高中英语作文我的暑假计划【汇编20篇】

Some people like to work alone while others enjoy teamwork. In my opinion,

everyone had better learn to work with others together because teamwork is

definitely necessary and important in modern society.

First, working in a team provides a chance for us to communicate with each

other. Just as the saying goes, “many hands make light job.” Working in a team,

teammates share their ideas with each other, which is helpful to create a better

achievement. Second, working in a team is a way to broaden our horizon.

Teammates in a team can learn something from each other because they are from

different places, owning various experiences and hold different views towards

things. Therefore, getting along with other teammates is also a process of

increasing our knowledge. Finally, working in a team is also a way to establish

our friendship. Teammates in a team have chances to help each other, to solve

the problems together, to share the happiness of being successful, which make a

great contribution to establishing friendship. Thus, working in a team is one of

the most effective ways to extend our personal relationships.

To sum up, to learn to work in a team is really necessary and important and

we should try to enjoy it.

暑假非常的漫长，于是，我想制作一个属于我的暑假计划。

我的计划是：星期一~星期五每天8点准时起床，写两个小时的作业，玩三十分钟，看三十分钟电视，中午再睡一会儿午觉。星期六~星期日上午写一个小时的作业，再看一会儿电视，下午去妈妈给我报的课外班。   到了七月的时候，爸爸要从外地回来，和他的大学朋友去聚餐。于是，我们一家三口人准备到首都北京去旅游一个星期。因此，我一直在盼望着爸爸赶快回来，好带我去北京玩一圈。

到了八月的时候，妈妈准备给我报几个课外班。于是，我又要每天到课外班上课了，所以，我得赶快把暑假作业写完才行。

这就是我的暑假计划，在妈妈的监督下和自己的执行，我一定能够把这个暑假过得丰富而精彩。小朋友，你的暑假计划是什么呢？

Summer vacation is very long, so I want to make a summer vacation plan that belongs to me.

My plan is to get up at 8 am on Monday ~ Friday, write two hours of homework, play 30 minutes, watch 30 minutes of TV, and take a nap at noon. Saturday ~ Sunday morning write an hour of homework, watch TV for a while, and go to my mothers after-school class in the afternoon.

By July, dad will be back from the field and have a potluck with his college friends. So our family of three are going to Beijing for a week. So Ive been looking forward to my dad coming back and taking me to Beijing for a tour.

By August, my mother is going to give me a few extracurricular classes. So, I have to go to class again every day, so I have to hurry up and finish my homework.

This is my summer vacation plan, under the supervision of my mother and my own execution, I must be able to make this summer rich and wonderful. What are your plans for the summer vacation?

the longing summer vacation is approaching, it is the best part of the school year for me. i cannot let the holidays elapse (逝去) meaninglessly, my vacation should be a phase (时期、阶段) of harvest. the events in my plan should give me a sense of infinite potential.

the following plan may reveal the intensity of my desire to travel, work and study in this vacation. in the first few days i want to climb mount hua shan with several friends to refresh ourselves. then i tend to visit relatives, senior school teachers and former classmates(老同学). besides, to find out the best ways to cultivate my abilities, i will find a part time job and conduct some social investigation.

World Environment Day is started from 1972, which is established by the United Nations General Assembly for raising global awareness to take actions to protect the Nature. The establishment of World Environment Day shows people’s the cognition and the attitude to the environmental problem, and expresses our human beings’ desire of pursuing the better environment. Every year the United Nations Environment Program proposes a theme, and the 2014 theme of this day will focus on ‘Small Island and Climate change’ and the slogan is “Raise Your Voice Not the Sea Level”.

世界环境日，起始于1972年，它是联合国为了提高全球的环保意识而创建的。环境日的创立展现了人们对环境问题的认识和态度，表达了人们对美好环境的追求渴望。每一年联合国环境规划署都会提出一个环境日主题，而的主题主要着重于小岛屿与气候变化，今年的口号是“提高你的呼声，而不是海平面”。

World Environment Day can be celebrated in lots of ways, for instances, planting trees, doing some recycling, participating the clean-up campaigns and so on. Certainly people can also do something simple, like going to work by bus instead of private cars. I believe if everyone takes environmental actions as a habit, we are doing a big difference for the better environment.庆祝世界环境日的方式多种多样，例如植树，对废物进行循环利用，参加清洁行动等等。

