八年级英语日记【精彩20篇】

1.日记是用来叙述一天生活中发生的重要事情，特别是那些具有教育意义或值得今后回忆、查阅或参考的事情的一种应用文体。日记的素材应是最有趣或最有感受的一些事情。体裁通常是记叙文或简单的议论文。

2.英语日记的格式：一般是在正文左上角写明当天的日期(年、月、日)，星期几; 右上角写上当天的天气情况。下面一行可以写上日记小标题，也可以不写标题。

3. 英语日记的时态：写日记的时间，通常是在当天的下午或晚上，特殊情况下也可以是第二天补记，因此，所用时态多为过去时。但也应灵活掌握，如在说明天气、描写景色、议论某事、对话引语等情况下，也可以使用现在时，以表现当时的情景。

4. 英语日记的类型: 日记可分为记事、议论、描述及抒情等类型。记事 型日记，就是用英语记述当天自己生活、学习中发生的事情。议论型日记，就是对生活中的某一事情或情况、现象谈自己的看法，发表议论。描写型、抒情型，则是对某人物、事物的特征做细致的描述，或针对某事物抒发自己的感情。

5. 其他：日记多是记录自己经历过的事情, 故多用第一人称。日记一般按事情发生的先后顺序记述，所以有时需要借助一些表示先后顺序的词语，如：at first, afterwards, then, later on, soon, finally, at last等，以便使文章连接紧凑，过渡自然。

英语日记写作示例:

根据下表的内容，用英语写一篇日记，记述你在公园所看到的事情。

时间

20xx年12月10日星期日下午

事件：几个小孩在滑冰 天气晴 听到呼救声

地点：公园内，水塘中一个男孩掉进水中

人物：你和王能

跳进水塘里救出男孩,进行急救，恢复知觉,电话通知家长

December,10,Sunday Fine

This afternoon I went to the park with Wang Neng, where there was a pond. We saw several boys skating there. Suddenly we heard a cry for help. One of the boys had fallen into the water. Wang Neng jumped into the icy water immediately and managed to pull the boy to safety. Then the boy was given first aid and soon came to himself. The boy’s parents came soon after they received the phone call. They were very thankful to Wang Neng, who was trembling with cold.

二、日记的格式

英文日记通常由书端和正文两个部分组成。日记常以第一人称记下当天生活中的所见、所闻、所做或所想的事情。中、英文的日记三格式大致一样。英语日记的书端是专门写日记的日期、星期和天气的。左上角是日期(年、月、日)、星期。右上角写上当天的天气情况，如：Sunny，Fine，Rainy，Windy，Snowy，Cloudy等。

1、日期表达有多种形式。年、月、日都写时，通常以月、日、年为顺序，月份可以缩写，日和年用逗号隔开。例如：

A)September 1，2004或September 1st，2004也可省略写成Sept. 1，2004或Sept. 1st，2004;the 1st of September in 2004(月份不可以缩写)

B)只有月、日：September 1或September 1st(月份可以缩写)

C)只有年、月：September 2004或the September of 2004(月份不可以缩写)

以上的1或1st都应读作the first.

2、星期也可以省略不写，可将其放在日期前或后，星期和日期之间不用标点，但要空一格，星期也可缩写。如：

Saturday，October 22nd，2004;October 22nd，2004 Saturday

3.天气情况必不可少。天气一般用一个形容词如：Sunny，Fine，Rainy，Snowy 等表示。写在日期之后，用逗号隔开，位于日记的右上角。如：

Saturday，March 4，2004，Windy;1st January，2004，Fine

三、日记的要求

日记的正文是日记的主要部分，写在星期和日期的正下方，可以顶格写，也可以内缩3至5个字母的空间。由于记载的内容通常已经发生，谓语动词多用一般过去时。但也可根据具体情况，用其它时态。如：记叙天气、描写景色，为了描写生动，可以使用现在时，以表现当时的情景。再如文后发表感想或评论可用现在时态或将来时态。记日记力求简单明了，有连贯性。若有文字提示，则应重视提示，把握要点。在句式上尽量使用简单句，以防繁杂，造成语法、句型错误。

