2020致自己的一封信5篇 写给某某的信英语(经典20篇)

I have studied very hard just to realize my future dream. I want to make a

lot of money and make my parents live the comfortable life. They have sacrificed

so much for me, so I really want to return them. The biggest dream for me is to

travel around the world. I am so crazy about the diversity of the world, so I

want to see its beauty. This is the ideal life for me.

亲爱的自己：

你好!

收到这封信，你是否会疑惑：我是谁?是谁给你写信?也许吧，也许我是你的影子，也许我是镜子里的你吧。这是我第一次给你写信，因为我第一次察觉到了你不经意间犯的一些错误。

亲爱的自己，最近的学习中，你是否感到有些力不从心?你是否会想：“我以前不是这样的呀，我以前很棒，老师提出的问题很快就能答出来。”可为什么现在面对老师的提问，你经常懵懵懂懂呢?还有，最近的好几次测验，你是否在之前都没有复习?虽然到了测验时，你时刻提醒自己：一定要细心，细心，再细心!可不该粗心的还是粗心，不该错的还是错了。卷子一发下来，经常是不太满意的分数刺着你的眼睛?

细细想来，其实这是你分不清主次的缘故。学生，应该把学习放在第一位。可你呢?每一次取得了也就那样的成绩，就骄傲得不得了，草草完成功课，立马跑去看电视;每当你手中有玩物，便会玩个天昏地暗，把学习扔得远远的?而且谁劝也不听，说多了还会还会大发脾气?记得有一次，你拿着手机玩游戏，妈妈温柔地叫你吃饭，你说要再等一会。再叫几次，你的回答都是“再等一会儿”。妈妈忍不住把你的手机没收了，你竟然出言顶撞，甚至动手打人，其后还把自己反锁在房间里生闷气，饭也不吃觉也不睡，拿起一页纸乱撕乱扔，弄得满地都是纸片，一副受尽了委屈天下人皆负了你的神情?

如果你把这种“废寝忘食”的玩乐精神多用一点在学习上，那你的成绩一定会蒸蒸日上的!没有节制的玩乐使你颠倒了是非，使你缺少了同伴交往导致性格孤僻、行为笨拙。你已经浪费了太多太多的时间在毫无意义的游戏上，再这样下去，你会越来越懒，越来越笨，最后白白浪费了你自己宝贵的生命!所以，你不能再这么下去了，醒醒吧!

很长很长一段时间，你的心里只有游戏。现在，你稍微改了一点点，这说明你还是个有追求、有上进心、有自制力的孩子。人活着，都应该考虑一下自己活着的意义，不能还没搞清楚这个问题，就老了。我想，人这一辈子，不是为了金钱，为了权力，为了玩乐而活着。那样的人生没有意义，人会找不到真正的自己而心灵空虚，了无生趣。人活着，是为了不断超越、拼搏和奋斗，是为了做有意义的事，做对别人、对自己有用的人。只有这样，人的存在才有意义，社会才能进步，你也能找到自己存在的价值。你会为自己的一生感到自豪、幸福!反之，只是虚度时光，就如一只关在笼子里的鹰，有翅膀，却不会飞翔，那跟行尸走肉又有什么两样呢??

如果让你认真地选择人生，你会选择怎样的道路呢?是在贡献和快乐拼搏中度过一生，还是在阴沉、乏味中度过一生呢?你是个聪明人，应该会做出明智的选择。

希望你听从我的忠告，不枉人世走一遭。

祝你身体健康，心情愉快，学业有成!

我是__年的陈佳迅，我对你的期望很高，你要在新的一年里听老师父母的话，改正不虚心的缺点，成为一个人人见了人人夸的好学生。__年，全新的一年，你也要做全新的自己。当然，缺点改了，优点也不能丢，热爱读书、有自己的思想这两点是不可以不做的，这可是成为好学生很重要的部分。

我希望你能在各种考试中认真检查，经常考95分以上，作文发表得越来越多。我自己也在努力，老师带领我们复习时，总是认真地听，积极回答问题，老师很高兴，经常表扬我。不过，你的数学没有语文和英语好，数学课上要更加认真听讲，回家进行预习和复习，期末才能考得更棒!但是，我性子太急，玩的时候总是急吼吼的，同学们也经常抱怨我这一点，你要争取速度慢下来，让同学们认可。对了，我比较好胜的心理也要慢慢改过来，其实没什么东西是必须要赢的，反而会伤了同学们之间的感情。

在家里，你还要改掉说话不过脑子的习惯，不然会惹妈妈生气，家里气氛尴尬极了。这个时候，你要给妈妈捶捶背、倒杯水，表达自己的歉意。现在我每天都很乖，起得很早，有足够的时间坚持每天半小时的晨读，__年，你也要继续保持。

这些都做到后，__年，我想过没有烦恼的一年，在幸福的家里快乐成长，不经常生病，随时可以跟我的玩具们聊天。你可要努力实现啊!

