我的暑假英语作文二年级【经典20篇】

Boys and girls, do you understand how much environmental knowledge, know? Protecting the environment is the human consciously protect natural resources and make them get reasonable use, to prevent the pollution of natural environment and damage. Now, the earth environment gradually destroyed. Because there are many environmental destruction, someone for reason, there are natural causes. But most people are deforestation, litter and other factors.

As far as I know from the Internet, 30 years from 1950 to 1950, more than half of the worlds forests have been destroyed, one half of the forest land into desert in Africa. Green vegetation is present in the human nature of "being" of life. World the 50 years after the 20th century, however, damage to people and animals live in green environment, green vegetation is in a recession, the global soil loss to increase to 25.4 billion tonnes a year, desertification, soil is at an annual rate of 5 to 7 square kilometers expanded rapidly.

In 1998, through China the earth in the Yangtze river, the songhua river, such as large rivers, lost the past gentle beautiful smiling face, out of ferocious ferocious terror. Raging storms, the roaring river, rolled up the flood peak, and again engulfed entire villages, pieces of land, cities and counties, each factory, a school... Oh my god, this is what a loss!

In recent years, because humans cut down trees, also damage the environment, make the vegetation destroyed, causing the phenomenon of land desertification, soil erosion, etc. Trees also gradually reduce, then, to absorb carbon dioxide, large amounts of carbon dioxide make the air become warm, creates the world present situation: the greenhouse effect.

Campus is always has a beautiful scenery, now everyone dont protect the environment, it makes our environment destruction. Look at the corner of the street is filled with plastic bags, cigarette butts. On the flower beds in the neighborhood is filled with dirt, we should protect everything we have good resources. I have people here dont protect environment under the condition of reverie: one day, the tree my grandfather in the beautiful scenery in a rest, suddenly to a few people, to prepare for a picnic here. Not for a moment here a beautiful environment becomes dirty, but this a few people or ignored. "The men finally walked" the tree grandpa sad cried, alas! The men got the cigarette butts on the grass, the ground filled with plastic bags, bottle. A few days later the tree grandpa dyspnea died because of bad environment.

同学们，环保知识你们了解多少，知道多少?保护环境是人类有意识地保护自然资源并使其得到合理的利用，防止自然环境受到污染和破坏。现在，地球上环境逐渐遭到破坏。环境遭破坏的原因有许多，有人为原因，也有自然原因。不过大多数是人们乱砍乱伐，乱扔垃圾等因素。

据我从网上了解，自1950年到1980年30年间，全世界有一半以上的森林面积被毁，其中非洲的二分之一林地变成不毛之地。绿色植被是大自然赠于人类的“生命之被”。可是，世界进入20世纪50年之后，人和动物赖以生存的绿色环境遭到破坏，绿色植被正在衰退，全球土壤失量现以增加到每年254亿吨，沙漠化土壤正以每年5-7万平方公里的速度迅速扩展。

1998年时，流经中国大地的长江、松花江等大江大河，失去了往日温柔美丽的笑脸，露出了凶猛恐怖的狰狞。肆虐的暴雨，咆哮的江水，卷起了一次次洪峰，吞噬了一个个村庄，一片片田地，一个个市县，一座座工厂，一所所学校……天哪，这是多么大的损失啊!

近几年，也因为人类大量砍伐树木、破坏环境，使植被遭到破坏，造成了土地沙漠化、水土流失等现象。树木也渐渐减少，于是，二氧化碳无法吸收，大量的二氧化碳使空气变得温暖，就造成了世界上目前出现的状况：温室效应。

园里都总有一处美丽的风景，可现在大家都不保护环境，这才使我们的环境遭受破坏。你看街道上的角落到处都有塑料袋，烟头。小区里的花坛上到处都有脏东西，我们应该保护好我们现在所拥有的一切美好资源。我就在这人们不保护环境的情况下遐想：一天，大树爷爷在一处美丽的风景休息，突然来了几个人，准备在这里野餐。没一会儿这里美丽的环境一下变得脏兮兮了，但这几个人还是置之不理。“这几个人终于走了”大树爷爷悲哀的叫着，唉!那几个人把小草上弄上了烟头，地上掉满塑料袋，瓶子。没过几天大树爷爷因环境不好呼吸困难死去了。

