高一英语日记（通用20篇）

MondaySeptember1,20__weather：__

This is my day. Im very busy, but very happy. I got up at 6:45. I had

breakfast at 7:10 with my parents. I said “Good morning!” to my parents. My

parents smiled. I went to school at 7:30. I said “Hello! Good morning!” to my

friends. I had English class at 8:40.At noon, I had lunch. In the evening, I had

dinner at 6:30. I did my homework at 7:00. I went to bed at 10:00.This is my

day!

Ah ha,when I get up,it was time for lunch.But I really have a lot of work to do,I must write words and English dairy,then learned"Li yang"English, and then.

Oh,my god,if I do it in the afternoon,I will ready to dead.So I wrote words, and now Im writing my English dairy.Wish I could finish these works today. Bye!

In the morning, I was sleeping quarters, stretching, heard outside the rain rustling underground. I looked at the table before 6:10! Its on the bed!

Dont get up, think of todays social practice? (because the rain outside is too big), the outside window is pouring downpour, the dormitory is quiet, has not enjoyed for a long time to lie in bed in the heavy rain time, listens to the heavy rain sound this kind of relaxes the feeling. High school learning is really hard tension, forget this feeling, become insensitive! When can I grow up! Depressed.

At noon, it was not surprising that I was still in this place. (cattle mouth, in the place of practice, I believe everyone knows this place!) The sky is very dark, does not seem to welcome us! Soon, it began to rain, and then it turned into a torrential rain. See other people busy and running around looking for a place to take shelter from the rain, and I was walking in the rain, the rain is wet, but I am still very happy, because the rain is really wonderful, looking at the distant mountains, smoke, water flow, I suddenly felt the rain became my friend. I bury it long silent heart, makes me carefree; it washes all my life, let me regain confidence; with it selfless rain, to clear my head. Everything was so nice! All of a sudden, I looked around and found that only one of me was enjoying a happy rain in the heavy rain. A few lovers were still walking in the rain in the distance.

Afternoon, I ran busy all day, tired of lying in bed, thinking of what happened today and one scene, out of the window, the rain still Vujacic underground, friends with me to sleep!

Many people believe that having a lot of money is the greatest happiness in

life. But I dont agree with them, because money is not everything. Money cant

make us a true man.

The way I see it, good health is much better than a lot of wealth. No

matter how much money we have, we’ll not feel happy at all if we are in poor

health. In order to be healthy, we must keep a positive attitude and have a good

living habit.

Apart from good health, we must be diligent at work. As long as we work

hard, we cannot just make a good living, but enrich our minds.

Additionally, we ought to give our helpful hands to others when they are in

need. While helping others, we can own a good fame as well as get more social

experience. Its really a good way to kill two birds with one stone. Only by

doing so can we enjoy the happiest life.

过年了!过年了!家家户户包饺子，我们家也不例外.........

大年三十，我来到了爷爷家，看到奶奶正在厨房全神贯注地包饺子，我心想：“在爷爷家怎么玩都没意识思，我干些什么好呢?哎，对了，包饺子多简单，今天我就要包几十个给大家伙吃!”没想到看似简单，包起来却是难上加难呐!

首先我把面粉里加上水在盆子里揉了几分钟，揉得又软又粘为此，其次，把面捏成一个空心儿的圆圈，切成一小块一小块的，把它按成实心儿的圆圈，撒上面粉，面就和好了。开始包饺子了，我左手拿着饺子皮，右手拿着勺子挖馅儿，第一次挖得馅儿太多了，保不住，馅都漏出来了，第二次，挖得馅又太少了，包完看起来，就像一位老人几年没吃东西似的，肚皮紧帖着后背，爷爷看了坏笑着说：“你给我们家省了那么多的馅儿，不表扬不行呀!还得发一个节省王的冠军呀。”我知道爷爷在笑我包得馅太少了，如果跟奶奶比赛，我第一轮就被淘汰了。

过了半个多小时，奶奶包了九十多个，我却包了十五个，而且形状“千姿百态”，“个种个样”，真是悲哀呀。为了证明谁更有福气，我就在第十个饺子里放了一个1元钱的硬币，谁能吃到硬币，谁就有福气。

奶奶把饺子倒进沸腾的锅里，只见许许多多的饺子在沸腾的水里遥遥摆摆，像一艘艘小船在大海里来回飘荡。饺子熟喽!奶奶把香喷喷的饺子捞在盘子里，大家都狼吞虎咽地吃开了.........

欢声笑语在爷爷家久久回荡!