四、日记的类型和训练

日记分为记事型、议论型、描写型和抒情型。建议大家在学习写日记的过程中，可按以下步骤进行：

①将一天所经历的主要事情和过程依次简要地记下来，不附加任何感情色彩，这是最简单的记日记的方法;

②阅读别人的日记，并利用所学过的句型来表达个人在一天中观察到的或感受到的事情。

【范文与点评】

March 12th，2003，Tuesday Sunny (Fine)

Today is Tree Planting Day. At 7∶30 in the morning，all the students in our class met at the school gate. We walked to the park. Miss Gao and other teachers went and worked with us. All the students worked very hard，and we planted about 200 trees. Though we were dirty and tired，we still felt very happy.

一.理清思路

你会不会觉得，心情不好时，写出来的东西就是在倾诉，在发泄？

记录下自己的愤怒哀伤，就像自己再一次经历一样？

在这种情况下，记录下来一些东西，其实是在帮你理清自己的思路。

脑海中看似有联系的想法，如：按照事件发生的时间顺序在你脑海中进行放映；或者某个事物触碰到你的愤怒点，从而让你产生因果联系。这些现象会让你有种错觉，认为自己在脑子里能够把事情的来龙去脉，甚至是每个细节，每个与之对应的情绪都能看得十分明白。一旦你有机会，将这件触动你的事情，在夜深人静时写下来，你就会发现，笔根本停不下来。

一个人的视野始终是有局限性的，只有当你写下来，在这个抽丝剥茧一字一字的缓慢进程里，你才能看到很多自己思想的局限性，这时候，你还会为这件糟糕的事情而心情不好么？并不会。

因为写字的时候，你会慢慢进入到理性思维，感性思维还在，但理性思维已经可以帮助你找到症结所在，让你不用再为此懊恼。这种客观的看待和分析，会让你平和下来。通常，在那些字的末尾，我们还会给自己做积极的心理建设。你看到的，只是你眼中的世界，并不代表真实。甚至，你分析的，只是用你自己脑子里存储的知识去分析的，也不代表全面。写字的好处，我也只能从我自己的经验和思考出发，给出我的回答。

不要让大脑蒙混过关，写下来，学着做一名侦探，去找到最接近真实的蛛丝马迹。

oh，还是说你想要彻底忘掉？

浮躁是现代人的通病，费时费心力的写下自己的愤怒哀伤，还不如与朋友High歌一场，或是狂吃海喝一番有性价比。选一个娱乐的方式填满自己的时间，然后进行选择性遗忘。也许那些糟糕的事情可以静静待在你的内心深处。但要提醒的是，它们其实伺机而动，寻求着重见天日的机会。

从心理学的角度上来说，屏蔽掉那些糟糕的事情，也会让你在心里建立起一堵墙。无奈的是，这堵墙会同时将糟糕的和开心的事情阻隔在你的心门之外。这种心理防御机制的后果便是，你将变得无比麻木，对于开心的不开心的事情你都没什么感觉，生活也没了激情，甚至变得爱无能。

建议看看这个TED视频（脆弱的力量），帮助你接受那些不愉悦，然后尝试着写点儿字。http://v.qq.com/x/page/h0016yx8og6.html

二，了解自己

生活平淡，开心或者无事，写下来就是流水账而已，浪费时间。

浪费时间？这个，取决于你怎么定义它

我们最常做的一件事：在电脑上看着电影同时吃着零食并且玩着手机，美名曰，效率。

而效率的高低评价，要在结果成功的基础上。如果是一部烧脑电影，看完后你也许根本不知所云。如果是重要的事情要用手机联系，或许会因为打错字、消息发错人显得你不靠谱从而错过某些机会。而零食的味道你又是否真的体会到了？几件事情同时做，每件事情都只花了几分之一的心思，每件事得到的也只有几分之一。谈何效率？

