热爱生活积极向上的英语作文【合集20篇】

My teachers are excellent.They help me to improve.They are very patient and kind. My classmates are good friends.We often study together.We always help each other out. We are like a team.We play games and enjoy activities.We laugh and have fun when we can.

My schoolwork keeps me busy.I have homework every day.I have quizzes and tests all the time. I like learning new things.I know knowledge is power.I m preparing for the future. My school is like a family.It s like a home away from home.I hope you feel the same way about your school.

In my understanding, if we refer to an ideal University life as a formal western dinner, then a high GPA, that is, Grade Point Average, should be the main course, while an active part in activities, together with associations, means the appetizer. Some romances, of course, play the role as desserts. They are the 3 key elements for an ideal University life.

Those, however, are not what University life is all about. As we all know, University is wildly different from middle school. It connects not only adolescence to adulthood, but also the ivory tower to the real society. Therefore, the ideal University life is that I become matured both physically and mentally, and that I obtain qualified academic knowledge and get well prepared for society at the same time.

Under this circumstance, I never expect my University life to be too ideal, or you can call it too perfect. It is not realistic to make all things on my own way, with everyone liking me, winning the first prize all the time, and so on. Of course, I’d like to lead a carefree life. However, this does little good to my future. What really helps is hardships like failure, betrayal, and unjust treatment. Only after experiencing those can I know what society is like, and what life is like.

To conclude my speech, I wanna say, some positive experiences are surely part of the ideal University life. But, I should not forget about the negative sides. They are not less necessary.

古玩市场无疑是古玩最多的地方。今天，我就和刘欢一起参观了这个古玩市场。

我们轻轻推开一家华丽的店铺，走进了去。迎接我们的，是一位身着名牌西装，戴着一副金丝眼镜的胖老板，老板很和气，胖胖的脸上笑眯眯地，眼睛都弯成了月牙状。“小朋友，你们要买什么呀？”老板亲切地问道。“哦，看看古钱币。”我随口答道。“要看古钱币呀，我这儿的古钱币是市场里最多的，你们看看，有喜欢的就买下来。”老板一边说着，一边把柜子里的古钱币全都拿了出来，这些古钱币都看上去很新，而且包装精美，卖价很贵。“对了，你们玩古钱币吗？”老板突然问道。“我们不玩，但我的爷爷喜欢收藏。”刘欢边看边回答。我看见那胖老板的手很明显地迟疑了一下，然后就毫不犹豫的把古钱币收了起来，胖胖的脸上那和气的笑容，一下子消失得无影无踪了。“出去！出去！你们不玩古钱币，就不要进来打扰我做生意！”胖老板大吼着把我们赶了出去。又去了几家店，每一家店的老板都在听到我们只看不买后，生气地把我们赶了出去。

就在我们心灰意冷，对古玩市场，这个充满利益和金钱的地方失望透顶，打算参观最后一间古色古香的小店后就离开时，这家店的店主，一位白发苍苍，手拄拐杖，弯腰驼背的老人，却热情地招待了我们。“现在真正热爱古钱币的年轻人，真是越来越少啦，现在的市场里讲的都是金钱，哪怕有一个热爱古钱币的年轻人来我店里，哪怕不买，我都会为他讲讲古钱币的历史。唉……”老人感叹道。“你们喜欢古钱币吗？”老人和蔼地问道。“你们要是喜欢，我就挑选两枚，然后给你们讲讲它们的历史吧。”说完，老人亲自为挑选了两枚古朴大方古钱币，又绘声绘色的讲解了起来，我听得入了迷，仿佛身临奇迹，老人讲完后，我久久不能回过神来……

这次去古玩市场，我的感受很大，但更多的还是震惊。面对高价格的古玩，又有多少商家能够放下对金钱的渴望，从历史上去真正热爱它呢？在以后的日子里，我一定会把古玩的历史告诉更多的人，让越来越多的人喜欢上古玩，热爱上古玩！

I Love My Country

I am born inChina, it is a great country, it has more than 5,000 years’ history, I am soproud of my country. China has the world’s largest population, our culture isprofound and owns variety, every time when I talk about Chinese culture to theforeign people, they speak highly of Chinese culture. I love China so much.

