高二英语优秀范文十篇（汇集20篇）

there are gains for all our losses,

there are balms for all our pain;

but when youth, the dream, departs

it takes something from our hearts,

and it never comes again.

we are stronger, and are better,

under manhood’s sterner reign;

still we feel that something sweet

followed youth, with flying feet,

and will never come again.

something beautiful is vanished,

and we sigh for it in vain;

we behold it everywhere,

on the earth, and in the air,

but it never comes again!

Everyone has his favorite teacher, so do I. My favourite teacher is Miss Wei, our English teacher. We felt English very difficult when we began to study English. Miss Wei had a good idea to solve the problem. One day, Miss Wei came into the classroom with some fruits, such as apples, bananas, and oranges. She said: “Today we are going to learn the names of the fruits. You can eat the fruits if you can tell me their names in English. ”All the students listened carefully and studied hard. Someone even stood up to answer questions. Class was over, and the fruits were all eaten. From then on, I am more and more interested in English, and I want to say from my heart: “ Thank you, Miss Wei!”

每个人都有他最喜欢的老师,我也是。我最喜欢的老师是魏老师,我们的英语老师。我们觉得英语很难,当我们开始学习英语。魏老师有一个好主意来解决这个问题。有一天,魏老师走进教室和一些水果,如苹果,香蕉,橘子。她说:“今天我们要学习这些水果的名字。你可以吃水果,如果你能告诉我他们的名字在英语。“所有的学生都听得很认真,努力学习。有人甚至站起来回答问题。下课,水果都已经被吃掉了。从那时起,我越来越对英语感兴趣,从我的心,我想说:“谢谢你,韦小姐!”

昨晚，我看了一部电影，电影很感人，讲述了一个女孩出了意外，她的灵魂出了身体，但是她还没有完全死去。作为一个鬼魂，女孩去拜访了她的父母和朋友，她有很多遗憾的事情要去做。最后，女孩醒来并且康复，她决定勇敢去做她想要做的。我想要了自己，如果我明天死去，我也有很多事情要去做。我想要学钢琴，这对我的年龄来说有点晚，我也想要去很多旅游，但是父母不让我单独去，因为他们觉得危险。我应该做自己想做的，生命太短暂了，如果我犹豫过久，计划就会没了，什么事也做不成。

I always dream about returning to the past. As many people say childhood is

the happiest and easiest time in one’s life.

Children show you their true emotions. They know what is compassion and

what is tolerance better than adults. In their world all real thoughts are

presented. They may easily have different opinions with others but they never

understand what is animosity. They enjoy making friends but they never think

about making social communication net. Every child talks from the bottom of his

heart without evil plans hidden and never intrigues against each other. Only in

children’s way can adults make our life simple more real and more enjoyable.

I wish everyone’s heart would keep as innocent and lovely as they ever did

in their childhood. Then the walls between our hearts can be broken down and the

world would be a better place to live in.

There are varied ways of defining tourism. Some people regard it as a pollution-free industry; others think of it an invisible school, Both are based on an accepted fact that tourism cannot only produce profits bearing no pollution along with, but help broaden knowledge and fortify healthy. Aside from the above there exists awidespread theory, claiming that whatever is of the ability to increase in capital belongs to productive industry. In this sense, tourism should hold a position in the scope and ought to be treated as such.

It is true that there is some sense in the theory, yet another equally or even more important aspect should be granted more publicity to. Tourism, in terms of its objective purposes, has a social function which contributes to human communication. Coming from vadous social backgrounds, having motives and goals of every kind, tourists get together, draw close and exchange ideas of their own, from which a fresh state of mind will be created. So what kind of production is it? To the question we should have good reason to give a proper answer: it is a spirit production, a reproduction of relations of production. And the more frequently such exchanges are made, the more good they will do to promoting social and economic development of the mutual. If it is the case that making money through tourism means a dent we have made, so it foretells a fortune to provide cultural service along with tourism. Therefore, to keep close eyes on the latter involves changing our minds first, that is, tourism is by no means a pure economic concept, but takes plenty of ideological activities as its content.