记流水账也有好处啊。初中时我的日记都是以“今天我……”开头，然后就是一些流水账。慢慢地你会在一些小事情上也能发表一些看法了。譬如你今天在菜里吃到一条虫，你大可以进行谩骂，然后在这个场景里你或许会看到旁边的好友，他的反应是怎样的？你对他的反应有什么看法么？他今天和你一起做了什么有趣的事情？然后再展开下一个场景。

仅仅因为联想，你的大脑就比你想象的要八婆得多，你怎么会觉得自己的大脑空无一物，无事可写呢？

大脑的思绪纷繁杂乱，一天的起心动念有无数次，记流水账可以帮助你捕捉到更多内心的想法，觉察到更多生活中的细微真实之处，也会让你对自己更加了解。要客观的认识自己一件非常困难的事情，没有勇气剖析自己，面对自己的缺点和错误，就无法保持一个清醒的头脑对你手头的事情做出合理的决断和处理。

三，知行合一

你觉得自己浮躁吗？

当你无法做一件枯燥但又重要的事情时，不妨试试每天坚持写下日记随笔。

写日记能让你在一个时间段内沉下心来。只要你有欲望，你就想得到，想得到结果，你就得经历过程，要经历过程，你就要对欲做之事有一个清晰的认识。

你要是暂且还不“知”，写日记来记录你的“行”，别人的“行”，慢慢地参考对照，你就自然会“知”。

在你已经“知”了一些道理的基础上，写日记可以帮助你对一个事物做出检视，考虑每个环节，哪里有问题，哪里需要改 进，促进你对“行”做出修正，直至你得到结果。结果的好坏，你也可以在日记中进行衡量。也许在经历之后，你会对“好”与“坏”重新审视一遍，说不定还会发现“灰”。

知行合一从古至今都很困难。日记随笔是个有利的载体，你写的字促进你“行”，你的“行”能矫正你的“知”，把你的“知”逐渐写下来，让“知”与“行”在一条道上重合，然后就能唤出阿拉丁神灯，达成所愿之事。

It was the third day of our winter holiday. Today, there are many business

in my mothers company. So my mother told me to help my uncle who is the manager

of my mothers company. I sat in my mothers office and help her answer the

telephone. While I was free, I was writing my homework. Although I also have a

lot of time to do my homework, I still do it. Because in my mothers office, I

had nothing to do. If I did nothing, I was wasting my time and my life. I cant

do the foolish thing. We should take good use of our time.

今天早上的英语课上老师不一样了，在这个时候就会有人需要注意了，因为在这个时候的人大多数就是玩手机和睡觉的，因为我们需要回答问题！

老师在今天早上突然之间不知怎么回事就让我们回答问题，让我们在这个时候就有一些难以接受，而且我们也不好意思说一句不会，因此在这个时候就需要努力对待了！我和大家原本是一样的，也属于在这个时候玩手机的人，可是没有想到的是老师让人回答问题的时候会站在面前，根本就不得不认真负责，而且她总是在这里来回转悠着，因此过来的时候就不得不注意了，而不知怎么回事，今天早上回答问题的人大多数就在我们旁边，因此在这个时候就需要小心谨慎，而且她让我们一起翻译，而由于我们根本没有仔细阅读，根本就不会翻译，因此我们几个人在这个时候就用手机百度了一下，不过这节课的翻译一下子就出现了，而我们在这个时候就需要努力看看就可以了。

老师多次在我们这里问答，在这个时候就需要认真对待了，而且由于老师在我们旁边，根本就没有人在这个时候还不认真负责，因为一下子就会轮到我们了，当该我的时候属于突然发生的情况，不过由于我这个人在这个时候看了一下，在这个时候还是有一些印象的，而且我的舍友在这个时候还是打辅助的人，我还得到了这个人的帮助！

