写未来生活的英语作文60词【精选20篇】

我想，我未来一定会过着富裕的“小康”生活。

那是未来的某一个星期天。我不用工作，不用学习，不用出差。我可以早晨七点半起床，然后照顾我起居的机器人会帮我叠被子，准备早餐。

“今天的早餐是面包、牛奶和煎蛋。请问在您吃早餐的时候要打开电视吗？或者打开您的电脑，浏览一下今天的要闻，还是到您的手机微博里查看一下您的邮件呢？”

我回答：“把电脑打开吧。哦，对了，顺便帮我选一套出行的服装，再打扮一下，准备一辆车，吃完早餐我要去旅游。”

“好的，主人。”

就这样我一边吃着早餐，一边浏览各网站的要闻，而机器人正帮我打理一切，并准备好了一辆超级汽车。这种汽车可以自动驾驶，并不需要司机，司机这个时候可以做我的私人助理。

坐着超级汽车，一路看着风景，驶向想去的地方。

我爱极了这辆车，在陆地上遇到交通堵塞，它可以飞起来，像飞机一样在天空中前行；行驶到水域，它又会像一条船，平稳地在水面上航行；它就像一个百变“金刚”，飞机、轮船、潜水艇……想变什么就变什么，在危急时刻它还可以开启自动保护功能呢！

我驾驶着它，来到了海南，我到海里去游泳，又把车变成潜水艇，翱翔在海洋里，我触摸着海的世界，看看海底里有没有童话故事里的“美人鱼”，看看有没有神话中金碧辉煌的“水晶宫”……

从海底里出来，我就把螃蟹、海虾、椰子当做午餐，把沙滩当做我玩耍的乐园……

不知不觉到了下午六点钟了，我驾驶着汽车回到了家。这时，机器人过来了，它帮我换上睡衣，开始给我做按摩，去除我一天的疲劳，使我感到十分惬意！随后，另一个机器人又给我端来了晚餐，我吃着水果，看着电视，然后又做了一下运动。

到了该睡觉的时间了，我径直走进卧室，床早已铺好，我躺在床上，回想着一天的经历，不由地笑了，因为这一天过得是如此的美好！

一天的时间过得很快，而想要过上这样的生活，我知道前提就是要好好学习，掌握建设未来的本领，这样未来的生活才会变得美好。我想请大家记住这句话：知识改变世界，知识创造未来！

“天哪，明天就出发?”我刚下飞机，便接到了李教授的电话。现在是2035年，我刚才美国交流回来，还没来得及和家人团聚，就被教授安排了新任务。李教授是世界知名的建筑学家，我是他的得意门生，正在攻读博士学位。而明天的目的地，就是刚刚结束战争的叙利亚。

一下飞机，我就被眼前的景象惊呆了。触目可及之处竟没有一座像样的房子，有的摇摇欲坠，有的残破不堪，还有的已是一片瓦砾看着眼前这悲惨的一幕，我不禁想起了中国的房屋。

此时，中国早已成了世界上科技最发达的国家之一，各种高科技的新型建筑取代了传统房屋。国内的建筑，都是用一种新开发的纳米材料建成的。这种新材料十分坚固，不怕日晒雨淋，能抵御十二级地震和十二级台风，而且十分轻便，易折叠。如果要搬家，只要把房子拆分折叠起来，直接放在小型卡车上就可以运走，到了新的地方再进行组装。房子的墙面可以根据主人的心情改变颜色，并且具备调温功能，再也不用空调了，节约了能源。饭店、宾馆等公共场所就更高级了，如果你想一边观赏海底风光一边用餐，可以去水下餐厅，那可是用全透明材质建造而成的，如果你想在高空俯瞰大地，可以搭乘简易飞行器，去悬浮在空中天空宾馆

