关于向日葵的英文作文（经典20篇）

假如我是向日葵，我要萌发在春的温柔里。

春雨淅淅沥沥地下，拨动着浅绿色的大地，唤醒每一颗充满希望的心。我也从疏松湿润的泥土里睁开惺忪的睡眼，带着与生俱来的对光的热爱急切地生长。

风是春般的心跳，吹在身上出水芙蓉般的柔婉。我沐浴着雨露阳光一点点长大，不只是看看日出日落，而有了一点点思索，便有了一个更大的梦想——开出美丽的花朵。我春天的梦想只是草草打了个稿，然后阳光就忽然炙热起来了。

假如我是向日葵，我要绽放在夏的开朗里。

夏蝉初起的时候，我看到一切都绿得不可开交。我开始肆意生长，并且和别的同伴一样长出了一个圆圆的花盘，顶在头上像一个灿烂极了的冠饰。我是花地里最后开放的向日葵，却不因此而卑微，因为我的花瓣色泽能让所有人感动，如此明艳，如此不可压抑的绚丽。有人说，这是卓然不群的风采。

假如我是向日葵，我要成熟在秋的淡泊里。

秋天的娇叶翩纤如蝶，显露出生命自然的本色，花瓣也在凉得透彻的风里迅速地枯萎，苍老爬上了我的脸颊。不过所幸的是，生命同时也给予了我丰硕的果实。我对着远方的山峦微笑，骄傲了一夏的花盘终于谦逊地垂下了头，有人把它砍了下来，满是收获的喜悦。而我也在这秋里和果实一起成熟了起来，我知道自己已经完成了使命，无怨也无悔。

假如我是向日葵，我要消逝在冬的宁静里。

冬天有纯洁无暇的雪，雪没有叹息的飘落，簌簌作响，很可爱。而我，怀揣着追寻，在季节变迁中轮回，向往诗意的梦想，却如此坚韧地等待下一个春天。

我最喜欢的花不是美丽的牵牛花，也不是火红的凤凰花，是金黄的向日葵。

向日葵也叫太阳花，因为向日葵好像一个太阳一样。春天到了，向日葵长出了一个绿绿的小芽，过了几天，它长出了几片小叶子。又过了几天，长出了一根又细又长的茎。夏天到了，长出一个花苞和几片大叶子，没过多久，花苞慢慢地开了，几天后，花盘慢慢地变黄了，最终成了一株美丽的向日葵。秋天到了花盘里长出了许多果实，也就是瓜子，密密麻麻地铺满了整个花盘。冬天到了，花瓣都落下来了，向日葵也枯萎了，除了有几株向日葵的叶子还在上面长着，其他的都变得光秃秃的了，不过这个时候的叶子已经变成了棕色的。

这就是我喜欢的向日葵，你们喜欢它吗？

From ancient times to the present, the war continues, what causes the war? Resources, territory, property have become the main cause of the war.

In 1937, Japan launched a war against China. The reason is very simple. Japan is an island country with poor resources, and is at the junction of the Pacific and Eurasian plates. Earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis make the Japanese people feel fear and uneasiness. In a word, a lot of people are at risk of sinking at any time in a overloaded ship. So Japan wants to expand its territory and point its spearhead to China.

After the end of the two world, Japan is a defeated country, forcing Japan to sign the "Peace Constitution", not allowing Japan to own its own army, but to have defensive weapons, so the Japanese army is the self defense force.

In Sino Japanese peaceful exchanges, the two countries economy has been developing by leaps and bounds. After the Japanese nuclear disaster, the Japanese economy almost collapsed, and China pulled the Japanese economy out of the mire. Peaceful development is good for every country, but in April 2012, when Shintaro Ishihara spoke in the US in Tokyo, Japan suddenly threw aside the topic of Japanese governments purchase of the Diaoyu Islands. In fact, Shintaro Ishihara bought the Diaoyu Island for his son, Ishihara Nobuhirono, to run for the Democratic Party. I hate him, because I think Shintaro Ishihara is too selfish to push the topic to the Japanese government for his son.

Ishihara also donated money from the Japanese people to the government, and Fukuda Kahiko could not force it. The government had to stand, or cant cross national front. This irresponsible attitude has made the two sides start to go to zero. If China really began to use economic means, actually, though Japan suffered serious losses, Chinas losses were also great.

