未来的生活英语作文精选20篇

Different people have different opinions about school life.As for me,I think it likes a cup of coffee.Maybe a little bitter,but I really enjoy it.Some students hate homework a lot.

But I dont agree with them.Sometimes doing homework is a kind of relax.For example,when you do some creative homework.That must be very exciting and let me feel relaxed.Although sometimes we will have some problems,dont care about it.Just go ahead,nothing can make you lose interested in study.In a word,the harder we work,the better our future will be.

Until now I’m not sure if I really have interest in teaching, although I, as a free normal student, am supposed to be a teacher in the future. Once I dreamed to be a businesswoman or an official, while it seemed that the choice, which I made out of having no way out one year ago, changed everything. In spite of that, I still believe a promising future is waiting for me. What I need to do is making a new plan for it and keeping the pursuit of it.

It’s clear that I have to teach as a volunteer in the country for two years after my graduation. Maybe I will get on with the children in the JingGangshan, the poorest area in Jiangxi for the years. Being knowledgeable and full of energy, surely I will make a difference there. Knowledge is strength, especially in the competitive society today. Therefore during those two years I decide to proceed my study as a postgraduate. Some years later, I may quit teaching unless I find I’m real interesting in teaching.

我的未来计划

到现在为止我不知道是否我真的有兴趣在教学中，虽然我，作为一个自由正常的学生，我应该是教师的未来。尽管我梦想成为一个商人或官员，然而似乎一年前我选择了一条没有出路的路，改变了一切。尽管如此，我仍然相信一个充满希望的未来正等待着我。我需要做的是使一个新的计划，并保持追求它。

很明显，毕业后我不得不做为志愿者在该国教学两年。也许我会在井冈山,江西最贫穷的地区的,与孩子们友好相处几年。作为知识和充满活力的我肯定会存在差异。知识就是力量，尤其是在竞争激烈的当今社会。因此，这两年期间我决定着手研究我国作为一个研究生。几年后，我可能会退出教学，除非我发现我真正的不喜欢教学. 给我你的邮箱我发给你

上周我去峨眉山在四川省与我的家人。清晨，我们乘坐一辆出租车到北京西站。车站很热闹。

半小时后，我们上了火车。在火车上，我们有很多的乐趣。26个小时后，我们到达了四川。在那里，我们拍了许多照片，还不错。5天之后，我们回到了北京。即使我的旅行似乎很短，但我的愉快的记忆将持续很久。

I am going to shool from Monday to Friday,and every day in school I am very busy.In the morning,I have four lessons,and in the afternoon I have three lessons.Of course I take two hours to go home for lunch.And we begin classes at 2:30,the school is over at 4:55.

我想象中的未来生活还是高素质的。人人都具有相当高的文化素质，没有了粗言野语，没有了打架斗殴，有的更多也是礼让、谦虚。警察抓小偷的事也绝迹了，所有的警察都改行当公益人员了。小孩子们也不再逃学了，他们认真、努力读书，热爱学习，热爱创造，热爱生活。小孩子们一但成了年就离开父母去过自己的生活，寻找自己人生的道路，坚强、勇敢地屹立于巅峰之上，不再是温室里的花朵了。

我想象中的未来生活还是高科技的。人们可以居住在“家装型”汽车上到处游走，没有固定的居所，相互间都用无线电子信号联系。小孩子们上学也是呆在家里用卫星系统通过高级显示频来读书，教师教学也不用再用口讲得半死了，全都是自动化。道路上，也没有了拥挤，没有了汽车尾气的排放，全都用磁悬浮来代替燃料的燃烧，从而“温室效应”这一大难题也随之消失。世界到处也没有了刺耳的喇叭声，人们自觉遵守着交规。

我想象中的未来生活，是一个美丽的世界，一个幸福的天堂！

Now I am in a middle school, and I wish I could grow up soon. I always imagine what would I do in ten years. At that time, I would have already finished my college and come to the job market. I will work in the office as everybody else. When the work is done, I would come to dinner with my parents. I don’t want to work far away from them, so I will choose to job near home. When I earn money, I can travel around the world, so on the holiday, I will make some plans to enrich my knowledge and broaden my vision by seeing different scenery. This is the life I want in ten years.

