关于飞机的英文作文【精彩20篇】

Dear Miss Zhu,

亲爱的周老师，

How time flies! It has been a few years since I left high school, but I still remember you in my heart, because you’re the best teacher in my mind. It’s not only because you taught me knowledge, but also you taught me how to study. I have really benefitted a lot from you. So I would like to express my great thanks to you, and share my life in college with you.

时间飞逝!我高中毕业已经几年了，但我仍然把你记在我的心里，因为你是我心目中最好的老师。这不仅是因为你教与我知识，而且你还教我如何学习。从你身上我真的获益匪浅。所以我想向你表达我的感谢，并与你分享我的大学生活。

Now I’m studying in Hunan First Normal College, which is Chairman Mao’s former school. I major in English, because I find it so fun and interesting. As far as I’m concerned, our English Department is the best department in our college. The teachers in our department are knowledgeable, experienced, and warm-hearted. And my classmates are nice, friendly and helpful. Thus, I have a good atmosphere to study. When I have difficulties in study, I always ask my teachers for help or discuss with my classmates. Through their help, I have made great progress in my English study.

我现在在湖南第一师范学校学习，这是主席之前呆过的学校。我的专业是英语，因为我觉得它很有趣。我觉得我们英语系是我校最好的学部。我们系的老师知识渊博，经验丰富，热心肠。我的同学们也很和蔼，友好，乐于助人。因此，我拥有一个很好的学习氛围。当我在学习上遇到困难时，我总是向我的老师寻求帮助或与同学讨论。在他们的帮助下，我在英语学习上取得了很大的进步。

College life is much different from high school life. In college, we should acquire knowledge as well as improve our integrated abilities. There are a lot of English classes for us to learn, such as Basic English, Oral English, Listening, Reading, Writing, Translation, Grammar, English Literature, and so on. I enjoy these classes very much. Except English, we have many other subjects to learn. Life seems so busy here but it’s so fruitful for me.

大学生活与高中生活有很大的不同。在大学，我们要获取知识也要提高我们的综合能力。我们要上很多的英语课，比如，基础英语，英语口语，听力阅读，写作，翻译，语法，英语文学等。我非常喜欢这些课。除英语外，我们还要学习很多其他科目。在这里生活是如此的忙碌，但这对我来说是如此丰硕的收获。

After class, I usually go to the English Corner. There I can practice my oral English by talking with foreigners or chatting with my schoolmates. Now, I’m able to communicate with foreigners well. Sometimes I also take part in some social activities. For instance, last weekend I attended an interesting play. As it was my first performance, I felt a little nervous at the beginning. But when I appeared on the stage, I made every audience laugh happily. I was so proud of myself at that moment, because this was my first achievement.

下课后，我经常去英语角。在那里我可以通过与外国人或我的同学聊天来练习我的英语口语。现在我可以很好的和外国人交流了。有时候我也可以参加一些社交活动。例如，上周我参加了一个有趣的表演。因为是我第一次表演，所以一开始的时候我觉得有点紧张。但当我出现在舞台上时，我让每一个观众都开心的笑了。在那一刻，我为我自己感到骄傲，因为这是我的第一个收获。

What about your present life? I hope to hear from you soon.

你目前生活怎么样呢?希望很快能收到你的回信。

At last, I hope everything goes well with you. Please give my best regards to your family.

最后，我希望你一切顺利。请代我向你的家人问好。

Sincerely yours,

Jason

它屹立在钢琴上，霸气地停泊在上面，仿佛随时都会起飞一般……八岁那年，在商场的货架上，我看见了它，我便一下子被他给吸引住了，站在原地不动，妈妈没办法，只好将它买了下来。

一回到家，我便迫不及待地将它拆开了，连饭都顾不上吃。几大包零件分类装在袋子里，我翻开说明书，按照指示拆开了第一袋。几百个零件瞬间掉落出来，“哗啦啦”地撒了一地。我找遍了家里的“kakaguoguo”终于把零件找齐了。

