我的影子英文诗(实用20篇)

Be grateful for friends

It is a celebrating day. I got in touch with Michael whom I have been losing contact for one year.

It is really magic. I was searching online aimlessly yesterday when an idea struck me suddenly: since Ben can find out my secret by keying in my name in the search engines, why cant I do so, either?

I intended to find out something about Ben in revenge in the first place, but soon extend my name list to a wider category. It was then that I recalled Michael suddenly.

We have lost contact since our last correspondence in my senior 3. He mentioned to me in his last letter that he was preparing for going to UK to further his education. I, shamefully, was too busy to reply his mail then. When I was recommended to ZJU and won the final freedom, I thought he had already been in UK so I had no idea where to write him.

I used to think that we would never meet again. However, when I browsed the entries about him, I found out excitedly that he is still in P.R.C.!!

Without a moment hesitation, I ran upstairs to my dorm and found out my old address book. Thank goodness, his home no was still there.

After 3 times calling with no answer replies, I eventually got him on the phone. He was more surprised than I could imagine that when I asked for his hp no he was too nervous to remember it.

Life is enjoyable in moments such like this. Old friends meet again surprisingly, on a road of their own ways to their dreams. They look at the face of each other, and recognize the old pal. It is such moment that makes me feel grateful to life: whenever I set off for a new destination, I see I have friends in the same direction, with whom I wont feel alone any more.

Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.

Last week, I received a post card from my friend, which was from Thailand,

I felt so excited, because I always wanted to travel abroad. So I was so eager

to talk to my friend. She showed me the sceneries. I found different sceneries

in different cities. For the first time, I saw the outside world so closely. I

want to explore the world and know more about this planet. I realized the

importance of learning English. If I master more words, then I can communicate

with the local people and learn about their culture. From now on, I must study

hard. When I have the chance to travel abroad, I can have a trip.

Whatever a man’s status is (may be)， he must have an aim。 If not， he can

hardly stand on his own two feet in the world。 That stands to reason。However

important fame and wealth may be， we must not let them bee our object in life。

We should aim at doing something useful to the society。If my aim can e true， I

hope (wish) to be a teacher。 However， teaching is by no means an easy thing。 I

must apply myself closely to my studies so as to be able to cope with my duties

(as a teacher)。

每个做生意的人都是有拼命赚钱的时候，而那天和我在稻田里看到的那个身影，令我记忆忧新。——题记

正午一点，烈日当空照，火辣辣的太阳像一个大火球织地照射着大地，给人一种炎热的感觉。就在这时，接到通知，我这几天要接到乡下住。于是，爸爸便顶着烈日半我送往乡下。

一到达目的地，我便看到了眼前的一幕，现在的气温足足有35摄氏度。一位年老的农民头上戴着一顶破草帽，草帽在阳光照射下发出刺眼的金色光芒，他的双臂旁，豆大的汗珠不断的从他的头上滑落下来，泥土地里已有一个巴掌大的深水迹，有几缕银灰色的头发湿哒哒地贴在脸上。看着这样一幅场景，我的心不禁有一些酸痛：这么热的天，这个老爷爷还这么拼命的干活，而且衣衫褴褛，一点都看不出富裕。

他的手奋力拿着链刀，卖力将稻果谷割下来，放进盘子里，并且断断续续，一点也不利索，可见这位让人值得尊敬的农民是干了多了久，多么辛苦呀！他时不时挫下来休息，时不时用衣袖擦擦额头上的汗珠，而且那脸上通红的神色，又仿佛看到了一个人为了奋力完成自己想做的事，最多么坚持不懈，是多么不怕困难，是多么辛苦！劳累！这份执着，好比割稻的镰刀，那样锋利，好赛立即割去了夏日的炎热，令我整人浑浊身轻松。

大约过了十几分钟，远处突然一道银光闪过，接着一声震耳欲聋响声传来，轰隆隆的雷不绝于耳，顿时豆大的雨点从天而降，那位纷纷用雨伞，挡住已经拨开皮的稻子，他赶紧把稻子挪入伞内，我注意他把大部分伞都来遮稻子了，微驼的背露在雨中，尽管这样，一阵大风刮来，一些雨点还是落了进去。那位农民的脸上不禁出现了“一片乌云”，因为浸湿的米就不好卖了，看着那一盘稻子，我不禁一阵心酸。

在回去的路上，我一直想着那位农民，不知他的米卖得出去卖不出去……

Today is June 21st, Fathers Day. There is an indescribable feeling in my

heart, because I am not by their side, my parents are over 50 years old, and a

son cannot be filial by his side, and when the family is busy with farming, he

has to go to the construction site to sell his coolies in exchange for a little

bit. Poor wages.

