Since I went to college, I feel so excited about the new chapter of my

life. I have imagined the campus life for so many years. Now I finally come to

this stage. I have much time after class, so I need to learn to deal with it.

After two years’ struggling, I find the right way to spend my time.

The first thing for every college student is to learn major knowledge. In

China, so many students think college time is used to play instead of study, so

they skip class. This is a big mistake. College is the stage for students to

master practical skills, which decides what kind of job they will work on. So I

study very hard from Monday to Friday. I don’t want to miss the important

knowledge.

The second thing for college students is to join the after-class

activities. Joining the activities can not only learn more skills, such as dance

and sports, but also can make friends. Campus is like a small society. Students

need to learn to make connections with other students, so that they can win more

chances. I learn a lot from my new friends and know how to communicate.

My college life is wonderful, I learn both knowledge and social skills.

When my friends ask me to take pictures of them, they will take a lot of pictures and then only keep a few of them.

Because they are not satisfied with most pictures, they think they are not perfect.

Actually, when I look at the pictures, there is nothing serious in my eyes, everyone in the pictures look as they are.

People chase for the perfect side, that’s why more and more people choose to have the plastic surgery.

Take the celebrities for example, they look beautiful enough, but to make themselves look perfect, most of them take the plastic surgery, which makes them look unnatural. People have to cost the great price for chasing the perfect side, while no one is perfect.

If we accept our imperfect side, we will live in the easy way and can enjoy the life.

当我的朋友们叫我帮拍照的时候，他们会拍很多照片，然而只有少部分照片能保存下来。因为他们不满意大部分的照片，觉得自己看起来不完美。实际上，当我看到照片的时候，在我看来没有什么大问题，照片中的每个人看起来都像他们自己的样子。人们追求完美的一面，这也是为什么越来越多的人选择去进行整容手术。就拿名人来说，他们看起来足够漂亮，但是为了让自己看起来完美，大部分人进行了整容手术，这让他们看起来不自然。为了追求完美，人们不得不付出很大的代价，然而没有人是完美的。如果我们接受自己不完美的方面，那么我们就会过得轻松点，享受好生活。

导语：习主席的“一带一路”是实现国家富强、民族振兴、人民幸福的中国梦而提出的重大战略构想。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!

The promotion of One Belt And One Road will surely create new opportunities for the realization of the Chinese dream and will bring more new strength and new vitality to the world.

I am Chinese, I have the "Chinese dream"!

【参考译文】

今天看新闻，听到一条新闻，习近平总书记提出“一带一路，筑中国梦”，我不太理解，就跑去问爸爸，爸爸想了想，对我说：“在中国的唐朝，有一条道路，从唐朝首都长安城出发，经过中亚、西亚直到欧洲，他就是大名鼎鼎的‘丝绸之路’，商人们通过丝绸之路把中国的丝绸、瓷器等东西卖给沿线国家的人们，让他们穿上漂亮的衣服，用上精美的餐具，同时也带来了其他国家的各种奇珍异宝。这条路是贸易之路，也是文化交流之路”。

我想了想说：“那可以把‘一带一路’理解成现代的丝绸之路，把我们中国的各种家电、生活用品，带去其他国家，甚至给沿线国家铺设高铁，建造发电厂，还可以去支持非洲等落后国家的发展建设，然后把其他国家的石油、矿产、粮食等我们需要的物资带回家”，爸爸笑着点了点头。

习主席的“一带一路”是实现国家富强、民族振兴、人民幸福的中国梦而提出的重大战略构想。推动实施一带一路，必将为实现中国梦开拓新局面、创造新机遇，必将给全世界加入更多新力量、新活力。

我是中国人，我有“中国梦”!

一、遣词方面：用词要贴切而丰富，善用短语 ,词汇是语言的建筑材料，文章的好坏，选词很关键，如果用词精湛，就会使文章“亮”起来。

1、措辞要贴切具体

试比较下面句子：

A man is walking down the street.

