关于向日葵的英文作文（汇总20篇）

我喜欢许多花，有桃花、梨花、梅花等等。但我最喜欢的花是向日葵。

春天，它破土而出，长着几片像巴蕉扇的叶子，它的花瓣很多，它的花盘很大。

夏天，它的茎越来越粗，花越长越大。

秋天，它的果实成熟了，花盘显得特别重，向日葵累的把头都低了下来。

冬天，人们把向日葵的果实采走。把它的果实制作成各式各样的休闲产品。

向日葵它还有一个特殊的特点，就是太阳公公早上在东边升起，向日葵就向东望;太阳公公晚上在西边落山，向日葵就往西。也就是说太阳公公往哪里走，向日葵就跟着。传说向日葵是太阳的妈妈，所以向日葵要看住它的孩子。

我爱你，向日葵。我更爱你那无私奉献的精神。

During last summer vacation, I paid a visit to my uncle’s. It was the first time I had seen the sea. Tow years ago my uncle, a closed friend of my father, transferred from Shanxi to Yantai, a beautiful port city; and then my aunt joined him a couple months later. And a year later I became their guest and was going to stay with them for a week. I was fascinated by the vastness of the sea, the clean and soft sand on the beach, the seagulls flying in the sky and the beauty of the golden sunset clouds over the dark blue water. But I missed the sunrise each day, for I couldn’t get up early enough.

On the fifth day, the alarm clock woke me up when it was still dark outside, I hurried to the beach and stood in the cool breeze there, the sky was turning grey little by little, the sea was calm and all was so quiet that I felt I was surrounded by mysteries, then suddenly, in the faraway horizon, golden beans of light were shooting up into the sky. A moment later, a corner of the sun appeared. The sun was rising very slowly and reluctantly as if it was unwilling to leave the sea. At last the entire sun lay on the horizon, so big and so red, it looked like a huge ripe orange or a tender half-boiled yolk. It hesitated and shivered a moment, then said goodbye to the sea and rose into the air. The scene was very beautiful, touching and magnificent which I’ll never forget.

Dear Mary,

Thanks for your last letter. Im so glad that you have been able (at last! ) to arrange a holiday in Australia. As I fear I wont be able to meet you at the airport when you arrive, nor will I be able to be home until later in the afternoon, so here are some instructions and suggestions.

There is a bus from the airport to the city. It is much cheaper than a cab. Take the bus to the city and ask to get off at Town Hall railway station.

To get to my place in the eastern suburbs you have three options. You can either take a cab, a bus or the train. I suggest you take the train, since the airport bus will leave you right at the station. Get off at Cliff Station. From there you can either walk to my place (about ten minutes) or take a taxi. Probably you should take a taxi as you will have luggage.

When you arrive at my flat, ring the intercom for Flat 2. My friend Lillian will be at home and she will open the front door for you and let you into my flat.

Presumably you will be tired and want to sleep. But if you feel like some exercise after that long flight, you could stroll down to Cooper Park, which is only ten minutes away ? you can see it from the window.

Cheers and looking forward to seeing you.

Yours sincerely,

Annie

P.S. I will leave something for breakfast in the fridge. Help yourself to anything you want.

Useful Expressions:

Considering your present situation, I propose that you should apply for the post.

向日葵的花语是：沉默的爱，爱慕。——题记

记得小时候我最喜欢的花就是向日葵，因为它总是像着阳光笑，关于向日葵有这样一个故事：“这这是一个凄美的希腊神话传说，克吕提厄是一位海洋女神。她曾是太阳神赫利俄斯的情人，但后来赫利俄斯又爱上波斯公主琉科托厄。妒火中烧的克吕提厄向波斯王俄耳卡摩斯告发了琉科托厄与赫利俄斯的关系。俄耳卡摩斯下令将不贞的女儿活埋。赫利俄斯得知此事后，彻底断绝了与克吕提厄的来往。痴情的克吕提厄一连数天不吃不喝，凝望着赫利俄斯驾驶太阳车东升西落，日渐憔悴，最终化为一株向阳花。”

我感觉向日葵的花语不应该是沉默的爱，爱慕，而是痴情。

There are many festivals in china. And among them, I like the most  the Spring Festival. Because of it, not only  the biggest holiday of the year, but the start of a new year, but also all of us all the people, come together festival.