先开始拼，可我要么将这个人的脑袋装到另一个人身上;要么将这个人的手和其他好几个人的手混在一起……我一会儿要拔出来，一会儿又要塞进去。两只手好几根手指被冻得通红，疼得我用冷水使劲冲。接着拼飞机的主体，看着说明书上写着“4×4”，“5×6”“12×8”的长方形和正方形，仅仅二年级的我却啥也不知，只好一个个地去数，那些复杂的零件仿佛像绊脚石一般，阻碍着我前进的道路。

正当我拼到一半时，发现有一个零件怎么也拼不上去。我仔仔细细，目不转睛地将说明书看了好几遍，发现，第一步我便拼反了，我将飞机的主体拆开，又从头开始拼。好几次零件没有找到时，我便提心吊胆到处找。找到了，便长舒一口气;假若没找到，大脑里便一片空白，两只手随意乱翻着，不知所措。

就这样，在经历了“一百一百一万”难之后，我终于---拼好了。望着几周前便开始拼的飞机，我竟一脸茫然，十根手指都很酸痛，还贴着好几个创口贴，几千个零件所构成的飞机，横空出世了。

他成了我们家的亮点，每当有客人光临时，总会对他它赞不绝口。整整四年了，曾经威武的它已破旧不堪，多处零件都快掉了。身上的贴纸也已经开始发黄，它早已被我其他的“成就”所替代。

那天晚上，风吹来，飞机横飞了出去，滑落在了地上---碎了。说明书找不到了，我也无法根据记忆远复原它，但它在我心中依然挺立。

纸飞机通常是被不认可旳，它只是被大人们看成一种男生淘气时旳玩具罢了。平时，老师连玩都不让，而在这几天，仿佛发生了一种翻天覆地旳变化……自从老师在前两天说要举行“纸飞机比赛”，班里旳男生像炸开了锅，有旳人在炫耀自己旳纸飞机有多么好；有旳高高旳举起了手，希望老师请他；有旳还说起了关于纸飞机旳故事……从那时起，学校里刮起了一股“飞机热”。

中午，班上旳同学们几乎全跑出去玩纸飞机了，我也不甘落后，立马从草稿本上撕下一张纸，跑了出去。来到操场，我大吃一惊，天空飘着许多幽灵似旳纸飞机，一不小心就会被“射”到，只见一个小朋友向飞机吹了口气，飞机飞上了蓝天，它不停地旋转着，仿佛在跳芭蕾舞，男孩见了，兴奋得跳了起来，跟着那架纸飞机跑着，恨不得自己变成那架飞机。我见了，心想：纸飞机真旳有哪么大旳魅力吗？心动不如行动，我立刻做了起来，我先找了块“风水宝地”，摊开纸，准备折纸飞机了。由于我好几年没折了，早就把折飞机旳本领忘光了。没办法，只好“偷师学艺”了，我瞄了一眼我旁边旳男生，看到他正要折，我不禁在心里欢呼了起来：“耶！”我飞快地望了一眼他手中旳飞机，又飞快地学着折，生怕漏了什么。

我学着他旳样子，反着折一个大三角形，然后再折两个小三角形。最后再折小三角形，一架纸飞机就完成了！我看着这一架我好不容易完成旳纸飞机，心里即开心又舍不得。接下来就是飞飞机了，我满怀信心，对这飞机使劲地一吹，仿佛在给它充上力量。把那飞机向天空抛去，这时，我仿佛也变成飞机，在空中翱翔……

妈妈说放暑假我们就坐飞机去台湾。我从来没有坐过飞机，我就在想：坐飞机应该很好玩吧？飞机里面是什么样的呢？用不用带氧气瓶呢？

7月8日，我们坐大巴来到龙嘉机场。检票进去的时候，我们通过一条长长的走廊步入机仓，我感觉走廊里有“嗡嗡”的声音，难道这是耳鸣了吗？妈妈说：“这应该是飞机发动机的声音。”

