人掉了下去便算输了。游戏一开始，班上的气氛达到了极点，旁边的同学不停地喊加油，似乎他们比比赛的同学还要紧张。我组打头阵的就是我和唐琼，由于我十分急，没有找到决窍，两个人都掉了下来。便认真地看别人是怎么过的。哦，两个人要抱着过，团结就是力量！于是我又上去试了试，果然成功了。同时也明白了，合作便是双赢！

更让开心的是，我当任这次文艺会的主持人。尽管第一次，但是还是被老师同学们认可了。平时，看电视里，那节目主持人王、李等好让我羡慕，现在终于“梦想成真”！

活动还在继续，同学们沉浸在欢乐的海洋中……

一、遣词方面：用词要贴切而丰富，善用短语 ,词汇是语言的建筑材料，文章的好坏，选词很关键，如果用词精湛，就会使文章“亮”起来。

1、措辞要贴切具体

试比较下面句子：

A man is walking down the street.

A man is strolling down the street.

通过比较可以看出，前一句不如后一句表达得具体、生动。一个词如果内涵越具体，那么在特定的场景中恰当地使用它，就会收到意想不到的效果。很多同学写作时常随便用一个很笼统的词来描述一个具体事物或人，如 a nice man给人感觉很笼统空泛，我们可以用很多有个性的、具体的词描绘一个人，如 generous(大方的，慷慨的)，humorous(幽默的)，smart(漂亮的，潇洒的)，kind-hearted，warm-hearted，hospitable(好客的,招待周到的)，gentle(文雅的)，optimistic(乐观的)，easy-going(随和的)，spirited(英勇的)，cultivated(有教养的)，manly(有男子气概的)，knowledgeable(知识渊博的)等等。

2、要善于运用短语

短语用得好，会给评卷员留下深刻印象。如：

When he was a child，he wanted to learn everything.( 普通)

When he was a child，he had a strong appetite(胃口) for knowledge.(高级)

3、要避免汉语思维

用词要符合英语习惯，避免汉语思维的影响，如某些名词和动词搭配已约定俗成，不能随意打乱其搭配习惯，否则会显得生硬和词不达意。如汉语中的“学到知识”，英语中就不能说“learn knowledge”，而要说acquire knowledge (获得知识) 。类似的动宾结构还有achieve success (获得成功)，gain reputation (获得声誉)，attain ones end (达到目的)等。

二、造句方面：句式要准确而多变，活用复合句

简单句用得太多，会造成文章读起来乏味。在评卷员看来，同样意思的内容，能够运用比较复杂的句式结构来表达，当然会认为其运用语言的能力要比只会用简单句来表达要强，评分自然就高。

1、巧用非谓语动词

运用非谓语动词，可使文句看起来更简洁，使语言更加丰富多彩，重点更加突出，增加文采。如：

I covered my ears，trying to keep the noise out，but failed. (2004广东卷)

2、巧用with复合结构

“with+名词/代词+现在分词/过去分词/形容词/副词/介词”结构，常作伴随状语以增加被描绘内容的生动性和情感性，使文章读起来更简洁明了。试比较：

I couldnt go on studying because there was so much noise troubling me. (普通)

I couldnt go on studying with so much noise troubling me. (高级)

3、巧用复合句

高考评分标准强调使用语法结构的数量和复杂性，鼓励考生尽量使用较复杂的结构，并且对由此产生的错误采取了宽容的态度。如果恰当运用各类从句，就会使文章出彩。

如：(定语从句) Whats more，people have easy access to the Internet，which enables them to send and receive e-mails whenever they like.

4、巧用倒装句、感叹句、强调句、虚拟语气句等

使用这些句式可使文章化平淡为生动，加强语气，使评卷老师感受作者的强烈情感。

(倒装句)Only in this way can Internet Bars be well used by people.

(感叹句)I thought，“How hard mum is working! She must be very tired.”

5、巧用排山倒海句

如能运用一个个排比句、对偶句、不定式或短语，可令文章增色不少，会给评卷员眼前一亮的感觉。如：

The purpose of the program are to make our school more beautiful，to make the air cleaner and fresher，and to turn our school into a better place for us to study and live in.

三、谋篇方面：结构要清晰而流畅，巧用过渡词

众所周知，语言的最高层次不是传统语法所说的句子，而是语篇。语篇指的是一系列连接的语段或句子构成的语言整体。一篇好的文章不但句子正确，要点齐全，更重要的是有效地使用了语句间的连接成分。因此，恰当使用好连接性的词语和句子，是使作文获得高分的一个重要因素。

下列各组表示列举或补充的短语或句式非常实用，对高考写作很有帮助：

(1)Firstly...，secondly...，thirdly...，finally...