There is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world.

Without it, life will be empty and meaningless. If you wish to know how to get

happiness, you must pay attention to the following two points.

First, health is the secret of happiness (the key to happiness). Only a

strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life.

Secondly, happiness consists in contentment. A man who is dissatisfied with

his present condition is always in distress.

无疑的快乐是世界上最宝贵的东西。没有它，人生将是空虚的而且毫无意义的。如果你希望知道如何获得快乐，你须注意下面两点。

健康是快乐的要诀。唯有身体强壮的人才能享受人生的乐趣。

快乐在于知足。一个不满于现状的人终是处在痛苦之中。

Dear Jack,

Im glad to have received your e-mail but I am sorry you are having some

trouble in making friends.

In my opinion, friendship is one of the most important things in everyones

life because without friends we will suffer loneliness. If you would like to

take my advice, youll win real friendship. First, why not communicate with your

friend when possible and tell him/her what you think about friends and

friendship and let him/her know that you want to make friends with him/her.

Secondly, you should learn to share your happiness and sorrow with your friends.

Thirdly, it would be a good idea if you like to invite him/her to join in some

activities such as swimming and ball games, which can make you learn to

appreciate your friends and cherish your friendship.

I hope you will find these opinions and ideas useful. Best wishes!

今天是我实习的第一天，经理主要是让我们熟悉产品。第一次接触全英文的产品的确非常的不熟悉，感觉无从下手，我用了基本上一天的时间来看我们公司的产品册。通过不断的看产品册，对产品有了个大概的了解。

同时，经理带着我熟悉了下办公环境，我对公司的工作环境非常的满意。就这样我开始了我的第一份工作。很兴奋，也很期待。

今天对我来说最大的收获就是开始了我的上班生涯，感觉非常的兴奋。在一天的工作中，我对商务上的英语有了一定的认识，很多产品用的都不是某个单词的本意，而是引申意，这点让我在认识产品的时候非常的困难。还好有经理的帮忙。我从事的这个工作在某些方面来说是非常枯燥的，每天7个小时都盯在电脑上，眼睛非常的累。但是我相信我能坚持下去。

2月28日

今天我们开始认识外贸操作平台，经理介绍到，现在的主流外贸平台有Alibaba, Made-In-China, Globalsource等等，我们用的是Alibaba，我们的任务就是熟悉这个操作平台，熟悉它的流程还有方式，经理还给我们讲解了各个部分都是干什么用的，哪个是用来上传产品的，哪个是用来查看本行业的进出口信息的。最后经理让我们自己熟悉下，随便看看，了解它的大环境，为后来的工作打下基矗

今天我才发现原来做外贸是在阿里巴巴上面做，整的跟淘宝似的。只不过原先在淘宝上我是买家，现在变成了卖家了。感觉眼花缭乱的，不过令我欣慰的是，至少里面还有点中文，我看还是中文的舒坦埃外国人要是全用中文谈业务那该有多好埃我们的国家赶紧发展壮大吧，以后让所有的外国人都来学习中文。

2月29日

今天我的主要任务是上传产品，通过阿里巴巴平台把我公司的产品上传上去，并在平台上展示出来，以便使家方便看到。经理给了我三个产品让我先熟悉下，并参考其他公司上传的内容把这三个也上传上去，通过比较，我渐渐的掌握了上传的方式和内容。

有个操作平台做起工作来就是方便，这样做起贸易来确实是方便了很多。

今天我最大的收获是知道了怎么上传产品，原来现在的外贸是这么来做的啊，我还以为做外贸是一个非常非常困难的工作呢。看来自从有了商务平台之后外贸工作简单了很多。

通过上传产品来熟悉业务是我当前的工作，同时，也不能忽视了外贸函电的写作，因为马上就得用上了 。

3月1日

今天主要是维护产品，并且保证它的更新率。把网上的数据进行归类，整理，最后整理出现在最符合的条件，然后放到我们的网站上去。整理关键词，把世界买家的关键词整理下来，一便有目的地放产品。

最后的任务还是尽快的熟悉阿里巴巴平台，掌握操作方法。尽快的熟悉外贸业务，我们做外贸业务员的，应该时常保持一个进取的心灵，这样才能更好的做好外贸。

外贸就是通过互联网找来一大批数据，然后在里面筛选出有用的来，这是一个繁琐而又无聊的工作。不知道其他的大公司是怎么样办公的，难道也是这样子的吗?真的是太累人了，我眼睛的度数因为整天瞅电脑瞅的都上去了。有空得去配上一副防辐射的眼镜，整天这么盯着电脑可不是个办法。

