高三英语作文：关于手机是否影响学习的英语作文（经典20篇）

A hobby can be almost anything a person likes to do in his spare time. Hobbyists raise pets, build model ships, weave bas-kets, or carve soap figures and so on. In a word, hobbies offer en-joyment, friendship, knowledge and relaxation.

Then, what is my hobby? Well, what I like most is singing. I began to sing songs when I was very young. My uncle was studying in a college then, so he could sing lots of songs, and he taught me several songs. I showed great interests in the music then, for they were pleasing to ears and easy to sing. My uncle told me they were called pop songs.

When I grew up, my music teacher found that I had a good voice, so she sent me to the Childrens Palace to study vocal mu-sic. From then on, I began my vocal music training. And then I knew there were several kinds of songs, like folk songs, pop songs and so on. What I had learned most was the songs for children. They were all simple ones but our teacher trained us very strictly. We practiced how to produce sound and how to make our expres-sion more natural and more pleasing. Those simple training didnt reduce my interest in singing at all and I won awards one after another in several kinds of competition. Actually I began to make up a dream of becoming a famous singer in the future.

As time went by, I came to realize that my dream wouldnt come true for there were strict conditions of being a singer. But I still took singing as my hobby since I found in music the interests which were lost in the exams. When I put all my emotion into singing a song, it gave me very good and very pleasant feelings, and a good chance to relax. Besides, it was a good way to learn things that couldnt be easily found in life.

Now as Im saying goodbye to my childhood my voice has changed into a deep male voice, and therefore I can sing a lot of songs written for adults. I am often deeply moved, by the melody or by what the song.

Nowadays, almost everyone has a mobile phone. Some people even have two or

three. Mobile phones changes our lives a lot. It’s so easy to get to others. All

you have to do is making a call. You can talk to anyone no matter how far you

are. Making calls and texting messages are the basic functions of mobile phones.

But now, we can do a lot of things by mobile phones, such as listening to the

music, watching movies, taking photos, reading books and so on. It’s so

functional that it seems like a computer to some extent. Some people even deal

with their business by mobile phones. It’s amazing.

自孩提时起，我的心中便有一个疑惑：“为什么要上学呢?”

起初，我问妈妈，妈妈回答我说：“孩子，为了将来有出息啊!”对于妈妈的话，我似懂非懂，这也就成了我心中的一个未解之谜了。

步入小学，老师教导我们：“为中华之崛起而读书。”老师向同学们解释说，这是周恩来总理少年时代读书的誓言。但我觉得这个问题仍然没有得到满意的回答。因为没有社会的阅历，所以对于“纸上谈兵”的答复并不那么感悟，那么在意。我不能体会到这种深沉而炽热的爱国情怀。

少年时总是贪玩，对于生活中的事物并不留意，今天忘却昨天，等到明天就会忘记今天，得过且过。

升入初中，信心增强。那些幼时的往事又会重现在眼前，一遍又一遍，引人深思。宁静的夜晚，天空中没有明亮的月光，只有一丝惨淡的星光闪烁，仿佛是夏夜里落单的萤火虫。我揉了揉眼睛，眺望远方，开始无限的遐想之旅。我看到了荒芜贫瘠的乡村，看到了星光璀璨的都市。对比之下，乡村显得如此宁静、幽深。城市却嘈杂喧嚣，又夹杂着现代文明的气息。原来，大家庭如此和谐美好。

思绪又回到为何学习这个问题上来。我仍然给不出一个合理的答案。学习对人们是有益的，这一点我无可厚非，古人云：“学而时习之，不亦说乎?”这句话的意思是说：学习知识是要时常去温习的，这不也是感到快乐的事情吗?古人告诉我们的不仅仅是学习方法，还有学习的重要性。

每个人的心中都有一个理想，或空谈，不切实际。或志向高远，一步一个脚印。学习就像挑扁担，你提高了左边，右边便会渐渐滑落。这时，你只好腾出右手，用手去扶住那边。再用左手扶住左边，这样才会平衡，不至于失重倾斜。我想：学习也是这样，左右平衡，各门功课都要学好。

“少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲。”学习为了自己，自己必须学习。只有做到了这点，那么你就会懂得学习到底是为了什么的，才能真正挑起学习的重担来。

The moment I go to high school, I have made up my mind to study hard. It is

known to all that the period of high school is the turning point of people’s

life, which may decide my future career. So I know the importance of striving

for my future. The reason why I study so hard are various. First, I want my

parents to be proud of me. When my mothers’ friends come to visit her, they

always brag about how excellent their children are, but my mother would never

take me as the topic, because she does not want me to have the pressure. I

appreciate what my mother does to me and really want her to be proud of me.

