Last week， my friend asked me to go to visit his hometown with him。 I felt

so excited and wanted to have a look at the scenery。 My parents allowed and I

planned to play for a week。 I felt so free to leave home and could do what I

wanted。 I picked up the fruits and caught the fish in the clear river。 It was

such fun for me。 But when I saw my friend talked happily to his grandparents， I

felt a little lost。 I started to miss my parents。 I missed the food my mother

cooked and the way she complained。 So when I got home， I was very happy and grew

up。

All of us like our physics teacher, Miss Gao. When our class master asked for leave, Miss Gao took his place. Although her family name is Gao一in Chinese it means tall-shes really shorter than all the other teachers. But we have never paid attention to her height，instead we are always interested in her lessons. She is strict with us so we have made great progress in physics. Now our class master has come back, but we still regard Miss Gao as our second class master.

This holiday my sister and I went to Shanghai. My sister had just graduated and she wanted to find a job in Shanghai. My uncle lived in Shanghai, so we lived with him after we got there. On the first day we went to a lot of interesting places, including Waitan and Huangpu Park.

The next few days were spent helping my sister find a job. We read many advertisements in newspapers. My sister failed in getting the first job because they said she was too young. Then we lost our way and couldn’t find the second company. We had a map but the city is so big, so we had to asked someone for help and finally found the second company. The boss had a talk with my sister and asked her to wait at home for their decision. A month later we went home. My sister couldn’t find a job in Shanghai because she was not knowledgeable enough or she didn’t have enough experience.

In this holiday we learned that if we want to succeed in life, we have to work hard and get a lot of knowledge.(约185字)

在日本的一个动物园里一群企鹅在散步减肥。哪里的15只金企鹅媒体散步两次，每次500米。 动物园工作人员说：“和人类一样，企鹅冬天不怎么运动，容易发胖。”

导读：哲理小故事能够引起小朋友们的兴趣，在看故事的同时也能从中学习到一些人生哲理，在外国也有许多的哲理小故事，下面小编为大家整理了一些短篇英语哲理小故事，希望大家能够喜欢。

一、THRIFT 节俭

There is not a (no) thrifty man but becomes a rich man sooner or later. Why? Because he will not spend such money as is unnecessary. Little by little his money will accumulate. Ten to one, he is bound to make a fortune.

I do not like such men as spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know extravagance is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being. In short, thrift makes poor men rich and extravagance makes rich men poor.

一个没有一个节俭的人迟早不成为一个富翁。为什么？因为他决不花像那种不必要的钱。渐渐他的钱就会聚积起来。十之八九，他一定会发财的。

我不喜欢那种乱花钱的人。他们不知道奢侈是一件坏事。它只能够使他们暂时快乐而已。总而言之，节俭使穷人变富，奢侈使富人变穷。

二、PERSEVERANCE 毅力／坚忍

Needless to say, nothing but perseverance can lead a man to the way of success. In other words, a persevering man never does his work without succeeding in it. This is indeed unchangeable truth.

Our National Father, Dr.  , is the most ideal example. He was devoted to the revolution about forty years. He met with many failures, but he was anything but discouraged. As a result, he won. The Republic of China was born.

不需说，只有毅力才能引导人迈向成功之途。换句话说，一个具有毅力的人做工作终是(never...without)会把它做成功的。这真是不易之定理也。

我们国父是一个最理想的例了.致力国民革命凡四十年。他遭遇到许多次的失败，但是他决不灰心。结果，他赢了。诞生了。

三、WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY 有志者事竟成

The secret of success (The key to success) is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win (get) the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure.

It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing (nothing difficult) in the world. if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.

成功的要诀不是金钱而是一个坚强的意志（用not so mush... as）。一个大人物是一个具有坚强意志和不屈不挠精神的人。换句话说，如果一个人没有坚强意志去获得最后胜利的人，他终其一生永远不会成功。他只不过是（用no more than）一个失败者。

很显明的世界上并没有难事。如果你下定决心去做它，你一定会达到目的。那是显而易见的。

四、Whale 鲸鱼

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.

The little girl stated that a whale swallowed Jonah.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

The little girl said,“When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah.”

The teacher asked,“What if Jonah went to hell?”

The little girl replied,“Then you ask him.”

一个小女孩和她的老师正在谈论有关鲸鱼的事情。

她的老师说：“一头鲸鱼从身体构造的角度看，是不可能吞掉一个人的。因为尽管鲸鱼是一种非常巨大的哺乳动物，可它的嗓子非常小。”

那个小女孩说：“约拿(一位西伯来先知)就是被鲸鱼吞掉的。”

她的老师非常生气，她再次告诉小女孩说：“从身体构造角度来讲，鲸鱼是不可能吞掉一个人的。”

那个小女孩说：“那等我到了天堂，就去问问约拿。”

她的老师问：“那么，假如约拿下了地狱怎么办?”

