我的幸福生活英语作文2篇 作文高中（汇编20篇）

我最喜欢听太奶奶讲故事了，我的太奶奶快一百岁了，她讲的故事都是她亲身经历的事，我永远都是百听不厌。

太奶奶说“很小的时候就嫁给我太爷爷了，她年轻的时候特别苦。每天天没亮大家就起床干活，种田，挖水渠，修水库，他们一修就是好几年，一锹锹挖，一担担挑，现在中国闻名的漳河水库就有太奶奶太爷爷的足迹；在没有机器没有化肥的时代，收割播种耕田一切都是靠人靠劳力，收起来的粮食都上交到集体，大家伙吃不饱穿不暖，就从上山挖来野菜和着几颗大米一起蒸煮着吃；衣服也是粗布衣服缝缝补补穿好多年，家里孩子多的就大的穿了小的穿，下雨下雪都打赤脚跑，因为怕把鞋子穿坏了；家境稍稍好点的就睡床，家境不好的就直接睡在稻草堆。后来农民翻身当主人，毛主席实行土改，分田到户让每个农民有自己的田地，种的粮食归自己所得，大家就再也不用吃不饱，穿不暖了……“

听了这些故事，我百感交集，我们现在的生活多么幸福呀，吃的喝的玩的应有尽有，而自己却每天还在挑食，衣服不合心意的不穿，不高兴还跟家人发脾气，每天想着买些乱七八糟的玩具，乱花父母辛辛苦苦挣的钱还不知道节约。

所以从今以后我要珍惜现在的幸福生活，节约粮食，好好学习，爱护同学，孝敬父母。让自己长大成为社会的栋梁之材！

有一个地方总能给予我们温暖，那就是我们的家。我的家，就在美丽的云霄。

我有一个温暖的家，里面的成员有我的爸爸、妈妈，还有我，由我们三个人组成一个家，一个温馨的家，一个美满、幸福的独生子女家庭。

云霄，一个美丽、和谐的地方，我们的村庄也是一个幽美宜居之地。我们一家三口住在一幢二层半的楼房里，一层半是今年刚刚建造上去的，装修得蛮漂亮。楼房前面有一个不小的庭院，种满了花草，我周末常常在院子里的石桌上读书写字。院子里有一棵玉兰树，每到开花的季节，我们的房间里都充满着浓郁的玉兰花香，让人不禁陶醉其间。

自从进入初中，我觉得我懂事多了，不再像小学那时候，常闹些小情绪。在家里经常帮妈妈做做家务，烧饭洗衣拖地板，听爸妈的话，可是一个乖乖女哦。堂姐到漳州工作，见面也少了，平时就用手机、QQ相互联系。以前我们两姐妹常常玩闹争执，现在不会那么幼稚了，见面的机会也少，会互相让着对方，堂姐也经常从漳州网购一些东西寄给我。

我有一个爱我的妈妈，她长得不高，有点胖。不过，她为了这个家所付出的汗水并不比爸爸少。她每天都是早出晚归，有时会早点回来，但这样的情况不多。

记得有一次，我因为急匆匆来学校而忘记了拿伞，隔天雨下得很大，我没有雨伞，在学校寄宿不是很方便。这时，一通电话打来了，是妈妈。她跟我说，她还在忙着，叫人帮我把雨伞拿来了。那一刻，我的心有种说不出的感觉，我想，这应该就是母爱了吧。

我还有一个疼我的爸爸，他很高，天塌下来有他顶着。爸爸很疼爱我，把我当做家里的小公主，捧在手里怕摔着，含在嘴里怕化了。他就是这样的疼我，所以我老是喜欢“老爸、老爸”的叫着。

因为学校宿舍还没有安装热水器，我比较怕冷，所以让我爸买一个热水瓶给我。我以为爸爸会隔天再送来给我，可是我那天下午打电话给他，晚上爸爸就把热水瓶买来给我了。有这样一个疼你的爸爸，你说能不幸福吗？

我现在还在读书，还是个拖油瓶。但我非常爱我的爸妈，周末回家，我总会给爸妈讲些有趣的事和笑话，让他们暂时忘却工作的辛苦，能更好地休息放松一下。等我长大后，我会用心照顾我的爸爸妈妈，回报每个爱我的人，因为有他们的关爱、支持，我的生活充满了阳光，充满了幸福。

我爱你，我的家。这是一个只有我们三人独享的家！

我爱你们，我的家人，亲爱的爸爸妈妈，让我们把每一天都过得充实、快乐、幸福。

我爱你，云霄，美丽和谐的家乡。

March 12th is Tree Planting Day. This year our school bought enough  the trees before that day . On that day , we didnt had classes . The teachers and our classmates planted trees around our the school.

We began to planted trees as soon as we got to school . some students dug the holes . Some students put the trees into the holes.