想到这里，我不禁对叙利亚人民充满了同情，真想赶快帮助他们重建一个美好家园啊!我和科研团队的伙伴们一起开工了。我用电脑制图软件绘制好一栋大楼的外形，然后电脑进行自动测算，为了让大楼设计更合理方便，我不断地进行测算修改。团队的伙伴们也热火朝天地投入了工作，有的进行地形勘探，有的指挥机器人清理废墟，还有的进行空气净化，消除空气中的烟尘和有毒物质机器人们在我的指挥下按图纸有条不紊地工作着，将3D打印出来的一块块建筑材料进行拼装

一个月以后，我们用最先进的建筑材料和施工技术，造好了三栋五十层的大楼。为了不让居民们再遭受战争之苦，我们特别加固了外墙，使它可以承受炮火的袭击，在必要时刻，大楼还可以拆分成许多小飞船，帮助居民迅速撤离。我看着宏伟的大楼叹了口气：“唉，希望叙利亚人民永远不要用上这些功能!”我转念又想，现在中国的维和部队来到了这里，相信凭借祖国强大的实力，一定能帮助叙利亚重建一个美好的国家。

坐在回国的飞机上，我思绪万千，一定要研究出更好的建筑材料，建造出更安全美观的房屋，让大家都能安居乐业。将来我要带着自己新的研究成果，去帮助更多的落后国家，让中国成为全世界人民的好朋友!

在过去的生活中，通讯有很多方法，例如飞鸽传书，燃烽火。但它们并不精确。直到现在，人们发明了手机。由最开始只能打电话的手机，演变成了现在可以上网查资料，可以玩游戏的手机。那未来的手机会是什么样的呢？跟我一起来看看吧！

未来的手机已经变成了一个隐形眼镜。这副隐形眼镜非常小巧，柔软。所以当它贴在眼睛上的时候，不会有任何的感觉。现在的手机和电脑，以及其他的电子产品，都是需要充电的。但是这个眼镜避免了这一个缺点，它并不需要充电，只要把这副眼镜戴上，它就会马上透过人们的视网膜，连接到大脑。所以人们想什么，它都会如实地显现出来。当人们给他人打电话的时候，只需要想一下那个人，就可以开始通话了，而且它的声音效果非常好，不会有任何通话的障碍。这副隐形眼镜可不只有这些优点，它还是一部百科全书呢。只要你在脑子里想一下问题，它就会给你仔细地解答出来，这一点对我们小孩子非常有用。因为他不会像其他的辅导机构那样，只告诉我们答案却不讲解出来，这副隐形眼镜则会一直讲解，直到我们听懂为止。

未来的手机就像你的朋友，你的老师，你的家人一样。无时无刻不在陪伴着你，监督着你，提醒着你。当你成功时，它提醒你，不要太骄傲；失败时，他会鼓励你再接再厉；不开心的时候，它会在你耳边播放出一首首快乐的歌曲，让你开心起来；高兴时，它便播放节奏明快的奏鸣曲；累了，它还会播放清静悦耳的安眠曲；睡梦中，它还可以为你编织美梦，让你在睡眠中得到最大的放松。

这种科技虽然现在还没有，但是我相信，随着科技的发展，它一定会被应用的。

I often go to see my grandma and grandpa during my summer vacation.They areboth seventy years old and live in the country happily. Summer view of thecountryside is very beautiful. I can do many interesting things there. I am used to getting up early in the morning breathing the fresh airlistening to the birds singing and enjoying the green trees red flowers and the river. I like fishing with my friends. When night comes I sit under the tree with my grandma listening to her telling me many funny stories. And I tell her some new things happening in the city. When I have to go backI am always reluctant to go. I really feel happy living in the country.

暑假期间我经常去看望我的爷爷奶奶，他们都已经70岁了，住在乡下。夏天的乡下非常漂亮，我可以在那里做很多有趣的事情。我习惯一大清早起床，呼吸新鲜空气，聆听鸟儿欢唱，欣赏绿树红花和门前的小河。我还喜欢跟伙伴们一起钓鱼。夜幕降临时，我就坐在树下，听奶奶讲动听的故事。我也会给她讲一些城里的新鲜事。每次该回城时，我总是恋恋不舍。我确实喜欢乡下的生活。

After ten years, I will be an English teacher of my middle school, be the people I respect the most. I will give my students very lively English classes, tell them study English can be fun. I won’t leave my students much homework so they can have time to play. I will invite them to the English corner, have a talk with foreign friends, so they can speak English, not just read the English. My students will like me, not hide away from me. My student and I can be friends. From now on, I have to work hard to be the perfect English teacher.