A man is strolling down the street.

通过比较可以看出，前一句不如后一句表达得具体、生动。一个词如果内涵越具体，那么在特定的场景中恰当地使用它，就会收到意想不到的效果。很多同学写作时常随便用一个很笼统的词来描述一个具体事物或人，如 a nice man给人感觉很笼统空泛，我们可以用很多有个性的、具体的词描绘一个人，如 generous(大方的，慷慨的)，humorous(幽默的)，smart(漂亮的，潇洒的)，kind-hearted，warm-hearted，hospitable(好客的,招待周到的)，gentle(文雅的)，optimistic(乐观的)，easy-going(随和的)，spirited(英勇的)，cultivated(有教养的)，manly(有男子气概的)，knowledgeable(知识渊博的)等等。

2、要善于运用短语

短语用得好，会给评卷员留下深刻印象。如：

When he was a child，he wanted to learn everything.( 普通)

When he was a child，he had a strong appetite(胃口) for knowledge.(高级)

3、要避免汉语思维

用词要符合英语习惯，避免汉语思维的影响，如某些名词和动词搭配已约定俗成，不能随意打乱其搭配习惯，否则会显得生硬和词不达意。如汉语中的“学到知识”，英语中就不能说“learn knowledge”，而要说acquire knowledge (获得知识) 。类似的动宾结构还有achieve success (获得成功)，gain reputation (获得声誉)，attain ones end (达到目的)等。

二、造句方面：句式要准确而多变，活用复合句

简单句用得太多，会造成文章读起来乏味。在评卷员看来，同样意思的内容，能够运用比较复杂的句式结构来表达，当然会认为其运用语言的能力要比只会用简单句来表达要强，评分自然就高。

1、巧用非谓语动词

运用非谓语动词，可使文句看起来更简洁，使语言更加丰富多彩，重点更加突出，增加文采。如：

I covered my ears，trying to keep the noise out，but failed. (2004广东卷)

2、巧用with复合结构

“with+名词/代词+现在分词/过去分词/形容词/副词/介词”结构，常作伴随状语以增加被描绘内容的生动性和情感性，使文章读起来更简洁明了。试比较：

I couldnt go on studying because there was so much noise troubling me. (普通)

I couldnt go on studying with so much noise troubling me. (高级)

3、巧用复合句

高考评分标准强调使用语法结构的数量和复杂性，鼓励考生尽量使用较复杂的结构，并且对由此产生的错误采取了宽容的态度。如果恰当运用各类从句，就会使文章出彩。

如：(定语从句) Whats more，people have easy access to the Internet，which enables them to send and receive e-mails whenever they like.

4、巧用倒装句、感叹句、强调句、虚拟语气句等

使用这些句式可使文章化平淡为生动，加强语气，使评卷老师感受作者的强烈情感。

(倒装句)Only in this way can Internet Bars be well used by people.

(感叹句)I thought，“How hard mum is working! She must be very tired.”

5、巧用排山倒海句

如能运用一个个排比句、对偶句、不定式或短语，可令文章增色不少，会给评卷员眼前一亮的感觉。如：

The purpose of the program are to make our school more beautiful，to make the air cleaner and fresher，and to turn our school into a better place for us to study and live in.

三、谋篇方面：结构要清晰而流畅，巧用过渡词

众所周知，语言的最高层次不是传统语法所说的句子，而是语篇。语篇指的是一系列连接的语段或句子构成的语言整体。一篇好的文章不但句子正确，要点齐全，更重要的是有效地使用了语句间的连接成分。因此，恰当使用好连接性的词语和句子，是使作文获得高分的一个重要因素。

下列各组表示列举或补充的短语或句式非常实用，对高考写作很有帮助：

(1)Firstly...，secondly...，thirdly...，finally...

(2)In the first place...，in the second place...，in the third place...，lastly...

(3)to begin with...，then...，furthermore...，finally...