当然，人们也可以做些简单的小事来纪念，比如说不做私家车上班，改乘公交车去上班。我相信只要大家都将这些环保小事当作习惯，我们将会为建造美好环境做出重大贡献。

My holiday life was busy but wonderful.I got up at 7:00 every day.I did my homework in the morning so that I could finish my homework on time.I sometimes went shopping with my mother in the afternoon.But most of the time I did sports in the afternoon,such as,swimming,playing football,playing table tennins,going out for a walk and so on.I also went to Beidaihe with my parents and we spent three days there.I visited my grandparents and stayed there for a week.I read books,went to the movies,surfed the internet ,went to the library and visited my friends.I also helped my parents do the housework.Whats more,I went to a tennis couse and learnt how to play tennis.So my summer holiday life was very intesting.

How to Live in Harmony with your Roommates?Everyone has his answer.In my opinion,to Live in Harmony with your Roommates,one should:

Firstly, keep the same pace with roommates. There are usually four people or more in a room. It’s better to have a unified schedule. To maintain the order of the life, everyone should coordinate and abide by the schedule to reduce the disputes.

Secondly, don’t make little “squads” in the dormitory. You should treat every person equally rather than discriminating or isolating someone. We object to establish deep friendship under the cost of sacrificing the friendship’s width and breadth. It’s important to keep balance in the dormitory.

Thirdly, dont invade your roommates privacy. Everyone has their own secrets and eccentricities. We should not search roommates privacy. If someone has clearly made a field private, they must have special sensitive to this field and any subject attempting to break into this field will not be appreciated by them.

Fourthly, participate in dormitory’s collective activities actively. The activities of the dormitory is not only a simple activity, but also a way to contact with each other to share feelings. Dont be naive to think collective activity as boring and useless action which wastes time and money, and showing a pair of disparaging appearance for company. In fact, its all emotional investment, and indispensable.

Fifth, provide help and ask for help. Good roommate relationships is based on mutual help. When roommates meet with difficulties, we should voluntarily help. That’s obvious. So, when we have some trouble, is it appropriate to ask help from roommates? The answer is yes. Because sometimes asking for help show that you trust your roommates, which can deepen your relationship.

Thus, my dear friends, do not fear competition. Accept it and enjoy it. With competition, you grow stronger, and you gain so much precious experience worth remembering of, regardless of what the outcome would be. Without competition, you cease to grow; you become a dead moth sealed in its own cocoon.

Competition is a common phenomenon in our society . We compete when we play games, we try to do better than others in our study, and there is constant competition for jobs, fame, wealth and so forth. Therefore,we can say that, in a certain sense, competition is one of the motive forces of the development of our modern society.

It is often believed, that competition and cooperation are in opposition to each other. Some people stress competition, without which, in their eyes, there is no responsibility, no drive and ultimately, no progress. Others advocate cooperation whatever they do. They are of the opinion that the dependence of people on one another has increased, without which the society we live in can not keep going smoothly. In reality, we find that in many cases competition goes hand in hand with cooperation. Lets take a football game for example. During the game, one team is competing against the other, but each member of the team must cooperate with his teammates. Otherwise, they would lose the game no matter how skillful each individual player might be. It is clear that competition has much to do with cooperation.

As far as Im concerned, I do not agree with the view that competition and cooperation are always in conflict with each other. In my opinion, while advocating competition, we should never forget cooperation. In our social life, cooperation is especially necessary because most work is fulfilled with or through other people. So Ive come to the conclusion that competition are equally important.

今年暑假，我游了厦门，旅行让我快乐无比，那是一段十分快乐的`时光。阳光逼人，厦门的夏天可比杭州这只大火炉凉快得多了。站在海边，一阵阵海风吹来，让人心旷神怡。鼓浪屿上有许许多多的美食美景，从海边向鼓浪屿看，民族英雄郑成功的雕像巍然屹立在岛上，目光炯炯，向台湾方向眺望。站在日光岩上可以观看厦门的全貌，百鸟园的鸟表演更是好玩，龙头路上，美食多多：有烤鱿鱼，林氏鱼丸，烤鱼肉，油炸章鱼须……香气四溢，让人口水直流。