My teacher gave me an assignment "experience life" last week. I had been thinking how to finish it because I had never done any thing by myself before.

Mother was out today. It was a good chance to complete the assignment. Seeing the barrel was empty, I decided to fetch water from the well.

I took the empty barrel and went towards the well outside the yard. It snowed yesterday, so the alley was very slippery. A layer of thickice was frozen on the platform of the well. I was frightened by the sight, but I gathered my courage to walk towards it.

The alley was so slippery that I walked with difficultly. Suddenly, I slipped and fell down, water in the barrel totally poured down on the ground. I stepped on the platform carefully. After standing steadily and squatting down slowly, I hooked the barrel at the end of the rope and put the rope down slowly. I made an effort to drag the barrel up after it was filled with water. I was very careful because it was easy to slip and fall. Then, I carried the barrel of water and returned to my house. My figners were frozen stiff. I realized my effort was in vain. I hated myself.

I failed to finish the assignment but I did experience life through a trifle which seemed easy but difficult to do well. Such was my first experience of life.

Making Every Day Earth Day

Now the earth is in bad condition. For example, in some places, the air and water pollution is so serious that it causes many deaths. At the same time, many animals and plants are in danger because of the destruction of their habitats.

Luckily, we human beings have realized the problem. On April 22nd, millions of people across the world do something good for the earth. Some clean up beaches and water, some pick up rubbish, others give speeches to call on more people to take action. But can we save the earth only by one day’s work? The future of our planet depends on our efforts. What we should do is to make every day Earth Day. Only by taking good care of it every day can we hope to live in harmony with nature.

I think I am a person who is understand how to make a wonderful living.

Every morning,I get up early and breath the fresh air to make my body be health,then I read some essay to improve my EQ .

I like play taborin ,I always go to park to play taborin with some friends ,when I lose myself in the music ,I always forget the time .

After dinner ,I do some sports like Yoga ,it usually let me feel I am in the nature and so relax.

That is my daily life.

The word "low carbon" has become the pronoun of 21st century, low carbon is also because now people realize the importance of protecting the environment, to create a word. So I decided to, in the future life, I also want to "low carbon" everywhere, protect our survival homeland.

Everything from the beginning of the trip, I go out less as far as possible to get a taxi, short distance of walking, long distance sit bus. I found that, after a period of time, I will save money, and exercise the body, is the best of both worlds.

Then, we should start from the water. I try to use the laundry water to clean the toilet, mop the floor... Every time to drink water, I will pick up as much as they remember to drink water, not pick up more, save water resources. Slowly, I found that mop and clean, even I can do.

In the end, is the power saving. Brightly lit at night, our family, each room the lights are on, sometimes, no one in front of the TV, TV is still open, waste a lot of electricity. I told mom and dad, the door after you leave the room. Dont watch TV, remember to turn off the television, and less use the computer. In the daytime, can not turn on the light, dont turn on the light. Our family all do that, I believe that our electricity will be a lot less. Two months later, the mother to go for electricity time-consuming, found many degrees less electricity!

I learned from the Internet, in Beijing, people in order to make cars less discharge exhaust, with single and double car that runs on different dates. To develop car free day, also hope you can low carbon life, the protection and preservation of our home!