Yes, Chinas national strength has risen, but under the conditions of peace, the development of China is so fast. If the Chinese and Japanese War, only 50% of Chinas chance to win. Although Japan is only a self-defense force, its military force is far greater than China.

So, I love peace, and I want to appeal to other people to love peace. We all hope for peace. So I hope that Japan will come back to the track of peace negotiations. Only in this way will Asia peace, and the friendship between countries and countries!

Dear parents,

“You always say that I am naive. In your eyes, I am always the little girl who will never grow up”. This is my favorite song and also the sound from the bottom of my heart. You made me feel so lucky to be your child. But I find our hearts getting further apart as time goes by.

You strictly forbid me to do entertaining activities even if I finished my homework, such as watching TV or playing computer games. Based on this, I couldn’t get any grade less than A. It is said that genius only means hard-working all one’s life. But I think combining exertion is the best way for learning.

The most important thing to me was that I feel frustrated for having few friends to confide in due to your strict rules. I can’t have a play date, participate in a school play or even choose my own extracurricular activities. Who will accept such a boring and troublesome person? I am just an ordinary girl who can’t stand loneliness, so I always feel contradictory.

On the one hand, I’m grateful to have you in my life, to disappoint you was the least I would do. On the other hand, what you asked for me made me felt like a puppet rather than a real person. I appreciated your efforts to pull me away from a self-indulgent life, but your obsessively extravagant strictness has pushed me into an isolated and insensible one. I need a little freedom so that I will concentrate on something I really interested in.

Father and mother, these words were hid in my deep heart for a long time. I love you, and I believe if you change some harsh rules. I will have a wonderful life.

Best wishes.

Yours, daughter

This winter vacation, I with my parents to the eastern suburbs Xuelianshan ski skiing.

I decided to try on the flat and smooth, usually the legs move freely at the moment but butingshihuan, like lead, good effort! I use the poles support body to move forward to slide, rows of sliding scars white snow, I feel very proud. But there was the highest hillside in the blue sky that tested me, and I was nervous and worried.

Well, I decided not to think about, or act at once! But my mother patted me on the shoulder, remind me not to entertain, skiing is about strength and skill. My heart suddenly in his throat, I dont want to be badly bruised! Thought, I decided to walk down the slide, each time you start to slide down choice from the bottom of the slope, and gradually decline of heightening slope, finally goes directly to the top.

No way, modaobuwukanchaigong! Put on a huge set of heavy snowshoes, skis, I step by step carefully from the top to the bottom of the slope to walk. And finally to walk, Im tired of a sudden fall in the snow, just put your skis and poles, a throw, dont want to slip! I really want to eat a meal, sleep, but just not hard in vain? I dont want to be a bear, being laughed at, and he stood up, choose a little gradient slide down the slope. Although the hand and arm is very tired, but I am not discouraged, I finally from the hillside slowly sliding down the bottom of the well.

Carrying my skateboard race again and again, the biting wind let my face is frozen, snow like tens of thousands of needle sharp as a chip on my face, but I dont care so much. I slip side side to memorize the action essentials, suddenly I slipped to the bottom of the slope. Ah, skiing is so exciting, I cant imagine that skiing was so wonderful!

So I learned to skiing slowly and slowly, and I finally dared to slide down the top of the hillside. In a process of gliding, I like a swallow in the wind like light, like an arrow as agile, distant trees quickly back to my ears, soft bottom beckoning me. I succeeded in conquering the high and steep slope!

How happy I was that day, I finally learned to skiing!

Happiness is important in our life. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it.

I will never forget one thing. Once, I had a bad mark at a math test. I was shy and afraid to meet my parents. But when I got back home late, my parents knew what happened, they said to me: “It doesn’t matter, my child. Remember we’ll be always beside you when you need help. We believe you can be better next time. Never give up!” I was moved and made up my mind to work harder and harder.

I feel very happy. Whenever I am in trouble, I can feel my parents’ love. I want to be a good child for my parents.

