我的爱好很多很多，但我最喜欢读书。

I love a lot, but I most like reading.

我有一个大书房，房间里第一眼看到的就是书，书房里最显眼的也是我的书。只要有一本书，我就能从喧闹的环境中走出来，所以我的书房是宁静的。要是周末的话，其中九个小时我都会选择看书。为了不让他人打搅自己，我常常在门上贴着“闲人免进”的牌子。书的吸引力实在是太大了，它让我成了“小书虫”。

The night before Christmas, people are bringing a sleeping quietly under the moonlight, the earth, on a quiet, they are waiting, waiting for the arrival of the new year.

See, thats who, a boy. He quietly sat in the window, watching the moon, seemed to be waiting for someone, but he was waiting for whom? Now, who else would come? I was somewhat puzzled by his behavior. But he is still sitting in the window waiting for, but sometimes look back at the clock

又是一个雾霾天气，能见度不足以百米。无论是车辆还是行人都在摸索前行，没有了嬉笑，也无了鸟鸣，在这样的环境里，有的只是刺鼻的气味和满目的昏暗。

雾，原本似轻烟，如薄纱，似纱巾笼罩着大地。古往今来，它曾让多少文人墨客为之陶醉，为之倾倒。而今与这美丽的雾貌似有着一丝关系的雾霾，又犯下了什么滔天大罪?

雾霾，看似与雾有“血缘关系”，但它却和雾截然不同。雾，是由浮游在空中的小水滴或冰晶组成的水汽凝结物。有时雾出预报晴，有时雾出预报雨，似乎混乱不堪，但是只要掌握了辐射雾、平流雾的特征，多方观察，仔细分析，就能准确地抓住雾与天晴、落雨的规律，以便预测天气。这对于农业、交通、航天、航海都有用处。 而雾霾就不一样了，它是由空气中的灰尘、硫酸、硝酸、有机碳氢化合物等粒子所组成的小灰粒。

When July comes, it is the hottest time of the whole summer. Many of my

friends have chosen to travel to the cool place, so as to avoid the stuffy air.

As for me, I dont like to travel in this hot weather. I just want to stay

indoors and enjoy the quiet moment. I like to sit near the window, watching

outside scenery. Sometimes I will read some books, enjoy the novel and make

myself lost in the fiction world. The things I like to do most is to find a

coffee shop and then choose a table that is near the window, so that I can see

all the situation. I will bring my computer and then play the computer for the

whole afternoon. It is what I like to do in the summer. I enjoy it.

From the golden-tipped fields of mid-west america to the ancient kingdoms of verdant palestine, there is a happy truth to be shared with all who would take heed. in more recent times, this truth has been expressed as: april showers bring may flowers. this is a truth that promises light bursting from darkness, strength born from weakness and, if one dares to believe, life emerging from death.

从美国中西部金色的田野，到巴勒斯坦嫩绿色的古老疆土，那些留心观察的人共享着同一个快乐真理。近来这一真理被阐述为：四月的雨带来五月的花。这一真理预示光明会从黑暗中迸发;刚强生自软弱;如果你敢确信，生命会从死亡中萌发!

farmers all over the world know the importance and immutability of the seasons. they know that there is a season to plant and a season to harvest; everything must be done in its own time. although the rain pours down with the utmost relentlessness, ceasing all outdoor activities, the man of the field lifts his face to the heavens and smiles. despite the inconvenience, he knows that the rain provides the nourishment his crops need to grow and flourish. the torrential rains in the month of april, give rise to the glorious flowers in the month of may.

全世界的农民们都明白季节的重要性和永恒性。他们知道在哪个季节播种，哪个季节收获，每件事都必须应时而做!虽然暴雨无情地倾盆而下，迫使所有的户外劳作停止，但土地的主人会仰天微笑。尽管有诸多不便，但是他知道，雨会为他的庄稼带来繁茂生长所需的营养。四月里的豪雨，会带来五月里的繁花似锦。

but this ancient truth applies to more than the crops of the fields; it is an invaluable message of hope to all who experience tragedy in life. a dashed relationship with one can open up the door to a brand new friendship with another. a lost job here can provide the opportunity for a better job there. a broken dream can become the foundation of a wonderful future. everything has its place.