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.

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.

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.

Sky blue, white clouds, there is a lake, the lake side, there are several willow willow girl gently stroked the lake brothers cheek. From a few bird crow, originally is the orioles singing in the willows; In the distance, several egrets fly in the blue sky. as du fu "two oriole sound cui willow, a line of egrets on the sky." Ah! What a beautiful artistic conception! Now most people aspire to the living environment, but with the development of the industry, a large number of harmful gas and industrial wastewater discharge, make the earths temperature, water pollution.

Do this, move the brain, and also note the rubbish to see garbage is recycled or not in his hand, and then throw. Dont see someone is thrown on the ground, throw myself, dont learn others, should be timely dissuade him (her).

NO. 2 - to save water, protection of water resources is well known, "water is the source of life". The water on the earth is very rich, but it can directly for people to drink fresh water accounts for less than 1%, the rest of the 99% water, so we have to economize on water. On the basis of this, but also reduce the discharge of industrial and living sewage.

NO. 3, energy conservation and emissions reduction, low carbon life

We should pay attention to energy saving, solar terms, fuel-efficient, start from the intravenous drip, as far as possible to reduce electricity, oil, gas, reduce the use of disposable supplies, go out, in their own cars less as far as possible by bus, reduce the discharge of domestic water and garbage. We must learn to energy conservation and emissions reduction, low carbon life.

NO. 4 - trees

The "lungs of the earth, the forest is one of natures temperature regulator. Forests absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release a large amount of oxygen, maintaining the carbon - oxygen balance of nature, thus purify air environment, make us breathe fresh air, so we want to afforestation more, make the earth green.

Low carbon environmental protection is every citizen to do your own thing, left everyones participation and support, and low-carbon environmental protection is meaningless. Lets erase carbon footprint will low carbon environmental protection, let us hand in hand into the low carbon era.

天蓝蓝的，白云悠悠，有一个湖泊，湖泊旁有几棵柳树，柳姑娘轻轻抚摸着湖水弟弟的脸颊。不时传来几声鸟啼声，原来是黄鹂在柳树上鸣叫;远处，有几只白鹭飞上蓝天。正如杜甫绝句中“两个黄鹂鸣翠柳，一行白鹭上青天。”啊!多么美的意境呀!现在人们大多向往这样的生活环境，但随着工业的发展，大量有害气体和工业污水排出，使地球温度升高，水资源污染。再加上滥砍乱伐，是森林少而又少，地球妈妈每天都在流眼泪,所以我们要行动起来，一起低碳环保，让地球妈妈不再哭泣，重回青春美丽。

NO.1----不要偷懒，盲目从众现在人们的环保意识已经增强，在大街上随处可见垃圾箱，只要多走几步就能看见它因此不要偷懒噢!做到了这一点，还要注意扔垃圾的时候动一下脑子，看手上拿的垃圾是可回收还是不可回收，然后再扔。不要看见有人随手扔在地上，自己也扔，不要学别人，应及时劝阻他(她)。

NO.2----节约用水，保护水资源众所周知，"水是生命之源.地球上的水资源很丰富，但能直接供人饮用的淡水占还不到1%,其余的99%为海水，所以我们要节约用水。在这一基础上，还要减少排放工业，生活污水。

NO.3----节能减排，低碳生活

我们要注意节电,节气，节油，从点滴做起，尽可能减少电，油，气的使用，减少使用一次性用品，出门尽量少开私家车，多坐公交车，减少家庭用水和垃圾的产生量。我们要学会节能减排，低碳生活。

NO.4----植树造林

“地球之肺”--森林是大自然的温度调节器。森林通过光合作用吸收大量的二氧化碳并释放出大量的氧气，维持了大自然的碳—氧平衡，从而净化空气环境，使我们呼吸新鲜空气，因此我们要多植树造林，使地球绿意盎然。

低碳环保是每个公民自己的事，离开了每个人的参与和支持，低碳环保就是一句空话。让我们抹去碳足迹将低碳环保进行到底，让我们携手走进低碳时代。

presently, a new lifestyle called low carbon life is spreading every corner of our country. the concepts of low carbon are low energy and no waste. it is such a significant project that i can’t wait to present my ideas on how to promote it.