I deeply remember the year when I went to school in 1999, my father told me

a sentence: "I can only put you in the car, and the future is up to you." I

understand what he meant, he was in Tell me that your brother went to a normal

school, and I will also enroll you in a secondary school. After school,

everything is up to you. My fathers teachings are like a lamp, illuminating my

future and inspiring me all the time.

I am a native rural boy. At some point our way out is to go to school. My

three brothers and sisters all went to secondary school, which is a huge expense

for a rural family. But in the eyes of my parents, we must be more promising

than them, not to farm at home, even if the family is busy with farming, we

should read books at home. I clearly remember that when I was in the first grade

of junior high school, my father and mother were working in the farmland. When I

went home to fetch water to drink in the field, I found that I was not reading,

but watching TV at home. Dad was very angry at the time, and asked me to take

the book and follow him. I followed him in despair. When he got to the field, he

asked me to read books there. He even found an umbrella for me so that I would

not be exposed to the sun. Although Dads eyes were harsh, they were more warm

and caring. At the time, I didnt understand the good intentions of my parents,

but now I really feel guilty when I think about it.

Dad, today is Fathers Day. In the past 28 years, you have done so much for

us. I can never repay in my life. I hope you are happy every day, healthy and

safe.

Whenever I walk heavy, I can always remember the power of your gaze and

move forward. Dad, you are my crutch at all times, give me support, give me

direction, give me strength, so that I can walk every step of the way in the

future. Even if you are not by my side, that deep fatherly love will still help

me forever!

Now that I have become a father, I have a deeper understanding of the kind

of expectation and care I have for my children. Dad I will always love you.

Again, I wish the parents of the world good health and long life.

Yesterday, the weather was good, cloudless. My father and I went to the military are playing Ski Resort. We wear gloves, hats, armed to come to the ski slopes. Ski resort built on a hillside, looking ahead, the white snow everywhere. Built on the hillside like a long white carpet. I help my father in the next, put on ski boots, foot on skis, I looked at the sloping slopes, she did not hesitate to slip down. I seem to fly up, ears only hear the sound of the wind. Soon he went to the lower slope. Time always flies in the joy of particularly fast. Seeing red is gone, we reluctantly left this lovely world of ice.

On March 8th, 1975, the United Nation started to celebrate the International Women’s Day. In China, the women’s day also called “March 8th”day. Why we celebrate women’s day? There is a long story.

On March 8th, 1909, the Women’s Union of Chicago demonstrated against the inequality between men and women. They demanded that they should have the same payments, the same working hours as men had, and they should have the rights to vote. They even put forward a slogan: Bread and Rose, which stood for equal payment and a better living standard. This demonstrated had caused international attention to the women’s rights. A year later, a critical meeting was held in Demark, in order to promote the women’s liberation and equal rights, the council members decided to establish the Women’s Day on March 8th. Then March 8th, 1911 just became the first Women’s day.

In our country, during the women’s day, the women usually have a day-off holiday. The communities or companies will organize the recreational activities such as a spring outing, a nice dinner and some extra welfare. On this special day, the women can really realize that a woman’s value is not only giving birth to a child, doing endless housework, but also find her own status in the modern society. That is she can make a different. She can do everything that a man can do. When you look around, you will find that more and more women are acting as scientists, doctors, lawyers, even leaders. Just try to remember, women rule half of this world. The life could quite different without their wisdom and beauty.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Without exception,everyone has to make choices in life,whether they concern school,career,or love.While some choices are simple,one cannot avoid the task of making difficult decisions.

Choices are often directly related to ones happiness.University students,for example,face a hard and crucial decision upon graduating.Many students have difficulty deciding whether to continue studying or begin developing a career.Every individual is different,and one must take the factors of ones personal life into consideration.In addition to an awareness of specific circumstances,however,making the right choice also depends on correct appraisal of oneself.