最后，祝你健健康康、快乐过好每一天!

There was once a little girl named Jerry that lived with her mother in a

small cottage in the forest. They were very poor, and could only afford to eat

bread. “Oh no!” cried Jerry’s mother one afternoon, “We ran out of bread, and it

is almost time for supper!” “Do we have any eggs left?” asked Jerry, “No, none;”

said her mother very worried.

“Don’t worry mother,” said Jerry suddenly, “I shall go and get some in the

market.” Then she ran off through the forest to the market with her basket.

Along the way, she was quite tired, so she rested upon some big rocks. It

gradually became late and Jerry decided to go and buy the bread, but suddenly a

wolf cried out behind her; “Please, please help me!” cried the wolf, “I have a

problem that nobody wants to help!” then he held out his paw to Jerry, there was

a thorn stuck to his paw. “Is this a trick?” asked Jerry, “Because wolves like

to eat people.”

“Oh no,” answered the wolf, “We do not eat people now, we only want to eat

some bread with mustard on top;” then he cried again. Jerry quickly knelt down

and removed the thorn from the wolf’s paw; “Oh thank you! Thank you!” shouted

the wolf joyfully, “I shall never forget your kindness!” then the wolf returned

to his home. Jerry walked to the market to buy healthy fresh bread, and then she

ran back home with a full basket of it.

On the way, she was still tired; so she stayed at the same place. As she

was about to go, some greedy wolves blocked her way. They had water in their

mouths and said, “Give us the bread!” said a wolf, “Where are the mustard?”

asked a second wolf, “Just give it to us!” shouted the third wolf. Jerry had no

choice, as she was about to give the fresh bread away to the wolf, the wolf that

she had saved before rushed out and said, “Leave her alone!” he growled, “That

girl saved me before, and so leave her alone!” he shouted again.

The other wolves had no choice but to obey, they walked away. Jerry thanked

her new friend the wolf, and the wolf said that he was supposed to do that in

return. In order to show Jerry’s respect for him, she gave him half the bread,

and returned home immediately to tell her mother about it.

They had some bread that evening, and Jerry’s mother including Jerry

herself both became good friends with the wolf. The wolf also had plenty of

bread, and moved his home close to Jerry.

The moral of this story was: if you help others and they will help you in

return, you help them again then friends you’ll become. It will be a peaceful

life if friendship is all around us.

I like to eat different kinds of delicious food , however, my favorite food

is dumplings. In my spare time , I like to make dumplings with my mother . I

think home-made dumplings are more delicious than those in supermarket .My

mother knows I love to eat them ,so she makes dumplings at every weekend . I

prefer eating dumplings . How about you ?

Everyone has hobbies.Hobbies are the important things in our life.I also

have hobbies.Next,let me tell you.Exercise is my one hobby.I love sport.The

more exercise I do,The more healthier I have.After I have dinner,I often go for

a walk with my sister on the streets,and when class is over,I usually play

badminton with my friends.Sometimes I play ping-pong,too.So I think I live in a

wonderful life.

Reading is my the other hobby.In weekends,I often read some novels.Such

as《Jane Love》。《Zhao Hua Xi She》and so on.That can make me improve my

Chinese.

This is my hobbies.If you have hobbies,you can exchange with me.

Dear sir /Madam ,

My name is Li ming , a student currently studying at Qi Ming high school. I am writing, on behalf of my classmates ,to apply for the 2000 yuan worth of fund in a bid to initiate a program aimed at helping those students who are financially disadvantaged.

Being raised in families that don’t have to worry about putting food on the table need not mean oblivion to our less fortunate peers. On this account , we would appreciate it if you could sponsor our poverty –relief endeavor . The following is how we would go about using the money. We would spend 1500yuan purchasing some stationery for the needy students in our school .We would inform them to pick up the school supplies themselves instead of us handing the supplies out so that we wouldn’t embarrass those who we want to help . The remainder of the fund would be used to invite a motivational speaker who was to talk about how to lift oneself out of poverty by making right academic and professional decisions .

Modest as our efforts may sound, we believe they will warm some hearts . We would be much obliged if you could reply at your earliest convenience .

Yours sincerely ,

Li ming

亲爱的：

你好!我是另一个你，也是未来的你。在这里我要把现在的你用文字大胆的写出来!