To sum up, unlike other economic forms, the profits from tourism economy cannot be measured completely by means of how much output value, profit, and foreign exchange it will produce. In addition to the reputation of pollution-free industry, its social and far-reaching profit should be probed more deeply. As such the existing scenic spots ought to be kept in good maintenance, and some new ones exploited. Moreover, constructing first-class soft and hard surroundings is desired to attract tourists, the foreign and the domestic.

有不同的方式定义旅游。一些人认为这是一个无污染的产业;其他人则认为它的一个看不见的学校,都是基于一个公认的事实,旅游不能只一起产生利润轴承没有污染,但帮助拓宽知识和增强健康。除了上述存在awidespread理论,声称任何增加资本的能力属于生产行业。从这个意义上讲,旅游业应该在范围和位置应该被视为这样的人。

确实有某种意义上的理论,另一个同样甚至更重要方面应该给予更多的宣传。旅游,在客观方面的目的,有一个社会功能,有助于人际交往。来自vadous社会背景,动机和目标的,游客聚在一起,走近和交换自己的想法,这将会创建一个新的心境。那么什么样的生产是吗?这个问题我们应该有充分的理由给予一个合适的答案:它是一种精神生产,生产关系的再生产。而这些交流越频繁,越好他们会相互的促进社会和经济发展。如果它是通过旅游途径赚钱的情况下削弱我们,所以它预示财富提供文化服务以及旅游。因此,为了保持密切关注后者涉及先改变我们的思想,也就是说,旅游绝不是一个纯经济的概念,但需要大量的思想活动,其内容。

总之,与其他经济形式,旅游经济的利润不能完全通过测量输出值多少,利润和外汇就会产生。除了无污染的行业的声誉,其社会和深远的利润应该更深入地探索。因此现有景区应该保持良好的维护,和一些新的剥削。此外,建设一流的软、硬需要环境来吸引游客,外国和国内。

The language develops as the media become various, many years ago, people used the language that was very formal, because most oral language was always the same as the paper language. But as the time by, people started to use computer, they shared the information, at the same time, many new language was created. The Internet language is in favor by people, they like to use it, because it is fashionable and very appropriate to express what they mean. I like to use the Internet language, it is so new and fun, what’s more, it is convenient, like I can use the shorten words instead of the long words. The problem of the Internet language is that it is very informal, it can’t be written in the paper, it will changes as the time goes by. In my opinion, we can use the Internet language in informal occasions.

语言的发展伴随着多媒体的多样化，很多年以前，人们使用正式的语言，因为大部分口语和书面语言差不多。但是随着时间的流逝，人们开始使用电脑，他们分享信息，同时，很多新的语言被创造出来。网络语言为人们所喜爱，他们也乐意使用，因为这很时尚，也能恰当地表达人们的意思。我喜欢使用网络语言，那很新鲜和有趣，而且，也很方便，比如我可以使用短的词来代替长的词。网络语言的问题在于非常不正式，不能书面书写，网络语言也会随着时间而改变。在我看来，我们可以在非正式场合使用网络语言。

在这一则报导中，我学到很多事，但我第一个想到的是，造成地球变暖的原因是二氧化碳增加。

In this paper, I have learned a lot of things, but I think the first one is the cause of global warming, the increase of carbon dioxide.

为什么二氧化碳会增加呢?我想到的原因是人们常常开车、养食家畜、工厂大量排放黑烟……等。不过这些是大家可以一起解决，说不定可以改善地球继续暖化，例如：目的地很近的话可以骑自行车;目的地很远的话，可以搭乘公共交通运输工具;家畜的排泄物经过处理再排入河内;工厂可以建一座废弃处理厂……等。

Why carbon dioxide will increase? I think the reason is often drive, raising livestock, food factory emissions of smoke...... Etc.. But these are all can solve them together, it can improve the Earth continues to warm, for example: the destination is close enough to ride a bike; destination long enough, can take the public transport; waste livestock treated and then discharged into the Hanoi factory; to build a waste treatment plant...... Etc..

请大家不要小看二氧化碳的威力，等到海平面上升、都市浸水和农地淹没，到最后就会面临粮食不足的危机了。请大家跟我一起喊：“停止伤害地球的行为吧!我们居住的地球只有一个。”

Please do not underestimate the power of carbon dioxide, when the sea level rise, urban water and farmland submerged, eventually facing food shortage. Please call with me: "stop the harm to the earths behavior! Only one earth on which we live. "

Love is an art which involves deep emotion. It is a pure and lofty desire in ones innermost heart. Real love means not only a pleasure, but also loyalty and obligation. To love is to give and sacrifice. One who can not create happiness, even make sacrifice for his beloved, cannot be counted as a true lover.