Second, If I enter a good university, I can have the promising future. It is

time for me to return my parents’ love.

今年暑假一开始妈妈就给我报名参加了雨艺夏令营。这个夏令营不像我想象的那样带我们出去玩，而是以学习为主的。在夏令营里有来自各个学校的同学，有低年级的也有高年级的。

每天爸爸妈妈7点半就把我送去了，直到下班才能来接我。在夏令营里我们可以把暑假作业做好，而且老师还会帮我们检查。有时候我们做游戏;有时候我们学习;还有的时候我们做手工;每天我们过得很丰富。

在夏令营里我还认识了新的朋友。我们很喜欢在一起玩，我们还交换了自己很喜欢的玩具。

时间过得很快，我们的夏令营也结束了。在结束前我们在老师的带领下举办了一个很隆重的联欢会，邀请了家长们参加。我也参加了好几个节目，我在童话剧《白雪公主》里演了白马王子，虽然只有几句台词不过那可是要说英语的。我才不紧张呢，我可是雨花外国语小学的学生。我还和同学和说了相声《大拇指和食指》还得到了一致好评呢。

我的夏令营生活真是五彩缤纷啊!

现代社会，手机成为主要的通讯工具。逐渐地，手机也在中学生当中出现，出于攀比心理或其它原因，越来越多的中学生开始在学校里使用手机。

课堂上出现有人在发短信的现象，晚上很迟了却仍然还有人在打电话或者上网。很多学生白天都没有美精神，神情疲惫不堪。手机，作为移动终端，在我们生活中扮演着越来越重要的作用。手机虽然对学生有着负面影响，但也够帮助学生获取许多有用的知识。

手机作为高科技产物，确实可以给我们带来许多生活上的方便，我们可以通过手机及时与家长联系，也可以向老师汇报学习等。

但同学们经常将手机带到课堂上，上课时经常会有手机铃声响起，学生发短信，交头接耳地交流各自收到的有趣信息，打乱课堂秩序的现象已不偶然。且手机长期的辐射对学生的身体发育也不利。，手机辐射会对青少年脑部神经造成损害，引起头痛，记忆力减退和失眠等。而频繁玩手机游戏也有可能使孩子耳聋，并使我们的学习成绩下降，无心学习。

手机的种种利与弊，影响着同学们的学习与生活，我们应当正确的去使用，让它成为辅助我们学习的好帮手。

When I was seven,I started learning English.I played games and sang English songs with other children.Sometimes,I watched English cartoons.Its funny.Then I discovered the beauty of the language,and began my colorful dream in the English world.

I hope I can travel around the world someday.I want to go to America to visit Washington,because my cousin is over there.Of course,I want to go to London too,because England is where English language developed.If I can ride my bike in Cambridge University,I will be very happy.

I hope I can speak English with everyone in the world.Also Ill introduce China to them,such as the Great Wall,and the gardens in Suzhou.I will teaching people of the world about the beautiful language of our country.

I like the English language.To learn English is wonderful.I once wanted to be an English teacher.I also like Chinese literature.When I was really young, I was able to remember lots of poems.I also wanted to be a teacher of Chinese.Now I think that both of my dreams can come true:I will be able to use English to teach foreign friends Chinese and share Chinese culture with them.So that more and more people will be able to get to know the 5000 years history culture,and the prosperity of our great China.

My future is not a dream.I am confident that it will come true.

幸福是什么?与家人在一起是一种幸福，吃好吃的东西是幸福，与朋友一起玩耍是幸福，可大家不知道的是，其实学习也是一种幸福。

现在，很多学生是不喜欢学习的。在我身边，有些同学本是十分聪慧的，但在学习上不肯下功夫，怕吃苦，到头来学业无成，悲伤的只有自己。

可是，那些同学扪心自问一下，你们在老师上课的时候真的认真听讲了吗?课本上的课文都是经老师精心准备后才传授于你，老师们都怕课堂太枯燥，时不时会和大家开玩笑，这难道是无趣的吗?当遇到一道难题而成功把它解答时，这也是快乐的。