不知不觉十年过去了，可现在你仍然很马虎。不知你还记得一次考试你十分钟答完一张卷，把笔用的像孙悟空的金箍棒，写完还和前面的人说：“你答完了吗?看看我的?”反正东张西望，不够你折腾得了。下课后你是第一个走出的教室，还和你的妈妈说你考的很不错，考试的题你都会。当考试分数下来时你就不那么欢了，明明人家出的是800+5你却写的是80+5，明明是大象比猴子重，你却认为是猴子比大象。

还有你的演讲大赛你还记得吗?你紧张的不得了。化好妆，穿上演出服时你就开始脚软，说：“为什么要上台呢?”在演出台后门口那你望着观众，觉得都在死死的盯着你，当然上台更是了，小步小步向前走，不用说我的亲，你又演砸了。

说了这么多，说说你的好处吧!你呢!是个干净的小公主，喜欢把自己房间整理的干干净净，就算天再晚回家也要把手和脸洗干净，上床总是要换上睡衣的，牙齿总是白白的，衣服整洁，头发不散乱，手指甲不长不短，讨人喜爱!

对了，说说你对今年的学习工作时间吧!如果说到学习你可能感到太无趣了，但我要告诉你，不要在最吃苦的年纪选择安逸，我让你做的不多，保证每天做一张大卷纸就好，周六周日也无假，要写补课作业哦!记得，长大的你一定感谢现在奔跑的你!

还有，不管别人怎么样，你只要看好自己就足够了。只有经过坎坷泥泞的艰难，才能体会到阳光大道的可贵，才真正懂得成功的喜悦!

祝：

身体健康、学业有成!

另一个你自己

As a child， I am very naughty and forget about what my mother tells me. One

time， I go back home very late. When I see my mother， she smiles at first and

then turns angry， because she has told me before if I go home late， I must tell

her in advance. I let my mother heart-broken. I feel sorry and promise it wont

happen again.

自信的微笑，乐观的坚持，努力的快乐，这是你现在需要的。安静的生活，充实的过每一天。记住，，永远不是你的梦想，所以，金钱权利不会成为你生命的主题。平淡并不意味着平庸，不论何时，都坚持自己最初的梦想，好吗?

人生的路不是一帆风顺的，纵然你过于平凡。所以，请学会坚强，足够坚强的人才有资格谈理想谈人生。我们长大了，我们学会了承担，我们懂得了责任。那么，请你把行动付诸思想，一步一个脚印，走出你的人生轨迹。霞，祝福你。

不轻言放弃，你知道的。你是一个稳重而又坚强的女孩，不轻言放弃，不轻易掉眼泪。你已习惯，成绩下降时，你不会哭，我不知那是你的坚强，还是不在乎。坚强的外表下伪装着一颗多愁善感的心，多少次因为一部影片而流泪，尔后，又自嘲地笑笑。安静的外表，内向性格的你其实是一个大大咧咧的女孩，不把一切放在心上，所以，你总是很轻松。你知道吗?你是我见过最知足的女孩。伤心时，一颗糖果就可以让你甜甜一笑，是啊，你不愿贪图太多，因为你从心底里渴望一种平淡。在这个弱肉强食的社会，在这个充满竞争的社会，我很欣慰，你依旧坚持着你自己。不可否认，你想过出色，也曾有过人上任的想法，但聪明的你明白你究竟想要什么。不贪图荣华，不奢求富贵，你仅仅想要真实。你的家庭并不富裕，但你有爱你的父母，这是你的欣慰，你爱你的家，纵然它并不很宽敞。但是，霞，没有出色的相貌，没有过硬的家庭背景，没有过于渊博的知识，你依旧是最独特的一景。在某些方面，你有你独特的见解，所以，你应该自信，不论何时，抬起你的头，你并不比别人差，一切取决于自己。努力哦!

坚定你的信念。不觉间，你已走过18个春秋。你明白，惶惶度日不是你想要的，所以，请确定一个为之努力的目标吧，相信你拥有目标之后，会更加努力。不论何时，坚持你的梦想。

最后，祝福你，深深的祝福送给你。

Most people has a sweet home, so have I. I think my home is sweet because

it is my best place to have rest or have fun with my friends or my parents.

许多人拥有一个甜蜜的家，我也有。我认为我的家是甜蜜的，因为它是我休息、与父母、朋友一起玩乐的地方。

I can remember clearly. Once I came back home late because my teacher

didnt want me leave until I finished my homework. At that time, the weather

became colder and the wind became stronger. I was so hungry and cold at that

time! I felt I cant take it any more, so I ran to my home quickly. When I got

my home, I felt much more warmer and happiness than ever before!

我可以清楚地记着。有一次，直到我完成作业，老师才肯放我回家，所以我就回来晚了。那时候，天气更冷了，风也变得更大了。在那时，我又冷又饿。我觉得自己无法承受了，所以我迅速地跑回家。当我到家的时候，我感到从未有过的温暖和幸福。

Thats why I love my sweet home. Dont you think so?

这就是为什么我爱自己的甜蜜之家。难道你不是这么认为的么?