Before the Spring Festival, people go home, no matter where they are. Usually, we in the new years Eve dinner. Then the family sat together to share their lives or aircraft. Some people play games or go out to play. On New Years day, people get up early to meet people who say. Children can get lucky money from relatives. In the coming days, we will vit relatives to pay New Years call, give them. In a word, it  the family reunion and we all the time to enjoy it.

Th  our happy Spring Festival, Do you feel happy?

Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.

The recent rainy weather is really not a happy new year, but the show already full in the rainy sky, sometimes see people on the street were home to catch the least things hurriedly, everyones face is wreathed in smiles, their hands still carrying new clothes, it can not help but remind me to new year, the custom of wearing new clothes.

When wearing? * * * Qiao hammer also play hissing? Ne busy chaos benzyl push to put the exhausted ash cellar??? They die cutting process? Yi satin. Gray glare? Suddenly I Meng Yao Li Mei "gun? Nan Jia Yun Yi Li and Huang sole? Mei capsule?? BR>early in the Spring Festival comes before, in order to receive relatives and friends to pay New Years call we will put, inside and outside the home, clean, will put up a couplets on the door, pray for good luck. The traditional poetic couplet is written on black or gold in red paper on the language, what "Caiyuanguangjin" be promoted step by step "and" rich house ", and its all auspicious words.

Send kitchen is big event before the spring festival. Listen to my grandma said, send kitchen is on December 24th of the lunar calendar, the day God banished to the emperor to report the things of the earth. People want God to speak, so that one day people will be specially prepared food offerings to worship god.

The day of new years Eve is very important to people. On this day, people are ready to resign from the old and eat the reunion dinner. Once a year reunion dinner can fully show the family members love each other. After a reunion dinner, began to staying-up late on new years Eve.

The most important thing for children to enjoy is not only to wear new clothes and play firecrackers during the new year, but also to receive the lucky money that adults give to them. The big people send red packets to the younger generation, which means to bring them the best wishes and good luck. The amount of money in the red packet is not important, mainly to make the children happy, the main meaning is in the red paper, because it is a symbol of good luck.

In the sound of the firecrackers, the Spring Festival has passed long ago, but the taste of the year is still lingering, and it still gives people endless aftertaste.

小区的花坛里，悄悄的长出了六株向日葵。

站在花坛旁边，一片香气扑面而来。仔细一闻，这可不是来自向日葵，这好像是花花草草脚下大地的气息，自然的气息。又仿佛是这种让人心旷神怡的香气哺育了一旁的许多花草，广玉兰，桂花和向日葵。大地是他们的母亲！

一阵和风吹来，向日葵手掌一般的绿叶似乎在和我打招呼；一朵云飘过，虽然为它带来了一时的清爽，却使它昏头转向。多亏了是太阳每天从东方升起，为它点燃了它心中的那盏灯。但对向日葵来说，天地间最重要的可能只有两样东西：太阳和大地。一个在最高处，一个在最低处。向日葵的生命力也非常强，只需人给它一个机会，剩下的，它便会用自己那点微不足道的力量去努力，直到成功！

向日葵的茎很粗，虽说比不上树，但足以和一株小树的树杆相比，上面还带有密密的短短的白色针毛，就像一件驼绒衣。它的叶子像一把大蒲扇，上面的纹路十分特殊，像是叠罗汉的架势，一层接一层，有一种立体感。叶背面长出了类似广玉兰的短绒毛，在开花的位置上，层层冒出了让人觉得无穷无尽的叶片来。

向日葵从一粒小小的种籽，变为绿芽，再长高成为最终看到的向日葵，都扎根在同一片土地，在春到秋三季之间完成它看似理所当然的生长任务，不是为了开花结果……而是为了完成一个必须践行的任务；追逐，追逐它心中的太阳，直到它的果实——它的心被无情的拿走……

现在我终于明白，向日葵心中那所谓的太阳，其实就是它那颗被理想所占据心，正因为她有了这个巨大的理想，才会永不停歇地追逐。虽然，它的起点是最低的，但是脚踏实地的它，肯定能到达梦想的最高点！