当你做到能够努力学习，认真复习，那么你的成绩也不会差。试卷发下来时，得心应手，成绩出来时又是一张张高分试卷。到那时，你就会意识到，学习，原来也很有趣。

有人觉得学习是一种煎熬，根本不想学习，殊不知那些生活在农村，家庭条件不好，没有钱去上学的孩子，他们觉得他们的生活没有学习就不充实。他们过生日和城里孩子截然不同，城里孩子的生日愿望和礼物不是衣服裤子就是手机、平板等奢侈品，而农村孩子的生日最大的愿望却是能得到一本书，能有一个文具盒、书包。每当人们给他们捐赠书本、书包时，他们都激动得跳起来，十分爱惜。能有人去给他们支教，他们都会感到十分幸福。

学习何尝不是一种幸福啊?我们为何还不去好好学习!将来能够为社会做出一点贡献，这样的人生也是值得的，这些难道不是学习带给我们的幸福吗?

It seems we are living in the conflict between modern and traditional

cultures every day. Hearing the blaring of horns the moment you step out of your

house, seeing the so called "pop" the moment you open your eyes, you cant help

thinking, "Will the traditional culture be gradually lost?"

Many people believe so. They may put right in front of you all the

evidences they can dig out. They may argue that people are rushing to

restaurants instead of cooking at home, listening to pop music but not

traditional, wearing in a way people couldnt imagine ten years ago. Modern

people like the air of freedom, not to be restrained by traditions. They offer

this long list, only trying to confirm that this world is full of

fashion,competition and temptation and the traditional culture is fading and

will be lost at last.

Though we are now living in a world in which undeclared aggression, war,

hypocrisy, chicanery, anarchy are part of our daily life. Though this is a

skeptical age, and our faith has weakened, our confidence in some aspects of the

traditional culture should and would never be lost.

Wouldnt you agree that our traditional culture is always credited with

modesty, politeness and respectfulness, which have always been treasured for

more than five thousand years?Even in this modern world, people still admire

those with good manners, those who are polite to others or respectful to old

people.

Wouldnt you agree that our Chinese traditional music is beautiful and

artistic and our Chinese tea culture is always an appealing treasure to people

around the world?

So there may just be some changes in our lifestyle or our attitudes towards

life, but little change occurs to some fundamental aspects of our traditional

culture that people still treasure in heart.

The traditional culture will never be lost, I believe.

Nowadays, more and more college students are taking part in work-study programs in their spare time. Many of them choose to be a tutor or doing a part-time job in school dining room or library. Also some others do a part-time delivering man or promotion specialist or other jobs alike.

There are mainly three different reasons for college students to take work-study program. First, to earn money is the main aim of many students, they want to relieve the burden on their family by doing a part-time job. Second, some students take work-study programs as a channel by which know the society and improve their practical skills. Third, still other students doing part-time job just for fun or kill time.

From my point of view, it goes without saying that college students can benefit a lot from work-study programs. However, those students who get part-time jobs should keep it in mind that study is prior to anything else. Besides, they should spend their income from part-time job reasonably.

一本好书、一则温暖的故事，给人以疏导、滋润和培养的力量。我喜欢畅游在书的海洋中，而在阅读过的所有书中，带给我影响最大的一本是——《我和爸妈是好朋友》。

读完了这本书，让我深刻感受到有一种爱，它是伟大的，不求回报的，它就是宽广无边的父爱。其中，有一篇文章写的是一位父亲到圩上卖竹萝，因为卖得太晚了，而赶不上最迟的那班车，而他又舍不得把卖竹萝挣到的五元钱拿去乘坐公交车，所以他宁可走路回家，也不愿花掉那五元钱。后来，他回到家的时候，已经过了一天一夜了。他回到家的第一件事，就是拿着在兜里揣着皱巴巴五元钱递给了儿子，让他买自己的学习用品。当时，我看得热泪满眶，在这个世界上，让我感受到父母的爱是多么伟大无私！

父母赐予我们的生命，养育我们，使我们健康快乐地生活，茁壮地成长，他们付出的爱是无法衡量的。如今，却有不少人理所当然地接受父母的爱，甚至在父母对他们的爱出现一点纰漏时，还理直气壮地指责父母。这样的人无疑是悲哀的，他们不懂得感恩，不懂得设身处地为父母着想。父母对我的关爱，我们应报以感恩的心！所以，我想推荐这本好书让大家看看。

“谁言寸草心，报得三春晖”，让我们珍惜亲人的爱，珍惜亲人给予我们的一切。

With the development of Internet, more and more people tend to shop on the

Internet. Online shopping has provided some benefits for us, but it also has

some disadvantages at the same time.