进入机仓是一条走廊，左右两边都有座位，我的位置是靠窗的。我坐在机翼的位置，我看到机翼上有几个黄色的勾子，我想应该吊飞机的吧？妈妈也不知道，只说：“不可能”。

飞机起飞前我阅读了安全须知。我了解到飞机出现故障时得选择无烟、无火、无障碍时才能跳伞；机翼的两侧各有两个安全窗，使用时勾动拉杆，把飞机的窗户放在旁边的坐椅上，然后跳伞；跳伞时禁止穿高根鞋，禁止拎手提箱；逃生氧气面罩是等飞机没有氧气的时候，将上面的盒子打开，带上安全面罩；提示：要给别人带面罩前自己先带上；飞机降落的时候，飞机下面30米禁止站人，飞机起时，飞下面20米禁止站人；准备起飞时，收起小桌板，系上安全带。了解了这些知识，我好激动啊！安全第一！

飞机起飞拔高的时候，我感觉好爽啊！公路城市就在我的脚下。我像乘着火箭喷射器一样，一下子就窜天上了。飞机一路都很稳。我们飞过了海洋，只偶尔有一点点气流，我和同伴一路欢声笑语，很兴奋，三个多小时的航行，感觉一转眼就到了。飞机快降落的时候，已经晚上了，我看到地面的台湾，灯火通明，好漂亮。

飞机安全抵达桃园机场。我们安检完后，接完行李，就去酒店了。第一次坐飞机，感觉新奇而兴奋。接下来我的台湾之旅开始了……

从小我就喜爱飞机，我的妈妈心灵手巧，她能教我折各式各样的纸飞机。

今天作文课，亲爱的覃老师叫我们折纸飞机。在这一瞬间，大家都兴奋起来，有的欢呼呐喊，有的跳了起来，还有的露出了开心的笑脸。当然，我也不例外，我和大家一样也很开心。

因为我喜欢游泳，更喜爱大海，所以我选了一张蓝色的纸。开始折飞机了！我先将彩纸的角对折，接着再次对折，最后整理出机翼。哈哈，我的飞机诞生啦！我给我的飞机取了一个好听的名字叫彩虹号，因为彩虹很漂亮，我更希望它能飞的又高又远。

终于等到比赛的时候了，同学们像刚饱饭的老虎一样冲了出去。大家做好了准备，覃老师一声令下，一架架彩色的飞机飞了出去。有的飞机刚被扔出去就落在了地上，有的飞机转了个圈竟然往回飞了，可覃老师的飞机却稳稳地向前方飞去。我很不服气！不过，我的飞机也很厉害，只是在决赛中输了。

原来流线型的飞机和尖头的飞机飞得最远，因为空气的阻力越小，飞得越远。

今天的比赛我虽然没有获胜，但是我还是非常开心，因为毕竟友谊第一，比赛第二。

Is it good for students to do some housework？ Some people think students need not do any housework。 They think the only thing students need do is to study well。 I don’t think so。 It is good for students to do some housework for three reasons。 Firstly， to do some housework can make you independent。 You can’t depend on others all your life。So you should learn to do some housework now。 Secondly， to do some housework can keep you healthy and strong ， some hard housework can be regarded as a kind of physical exercise。 Finally， to do some housework can share your parents’ work 。They must be happy if you say” Have a rest ， and I will do the housework”So I think it is good for students to do some housework。

Nowadays, some students don’t help their parents do housework at home.

Some parents love their children too much and don’t let them work at home. On one hand, they think that their children are too busy with their studies and expect them to do well in their lessons only. On the other hand, they think their children don’t know how to do the housework.

However, I think students should help their parents do housework at home. First, that can develop their love for work. Next, that can help them understand their parents better. Last and the most important, that can help them cultivate their ability to live.

In the coming days, we will vit relatives to pay New Years call, give them. In a word, it  the family reunion and we all the time to enjoy it.

Th  our happy Spring Festival, Do you feel happy?

[给朋友的一封信英文作文

I’m writing to ask you to excuse me for not being able to keep our

appointment. I do know that this is very impolite and must have caused you much

trouble.

I do reckon that at present any explanation is pale and futile. However I

do not want you to misunderstand me. On my way to your office, an old lady

suddenly fainted due to heart attack on the bus. I stopped a taxi and sent her

into a nearby hospital. I stayed there until her came, which spoiled our

appointment.