低碳”这个词已经成为21世纪的代名词，低碳也是因为现在的人们终于认识到保护环境的重要性，才创造出的这个词。所以我决定，在以后的生活中，我也要处处“低碳”，保护我们生存的家园。

一切从出行开始，我出门尽量少坐出租车，距离短的就步行，距离长的就坐公交车。我发现，一段时间后，我既节省了路费，又锻炼了身体，真可谓两全其美。

接着，就要从节水做起了。我尽量用洗衣水来清洁马桶、拖地……每次喝水，我会记着要喝多少就接多少水，绝不多接，节约饮用水资源。慢慢的，我发现，地拖得越来越干净，连我都能照的出来了。

最后，就是节电了。一到晚上，我们家就灯火通明，每个房间的灯都开着，有时，电视机前没有人，电视依旧开着，浪费了不少电。我告诉爸爸妈妈，离开房间后要随手关灯。不看电视时，记得将电视关闭，并且少用电脑。在白天，能不开灯，就不要开灯。我们一家人都那么做，我相信，我们家的电费一定会少不少的。两个月后，妈妈再去交电费时，发现少了好几度电呢!

我从网上了解到：在北京，人们为了让汽车少排出尾气，有了单双号汽车在不同日期行驶。制订了无车日，也是希望大家可以低碳生活，保护我们赖以生存的家园!

时间的轮盘已经到了21世纪，人类的物质水平达到了前所未有的水平。然而纵观人类的进步，环境问题越来越严峻。野生动物面临灭绝；热带雨林遭到大肆砍伐；许多河流遭到污染……

而我们的理想生活应该是怎么样的呢？我希望是--

远看山有色

山再也不是光秃秃的，而是绿色覆盖。人们携妻带子，老少相扶，在大山的森林中愉悦地畅游。或坐在地上，或躺着，尽情地倾听大自然的语言；或在村中漫步；或夹着一本书靠在树上品读；或与小朋友们一起在草丛中捉蟋蟀；或加入绿色工程，为再造青山出一份力气。……

静听水无声

浑浊发臭的河水已经是过去的历史了，经过人工治疗，水已经变得清澈见底了。简直不用消毒即可饮用了。那倒污水的哗哗声已经消失，取而代之的是儿童在水中嬉戏玩耍的欢笑声。我们可以坐在小船上，双脚拨着河水，愉快地唱着歌，让头发随风飘散，让河水轻轻地抚摸着我们的双脚。

春去花还在

田野里不在撒用化学肥料了，而是用一种新型的对土质无害的农家肥。田野不再是寸草不生了，到处一片艳丽，红的、白的、黄的、粉的……五颜六色，应有尽有。加上人工温室的培养，谁还会再说花落知多少呢？人来鸟不惊

此时，世界上没有濒临灭绝的动物，人类与鸟类等野生动物建立友好和睦的关系。房顶上，树上，电线上，鸟儿在呼朋引伴，与人类打招呼。你可以轻轻地走过去，轻轻地抚摸小鸟的羽毛。小鸟在你的手掌上啄着，痒痒的，真舒服……

这就是我理想中的未来生活。

（1） How Do People in My Hometown Observe Spring Festival

（2） My College Life ---- A Summary of the First Term in Zhejiang

Gongshang University

Spring Festival in my Hometown

The Spring Festival, the most jubilant and important festival in China, is observed by most Chinese people at home and abroad. Our hometown is not an exception.

Similar with other places in china, we prepare for the festival about half a month before. With the lunar New Year approaching, the red lanterns are hung up along the main streets, making the ancient town filled with the festival atmosphere. While people clean up their houses, decorate it with traditional decorations such as Chinese knots and paper cutting. Each family pastes up Spring Festival couplets to convey their best wishes for the coming year.

On the New Year’s Eve, the whole family sits around, having a

sumptuous feast of reunion. It is worth mentioning that the food we have called maiyouzhi is unique. There is a flat piece of wheat sheet covering various vegetable and meat then rolling them up. What a delicious it is! After dinner, the family always watches the Spring Festival Gala Evening, and sets up fireworks to watch in the New Year.

On the first day of the New Year, people pay visits to the relatives and friends to send New Year’s greetings to each other and wish everything smoothly in the new year. The kids can get a lot of lucky money from the elders.

During the whole holiday, there are varied activities in the town such as lion and dragon dance, and all the citizens enjoy them very much.