3月2日

今天经理带着我们去了阿里巴巴的培训部门进行了专业的阿里巴巴培训。培训了一下午的时间，听着老师在前面讲解怎么样运用好阿里巴巴平台，真的是受益匪浅啊，里面各个方面都有各个方面的用途，每个用途都是特别的重要的。

例如，动态产品的展示，橱窗产品的摆放，还有展示产品的详细参数设置等等很多。

通过这次阿里巴巴的培训，我对阿里巴巴有了个更加深度的了解。阿里巴巴在海外设立美国硅谷、伦敦等分支机构。阿里巴巴是全球企业间(B2B)电子商务的著名品牌，是目前全球最大的网上贸易市常良好的定位，稳固的结构，优秀的服务使阿里巴巴成为全球首家拥有211万商人的电子商务网站，成为全球商人网络推广的首选网站，被商人们评为"最受欢迎的B2B网站"。

3月5日

今天我开始在网上找客户，经理教给我们用谷歌，毕竟在国际市场上谷歌还是最有分量的。在发邮件上，经理说，最好里面不要有超链接，有的时候带超链接的话，对方系统会默认为垃圾邮件的。

我自己试着在网上找了下，发现客户信息确实是很多，在杂乱无章的信息中找出自己需要的来还真的不是一件很容易的事情呢。

谷歌确实非常强大，如果掌握了一定的搜索方法的话找个客户还是能找出来的。比如说在搜索栏里面输入买家的公司名称+email就有很大的几率出来这个公司的email地址。

看来搜索引擎里面也有很大的学问埃我需要学的东西还有很多呢，以前就只是在百度里搜索点小东西，这回终于发现了，原来搜索引擎是这么的强大。

3月6日

昨天找到的客户今天发开发信，我按照经理给的模版发了一份给各个客户。唉，像这种小公司做外贸确实是不好做啊，啥也没有，让人真是头疼。后来我逛了逛福步论坛，我发现了自己开发信的不足，那就是我们发的开发信普遍的长篇大论，先是问好，然后介绍自己公司，然后推荐产品，最后落款。但是论坛上的长辈们说这种写法早就过时了。现在的写法都是简单几句话把自己的事情交代完毕。

想想也是的，国外的公司有可能一天收好几百封邮件，写的长篇大论没人给看的，不直接拉到垃圾邮件里就是好的了。

我们学的外贸函电里面的东西现在说来都有点过时了，反正我是这么觉得的。有次我按外贸函电的格式写的开发信给经理，经理直接打回来了——重写!

寒假生活就像一块五彩缤纷的鹅卵石，少了几分紧张的`气氛，多了一些轻松和愉快。

寒假里，我在浩瀚的书海中尽情地遨游着。书，就像一位智慧老人在启蒙我、教导我。书，又像一位忠实的朋友，陪伴着我，和我面对面地交流。我最喜欢去图书网下载图书看，那里的电子书既可以在线阅读，也可以下载到电脑硬盘里慢慢欣赏，阅读起来非常方便。古人说“书中自有黄金屋”，这句话说得不假，寒假里，我在电脑上读完了《假如给我三天光明》、《木偶奇遇记》和《成语故事》，我被他们不畏困难，顽强不屈的精神深深感动了。

在读书之余，我玩得很开心。我和小伙伴们有时打打羽毛球，有时去游泳、滑冰，最开心的要数跳绳了。轮到我跳时，我深深地吸了一口气，紧握绳柄，等大伙儿喊“开始”，我便甩动双臂，一下一下地跳了起来。小伙伴们在一旁大声喊：“加油，婷婷;加油，婷婷……”听到小伙伴们的加油声，我跳得更快了。我们快乐的欢笑声在空中回荡。

每当我看见妈妈在不停地洗洗刷刷时，我就会上前来帮着做家务。我像一只勤劳的小蜜蜂，来来往往，又是拖地又是擦桌子，不一会儿，就累得腰酸腿痛，坐在椅子上直喘气。爸爸妈妈看见了，连忙乐呵呵地夸道：“我们的女儿真是长大了，会帮我们分担工作了，真不错!”我听了，顿时忘记了劳累，心里甜滋滋的。

啊，这个寒假过得真有意义!