We all wish (hope) to be happy， so we should take good care of our

health。

Health is the best treasure (which) a man can possess。 Money can do many

things， but it cannot buy happiness。 However， so long as man has good health， he

can enjoy the pleasures of human life。

In order to insure good health we must pay attention to three things。 They

are-nourishing food， fresh air and proper exercise。

我们大家都期望快乐，所以我们就应好好保重健康。一个病人因为失去健康而很少快乐。

健康是一个人所能拥有最好的财富。钱能做许多事情，但是它却不能购买。然而，只要一个人有良好的健康，他就能享受人生的乐趣。

为了保证良好的健康，我们务必注意三件事情。它们是营养食物，新鲜空气和正当运动。

今天，我去公园玩。

走到一簇花丛中，忽然我眼前一亮，一道金光闪烁。我向前走去，拨开小草，哇!是一片向日葵。它那金黄的花瓣在花丛中无比耀眼，花心中一粒粒的小瓜子像一只只小蚂蚁，粗壮的茎在微风中直立着，让向日葵看上去很神气。可是，我发现太阳朝着哪边，向日葵就跟着朝哪边，它的花瓣还是弯弯的，这是这么回事呢?于是我飞快地回家查资料。

哦!原来是这样：向日葵茎部含有一种奇妙的植物生长素。这种生长素非常怕光，一遇到光线照射，它就会到背光的一面去，同时它还刺激背光一面的细胞迅速繁殖，所以，背光的一面就比向光的一面长得快，使向日葵产生了向光性弯曲。因此，植物就会向有光一面弯曲结果，就会产生花盘跟随太阳转的自然现象。这种性质在植物学上被称为向光性，由于它总是向着太阳，所以又叫：正向光性。解决了这个问题，我心里很有成就感。

从这件事告诉我：只要留心观察，多提问，就能发现生活中更多的奥妙。

你们知道向日葵是怎么长成的呢？

它的种子是圆溜溜的，外面还有一层坚硬而光滑的壳。壳的颜色是淡淡的土黄色，还有棕色的条纹。三月初种下的种子经过几个星期就能长成一个个碧绿的小新芽。两片叶子摸上去很光滑，也感觉很脆弱，可能一用力就会被折断。

慢慢的，向日葵一天比一天长得更好。茎变得越来越粗，也长得越来越高。茎上的叶子也变得更多了。再往上看，茎的顶端挂着一个含苞欲放的花骨朵。很多翠绿的叶子包裹着金黄色的花瓣。叶子摸上去感觉有点刺手，不过还是很软。

初夏的向日葵花都已经完全开了，还结出了葵花籽。摸着向日葵的花盘，感觉像在摸一块海绵一样，很有弹性，软软的。

秋天，向日葵的叶子慢慢枯黄了，花瓣也都皱了，缩在了一起，好像马上就要凋谢了。花盘里的葵花籽长得很饱满，多得数也数不清。茎都撑不住上面的沉甸甸的花盘了。

你们知道向日葵为什么会跟着太阳转吗？原来最主要的原因是光线的影响。它的生长素是背光分布的，向着太阳那一侧的浓度较低，背着光那一侧的浓度则比较高，所以背光的一侧生长较快，而向光的一侧生长较慢，就使茎部产生了逆光性弯曲，使花盘跟着太阳转。

向日葵既会跟着太阳转，又会长出好吃的葵花籽，向日葵真特别啊！

向日葵，圆圆的脸，从太阳起时一直到太阳落下山，总是向着太阳微笑，所以有时人们也称它为“朝阳花”

向日葵的花盘为什么总是朝着太阳转呢?我查了《十万个为什么》之后，再经过一上午的观察才明白，原来在花盘下面的茎干里有一种奇妙的“植物生长素”。这种生长素很调皮，喜欢和太阳公公玩“捉迷藏”。当红红的太阳从东边升起。照射在向日葵上，它花盘下面的茎干里的“植物生长素”就躲到背光的一面去。因为它一遇到光，就会受到破坏。这些“生长素”躲在花盘茎干的背面生长，就使花盘朝着太阳公公弯曲，中午，太阳光强烈时，花盘正好与太阳垂直，这样“生长素”就一直不被太阳照着，生长也特快。

你们说我观察得用心吗?向日葵好玩吗?小朋友你们见过向日葵吗?我家的这一盘向日葵给我带来不少快乐呢!

