英语写给校长的一封信作文（精品20篇）

Dear Minister,

I am writing this letter to thank you for you warm hospitality accorded to

me and my delegation during our recent visit to your beautiful country. I would

also like to thank you for your interesting discussion with me which I have

found very informative and useful.

During the entire visit, my delegation and I were overwhelmed by the

enthusiasm expressed by your business representatives on cooperation with China.

I sincerely hope we could have more exchanges like this one when we would be

able to continue our interesting discussion on possible ways to expand our

bilateral ecomomic and trade relations and bring our business people

together.

I am lookingforward to your early visit to China when I will be able to pay

back some of the hospitality I received during my memorable stay in yur

beautiful country. With kind personal regards,

Faithfully yours,

(Signed)

尊敬的校长：

在小学度过六年了，作为一个快要毕业的学生，我时时刻刻感激着您。是您日夜操劳，不畏辛苦地管理着这个学校：是您，毫不保留地把自己的书法传授给同学们;还是您，精心策划各种安全演习，增长同学们的逃生知识……总之，没有您，就没有这个充满诗情画意的学校。

可是，在这个美丽的校园里，也不难发现一些不尽人意的地方。如：学校的小花园，随意一瞄，一张纸屑便印入你的眼帘;学校的厕所的尿槽和粪池里都是垃圾，五楼的厕所最为严重;学校门口的垃圾更是随处可见啊!相这样不爱惜环境的现象还很多。

尊敬的校长，为了让我们的学校更加美丽，我向学校提出以下建议：

1、在学校各处多派几个负责任的小小监督员，特别是在学校死角容易乱扔垃圾的地方，一但抓到，严厉训斥，二次以后便在升旗时公开批评，让他再也不敢乱扔了。

2、每个星期五组织一次大扫除，将所有垃圾清除，并在结束后派人检查，一但发现垃圾就狠狠扣他十分。

3、经常开展实践活动，展开清扫比赛，分配好每个班级的地方，开始比赛，最先完成的班级加十分，以此提高班级动力。

以上就是我的建议，希望英明神武的校长可以采纳。

此致

敬礼!

Chenhui

Hailey: Hey Johnny, you are looking extra cool today yeah! I am sure that

you could be the winner of this year’s best speech. The judge is the most

popular girl in school Janet Cross Ward! Good luck to you Johnny!

Johnny: Thanks Hailey and good luck to you too, I like the sash, ha!

Hailey and Johnny both thought that they were going to tie, but suddenly

their father said, “Hailey, Johnny, come here please!” “Coming,” said Hailey and

Johnny rushing towards their father, “Please help me open these packages the

teacher gave you.”

Hailey: Hey, Johnny I love packages, what do you think it is?

Johnny: Don’t know Hailey, but I guess that we will just have to find out

on our own by untying the knots to find out, because that is the best way.

Johnny began examining the knot and to untie it; at last he untied the knot

and found it inside a piece of paper, and on it were some words for the speech.

Hailey on the other hand was trying to untie the knot, but couldn’t do it just

like Johnny did; she became very, very frustrated.

Hailey: Oh! I wish that these silly people won’t tie these strings to

tight; I can’t even get it untied! Johnny, how did you do it? I’m

astonished?

Johnny: Oh, I just examined the knot to untie it, I love that idea!

Hailey still couldn’t untie it; at last she made up her own mind.

Hailey: That it is, I shall cut it up, and besides it is a package, right?

Oh how I wish I knew what is inside my package! Give a knife!

Johnny: Oh don’t cut it Hailey! What nice piece of string this is!

Hailey: What signifies a bit of thick string that is useless in the

future?

Johnny: It is whipcord, Hailey; don’t you know anything that this string

could be of use to us? This could even be our only hope in the future!

Hailey: Whipcord? Well then, what signifies a bit of whipcord; we don’t

even need it in our speech! Besides, the whipcord is a package string.