In order to choose correctly,therefore,one must be both realistic and self aware.Furthermore,once having made a decision,one should seriously accept and pursue the path one has chosen,and strive towards the realization of ones goal with spirit.

It was a fine day today and the sun was bright. I visited Beijing Zoo with

my classmate, He Song. The animals were so interesting that all the people loved

them. When a bear asked for some food by waving its ann, a visitor threw

something to it. At once I went up to him and said without thinking,Dont do

that. Its bad for it. If you really love them, take good care of them. His

face turned red and answered he wouldnt do that again.

Deep Mother Love-深沉的母爱

Every child is surrounded by the deep mother love. However, we often turn a blind eye to the love. One day I deeply felt the love.

One day I hurried home for lunch after school, because there would be an exam in the afternoon and I had expected to go back to school early to prepare for the exam. But when I got home, the lunch was not ready yet. I felt unhappy. When the dishes were served, I forund none I like. I ran out of my house angrily and wanderde on the street for a while,hungry. Then I walked to school.

When I got into the classroom, I saw a lunch box on my desk. One classmate told me that it was my mother ther that had brought it here.After opening the box, I found my favorite food inside. My eyes was moist with tears.

Mother gave me her love without asking for return, How deep mother love is!

每个孩子都被深沉的母爱包围着，然而我们经常对这种爱视而不见。一天我深深感受到了这种爱。

一天放学后我匆忙回家吃午饭，因为下午考试，我希望早一点回校准备考试。但是我到家时午饭还没有准备好，我很不高兴。饭菜端上来时，我发现没有一样是我喜欢的。我生气地跑出了家门，饿着肚子在街上游荡了一会，然后往学校走去。

走进教室后，我看到书桌上有一个午餐盒，一个同学告诉我那是我妈妈送来的。打开盖子，里面是我喜欢吃的。我的眼睛湿润了。

妈妈无私地把爱给了我，却不求任何回报。多么深沉的母爱啊!

我的学习计划(My Study Plan)

Today is March 8th, the new term, the last but the most important term of junior high has been on for more than seven days. It means that there are only about three months left for us to study.

We suddenly feel that time passes so fast. We still remember the first day we come to this famous middle school, but now, two and a half years has passed. Have you ever looked back and thought, what you did and learnt in the two and a half years? And how much did you learn from teachers, books or in any other ways?

To ask yourselves, have you ever wasted time? If you say “never”, that’s very good. But if you say “Yes, often,” it is so regretful. But everything has passed anyhow, we can’t get it back, so the only thing we can do is, to make better use of the time.

From now on, study hard. It’s not so late that everything can’t be changed yet. Everything is possible only if you try your best to do it. Believe yourselves, “Every man has his price.” Maybe you are good at study, you are good at singing or you do well in drawing……

So I always believe myself no matter where, no matter when. It’s very important, I think. Let’s try our best and put our heart into it. Wish you make good results in the last exam.

at present some people think that money is everything. they say that you can do everything if you have money. you can live in a beautiful house, keep a luxurious ear and have all sorts of delicious food.

i dont think so. indeed, money can buy a lot of things we need. but there are many, many wonderful things in the world that cannot be bough/; with money.

for example, knowledge cannot be bought with money. one cannot be rich in knowledge unless he studies hard. time cannot be bought with money, either. who can buy even a second with money?

there are still many other things that cannot be bought with money: health,life, happiness,friendship, love and so on. just think, if a person hasnt these things at all, is the money still useful?

now, do you think money is everything?

A folk culture is a small isolated， cohesive， conservative， nearly self-sufficient group that is homogeneous in custom and race with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals. Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family and interpersonal. Relationships are strong. Tradition is paramount， and change comes infrequently and slowly. There is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties. Rather， each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks， though duties may differ between the sexes. Most goods are handmade and subsistence economy prevails. Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo America is the Amish， a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving devices of the industrial age. In Amish areas， horse drawn buggies still serve as a local transportation device and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles. The Amish＇s central religious concept of Demut "humility"， clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect. The religion， a variety of the Mennonite faith， provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order.