(2)In the first place...，in the second place...，in the third place...，lastly...

(3)to begin with...，then...，furthermore...，finally...

(4)to start with...，next...，in addition...，finally...

(5)first and foremost...，besides...，last but not least...

(6)most important of all...，moreover...，finally...

如果只有两层意思，可选用下列两组中的任一组：

(1)On the one hand...，on the other hand...

(2)For one thing..., and for another thing...技巧，希望对大家有帮助

In recent years, a new type of online shopping is rapidly gaining popularity — group purchasing, which was originally introduced from foreign countries but is now widely accepted all over China. People can buy not only goods, but also all kinds of services on group purchasing sites.

Group purchasing is very convenient, and saves people a lot of money. But it also has some problems. Since group purchasing is nothing more than another form of online shopping, the nature of it is no different from other online shopping patterns. Problems that exist in online shopping also can be found in group purchasing, like deceptive advertisements or poor after-sale services.

In my opinion, we should treat group purchasing as a way of shopping and nothing more. We must be careful not to buy something we don’t need only to follow the fashion.

everything lives with opposite forces。 the same can be said about modern technology， such asInternet。

at first glance internet offers us excitement and a worl of promise。 frankly speaking， people who have some ideas of it can not deny the merits born with the system。 for instance，it can improve proficiency in scientific research， for by means of it scientists and researchers can get a global look at the latest development in the field concerned and accordingly they need spend no time doing what has already been done。 in view of personal communication， the most convenient means could be peculiar to internet， too。

while people speak highly of internet， its drawbacks shouldnt be neglected。 sometimes， alittle fatal breakdown of the system， or a disastrous error could bring us an enormous amount of damage and loss。 meanwhile， with lnternets replacement of hooks or the written work as the main source of information， humans writing abilities are weakened and relations between people are desalinated。

however， every country on this planet should work hard to develop the system to serve us more efficiently and comfortably， because in the net all countries are interrelated。

The generation gap refers to the difference in attitude toward thing or the

lack of understanding between young people and older folks.

In families as well as in society, the young and the older may not agree

with each other on this and that from time to time. Young people would llke to

make as much money as they could and spend as much money as they could earn

while older folks are easily satisfied with what they earn and save as much as

possible. Young people llke the exciting and deafening pop music while older

folks prefer melodious folk-songs or classic music. A boy and a glrl today may

fall in love with each other as quick as lightning, while their parents or grand

parents might trudge over a long distance before they kissed each other and

became lovers when they were young.

However, we should not be amazed at the generation gap,for it is quite

natural in the development of society. The world is a changing world, in which

everything keeps changing, generations of human beings included. And changes

lead to progress.

Fast as arrows, 2015 hasnt been good, hurried to the 2016. Its arrival, we will long one-year-old, slowly into the future; But parents and elders will be old one year old, wrinkles will slowly up.

12 "12 point 57 seconds, 58 seconds, 12 point 59 seconds, 1 PM to!" I look at the watch excitedly counting, because we want to say goodbye to 2015, to 2016. Although, our China for another 1 month is the real Spring Festival, but my heart still very happy. Because, we will say goodbye to the past and move on to a new era...

At this moment, not only I a person happy, people around the country, and even foreign friends are very excited. They fireworks, firecrackers, opening celebration activities to express their mood at the moment.

Is now 2016 years old, I wish you all good health and happy every day Auspicious year of the monkey!

时间快如箭，2015年还没过好，2016年就急匆匆地来了。它的到来，我们又要长一岁，慢慢地走向未来;但父母和长辈们就要老一岁，皱纹也就慢慢多起来了。

“12点57秒，12点58秒，12点59秒，1点到!”我看着手表激动地数着，因为我们要告别2015，走向2016。虽然，我们中国要再过1个月才是真正的春节，但我心里还是十分高兴。因为，我们将告别过去，走向新时代……

此时此刻，不止我一人高兴，祖国各地的人民，甚至国外的友人也很兴奋。他们放烟花，打鞭炮，开庆祝晚会等活动来表达他们此时此刻的心情。

现在已是2016年了，我祝大家身体健康，天天开心 猴年吉祥!

Time flies like an arrow, the sun is like a boat, in the winter holiday is coming. Have just walked out of the busy nervous final exam. To meet is relaxed and free winter vacation.

Although the winter holiday is very short, but we cant play because of the winter vacation short and follow ones inclinations, should be playing at the same time not forget to study combining exertion and rest.

Gorky once said that "books are the ladder of human progress" in peacetime because learning busy and have no spare time to read reference books. Winter holiday is coming now, we just can use the time to read reference books.

