给妈妈道歉的一封信英文

全文共 1087 字

+ 加入清单

Dear Mother,

Im really sorry about tonight. It was more than nine o clock in the

evening. I still went to my friends house and got to eleven o clock

I knew something big had happened, so I went over and sat down. My mother

cried and scolded me, saying that I had to go out so late and called all the

people I knew on my mobile phone. I was ashamed and I knew I was wrong, but my

mother asked me to tell me where I had gone and tell her the name of that person

and the method of communication

But I dont want to, because now young people dont like their parents to

worry about them, more dont like their friends to worry about me. I know my

mother is worried about me, but I hope you can put your heart at ease with me

because I have grown up.

I have the ability to distinguish the good and bad things and practices,

but in the eyes of parents, I am always a child mother scold me while crying,

eyes red and tears, my heart is so painful, I really know that I was wrong,

should not let my mother worry.

Mom, dont worry about me any more. I have grown up and have my own

privacy. I hope you can respect me.

I was so excited when i entered the college. For so many years, I worked hard to achieve this dream and finally i made it. Everything seemed fresh and curious to me. I was so pleased that I would enjoy my college life soon.

when i was in high school, I had to study all the time and hardly had spare time to do what i wanted to.Besides, I had to focus on my textbooks and doing exercise again and again. Therefore, I had little time to read magazines and novels and watch TV. what was worse, I couldnt play with my friends a lot, which I couldnt stand the most. In a word, all i did in high shool should be considered for the College Entrance Examination. dedecms.com

However, my college life is totally different from the life in high school.I can arrange my time freely. I spend most of my time reading in the library, where I can open my eyes and broaden my mind.In my free time, I also join some clubs,where i can make a lot of friends of different majors. My teachers in college are so kind and knowledgeable that they not only teach us knowledge but also how to be a person and how to get on with others. In addition, there are more opportunities for me to improve myself.

I believe college life is an important stage in my life. In college, i can learn how to learn by myself, how to get on with others, how to live independently.College provides me with a stage where i can show myself and be myself.

I think its very important and necessary for kids to do some housework at home.

Firstly it is because they just spend too much time doing homework without having any rest. Doing housework not only help them rest but also do some body exercise. Secondly, kids should learn how hard-working their parents are and thus learn to be grateful.

For me, I can do lots of housework. For example, I can do the dishe, I can cook, I can sweep the floor, and I can also water the flowers. Whats more, I can set the table and so on.

我最盼望的日子——春节终于来到了,因为在这喜庆的节日里,我们小孩子有好东西吃,有新衣服穿,有压岁钱花,有小伙伴玩??最让我感到快乐的还是给乡亲们拜年了。

大年初一的三四点钟,我就迫不及待地催爸爸起来了。(我们这里的风俗是新年第一天有家里的男主人放开门鞭和烧团圆饭)好不容易等到喝完团圆茶后,我就找了几个方便袋迫不及待地准备出发了。妈妈开玩笑地说:“家里买了这么多好吃的,还不够你这只馋猫吃的!”唉!老妈,你怎会懂得儿子的心思呢,我这不是给乡亲们拜年,为他们送上新春祝福吗!我一溜烟跑到了村子的西头,与早已等候在那里的小伙伴汇合,便开始给乡亲们拜年了。

我首先来到了李叔叔家,李叔叔是个农民,靠种植大棚蔬菜走上了财富之路。我恭祝他:“新春万事顺!蔬菜长得旺,价格一路长!”乐得李叔叔连忙塞红包,盛情难却,只好收了。我又来到了瓦工张叔叔家,他们一家正在喝茶,我祝他们:“身体健康!万事如意,钱财如砖砌墙,越摞越高!”王阿姨听了合不拢嘴,给了我满满一捧糖果。接着我又来到了杨奶奶家,祝她老人家“身体健康,万寿无疆!越活越精神 ! ”她一高兴竟然笑掉了假牙,我也跟着乐开了怀。就这样,我挨家挨户给乡亲们送上了新春的祝福。我的口袋里塞满了红包,带来的方便袋也都装的满满的。

拜年结束后,我和小伙伴们汇合,一起来到了徐爷爷家,徐爷爷是个老革命战士,他的四个哥哥都在抗日战争中光荣牺牲了,他也因为战争而失去了一条腿,没能成家,今年九十几岁的徐爷爷,孤苦伶仃地瘫坐在床上,我和小伙伴们给他拜完年后,将自己红包里的钱都给了他,一共有两千多元。我们还将袋子里的花生瓜子糖果分了类,放在徐爷爷的床上。徐爷爷感动得热泪盈眶,不住地感谢我们。其实我们才应该感谢徐爷爷这样的老革命战士,没有他们的抛头颅洒热血,哪有我们今天如此安定幸福的生活。

寒假结束了,庆祝春节的活动也接近了尾声,我觉得拜年是我在春节中做的最有意义的一件事。

My most anticipated day —— the Spring Festival finally came, because in this festival, we children have good food to eat, new clothes to wear, lucky money to spend, and little friends to play。 What makes me happy is to give the people a new year。

At the three or four oclock of the first day of the year, I could not wait to hurry Dad up。 Our custom is on the first day of the new year, when the owner of the family opens the door and sells the rice, so I cant wait to finish the reunion tea。 After that, I find several convenient bags and I cant wait to get ready to go。 Mom jokingly said: "the family bought so many delicious, you are not the only cat to eat!" Oh! Mom, how can you understand the mind of the son, I dont give the people a new year to give them a new years blessing! I went to the village of West swiftly, and had been waiting there buddy confluence, began to give folks pay New Years call。