I am aware that our appointment is of importance. I do hope that you would

be kind enough to spare your valuable to meet me.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

在此期间，我可谓是“腰酸背痛腿抽筋”呀，可是我的表兄——飞机，他可悠闲了，我就纳闷儿了，我忙得气都喘不过来，而飞机兄那儿还有很大的空间、许多的空位呢!我的同行们都说我很有政治头脑，同样的，这件事也引起了我的深思……

飞机票的价格相对于火车票来说肯定要贵一些，恰恰回家的人都是在外打工的农民工，这样就有了经济上的差异，如果给予农民工一些优惠的话，肯定能缓解一下春运的问题，但是对于一些以原价购票的人是不是有些不公平呢?唉，难啊。万物皆是有舍才有得，孰轻孰重难于取舍。

现在我们的飞机有客机、战斗机、直升机、还有许多飞机……可未来的飞机又是什么样的呢？相信你一定可想知道吧！哈哈！那就让我来告诉你把！

未来的飞机前面有像火箭一样的头，身体就像一只强大的雄鹰，这架飞机的功能非常的多，我先简单的给你说吧！

这架飞机的功能有100吨的大炮，这大炮可以跟踪别人的飞机，别人飞机飞到哪它都会跟着的，直到爆炸为止，另一种功能是，它可以保护你，如果降落伞的功能，不能用了你可以启动保护系统有很大作用，这架飞机的保护系统启动，大炮打到哪都伤不到你的飞机的任何部位都不会有问题，原子弹炸这架，飞机也是没有任何的伤害，这架飞机还有这种系统比如你的飞机雷达坏了，没法开了，你可以启动这个系统，你按下开关备用雷达功能比雷达的功能还要大，这个雷达不受电话的影响，你可以在飞机上打电话和玩游戏。

这飞机还有种功能就是迷路了，找不到回家的路的时候，你可以启动一个系统，这个系统的功能是可以导航的，如果你在许多树和水的地方你迷路了，你按一下前面的会出现导航它会给你说怎样飞才会安全飞回家园，也可以让飞机自己飞回家园你只要叫一声它5秒就过来了。

还有一种功能是不用在飞机上开飞机，只要有遥控器你就可以在地上让飞机在天上飞，遥控器上有搜索飞机在哪里你可以看着飞机飞来飞去的在空中行驶。

未来的飞机是不是非常有趣吧！你可以亲自去未来看一看。

[未来的飞机作文

今天，第二节课下，我们到了操场跳完绳之后，就开始科普比赛了，你看，这一架架的纸飞机在天空中自由的飞翔，仿佛是一只只粉红色的蝴蝶——这正是我们的参赛选手正在调整着自己的纸飞机，我想他们的心中一定很紧张，当然他们在比赛开始的时候是一定要冷静下来，不然就肯定会输的因为做什么事情都要冷静。

“舒泽英！”张老师叫了一声，我们都十分紧张，等待着舒泽英，舒泽英上场了！我们都为舒泽英捏一把汗，因为602班的纸飞机在空中停留的时间最长，是七秒几；舒泽英已经把飞机用力地扔向了天空，现在飞机正在平稳地飞着，几乎没有一丝快要坠落的迹象，吹来了一股风，就在这一刻舒泽英的飞机往下坠了一点，可是马上又起死回生飞了上去，我真不知道老天爷为什么要这样折磨我们那！

害得我们的心一上一下的，往上跳的时候，我的小心脏几乎快要吐了出来，到了最后舒泽英的飞机平稳地降落了下来。

到了第二次飞的时候，纸飞机一飞冲天，我惊叫一声：“哇！飞得好高啊！”就在这架飞机飞到最高点的时候，我小小的心脏快要蹦到喉尖了，这时我的眼睛一直注视着在那天空中飞翔如同小鸟的纸飞机。正在这个时候，舒泽英的这架纸飞机，像被导弹击中一样——坠落了下来，哎！真可惜呀！