"Has its own gold room in the book, the book has its own treasure to", so I decided to use this holiday season more than look at the name of the ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. Not only that I also want to consolidate the knowledge of this semester, prepare the knowledge of the next semester. I hope next semester moved on. Learning to lay a foundation for the next semester.

In the spare time to complete the teacher and parents the assignment, look at news concerned state affairs. In the time of the Spring Festival is not only to watch the Spring Festival gala, will eat dinner, visiting friends and relatives.

After the Spring Festival to loose heart a accept, to start put your heart in learning, the work can not continue to play. To the teacher and the school the assignment check check is done. Again next semester need to information and exercises will be ready.

This is my winter holiday life, my winter vacation I make decision.

光阴似箭，日月如梭，转眼之间寒假来临了。刚刚从忙碌紧张的期末考走出来。迎接的是轻松自由的寒假。

虽然寒假非常的短暂，但是我们不能因为寒假的短暂而随心所欲的玩，应该劳逸结合在玩的同时不能忘记学习。

高尔基曾经说过“书籍是人类进步的阶梯”在平时因为学习的忙碌而没有多余的时间看课外书。现在寒假已经来临，我们刚好可以利用这个时间看课外书。

“书中自有黄金屋，书中自有颜如玉”所以我决定利用这个假期多看看古今中外的名着。不但如此我还要巩固这个学期的知识点，预习下个学期的知识。希望下学期百尺竿头更进一步。为下一学期的学习打下基础。

在空余的时间完成老师和家长布置的作业，多看看新闻关心关心国家大事。在春节的时间不仅要观看春节联欢晚会，还要吃年夜饭，拜访亲友。

过完春节要将自己散漫的心收一收了，要开始把自己的心放在学习上，不能继续玩了。要把老师和学校布置的作业检查检查是否已经完成了。再把下一学期学习需要的资料和练习题都要准备好。

这就是我的寒假生活，我的寒假我做主。

I was so busy in the previous winter holiday for I am going to take the

university entrance exam in July this year. Everyday, I buried myself in

studying. I had to review each required subject and do lots of exercises.

Besides, because I did bad in mathematics and physics, I had to do much more

exercises than other courses, which made me discouraged. I spent more than ten

hours a day in studying. When I was tired, I watched TV or listened to music for

a little while. But It was a big pity that I couldnt go to the see cinema. In

addition, I had to refuse all the invitations of friends and relatives. I only

called them or sent messages in the New Year’s Eve. I desperately hoped that

there is no exam but I know it’s impossible. The only thing I can do is to study

hard to get good scores and can be admitted to Tsinghua University.

“元”为年之始，“旦”为日之晨。“元旦”即新年开始的第一天。

字面上看，“旦”生动地反映了旭日东升的形象，它下边的一横，代表着波涛澎湃的海面，一轮红日正从海上喷薄而出，放射出灿烂辉煌的光芒。把“元”和“旦”合在一起，就是要人们以蓬勃的朝气和奋发向上的精神迎接崭新的开始。

我国历代元旦月日并不一致。直到汉武帝时才恢复夏历，以正月初一为元旦，自此历代相沿未改。

辛亥革命后，我国又将春、夏、秋、冬定为四节，即元旦为春节，端午为夏节，中秋为秋节，冬至为冬节。把阳历1月1日称为新年，而不称元旦。1949年9 月27日，中国人民政治协商会议第一届全体会议通过使用公元纪年法，才将公历1月1日正式定为元旦。

所有采用公历（阳历）的国家，都是以每年1月1日为元旦。但世界上还有许多国家和民族由于使用的历法以及宗教信仰、风俗习惯、季节气候等不同，新年元旦的日期也就各不相同。

中国的元旦，据传说起于三皇五帝之一的颛顼，距今已有3000多年的历史。“元旦”一词最早出现于《晋书》：“颛帝以孟夏正月为元，其实正朔元旦之春”的诗中。南北朝时，南朝萧子云的《介雅》诗中也有“四季新元旦，万寿初春朝”的记载。宋代吴自牧《梦粱录》卷一“正月”条目：“正月朔日，谓之元旦，俗呼为新年。一岁节序，此为之首。”；汉代崔瑗《三子钗铭》中叫“元正”；晋代庾阐《扬都赋》中称作“元辰”；北齐时的一篇《元会大享歌皇夏辞》中呼为“元春”；唐德宗李适《元日退朝观军仗归营》诗中谓之“元朔”

中国元旦历来指的是夏历（农历、阴历）正月初一。元是“初”、“始”的意思，旦指“日子”，元旦合称即是“初始的日子”，也就是一年的第一天。在汉语各地方言中有不同叫法，有叫“大年初一”的，有叫“大天初一”的，有叫“年初一”的，一般又叫“正月初一”。