I first came to Uncle Lis house。 Uncle Li was a farmer, and he went on the road of wealth by planting vegetables in the shed。 I wish he: "spring maestro! The vegetables grow well and the price is long! " Uncle Li was hastily stuffed envelopes, shengqingnanque, had received。 I went to the Mason Zhang Shushu home, they are a cup of tea, I wish them good health。 "! Good luck in everything, money such as the brick wall, the more the higher the stack!" Aunt Wang was grinning, gave me a full of candy。 Then I went to Yang grandmother, wish her good health, a long life "! The more alive the more spiritual! " She was happy off teeth, I also follow the music open arms。 In this way, I sent my family from door to door to the people of the new year。 My pocket is full of red envelopes and all the handy bags are full。

After I pay New Years call, and buddies joined together at Home Xu Xu Grandpa, grandpa is an old revolutionary soldier, his four brothers are in the Anti Japanese war in the glorious sacrifice, he also because of the war and lost a leg, could not get married this year, 90 year old Xu Grandpa, lonely and helpless to sit down on the bed, and my buddies to him after, his money gave him a total of two thousand yuan。 We also classified the peanut melon candy in the bag and put it on Grandpa Xus bed。 Grandpa Xu was moved to tears and thanked us。 In fact, we should thank the old revolutionary soldiers such as Grandpa Xu, without their throwing head and blood, which has our life so stable and happy today。

The winter holiday was over, and the celebration of the Spring Festival was close to the end。 I think it was one of the most meaningful things I did during the Spring Festival。

Dear Admission Committee:

Miss Pan Bei requested a letter of recommendation from me to support her application for graduate program at your university. As her teacher, I am pleased to comply with her request.

I first got to know Miss Pan when she enrolled at university and I was the assistant director of her class at that time. Being a professor for several years, I noticed that due to the lack of self-learning ability, it is really challenging for students, even those performing excellent in senior school, to keep up with the college speed. However, as a diligent girl without any solid background in Computer Science before college, she adapted quickly to the especially competitive environment in our department. At the end of the first year, she earned the 5th rank in her class, while ranking 1st among the girls. I was fairly impressed by her self-learning technique and exceptional efforts. Hence, I believe, goal-oriented, not afraid of inchoateness and with persistence, she has the quality to make achievements.

What distinguished her among her classmates, I think, was that she went far beyond acquiring excellent scores in the exams and instead got her range of knowledge enlarged. In spring, 2006, Miss Pan took the course I taught named Algebraic Structures and Combinatorial Mathematics. This inquisitive and assiduous young woman was sometimes the last to leave after my class, raising novel questions related to the subject. I found that she understood the knowledge in depth and detail. Furthermore, I still remember during the spring vocation in May, due to the break-down of my mail box, I missed her mails to discussing some questions. But the following week during the course time, she asked me directly. Her zeal for knowledge and the spirit to explore answers really leave me a deep impression. Finally, she was among the few students who got almost full marks in every test in class which showed her exceeding grasp of every chapter. Thus, I gave her 98/100 for the excellent performance in my course.

In summary, I have every reason to believe that Miss. Pan will make outstanding performance at your university as a graduate. I would appreciate greatly if you give her a favorable consideration. Please feel free to contact me directly if more assistance is needed. Faithfully yours,

Wanling Qu, Professor

Department of Computer Science and technology Peking University

篇20:汤姆叔叔的小屋英文读后感

全文共 3036 字

+ 加入清单

Joy depicts the crisis of faith that overes Rabbi Banish of Komarov, who, having buried his four sons and two daughters. Only through the mercy of the God he has denied, manifest in a radiant vision of the dead Rebecca, his beloved youngest daughter, is the rabbi’s belief restored. The sense of wonder and the touch of heavenly joy that linger after the vision dissolves convince Rabbi Banish of the folly of judging God’s actions by human standards. The rabbi has interpreted the apparent tragedy of his children’s premature deaths as evidence of God’s alienation, forgetting that God is by definition inscrutable. That God’s purpose transcends man’s ability to prehend it is made clear to the expiring rabbi when the family dead approach his deathbed with arms outstretched to enfold him among them. For theirs is the kingdom of heaven to which a loving God has called them; and their deaths have evidenced not God’s wrath but his grace.

A version of Rabbi Banish’s deathbed revelation appears to Rabbi Nechemia in Something Is There. At twenty-seven he is already racked by the doubts that torment Rabbi Banish. So shaken is his belief in God that he deserts his rabbinical post in provincial Bechev for the flesh-posts of Warsaw. Although the prostitutes, unclean food, and shady business dealings which he witnesses there hold no attraction for the erstwhile rabbi, they intensify his revulsion from the world created by God and therefore his alienation from God himself. Unlike Rabbi Bainish, whose intimations of immortality and consequent rededication to God precede his radiant deathbed vision, Rabbi Nechemia cannot allay his doubts until the very moment of death, when a light he never knew was there flickered in hid brain.

While his dying words—something is there—resolve his crisis of faith, they e too late to affect the spiritual renewal attained by Rabbi Banish. No explicit promise of immortality, let along of salvation, attends Rabbi Nechemia’s vision. Perhaps grace is accorded Rabbi Banish because his doubt is triggered by devastating personal losses, and withheld from Rabbi Nechemia because his despair is the bitter fruit of idle speculation about the unknown. Whatever the reason, relatively few of Singer’s characters are granted at the moment of death the transcendent vision of unity between man and God that appears to Rabbi Banish in Joy. For the fortunate few, release from time into eternity is affected by a divine visitation which obliterates distinctions between past and present, living and dead.

These kinds of characters are lost in their world because of the seducement of the material world. They doubt their formal faith and gradually give up what they believed. But after they have experienced so much hardship, they realize that they cannot adapt to the life of the outer world so they regress to the former life with formal faith. They realize the importance of God and they begin to think seriously about the relationship between man and God. At last they find their right way of their life.
