Joy in living comes from having fine emotions, trusting them, giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose, or put on from the outside a mask. People who have this joy don’t need to talk about it, they radiate it. They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight into other lives as nature as a bird sings.

生活的乐趣来源于良好的情绪，信赖这些情绪，并任由它们如鸟儿高飞于天空般的自由自在。生活的乐趣是无法靠姿态摆出来的，也无法用带上一张面具来伪装。拥有这种乐趣的人们无需挂在嘴上，他们自然会焕发出欢乐的气息。他们自己生活在快乐当中，也将这样的快乐自然而然的感染着他人，犹如是鸟儿就必将歌唱。

We can never get it from working for it directly. It comes, like happiness, to those who are aiming at something higher. It’s a byproduct of great, simple living. The joy of living comes from what we put into our living, not from what we seek to get from it.

直接追求生活的乐趣却只会使乐趣远离我们，它与幸福一样青睐胸有大志的人。生活过的高雅，简单就会产生出乐趣。它是我们对生活的投入，而非所求。

[大学英语作文：我的家乡

Now we are facing two problems of global warming and a shortage of natural

resources, both of which are getting more and more serious day by day. Thus, it

is important for us to promote a low-carbon lifestyle.

Low-carbon lifestyle covers many aspect of our life like transportation,

traveling, home-heating, and so on. In order to promote a low-carbon life, some

plans must be carried out as follows. Firstly, don’t waste any electricity and

water. Remember to turn off the lights and water taps unless we use them.

Secondly, we had better take the subways or bus to work, so as to reduce the

emissions of carbon dioxide. Thirdly, we should use cloth bags for shopping

instead of plastic bags, and use recyclable bowls and chopsticks instead of

disposable ones, for it can not only save resources, but also reduce pollution.

What’s more, it is of great significance to plant more trees, since trees can

balance the carbon dioxide emissions.

In a word, if we live a low-carbon life from now on, we will have a better

environment and more resources left for our descendants.

有人说：大学一年级往往“不知道自己不知道”，大学二年级就进了一步"知道自己不知道"，大学三年级时"不知道自己知道"，大学四年级"知道自己知道"。以下是小编给大家整理的我的大学生活作文的内容，欢迎大家查看。

“有些诗写给昨日和明日，有些诗写给爱恋，有些诗写给从来未曾谋面，但是在日落之前也从未放弃过的理想”，而我，则想写给我如诗的青春——我的大学。

常听人赞颂大学，说是怎样的无拘无束、海阔天空，但是，对我而言，似乎不是，因为经历了近一年的大学生活，发现我的大学生活从来没能符合这种理想。

在大学的校园里，上课的教室是不固定的，所以，每天我都必须为了上不同的课程而多次转移阵地，如此“曲折”的上课经历除了让我感到惊奇之外，更多的是难以置信。而除了上课时间，其他的空余时间都是自己安排，没有了固定的教室，没有老师盯着自习，于是我开始彷徨，因为似乎除了寝室，白天的空余时间没有地方可以去。图书馆总是人满为患，偌大的自修室虽然还有一些凳子是空的，可桌上却叠着高高的书本，尽管我有想要坐下的贼心，却没那个贼胆，因为等那些书的主人来了，我就得被恶狠狠地赶走了;当然，除了图书馆，还有六教可以自修，可悲的是，在初来大学的时候，我竟然不知道还有这样一个地方可以自修。

这些对于习惯了高中生活的我来说，都感觉难以适应。也许所谓的无拘无束的大学生活仅仅只是指没有了繁重的作业，没有了从早到晚的满满的课，没有了老师逼迫的自习……可是，于此同时，我们的课程也变得更难了，不是么?没有了老师的监督，我们又是否自觉了呢?如果没有将专业学好，我们的理想又要怎么办呢?其实，因为这样的自由，大学对我们的自身要求变得更高了，需要我们更努力地去学习、去奋进。

但是，不得不承认的是，大学这一年的生活也让我收获了很多快乐。

第一次走进这个陌生的校园，感觉好大、好美，月牙湖、凉亭、柳树、花朵……俨然错落有致，似乎是来到了一个精心设计的花园，虽没有水榭，亦没有楼阁，但是，一水一树一倩影，足矣。怀着欣喜的心情，我开始尝试着去体验身边的新鲜事物。

大学伊始，社团的招新活动早已开展地如火如荼，面对各种各样的社团，我也充满着热情和期待，填了两个向往已久的社团招新表格，接下来就是一轮接着一轮的面试，幸运的是，我都进了。在社团工作的日子，不能说是很轻松的，因为所选部门的原因，让我一直都很忙碌，学习之余的时间几乎都这样被瓜分了。但是，在社团里，和别人一起工作的日子是快乐满足的，我懂得了什么是团结合作，学会了怎样去和工作伙伴相处，在能力上也得到了锻炼，就这样，我和别人一起认真努力地工作着，有付出，也有收获。这也让我更加坚信一句话：“一朵孤芳自赏的花只是美丽，一片相互依恃着而怒放的锦绣才是灿烂”