你们看见过向日葵吗?你们会画向日葵吗?向日葵的脸时时刻刻朝着太阳，接受着阳光的沐浴。在外公的田里，就种着几株生机勃勃的向日葵。

早上，阳光普照大地。向日葵们把头对准太阳，尽情享受清晨第一缕阳光的问候;中午，它们总仰起那金色的脸来，让阳光洒落自己巨大的花上;晚上，太阳徐徐落山，它们又面向西方，像一个个士兵，庄重而严肃地站着，向天边最后一抹晚霞告别。就连下暴雨时，它们还是顽强地仰着头，努力寻找太阳，不找到绝不罢休。六月过了，太阳更增加它的威力，当花儿不想争奇斗艳的时候，向日葵却逐渐开了起来。这时向日葵的茎上长出了密密的茸毛，像一条毛茸茸的大尾巴，在太阳的烘烤下，挺着胸膛，不屈地站着，孕育着新的生命。这几天，外公的向日葵像病了似的，一个个把它们的大脑袋垂了下来。我问外公向日葵为什么不再向着太阳转了，外公说：“向日葵就快成熟了，它在向人们暗示，到了收获的季节了。我把向日葵提了起来一看，果然黑压压的一大片，葵花籽个个饱满，像个个胖娃娃，仿佛碰一下就会掉下来似的。我摘下一颗葵花籽，剥开壳，一缕清香直沁肺腑。

我爱向日葵，它的果实既可以炒着吃，又可以榨葵花籽油，浑身都是宝。向日葵，还有它执著的品质值得我们每个人用心去学习。

After reading "the tea flower girl" I really appreciate the shock force that this world famous book brings, my heart is still trembling for a long time after reading. I dont know how many people have shed tears of sympathy and sadness for hundreds of years, but it really makes me feel sad and sympathetic for a long time.

Dumass "La Traviata" is a masterpiece. In it, the love of Armand and the camellia is the theme. They love each other, but they do not get the sympathy of the world, but they have been treated with a lot of unequal treatment. It is normal that no one is willing to let his son marry a prostitute, the camellia is a prostitute, and she sells her youth for food. This point in this line, she and other women not what were, but she is different from other women, she has a clever mind, she read many books, know a lot of things, she has her own thoughts and ideas, is a know astronomical knowledge of geography is not the sort of woman, only know how to use the appearance to attract a man prostitute, she will get so many upper class men love and loved this is why.

Undoubtedly, this is a tragic tragic, touch one deeply in the heart, people sympathize, beautiful love, especially in the middle of the nineteenth Century bourgeois society early in the society the fickleness of the world, naked money relations, more let a person greatly.

I am deeply sad and sad for the tea flower girl.

1．词语选择的重要性

在The Right Word at the Right Time的“序言”中，编者对词语选用的重要性作了一个很好的比喻：“Using the right word at the right time is rather like wearing appropriate clothing for the occasion：

it is a courtesy to others，and a favor to yourself-a matter of presenting yourself well in the eyes of the world."

显然，说话或写文章时用词适当比穿着适当难度大得多，因而也具有更大的重要性。在我国，古人写文章时常为一个词语的选用具思苦想，因而有“语不惊人死不休”的说法。

成语“一字值千金”也说明了选择词语的极端重要性。有时“一字之差”造成令人遗憾的败笔，或招致成千上万的经济损失。这些反面的教训也告诉我们必须重视词语选用的问题。

2．词语选择的可能性

实际上，我们每个人的脑子里都有了一个或大或小的词库，只要我们肯去发掘，往往可以得到更好的表达方式。这是我们做好词语选用的主观条件。

从客观条件广看，我们有各种类型的词典和参考书，只要我们平时多翻译、多阅读，写作时勤查考，就会在词语选用上不断进步。当然，一部好词典也不会毫无缺点，更难以面面俱到，因此在这里我们应牢牢记住著名英国作家、评论家和辞书编纂家Johson的话：

week-long holidays,good or bad?whats your opinion?

our national day is coming. we shall have days of rest,presumably weeklong holidays again just like the weeklong may day holidays. many people welcome weeklong holidays and are busy planning where and how to spend the seven days;whereas many other people do not applaud. as to me, weeklong holidays mean a span of dullness, boredom, melancholy and helplessness, and i think anyone who had experienced the holiday sufferings in may would share my feelings.

i well remember that from may day, to be more exact, a few days earlier than may day, the shopping season started.most shops extended their shopping hours to respond to their overwhelmingly enthusiastic customers. there were special sales with discount coupons and instant lucky draws and various sales promotions in nearly every big store to lure po tential customers into spending more. crowds of shoppers flocked towards department stores, enjoying their high purchasing power.