幸福

幸福在我们的生活中很重要。实际上，如果你用心去做，幸福就一直在你身边。

我永远不会忘记一件事。有一次，我在数学考试中得了一个不好的分数。我很羞愧，不敢见我的父母。但当我回家晚了，我的父母就知道发生了什么事，他们对我说:“没关系，我的孩子。记住，当你需要帮助时，我们总在你身边。我们相信你下次能做得更好。永不放弃!”我被感动了，下定决心要更加努力学习。”

我感到很幸福。每当我遇到麻烦，我都能感受到父母的爱。我想成为我父母的好孩子。

[以幸福为题的英文作文

今天，我把几粒向日葵种子种在花盆里，为它们浇水，把花盆放在阳台上，接受阳光的照射。

过了几天，我种在花盆中的向日葵种子发芽了，这使我多么高兴啊！我看着葵花籽发出的嫩芽，心里美滋滋的。只见两片嫩绿的小叶片被一根水灵灵的主干顶着，就像喷出的一根水柱到顶端分开两股一样。那嫩绿的枝叶，那么柔弱，好像只要一口气就可以把它吹断似的。芽长大了，叶子变得更绿了，主干也长高了，长粗了，两张叶片向上张开，叶面上的脉纹可以清楚看见了。又过了几天，向日葵的主干粗壮了，长到半尺多高，颜色由嫩绿变成黄绿。主干上的管子露出来了，是白色的。两片叶子长成椭圆，露出了尖角，叶面上白绒绒的，那是长了叶毛。

中午，我把向日葵端到阳台晒太阳，主干的颜色又变了，由黑黄色变成了黑红色，原来脆弱的身躯变得坚硬有弹性，上面还长满了白色的绒毛。主干的顶端又长出了两片新叶。向日葵亭亭玉立，在微风中轻轻摆动，那样子真么可爱。

又过了几天，几片叶子长得又宽又大，向日葵长出了花蕾，黄色的花瓣真好看。微风吹来，向日葵轻轻摆动，好像莲花在水面上荡漾，又好像是一位穿着绿裙子的少女在舞蹈。看着向日葵，捧着两盘葵花籽，向着太阳微笑，令我的心情无比喜悦。

晚饭过后，和对门家的小女孩嘉嘉出去遛弯，她今年五岁，喜欢在头上扎许多小辫子，穿可爱的裙子。我一直觉得带孩子是一件很好玩的事情，可以玩好多稀奇古怪的游戏，肆无忌惮地在大街上玩耍。

难得夏天有这么清爽的晚风，我抱着一个黄色的皮球，嘉嘉骑着四个轮子的儿童自行车，一路发出“隆隆隆”的声音。她妈妈时不时喊一句，慢点，注意安全。到了广场，坐着许多爷爷奶奶，他们拿着大蒲扇，一边扇着一边聊天，笑得合不拢嘴。

嘉嘉骑着车子从一个小坡下来，她妈妈再把她推上去，然后她又骑着车子“刷”下来，玩得不亦乐乎。这样来回几次，她妈妈的脸上已经有了汗珠，却还要一边擦着汗一边陪她玩。我提议，咱们来拍球吧。嘉嘉高兴地把车子撂到一边，就拿起了球。我以为她拍着球我们就可以歇会儿，可她非要数着，于是我们开始了漫长的数数，一二三四五……大概数了好几百，她才停了下来。我们在一旁鼓着掌，嗓子却都要冒了烟。

我第一次这么强烈地体会到，作家长的可真不容易，必须要有足够的细心和耐心。她妈妈和我坐在花坛边聊天，嘉嘉显得有些不高兴，抱着球要我们陪她一起玩，于是我们开始玩传球的游戏。

小孩子总是那么容易就得到满足，玩累了，嘉嘉开始撒娇，她妈妈虽然很累，但还要抱着她哄她，把笑脸给她，而把疲劳与不安藏在身后。

这让我想到了向日葵，天下的父母都像向日葵一样，对着孩子，永远是阳光灿烂、笑容满面，让他们知道这世界的美好，而身后的阴影却从不让他们看见，即使再苦再累，也不会表现出来。

所有的家长都是这样吧，他们辛苦了一天的工作，回到家也不能好好放松，做饭洗衣服看孩子，他们放弃了电视电脑等娱乐，一心只陪着自己的孩子，这样的爱是最无私最伟大的。

那么我们呢？做子女的又是怎样对待父母的？我们长大了，翅膀硬了，妈妈的一句叮嘱不愿听，爸爸的一句劝言不理会，只顾自己的学习工作事业，连一点时间也不留给他们。可是，我们小的时候，他们花在我们身上的时间永远也无法计算清，我们又怎么能嫌和父母说说话、唠唠嗑都是在浪费时间呢？