但是这一古老真理并不只适用于田里的庄稼，它还是那些正经历着人生磨难的人的无限希冀：一段友谊的受挫会开启另一段崭新友谊的大门;此处失去的工作会提供彼处更好的工作机会;一个梦想的破灭会成为美好未来的基石。万物皆有道!

remember this: overwhelming darkness may endure for a night, but it will never overcome the radiant light of the morning. when you are in a season of sorrow, hang in there, because a season of joy may be just around the corner…

请谨记：势不可挡的黑暗或有一晚，但它永远无法阻挡清晨的万丈光芒!当你正处于悲伤之季，请坚持住，因为欢乐的季节也许马上就会到来……

Environmental protection is every one of us to do, make the responsibility of each of us, once you live in the earth, you have to protect the environment, because we want for our children and grandchildren, give them a good living environment, and not to harm the environment and harm to our children and grandchildren.

Its our duty to protect the environment, and some people said: this is an important task, we are a little, it should give the big man to do, we have to do is not to undermine. Many people agree that in the face of this statement, and the I will against it. In fact, environmental protection is more than a great thing, or do we all the citizens of these things, and they will go to the governance, we control our things, mind your own affairs, because environmental protection from a small one.

Environmental protection is a small matter, dont throw a piece of junk, dont chop down a tree, not a one-time items... Maybe, you have the conditions, is a piece of junk, recycling plant a tree, with an item again... This is to protect the environment, is so simple, need not you do more difficult things, environmental protection is just as simple as that.

环保是我们每个人要做的事情，使我们每个人的责任，你一旦生活在地球，你就要保护环境，因为我们要为我们的子孙后代着想，给他们一个好的身活环境，而不是去破坏环境，危害我们的子孙。

保护环境是我们的责任，而有的人却说：这是一个重任，我们是个小人物，这应该给大人物去办，我们不破坏就行了。面对这种说法，很多人都同意，而我就反对。其实，环保不止是大人物的事情，还是我们这些市民的事情，而他们就去治理大事，我们就治理我们的事情，管好自己的小事，因为环保是从一件小事做起的。

保护环境其实是一件小事，不扔一件垃圾、不砍一棵树、不用一次性用品……也许，你有条件的话，就回收一件垃圾、种一棵树、再次用一件物品……这都是保护环境的行为，就是如此简单，不用你做更难的事情了，环保只是这么简单。

If your life feels like it is lacking the power that you want and the

motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of

view.

By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things,

you are more likely to have the incentive to follow through on your goals. You

are less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your

performance.

Your life can be enhanced, and your happiness enriched, when you

choose to change your perspective. Dont leave your future to chance, or wait

for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction

of your hopes and aspirations. Begin to build your confidence, and work through

problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not necessarily control

over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way.

Always

believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons

that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust; learn to

rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your "worry hours" into "productive hours".

Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile

effort that you can be involved in. You will see beautiful things happen when

you allow yourself to experience the joys of life. You will find happiness when

you addopt positive thinking into your daily routine and make it an important

part of your world.

Iraq is a part of the Middle East next to Iran & Kuwait. It is very

important to the rest of the world because of its underground petroleum

fields.

It is said that oil is industrial blood and for this reason perhaps the war

started.

On September 11,2001,the Twin Towers in New York as well as parts of the

Pentagon were destroyed by an airplane planned by terrorists, which made George

Bush declared to fight the country’s enemies.It was said that Iraq still

possessed many weapons of mass destruction and weapon inspectors were sent to

the country by the UN to find the clues.Though no evidence was found, America

still wanted to go to war with Iraq and the main target is Sadam Hussein. The

war was just like the quiet battle between France and China in 1800s.It was said

that a relation of Sadam betrayed him.