To be loved you have to love. True lovers are willing to sacrifice themselves for each others sake. True love needs no expression in words. One glance is enough to make each other understand. A handshake, a gentle touch inspired by respect and admiration, will leave you intoxicated and remain in your memory. Even when you are old you will recall and cherish it with deep emotion.

Real love is unforgettable. With the development of science and technology, love becomes more noble, rich, fine and subtle. As is known to all, everyone is born with the right to love and also the right to refuse to return love. Human love exists with human beings. Wherever there are people, there is love.

Let us draw courage, confidence and happiness from love.

I’m an outgoing girl and my name is Shi Yun. I love singing songs,

especially pop songs. My favorite singer is Jay Chou.

As we all know, Jay is a superstar of Asia. He has excellent music skills.

He started to play the piano at 5 years old and studied hard. When he was 15

years old, he was able to write songs. But the environment in which he lived is

not very good. When he was a child, his parents were divorced and as a result

his childhood was full of depression. He lived with his grandparents. He was

always silent and didn’t like talking to others. At the age of 16, he was

attracted by the bass’s low voice. So his mother bought one for him and he

started to play the bass. His success is filled with tears and sweat.

From his story, I know if I want to be successful, I should work harder. I

want to go in for music, although I know the way to success is very difficult

for me. Now that I choose this way, I’ll do my best to realize my dream. Of

course I will tell myself I will be a superstar someday.

我们的潜意识里藏着一派田园诗般的风光! 我们仿佛身处一次横贯大陆的漫漫旅程之中! 乘着火车， 我们领略着窗外流动的景色：附近高速公路上奔驰的汽车、十字路口处招手的孩童、远山上吃草的牛群、源源不断地从电厂排放出的烟尘、一片片的玉米和小麦、平原与山谷、群山与绵延的丘陵、天空映衬下城市的轮廓， 以及乡间的庄园宅第!

but uppermost in our minds is the final destination. on a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. bands will be playing and flags waving. once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. how restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.

"when we reach the station, that will be it! "we cry. "when im 18. ""when i buy a new 450sl mercedes benz! ""when i put the last kid through college. ""when i have paid off the mortgage!""when i get a promotion.""when i reach the age of retirement, i shall live happily ever after! "

然而我们心里想得最多的却是最终的目的地! 在某一天的某一时刻， 我们将会抵达进站! 迎接我们的将是乐队和飘舞的彩旗! 一旦到了那儿， 多少美梦将成为现实， 我们的生活也将变得完整， 如同一块理好了的拼图! 可是我们现在在过道里不耐烦地踱来踱去， 咒骂火车的拖拖拉拉! 我们期待着， 期待着， 期待着火车进站的那一刻!

"当我们到站的时候， 一切就都好了! "我们呼喊着! "当我18岁的时候! ""当我有了一辆新450sl奔驰的时候! ""当我供最小的孩子念完大学的时候! ""当我偿清贷款的时候! ""当我官升高任的时候! ""当我到了退休的时候， 就可以从此过上幸福的生活啦! "

sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. the true joy of life is the trip. the station is only a dream. it constantly outdistances us.

"relish the moment "is a good motto, especially when coupled with psalm 118：24："this is the day which the lord hath made;we will rejoice and be glad in it. "it isnt the burdens of today that drive men mad. it is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.

可是我们终究会认识到人生的旅途中并没有车站， 也没有能够"一到永逸"的地方!生活的真正乐趣在于旅行的过程， 而车站不过是个梦， 它始终遥遥领先于我们!

"享受现在"是句很好的箴言， 尤其是当它与《圣经·诗篇》中第118页24行的一段话相映衬的时候， 更是如此："今日乃主所创造;生活在今日我们将欢欣、高兴! "真正令人发疯的不是今日的负担， 而是对昨日的悔恨及对明日的恐惧! 悔恨与恐惧是一对孪生窃贼， 将今天从你我身边偷走!

so stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. in stead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. life must be lived as we go along. the station will come soon enough.