Times flys. My summer holiday is coming to the end. My holiday is just so so. It isnot too much difference as before. At the biginning of the vacation, I was doing my homework. After all, study comes first. After I finished my homework, it was almost the end of July. It is the time for me to help my family for harvest. It is so tired to to the farm work. Howevr, being a member of our family, I have to give a hand. Watching the achievement, I felt proud though I just help a little. After finished the farm work, I found myself become much more tan. Who cares! It was my happy time, when I finished all the things. I went out with my friends almost everyday. Sometimes we played games or sport or went hiking. Sometimes we went shopping in the evening for the sun is too heavy in the daytime. We felt uncomfortable. But now there are two days left before the school opening time. So I have to stay at home for a good rest to store energy for my study. Everything is so perfect. It is 11 o’clock. I think I have to say good ninght now.

时间飞逝。我的暑假就要结束了。我的假期一般般。在假期一开始的时候，我写家庭作业。毕竟，学习是最重要的嘛。我做完作业后，几乎到了七月底了。是时候帮助家人收获了。干农活是如此的累。然而，作为家庭的一员，我不得不帮忙。虽然我只是帮了一点点，但是看着那些成果我感到很骄傲。干完农活后，我发现自己变得更黑了。不过，谁在乎呢。当我完成了所有的事情就是我的快乐时光。我几乎每天都和我的朋友出去玩。有时我们玩游戏或运动或去爬山。有时我们晚上出去购物，因为白天太阳太烈了。我们觉得难受。但现在离开学还有两天的时间。所以我必须呆在家里为学习养精蓄锐。一切都是那么的美好。现在已经十一点了。我想是该说晚安的时候了。

地球是我们的家园，我们应该保护地球。现在有的地区已经出现了泥石流、台风、森林火灾、小河污染、臭氧层破坏、空气污染……我们已经不断遭受来自大自然的惩罚。

The earth is our home, we should protect the earth. Now in some areas there have been landslides, typhoons, forest fire, river pollution, destruction of the ozone layer, air pollution...... We have to continue to suffer from the nature of the punishment.

我们怎样才能保护我们的家园呢?我们要多种树，不乱砍伐树木，不乱扔垃圾，讲究卫生，保持校园干净。多种花草，节约用水，保护动物，不破坏水源……我们还要说道做到。我们要让为来的生活变成水源丰富，绿树成荫，没有沙漠，没有天灾，海底物产多，草坪面积更大……让我们的环境变美、变净、变绿，环境更优美。

How can we protect our homeland? We should plant more trees, do not indiscriminate felling of trees, do not throw garbage, pay attention to health, to keep the campus clean. A variety of flowers and plants, water conservation, protection of animal, no damage to water...... Said we must do. We want to become rich in water resources, living trees, no desert, no disaster, marine products, lawn area larger...... Let us change the environment, change the net, greener, more beautiful environment.

保护环境，人人有责!只有我们每个人都奉献出自己的一点点环保，就能使明天的家园变得更加美丽。

Protect environment, everyones responsibility! Only when each of us to give a bit of environmental protection themselves, can make the home more beautiful tomorrow.

妈妈爱我们,我们也爱我们的母亲。

转眼间暑假又来到了，我要利用这个宝贵的暑假好好补习，因为我这次期末考试考得很不好，为了让这个暑假过得既充实又有意义又快乐，做到劳逸结合，我特制定了暑假生活及学习计划。

除了这些，我还帮助邻居家的孩子做功课。我帮他们读英语，使他们的口语有所提高。他们的父母为此很感激我。

暑假里，爸爸妈妈带我到孤山去玩了!

到了那里，我看到西湖里有许多粉色的荷花。荷叶圆圆的浮在水面上，几多美丽的花和几支喇叭形的莲子把西湖装扮的更加迷人!妈妈笑着说：“这就叫出污泥而不染。”

我们在孤山上看到了一只全身长着小刺的虫子，爸爸告诉我这种虫子身上的小刺是有毒的，人如果碰到它，皮肤上就会长出许多小泡，千万不能碰它!