on the first place, a no-car day is supposed to set up every week in our school. because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy. on no-car day, neither students nor teachers are allowed to drive to school. meanwhile, just walk, jump, cycle or run. use our legs and enjoy the fun.

on the second place, we had best not use plastic bags any more. no one can stand the “white pollution”. so, it is wise to use bags which can be reused again and again.

finally, one thing that we should keep in mind: every big thing comes from the subtle. therefore, as students, we ought to turn out the lights the moment we leave, turn off the tap in time, and reuse our textbook and so on.

all in all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice. just set our mind to these: no-car day, no plastic bags, and no waste. let’s do it now.

todays society is a highly developed technological society. however, the shortcomings in the development process are obvious, such as: carbon dioxide, and environmental pollution. but the most serious should be the carbon dioxide problem.

now the problem of global warming because of excess emissions of greenhouse gases. excessive amount of carbon dioxide emissions, creating a diversified economy and la nina phenomena lag disorder. two levels of glaciers melting, polar animals lose their chance of

survival at the same time, will lead to rising sea levels, many coastal cities into the water did not result in a few years later. therefore, we must take the necessary measures to reduce the environmental impact of carbon dioxide. from for example: tree-planting activities, reduce fossil fuel use, we can from our own, to promote low-carbon living.

currently,my school is launching an activity whose theme is that actions change the world to advocate the low carbon living.

in the activity,we are required to go to school or some other place by bike or by foot as much as possible instead of by bus.and when the christmas comes,sending e-greeting cards instead of tridional cards of which are made of wood as we know.besides,we should use both sides of every piece of paper and we should save water as well as electricity.

i believe that only we do thus can we have a better living environment.

No classical work could pervade every cubic centimeter of air with such cultural fragrance but she.

No judicious sage could merge various elements as a magnificent poem but she.

No green tree could consist of vivid cells arousing every hearts anxiety for being young forever but she.

She is my university Fudan University.

The first time I entered the campus as a freshman, I was deeply attracted by her cultural atmosphere and historical connotation. Fudan is a graceful lady who is accustomed to serenity but meanwhile each action of hers outpours her innermost tern perament. Apparently it is worth every effort to probe into her world for the sake of both physical and mental enrichment. Her humanistic spirit inspires me to care for everything around, even the most trivial one.

On the other hand, catching up with the times, Fudan is modern and smart. You see, the many age-old buildings here are actually great libraries and labs. Scientific and technological developrnent is easily smelt in the air,because she never lags behind the world.

Fabulously, such a historical and scientific school is far more than an operational mechanism. Her everlasting youth and vigor beam through every corner of the campus and the young in school vivify every piece of concrete and wood here. What makes me happy and strong is that it perpetuates me with unfading energy. And it is definitely beneficial for me to be granted enthusi。

Low-carbon life is good for everyone. To help with the environment，I always walk or ride a bike to school instead of taking a car. Besides，I will try to use things that can be recycled and I never forget to turn off the lights when I leave the classroom. I think it‘s my duty to live a low-carbon life. And even the simplest activities can make a real difference to the environment. So I suggest we should reuse books as long as possible. And we’d better not spend much money on expensive clothes. If everyone does something for the environment，I believe the earth will be a better place.

现在是公元二一五零年早上八点钟，我被“床摇型”闹钟给叫醒，开始了我一天的科技生活!

各种人会做的它做的一点儿也不差。它把可口的早饭送到我面前，调温勺已经将饭菜的温度调节到合适的温度了，放入口中，不会因为太烫而无法下口，也不会以为太冷而吃不下去。餐桌上许多盛物的碗、盆、碟都有这种功能，有了这种方便快捷的功能，我们的生活就方便多了。吃完早餐，先在沙发上坐一会儿，沙发上也有许多的功能，比如你靠在上面，就会有一个仪器帮你按摩;它的左下方还有一个杆子，只要拉动它，就能像赛车一样在屋子里乱跑了，只要拉好杆子控制就可以了。

“我的未来不是梦……”这些高科技都是人类创造的，相信这些东西也可以从未来变成现实。

以下是为大家整理的关于初中生暑假生活英语作文：我的暑假生活的文章，希望大家能够喜欢！

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.