By contrast a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group often highly individualistic and a pronounced many specialized professions. Secular institutions of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order， and a money-based economy prevails. Because of these contrasts， "popular" may be viewed as clearly different from "folk". The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations. Folk-made objects give way to their popular equivalent， usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced， is easier or time saving to use or leads more prestige to the owner.

玫瑰花生长在小河边，当她低头俯望时，在小河里看到了自己美丽的影子：鲜艳的面容，娇嫩的皮肤，婀娜的身姿……她十分得意。

可是，她听一只飞来歇息的花蝴蝶说：她之所以这么美丽，这么鲜嫩，完全是由于埋藏在泥土里的根的作用，这让她很不高兴。

“我的美丽，我的香气，完全是我自己的，和它有什么关系呢？”她低头望着河水里自己美丽的影子，影子像跳舞似的摇动着腰肢。她不禁想：“但愿我能和影子调换一下位置，我还照样地美，但是根本用不着根，而且自由自在，不像现在这样拴在这里不能动弹。唉！

什么时候才能从这讨厌的枝子上飞开啊！

”有一天，微风把她一瓣一瓣地从花托上吹到水里去的时候，她高兴极了，禁不住对自己说：“这下可好了，我总算可以跟我的影子调换位置了，我终于可以跟讨厌的根断绝关系了——当一想到她竟然跟泥土粘在一起的时候，我就感到恶心。”当她四分五裂地躺在河水里以后，更高兴地发现：河里的玫瑰花已经不见啦，这不正是让位给她的表示吗？

可是，还没等她构思好讽刺根的话语，就已经被河水冲走了。

39、The lure of money is far less important than the conscience of a man. You cant be a good person and never do good. Adhering to the principle of being a person, taking responsibility for others unwillingness to take responsibility, will eventually achieve the success that others cannot achieve.

40、Really strong, not the beginning has a strong power, or rich and powerful, but because of things to the person responsible, in the process of responsibility dig out my potential, is becoming more and more powerful.

41、Rather than investigating who made the mistake, research how to solve the problem. If we all take the initiative to take some responsibility, the work will be much smoother. Even if it is not our fault, if we can help others, it is not others who benefit, but ourselves.

42、One of the most important things in life is to form good habits and go all out to do them. Good habits make you more educated, more knowledgeable and more efficient and more successful.

43、Most of the time, what you dont like is best for people. Doing a little bit of "drudgery" that you dont like every day will eventually give us the confidence and energy of our willpower.

44、Dont let your energy be tied to anything that doesnt matter. Learn to take the big things out of the small, and to get the most out of the big things.

45、Everyone has a desire to talk, and they want others to "listen" to their inner voice, to meet the needs of others, and to make more people like you. "Listening" is a means of communication and a personal accomplishment.

46、When you need help, dont be stingy with your words: "help me... "A word not only solves your difficulties, but also makes it possible for you to make a good friend and ask others to help you. In fact, it is also an opportunity for others to develop and improve.

47、In an era of continuous development, it is not the most important factor for how to start a major. Who has a stronger sense of learning, who is better at learning, who has mastered the key to success.

48、Without the habit of analyzing problems, we can ignore many valuable information and miss out on many good opportunities. People who like to analyze, can always think of a layer more than others, think more deeply.

49、The change of external environment, today more and more quickly than in the past, no matter what your situation, will continuously collecting the relevant information, make oneself to the trend of the development of the environmental development in the direction of the new jobs are fully understand. The more a person knows, the more able he is to strain early.

50、When it comes to things and problems, whether it is learning or life, dont be afraid. In fact, it is often not because things are difficult that we do not do, but often because we do not do, things are difficult.

From: George Chen, Accounting Department

Date: January 22, 2003

Subject: Application for annual leave

Dear Mr. Smith，

I would like to apply for an annual leave from January 25th to 31st.

As you may know the Spring Festival is falling on February 1st this year. Its the most important holiday in China and offers the best occasion for family reunion. However, over the past 3 years I missed the reunions due to tight work schedule. Now that I have wrapped up my work for this year, I would like to go back to my hometown to pay filial piety to my parents and help my sole brother prepare his wedding on January 28th.

Its indeed double happiness for my family that I would like to be part of. Coupled with the official holidays for the Spring Festival, I will have two weeks off which will definitely gear me up for better work in the new year. Im looking forward to your kind answer.

Best regards,

George Chen