The speech began, Johnny read his lines perfectly, and even did a dance

with his string. For Hailey she read her lines perfectly but couldn’t do any

dance; and so the winner was no other than Johnny.

Hailey: Maybe the string made you lucky Johnny, but next time the string

will cause you trouble; I am warning you again Johnny.

The next month, there was an aim competition and Johnny is going to compete

with his sister Hailey. And so it is Johnny Vs Hailey. The competition began;

the only audience was Mr. Lolo.

Mr. Lolo: Okay, Hailey is first to aim with her bow; remember the rules, if

her string breaks there is no allowed borrowing!

And so Hailey was up, she aimed her bow at 8 and got 80 points; her second

aim landed on 9; and so she got 90+80=170 points! She was about to aim until her

string broke, Hailey had no other string to tie it onto, and so there a chance

that the audience Mr. Lolo would say…

Mr. Lolo: You’re out, Hailey! No prize for you, Hahahahahaha; okay, Johnny

your up! Wish you good luck! Break a leg! Ha!

And so Johnny was up, he lifted up his arrow and aimed perfectly on ten,

and so he got 100 points; his second aim missed and landed on 9; he got

100+90=190 points; he liked Hailey broke a string on the last aim too, and so

Mr. Lolo had another chance of saying the word…

Mr. Lolo: You’re out! Ha! No prize for you too, Hahahahahaha; okay…

Mr. Lolo didn’t even finished when Johnny pulled out the string from his

pocket and tied it onto the bow; then he made his aim and won the prize. Hailey

told Johnny after the competition…

Hailey: I’m sorry Johnny, I congratulate you! And you’re right, I should

have kept the string; next time I will keep one if I have a chance.

Now, the robbers had a sick plan; and so they took their own gloves, and

put on a glass; after that the sun shone through it which made lots of flames in

the air like a whirl between the south, and the gate opened.

When the robbers escaped, they immediately ran to town; when everybody was

asleep, they crept quietly to Ali Baba’s house, and found some money. The

captain said, “He stole some; let us get him, for I am sure that he is the one

who had the idea!” and then they thought of a clever plan, but they did not know

that Ali Baba, was a thousand times more smart than either of the robbers.

And so once they crept in, they hid in one of the empty jars of oil and

stood there quietly, while the captain of the robbers went to Ali Baba’s room.

After he went in there, he grabbed his sword, and was just about to kill him

when Ali Baba quietly opened his eyes and saw him. He pretended to sleep. And

when the captain of the robbers was tired, he decided to have a rest, and rested

on the floor.

Ali Baba then got up and out a stuffed animal in there, and then got out of

bed and to the jars of oil. When he found out that in it were robbers, he began

to stamp his feet. “Is that you captain?” asked one of the robbers, “Can we come

out now?” “Yes Erik, you can come out,” but before Erik the robber lifted out

his head, Ali Baba grabbed a knife and killed Erik, and then tied the other jars

on his three mules; and threw them into the pond nearby. And so Ali Baba had

killed all of the robbers.

When morning came, the captain of the robbers woke up. When he found that

his other mates were gone, he ran away leaving his sword on the floor. With this

sword Ali Baba trained to be a knight and became richer as he grew older.

I do not like teamwork in most time. Because I think it is hard for the

whole team to hold the same view. It is a waste of time to argue with each other

then make a compromise. But recently I have really seen the great power of

teamwork.

Last week we had a play competition. Because of some reasons, we had not

decided the play two days before the competition. Our monitor called the actors

and actresses who had been decided together. Then they think about every plot

together. To my surprise, it seemed that everybody had his or her good idea.

They gave up their weekend to practice the play. Finally our team won good marks

and were given the opportunity to participate in the final competition.

Teamwork is really powerful. No matter learning in school or working in the

future, we have to work in a team sometimes. So, try to establish the spirit of

teamwork. It will surely help you achieve success.