People celebrate the festival until the Lantern festival. However, the wonderful memory and the joy of the Spring Festival will last long.

It’s really my honor to be part of Zhejiang Gongshang University.

My College Life

How time flies! I have been in Zhejiang Gongshang University for a semester. In retrospect, my college life is busy but colorful. Different from my senior high school’s life, the whole new life I led is much freer. I arranged my time,

becoming the master of myself.

First of all, study is still the core of my life. I major in Japanese which is both interesting and challenging. We are required to be accomplished in listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating. As a result I had to spend most of time in improving my abilities. Besides of the regular courses, I often attended the lecture and went to the library to eich my knowledge, and I do benefit from what I learnt.

As to the after school life, what I consider most meaningful is joining the YVP to serve society. I think it is the responsibility for every university student to make contribution to the community. Little as my effort is, I tried my best to help the people around us. Once the YVP organized us to sell secondhand books and raise the money to help the people indeed.

In addition, I quite enjoy the travels and the bees. Travels let me experience the sunshine, fresh air as well as the special taste of the local customs and practices. While the bees keep the friendship shining, and friends are as if family members. Both of them lit up my life.

All in all, the college life is a journey, and I have long way to go; all the memory is the most precious treasure, and I will value every moment.

导语：随着科技的发展，你觉得未来的工作环境是怎么样的呢?下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Nowadays ,more and more people prefer to work abroad rather than work at home According to statistics.since 1980， nearly two-thirds of the 1 million people who study overseas did not return home..Because they hold that there may have more possibilities to find a better job and earn more money overseas .But others still believed that at home is better than overseas ,because there have many relationships for you ,which may make it easier for you to find a cozy job .However ,I have another reason for working at home ,I think that it is also convenient for us to look after our family numbers ,because the reason why we want to find a better job is not only making a great living condition for our own but also bring comfort to our family numbers ,and with the rapid development of international trade ,more and more ideal jobs are waiting for us ,so I prefer to work at home.

【参考译文】

如今，越来越多的人喜欢到国外工作而不是在家工作，据统计，自1980以来，近三分之二的100万人留学没有回家..因为他们认为可能有更多的机会找到更好的工作，赚更多的钱，但别人仍然认为海外。国内比国外，因为有很多对你的人际关系，可以使你找到一个舒适的工作，但是，我已经在家工作的另一个原因，我认为它也方便我们照顾我们的家人，因为我们为什么想找一份更好的工作的原因是不仅使一个伟大的生活条件，我们自己也给我们的家人带来安慰随着国际贸易的迅速发展，越来越多的理想工作在等着我们，所以我宁愿在家工作。

我想象中的环境可是不一般的。让我们一起讨论一下吧！

小河从村边悄悄的流过，河岸上是一大片绿油油的青草，好象给河岸铺上了轻柔的绿地毯。岸边的槐树撑开一把碧绿的大伞，为我们洒下了一大片阴凉。还有五颜六色的花，非常美丽。天上的鸟，飞的非常高，鸟儿也非常可爱。河水清澈，河里有可爱的小鱼、小虾还有青蛙和小乌龟。

这么美丽的环境是怎样形成的呢？就是因为人们爱护环境，不乱扔东西，不乱砍树木。所以我们一定要爱护环境，养成爱护花草树木的好习惯。

未来，是毫无瑕疵的梦幻；未来，是科技驾驭的航船；未来，是未知的，而过去是一定的，记忆就是证据；未来，是无法预测的，而正是因为无法预测，才更会让人充满期待，不知道未来的生活将会是怎样的呢？