Im in the school is a beautiful school， has many different kinds of

plants. Look! Those two covering at the school gate， thin timbo hangs from the

thick branches. Whenever the wind breeze picked up， sister timbo sister gently

to the rhythm of dance with the wind. Into the broad basketball court， you will

see is on the appearance of the physical education of students in sports.

Girls kicking shuttlecock， rope skipping， the boy playing table tennis，

basketball. A knot a happy laughter. Especially the class is over， see! The

highest tree thats school， the oldest tree， the green tree. The little fan of

green leaves， the thick branches， like a huge green umbrella. When they have a

lot of students in the class play， happy laughter ripples in and around the

tree. In the tree on the left， there is a grass of home - the football field.

Football has a lot of grass， soft， like a big green blanket. Next to the

football field is the bright five-star red flag， high in the sky look at the

growth of the students.

十四岁的你：

小伟，我的十四岁，你过得还快乐吗?

时光在你那度过了十四载，在我这儿人却整整二十载。

其实我一直想问你，如果给你一个机会让你知道未来发生的事，你想知道吗?我知道，以你的性格，一定不会让我告诉你的对吗?

我还记得，十四的你，正值青春的美好年华，那时的你，只要敢说，就一定会去做，我不知该说你初生牛犊不怕虎，还是该说你青春年少不更是。

算算时间，这时候的你，应该在抱怨别人为何都比你强吧!我还是劝你一句：不要再整日幻想了，天上不会掉馅饼，只有可能是陷阱，你想要的，岁月凭什么给你?所有逆袭，都是有备而来;所有光芒，需要时间才能被看到;所有幸运，都是努力埋下的伏笔，我希望，你可以一次又一次经受住打击，又可以一次又一次满血复活。

我希望，你可以大胆地去做自己想做的事，不要犹豫，不要徘徊，更重要的，是不要改变，当你回首往事的时候，不会因为虚度年华而悔恨，也不会因为碌碌无为而懊丧，我会给你一片天，让你可以尽情的在上面染上五彩缤纷的色彩。

我希望，在我消失的时候，你，会成为更好的一个我。

成为我想成为的我，像登上五千米高峰的海拔，像花儿在晨风中给你希望。

我会寻你、爱你。在每一个路口拥抱你。

Hello everybody! My name is Chen Xuanlin. It is my pleasure to be here to

share my opinions of growing pains.

Grow up, like a boat in my life, driving the wave surface. Sometimes, be in

calm, sometimes be in rough. But the boat I was growing up, not everything is

going. For me, sour,sweet,bitter,ho t,everything .

Now, as I grow up, are becoming adults, so in the eyes of parents, I was no

longer to be a kid. Sometimes, they say "youve grown up,not a children!" When I

listen to this,my head will be pain.

When I was a little boy, my life is so relaxed.But now, in front of the

waves are bigger, and more twists and turns the sea,I become a middle school

student, that I have all gone past. Im taller, homework more, study more

subjects,have more test.When I was a boy, I am wrong no matter what happened, no

one to blame me.But now,if I do something wrong,my parents will shout. The

relaxe time will far away from me.I will be more busy.

Study pressure always troubling me. Grown up, more work gradually like

hills. After school, I do not dare to play, to see their favorite book, Im

afraid I cant complete the work, I can only try very hard to make the pen in my

book on wave, for example, I have to run on the way home. The course also

gradually heavy. Every home in the evening review, I looked at a lot of books, I

really do not know to study what subject, is Chinese? Or math? Or geography?

Or……

What should I do? To look life in the future.

Distinguished leaders, parents and dear students,

Good morning! I am so excited to stand here, as a representative of the

whole G12 students’ parents to make a brief speech to show our greatest honor

and respect to the school leaders and teachers who work for our sons and

daughters in the past three years. Thank you for your hard work.

Frankly, we were hesitant about our choice at first, but today we beam with

happiness. Now all of our children have received the admission letters and

scholarship from Canada, the USA, the Switzerland and many other countries.

Thank you for your great education!

At the same time, as their parents, we hope every future university student

will work even harder and become the backbone of our nation after graduation

from university. Last, I wish SCCSC a brighter future and with students all over

the world! Thank you all!

I have a brother. He is younger than me. When our parents have bought us

presents, I will be the first to take presents, or if there is something to eat,

I will make the choice before my brother. My mother educates me that I should

share things with my brother. Until then I realize the meaning of sharing.

Li Hua is a Yong Pioneer. He is going to the park. Now he is waiting for a

bus. Suddenly he finds a watchon theground.He askssome people, "Whose watch is

it?" But the watch isnt theirs. So he gives the watch to a policeman.

Now Li Hua gets on the bus. He is sitting near the window. An old woman

gets on the bus. She has no seat. So he stands up and says, "Here is a seat for

you, Granny. Please sit here"