Today I found time was a cruel thing. Whatever man is, time always goes on. It won’t stay to wait for somebody. You can’t use anything to exchange time. Time is also a fair thing. Although you have a lot of money or you enjoy high reputation, time won’t leave them more. Today I found I hadn’t enough time. Although I have 50-day holiday, but I found I had a lot of things to do. I had a lot of homework to do and I had something necessary to do.

“叮咛”、“叮咛”上课铃声响了，今天第一节课就是我喜欢的英语课，我们的英语老师，束老师满脸笑容的走进了教室。

老师像往常一样首先带我们复习了前一个单元的内容，紧接着老师让我们一个一个打背书，老师抽查到我背书的时候，我不慌不忙的背起了课文，背完之后，老师还夸我：“不错，不过还要再熟练一点。”

抽查完背诵之后，英语老师就让我们代开书第42页上新的一颗，今天的内容是教我们认识水果，比如苹果用英语说：“apple”、香蕉用英语说：“banana”等！原来这些水果用英语说出来是这么多好听！

今天课堂上老师还让我们同桌之间相互表演课文内容的小对话，我扮演的角色是妈妈，张永祥扮演的是Sarah，我们都很用心地在表演着这段对话，老师站在一旁默默看着我们的表演，对我们做出一副夸赞我们的表情，我当时看着老师心里非常的开心。

其实每一节英语课我都觉得很有趣，也很认真的听老师讲课，我喜欢英语我要好好的学习英语，要像我们束老师一样说一口流利的英语，长大以后能到国外去看看。

The end of the summer, should have a good rest! But my mother is very busy.

译文：终于放暑假了，应该好好歇歇了!可是妈妈很忙。作为女儿的我当然要帮妈妈分担些了。一大清早的我就起来了，帮妈妈洗碗，扫地，做饭等等，到了中午，我快累死了，往床上一躺，扇扇电风扇，舒服多了。

Today, my cousin came to visit our house.

At home, his cousin said, "what are we playing?" I said, "play with my

drone." Then we went to play on the lawn.

When he got there, his cousin began to play. The plane flew higher and

higher, and it was higher than the tree. I said to my cousin, "let me play." My

cousin said, "good." I snapped the remote, and the plane flew up, and it fell

down again.

"Control the remote control slowly and slowly," said cousin. I tried again,

and it worked.

What a big gain I got today!

今天，表弟来我们家做客。

在家里，他表弟说：“我们在玩什么?” 我说，“玩我的无人机。” 然后我们就去草坪上玩了。

当他到达那里时，他的表弟开始玩了。飞机飞得越来越高，比树还高。我对表弟说：“让我玩吧。” 表弟说：“好。”

我折断遥控器，飞机飞起来，又掉下来了。

“慢慢控制遥控器，”表弟说。我又试了一次，它奏效了。

我今天的收获好大啊!

五月是孩子们的天堂，抛掉厚重的棉衣棉帽，跑到田野里尽情的撒欢儿，用柳笛唱一支春天的歌;五月是青年人的日子，春潮涌动的时节，执子之手，与子同行，撷下春天里的玫瑰点缀爱的天空;五月是老年人的节日，踏着一路路春光，和着一串串鸟鸣，到刚刚解冻的湖面垂钓人生……五月，全体人民的日子——全世界劳动人民的节日。

劳动人民是世界上-伟大的人民，他们用劳动创造了世界，创造了人类，创造了我们今天的幸福生活。是劳动，建成了今天的万丈高楼;是劳动，筑就了现代化的信息高速公路;是劳动，让偌大的地球变成了一个小小的村落;是劳动，使浩翰的荒原变成了亩亩良田。

劳动是神奇的，劳动是伟大的。劳动者用勤劳的双手和智慧，编织了这个五彩班斓的世界，创造了人类的文明。让我们在这个特别的日子里，向全世界的劳动者致敬!

在充满真情的五月，紧握你因劳动而开满茧花的手，送上我-真心的祝福，聆听你劳动的赞歌。“长亭外，古道边，芳草碧连天”是一种人生;“凭栏处，潇潇雨歇”是一种人生;“到中流击水，浪遏飞舟”是一种人生;“默默无闻，无私奉献”也是一种人生。种.种人生，劳动如咖啡里的方糖，把我们的人生调得有滋有味;劳动如路旁的一帧风景，把我们的人生装扮得亮丽多彩。

五月，真情五月。在楼外高楼，在亭外长亭，让我们手挽手，肩并肩，豪情万丈，血气方刚的唱一首大江东去，把全世界劳动者的心愿送给远方，送给明天。让我们为明天喝彩，为五月高歌，为劳动者击掌!