参考译文：

我生在中国，中国是一个伟大的国家，它有超过五千年的历史，我为我的祖国赶到自豪。中国有着世界上最大的人口，我们的文化深厚，并且具有多样性，每当我和外国人谈论中国的文化时，他们高度评价中国的文化。我深爱我的祖国。

Since I was at school, I have heard a lot about college. A boy near my

house is in college now, every time I meet him, I will ask him how he feels

about campus life, he smiles and tells me many funny things.The ideal college

has been built in my mind. There is beautiful trees and flours, boys and girls

talk and walk happily, they share things together, students and teachers discuss

course. In the lake, some students talk to foreigners, what an enjoyable

situation. In order to go to my ideal college, I must work hard.

人生就像一艘游轮。它承载着很多东西，有朋友的友情、父母的期望、有自己的理想……它会让你体会到前所未有的感觉，只要你珍惜它，它将还你一片绿荫。每个人都拥有在自己的人生白纸上尽情绘画铺洒的权利，无论成果如何，它都是你最珍贵的体验!就像诺贝尔所说的：生命，那是自然赏赐给人类去雕琢的宝石。所以我们要张开双臂，去拥抱生命、热爱生命!

最近，丹东市就发生了一件惊天动地的事。我市的第二中学一名女学生跳楼自杀!她轻易放弃了自己的花样年华。这件事情让我感触极深，十八岁的青春年华就这样消失，而且再不复返。她就如此简单地了却了自己的一生，又何曾考虑过关心她的父母，朋友。他们将多么伤心呀!给予她生命的父母将她含辛茹苦地养育了十八年许，指望着她日后能够上一个好大学，能有一份好的工作，然后让她的父母安享晚年。可这一切都在那个女孩跳下的一瞬间化为了泡影，美好的期盼一瞬间灰飞烟灭，从此走向了绝望黑暗的生活!那个女孩又可曾想过她那即将步入老年的父母亲，他们将多么绝望。她可以自私地离开，可以自私地抛弃一切，但她周边的人们将多么惋惜，多么悲伤。当她纵身一跳，她是离开了一时的难过，但她却放弃了一生的快乐，人生中还有无数新鲜的事物等待她去探索发现，可她却轻易地放弃了她本该继续快乐的权利。十八岁正是大好时光，正是人生中的黄金时段，今后的一切生活也许就在这里改变，她完全可以去拼搏，去努力得到自己的快乐，为何又要轻言放手呢?人生中有千千万万的坎坷与挫折，只要怀满信心地去面对，总能看见风雨后的彩虹，为何一定要用如此极端的方式去解决?

难道生命就是这样可以无视的吗?不是!英国著名小说家——丹麦尔·笛福的著名小说《鲁滨孙漂流记》中的主人公，他就是独自一人在荒无人烟的想到上生活了二十八年之久，但他从未想过放弃。反而开辟出了一片新的天地，他一点点蓄养山羊，去学会种植麦子，甚至教化了野人“星期五”让他学会了说话。这是多么乐观的精神呀!他从未放弃过生的希望，这就是自信的表现，这就是求生的欲望。我们又有何理由轻言放弃生命?

是的，挫折并不可怕，可怕的事思想的残疾。卓越的人最大的优点是在不利的艰难的境遇里百折不挠，不放弃，不因一点挫折而放弃生命。

生命是人幸福的最基本的条件，没了生命你将失去一切。虽然人生中有许多的不如意，但又有什么?跌倒了，拍拍身上的灰从头再来。拿破仑也曾说过：“人生的光荣，不在永远不失败，而在于能够屡扑屡起”生活中就是要时刻抱着希望，才能看到明天的朝阳!珍爱生命，热爱生活，抬起头来，迎接明天更美好的太阳!

On a moonlit night, our whole family sat around the yard, shared the nature and broke the peace of the whole night.

