介绍自己的英语作文及翻译（推荐20篇）

我叫xxx，今年13岁了，我身高1.55米。弯弯的眉毛，鼻子端正，唇似绽桃，笑的时候总露出光洁闪亮的牙齿。

我有一个缺点，就是胆小。记得有一次上课，老师提问，我明明会回答，可是不敢举手发言，老师突然叫我的名字，我当时很紧张慢慢的站起来，我不像别人那绘声绘色的回答，而是用语无伦次像蚂蚁那么小的声音回答，吞吞吐吐，在老师的鼓励下，我终于说完了，老师对我说：“回答的很好，如果声音再大一点，那会更好的。”老师说完，着下子我才不紧张些。瞧我那胆小的样子。

随着年龄的增长，胆小的缺点慢慢的改了，我开始喜欢水粉画了。每当双休日我都会拿起笔画画，我多么希望自己能够当上一名伟大的艺术家。对了，我还有一个优点，就是喜欢看书。如果我闲着没事做，我都会拿起一本书，坐在沙发上看书。天长日久，日积月累，我现在学习越来越好了。

胆小是我的性格，画画和看书是我的爱好，朋友们，你们觉得我怎么样呢?

My new teacher

The new semester has begun。 Every thing seems the same as before， except one thing。 That is our class has a new English teacher。 His name is Yang yang， but we always call his English name， Robert。 He is young and sunshine。 He just graduated from university。 His pronunciation is very good and I like his spoken English。 Robert is humorous and his class is interesting and lively。 Except for the textbook， he finds many other articles for class teaching， such as songs， movies and cartoons。 He says that we can learn more from what we are interested in。 I like this new teacher。

作文翻译：

新学期已经开始了。除了一件事以外，每一件事看起来都和原来一样。那就是我们班来了个新的英语老师。他的名字叫杨阳，但是我们经常叫他的英文名Robert。他年轻阳光，刚刚从大学毕业。他的发音很标准，我很喜欢他的口语。Robert很幽默，他的课堂生动有趣。除开课本，他还找了很多文章进行课堂教 学，比如歌曲，电影和卡通。他说我们可以从我们感兴趣的东西学到更多。我喜欢这位新老师。

都在学校上五年级，城乡有别、地域不同，学校的条件也不一样。就像教材里面讲的：你们的校园也许像一座美丽的花园，绿草如茵，花团锦簇，也许仅仅有几座平房，几颗老树，一个小小的操场。但，不管怎样不同，在学校生活了几年，校园生活已经成了你童年不可分割的一部分。细细体会，感到格外的熟悉和亲切。这一点又是共同的。

好吧，给你远方的小伙伴写一封信（很有可能这是地一封信吧？）向他介绍你所在学校。乐意吗？

活动分三个阶段：

第一阶段：

班上的每一个同学都进一步认真观察校园，可以观察校园的建筑布局、可以观察校园的某一处景物——选择您认为最有介绍价值的。观察的时候，可要注意抓住特点。——选择出校园中给你留下印象最深的景物，认真、仔细地观察清楚景物的座落、外观，了解、回忆学校师生或其他人与这处景物或建筑之间发生的事情，认真想一想：为什么会给你留下这样深的印象。

第二阶段：

对获得的材料进行整理，进一步思考：自己观察的景物的特点是什么？怎样把这处景物或建筑介绍得细致、具体、特点突出？还要对“如何介绍”——包括按照什么顺序说，所要说的话语等进行精心准备。

为了使每一个同学都介绍的好，各学习小组可以先在组内开展一次“景物或者建筑的介绍活动”，然后，相互提出意见和建议，个人作出修改。

第三阶段：“校园景物大比拼”交流竞赛。

请语文老师和班主任参加，并从各小组抽出“评委”。每个人都在班上交流自己认为学校最值得介绍的景物。由老师和评委对各位的交流进行评分。最后，依据每一位同学的得分，计算出小组的平均分，评出优胜小组。

最后，把自己的交流整理下来，在进行认真地修改，然后，给远方的手拉手好朋友写信，介绍你认为学校里最值得向他介绍的景物或建筑。

修改好以后，可以给远方的同学发email。如果还不能发电子短信，通过邮局，把信寄出去。让你远方的同学了解你所在的学校。并且，也通过对方的来信，了解对方的学校。

Serious Floods

The Yangzte River is the longest river in China. And its important and helpful to us Chinese. But these days the Yangtze River is bringing us serious floods.

Many villages were destroyed by floods. The floods made hundreds of millions of people lose their homes, relatives and friends. Many children cant go to school as usual .Now the foods have drawn the attention of the whole world. People from abroad have offered their help too. In China, millions of soldiers are busy fighting against the floods. They are working very hard. Many of them have lost their lives in their attempt to save the villagers.

Though we cant help them to fight against floods, we should help them to rebuild their homeland. We can present them our pocketmoney and clothes. I believe most of the people will return to their homeland in the near future.

He works from dawn till dusk every day and even till midnight when it is the harvest season. He seldom enjoys leisure with other farmers even if the farm work is not much. He chooses to live a busy life with reluctance to stop for a while.

Father devotes all himself to our family. As we are poor, he always tries his best to support our family and afford the tuitions for my brother and me. For the whole family, for brother and me, he never stops working laboriously in the fields throughout the year. Now he has got a wrinkled face and white hair because of excessive hard work, looking much older and weaker than any other person of his age. In spite of all this, father never complains to us. It is his full devotion that were living a better life now. It is his full devotion that both my brother and I are able to study at college.Father shows much care to us children and my mother as well. Whenever there is any delicious food on the table, he just leaves it to us while he takes the simple one himself. If my brother and I fall ill, he will not hesitate a moment to get some medicine for us or take us to see the doctor. My mother suffers a bad disease. Father looks after her very carefully. He never lets mother do any heavy work both at home and in the field. Mother appreciates him m much that she often praises him as a model husband before others.

