英语作文给好友的一封信(经典20篇)

Ali Baba quickly got as many bags of gold as his mules could carry, and

then put them in the sack; after that he placed the wood upon the gold so firmly

that the gold couldn’t be seen.

Then Ali Baba rode home with his mules, and carried the wood with bags of

gold into the house. After placing them on the floor, his wife came out with

porridge, “How are you today?” and his wife; Ali Baba smiled, “Better than

usual,” then he quickly poured the wood out, and under it was bags of gold. Ali

Baba’s wife was also astonished to find their good fortune. Ali Baba was pleased

as well.

His wife loved the gold so much, that she wanted to know how many pieces

there were. After dinner, his wife began to count, but Ali Baba stopped her and

said, “Wife, as much as it is to hear but you will never finish counting; if you

don’t finish today and wait for tomorrow then you will have to start from

scratch again.”

“You are right husband, but I still want to figure how much we have. How

about this, I will go to your brother Cassim’s house and borrow a measure, and

then measure how much we have, okay?” Ali Baba agreed, for he was almost the

person in the world to find out how much they have.

And so the next morning Ali Baba’s wife went to Cassim’s house to borrow a

measure, Cassim’s wife came out and said, “Sister, we have lots of measures; you

are welcome to borrow any one of them.” And then she went to the basement, and

got a bag of measure, and then Ali Baba’s wife picked one and went back to her

house. When she approached, she knelt down and began to measure. After a short

time, she went to Cassim’s house again to return the measure, not noticing that

one piece of gold coin stuck to the bottom of the measure. “Here you are

sister,” she said as she put the measure down, “I have finished using it.” And

then went away.

Cassim’s wife did not take long to realize the piece of pure gold coin. She

took it off and called Cassim, “Husband, I know you suspect that you are a rich

fellow; but your brother Ali Baba is ten times as rich as you, he does not count

his money; but measures them.”

Cassim looked at the gold coin and knew at once, “Ali Baba just pretended

that he was a poor fellow and borrows anything we have,” Cassim was not even

pleased at his brother’s good fortune, but was the opposite. And then Cassim led

his wife to Ali Baba’s house, “Ali Baba, tell me, where did you get all of this

good fortune.” At that moment, Ali Baba knew that the secret had been spread

though his own wife’s stupidity. “Look Ali Baba, if you don’t tell me where you

got this gold; I shall tell everybody, and not only will you get no more, but

you will have no more gold in the rest of your life! Ha!” laughed Cassim.

And so Ali Baba told him where he found the gold, and even the words he

knew of how to make the door open and shut. And so Cassim woke up early the next

morning, and took with his ten donkeys to fill the gold. He arrived at the place

where Ali Baba had told him, and pronounced these words, “Open Sesame!” the door

instantly opened wide, and inside of course; he found a chamber of pure gold,

and in it was gold.

Cassim filled as many bags of gold as he wanted. But when the robbers

arrived he was still filling. When the robbers found out, they used their swords

and soon killed him.

Nowadays, most people, especially those who live in the country, want to

move to the city. But is the city life perfect? Every coin has two sides.

现在很多人，特别是那些生活在农村的人，都想去都市生活。但是，都市生活真的很好吗?每面硬币都有两面，每件事都有利有弊。

Its true that things seem to be more convenient in some ways such as

finding jobs, transportation service, etc. Also places for relaxing like parks

and hotels are attractive.

事实上，有些事似乎(因为在城市生活而)变得更方便，比如找工作、交通运输服务等等。有些供人放松的地方也非常吸引人，比如公园和旅馆。

But we have to say something bad, too. The environment is awful because the

population is too large and too much rubbish make the air unfresh.We have to pay

lots of money on our life including the bad things above!

但是，我们也必须说些弊端。因为众多的人口和大量的垃圾污染了空气，所以(城市)环境是很可怕的。我们必须花费非常多的钱在(改善)生活方面，其中便包括之前提到的那些不好的事。

In my opinion, we must take a correct attitude to it. No matter where we

are, we can creat our own sky if we try our best!

在我看来，我们必须采取正确的态度去面对都市生活。无论我们在哪儿，我们都可以尽自己所能，创造出一片属于自己的天空!

Every night before going to bed， I have to drink a glass of milk， which has

become a habit. Mother said that its good to drink milk before going to bed and

sleep soundly. Its also good for my health. And every night before going to

bed， I send me a cup of fragrant milk. I began to take it for granted： "When I

was in junior high school， I should supplement more nutrition."

Until one day， I found that my mother came home from work every day and

said she was tired， and her legs ached from time to time. I advised her to go

and have a look. But she always said for a few days， when she was not busy. But

I havent seen it yet. I was so worried about my mothers health that I wanted

to find a time to go to the hospital with her.

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.