I suggested, "lets come to guessing the riddle." Everyone agreed. I wanted to give you guess, I casually said: "bite off the tail, guess a word." His brother hurried to say, "the" cow "removed the upper vertical noon of the noon? Your riddle is too simple. " I was proud to say, "youve guessed wrong. Im talking about a cow tail. Now and then, you get rid of the bulls head. Whats that?" At this time, everyone was laughed at. After my reminding, my brother suddenly realized, "I know, to remove the bottom of the cow, and change into mouth is notice ." I looked at my brother with a glare of praise: "smart ghost, right."

Then its time for mom to make riddles. She thought, "a Japanese, with a knife, killed a person, left four drops of blood, and guess a word." At this time, my brother just answer correctly, to chair up and fell, the mood of what makes us uproarious. The mother is carefree and content to nibbling the seeds. I think my mothers riddle is four words, it should be composed of four parts of the word, suddenly, I think of the answer, quickly said: "I know," according to the lighting is, Day mouth knife together as half part the four drop is four point bottom, right?" At this time I was proud.. the guessing game ended in a piece of laughter.

How wonderful and happy the night is!

在一个月光皎洁的夜晚，我们全家人围坐在院子里其乐融融，共享天伦，打破了整个夜晚的宁静。

我提议说：“我们来猜谜语吧。”大家一致赞同。先由我来给大家猜，我随口说道：“一口咬掉尾巴，猜一个字。”弟弟连忙说：“‘牛’去掉上面一竖不时中午的‘午’吗？你出的谜语太简单了。”我得意地说：“你猜错了，我说的是牛尾巴，不时牛头，你把牛头去掉，那算什么？”这时，大家都被逗得哈哈大笑。经过我的提醒，弟弟恍然大悟：“我知道了，把‘牛’的下面一竖去掉，换成‘口’就是‘告’。”我用赞许的目光看了看弟弟：“机灵鬼，答对了。”

接下来该轮到妈妈出谜语了，她想了想说：“一个日本人，拿着一把刀，杀了一口人，留下四滴血，猜一个字。”这时，弟弟因为刚刚答对了一题，高兴地把椅子一翘，摔了一跤，那狼狈不堪的样子逗得我们捧腹大笑。而妈妈却悠然自得地嗑着瓜子。我想，妈妈出的谜语是四句话，就应该是四个部分组成的字，突然，我想到了答案，急忙说：“我知道了，是照明的‘照’，‘日’‘刀’‘口’拼起来就是‘照’的上半部分，四滴血就是四点底，对吧？”这时的我得意极了······猜谜语游戏在一片欢声笑语中结束了。

今天的夜晚是多么美好，多么幸福啊！

也许不知什么时候昨天还欢笑的脸，今天就已消失不见，昨天还充满活力的身影，今天就只剩下冰冷的躯壳，昨天还怦怦搏动的心，今天就已经停止跳动。生命是如此沉重，沉重得让我不敢正视。

然而，现实中有人却会毫不留恋地舍弃自己的生命，令人震惊，令人惋惜。中国由于交通每年交通事故50万起，事故每年死亡超过10万人，占全球交通事故死亡人数的五分之一，居世界各国之首。中国每年交通事故50万起，，相当于一个小型县。 据统计数据表明，每5分钟就有一人丧身车轮，每1分钟都会有一人因为交通事故而伤残。每年因交通事故所造成的经济损失达数百亿元。 我通过这几节课我知道了安全的重要，仅仅交通事故就10万人多么令人震惊的数字！

父母养育我们含辛茹苦几十年，不求我们回报什么，只是希望我们好好的生活，健康的生活。我们又怎么忍心看到年迈的父母失去儿女时老泪纵横的面庞，怎么忍心看到苍老的身躯因悲痛而颤抖，又怎么忍心看到无依无靠的老人孤苦伶仃呢？生命不仅是自己的，也是父母的，活着是我们的责任，也是义务。我们是父母生命的延续，我们不是单独的个体，而是父母的希望和寄托，当父母年老时我们有义务照顾关心他们，我们应该害怕生命太短没有时间和父母好好相处，又怎么能轻易的就结束了呢？我们的肩上有沉甸甸的责任，生命是如此的珍贵和重要，又怎么可以轻言放弃呢？珍惜生命热爱生活！

As a senior 3 student, it wont take long before I graduate.___________________________________________________

【参考范文】

High school is regarded as the best time in a persons life. As a senior three student, it wont take long before I graduate. Now, I have much to share with my

fellow students.