I think war is not just a matter of two persons or two-family fight. It is

related to so many victims’ inrerests . As a leader, one must always think for

al

the people, so will his country be prosperous for always.

Life is a struggle. I shall never forget the most striking part of Henry

Wadsworth Longfellow s poem -- A Psalm of Life: "In the worlds blood field of

battle, In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in

the strife!"

Ludwig van Beethoven was a typical "hero in the strife". He was not only

one of the greatest composers, but also one of the most persevering men. As a

deaf man, he went on working with his strong will in the last year of his life,

though he was not able to hear his own fine and original music. Another example

of persistence in struggle is Deng Yaping. She once said that her technique came

from continuous training, emphasizing the importance of daily practice to a

player.

As a student, I seem to be in a boat sailiug against the current. I must

make an effort to forge ahead. A little carelessness will result in being driven

back. Indeed, learning is a struggle against idleness and carelessness.

Following the examples of Ludwig van Beethoven and Deng Yaping, I shall take

great pains to urge myself on, moving steadily forward like a heroic boatman in

the rough sea of knowledge.

Christmas Day-December 25-which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the founder of the Christian religion, is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the Christian World.

According to the Bible, the holy book of Christians, God decided to allow his only son, Jesus Christ, to be born to a human mother and live on earth so that people could understand God better and learn to love God and each other more. "Christmas"- meaning "celebration of Christ "- honors the time when Jesus was born to a young Jewish woman Mary.

Mary was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter, but before they came together, she was found to be with child. Because Joseph, her husband, was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."

Although the exact date of the birth of Jesus nearly 2,000 years ago is not known, the calendar on the supposed date divides all time into B.C. (Before Christ )and A.D. ( a Latin phrase, Anno Domini, "in the year of our Lord.") For the first 300 years, Jesus birthday was celebrated on different dates. Finally, in the year 354, church leaders chose December 25 as his birthday.

With the development of e-commerce, shopping online becomes a new way of shopping which is getting more and more popular. Many citizens are likely to shop through internet nowadays.

随着电子商务的发展，网上购物成为一种新的购物方式，越来越受欢迎。许多市民可能现在通过网上商店。

Generally speaking, shopping online offers lots of advantages with its convenience the most prominent. There are many commodities on the internet where you can search whatever you want. Besides, you just click the mouse can you get all information you want, so that you don’t have to go to the shop personally. In addtition, the commodities on the Internet is usually cheaper than the stores which can save much money.

一般来说，网上购物提供了方便，最突出的优点。网络上有很多的商品，在那里你可以搜索你想要的任何东西。此外，你只需点击一下鼠标就可以得到你想要的所有信息，所以你不必亲自去商店。另外，在互联网上的商品比能节省多少钱一般商店便宜。

However, everything has two sides. You can not see the products or check their qualities and some of the sellers on the Internet is not so honest. And, for those who enjoys shopping around different stores, shopping online perhaps will make them boring.

然而，任何事物都有两面性。你不能看到产品或检查他们的品质和互联网上的一些卖家不诚实。并且，对于那些喜欢在不同的商店购物，网上购物可能会让他们无聊。

In my opinion, shopping online has more advantages than disadvantages, and with the improvement of e-commerce, there will be more people to shop on the Internet.

在我看来，网上购物的利大于弊，而且随着电子商务的发展，将会有更多的人在网上购物。

If I were a boy again, I would practice perseverance more often, and never

give up a thing because it was or inconvenient. if we want light, we must

conquer darkness. perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. “there

are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids—the

eagle and the snail.”

if i were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention; i

would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. i would remember that

a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once.the habit of

attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough. i often hear grown

up people say “ i could not fix my attention on the sermon or book, although I

wished to do so” , and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.

if I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the

cultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possible

means, and on every possible occasion. it takes a little hard work at first to

remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little

trouble. it only needs early cultivation to become a power.