我们又到了吴昌硕纪念馆，看到他的许多作品，尤其是他的国画。他画的鸟在飞，鱼在游，花在开放，每幅画里的东西都跟真的一样，栩栩如生!我在想，要是我能画得这么好，就必须付出更加多的汗水和努力，加油!

During my stay in bed, they took good care of me and cheered me up. Meanwhile, they helped me with my lessons. With their help, I caught up with my classmates. Now I’ll try my best to study well to repay my parents.

在暑假生活中，我觉得利用暑假生活期间，学习是最有趣的事情。学习是有竞争性的学习，在我们学习生活中，掌握知识是最佳重要的，知识是无极限的。

暑假生活开始了，学习是我最主要是事情，我先把初一年的知识复习好，再把书本上的课后练习做好，做完后再把作业拿给叔叔看，是不是全部都做对了，如果做错了就再拿回来改。一直到全部都做对为止。接着就是开始学习一些初二年的知识，以便更好的利用知识，把知识学好。

朋友们，现在就把你手中的笔拿起来吧!把你觉得最有趣的事情讲出来，写下来吧!!

暑假过去了，回想起暑假生活，觉得十分开心，其中一件事，对我很难忘记。

在暑假中的一天。我和妈妈一起包饺子。妈妈把肉馅和面做好后，开始教我包饺子。妈妈给我做完示范后，我学着妈妈的样子，拿起一张饺子皮，轻轻地把肉馅放在饺子皮中间，然后把饺子皮捏紧，再把手一对，向下使劲一捏，这样，一个饺子就包好了。但是我发现，刚被我包好的饺子就像一个打了败仗的士兵一样，耸拉着头，无精打采。可并没有使我灰心，我又拿起一张饺子皮，按照同样的方法，往里放肉馅，使劲一捏，又一个饺子包好了。这次，我包的的饺子并没有像打了败仗的士兵一样耸拉着头，而是一只雄鸡一样，高傲地挺着头。

快乐地暑假生活，让我学会了包饺子。

Summer can be very hot in southern xx 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.

低碳生活是一种环保、节约又时尚的生活方式。节电、节水、节油、节气可以帮助我们将低碳生活变成现实。

目前，我们的地球母亲正在“发烧”——地球变暖。而导致这次地球母亲染上这“病”的罪魁祸首就是巨大的碳排放量。不过，要治“病”也不是没有办法的。如今，低碳时代已经如约而至，正在改变着我们的生活。

其实，低碳就在我们的身边。比如：夏天，我们用空调不要用太长时间，几个小时后就关上空调，再开电风扇，这样可以省50%的电;在冰箱内放食物时，食物量最好占容积的80%，用袋子装上水制冷后放入冷藏，这样，既能延长停机时间，也能减少开机时间，更省电;经过手工DIY的再创造，你会发现原来废物也是宝，这样的家居环境健康且充满了创意的小欢乐。

平时勤动手，勤动脑，也可以实现低碳生活。平时喝茶剩下的茶叶积攒起来，可以做一个茶叶枕头;用短的铅笔，做一个笔套，套在上面，可以接着用;用肥皂剩下的小肥皂，日积月累，也能成一个肥皂。

另外，平时出行尽量步行，多骑自行车，多乘坐公交车和地铁，少开私家车;少用一次性的东西;开电脑或是电视的时间都不要太长，大约几小时就关掉。

I have rested for 10 days. In these days, I felt very bored. I didn’t know to do what. Although I had a lot of things to do, I felt uncomfortable. I was ill because of the hot weather.

So when I went out, the high temperature disagreed to me.At last, I was ill.

翻译：

我已经休息了10天。在这些日子里，我觉得很无聊。我不知道做什么。虽然我有很多事情要做，我觉得不舒服。我生病是因为炎热的天气。我累了，困，也没有力量。我的父母担心我的健康。事实上，这并不重要。我总是在房间空调打开了它在低温。因此，当我走了出去，高温不给我.在最后，我被虐待。

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.