(4)to start with...，next...，in addition...，finally...

(5)first and foremost...，besides...，last but not least...

(6)most important of all...，moreover...，finally...

如果只有两层意思，可选用下列两组中的任一组：

(1)On the one hand...，on the other hand...

(2)For one thing..., and for another thing...技巧，希望对大家有帮助

Nowadays, some discussions about the childrens education and management

have raised the whole social concern. It seems not only about childrens

personal development, but also about the whole countrys future.

There are two main views in debate, which of them is that children should

obey the rules set by parents and teachers. The other is that less control will

help children to deal with their future adult life.

As for the former, the advantages of it seem to be very apparent, which of

them is that children can make a distinction between right and wrong things. And

they will have a sense of principle and responsibility. Of course, the

disadvantages are also very clear. Firstly, children will be lacking in

imagination and creation. Secondly, they cannot make up their mind on their

own.

Concerning the latter, the view seems to be reasonable because in this ways

these children are more clever and active to create something special. However,

the drawbacks couldnt be ignored as a result of a problem that children cannot

get a clear understanding of their lifetime.

Combining the both points, as far as Im concerned, parents and teachers

are supposed to instruct children to obey the primary principle when they do

some deeds. Moreover, children need more freedom to realize their dreams. Only

in this way can the problem be solved perfectly.

In conclusion, we cant only support one side simply. On the contrary, we

ought to choose different measures to educate children flexibly.

导语：未来的路上，等待我的也许是荆棘，也许是指南针，我不知道。我唯一可以肯定的是，我该对未来有信心，因为我在努力。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!

I earnestly hope to lead a healthy and prosperous life in the future. Judging from my aptitude inclination and personality streaks, my ideal life will be that of a scientist, researching, lecturing, and writing books. As I am from a farming family, I particularly enjoy being close to earth. If I can afford to live a pastoral life in the countryside, I will feel most blessed. As far as social life is concerned, simplicity is what I intend to pursue, so I really dont need too many friends. All these will be mere talk if I am idle now. To attain my goal, I must make a point of training my body and mind. This is a highly competitive society in which everyone is eager to come out on top. That is not only a competition of physical strength and mental power, but a marathon of patience, faith, and perseverance. Life is not all roses, but with what I am being equipped with by the top teachers in this elite school, I surely deserve a promising prospect.

【参考译文】

我恳切地希望将来能过着健康而顺遂的一生。从我的能力倾向及人格特质来判断，我理想的生活方式将是担任一名科学家，从事研究讲学以及著作。由于我来自农家，尤其喜欢亲近土地。如果我有经济能力在乡下过着田园生活，我会深感福佑。至于社交生活，「单纯」是我所要追求的，所以我确实不需要太多的朋友。如果我现在懒散，这一切都将流于空谈;要达成目标，我必须重视锻炼自己的身心。这是一个高度竞争的社会，人人都渴望拔得头筹。那不但是一场体力和脑力的竞争，也是耐心、信心和毅力的马拉松。人生并不全是美好的事，但以我目前得自这所精英聚集的学校的顶尖老师所施的教化，我必定有个光明的前程。

The rest of the day is full of games and eating until the happiest of all Christmas hollidays comes to an end.

在圣诞节的早晨，孩子们很早就起床。有些人甚至在两点钟的时候开灯，但大多数人还是在六点钟醒的，虽然在英国这个时间就算再过一两个小时也还没有天亮。

在准备晚宴的时候，孩子寻找自己的礼物，年轻的玩耍。在下午约一点钟的时候，圣诞晚餐开始。火鸡或鸡肉被迅速吃掉。孩子们在他们的圣诞布丁寻找哪个隐藏了新币。在一天剩下的时间都充满了游戏和吃的，直到最幸福的各个圣诞假期结束。