那么就不要在过道里徘徊吧， 别老惦记着你离车站还有多远! 何不换一种活法， 将更多的高山攀爬， 多吃点儿冰淇淋甜甜嘴巴， 经常光着脚板儿溜达溜达， 在更多的河流里畅游， 多看看夕阳西下， 多点欢笑哈哈， 少让泪水滴答! 生活得一边过一边瞧! 车站就会很快到达!

Talking of examinations,I feel that they are one of the important

activities in school life.Since the first day I went to school,I have had to

deal with them almost every day.All through my secondary school days,I have gone

through al kinds of exams,entrance exams,tests,quizzes and so on. I have tasted

the flavour of happiness,sadness and laughter.

Before every exam,there is always a certain time for me to suffer.The world

before me seems to be sad and gloomy.I feel that all my books are

disgusting.During examinations,I am always like a computer.I try hard to squeeze

out every piece of information to answer my questions.A machine has no

feelings,but I am nervous,my heart beats hard.

After the "swesty battle",the world seems to be bright again.A disaster is

over.I become lively again,and begin to discuss every problem with my

classmates.

In many countries in the world, women are looked down upon. It is more

difficult for them to get some work than men. In order to get a job, they

sometimes have to tell a lie. Thats unfair. In fact, women can work no worse

than men. Theres nothing that women cant do.

Perhaps, they are better at their work than men. For example, in making

telephones and computers, many companies would rather employ women, for men

cant pick up the small pieces with their fingers. Like , they can also become

excellent engineers, doctors and teachers. So I am sure the day will come soon

when women can really get equal rights.

When I was in high school, one of my classmates sit right beside me. His

name is ChenLiang. He is my unforgettable person in my life.

I remembered my mathematics was just mediocre at that time, but he was

extraordinary and excellent in calculating and solving mathematic questions. He

often received perfect scores. Of course, I wished I could reach at his level.

Since we talked all day long, I asked how he could solve those difficult

questions. He was so patient and polite to answer my sometimes ridiculous

thinking. Gradually, I built my confidence at mathematics and finally passed the

college entrance exam.

Now, we are apart, but I still remember his great attitude and willing in

study. I am so obliged to my classmate, who is my friend always and forever.

i am a girl who likes thinking alone. i have a nice dream. it"s colourful

like a rainbow.

the dream is about my life in the future. i hope my house can be on an

island with many coconuts.

there are at least ten large rooms in the house. my house also has a

balcony and a garage. i have no orchard but i have a wonderful garden.

there is a fence around my garden. i would like to grow some flowers in it,

like tulips, roses, cannas, morning glories and orchids. i think when spring

comes, there will be many butterflies and bees. in the north of my garden,

there"s a small pond. many goldfish, a few ducks, geese and turtles will live in

it. they are lovely!

there is a lot of happiness in my dream house. do you think so? if so,

please make friends with me quickly. i will tell you more!

Dim lamp, I looked at the cup of tea, boiling water, the impact of time and

time again, let me feel the fragrance of tea. That bitter taste in his mouth, a

point slightly sweet, but also by my greedy mouth to the occupation, and eyes

dim, hazy outlines of the memory, can no longer be hazy memory already.

Work as much as “cook a meal,” a playful little, the teachers serious

“inhibition” the laughter of the Miao, the pressure of the heavy, “created” in

the dreams of us - growing pains. Open the heavy book of memories, that little

thoughts, perhaps tired of back and some memories back.

“At first” arrive, I am a fragile being “enemy” aimed at the

“vulnerability” opened a fierce shot, that vulnerable, I, in the “blood” at the

expense of ground could be a “sleeping inside burning the midnight oil to see

volume, Dreaming rang Beishi ”and I once again stood up. Those days are dark,

puzzled me, and learn and sometimes I have to find a seat has not yet withered

and yellow grass, and sometimes a desk, windowsill side to see the rows of trees

standing in the distance is hard, for the only be able to issue a final touch of

Brilliant Green. What are those trees? I have no way of knowing what effect this

relationship? As long as they are trees, would be sufficient. When I looked at

them a daze, the heart will be a myriad of thoughts, when my eyes back to the

tree when the mood suddenly see the light, the pressure disappeared and instead

engaged in learning among busy.