欣赏完美景之后，我要去海里游泳了。

因为不会游泳，我租了一个救生圈向大海奔去，那碧蓝的大海一望无际。正是涨潮的时候，那海水冲击地面，发出了“花花”的声音。我向海跳去，那股凉意从脚尖冲向了大脑。老爸也在海里，对我说：“等你好久了!”我向老爸跑去，不知被什么东西绊了一下，我摔了一跤，不过好在有救生圈，我没沉下去，胡乱挖了几下，又游回了老爸身边。我不是十分会游泳，呛了好几口海水，我才知道，原来海水咸得发苦。于是我就向妈妈请教一下怎么游泳，妈妈演示了一遍，因为妈妈是自己学的游泳，所以游起泳来毫无章法可言，只见她用自创狗刨式一下子游走了。我追不上去，只好自己游上去，脚蹬地，太空漫步似的走了。妈妈带头为我鼓掌，“哗……”一个浪头过去以后，我的腿暴露了出来，露馅了，一串尴尬的表情出现在我的脸上。我挠着头皮不好意思地笑了，于是决定开始认真地学游泳。我用双手拨开水面，双脚一张一合。“咕咕咕”我又被呛了好几口海水，看来学习游泳并没有我想象的这么简单呀。当然学习一项技能是不可能一蹴而就，要有足够的耐心。我有信心我一定能学会游泳。

这次的厦门之旅我让看到了广阔无垠的大海;让我在大海的怀抱里尽情地遨游;让我品尝了各种各样的风味海鲜小吃和海岛的新鲜水果。

这真是一次难忘的旅行呀!

Today the quality of our natural environment has become an important issue. The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too

crowded. We are using up our natural resources and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot survive.

Concerned people have made some progress in environmental protection. Governments of many countries have established laws to protect the air, forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution.

Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental problems. People should be further educated to recognize the importance of the problems, to use modern methods of birth control, to conserve(保存) our natural resources and recycle(再循环) our products. We are sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in the future.

今天,自然环境质量已成为一个重要议题。世界人口增长如此之快以至于世界已经变得太拥挤了。我们正在用尽自然资源,同时,用化学危险品污染环境。如果我们继续这样做,地球上的生命将无法继续存活。

有关人员有了一些进展在环境保护。许多国家的政府都制定了法律以保护空气,森林和海洋资源并停止环境污染。

更多措施应该被采取解决环境问题。受过教育的人应该是进一步认识问题的重要性,要运用现代控制生育的方法来保存(保存)我们的自然资源和循环(再循环)我们的产品。我们相信,我们可以有更好的和比较干净的地方,在未来的。

I have some good advice for your work。 If you can do the following things， you will succeed in doing everything。

Firstly， whatever you do， you must be punctual and hard—working。 If you sow a good seed， you will get a good harvest。 If the seed is in poor quality， the harvest will also be very bad。 And if you sow nothing， you will get nothing at all。 Nothing。

Secondly， you must be honest。 As honesty is the moral tuition that everyone should have。 If you treat other people friendly and sincerely， others will also respect you。

Thirdly， you must be tolerant to others， since no one is perfect in the world。 Everyone has his own faults， but if you can see everything on other persons perspective， there will be no problem at all。

Whats more， when you are in a big company， you should not only respect the leaders， but also get on well with the colleagues。 Sometimes， you should try to please your boss， so that you could have more chances to be promoted。

Last but not the least， dont ignore the little things， because such a little thing will have a great effect on your life。 So you should start yourselves at the bottom， in order to get enough working experience。 As you have enough working experience， nothing you will be afraid。

今年的暑假，我过得特别有意义。因为爸爸给我报了学校组织的夏令营活动。 7月28号这天我的心情多么高兴啊。一大早我们就来到了学校，然后坐上了去安徽的车子。来到徽州，转过头看车外，只见外面到处都是山，一座连着一座，蜿蜒起伏，在山的周围云雾缭绕，似人间仙境。 到了徽州，我们游览了棠越牌坊群，看到了古朴典雅的古代建筑，也知道了封建社会忠、孝、节、义伦理的概貌。在牌坊群我们一边参观一边听故事，真让我受益匪浅。

离开牌坊群，我们又来到了鲍家花园，在那里我认识了许多价格昂贵的而又非常奇特的植物，这些植物的寿命十分长，真令人惊叹。 第二天，我们坐上车子来到了徽州的一所乡村小学。一到小学门口，我便惊呆了，这里的校园很小，房子没有我们那里的漂亮，再看看操场，全是沙子和石头，压根儿就没有草地，更别说什么塑胶了。进入教室，只见一个小小的讲台，课桌有双人的有单人的，虽然破旧，但排列很整齐。条件这么艰苦，可这里的学生仍然很开心，学习也很刻苦。想想我们那里的学习的条件，我们还有什么资格不认真学习呢？