今年的圣诞节，我过的非常的有意思，我不仅收到了圣诞老人送给我的礼物，而且还挣了11元钱。和大家一起分享一下吧。

12月24日是平安夜，放学后，我和班里的10个同学被我们的妈妈们带到通州西门人流较多的地方去卖平安果，妈妈们让我们这些孩子们体验生活，同时也过一个难忘的圣诞节。

到了地点，我们两人一组，分成五组，每组一个小篮子，里面装上6个平安果，我们的行动就开始了，家长们在一边看着。

我们看见有个阿姨走过，我们10个人就呼啦一下围过去就说：“阿姨，买个平安果吧，5元一个，祝您圣诞节快乐。”10个人吵作一团，都争着卖自己的，结果把阿姨吓跑了，谁的也没买，我们10个人就开始互相埋怨，又开始唧唧喳喳的吵个不停。我们的妈妈们看着我们争吵都一言不发，只是看着我们。争吵一会之后，我们感觉应该拉开距离，不能在一起，我拿了2个苹果自己去天桥卖了，我连问了几个人，有叔叔也有阿姨，他们都不买，我快急哭了，手里拿着苹果，眼里含着泪水，一回头，妈妈在我身后笑着对我说：“小朋友，我想买个平安果，多少钱一个啊?”我说：“不卖您，看我的，我一定能卖出去。”这时过来了一个阿姨，我走过去说：“阿姨，您买个平安果吧，5元一个，祝您……。”我的话还没说完，没想到阿姨说：“孩子，我买一个。”阿姨给我5元钱。“耶，我卖了一个平安果。”我高兴的蹦很高，我真高兴，忘记了寒冷，忘记了刚才的难过。我后来又卖了两个苹果，一个是5元卖的，一个是1元买的，我一共卖了11元钱。

妈妈们让我们集合了，要去吃饭了，我拿着自己挣到的11元钱，心里美滋滋的。妈妈们请我们这10个小朋友到比格吃的自助餐，我们吃得特别的多特别的香。一边吃，我们还一边比谁卖的钱多，陈潞曦卖了50元，最多，还有5元的。哈哈，我不是最后一名。

旁边桌上，妈妈们在吃饭，她们也在议论我们，还有个妈妈笑的眼泪都流出来了。

今年的圣诞节，我体会到了，挣钱还真不容易，做事情真不能放弃，要相信自己，要坚持。生活还真有意思，我今年的圣诞节好玩吧。小朋友们，你们有这样的经历吗?也和我一起分享一下吧。

真是一个难忘的圣诞节，我虽然只卖了11元钱，但是，我体会到的却很多。

Dear teacher,

Time flies, sun and moon, now I have been in the sixth grade, looking back at those who have given us care and care of the teacher, they are still as kind. [] Teacher, you are a hard gardener, tirelessly cultivating the flowers of the motherland; Teacher, you are the disseminator of knowledge, to pass new knowledge to us; Teacher, you are like chalk, sacrifice themselves, to leave us knowledge, you are how great ah!

Teacher, without your careful cultivation, I could not have become a man of knowledge. You gave me the future. You want your students to be "better than blue" and have a bright future. Teacher, you regardless of their own fatigue to give us the day class, in the evening to prepare lesson plans, correcting homework, the rest of the time is very few. We students are ashamed of ourselves. As the saying goes, the profession of a teacher lies in "burning oneself, illuminating others", which is the so called contribution of every teacher to students.

Teacher, you are like an umbrella, in our need to you, you are always fearless to stand in front of us, for us shelter; When the weather is cold, you tell us to wrap up warmly so that we wont catch cold. When we cant do a certain problem, you will patiently explain to us, until we understand; When we need comfort, you always use the kind tone to comfort us?

Teacher, you are like the star in my heart. Winter to spring, although I have grown up, but the star is still in my heart shining bright, purify my heart, help me to find the secret of confidence and success, help me to find the truth.