Some students put the earth back to the holes. Then we pushed the earth hard with our feet . At last we watered the trees as much as possible.

From then on we looked after the trees carefully and the trees grew very well . It made our shcool more beautiful .And How happy we are !

“幸福在哪里？”李天华的歌声常常引起人们的思考，也常常引起许多人对幸福的苦苦探寻。可我觉得大可不必如此！因为幸福就在你的身边呀！

今儿考试，我一直都很紧张，有一部分是因为我老爸，生怕考不好挨批评。但我跟爸爸说了之后，爸爸的反应让我幸福感满满的！因为他说：考试的机会有的是，人生的考试多着呢！你想考好，总有机会能考好的！

我是一个十足十的EXO行星饭。今天早上，上学路上，老爸问了我三个问题：“如果EXO的演唱会门票需要五千元那你怎么办？”我回答：“那么我就不去了”。追问：“为什么？”我回答：“能换多少明信片啊！”“如果EXO明信片需要五千元那你怎么办？”我回答：“我就不买了。”问：“为什么？”我回答：“能换多少专辑啊！”“如果EXO专辑需要五千元那你怎么办？”我回答：“那我不要了”。追问：“为什么？”我回答：“能换多少馒头啊！”老爸欣慰地说：“这才是我要的答案。”老爸的意思在于让我理解：幸福就是一种简单而普通的满足感！

其实，幸福就是一种知足！有些人却因为不知道这一点而做了蠢事！

海子你们都熟悉吗？一位曾经令人瞩目的天才诗人，却在他二十五岁生日的那个早晨，卧轨自杀，结束了自己年轻的生命。而此时他可知道，自己的母亲早早的熬好了一锅红米粥，正以这种方式为在北京的儿子默默祝福。海子，我倒是想问了，你有那么好的母亲，那么幸福的家，为什么还要自杀呢？假如你知道为了使你苍白的脸上多一丝丝红润，母亲在家里养了一群小鸡，已为你装下了五十个鸡蛋时，你还会想到自杀吗？既然有自杀的勇气，还有什么不敢面对或不能面对的呢！海子，你是深刻的诗人，难道还没有明白幸福的真谛？

到了这份儿上，你懂得“幸福”是什么了吗？幸福就是你饥饿时能够吃得到的馒头；幸福就是考试紧张时父母的一句安慰；幸福就是遇到困难时朋友的一句鼓励话语；幸福就是在你冷的时候送你的一碗热粥；幸福就是在你摔倒时扶你起来的那一双手。

知足才能常乐，活着才能幸福，可要好好记住：幸福就在你身边！

站在清澈的快速“奔跑”的小溪跟前，我脑中便闪现出孔子的教诲：“逝者如斯夫，不舍昼夜。”时间好比流水，一去不复反。我回忆起刚踏入中学的那一幕，不觉呀然一惊，原来时间真象古人，今人说的那样！

忆起第二次月考时的情景，我的心颤动着。

“你第一次的考试，科学的成绩很不理想，希望在第二次月考时给挽救回来！”班主任带点命令的口气对我说。我勉强得点点头，心里却这么想：诶——科学是我的克星，我是注定敌不过，胜不了它的！

回到家，我拿起科学书，正如“小和尚念经——有口无心”。我放下书本埋怨起来：“理科不行就文科嘛！班主任真是的，科学考不好压根没什么大事的！”于是，我烦闷的心结就被这几句不争气的话给硬生生地剪开了。我打开电脑，在虚拟的游戏中度过了本该紧张的一夜。

第二天，我犹如身经百战又屡战屡胜的大将军，昂着头，挺着胸，迈进了第一“战场”。

“开战”了，我手握利剑，奋勇杀敌，却无心照料我受了伤的“身”和我的战友“剑”。

战了三百回合的我最终败在一名叫“科学”的敌将手里。

等我醒来已是在家中。

考试后的第一天，我仍然像往常一般进入校园，班主任再一次把我叫如办公室。她生气地说：“你怎么搞的！最拿手的语文只有93分！还有科学，英语，数学都在退步！好好反省反省！”

我低头赤耳地走出办公室，心想：我一定要赶上去！可一回家，这个决心已到了九霄云外了，再也回不来了！

快第三次月考了，我便有苦恼起来：“怎么办啊！考不好的话又要挨批了！”果然不出我的所料，老师又把我叫到办公室做思想工作。

如今反悔还为时不晚。我再也不想以前那样了，说了就忘，忘了又说。

初中的苦恼我已尝够，我不想再尝了。从现在起朝着一个目标坚持不懈地去追求，去努力！相信我能行，我能办得到，不会再遗忘了老师和父母以及好朋友的心愿、祝福。

With the development of science and technology, our lives have changed a

lot in the past century. Many things that wouldn’t happen before have come into

reality now. Therefore, our lives will change as well in the future. Our pace of

live will greatly speed up, because we will help many machines to finish our

work. Many things can be done autonomously. Therefore, people will have more

time for fun. People can travel the outer space freely. Space shuttle can bring

people to planets far from the earth. Human beings may live in other planets.