There was once a little turtle that wanted to be the fasted animal in the

jungle, everybody laughed at him and said that he could never be the fasted

animal ever. But the turtle didn’t listen to them, and instead, he decided to

learn and study from the wild hare; he was the fasted animal in the jungle oh

yes. In fact, every animal went to learn from the hare had become the fasted

runners too. When the turtle told the hare that he wanted to be the fasted

runner in the jungle, the hare laughed high over heels aloud; “Oh, oh!” cried

the hare, “Turtle, if you want to be the fasted, then you must get that big

shell of your back, Ha-ha!”

The turtle was not very happy about what he had just heard from the hare,

and he eventually decided to prove to him that it was his duty to be the fasted

runner of the jungle. “How about this, I and you have a race;” said the turtle

suddenly, the hare laughed aloud again, “Oh turtle, turtle; please don’t tell me

that you are not going to give up!” “I am not, I have the heart inside my body,

and I do not believe that I couldn’t be the fasted runner in the jungle!” the

hare then finally agreed to race with him.

When the time arrived, the turtle got ready; when the sound began to blow,

the turtle walked along slowly. While the hare in the other case hopped about

happily. “Does he really think that he could beat me?!” shouted the hare, “That

would be a dream in his brain;” said the hare again. When he was almost at the

finish line, the hare said to him, “I shall take a rest, then when I get up the

turtle still behind my tail; and I cross the finish line, using my rest energy;”

saying that, the hare lay down asleep. The turtle still didn’t give up; he soon

found the hare, and crossed him quietly, when he reached the finish line, he

cried out loud; when the hare woke up, found the turtle still wasn’t in front of

him.

He hopped about happily, and when he reached the line, he found the turtle

already resting on a rock. The hare was so shocked that he lay down on the grass

just like that he fainted. And so the turtle became the champion; nobody ever

laughed at him ever again, and whenever some animals wanted to learn running,

they did not go to ask the hare; since he was not yet the fastest any more,

instead they went to the turtle to get advice from their new jungle running

lesson teacher.

Dear Mr.Shakespeare ,

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude. i am referring to that

unfortunate accident the other day , when I was hit by taxi.

If it had not been for your timely assistance in giving me first aid , I

felt that the consequences might have much more serious. Everyone agrees that it

was your quick-witted response in that emergency that has led to this

satisfactory outcome.

Although more and more people today talk about the need to be unselfish ,

we see very few people pracice what they preach. If there were more people like

you , this world would be a much nicer place.

Yours sincerely ,

Li Ming

尊敬的莎士比亚先生：

我写信是为了表达我衷心的感谢。我指的是那天我被出租车撞到的不幸事故。

当时如果不是那您及时伸出援手对我进行急救，恐怕后果会更严重。大家一致认为，正是您在那种紧急的情况下的机敏反应才带来这令人满意的结果。

尽管现在越来越多的人谈论无私的必要性，但是我们看到很少有人言行一致。如果有更多像您一样，这个世界将会更加美好。

您真诚的，

李明

Can Money Buy Happiness?

Can money buy happiness? Different people have different opinions. Some

think yes, while others hold the opposite.

It is true that with enough money one can buy all the things one wants, and

live a life of comfort and security. However, it is equally true that lack of

money causes great distress. It is a common view that "money is the root of all

evil." The pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal. In some

places there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, resulting in corrupt

societies where everybody is miserable.

So, money does not necessarily mean happiness. It all depends on how it is

used. If we make honest and sensible use of money, it can be a stepping-stone to

happiness l Although money cannot buy happiness, it can make happiness possible

if it is employed sensibly.

金钱能买来幸福吗?

金钱能买来幸福吗?不同的人有不同的回答。有的人认为能，有的人则持相反的意见。

诚然一个人如果有足够的钱可以买到他想要的所有物品，过上舒适稳定的生活。然而，同样缺钱往往引起巨大的忧伤。人们常常认为“金钱是万恶之源”，对金钱的追求驱使许多人去骗去偷。在某些地方，没有钱买不到的东西，导致社会的腐化堕落。

所以，金钱并不一定就意味着幸福。这取决于怎样使用金钱，如果我们诚信明智地使用金钱，它将是幸福的基石。尽管金钱买不到幸福，但它可以使幸福成为可能。

Housework? Honestly speaking I never do houseworks. My mum does all of

them. I hate doing houseworks because it is boring and tiring, and Learning

English is boring and tiring enough for me. Whenever my mum ask me to wash

dishes for her I shout to her "No Way! Study is already impossibly hard for me

and more housework can only drive me closer to madness." Thats all I know about

housework.

A tree has three main parts, the roots, the branches and the leaves. Under

the ground, the roots spread out so that the tree can stand firm. Above the

ground, the roots form the trunk, and the trunk supports the branches.

Near the top of the tree, the trunk divides into branches. At the top of

the tree, the leaves grow out of the branches. the leaves receive sunlight to

help the whole tree grow.

Dear John Brown，

you tell me when the summer camp will start where the summer camp hold? Then I

want to know how money I should pay for the summer camp? At last ，could you tell

me some requirements?

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