Firstly, I would like to show my appreciation to those standing by me all the way, teachers, parents and friends included. Without their help and advice, my life would be different. Secondly, its high time to say sorry to classmates whom I hurt or misunderstood. Communication and smiles act as bridges to friendship. Above all, Ive made up my mind to make every effort to study, for I believe hard work is the key to success. Just as the old saying goes, "no pains, no gains."

Finally I hope that all the younger fellows can make full use of time, because time and tide wait for no men.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “the greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” You can give examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you will do to make your life more meaningful. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

How to Live a Meaning Life

如何过有意义的生活

Among all the highlighted topics, there is “how to live a meaning life?” Everyone has his or her own opinion. As the saying has it, “the greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” I cannot agree any more.

在所有突出的主题，有“如何生活的意义生活？“每个人都有他或她自己的意见。正如一句老话所说，“生命的最大用处是将它用于一些会拖垮它。“我不能同意更多。

If our life is just to pursue something for ourselves, we will surely feel fruitless and meaningless when we grow old. From Steve Jobs’s bibliography, we can get that the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. Steve Jobs has brought a great many changes to our world. His life, although short, definitely outlast. That’s a life worth living.

如果我们的生活只是为了追求自己的东西，当我们老了的时候，我们一定会觉得毫无结果和毫无意义的。从史提夫工作的参考书目，我们可以得到的人谁是疯狂到认为他们可以改变世界是谁做的。史提夫的工作给我们的世界带来了许多变化。他的生活，虽然短，肯定比。这是一个值得生活的生活。

Therefore, if there is a way to make my life meaningful, it should be to find something I’m interested in and also helpful to others or the whole society. Only in this way can I keep my passion throughout my life until I finally fulfil my life.

因此，如果有办法使我的生活有意义，它应该是找到我感兴趣的东西，也有助于其他人或整个社会。只有这样，我才能始终保持我的激情，直到我终于完成我的生活。

Today, I got up at8:00 at usual. And I have a busy day. In the morning, I studied for two hours. Andthen my father told me to visit my uncle with him.

今天，我像往常一样八点起床，并且度过了忙碌的一天，早上，我学习了两小时。然后爸爸叫我和他一起去看叔叔。我们带了一些东西给他并在那吃了午饭。两点我们就回家了，当我们回到家的时候妈妈正在打扫屋子因此我和爸爸就帮忙。我打扫我的房间，房间有点脏。打扫完屋子后我们去了超市，我买了一些零食。我今天很累。

But we love our school life.

[我的小学生活英语作文6篇

人的生命只有一次，生命对世界万物都很重要！但是每个人对生命的理解各不相同，有的人认为金钱、财富比生命更宝贵；有的人迷信说人死后会重生；有的人认为早死晚死都会死，还不如自杀算了。但是我认为，人要好好地活着，要好好珍惜生命。

贝多芬早在27岁就开始初发听力障碍了，耳聋对于他来说，是个致命的打击。但是这位音乐天才并没倒下，他那钢铁般的意志改变了他的人生观，他说：“我要扼住命运的咽喉，决不让它来毁灭我。”有时，他弹琴听不见声音，他就拿一根棍子，一边咬在嘴里，一边放在钢琴上，这样声音就可以从木棍传到牙齿上，最后入耳内了。

自从耳聋后，贝多芬就更加刻苦地学习了，也对时间更加倍珍惜了。

正是与命运的搏斗在，贝多芬成功创造出了一曲曲世界不朽的名作。如1801年的《月光奏鸣曲》；1804年的《第三交响曲》；1806年的《热情鸣奏曲》。

是的，挫折并不可怕，可怕的事思想的残疾。卓越的人最大的优点是在不利的艰难的境遇里百折不挠，不放弃，不因一点挫折而放弃生命。

导语：现在，越来越多的人们开始加入了提倡低碳生活的行列，并为营造低碳生活作着贡献。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Now, the world is in advocate a theme, that is: "low-carbon life".