Besides, our environment will be much better than now, because some effective

measures are taken to protect the environment. Earth is still a beautiful home

for human.

世间留传着一句不朽的名言──生活中处处都是美，只是缺少发现。的确，当心灵被琐事羁绊时，我们往往忽略了周围的幸福和感动。

有一个周末，我因着小感冒到医院看病。一座白色巨塔的大厅里，遍是呻吟的受苦者和急切排队挂号的病患家属。吵杂而弥漫药物的气息使我猛烈地快要作呕，我急忙转弯闯进厕所。一瞬间，一台轮椅反方向被推了出来，我赶紧剎了脚步倒退两步。椅座上是一位年迈的妇人，白了金发，浑身被管子注入。我连声道歉，就怕刚才的莽撞使她受了惊吓。出乎意料的，妇人用几乎无法伸张的脸回我一个微笑，并以听不见的气音用唇语表示“谢谢”。剎时，温暖的泉源涌入我的心房，医院之于我，不再是冷冰冰的房子。

十月的清晨，我赴了秋蝉的盛邀，到邻近的公园聆听它们在枝头上高歌的狂想曲。秋风飒飒，我面对马路坐下，看飘零的树叶片片从眼前飞过，听蝉只激昂的鸣叫轰然而下，又嘎然而止。母亲曾告诉我，蝉是蛰伏于土里十几年的昆虫，当它们离开土壤，攀上枝头，就在夏、秋两季间结束生命。这么说，现在令人震慑的音响，是它们奏出的最后乐章了吧！蝉懂得生命的可贵，懂得在短暂留下灿烂，而身为人类的我们，岂可随意遇挫就放弃自己？当若无其事的骑士乘着摩托车飞掠，我却已了然蝉只传授的生命哲理。

海伦．凯勒的一场重病使她失去听觉、视觉，但凭着一颗纯然洁净的心灵，她发现生命的诸多美妙与幸福，活出精采亮丽的一生。

而我们，何不也怀着无所羁绊的心胸，用心去体察生命？

The Huang Mountain is a place of interest. here are lots of tourists seeing sights every day. Years ago, some of them paid no attention to environment protection. They threw about waste paper, plastic bags and tins. Besides, they killed animals, caught birds, destroyed trees and flowers. Worse still,

they often made a fire to cook in the forest. That was dangerous. Changes have taken place now. When tourists leave, they take away rubbish with them. They no longer hunt animals. Plants are also protected. All the tourists carry their lunch in order not to start forest fire. We must sing high praise of the good deeds.

The spring festival is Chinese most traditional festival every 365 days.

Each Chinese pay much attention on it. Every year about 15 days before spring

festival， the migrate works and white-collars are beginning crowded

home-returning.

But， in recent years， with the development of the world， many different

attitudes between the young and the old towards the spring festival come forth.

The old are still pay more attention to the spring festival， but the young

gradually change the mode to spend their spring festival holiday， such as travel

overseas.

When I am a childhood， I celebrated the spring festival with my family

about a month in my winter vacation in traditional way， such as helping cleaning

our houses， putting red couplets on gates， setting off firecrackers， and wear

new clothes. Now， I spend only 4 or 5 days at home with my parents in

celebrating the spring festival， then I will hurry back to work. Maybe in the

near future， I will have no time celebrating spring festival hometown， and my

parents have to come to stay with us in the city.

Whether or no， I like the spring festival. It is one of the most important

part of our Chinese culture. However busy I am， I will try my best to

celebrating it with the traditional way to protect those our ancestor has leave

behind.

翻书的时候，一片银杏叶悄然飘落，我弯腰，捡起。方才想起这是小学毕业时同桌送给我的。背面写着“珍重，朋友!”

刹那间，一股暖流涌进我的心房，充斥着我内心小小的空间。不知道从何时起，“感动已被我有所遗忘。不知是因为它太平凡了，而不足以使我的内心荡漾起喜悦的波澜?还是我的内心早已挤满，已没有了感动的空间?