For one thing, online shopping has brought some convenience for consumers.

Instead of going one shop to another, people can choose and buy all kinds of

commodities they like as long as they click the mouse gently. This is not only a

better choice for the old who do not have enough energy to go outside but also a

great convenience for those who have no time to go shopping in person. In

addition, consumers have more choices and can do some comparison when they are

shopping on the Internet. They can glance over various commodities in all

shapes, sizes and colors and decided to buy or not. Furthermore, online shopping

has made a great contribution to the development of express delivery

industry.

However, for another, shopping on the Internet also has some shortcomings.

Firstly, those who shop on the Internet can’t try the goods before they buy.

Sometimes, the real goods are not the same as the goods they see on the

Internet. Secondly, some shops on the Internet are dishonest and they would not

deliver the goods after paying. And if this situation happens, the consumers

would find nowhere to complain and never pull out the money any longer.

Therefore, we should pay more attention when shopping on the Internet.

因为梦想，所以选择远方;因为无所依靠，所以必须坚强。

——题记

那日的雨，清了我的耳，洗了我的眼;那只羽蝶，催下我的泪，动了我的心……那日的一切一切，仿佛羽蝶是主角，而导演是坚强。

雨淅淅沥沥，缠缠绵绵，却是滋润了万物。本是一场好雨，却愈下愈大，甚至让人有点厌烦。但生活不会一直苦下去，总会有一些美好眷顾着你。

没有伞的孩子，在雨中必须奋力奔跑。但当我正要跑回家时，那浓密的草丛中，绿得醉人，因为有那抹阳光，那只羽蝶扇出金色的坚强。豆大的雨点砸在她身上，她身子弱小，但不是夏日，还真难发现，她的翅膀上沾满了雨水，但翅膀却不停微微扇动，她用矮小的足奋力飞起，却是让层“雨衣”压得喘不过气来，她跃跃欲试了好几次，却始终没能打败风雨。我淡淡一笑。“三指宽的蝶终是打不过狂风暴雨……”我心里直嘀咕。

也许是雨小了，也许是我想错了;也许是上天可怜她……她用尽全部力量在后足上，只见翅膀一振，雨水掉了，难道她成功了?她奋力扑翅，我懂得，那是成功的前奏。我带着满怀希望的笑注视着。突然，羽蝶上方那根又长又粗的枝干，上面的大树叶抖了抖身子，一颗大雨珠向她扑去……重重地、狠狠地，毫不留情的砸在她身上。可怜的小蝶，怕是连最后一丝希望也没了吧。不!绝不放弃!她又抖了抖身子，减少身上的雨水，她静了一会儿，像在为最后一搏积蓄能量。她面向风雨，绽开笑颜，扑开双翅，纵身一跃，她成功了!殊不知，此时的我早已泪流满面……

风静，雨停。小蝶在风雨中给我上了人生坚强之课，她向我诠释了什么是坚强。天上有着隐隐约约的彩色，那是彩虹。她在风雨中笑着向我挥了挥手，朝着梦想的远方越飞越高……那份坚强，早已成了空中最鲜艳的色彩，最靓丽的风景线。

向那份坚强学习，永远不忘初心。我定当胸中有丘壑，明月振山河!

Spring Festival is coming,I am very happy.On this winter holiday,I went to

visit my grandparents with my parents. My grandmother is very zeal.Our dinner is

very delicious.After the dinner,the people gave me money in red envelopes.I am

very happy in this family with my grandparents.

Sometimes,we go to climb the mountains.The mountain is very high.Look!There

is a clean river near the mountain.And there are some beautiful flowers,grass

and big trees.Some trees are orange trees,the others are banana trees.Oh,I am

very tired but interesting.

I am very happy on this holiday because I like Spring Festival very

much.What about you?

In my hometown, the air is polluted seriously. However, in recent years,

the pollution gets from bad to worse, because of the increasing number of

private cars. Especially during the rush hours, too many private vehicles move

slowly on narrow roads, emitting a large amount of waste gas. Moreover, the

poisonous gas sent by the nearby factories is also one of the main causes of

pollution. Therefore, it’s demanded that immediate and effective measures must

be taken to restrict private cars and public transportation must be developed to

the largest extent. Besides, we should use renewable and clean energy

recourses.