今天，我坐在书桌前，脑子里想着：未来的生活会是什么样子的呢？我绞尽脑汁，想象不出来。于是，在昏昏沉沉中，我睡着了……

我睁开眼睛，我看到了什么？我穿着特别的外星衣，下了床，来到了餐桌前，我看见爸爸妈妈穿着和我一样的外星衣。我在餐桌旁坐了下来，吃完早餐，我就去上学了。乘着爸爸的飞行船，我很快来到了学校。学校的大门旁边站着一个智能机器人，他手中端着一个银色的盘子，上面放了许多的小卡片。如果你要去哪个班级，只要从盘子里拿出相应的小卡片，刷卡后，传送带会将你送到你想去的班级。上了一天的课，觉得很疲倦，想回家的话，走路就太麻烦了，我们可以乘坐空中校车回家。回到家，我从书包中拿出作业本，开始做作业。如果写错了字，橡皮擦就会自动飞过来，帮你擦掉写错的字……

我正想着，忽然听到有人在叫我，然后我就被妈妈叫醒了。啊，原来这一切只是一个梦啊！虽然只是一个梦，但是我真希望这个梦能变成现实。我想，未来的世界一定会比梦中的更加美好，也更会让人出乎意料。

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。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。

随着科技的发展，上个世纪我们的生活发生了很大改变。很多以前不可能发生的事现在都成为了现实。

因此，我们将来的生活也会改变。我们的生活节奏会大大加快，因为我们会让很多机器帮我们完成工作。很多事情都可以自动完成。

这样人们就有更多时间来玩了。人们可以自由到外太空旅游。

航天飞机可以把人们带到远离地球的行星上。此外，我们的环境会比现在好，因为我们可以采取一些有效措施来保护环境。地球仍旧是人类的美好家园。

今天下午我们学校在多媒体教室举行了一次英语竞赛。比赛主题是“挑战未来”,作为观众我出席了比赛。

从他们的演讲中我学到了很多。他们对未来有不同的打算。但当他们挑战未来时,他们有一些共同之处,那就是,他们都充分利用现在。现在是未来的基础。

比赛过后,我知道我需要对我的未来拟定一个计划。我必须抓住现在的时间实现我的计划。我不会浪费我的宝贵时间。我决心努力学习,提高自己。我将准备挑战我的未来。

Dear Friend Thank You For your Love

Dear friend Lucy， thank you for your love。 We get on well with each other in day-to-day lives。 As for my friend， you always help me with my study。 When I have a few difficulties， you always encourage me to get over difficulties。

Do you remember? Last semester， I forgot to do my homework。 So the next day， I wanted to copy your homework。 Because I really didn’t want to be criticized。 But you said you couldn’t lend your homework to me， it was very bad solution。 Even if I said I would never do it except this time。 Please lent me your homework。 But you still said maybe it would start a bad habit。 I should do my own homework。 So I was pretty angry。 I said I wouldn’t become your friend anymore。 A few days later， I thought I was sorry。 So I told you to forgot this thing。 I wanted to make friends with you。 And I was happy you said OK。

Now I ‘m certain you are my best friend。 Dear friend Lucy， thank you for your love。

Summer can be very hot in southern taibei where the temperature usually goes up to 32"C or more. Because of the heat it is a trying experience to go to school or do anything else in a place that is not air-conditioned. Also because of this I stay at home most of the time during the summer vacation and only occasionally go to the beach to plunge myself into the cool water as a way to keep my body less sticky. Actually I like swimming and think nothing is more refreshing than a swim. In the summer vacation that has just ended I went swimming many times with my classmates and we all had a good time. This summer vacation, however, was not spent entirely in seeking fun. As a second-year senior student I had to prepare myself for the college entrance examinations that were only a year away. In other words, I must find time to study, too. So I divided my time between work and play during the summer vacation and derived much benefit from this arrangement.

I spent this summer vacation in quite a different way. I used to run about every day in previous summer vacations, but this summer vacation I simply could not afford to do so. I would soon be in the last year of my high-school education and would after graduation be up against the college entrance examinations. Though those examinations were still a year away, I had to start early to make myself well prepared by reviewing all those things I had learned at school and this summer vacation was the ideal time for me to do this. At first I was rather dismayed at the thought of this, but later I thought it was better this way because by working hard this summer I could count on endless happy summers to come. With this in mind I then set to work like anything and only occasionally went out for a change or did some physical. I was not at all bored by this kind of life, for I was sustained by a hope.