不!生活中从不缺少美，更不缺少感动，生活中的感动随处可见。当你失意时，朋友的一两句安慰的话语，当你读书时，父母端来的一杯浓茶，当你在雨中冒风驰行时，一把足以容纳你的雨伞。这些都是感动，也正是我们所需要的感动。

记得上次期中考试，我退步很大。只考了112名，这无疑对我来说是一个巨大的打击。在颓废中的我独自一人趴在桌上，两眼发呆地盯着黑板。此刻，我的内心已开始流泪，我埋怨自己，更埋怨命运为何对我如此不公?好友似乎看出了我的心事，向我桌旁走来，微笑地对我说道：“怎么?没有考好?没有关系，人生不免会有几次大起大落，只要你心中有一个坚定的信念，并扬起风帆，勇往直前，一定可以再创辉煌的佳绩，失败是成功之母，相信你已经离成功不远了。”

好友的话点亮了我心中前进的火焰，从此，一蹶不振的我开始奋起直追，勇往直前。我知道是感动让我有了如此强大的动力，坚信自己的理想终会实现。

生活中需要感动，更需要发现感动的眼睛，正如美是一样的。有时候，我们往往把他们遗忘，因为忙碌的生活充斥着你的全部，但当我们静下心来，你会发现，生活处处都充满了感动的影子。

留心生活中的感动，并让他留在你的心底。当失意时，拿出来晒一晒!这时，你会发现，阳光依旧灿烂，所有的日子依旧美好!

俗话说：爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏。千门万户瞳瞳日，总把新桃换旧符。

一年只有一次，最热闹的也就是那个晚上，我盼望着那个晚上的到来，迎之后那个迷人的夜晚。

直到那个晚上的到来，给我带来了许多的快乐和乐趣。为了今年的“年夜大餐”，母亲和奶奶在除夕的前两天就开始“动工”了。因为母亲眼中的年夜饭是团圆饭，预示着新一年的开始，一切都要十全十美，不能有半点马虎。每到这时候，我便会言语谨慎，生怕不经意间说出什么不中听的或是不吉利的话，招来母亲的责骂。对我家而言，这一年一度的年夜饭已经不只是一顿简单的晚餐，更是全家都要参与的仪式。所以在物质生活极大丰富的这天，我们仍然保留了在家中吃年夜饭的习惯。

我家的年夜饭讲究分工合作，各司其责。母亲是总设计师，负责人员调度。父亲帮母亲打小工，负责买配菜，买调料，拿油盐酱醋、锅碗瓢盆；奶奶是总设计师的得力助手；爷爷则是烹饪几个他的拿手菜；我嘛，就负责“偷吃”，在有菜做好了后，我总以尝尝菜的咸淡，来偷吃做好的菜。

晚上七点整，我们的午夜大餐正式开始，一盘盘色香味俱全、香喷喷的饭菜端上桌来，我看得眼花缭乱。开饭喽！我狼吞虎咽的把这美味佳肴往嘴里塞。妈妈把果汁和红酒拿出来，倒在高脚杯里。我端起酒杯祝愿爸爸和妈妈———身体健康，笑口常开，工作顺利；祝愿爷爷奶奶——福如东海，寿比南山。

我家不仅仅年夜大餐丰盛，家庭也那么幸，我既为有一个会做美食的的妈妈感到骄傲，也为有一个美满的家庭。

Nowadays, many families have a dog or a cat as a pet. Some people think

that pets are good and helpful companies. Some of them even go so far as saying

that animals are as good as humans, and their rights should be respected .Senior

citizens are especially fond of keeping pet because they are always feeling

lonely at home and they see the cats or dogs as their partner.

But some other people do not like pets. They say that animals are noisy,

dirty and dangerous. They think laws should be made to forbid people from

keeping pets in cities and towns.

In my opinion, pets are loyal friends that will never betray us. Staying

with pets, we shall enjoy happiness and feel relaxed. Most important of all,

keeping pets helps people to reduce loneliness and forget their unpleasant

things for the time being.

明媚的阳光普照大地，伴随着科技发展给人们生活带来了日新月异的变化。暑假里，我们不是在舒适的沙发上躺着看电视，就是在空调房里盖着被子呼呼大睡，更是“得寸进尺”地说：“衣服太老土，不好看；鞋子没花纹，不喜欢；裤子是牛仔裤，真讨厌……”

如今，妈妈们为了让我们这些娇生惯养的“大小姐”们去看看自己生活的多么幸福，便带领我们去大邵公益贫困学子家中去进行走访。

经过“跋山涉水”，我们来到了邓波家中，看到那破旧的楼房，家中简陋的家具，兄妹俩空洞的眼神……顿时，我们心中泛起了涟漪。

刚进屋时，奶奶热情地欢迎着我们，还亲切的抚摸着我们的头，眼神温柔而友好。走进屋里，我们看到了桌上摆放着一碗酸豆角，听奶奶说这便是暑假一个月以来家里的主菜。想想我们天天在家大鱼大肉，还嫌妈妈做的菜不好，嚷着要去买面包，吃肯德基，不免有些羞愧。