那个小女孩回答：“如果是那样的话，你就去问他。”

环境对人类十分重要，可是有些人不爱护环境，也不知道环境对人类的重要性。

Environment is very important for human beings, but some people do not care for the environment, do not know the importance of the human environment.

你看，许多人都不爱护环境，它们随地扔垃圾，有些人认为：一个垃圾算什么?可是积少成多，小区里最好看的地方成了垃圾站。有些人为了建房子挖山砍树，美丽的小山变成了沙漠和房子。有些人没时间做饭，就在外面快餐店买了饭一边走一边吃，吃完饭后他们还把一次性饭盒，一次性筷子丢在地上。有些人为了展示自己家里很有钱就开着跑车在路面上到处跑。他们没有意识到既污染环境又浪费能源。有些工厂将一些污水、浓烟排入江河和天空。

You see, a lot of people do not care for the environment, they throw rubbish everywhere, some people think: what a waste? But many a little makes a mickle, areas where the best places to see a garbage station. Some people in order to build a house digging trees, beautiful hill into the desert and the house. Some people have no time to cook, just outside the store to buy a snack food while walking after dinner, they also eat, disposable lunch boxes, disposable chopsticks on the floor. Some people in order to show that he has a rich family is driving a car to run around on the road. They do not realize that both environmental pollution and waste of resources. Some factories in some sewage discharged into the rivers, the smoke and the sky.

为了我们的环境，为了我们的生活，我希望人们可以把垃圾扔进垃圾桶，少砍树多造林，尽量回家吃饭。将废气废水引入地下，不要展示自己多么有钱，要注意节能减排。

For the sake of our environment, to our life, I hope people can throw rubbish into the dustbin, cut less than planting, try to go home for dinner. The waste gas and water into the underground, dont show his money, pay attention to energy saving and emission reduction.

相信在大家的努力下不远的将来，我们的城市会更美!

Believe not far from everyones efforts in the future, our city will be more beautiful!

It is well-known that smoke is bad for our health. But there are still many

people addicted to it and find it hard to quit. It is a problem make many people

confused. For this, I have some suggestions. Firstly, you have to aware the

disadvantages of smoke. If you don’t aware this, you won’t have the mind to do

it. Then what you need is a strong mind. There is a saying,” Nothing in the

world is difficult for one who sets his mind on it.” So, a strong mind is

important.

What’s more, I have warm tips. If you really want to smoke, you can

have a chew gum instead of smoke. After a while, your desire to smoke will be

fade away gradually. Last, give yourself some awards. When you find yourself

make some progress, you can give yourself some awards. It is good. Hope you can

give up smoke successfully.

Since the childhood, I contact most is books.

Experience the vibrant spring, scorching sun of summer, the leaves blowing in the autumn of vanity jade build by laying bricks or stones in the winter, I realized more pleasure from the book.

I most like to see the book is "twenty-four histories", these two books of the romance of three kingdoms.

Often open the two books, I couldnt help to enjoy them, it seems is the man. Read about the sad sentence, my heart cant help but give birth to mourn; Description of scenery, I want; Describe happy like, I just silly smile.

"Rolling in the Yangtze river in the winter of a mill, spray all heroes. Success or failure is turned empty. Castle peak is still in, just a few degrees sunset."

"The moon used to white hair on the river, watching the spring months. A pot of unstrained wine or liquor reunions. Ancient and modern how many things, have to pay a proverb."

This word is aptly describes the situation in the three and the emotion, it is make me cry from the heart.

There are poems, composition, all let me drunk so story. Learn these knowledge for me to gain a wide variety of awards, learned many Chinese book knowledge.

Have a tragic, for non-ferrous, the view is sentient beings, both culture, again long knowledge, this is the pleasure of reading.

从小到大，我接触最多的便是书。

经历了生机勃勃的春，骄阳似火的夏，落叶飘飞的秋，粉妆玉砌的冬，我从书中体会了更多的乐趣。

我最喜欢看的书是《二十四史》、《三国演义》这两本书。

每每翻开这两本书，我就情不自禁地陶醉其中，似乎自己就是那个人。读描写悲伤句子，我心中不由生出悲哀;描写景物的，我触景生情;描写开心之类的，我就傻乎乎地笑。

“滚滚长江冬逝水，浪花淘尽英雄。是非成败转头空。青山依旧在，几度夕阳红。”

“白发渔樵江渚上，惯看秋月春月。一壶浊酒喜相逢。古今多少事，都付笑谈中。”

这首词十分贴切描写了三国局势与情感，这十分让我哀从心生。

还有古诗、作文、故事都让我如此沉醉。学到的这些知识为我夺取了多种奖项，学到了语文书许多没有的知识。

有悲有喜，有生有色，有情有景，既修文化，又长见识，这就是读书的乐趣。

First time to take a plane

During the summer holidays, I visit to Shanghai with my parents. We took a

plane there. It was my first time to take a plane. I was excited but nerves. I

was excited because I never took a plane before and I was looking forward to it.