Ah, teacher! You were our second parent, and For those few weeks, I felt your kindness and your comfort. The teachers love, like a warm current, always warm my heart, the teachers love, like a blazing flame to illuminate my learning future, I will never forget.

advance

Salute!

Student:

For most western countries, Christmas Day is the biggest festival, and all the people will have the long vacation, just as Spring Festival in China. With the development of globalization, Christmas Day is celebrated by people around the world. When the day comes, Christmas trees can be seen in many shops and some products have the great discounts.

One of the main reasons for people to love Christmas is that they can get the great discounts from some products, which saves them a lot of money. For American people, Christmas Day is the great moment for the families to get together and enjoy the family hour, while for some people they just treat it as the shopping day.

对大多数西方国家来说，圣诞节是最大的节日，所有的人都会有一个长假，就像中国的春节一样。随着全球化的发展，世界各地的人们都在庆祝圣诞节。当这一天到来的时候可以在许多商店看到圣诞树，有些商品还会打上很大的折扣。

人们喜欢圣诞节的一个主要原因是他们可以从一些产品中获得很大的折扣，为他们节省很多钱。对美国人来说，圣诞节是全家人聚在一起享受家庭时光的美好时刻，而对于一些人来说，圣诞节就是购物日。

这个节日的由来逝代中国有一位博学多闻的官吏屈原，他是一位爱民而且又受到尊崇的官吏，但是由於一位充满嫉妒的官吏陷害，从此在朝廷中被皇帝所冷落。由於无法获得皇帝的重视，屈原在忧郁的情况下投汨罗江自尽。

由於对屈原的爱戴，汨罗江畔的居民匆忙的划船在江内寻找屈原，并且将米丢入汨罗江中，以平息汨罗江中的蛟龙。即使他们当时并没有找到屈原，但是他们的行为，直到今天在端午节的时候，仍然被人们传颂纪念著。

The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government official named Chu Yuan. He was a good and respected man，but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperors court.

Unable to regain the respect of the emperor，in his sorrow Chu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river. Because of their admiration for Chu Yuan， the local people living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons.

Although they were unable to find Chu Yuan，their efforts are still commemorated today during the Dragon Boat Festival.

1.There are several reasons for…, but in general, they come down to three major ones.有几个原因……，但一般，他们可以归结为三个主要的。

2.There are many factors that may account for…, but the following are the most typical ones.有许多因素可能占...，但以下是最典型的。

3.Many ways can contribute to solving this problem, but the following ones may be most effective.有很多方法可以解决这个问题，但下面的可能是最有效的。

4.Generally, the advantages can be listed as follows.一般来说，这些优势可以列举如下。

Today, when I awaked up, I found the air-conditioner didn’t work. I used the control, but it still didn’t work. I knew the air-conditioner was in trouble. I went downstairs. My father told me two air-conditioner and two netputer had been broken. Because my father used electric making machine to make electric, so the voltage was not stable. It led to the trouble. Oh! Whenever the government will let the factory use electric? If it lasts longer, I will be crazy!!

Girls at a training course offered by the "Care for Girls" program in

Qingjian county, Shaanxi province, talked about their pursuit of dreams despite

living in unfavorable conditions.

Initiated by the National Health and Family Planning commission in 2013,

the program helps girls in underdeveloped regions to build their self-esteem and

self-confidence.

"I want to be a teacher teaching Chinese because I like Chinese and

writing," Xi said. "By teaching I can not only share knowledge with my students,

but also keep learning new things from new versions of textbooks."

She is living with her mother in a room that has no bathroom and costs 300

yuan ($48) a month to rent. Merit certificates she received from school are

displayed on the wall. Yan Lingling, Xis mother, said she is proud of her

daughter.

According to the family planning policy, couples in which both the husband

and wife have rural residential permits can have another child if their first is

a daughter. Yan said she isnt planning on adding to the family because she

wants to give her daughter the best she has.