中午，我来到了与我结对的小女孩家里，我们一边聊天一边吃饭，非常开心。下午那个小女孩的爸爸带着我们来到了他们家田地里，绿油油的田地周围有清澈的小溪，各种美丽的花儿，在这里劳动简直是一种享受。在田地里，我认识了许多有趣的农作物，如：玉米、花生、南瓜;这些都是我们平时难以看见的，让我收获很大。 傍晚，我们离开了农家，汽车虽然开远了，但那小女孩美丽的笑容，却深深留在了我的脑海里。 第三天，我们去了障山大峡谷，一路上，我看见有一座特别高大的山，它的四周云雾缠绕，那云雾好像是它的白丝巾，哦，这就是著名的黄山。我们一边登山一边欣赏美丽的峡谷风景，不一会就来到了我们的目的地--翡翠谷。

这里的瀑布雄伟壮观，泉水冰凉清爽，我被眼前的景色迷住了，仿佛来到了人间仙境。 三天的夏令营很快就结束了，这三天让我感受到了大自然的美丽神奇，学会了离开妈妈独立生活，体会到我们现在生活的幸福。这真是一次令人难忘的夏令营。

译文

朋友可以是同学，可以是萍水相逢的人，也可以是忘年交……从小到大，我们都有朋友，但总有一个最好的朋友。

我最好的朋友是小兔。 小兔这个名称很适合她，她比较瘦，戴着一副眼镜，在她的身上总能找到天真可爱的气息。

上体育课时，她跑得可快啦!她跑起来像一阵风，鬼点子很多，你总不知道她在想什么。

上课时，她会认真听讲，总不分神;下课时，她也会很高兴地和我们玩耍;很大方，但唱歌时，总是有一点羞涩;放学时，她的欢声笑语回荡在僻静的小路上。

有一天放学后，我和他走在僻静的小路上，看见了一只可爱的小猫正“喵喵喵喵”地叫着，它的毛是雪白的，耳朵是粉红色的短短的胡须，它那绿宝石一样的眼睛里泛着灵气。小兔慢慢地移动了视线，“呀!”小兔惊叫一声，“它的小腿受伤了，我们把它带回家去包扎一下吧!”小兔说完，用可怜的目光看着它，又用恳求的目光看着我，生怕我不答应她似地。“好吧。”我答应了。她高兴地把它抱起来，轻轻地抚摸了它几下，说：“我们走吧。”我们飞快地回到了家里。

回到家后，我们把它的伤口清洗了一下，又找来纱布把伤口包扎了一下，给它喂了一点饼干，喝了一点水，我们对它可真像对一个病人呀。

后来，小猫的伤好了，已经可以走路了，它高兴地摇摇尾巴，淘气的冲我们叫个不停，似乎在表达我们对它的救助之恩。我们也经常一起去看望它，照顾它，我们三个成了好朋友。

我还要感谢这只小猫呢，如果不是它，我和小兔之间的友谊也不会像宝石一样坚固呢!

Recently, the Prince Harry announced his engagement with an American

actress. When the media asked him when he decided this girl would be his

lifetime partner, he said the moment when he saw her for the first time. Love at

first sight sounds romantic and many young people believe that the first feeling

about another person is really important, because it always decides whether they

can be couples in the following days. While many old people think love at first

sight doesnt exist, because they need to know the personality, which will

decide the charm of another person. For a relationship, the good first

impression can bring passion and love, but it cant maintain the relationship

for lifetime. The way to get along with each other and the tolerance of both

sides are key factors to decide whether a couple can stay forever.

Nowadays, pets become so close and friendly to our human-beings that more

and more people enjoy keeping them. Pets can bring them a lot of joys and

happiness, because playing with pets is a good way to communicate with the

nature. Besides, pets can comfort old people who live alone. With the companion

of pets, they won’t feel lonely. Nevertheless, I’m not interested in keeping

pets at all. For one thing, keeping pets is bad for environmental protection,

since pets usually make a lot of noise and contaminate the roads. For another,

the virus carried by pets may cause fatal disease. What’s more, sometimes pets

may attack people when they are unhappy. Consequently, we had better not keep

too many pets, so as to ensure our health and security. Besides, those pet

lovers must take some effective measures to prevent their pets from hurting

people and polluting our environment.