奶奶看了看躺在摇椅上的爷爷，又看了看兄妹俩微微低垂下来的头，强忍着泪水对我们说：“我的儿啊！在六年前就走了，扔下这一双儿女，我们怎么过啊？”看着奶奶老泪纵横，我们心中很不是滋味儿，真想去安慰一下奶奶，让她不要伤心难过了。奶奶话音未落，爷爷也忍不住心中的悲痛：“孩子爸爸刚死的时候，两兄妹还不懂事，过年的时候问我们别人的爸妈都回来过年，我们的爸爸怎么不回家啊？我们只能骗他们说爸爸到很远的地方去了，去给你们买好吃的去了。于是这两个孩子，没事就往马路边上看，结果被车子撞了，好心的邻里就出钱给我们家修了铁门。后来这两个孩子长大了，知道爸爸死了，妈妈也不要他们了。在学校里，同学们也看不起他俩，都说他们是捡来的。”说到这里，奶奶再也忍不住了，泪水哗哗地流了出来。我们听着，眼睛也湿润起来了，不仅仅是为这两兄妹的悲惨不幸而同情，也是为了爷爷奶奶从小拉扯他们长大的不容易而赞叹！

这些年来，邓波的白细胞减少，正常人是4至10，而他最多只有2、8，稍不注意就高烧不退，急得爷爷奶奶四处求医，而妹妹的腿上也长了一个血管瘤，因为没有钱所以只能拖延着。年事以高的爷爷在2012年外出干活把腿摔断后，便一直不能恢复，只能拄拐走路，偏偏今年4月又摔了一跤，把后背的龙骨也给摔断了，只能靠草药来治疗病痛，行动更加艰难了。今后的生活重担全部都落在了奶奶身上，这让年过六旬的奶奶如何支撑下去？

邓波兄妹不爱说话，我们大邵公益的志愿者们给他们带来了一本科技书，两兄妹便围在一起看起书来。哥哥说更爱看寓言故事书，妹妹爱画画，喜欢看童话故事书，我们便心里想：下次我们再来看他们，一定带他们喜欢的书。

这次的走访让我们体会到了生活的艰辛，我们的生活是多么的幸福，除了珍惜生活，我们还应该多多关怀贫因学子，相信只要人人都献出一点爱，这个世界将会更加美好！

结束了快乐且漫长的初中生活，经过一个暑假的休息与调整。对即将开始的高中生活充满了期待。

高中开始报名了，我自己来到这陌生的学校，我的家长没陪我一起来，这我已经习以为常了，因为我自进入初中以来每次报名都是我一个人去的。

我来到学校门口碰见了许多原来初中的同学，因为学校是八点半才开门。于是我就和几个同学闲聊起来。没过一会儿学校门开了，于是我们大家进去报名了。由于并不了解这个学校。所以我找了半天也没有找到教室，后来看见了一位老师，我就问了她一下。原来我们高一在六楼，于是我就一百米冲刺的速度冲上了六楼。教室外面贴着每个班学生的名单。于是我开始慢慢的寻找我的名字，我找了一个又一个的教室，都没有看见我的名字。当找到二班的时候我看见了我的名字，说起来和二班还挺有缘的，在初中的时候我也是在二班。

我所在的班级没有一个是原来的同学。我走进教室把名报了，由于不是很熟悉。我报了名就直接回家了。

我们军训了一个星期就开学了，开学的两天来都没有上课，在给我们讲学校的规章制度以及班规等等。由于太过枯燥乏味了，我便和同桌聊天。老师点了我们两次，由于不想给老师留下太坏的印象，所以我们也就没有再说了。

可能由于是下午，大家听着听着头就往下垂了，睡着了。也许大家在初中时就养成了“互帮互助”吧。当老师走下来的时候便急忙叫醒了他，我也急忙的叫醒了我的同桌。不过还好是有惊无险呀。

说到军训可能是老天爷同情我们这些90后吧。我们训练的时候没怎么出太阳。有时候还下雨，天气很凉爽。

转眼间我们就要半期考试了。听说半期后就要分科了。

虽然大家要分开了不在同一个班了，但我相信距离隔不断我们的友情，高中生活，以后会更加精彩，很期待接下来三年的生活。

It is an oft repeated axiom that money cannot buy happiness. While this is certainly true, poverty will not buy Happiness either. Some people become very wealthy, yet struggle to enjoy their lives. On the other hand, others manage to go through life with very few money problems simply because they are able to make the most of what they have.Ideally you should try to combine both prosperity and Happiness. To do this I recommend the following steps:

1. Learn to Value Simplicity The aim of life should not be to accumulate as many possessions and as much wealth as possible. We should learn to be content with what we have and appreciate the benefits of simplicity. For example, if we clear out our unnecessary clutter we will achieve a greater feeling of space and freedom.