大学生活最绚烂的一页，应该是新认识的好朋友了。同学、室友、工作的伙伴……一年的时光不短也不长，足可以让我们互相了解，读懂彼此。曾经一度我以为，大学里没有了同桌的陪伴，没有了从前的知心好友，我的大学生活终将会是孤独的，过去所有的一切都将只会变成美好的回忆，抚之怅然，却又无处可寻。可是，出乎意料之外的是，我又找到了新的好朋友，可以无话不说的好朋友，从前的好朋友们，也一直保持着联系，隔着电话，我们笑着回忆曾经一起时的快乐时光，分享在大学校园里遇见的趣事、乐事、伤心事……这样的生活很幸福，也很享受，我也很感谢上苍让我们这样真诚地拥有彼此，无论是曾经的，还是现在的好朋友。

如果说人生是一本书的话，那么大学无疑是我阅读过的最精彩的一页。尽管我觉得大学的生活并不轻松，反而是另一种辛苦，可是，我依然愿意享受地去品读其中的字字句句，用深情去朗诵这首青春的诗——我的大学。

Bathed in bright sunshine and beautiful our dear alma mater. Teachers of students walked hurriedly, but also with a dew of the flowers will be contests ... ... constitute a campus landscape plan.

In this piece of great vitality, you can imagine how it used to be like?

Without an advanced multi-media platform, class, chalk dust from time to time will "drill" into your nose so that you can not help to play a big sneeze. But if you came to my school, there will always surprise you.

Came to the school gate, the first thing you see should the number of those few characters in red: the new North River Primary School. Look, in the sunshine, then a few shiny plaque, giving a pleasant feeling.

Continue to move forward, the most striking place is the fountain of Nazuo! Peaks rising one after another like a layer upon layer of the water column, which also has a colorful statue; a few naughty cute bird flaps helplessly fledgling wings, eyes filled with not only ignorance, but also looking forward, eager to fly vast blue sky.

In the fountain to the left, has a small flower bed. Where trees, flowers, dew on the petals of a flower child in the colorful jumping, rolling; delicate green and yellow earth lightly stroked the earth, Feng ER blown it joyfully dancing, singing ... ... see, big tree Ficus are so tall and straight, head held high, Look East from time to time, as if thinking about our greatest respect.

Continue to move forward, it is our playground. Every day, everyone in a vigorous manner the students exercise, vowed to have a strong physique, in order to serve the motherland. Well, two students were running the plastic on the runway. See this scene, I could not help think: Three years ago, the school using a cinder track, running up and dust ... ... Until now, our school put on the plastic track, that we can best play the best level of ... ...

I love my beloved teacher, I love my dear classmates, but even more love my school, because it changed beautiful!

On New Years Eve,all the family people get together to have a big dinner in the resturant.It make our family people get toghther.We enjoy ourselves and in the new year we all strive hard.

首先我经常听音乐，我先洗澡然后去吃早饭，后来我做作业吃午饭，之后我可以在2-4点睡一小会，我可以玩电脑踢足球，最后我吃晚饭睡觉。

在除夕夜的时候，我的家人坐在一起在饭店吃团圆饭。这是我的家人团聚。我们很享受并且在新年我们都将你努力奋斗。

今天吃完饭后，我坐在沙发上，对我的大学生活展开了无限的想象。

我，幻想到了我们的校园：东边是许多同学向往的游戏地方，几个阳光大男孩在操场是玩耍，你追我赶；西边是学校里生意葱茏的竹林，翠色x流的绿色让人神清气爽，；南边是我们学校知识的地方，朗朗的读书声从教室里传来；北面是敞开的学校大门，上面“长”了许多“尖刺”，为的是不让小偷轻易进入。

我，幻想到了我们的校服：走廊上，千奇百怪的涂鸦映入眼帘。“还我钓鱼的岛！”“为中华之崛起而读书”呀，原来这些都是爱国的好青年啊！“垫‘十里香’牌鞋垫，要脚不要脸。”“喝肾宝，长生不老。”哟，这些青年长大的梦想原来是做推销员哪！“偶滴肾哪！”“今天不是个好日子。”哎，这些青年正处在伤心的境界。“偶是阎王老子，偶最大！”“我住精神病院302室。”这这---让我叫他们是什么青年好呢？

哎呀！爸爸叫我一起上街，拜拜，下次见！

My father is busy all the time, he promises me that once he has the time,

he will bring me to the zoo. This week, he finally keeps his promise. I am so

happy, I see many animals, the monkeys impress me so much. They are so active

and they climb everywhere. My father and I have the good time in the zoo. I also

broaden my vision.