I can always hear the news of education innovation after I go to school,

and many teachers are talking about the importance of extra-curricular activity,

which is believed to bring more creativity and vitality to the class. Actually,

the traditional class pays much attention to the knowledge from the books all

the time, which is easy to let students feel bored. As a result, every student

is so excited about the PE class, because they can enjoy freedom and play for

fun. Extra-curricular activity provides students a different way to broaden

their vision and inspire their creativity. Students feel relaxed and can think

in the active way. Many great people got their idea from the nature, so if the

teachers want to improve students interest, the good learning environment

should not be limited in the classroom.

I was born in an ordinary family, but the love my parents gave me made me

feel that I was the happiest girl in the world. Before I went to middle school,

my parents decided to let me live in the hometown, where I spent the good time.

I was surrounded by green trees and clean water. Every day, I would play funny

games with my friends. When I went to middle school, I left hometown and moved

to the city to live with my parents. I needed to focus my attention to study.

Every night, my father would check my homework and if I had questions, he would

help me to solve them. My mother always made delicious dessert for us. When I

finished homework, we ate them together and talked happily. I had the good time

of my childhood.

Someone asks me what on earth happiness means? I cant give you the exact

definition of it, but Im sure if you love and help others, youll get it.

Ill never forget an old lady. She lives in a small house alone. Its said

that her husband and her son died in a traffic accident. How bitter her life

is!But the old lady often helps others with a smile. Whenever it snows, she is

always the first to clean the paths. She looks after several children living

nearby. I am one of them. I often remember the stories she told us and her kind

smile. Perhaps she is unlucky, but I think she is a happy person. Her life is

full of laughter and love.

But Im sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad ways.They

speak loudly in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy trees to enjoy

themselves and they laugh at others shortcomings. Perhaps they feel happy at

that time, but they will never get true happiness because they have lost their

personality.

Now I know what happiness is. It means kindness, love and unselfishness.

Above all, only bringing happiness to others can make you yourself get it.

导语：尊敬老人一直是中华民族的传统美德，我们要多多照顾他们，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

In the picture, an old man is sitting in the wheelchair, and a dog is serving him with milk and food. Ironically, it is the dog that takes the responsibility to attend the old man. We cannot help wondering where the old man’s grown up children are. It is they not the dog who should take good care of their old father.

The implied meaning of the picture is really provoking. It is quite true that in our society there are some grown-up children who treat their old parents badly. When their old parents are too old to take care of themselves, they often view them as a “burden” of their family life. They refuse either to support their aging parents financially or to look after them. No doubt, this immoral behavior of these grown-up children’s should be subject to social condemnation.

To respect the old has long been a traditional virtue of the Chinese people. We should always bear in mind that we are much indebted to our parents in that they not only gave us life but have done much to bringing us up. It is against conscience to escape from the responsibility to take care of our parents. Rather, we should pay back for the love and care of our parents by making their later years happy and enjoyable.

【参考译文】

在这幅画中，有一位老人坐在轮椅上, 一只狗正在给他送牛奶和食物。具有讽刺意义的是，是狗在承担待候老人的责职。我们不禁要发问老人的成年子女在哪里?好好照顾年迈的父亲应该是他们而不是狗。

这幅画的寓意真是发人深省。确实，在我们的社会里有些成年子女不能善待老父母。当老父年迈不能照顾自己时，他们经常把父母看作家庭生活的负担，不愿在经济上赡养或生活上照料老人。毫无疑问，成年子女这种不道德的行为应受到社会的谴责。

尊敬老人一直是中华民族的传统美德。我们应该永远牢记：我们应该对父母感恩，因为父母不仅给了我们生命，而且为抚育我们长大为我们付出了太多太多。逃避照顾的责任父母是违背良心的。我们应该让他们晚年生活快乐，回报他们对我们的关爱。