If you feel happiness is directly related to material possessions, you are making a mistake. Happiness can be gained just through being content with a small amount of possessions. Our inner wealth is not just about what we have, but what we are content to live without.

2. Do Not Be Attached to Your Money Does it pain you to spend your own money - even if it is for something useful? Even someone like Bill Gates can feel uncomfortable spending his billions; it is said he used to always travel economy class because he didn’t see the need to spend more money on first class. The problem with this, however, is that if we are always reluctant to spend money we miss the whole point of earning it.

A good attitude is to see money as a circular flow - that is, spending money enables more to come into our lives. It is not like a big dam where we just try to hold onto it all. We need to let the money out by spending on useful and necessary things. It is no good having a stockpile of water unless we use it to generate power; similarly it is no use accumulating large savings if we we feel miserable spending it.

3. Minimize Money Worries We will be happiest if we can make money a small part of our lives, and think about money issues as little as possible. To be able to do this we need to avoid creating situations of debt as getting out of debt can be difficult and stressful. Learn to live within your means by avoiding impulsive overspending. If you do need to go into debt, plan ahead and find a loan which is clear and manageable to repay.

Try to avoid complicated and risky investment plans; these give you the potential to gain more, but you will also have the potential to lose a lot more. Good financial planning should be simple and well balanced; this means your nerves will not be affected by worrying about the outcome of your investment. It is better to invest and save in something secure so you can forget about it and not worry endlessly.

4. Avoid Jealousy No matter how much money you have, do you still envy people who have more? A recent survey asked people whether they would prefer to have a salary above the national average. Alternatively, they could choose to have a higher salary, but this higher salary would be lower than the average. A surprising amount of people chose to have a lower salary as long as it meant they were relatively better off than the rest of the population.

To me this makes no sense. If other people become wealthier than you, that is no reason to be unhappy. If other people are prosperous that is good; don’t feel miserable just because you cannot keep up with the Joneses.

5. Don’t Live to Work. Do you find yourself working overtime in the evenings and at the weekend? If you spend all your time working, you will have no opportunity to spend your earnings. Don’t feel guilty for turning extra work down; it is important to give leisure time as high a priority as work. It is good if we can gain satisfaction from work, but if we only spend time working then our life lacks a proper balance.

6. Understand Why Are Some People Always Poor I’m sure most people will have good friends who always seems to have money concerns. No matter what happens they always seem to be short of money and they frequently share tales of financial woe. The lack of money makes them unhappy, but they don’t know how to change the situation. Giving them money doesn’t solve the problem because they continue to make bad financial decisions.

Part of the problem lies in their mindset. It is easy to become accustomed to being poor and then half expecting the poverty to continue. With this mindset, it becomes difficult to attract money into our lives and easy to develop feelings of self pity and regret. However, while we might be unfortunate it won’t do anything to resolve the situation. The secret is to try and change our habits and approach to money. Also, be wary about trying to convert others to better financial habits - it is almost guaranteed to fail.

7. Ignorance is Not Bliss Another attitude to money is to try and avoid thinking about it. We ignore the true extent of our debts, spending and leaving unpaid bills. We frequently miss out on moving to better financial deals and make late payments which harm our credit rating. By ignoring money like this, we merely create more serious problems for the future.

Also, when we put off dealing with financial problems we carry the problem in the back of our mind. We can get no peace of mind because we permanently have a long list of things to deal with. It is better in these circumstances to promptly deal with things like paying bills and sorting out your accounts - then we can forget about them.

8. Develop A New Perspective The following are some money related questions you should ask yourself:

Am I happy with my financial situation? Would more money make my life better? Do I always have financial problems hanging over my head? Is money the most important thing in my life? Is the pursuit of money making me miserable? Would I sacrifice principles to make more money? Even just answering these questions honestly may encourage a new perspective towards money.

[英语作文：诚实金钱和幸福

世间的一切，都是遇见。就像春遇见冬，有了岁月;天遇见地，有了永恒;我遇见她，有了温暖。不知名的陌生人，你可知岁月里的匆匆一瞥，一抹温暖渗入我的生命，枯燥的生活因你更精彩?

冬日的早晨，天色还有些昏暗，凛冽的风呼啸着，路上人烟稀少，行人大多缩着脖子，打着哆嗦。我也拉高衣领，颤抖着身体走在上学的路上。

走到半路，脑海中昨晚最晚完成的语文作业本在脑海一闪而过，“不会忘带了吧”，我嘀咕着，忘带可死定了，我猛地停下脚步，当街拉开书包拉链，翻找起来。

喧嚣声由远及近，路上的行人不知在何时逐渐增多。我的一颗心毫无节奏地怦怦直跳，生怕迟到啊!这不，一翻到作业本，匆匆地把其他书本塞回去，一个转身，大步流星地迈出步伐，还险些撞上一个迎面走来的小女孩。

我扫了一眼手表，距离上课不到八分钟了，仅剩的时间让我不由得脚下生风，加快脚步，神色也仓皇起来，顾不得冷风划过脸颊的刺骨，也忽略了湮没在呼啸风声中的一声声呼喊。

终于，当周围学生的嬉笑声传来，壮观的教学楼屹立眼前时，我紧紧揪着的心才放下来，也放缓了生风的步伐。

突然，耳畔传来一道稚嫩的声音，“姐姐，等一下!”