在大多数时间我不喜欢团队合作。因为我认为它是困难的为整个团队持有同样的观点。这是一个浪费时间争论然后互相妥协。但最近我真的见过伟大的团队合作的力量。

上周我们有一个玩的竞争。因为一些原因,我们没有决定竞争前的玩两天。我们的班长叫男女演员曾决定在一起。然后他们一起思考每一个情节。令我惊奇的是,似乎每个人都有他或她的好主意。他们放弃了周末练习。最后给出我们的团队赢得了好成绩,参加总决赛的机会。

团队合作真的很强大。无论在学校学习或工作在未来,有时我们必须在一个团队工作。所以,尝试建立团队合作的精神。它一定会帮助你取得成功。

Dear Editor-in-Chief,

Congratulations on the 5th anniversary of Global Mirror!

I’m a regular reader of your newspaper. I like it so much that I hardly miss any copy.

There are many advantages of Global Mirror. Firstly, Global Mirror covers both national and international news. By simply turning the pages, I can know all important things that have happened both home and abroad. Besides, the success stories of world-famous people are also attractive to me, which help me learn a lot from them. In a word, thanks to Global Mirror, we are well-informed and keep up with the changing world.

As a young student, I wish that I can be a master of English language. Therefore, I suggest that Global Mirror provide articles about English learning for us.

Finally, I hope that Global Mirror will become more and more popular. Thank you for your time!

Sincerely yours,

Li Hua

Dear Tom,

Im just writing to let you know that were all well, and I hope you are, too. Unfortunately, Ive got some rather bad news for you: Im afraid I made a bit of a mess of Johns car. Anyway, heres what happened.

We were on our way to Carols after a long party, and I suppose it must have been about eleven o’clock. Well, the last few miles back home were really dark and deserted. I now realize I was probably going a bit too fast for a country lane because, although the road was fairly straight, I drove up onto the curb and went into a tree.

Of course, John was absolutely furious and started shouting at me and cursing. After we d argued for a few moments, we decided to look at the damage, and he calmed down a bit. Well, we found we could move the car, but the wing was caught on the wheel, so we couldnt drive it. I tried to pull the wing clear, but I didnt succeed.

Anyway, John went off to phone for a breakdown lorry, but while he was away, I had another go at the wing and this time succeeded in pulling it right off. I threw it onto the back seat, and by that time John got back and we were ready to go?so we didnt need the breakdown lorry at all. John has more or less forgiven me now, but he was very angry with me for a few days. I suppose I was a bit careless.

Well, thats all for now. Next time I write I hope Ill have better news for you.

Yours sincerely,

Linda Chen

Dear Mr. Blake,

Thank you for informing us your new house address. It is fantastic that you have at last a house of your own, which, as explained, is located in a sea site city. I can imaginer that you are now enjoying your life and work, and you can entertain yourselves in such a big house.

When I told the news to Peter Li, James Wang and Nancy Zhang, the girl who always wears a long hair, and went to Beijing with us last year, they all wish you to send us some pictures of your new house. We hope that when we go on errand in America next year, we can pay a visit to your family. Then we are sure to have a nice gathering.

This morning, Peter and I went to an art gallery to pick up an oil painting with a beauty spot of China’s southern part as a token of our hearty congratulations. We hope it can add up to your decorations wherever you like, and we also wish you will like it.

Yours sincerely,

William Fang

敬爱的魏校长：

您好!

有这样一个故事：一个男孩和一棵树是好朋友，男孩常常在树上做游戏。当男孩长大了，变成男青年了，他向树要钱，树给了他可口的果子;当男青年变成了男人，树给了他树枝当柴火烧;男人到了中年，树又把它强健的树干给他做船。到了最后，树只剩一个孤零零的树墩还残留在大地上了……

我们可爱的地球母亲，就像故事中的大树一样，无私地将她丰富的资源贡献给她哺育的万物，而人们却无止境地把这些财富挥霍。为了拯救岌岌可危的生态环境和千疮百孔的地球母亲，我希望通过您对同学们发出以下倡议：