"My husband is away most of the time, working in construction sites and

making no more than 30,000 yuan ($4,840) a year. I work as an hourly worker

sometimes. The rent of our apartment is expensive. One more child means one more

burden," Yan said.

Speaking about how she plans to achieve her dream of becoming a teacher, Xi

said: "I will not give up on my dream easily, though I know it may be difficult.

When something becomes difficult, it only makes me want to try harder."

st important role in the environmental protection today.

In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.

Almost everyone wants to live a long life, but longevity is not for all

people. It is reported that most long life people are in villages, far away from

big cities. In village, life is closer to nature. The sky there is clear and

pretty; the air is fresh; the water is clean; and the food they eat are natural,

without any chemicals. Besides, those villages are abundant in green trees,

beautiful flowers, fresh fruit, and wild animals, which can evoke peoples

passions for life. Moreover, the living pace in those villages is rather slow.

People suffer less stress than cities’. Thus, they have more freedom to enjoy

what they like. No wonder that most villagers are strong and healthy. If I

become old someday, I would like to move to village to enjoy a more comfortable

and pleasant life.

I was so busy in the previous winter holiday for I am going to take the

university entrance exam in July this year. Everyday, I buried myself in

studying. I had to review each required subject and do lots of exercises.

Besides, because I did bad in mathematics and physics, I had to do much more

exercises than other courses, which made me discouraged. I spent more than ten

hours a day in studying. When I was tired, I watched TV or listened to music for

a little while. But It was a big pity that I couldnt go to the see cinema. In

addition, I had to refuse all the invitations of friends and relatives. I only

called them or sent messages in the New Year’s Eve. I desperately hoped that

there is no exam but I know it’s impossible. The only thing I can do is to study

hard to get good scores and can be admitted to Tsinghua University.

噢耶！过年喽！吃年夜饭了！”我高兴地到处嚷嚷。

除夕之夜是一家人团聚的时刻，俗话说得好：“有钱没钱，回家过年。”这一天是中华民族团聚欢乐的好时光。

我家也不例外，妈妈和姥姥做年夜饭，爸爸和姥爷贴春联，我呢在楼下和小伙伴玩鞭炮，大家都忙得不亦乐乎。

随着“久经菜场”的妈妈一声大喊：“上菜了……”拉开了年夜饭的序幕。望着这一桌热气腾腾的年夜饭，我馋得口水直往肚子里流。妈妈指着一盘红烧鲤鱼说：“这是‘年年有余’！”姥姥指着红烧鸡说：“这是‘吉祥如意’！”爸爸与姥爷碰杯进酒：“祝您老福如东海，寿比南山！”并夹起青菜对二老说：“这是长庚菜，祝您二老长命百岁。”姥爷捋捋胡须，夹起用玉米粉做起的龙须饼说：“这是‘双龙戏珠’该外孙吃，争取考双百！”我开玩笑地回答：“考试有四门呢！”“哦，那就再夹两个！”姥爷乐呵呵地又往我的碗里夹了两个，“那就考两个双百!”“好，好!”我狼吞虎咽地吃了起来……

这时，姥爷笑咪咪地说：“我来给大家发红包，前提是每人必须回答一个问题。”大家顿时安静了下来。“老婆子，请听题：“长长一串，一爆赛过红豆子。”姥姥稍思片刻说：“爆竹。”“中奖！”姥爷乐呵呵得将红包递给了姥姥。

后来姥爷又对爸爸说：“小小一个本，计算是第一。”爸爸脱口而出：“是计算机。”爸爸笑嘻嘻地接过了红包。

“外孙，该你了。我来考考你的数学，5×6×3.14等于多少？”我思考了一下：“等于94.2。”“正确！”我也赢得了一个红包。

“女儿，你是家庭主妇，我问你，什么东西越洗越小？”“肥皂。”妈妈也顺理成章地得到了一个大红包。

屋内笑声阵阵，屋外鞭炮声声，这也正应了门外那副春联：四海为春春不老，九州同乐乐无穷。