One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that

he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley. A large crowd gathered and

they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in

it. Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever

seen. The young man was very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful

heart.

Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said, "Why your

heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine." The crowd and the young man looked at

the old mans heart. It was beating strongly, but full of scars, it had places

where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didnt fit quite

right and there were several jagged edges. In fact, in some places there were

deep gouges where whole pieces were missing.

The people stared — how can he say his heart is more beautiful, they

thought? The young man looked at the old mans heart and saw its state and

laughed. "You must be joking," he said. "Compare your heart with mine, mine is

perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears."

"Yes," said the old man, "Yours is perfect looking but I would never trade

with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love —

I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a

piece of their heart which fits into the empty place in my heart, but because

the pieces arent exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they

remind me of the love we shared. Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away,

and the other person hasnt returned a piece of his heart to me. These are the

empty gouges — giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are

painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these people too,

and I hope someday they may return and fill the space in my heart. So now do you

see what true beauty is? "

The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks. He walked

up to the old man, reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart, and

ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man with trembling hands.

The old man took his offering, placed it in his heart and then took a piece

from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young mans heart.

It fit, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges. The young man looked

at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from

the old mans heart flowed into his. They embraced and walked away side by

side.

今天是父亲节，我想送给爸爸一个特殊的父亲节礼物，送什么才是特殊的呢？想来想去，我想到了，我可以做道菜给爸爸吃。

做什么菜呢？想了半天我决定就炒一道美味土豆丝！说干就干，我从橱柜下面的袋子里挑了四个大大的土豆，认真地削起了皮，削好之后又把他们放在水龙头下面冲干净，然后我又拿了几只辣椒洗干净。该切菜了，我先把辣椒切成一小块一小块的，很快就切完了，我不禁想：切菜还挺容易的。可是很快，切土豆却把我难住了，一切一滑，特别费力，还好几次差点切到了手指。好不容易切完了，我疲惫地放下菜刀，长长地舒了口气。

低头一看，我切的哪是土豆丝啊，分明是板凳腿，长的长、短的短、粗的粗、细的细……哎。

准备就绪后，我把火一打，油一倒，火急火燎地把菜和辣椒倒了进去，拿着铲子学着妈妈平时炒菜的样子翻了起来，土豆丝和辣椒在几个回合之后呈现出了亮黄色，我心想，炒好了一定很好吃，就一边翻菜一边美滋滋地唱起了歌。没想到，一滴油一下子蹦进我的嘴里，把我烫得龇牙咧嘴，赶紧丢下铲子跑到外面喝了好几口冷水，这才好点。突然，我闻到了一股怪味，遭了！我的菜！我连忙跑到厨房，用铲子把菜了翻了两下，就发现有一部分已经黑了。我又赶紧手忙脚乱的放上了各种调料，然后拿筷子尝了一根，太淡，我又加了一勺盐翻了两下把火关掉，小心翼翼地把菜盛到盘子里。

晚上，爸爸回来后，看到我为他炒的菜，问今天是什么日子，我跟爸爸说：“今天是父亲节，这是我给你的特殊的父亲节礼物。”爸爸听了后非常的开心，把我炒的菜全部都吃了。

Today is the first day of te new term. I got up early and checked my wintcr vacation homework before going to sclool.

While I was busy clearing up the books, Father came in with a glass of milk in his hand, Drink it up, boy .Father said to me gently.

I was in such a hurry that Ipaid no attention whether the milk was hot or not. I drank a mouthful and cried with the sound of the broken glass. What’s the matter.? Father asked anxiously. You didn’t tell me the milk was so hot. I got a blister through being scalded. Oh, it’s my fault. Are you Ok? Father turned to the kitchen after he was certain there was nothing serious with me, There is some more in the kitchen. I’ll bring it for you. Wait for me. I’II be back soon.

I was so angry with Father that I saidNo. I won’t be scalded again. Then I put all I wanted into my bag and wanted to go to school without breakfast. But I was astonished at what I saw when I turned around. Father was cooling the milk by pouring it from one glass to the other again and again. Don’t worry. It’ll be Ok soon. It’s bad for your health without breakfast. Father said with a smile of apology. Tears came into my eyes. How rude I was just now! How regretful I was! I took the glass from my father’s hand and drank it up without a stop.

What a good father I have!