一、拧紧水龙头。有时，我经过学校的卫生间时，会发现水龙头在“流泪”。有的同学在使用水龙头后不是忘了关，就是没有关紧。假设每分钟滴50毫升水，那么一天就浪费了7200毫升水。在全世界有60多亿人在用水，每个水龙头都在滴水的话，一天下来，有多少水被无情地抛弃呀!所以，请同学们拧紧水龙头，珍惜每一滴水。

二、不要浪费纸。在班级的地板上，随处可见各类纸张，有的作业纸只写了一两个字就被撕下来了。全球平均每年消失1300公顷树木，长年累月，郁郁葱葱的森林在不断减少，地球露出的枯黄在一天天扩大。而我们呢?我们却在毫无顾忌地撕纸玩乐，显得自己家中十分“土豪”。所以，我想告诫同学们，不要再浪费由树木加工的纸张。

三、拒绝扔垃圾。不仅在班级，校园内也有形形色色的垃圾。处理塑料制品带来的污染可是环境的一大杀手，与废水污染、废气污染合称为“三大祸首”。所以，请同学们走到有放置垃圾桶或标明“垃圾车”处丢垃圾，人走之后留下洁净。

保护环境，有时只是举手之劳。让我们从身边做起，让水更清，让天更蓝，让草更青，让花更艳，让我们的家园更美丽，让地球妈妈重绽笑颜!

Dear Mr. President,

亲爱的校长：

I am writing this letter to you to express my concern about the sports

facilities on campus. I have noticed that our university has very limited

resources in terms of opportunities to participate in sports, especially given

that the number of students on campus is increasing every year.

我写这封信是向你反映我对我们学校运动设施的关心。我发现就参加体育锻炼的机会来说我们学校的资源是有限的，特别是每年学生的数量在不断增加。

As we both know, sports are very important for the sound growth of young

people. If they have access to quality sports facilities, young people are able

to choose a healthier lifestyle, to boost self-esteem and confidence, and to

build a positive outlook and sense of achievement.

我们都知道，运动对年轻人的成长很重要。如果他们可以利用运动设施，年轻人就可以选择一种更健康的生活方式，从而提高自尊和自信，建立一种乐观的态度和成就感。

My proposal is to build a new sports area. It should be designed with

soccer players, basketball players, and ping-pong players in mind. It should

have a different section for each activity and be available to students all year

round. I believe such facilities will meet our sporting needs.

我的建议是建立一个新的运动场。它应该设计有足球场，篮球场和乒乓球场。每个活动都应该有一个不同的区域，学生全年都可以进行运动。我相信，这些设施将满足我们的体育需求。

Thank you for your reading this letter.

感谢您阅读这封信。

Yours faithfully,

遵敬的校长阁下：

您好

我是贵校一位学生的家长

我知道，自从您在贵校接任校长以来，学校有了很大的改观，学校从高考升学率从全市的第十一名现在已跃升至全市第五名，今年的高考更上一层楼，在四百多高考生中，达一本录取线以上的就有百分之七十，二本线以上达百分之九十以上，社会一片叫好，从这里足可以看到;阁下在管理学校方面确有其过人的才华。然而，您也许不知道，这对我来说，恰恰是最忧虑的………

我的孩子学习成绩很好，在初中时凭她的学习成绩完全可以进全市最好的学校，之所以托人进当时是二类重点的贵校，完全是看重了贵校学业不那么紧张，且多方面发展的前景，但自您接任校长及孩子进入高中以后，学业一天比一天紧张，老师一开家长会就是怎么怎么才能考上大学，好象上大学成了上学的唯一目的，星期天也不休息，晚上10点以前，几乎没有一次回家的机会。