我下意识觉得喊的不是我，脚步顿了一下，又继续迈出。这时，一双小手抓住我的衣袖——那是一双怎样的手啊?肥嘟嘟的，有些可爱，却被冷风摧残，冻得红紫，本该灵活地玩游戏的手指也略显僵硬。

我回头看向小手的主人——一个喘着气，似乎跑过，脸色带着几分苍白，鼻子通红的小女孩。我疑惑地看着她，表示不解，而她的面容竟有些眼熟。

她边打着哆嗦，边递给我一张卷子，那卷子因被冻僵的手攥过而有褶皱。可令我惊讶的是，那分明是我的卷子啊!

“姐姐，你的卷子刚刚掉了……”

我呆愣地看着她，想起刚刚在路上翻过书包，想起转身后险些撞上的小女孩……是她!莫非——她追了我一路?只为了给我送来落下的一张卷子?我们不过是素不相识的陌生人啊!

寒风仍在呼啸，我内心如潮水般汹涌澎湃，接过卷子，她吸了吸鼻子，笑靥如花。这一刹那，我内心的世界春暖花开，被一丝暖意紧紧包围着，渗入生命。

生活如此匆忙，有谁会为你停下脚步?又有谁会不顾寒冷，追了一路，为你送来丢失的东西?陌生人，岁月来的匆匆一瞥，我忘却了你的容貌，却收藏了你留下的温暖。从那一刻起，我的生活因你更精彩!

------------------------------------------------

It was a very busy evening, I was doing my homework at my home. My father was writing a composition in the study room. My mother was interested in Shanghai opera. She was watching a Shanghai opera contest. The apartment was very quiet. Suddenly the light went out. It was a blackout, but I liked it very much. It came and I didn’t have to do my homework. We went to the living room very slowly. After 5 minutes, we all sat in the sofa. It was a lucky, fortunate day. I said that let’s held a concert. My parents agreed with me. I took out some candles and lighted up. We were singing, laughing and talking. We had a really good time. But while I was singing, the light suddenly turned on. Oh, my God. My father went back to his room went on writing. My mother turned on the TV and said to me “Dear, do your homework!” I felt very frustrated. I sat at the desk and thought I hated light. I hoped there would be a blackout the next day. I thought I would enjoy myself more and more. I went into a dream……

翻译：我的寒假

许多孩子总是盼望着寒假。这是因为在这个假期间，孩子不用去学校，他们可以做任何他们喜欢做的。象：玩，看电视，旅游，或者睡上一整天等等。而且当寒假来临的时候，也意味着春节即将到来。我几乎整天都呆在家里，玩我的电脑。我玩电脑游戏和在网上冲浪。在寒假期间，我仍然和我的同学、朋友保持联系。我想我就快成“薯条鼠标”了。在春节期间，我拜访了我的亲人，而且我得到了很多红包。尽管我的假期是疯狂和兴奋的，但我的确学到了很多。这对放松是有好处的，我已经为即将到来的新学期做好了准备。再见！我的寒假。

New Year Resolution

In the new year, I will work hard in school. I will pay attention in class, complete assignments on time and do extra readings preactively to enhance my understandings about the topics covered in class.

I will lead a healthy lifestyle by balancing work and leisure, exercising regularly and keeping a healthy diet.

I will spend more time with my families and friends. I will share with them my joys and tears and give them a hand when they need help.

Let 2009 be a year of happiness and fulfilment.

[有关寒假生活的英语作文

Before Chinese students go to college, they have been told about the great

things on campus life all the time, so they have the motivation to study hard.

When they come to university, they begin to slow down their pace to study and

waste their youth.

Nowadays, a lot of college students lose motivation to move on when they

come to the new chapter of their life. Campus life seems to be relaxed and a

place to free themselves. Without the supervision from parents and teachers,

they choose to lose themselves in the computer games or all kinds of

parties.

So someone made the comment on campus life as the nursing house, which

satirized the students who wasted their precious time and youth to accomplish

nothing. It is the important stage for them to learn professional knowledge and

master skills, so as to be competitive and find their own place in the

world.

For a wise student, they make the plans and improve themselves all the

time. If we live the life as the old people in the nursing house, then it is

kind of committing suicide for a young person.