Father is a person full of optimism. He never complains about our poor life. He is never frustrated by trouble. He often tells us that everything will be all right if we have enough confidence in life. Due to his optimism, we are all confident to face our life and work.

We all think that father is not in the least an ordinary man. He plays an extraordinary role in my family. We cant have anything without him.

Save the Wild Animals

Many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction, because the environment that they are living in has changed greatly. For example, with the developmet of cities, the using of insecticide and serious pollution, their living areas have become narrowcr and narrower. Many of the wild animals, now are confronted with food crisis. At the same time, man is killing off species just for getting their fur, skin, horns, teeth and meat.

In order to protect our resources of ecology, people should realize that the loss of any species is at least the loss of source of knowledge and a source of natural beauty. There fore, measures of the following should be taken: pollution standards are made to keepdown poisons; killing off certain rare species is prohibited; national parks should be set up as wild life, reserves.

Only if we human beings take some drastic measures can wild animals be preserved.

保护野生动物

许多野生动物正面临绝种的危险，因为它们生活的环境发生了极大的变化。譬 如，随着城市的发展，杀虫剂的使用和严重的污染，野生动物的生活区域变得越来越狭小。许多野生动物目前正面临着食物方面的危机。同时，为了获取野生动物的毛、皮、角、牙齿和肉，人类正在屠杀野生动物。

为了保护生态资源，人们应当意识到任何物种的缺失，至少意味着知识资源和自然美的缺失。因此，应采取以下措施：制订污染标准以降低有毒物质;严禁杀害某些稀有物种;应建立国家公园作为野生动植物保护区。

我们只有采取一些有力措施，才能保护野生动物。

Xiaomei and I went out this morning. We went to the city centre. We went

window shopping, and then we had lunch at the restaurant. We didnt buy anything

as we didnt have much money, but we still had a wonderful time.

今天上午我和小梅出去了。我们去了市中心。我们去逛街然后到餐馆吃饭。我们没有没东西，因为我们没有多少钱，可是我们过的很开心。

我的皮肤不白也不黑属于黄种人，圆圆的脸上镶嵌着一双黑葡萄似的眼睛，不大却十分有神。鼻子扁扁的，爸爸说我像鲁迅伯伯一样，是碰壁碰的，因为小时候摔跤总爱鼻子先落地。要说这嘴巴，不张开的话挺漂亮，就是人家长夸的樱桃小嘴，若一张开，哈哈，牙齿歪歪斜斜的，我平时都不好意思张嘴，奶奶说刚刚换牙都这样，长大就好了。

1·55米的个子，体重却有80斤，天天吵着减肥却总也管不住自己的嘴，看见好吃的就像猫儿见到鱼一样亲切的不得了。妈妈总是宠溺的对我说，吃饱了才有力气减肥。看到我这样介绍自己你是否觉得我是一个活波开朗的小女孩?

活波开朗的我还乐于助人。前几天，我到楼下超市买东西，超市的阿姨忙着照顾客人，没时间照顾刚刚学会走路的二宝，我便逗二宝玩，二宝咯咯笑着和我玩耍。阿姨忙完一拨顾客后，过来照顾二宝，还多给了我一包薯片并夸奖我比她家大宝懂事，说她家大宝只知道自己玩，从不帮她带二宝，听了阿姨的夸奖，我心里乐开了花。

我也有缺点就是贪玩，记得有一次，我把老师布置的作业带回老家，到家后由于我和妹妹玩得开心竟把作业忘了，到了睡觉时间才想起来，唉，又熬了个熊猫眼出来。

我还有一个远大的理想-考上美国哈弗大学，所以从现在开始我要刻苦学习，努力实现我的目标。

这就是活波开朗，充满自信的我，你愿意和我这个聪明可爱的小女孩做朋友吗?

大家好，你们认识我吗？我留着一个蘑菇头，水汪汪的眼睛下面长着一个可爱的鼻子。我有一张大大的嘴，圆圆的脸使我非常可爱。我的个子不高，所以我总是排在第一个。关于我的名字么，我先卖个关子，看下去再说吧！

我的爱好很多，看电视、年书、下棋……我最喜欢的是画画。有一次，我早早地做好了作业，走进我的房间，拿出画纸、画笔、彩铅等在房间里默默地画画。我细心地打着草稿，拿出黑色水彩笔慢慢地勾着线，生怕勾坏了。接着我用渐变色涂了太阳，用粉色画了一只兔子，瞧，它正在和小猫玩耍呢！妈妈看见了，说：“小雨，你画得不错，要是再画一点人物就更好了。”爷爷也连身赞道：“好，很好。你看，这只猫画得活灵活现，栩栩如生。”

忽然，我被一个推了一下，那一推把兔变成了四不像了。我猛地一回头，叫了一声：“谁呀？不知道我很忙吗？你看现在兔子都翻脸了！”原来是我画得太入迷了，连奶奶叫我都没听见。奶奶迫不得已才来推我的。当时，我看见这翻脸的兔子，老虎脾气就上来了。尽管我这样说，奶奶还是没有生气，和颜悦色地说：“小雨，先出来吃饭，吃完饭再重画一幅吧！”我静下来，仔细地想了想：这件事我也有错，虽然爱画画是好的，不过我要改掉这臭脾气。

这就是我——金雨奇。你们愿意和我做朋友吗？