说句老实话，我并不希望她考全年级或全班第一名，也不希望她代表学校参加什么类似的什么化学或数学大赛，我希望的是;学校能让她在快快乐乐的环境中学习，而不是现在的每晚的晚自习到十点后才能回家，我需要的是她在学校能学到发现问题、提出问题、解决问题的能力，而不是她现在的顺着老师的教学思路作个解题的考试第一，也可能她将来考上重点大学甚至清华北大的机会非常大，那样会对学校重点大学的录取率添光彩，但我却并不想让她在国内上大学，象清华北大这样的国内名校在世界大学排名中连200名之内都进不了，那种老师在课堂上灌，学生顺着老师思路往下走的模式，我会在孩子高中毕业能自立后与之彻底断绝的。

人在一生中学生时代并不多，她们毕竟是要走入社会进行竞争的，我最大的希望是让她们在学生时代能在快乐的环境中学习，而且，最好用讨论形式的方法学习，老师可以提出问题，也可引导学生提出问题，培养学生发现问题、提出问题、解决问题的能力，而不是满堂灌输，让学生跟着老师走，培养的学生最后成为解题的机器，以便迈过进大学的这道门槛。我希望学校不要用公式或定律及名人来限制学生思想的自由发挥，什么能量守衡定律，物质不灭定律，一开始就把学生束缚在一个框框里，使学生不敢想永动机、不敢对已有的事物进行创新，要知道，任何真理都是相对的，有的定律公式都有它的阶段性，就像相对论出来前，人们认为时间是永恒的一样，就连早期数学1+1时等于2，但到高等数学出来、或把1+1放在社会学中，放在哲学中时就有可能不等于2了，而我恰恰希望的是老师能带出能提出类似问题的学生。

国外有的名校是不招高考状元的，因他们认为，学习好的学生一定在全面素质的培养上不能均衡发展，因一个人的精力是有限的，不可能在各个方面都优秀，有人作过统计，从我国恢复高考以来，每年的高考状元加起来有几千人，按出类拔萃、特优秀、优秀等分类，出类拔萃的人就没有一个是从高考状元中产生的，有些免强进入特优秀行例，但人数少得可怜，也仅仅是当了厅级以上的干部，而在学术上是没有任何成果的，与此同时，也是这么长时间，美国人却拿了几十个诺贝尔奖，在国际一流学术刊物上发表的论文就更多了。

美国密歇根大学的校长访华时说过这么一句话，“在我校，有一条原则，一个学生如果在老师出题的考卷上得到满分，他只能得B;如果他的一个想法让教授大吃一惊，他才能得A”，遵敬的校长阁下，您的能力足以证明您的才华可以领导学校向世界一流学校看齐，但却不是这样拼命死学的方法。

祝您：

事业腾达、蒸蒸日上

一位学生的家长

20__年_月_日

Since the swallow had brought back the prince’s red gem, he could at last

stay; but one night as soon as he was about to return to the Egypt, the happy

prince said to the little swallow, “OH little swallow, please stay with me for

one last night?” the swallow replied, “Oh dear prince, I couldn’t stay with you

any longer, my friends are waiting for me and…” “Oh please little swallow, you

must obey me;” the swallow sighed and said, “All right I shall stay with you for

one last night.”

The swallow then took a breath, after that he continued, “What is the

request that you want me to do dear prince?” the prince said to the swallow,

“See that poor old man writing a story, he is very hungry; and I could tell by

his face,” “What do you want me to give to him dear prince?” asked the swallow,

as if he had so many questions to ask; “I want you to take out my blue eye ball,

it is like a gem, and bring it to the man so that he could finish his act; and

be happy once more.”

At these words the swallow said, “OH my dear prince, I couldn’t do that! I

swear! Because…” “No little swallow, you must do what I say, and help that poor

man!” at these words, the swallow had no choice but to obey, he took out the

other prince’s eye; with a squeak, as if he was helping the poor prince to

recover from his pain.

When the swallow flew to the man with the blue sapphire gem, he felt the

warm wind of the spring dancing around in his brain. When he arrived, he placed

the gem under the man’s face, and flew back to the prince. When he returned, the

prince asked the swallow, “Did you succeed?” asked the prince joyfully, “I did,

and I hope the man enjoys it too.