暑假里，爸爸妈妈决定带我去北京游玩。我十分欣喜，心里乐开了花。可是回家的日子到了，我们决定乘飞机回去。飞机场建在大海边，周围的海水满盈盈的。小草扭动着他那柔绿的身躯，在微风中翩翩起舞，一眼望去，就像迎宾的小朋友。夕阳西下，落日熔金，此时的北京犹如披着金色衣服的美女，令人无限留恋。我依依不舍地与她挥手告别。忽然，飞机腾空而起。我看着朵朵白云，不知不觉中进入了遐想。我变成了一只小鸟，再也不要受到人们的束缚，在天空中自由自在的飞翔。我看到了祖国的大好河山，嘴角漾起了一丝丝微笑。突然，飞机不由自主的剧烈抖动了一下，机舱里的人都尖叫起来，我的心就像紧绷的弦一样，生害怕出了点儿什么事情。不一会儿，空姐圆润的声音响了，她说我们的飞机碰到云层了，请我们大家坐好，并系好安全带。过了十来分钟，终于到了成都，我眼前仿佛一片光明，仿佛经历了一次可怕的战争。让我变得更加坚强、勇敢。难忘的第一次坐飞机，让我心惊胆战，又让我学会了坚强和勇敢。第一次永远都让我刻骨铭心。

今天是复习阶段的最后一天，我们都很开心。中午，我们正在玩纸飞机的时候，突然老师叫大家进教室。进教室以后，我也不知道怎么回事，老师又说：“把所有的纸飞机都扔到纸篓里去！”说这句话的时候，周老师非常的严厉，所以我们只好把手里的纸飞机都给扔了。

放学了，我回到爸爸办公室，又折了三架纸飞机，分别叫“火箭号”、“客车号”和“蝙蝠号”。“火箭号”个头最小，长得细细的，翅膀也不大，只有一厘米多，但是它飞行的速度最快，总是第一名。“客车号”的特点是个头大，年纪最小，因为它是最后一个折出来的，它飞的时候老是会滚，还会转圈，落地的时候老是会摩擦。该介绍一下“蝙蝠号”了，它浑身都是缺点，不像其它两只“飞机”飞得远，老是只飞一点点就掉下来了，因为它的翅膀改造得不好，可能太宽了。

我一会儿发射火箭号，一会儿发射客车号，一会儿发射蝙蝠号，玩得很开心。突然，“火箭号”飞向爸爸，顺着爸爸的后脑勺飞过去了。爸爸对我说：“玩的时候要注意安全，别射到人。”

我就连忙把“火箭号”的头改造成方的，后来玩的时候就小心了！

在生活中经常有很多心情无以言说，用英文表达就更难了！别急！这里选取的例句，可都是摘自外媒新闻的原句，都是些最最常用地道的用法哦！以下是小编带来形容情绪的英文词语的相关内容，希望对你有帮助。

13.Stronger Than You Know

Getting Ourselves Worked Up

Our capacity to cope successfully with lifes challenges far outstrips our capacity to feel nervousness. Yet in the weeks, days, and hours leading up to an event that we believe will test our limits, we can become nervous. While we may have previously regarded ourselves as equal to the trials that lie ahead, we reach a point at which they near and our anxiety begins to mount. We then become increasingly worked up, until the moment of truth arrives and we discover that our worry was all for nothing. We are almost always stronger and more capable than we believe ourselves to be. But anxiety is not rational in nature, which means that in most cases we cannot work through it using logic as our only tool. Reason can help us recognize the relative futility of unwarranted worry but, more often than not, we will find more comfort in patterns of thought and activity that redirect our attention to practical or engaging matters.

Most of us find it remarkably difficult to focus on two distinct thoughts or emotions at once, and we can use this natural human limitation to our advantage when trying to stay centered in the period leading up to a potentially tricky experience. When we concentrate on something unrelated to our worryuch as deep breathing, visualizations of success, pleasurable pursuits, or exercisenxiety dissipates naturally. Meditation is also a useful coping mechanism as it provides us with a means to ground ourselves in the moment. Our guides can aid us by providing us with a focal point wholly outside of our own sphere.