Why should advocate low carbon life? Thats because in recent years, as people on waste, caused a sharp reduction in the earths energy, is now left, to the development of new energy sources, certainly too late.

Behavior, therefore, we should resist these waste, save energy use as much as possible in the life, and thus reduce carbon dioxide emissions. In this way, can achieve the "low-carbon life".

Now, more and more people begin to join the advocate low carbon life, then make a contribution to build a low carbon life. But there are some people, just enjoy yourself, dont for the sake of the future, the waste of the earth have very little energy at random, this kind of behavior is wrong, if everyone like they, themselves, low energy on the earth before long, will be used up, by this time, no matter how much people have the regret, also of no help.

Low carbon life in this moment now, appears especially important, I hope everyone should consciously create a low carbon life, starts from his side. Create a low carbon life, starts from me!

【参考译文】

现在，全球都在提倡一个主题，那就是：“低碳生活”。

为什么要提倡低碳生活呢?那是因为近几年来，由于人们的大肆浪费，造成了地球上的能源的急剧减少，现在已经所剩无几了，再开发新的能源，肯定来不及。

因此，我们要抵制这些浪费的行为，在生活中尽可能地节约使用能源，并因而减少二氧化碳的排放量。这样，才能够做到“低碳生活”。

现在，越来越多的人们开始加入了提倡低碳生活的行列，并为营造低碳生活作着贡献。但是，还有一些人，只顾着自己享受，根本就不会为将来着想，随意地浪费着地球上已经所剩无几的能源，这种行为是不对的，假如人人都像他们那样，只顾自己的话，地球上微薄的能源用不了多久，就会被消耗殆尽的，到了那个时候，无论人们有多么的后悔，也无济于事了。

低碳生活在现在这种关头，显得尤其重要，希望大家都要自觉地营造低碳生活，从自己的身边做起。营造低碳生活，从我做起!

With the development of science and technology，our lives have changed a lot in the past century。

Many things that wouldn’t happen before have come into reality now。Therefore，our lives will change as well in the future。

Our pace of live will greatly speed up，because we will help many machines to finish our work。Many things can be done autonomously。Therefore，people will have more time for fun。People can travel the outer space freely。

Space shuttle can bring people to planets far from the earth。Besides，our environment will be much better than now，because some effective measures are taken to protect the environment。Earth is still a beautiful home for human。

随着科技的发展，上个世纪我们的生活发生了很大改变。很多以前不可能发生的事现在都成为了现实。

因此，我们将来的生活也会改变。我们的生活节奏会大大加快，因为我们会让很多机器帮我们完成工作。很多事情都可以自动完成。

这样人们就有更多时间来玩了。人们可以自由到外太空旅游。

航天飞机可以把人们带到远离地球的行星上。此外，我们的环境会比现在好，因为我们可以采取一些有效措施来保护环境。地球仍旧是人类的美好家园。

it looks poorest when you are richest.the fault-finder will find faults in paradise. love your life, poor as it is.

you may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house. the setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich mans abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. i do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.the towns poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any. maybe they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving. most think that they are above being supported by the town; but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means. which should be more disreputable.

cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage.do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. turn the old, return to them.

things do not change; we change. sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。

你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。

你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮;在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。

城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们;可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。

视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。

万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。

How to Live a Low-carbon Life

越来越多的人提倡低碳生活

现代人倡导低碳生活与日趋恶化的环境问题的关系

提出你认为有效的低碳生活方式

An increasing number of people are asking for a low-carbon lifestyle. They long for a cleaner and more environmental-friendly world.

People’s lifestyle is closed related to our living environment. However, the excessive carbon dioxide emitted into the air has seriously damaged our living environment. The tsunamis, floods and severe droughts caused by the global warming are the biggest threat to people all over the world. The earth seems to be angry with human beings.

The only way to solve the problem is to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide sent into the air. Many measures can be taken. First, people can ride bicycles or walk instead of driving cars to work. Second, less plastic shopping bags should be used. Most important of all, people should be fully aware that we should start now to protect our world before it is too late.