Flying in the high sky is really cool. I was nerves because some people said

that it would be dizzy when the plane takes off and lands. However, the whole

journey on the plane was so great. It was a happy experience.

Everyone has a dream. But I think my dream is to be a football star when I

grow up. I liked playing football when I was a child. No matter what the weather

is like, I often play football with my friends on the playground after school. I

like Ronaldo best. Now I will do my best to study hard in the school. I believe

my dream will come true in the future. At that time, I am not only proud of my

parents, but also proud of all the people in Yunnan.

Now I am still a middle school student. I must try my best to work hard at

my lessons. I think my dream will come true some day in the future if I work

hard.

It was a nice day last Sunday. Zhang Ming was fishing by the Qinhuai River

when a little boy went to play nearly. Suddenly, Zhang Ming heard someone

shouting for help. He looked around and found that a little boy was falling into

the water. It was very dangerous. Zhang Ming jumped into the river immediately.

He tried his best to pull the boy out of the river. At that time other people

came to offer help. Finally, the boy was saved and he was very grateful. People

all said Zhang Ming was very brave and helpful. We should learn form him.

Very good question, the answer to which needs to be in English as reading English has nothing to do with Chinese.

When reading English,that brain should think English and only English,not Chinese.

There are two pathways to lead information to the brain:by sound or by sight.

Sound becomes meaning,all in English,and goes to an area in the brain named letterbox to be understood.

Sight becomes sound (for a lot of people) then becomes meaning,(all in English,and goes to an area in the brain named letterbox to be understood.)

All of the above.That is the only single complete way to understand English when reading.

My home have a dog named spot, three years old this year, the colour is light yellow, very likable, little nose is black, and small, it naturally has a character of arrogance.

Little is a golden retriever. Remember in the winter of 2007, the snow was falling thickand the wind was its mother put it, born a month later I went to grandma house held it back, but it is small, it is about two jins, little living in my house for a year or so, and because my house without the loess, and the urine is also an issue, but under my mother had to send it is grandmas house, little just walk a couple of days, and I think it all the time, what matter all downhearted, time is long, I also gradually forgotten.

To from one day, mother said: didnt go to grandmas house for a long time, lets go and see, that makes me fiercely remembered Id left a good friend, after lunch, we went to grandmas house, a meeting, I almost didnt recognize, also was like a "bean sprouts" puppy, is now, thick and tall, look the jovian, has a bit of light red nose, looks very spirit.

On the way home, I want to for a long time, why at the beginning of the puppy to grandma house can grow up? Eat fat? I think its because my grandma home food is to its liking. Ha ha, my little little cute.

我家有一只小狗，名叫点点，今年三岁，毛色是浅黄色的，非常讨人喜欢，点点的鼻子黑黑的，长得及小，它天生有一种傲慢的性格。

点点是一只金毛。还记的2007年冬天，正下着鹅毛大雪，它的母亲把它生下来，一个月以后我去姥姥家把它抱了回来，但它分外的小，它就是两斤左右，点点在我家生活了一年左右，因为我家没有黄土，点点的大小便也成了一个问题，无奈之下妈妈不得不把它寄存在姥姥家，点点刚走的的那几天，我无时无刻不在想它，干什么事都无精打彩，时间久了，我也渐渐淡忘了。

至从有一天，妈妈说：好久没去姥姥家了，今天去看看吧，这使我猛的想起了被我遗忘的好朋友点点，吃过午饭，我们去了姥姥家，一见面，我还差点没有认出，当初像“豆芽形”的小狗，现在却长得又粗又高，看起来威风凛凛的，鼻子上也有一点淡淡的红色，显得格外精神。

在回家的路上，我想了许久，为什么当初的小狗到了姥姥家就长大了?也吃胖了呢?我想是因为姥姥家的饭很合它的胃口吧。呵呵，我家的小点点可爱吧。

I like to travel to different places, I can see the beautiful scenery and

get to know the different cultures. My friends and I always travel together, we

make many plans in advance. But the plans will always be interrupted by all

kinds of unexpected incidents, like the bad weather, the holiday being

cancelled, so we have to spend another time to wait for the trip. Traveling

alone can ignore these problems, I can go to travel whenever I want, I just need

to pick up my backpack, and then buy the ticket. It is so free, I don’t have to

wait for others, I can go to the places I want to. Traveling alone is good.