正月初一从哪日算起，在汉武帝以前也是很不统一的。因此，历代的元旦月、日也并不一致。夏朝的夏历以孟喜月（元月）为正月，商朝的殷历以腊月（十二月）为正月，周朝的周历以冬月（十一月）为正月。秦始皇统一中国后，又以阳春月（十月）为正月，即十月初一为元旦。从汉武帝起，才规定孟喜月（元月）为正月，把孟喜月的第一天（夏历的正月初一）称为元旦，一直沿用到满清末年。但这是夏历，亦即农历或阴历，还不是我们今天所说的元旦。

公元1911年，孙中山领导的辛亥革命，推翻了满清的统治，建立了中华民国。各省都督代表在南京开会，决定使用公历，把农历的正月初一叫做“春节”，把公历的1月1日叫做“元旦”。不过当时并未正式公布和命名。 为了“行夏正，所以顺农时，从西历，所以便统计”，民国元年决定使用公历（实际使用是1912年），并规定阳历（公历）1月1日为“新年”，但并不叫“元旦”。

今天所说的“元旦”，是新中国成立前夕的公元1949年9月27日，中国人民政治协商会议第一届全体会议，在决定建立中华人民共和国的同时，也决定采用世界通用的公元纪年法，即是我们所说的阳历.。

在当代，元旦指公元纪年的岁首第一天。为了区别农历和阳历两个新年，又鉴于农历二十四节气中的“立春”恰在农历新年的前后，因此便把农历正月初一改称为“春节”，阳历1月1日定为新年的开始“元旦”，并列入了法定假日成为全国人民的欢乐节日。

The happiest memory in my childhood was making snowman with my friends. As

I was a little boy, I always went out with my friends to make snowmen and play

with snow when it snowed heavily. We divided ourselves into several groups, two

or three people in each group. Then, we began to make our own snowman. We used

buttons to be snowmans eyes and carrots for its nose. After making our snowman,

we compared ours with others’ to decide whose snowman is the best. Sometimes, we

wrapped our scarfs around snowmen or put our caps on their head, so as to make

our snowman more beautiful. The last time I making a snowman was when I was in

university. But it snowed rarely these years. Thus, making snowman has become

the long-lost fun for me. How I hope it would be snowy this winter!

【模板】

Dear editor,

I know on your school English newspaper that the readers are expected to have a discussion on the topic of protecting Traditional Chinese Culture. The protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious social development. I have a strong desire to share my personal viewpoints on it.

In my opinion, some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture effectively. To begin with, we should make a law to regulate the society’s performance. What’s more, we should draw more people’s attention to it, for the more they know about the importance of culture protection, the stronger support we can get from the public.

In a word, it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable culture.

When I was very small, I was so envious about the adults, because they could do whatever they wanted and did not have to depend on their parents. For me, I did not have money and my parents limited my pocket money, so I couldn’t spend the money to buy whatever I wanted. It seems to me that being an adult is my only wish. Some day, I learned from the movie that being an adult was not that as perfect as I thought.

In the movie, the man struggled to earn money to pay his bills, what’s more, he had to stay away from his family.

Loneliness was always around him. To be independent means we can live our own way and make our own decision. We have more freedom. But at the same time, it also means more annoyance. So why just we enjoy this moment.

在我很小的时候,我很羡慕成年人,因为他们可以做任何他们想做的,不必依赖他们的父母。对我来说,我没有钱,我的父母限制我的零花钱,所以我无法花钱去买所有我想要的。似乎成为一个成年人是我唯一的愿望。有一天,我从这部电影中了解到，作为一个成年人也没有我想象中的那么完美。在电影中,那个人努力挣钱来支付他的账单,更重要的是,他不得不远离他的家人。寂寞总是是围绕着他。独立意味着我们可以有自己的方式生活,做自己的决定。我们有的自由。但与此同时,这也意味着的烦恼。所以为什么不享受这一刻呢。

Today is the 21stcentury, as the highly developed of technology, we

facilitate our life with all kinds of newly invented products, such as computer,

digital camera and so on. The technology products indeed brings us convenience,

the old way of doing things has been challenging. Before, people like to write

letters to say hi to others or send letters to give people information, while

today, people can use smart phone or computer to call others quickly, that saves

a lot of time. Does the way of writing letters will be kicked out and disappear?

Well, on my opinion, though people like to use the new technology, letter still

has its charm. Writing letters means someone is in sincere attitude, the one who

receives the letter will be touched deeply. Sometimes message is hard to use

phone to explain, then letters will be used. In a word, writing letter will be

not out of day.