从小到大，大学就如同一道金色的光环，笼罩在我的心头，它催发着我为之苦熬十年寒窗，早起晚睡，经历一次又一次的考试，几家欢喜几家愁。最后，那十几年的汗水与泪水在一处升华了。

梦想变成现实的那一天，心目中对大学的千千万万种设想纷至沓来，不可抵挡，我的大学生活究竟应该是怎样的呢？

我想，大学首先应该是一座学术的殿堂。那里学者如云，充斥着浓厚的学术氛围和最高新的前沿学术思想。在这座殿堂里，没有世俗的高低贵贱的等级和尊卑，却有的是平等的交流和不同观点的碰撞和融汇，教授与普通的学生可以促膝交谈，精密合作，学者们也永远是用一副平易近人的温和态度来的研究信息和新领域的开拓态势，学校内定期也会举办一些学术论坛以及辩论会等等，尽量使同学们的思维保持在不断的思考、发掘和永无止境的探索之中，从而解决在学术上的争端。

其次，我觉得大学还是一方安静而干净的乐土，他是如茶那般高雅，如玫瑰那样迷人，那里的学术气氛不为当今社会的物欲横流所困扰，也不为某些世俗的沉渣恶习所污染，它是那么的与众不同。在大学的校园里，没有自私虚伪，尔虞我诈，同学们和睦相处，真诚地为学识和知识而拼搏和奋斗，为不远的将来而储备和打拼，从而能在竞争日益激烈的社会大潮中做一个优秀的掌舵手。

大学生活是一个多元化的人生舞台。在这个舞台上，每一个人都在扮演着不同的角色，有着不可取代的位置。所以，我认为，大学里各色各样的社团和学生会的存在则为同学们发挥个性，创造自我准备了充足的条件，它们便是一个小型化社会，在那里，可以发挥自身的特长，也可以学到实用的人际交往的知识，同时，社团的自我管理和自主教育精神。

大学生，无疑是最具知识和活力的，他们乐观向上、积极进取、开朗洒脱、意兴飞扬，他们有着指点江山，粪土当年万户般的豪情与壮志；有着虚心竹有低头叶，傲骨梅无仰面花般的耿直与谦逊；有着出淤泥而不染，濯清涟而不妖般的高尚品质。

在大学之中，作为一名大学生，我们应该是大学的主人，是大学的捍卫者，是梦想的追随者，是继往开来的开拓者，是品味生活美酒的幸运儿。

这是我的大学畅想曲，节奏鲜明、悦耳动听，其间的每一个音符都在远方热烈的召唤……

Dear Friend Thank You For your Love

Dear friend Lucy, thank you for your love. We get on well with each other in day-to-day lives. As for my friend, you always help me with my study. When I have a few

difficulties, you always encourage me to get over difficulties.

Do you remember? Last semester, I forgot to do my homework. So the next day, I wanted to copy your homework. Because I really didn’t want to be criticized. But you

said you couldn’t lend your homework to me, it was very bad solution. Even if I said I would never do it except this time. Please lent me your homework. But you still

said maybe it would start a bad habit. I should do my own homework. So I was pretty angry. I said I wouldn’t become your friend anymore. A few days later, I thought I

was sorry. So I told you to forgot this thing. I wanted to make friends with you. And I was happy you said OK.

Now I ‘m certain you are my best friend. Dear friend Lucy, thank you for your love.

Thanksgiving began with the first European settlers in America. They

gathered their crops, celebrated and gave thanks for the food.

Tradition says Pilgrim settlers from England celebrated the first

thanksgiving in sixteen twenty-one. There is evidence that settlers in other

parts of America held earlier thanksgiving celebrations. But the Pilgrims

thanksgiving story is the most popular.

The Pilgrims were religious dissidents who fled oppression in England. They

went first to the Netherlands. Then they left that country to establish a colony

in North America. The Pilgrims landed in sixteen twenty in what later became

known as Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Their voyage across the Atlantic Ocean was difficult. Their first months in

America were difficult, too. About one hundred Pilgrims landed just as autumn

was turning to winter. During the cold months that followed, about half of them

died.

We will never forget our freshman year at college. In general it is a time filled with anticipation, some anxiety, and wonderful discoveries.

College is much different than high school. You may decide to commute from your home to a local campus. Without doubt, the most dramatic freshman year is for those living away from home. What can we expect as we head off into the wonderful world of higher education?

The first thing I notice is the workload. It is heavier and more intense than I ever experienced before. The major challenges of college work are large volume of reading, short deadlines, and “endless” writing. A related effect that can be brought on by the workload is doubt, frustration, and loneliness if possible.

On some of those long, seemingly endless nights of studying and writing, it will be very natural for me to long for fine old days. Hang in there. These down periods will pass.

I have made a lot of new friends. I am sure college friendships will be among the most satisfying and long-term in my life. Its always exciting to discover how wonderfully diverse college relationships can be.

I am enjoying my newfound freedom. Stay up until dawn talking about my ideals and ambitions with my dorms regular bull session buddies. Sleep in until the afternoon on a light class day. Explore the local town or suburbs with one or two of my new friends.

I even start to think about my future. Going to college is as much about finding out who am I as it is about getting the degree.