Today is lantern Festival. I am very happy. Lantern Festival is Chinese

在这一天，人们都快快乐乐的。在街上，有许多的人，人们看到一个灯笼。在晚上，我和家人一起吃元宵，很美味的元宵。

我非常喜欢元宵节。

It is well-known that smoke is bad for our health. But there are still many

people addicted to it and find it hard to quit. It is a problem make many people

confused. For this, I have some suggestions. Firstly, you have to aware the

disadvantages of smoke. If you don’t aware this, you won’t have the mind to do

it. Then what you need is a strong mind. There is a saying,” Nothing in the

world is difficult for one who sets his mind on it.” So, a strong mind is

important.

What’s more, I have warm tips. If you really want to smoke, you can

have a chew gum instead of smoke. After a while, your desire to smoke will be

fade away gradually. Last, give yourself some awards. When you find yourself

make some progress, you can give yourself some awards. It is good. Hope you can

give up smoke successfully.

I miss you very much, Mum.

I have left you for four days. Maybe it is really a short time. But I feel it is too long. I found that I couldn’t do a lot of things without you. For example, I couldn’t wash my clothes clean. It is too hard for me. I felt it is too troublesome and toilsome, but I’m sixteen years old now. I must be independent. So, Mum, I don’t know what’s what and I’m very stubborn. Sometimes, I disobeied your desire, which made you very angry. Now, I regret it. When I see some white hair in your head, I felt very sad. You are not young nay more. Sometimes you look very haggard. I know that’s because you give too much. You always concerned with my school record, healthy and a lot of other things. My school record always made you very sad. That’s my falt. I’m sorry.

Mum, you are too labbrious. You must have a good rest. I come of my ago now. I will correct my mistakes. You can rest assured!

Mum, I wish you good health and happy. I love you! Mum!(www.kuaidu.com.cn)

小学的时候，很轻松。期待到中学。时间，过得很快，我进了中学，却感到如此的烦闷与伤。到了初二下，压力很大，只能认真的学习，为的是进好的班级。经常听老师说，要努力、认真，现在都还来得及。他们想让我们考得好，比以往付出多些。但是，我们天性贪玩，每天下午都在教室里打闹、下棋、打球，没一点紧张感，都是无所谓了。有些也相信自己的能力，即使不认真也行。老师说，他们想做冲刺班的老师，我们更想，因为老师没换，我们也舍不得。时间过去了，临近考试，作业几乎没有，但是我们都在玩，没有看书。

考试结束了，我们急切的知道自己的成绩，但结果出乎意料，虽然我们班有22个进冲刺班了，但是我们班却不是冲刺班，这意味着我们要到其他班去学习，要离开了，而另外班级的人回到我们班。听到这，我们都不爽，都怪我们没有努力，事实已定，已经无法改变了，变成了我们的叹气声。舍不得啊，毕竟生活了两年了，我们的感情想树根一样，扎进了深深的土里，我们和老师更分不开，我们爱他们，即使他们严厉。还没来得及与他们说再见的。

(2)班，这个对我们来说陌生的教室，感不到一丝温暖，教室里使夏天变得寒冷。这个教室带走了我们的身体，但是却永远带不走我们的心，我们的心在(4)班，她是我们共同的家。我们爱家庭的每个成员

，我们渴望与他们——我们的同胞在一起。

我们22个，还会回来看你们的，放心，我们的心不会跟着去(2)班，因为，我们爱你们。

我们永远是(4)班的成员，无论在哪里，我们都有共同的心。

My school life is very funny . In the morning , I usually go to school at 7：30 . So , I always ran to school or by bike . Then

I see my friends , because I want to play with them . At afternoon . I often do my homework in my classroom , because I want to play the piano in the evening .

译文：

我的学校生活很丰富。在早晨，我通常在七点半到校。所以，我经常跑着去学校或者是骑自行车。然后我会去找我的小伙伴，因为我想和他们玩。在下午，我经常在教室里写我的作业，因为我晚上要去弹钢琴。