The man awoke eventually, when he saw the blue sapphire gem; he said

happily, “What on the world is this? somebody actually likes my plays, yes! Now

I can finish my play;” and he began to write. The next day, the swallow flew

away to Egypt and before that he said to the prince, “I am going to fly away to

Egypt today and…” “Oh please little swallow, oh please can you stay with me for

one last night?” but the swallow was very satisfied, “But, dear prince; I can’t

do that, my friends are waiting for me and it is getting colder and colder here;

I have to go to Egypt, where the sun is hot, and it is warm and cool there;”

“You must little swallow, you must stay with me for one last night,” “Dear

prince, I couldn’t and…” “Swallow this can’t be, you have to stay with me; I

command you!” the little swallow had no choice but to obey.

“Okay prince, what is your command?” “See that poor little girl on the

road, she is selling matches; it is Christmas day, and she hadn’t even sold one

match. But she dares not to go home; because her father was a cruel man, and he

would punish her and hit her hard and say mean words to her if she doesn’t bring

home any money. She is crying bitterly, and I want you to do something that I

want; which is very important, I now realize that helping people is good since

it feels good.”

“Well what do you suggest me to do dear prince?” “I want you to take my

sword’s red gem off again, and give it to her so that she can bring home,” “OH

my dear prince!” shouted the swallow in the loudest voice, “I can’t do that, you

will lose your sword’s red gem and…” “No swallow, you must do what I tell you,

or face your doom!” and so the swallow brought the red gem to the little girl by

wings, the little girl looks at it and smiled, “That is nice! But it is still

not enough as my father wished me to give it to him;” then she began to sigh and

cry again, the swallow heard what the girl had just said; he said to himself,

“What a picky girl!” when he flew back, he didn’t tell the prince the message

that he had just received from the little girl; but he still was very cold.

He knew that since he did not help the poor little girl, he felt bad; and

so that was the reason why he was cold. He was very sad; and when he was about

to fly to Egypt, the prince said to the swallow, “I see that you are very sad

these days; I wonder what is the matter, tell me?” the swallow did not speak,

the prince forced the swallow to tell him; but he still didn’t say anything. At

last the prince said, “If you don’t tell me I will put dynamites on your head

and blow you up! I was trying to help you!”

At these words the swallow was so scared that he said out loud, “I heard

the little girl say that that wasn’t enough to pay for his father, and so I

didn’t tell you because I thought that you would not like it and…”

“Oh my dear swallow, why on earth would you think I will not help a little

girl? And why on earth would you not tell me about this?” the spell was broken,

the prince turned to real life, and jumped down from the statue’s stand, “Thank

you dear swallow, you have broke the spell, and now I can live on land once

more.

That was the end of the happy prince. During the lives when he was a golden

statue, he realized how important everybody was to him, and that how important

helping people is.

Dear Xiao Wang,

I am delighted to know that you will be able to visit me for a week during

the National Day holiday. I am looking forward to your visit and to the

opportunity to catch up. Welcome to my home in Nanjing!

As you know, Nanjing has many places of interest to see, to discover, and

to enjoy. Among its historical sites are stone city wall, the Confucius Temple

with its magnificent night view, and Dr. Sun Yetsens Mausoleum. With all its

universities, Nanjing is a cultural center, offering an abundance of artistic

and musical performances. Its also a city of beautiful gardens and parks, such

as the Xuanwu Lake Park. With all these features, we will have a fun-filled

week, especially that in early-October, there are many sunny and mild days for

outdoor activities. So, I would suggest visiting these places first, and

deciding on the others as our week develops.

Finally, since at this time of the year the weather gets a little chilly in

the evening, I would suggest that you bring some warm clothing with you. Also,

as there will be crowds of people at the stations and on the trains, you need to

be very careful with your belongings!

Best wishes for a pleasant journey!

Yours,

Zhang Ying