忧伤的旋律

习惯于在寂静的夜里，倚着窗，望着漆黑的夜空，影子寂寞无依，窗外是寂寞的旋律，忧伤地爬满心阶。把忧伤飘渺成空气，包围着自己，以致于沦为忧伤的阶下囚，无法逾越。痛定思痛，在痛苦的深渊中忧伤地挣扎着，最后只会溺死在忧伤而痛苦的海洋中。

花落悲怆，伤于寂寥。冬日里，清冷的日光，随着叶片瑟瑟地散落，不经意间酿出鸾鸟展翅的幻像。脑海中有千丝万缕剪不断，心中有千言万语诉不清，总有一份忧伤占据着我心灵的一角，作茧自缚的悲哀，毛虫自困的无奈。花落满地鸟惊飞，东窗未白孤灯灭。

破茧的音符

一缕阳光划破灰暗的天空，心的乌云也随着阳光的蔓延而被驱散。忧伤的乌云，是在自我束缚下把心灵禁锢得不透入一丝阳光。放眼望去，芸芸众生里遍地开满了挣扎不屈的生命之花，倔强地在狂风暴雨中绽放笑靥。何故作茧自缚，沦为毛虫？

天空依旧，白云浮动，阳光耀眼，时间流逝。人生没有草稿，不能从来，何不奏响破茧的音符？蓝色的茧，挣破束缚后褪变成一只金色的蝴蝶。蚕蛹作茧自缚，备受折磨，等待破壳而出，把翔飞的梦留给明天，是破茧的等待与勇敢。用手拨开漫天心的乌云，让阳光射进阴暗的心房，让滋润的雨水滴在心田，让幸福在心的草地上萌芽。

幸福的舞步

夜，遮住了光，而星星努力闪烁，成就了美丽的夜空。高悬空中的一弯明月，皎洁已渐退散，留下朦胧的月影，静谧，划破！抛开心灵的羁绊，扎破自缚的蓝茧，守住心灵的契约，张开双手，去感受幸福的风。

把心灵的无奈与忧伤删去，忧伤不应该是青春的主旋律。让心灵的出口透入一缕阳光，把自缚的悲哀留给昨天，希望的梦留给明天，幸福的舞步留给今天。

量身定做自己的幸福，青春的主旋律里不应有忧伤。用破茧的音符，幸福的舞步，奏响青春之曲的华章。在字里行间演绎着属于自己的繁华，让华丽落幕处闪耀休止符幸福的光亮。在风行处聆听花开的声音，在水云间绽放笔端的笑靥。

[高中叙事作文量身定做自己的幸福

不知不觉中，我已成为一名高中生。第一次踏进高中教室时，映入眼帘的是一张张陌生的脸庞。三年的初中生活就这样悄然远去了，留给我的只有回忆，回忆那些人，那些事，那间伴随我三年一千多个日日夜夜的教室。没想到操场上那些曾经嬉戏的、奔跑的身影，那些熟悉的面孔现在已经成为幻影。如花的校园，已物是人非，不禁生出不尽的感慨。

比起初中生活，高中生活就像一幅神秘的画卷，让人猜不透，看不清，只能一步步脚踏实地走下去，认清方向，明确目的，不断反思自己曾经走过的路。

既然选择了高中，便义无返顾、风雨兼程。高中是让我进入大学的阶梯，是我们走进社会的一道门槛，但前行的道路可能荆棘丛生，我们只要有风的精神，就能穿过这些荆棘和困难。我的高中生活才刚刚开始，我不能它将发展的如何，但发展的方向和主动权掌握在我们手中。

实际中的高中生活比我想象中的高中生活不容易得多。我总是将初中的思维定势不自觉地搬到高中学习中来，显然，没有什么效果。高中生活不同于初中生活，高中学习内容也不同于初中。高中更注重自学，预习、复习、练习，均需要同学们主动来完成，老师的作用只是引导罢了，那种完全依赖于老师“包打天下”的学习念头已经如“黄鹤一去不复返”。

上了高中，似乎很多同学没有了初中时的积极主动，比如很少有人抢着回答问题。现在，每天都觉得时间紧，加上作业有很多。因此，我们更要安排好时间，有计划的完成学业，否则，忙到最后，只是竹篮打水一场空，什么也没有学到。我们不能一味只会埋头苦干，而不思考，不总结，那么只能算是做了无用功。

高中生活就是那么短暂的三年，如果不好好计划、不好好珍惜，我们心中所有的理想和憧憬都会无情地破灭，我们将像空袋子一样，难以立足于将来充满竞争和挑战的社会。读书虽苦，但就像咀嚼橄榄，是先苦后甜。只要认真、踏实，相信我们一定会拥有一个灿烂的明天!同学们，让我们相约三年的高中生活，扎扎实实打造一个美丽的大学梦想。