there were traffic jams almost everywhere, people waited in long queues at bus-stops:and taxi-stands? looking entirely exhausted.tempers flared when people gotpushed or if someone else cut the queue.impatient drivers honked at each other every now and then.

the railway station was congested with travelers who rushed to the platform like a swarm of bees and then squeezed their way into the train for seats as if there would be no tomorrow.

in the restaurants, tables were shared. a platoon of waiters filed out from the kitchen armed with various containers of eatables. orders were taken feverishly and then shouted across to the kitchen. excitement reigned everywhere as waiters ran hither and thither to fill the orders.

the above are just some vivid scenes that happened a few months ago. everywhere was chaos and chaos everywhere. i am really afraid the drama will soon be repeated.

true,weeklong holidays help activate economy, but what about after-holiday depression? no doubt, people can have a lot of leisure, but leisure does not always bring a lot of pleasure.

爸爸说要带我去梁山游玩，我高兴不已。同样高兴的还有几只可爱的小蚂蚱，它们在我的脚边跳来跳去，好像以为我会带着它们一起去似的。

我和爸爸来到了梁山，经历了很多新奇有趣的事情。最令我难忘的便是在我下山的时候，我和爸爸在一旁休息，几只黑黑的蚂蚁爬到我的黑皮鞋上。它们或许以为我的脚是一辆黑色的小汽车，以为我能够把它们带到北京去。难道它们和那几只小蚂蚱是好朋友么。

我们在梁山看到一个深深的小洞。我问爸爸这是什么?爸爸说：“这是孙二娘的脚印。”我奇怪的问爸爸：“爸爸，孙二娘的脚印不会有这么深吧?”爸爸说，“可能是孙二娘练武的地方”。

我们又往前走，看到一块大石头上面写着“黑风口”三个大字，书上说这是李逵把守的地方，我看见大石头旁边雕刻着黑旋风李逵的塑像，他威风凛凛的站在那里，他手握两把斧子，仿佛在说：“哪个坏蛋敢来我就把他干掉，我就看看哪个鸟人不怕死!”

最后，我们来忠义堂，看到天空中挂着一面黄底黑字的旗子，上面写着“替天行道”，我进了正面的屋子看到宋江坐在中间，他的左边是吴用，右边是卢骏义，书上说吴用和卢骏义是宋江的左膀右臂，我们非常崇拜宋江，就给宋江恭恭敬敬磕了一个头。两侧的房子里有梁山好汉的塑像，有打虎英雄武松、豹子头林冲、黑旋风李逵、青面兽杨智、花和尚鲁达、还有阮氏三兄弟，一个个形态各异，栩栩如生。

看完了，我们就来到山脚下去闯关了，穿过吊桥，再爬网山，过独木桥，走迷宫，好不容易到了二关，二关是当年武松和鲁智深把守的地方。然后我们去看战船，战船可大了，都有两层楼那么高。

最后，我们又去了动物园，看到了可爱的小白鸽和顽皮的小猪趴在妈妈身边，还有美丽如仙的丹顶鹤和小鸭子在水里追逐游戏。看完动物，我们就坐上公共汽车，唱着歌，心情美美的回家了。

This years new years Day is my most happy day!

On that day, my father and the new years Day was 400 words. Mom。 His brother came to Nanning to see the lantern with a light step.

We came to South Lake Park. Four red. The Yellow Dragon first jumped into my eyes. The dragon was shining with gold. It looked like four sea dragons, flying in the broad Drum Tower Square. The colorful lights around it are just like the ocean of lights. It seems that the galaxies landed on the earth. I also entered the heaven like a synchro. The 400 word is "the 400 words of the new years Day".

We went through the bustling crowd Nang Nang, finally get to the front, watch carefully, I saw two dragon dancing around a large fireball dance, jump … … they stand tall, with two rows of sharp white teeth, brandish a beautiful body, flying in the sky. The glittering and transparent body, like a crystal stone, glitters. The big fan - like tail rose high, as if it was very proud and proud of the great achievements of the motherland. In the distance there are a pair of dragons! The four dragons are good and we are now singing, now dancing, celebrated New Years day. Ah! The wisdom and sweat of the one billion people are remitted into a torrential river. Is the great cultural industry of our great motherland not just like this joyous dragon?

Look at the lantern. Its really nice. I have to look at the lantern on the new years Day!

This new years day, I had a great time!