“读书破万卷，下笔如有神”，这是杜甫眼里的书。对啊！一本书犹如一盏灯，在黑暗时为我们照亮。一本书犹如一位朋友，在我寂寞的时候陪伴我。我也看过很多书，比如：《海伦凯勒》、《假如给我三天光明》、《故事作文》、《古诗词三百首》……其中《海伦凯勒》是我怀着激动的心情，一口气读完了它，从中我受益颇多。

《海伦凯勒》这本书记叙了美国盲聋女作家海伦凯勒的一生。海伦凯勒一岁半因病丧失了视觉和听觉，这对于一般人来讲是不可想象、不可忍受的痛苦。然而海伦并没有向命运屈服，在老师的教育、帮助下，她战胜了“病魔”，学会了讲话，学会了用手指“听话”。24岁时，她以优等成绩毕业于著名的哈弗大学拉德女子学院。

一个盲聋人能取得这么大的成就，是何等的惊奇。如果海伦屈服于命运的话，那么她将成为可怜又愚笨的寄生者。然而她并没有向命运低头，反而成为人类的骄傲，成了一个知识渊博的人。让每个人都敬佩她，让每个人都知道她的名字——海伦凯勒。

海伦让我联想到了“当代的爱因斯坦”——霍金。他1942年出生于英国。剑桥大学哲学博士，没有见过他的人，都以为他是一个身体健康的人。但是，他大学学习后期患“肌肉萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症”，半身不遂。1985年丧失语言能力，靠电脑声音合成器表达感想。这个坚持不懈的精神一直让他前进，一直不让他向命运低头。

书，伴着我成长。书，让我在知识的海洋中遨游。书将会成了我人生最好的伙伴！

If set up a holiday, I want to set up a reading festival.

There is a celebrity once said: books are the ladder of human progress. Can learn directly from the book in predecessors experience, knowledge to make our trips up again on the way forward little, little detours. Reading can broaden our horizons, cultivate our feelings... The benefits of reading.

But now, we learn a lot of pressure, although we also want to read more books, but the heavy academic burden and a variety of extracurricular cram school, the remedial class is our breath, where still have time to read more books? So I can look forward to establish a special reading festival.

In reading festival on this day, we dont have to go to school, dont do your homework, you can enjoy all the extra-curricular, explicitly swim in the sea of knowledge. Can communicate with friends their own reading experience, express their own unique insights. Can also and students to act out the scene in the book! Reading festival can each month once or twice a week.

How I hope to have a reading festival!

如果设立一个节日，我要设立一个读书节。

有一个名人曾经说过：书是人类进步的阶梯。从书中可以直接学到前人的经验，知识使我们再前进的路上少摔跟头，少走弯路。读书可以开阔我们的视野，陶冶我们的情操……读书的好处数不胜数。

可是现在，我们的学习压力很大，虽然我们也很想多读书，可是过重的学业负担和五花八门的课外补习班，辅导班压得我们喘不过气来，哪里还有时间多读书呢?因此，我特别期盼能设立一个读书节。

在读书节这一天，大家不用上学，不用做作业，可以尽情地看课外书，痛痛快快地在知识的海洋里畅游。可以和同学朋友交流自己的读书体会，表达自己的独特见解。还可以和同学把书中的情景表演出来!读书节可以每个月一次或每周两次。

我多么希望有一个读书节啊!

It is Teachers;Day on September 10th every year. Teachers are the greatest people in the world，I think，because they teach us how to write and read. The most

important is that they teach us how to be a real man. They are also kind to everybody and they don;t want anyone to fall behind others. They always get on very well

with their students，and they are our best friends. When students are in trouble，they can help them in time.I will be a teacher when I grow up.

今天是大年三十，除夕夜。家家户户都是一家人坐在一起吃年夜饭。

Today is thirty of the year, new years Eve. Every family is a family sitting together to eat a years dinner.

没吃一会儿门外就响起了“噌……碰”或者“啪啪啪……”的声响，我们一家人放下碗、筷，跑到门口看，这是哥哥说了一句话：不如我们也拿几个烟火出来放吧！我们所有人点头表示同意。我们将烟火放在门前，哥哥走到烟火旁用打火机点燃，便马上跑了回来。我听见“噌……”的一声就回过头来看，只见一朵花，无颜六色：红的象征着喜庆，蓝的象征着智慧、绿的象征着生机、黄的象征着温暖、紫的象征着浪漫……一会天女散花，一会枪林弹雨，七色的小球一颗颗落下，犹如一道彩虹。这是几乎所有的人家都开始放烟花了，一瞬间天空变成了烟花的海洋，各种色彩，各种样子，都在天空中绽开。快乐的寒假作文200字