抽空陪陪自己的父母，像儿时他们看你学骑单车，心中装着一颗不安的心；像儿时他们耐心地看你拍皮球，给你数数，数到嗓子都干了；像儿时他们看见你的一点点进步，鼓着掌时露出的美好笑脸。

百善孝为先，一个人如果连自己的父母都不孝顺，连自己的父母都不愿意陪着，更别提成功了，他一定是最失败的人。因为他没有道德，他不懂得爱人。

向日葵也需要我们的陪伴，在他们的心中，永远会把笑脸对着孩子，我们也一定要将阳光洒向他们的身上。

great progress in my study. A year ago, my study was bad and I didn’t want to

work hard, I would be great. In this year, you cared much about my study and

helped me a lot. When I made mistakes, you always pointed them out and helped me

to correct. Now, my study is much better than before, and I want to express my

gratitude to you. Hope you everything goes well.

Dear Santa Claus,

Hello, as time goes by, the sun and the moon fly so fast, and it will be

Christmas soon, you have to give gifts to obedient and very good children. It

reminds me of this time last year. Its long before Christmas and Im thinking

about what I want for Christmas. A few days before Christmas, I put my wish card

in front of my bed early, hoping Santa Claus can see it and help me realize it.

You may be asking, "Why put up the wish card so early? Why not wait until

Christmas Eve?" My answer is: That is because I am afraid you sent the wrong

gift, give you enough time to prepare. On Christmas Eve, I went to bed early,

thinking that I would wake up and open my eyes to see the gift you gave me. But

when I opened my eyes in the morning, I found no present at the end of my bed,

nor on my desk. I was worried because I thought you had hidden the present for

some joke with me. I searched my home carefully, but still there was no present.

I waited another day with great anticipation, but you and your gift still did

not appear. My mother told me that because they do not care for the environment,

Shijiazhuang is seriously polluted, haze weather is bad, you lost your way, so

you can not send Christmas gifts to the children on time. Is that right? Three

days later, I finally received your gift, which was accompanied by a letter of

apology. In the letter, you explained that due to the weather, you delayed the

delivery of the gift. At the same time, you also hoped that we could take good

care of the environment and be guardians of the environment.

Dear Santa Claus, another year has passed, in this year, my friends and I,

protect the environment, save water, try to be a good environmental small guard,

at the same time we also mobilize our father, mother, uncle, aunt and we take

action together, less drive a day a week, green travel. After our joint efforts,

shijiazhuang sky blue, water green, I believe this time you will be able to send

gifts to the children on time!

Looking forward to your friend: Li Zijian

亲爱的圣诞老人：

您好，时光流逝，日月如梭，马上又要到圣诞节了，您又要给听话又很乖的小朋友派送礼物了。说到这就又想起去年的这个时候了，距圣诞节还好久我就开始想圣诞节自己要的礼物。圣诞节前几天，我早早的把自己的愿望卡挂在自己床前，希望圣诞老人能早点看到并帮我实现。您也许会问：“为什么这么早就把愿望卡挂上去呢?为什么不等到平安夜呢?”我的回答是：那是因为我怕您送错了礼物，给您充足的时间来准备。平安夜的晚上，我早早的就上床睡觉了，想着一觉醒来睁开眼就能看到您送我的礼物。可是，当我早上睁开眼睛，发现我床头没有礼物，我的写字台上也没有礼物，我着急了，以为您和我开玩笑把礼物藏起来了，索性把家里认真得找了个遍，还是没有。我怀着期待的心情又等了一天，您和您的礼物仍旧没有出现。妈妈告诉我，是因为他们不爱护环境，石家庄污染严重，雾霾天气恶劣，您迷路了，所以不能准时把圣诞礼物送到小朋友手中。是这样吗?三天后，我终于收到您的礼物，伴随礼物而来的还有您一封致歉信，信中你说明了因为天气原因，致使你延误了礼物的派送的时间，同时您也希望我们能够爱护环境，做环境小卫士。

亲爱的圣诞老人，又一年过去了，在这一年里我和我的小伙伴们，保护环境，节约用水，努力当好环境小卫士，同时我们还动员我们的爸爸、妈妈、叔叔、阿姨和我们一起行动起来，每周少开一天车，绿色出行。经过我们大家的共同努力，石家庄的天蓝了，水绿了，相信这次您一定能够准时将礼物送到小朋友手中啦!

盼着您的朋友：李子健

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.
