用英语写一封书信给朋友最新20篇

The word, friend, covers a wide range of meanings. It can be a nodding acquaintance, a comrade, a confidant, a partner, a playmate, an intimate colleague, etc.

Everyone needs friendship. No one can sail the ocean of life single-handed. We need help from, and also give help to, others. In modern society, people attach more importance to relations and connections. A man of charisma has many friends. His power lies in his ability to give.

As life is full of strife and conflict, we need friends to support and help us out of difficulties. Our friends give us warnings against danger. Our friends offer us advice with regard to how do deal with various situations. True friends share not only our joys but also our sorrows.

With friendship, life is happy and harmonious. Without friendship, life is sad and unfortunate. I have friends in high positions and friends in the rank and file. Some are rich and in power. Some are relatively poor and without power. Some are like myself, working as a teacher, reading and writing, content with a simple life. We all care for each other, love and help each other. We feel we are happiest when we chat and exchange ideas with one another. With my friends, I know what to treasure, what to tolerate and what to share.

I will never forget my old friends, and Ill keep making new friends. I will not be cold and indifferent to my poor friends, and I will show concern for them, even if it is only a comforting word.

[参考译文]

“朋友”这个词的意义很广。朋友可以是点头之交、同志、知已、伙伴、玩伴、亲密的同事等。

人人都需要友谊，没有人能独自在人生的海洋中航行。我们给人以帮助，也需要别人的帮助。在现代社会，人们更重视关系和联系。一个有非凡魅力的人有许多朋友，他的力量在于他的奉献能力。

生活充满矛盾和斗争，我们需要朋友的支持，以帮助我们摆脱困境。朋友提醒我们警惕险滩。朋友主动给我们以忠告，告诉我们如何应付各种不同的局势。真正的朋友与我们同甘共苦。

有了友谊，生活幸福、和谐；没有友谊，生活变得悲伤、不幸。我有地位高的朋友，也有地位低的朋友；有的有钱有权，有的较穷且无权无势。有的和我一样教书，读读写写，满足于简朴的生活。我们都互相关心，互相爱护，互相帮助。我们觉得朋友们在一起闲谈交流思想时感到最开心。对我的朋友们，我知道该珍惜什么，容忍什么，分享什么。

我决不会忘记老朋友，同时继续结交新朋友。我对穷朋友绝不冷漠，而是关心他们，哪怕只是一句安慰的话。

亲爱的朋友：

您好！也许你还不认识我，我叫林一帆，是个活泼开朗的大男孩，现在在福建省三明市建设小学读五年级。我的特长有很多，二胡、乒乓球、羽毛球我样样拿手。先让我介绍一下我的家乡吧！

三明，这可是个山清水秀的城市，名胜景点更是数不胜数，个个都是美丽至极。要说我最喜欢的啊，就数玉华洞啦！古人云：“不游玉华洞，枉为福建人”，玉华洞还堪称为天下第一洞，真是一点都不奇怪，真是一点都不奇怪，洞内的每一根石笋、石柱、钟乳石都形成了千奇百怪的景象，有的像果实，有的像动物，还有的像一根笔，一个个是那样惟妙惟肖，真不愧被徐霞客赞道：“此洞炫巧争奇，遍布幽奥。”当然，三明的景观并不只有这一个，下次你来三明玩，我来当你的导游！

我想，你的家乡也很美吧，也有很多风景名胜吧，希望你能在回信中向我介绍介绍，最后，希望我们能保持书信联系，每一个月能交流一次。当然，我更希望我们能到各自的家乡游玩，在信中交流交流每个人的学习方法吧！

need someone to talk to and share our happiness and sorrow. Last night, I saw a

movie, the protagonist’s friend asked him what was a friend, and he gave the

answer that a friend was someone you can talk about your secret and you would

share food with. It is a child’s opinion, and it is simple and real. A friend is

someone who we can trust, we don’t have to hide ourselves and just who we are.

We will feel comfortable with them. When we are in trouble, we will think of

them and they will come to help.

Speaking of her first feature, her handwriting is very neat and beautiful. Learning a new word, she would observe earnestly the structure of the word, and then write with rapt attention. And she again and again every day to practice calligraphy, wrote her satisfaction.

The second feature, is that she is very careful. The final exam last year whole year only one person to play 100 minutes, who is this man? She is Liu Yanzi, later I ask her, she said: "the test of time first to the topic, earnestly to thoughtfully, meticulously check again after finish."

The third characteristic is that she is ready to help others. One day the teacher told us to clean the classroom, we will pick up the dishcloth to clean up, after a while, the classroom was cleaned. And now, the classroom clean, cloth is dirty. Before I go to the faucet rub rub, can is still not clean. She came over and said to me: "a la hora: let me help you wash!" I saw her in one hand and a Angle, hard to rub up and rub her hands were red, finally the cloth to rub clean, but she was too tired to full head big sweat.

提起我的好朋友，一种敬佩之情便油然而生。她就是刘彦孜。她有一张娃娃脸，一排整齐的留海，一双小眼睛却炯炯有神，她经常笑眯眯的，走起路来腰板挺得直直的，可精神了。

说起她的第一个特点，她的字写得非常工整、漂亮。每学习一个新字，她都要认认真真地观察那个字的结构，然后再全神贯注地写。而且她还每天一遍又一遍地练习书法，写到她满意为止。

第二个特征嘛，就是她非常细心。去年期末考试全年级只有一个人打100分，这个人是谁呢?她就是刘彦孜，后来我向她请教经验，她说：“考试的时候首先要认认真真地审题，再仔仔细细地做，做完后再一丝不苟地检查。”

第三个特点就是她乐于助人。有一天老师叫我们打扫教室，我们便拿起抹布打扫起来，不一会儿，就把教室打扫干净了。现在可好了，教室干净了，抹布却脏了。我到水龙头前搓呀搓呀，可就是搓不干净。她笑眯眯地走过来对我说：“我来帮你洗吧!”只见她一手拿一个角，使劲地搓起来，把她的手都搓红了，终于把抹布搓干净了，她却累得满头大汗。

瞧!这就是我的好朋友刘彦孜，你喜欢她吗?

Dear friends,

Hello!

How have you been doing? Are you okay? Where did you go this summer

vacation? I now introduce a good place to you, that is my hometown. My hometown

is He Street, which is about 20 kilometers away from the downtown of Hezhou

City. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides with a wide basin in the

middle.

When you are driving on the road, you will involuntarily look around the

surrounding mountains: the mountains on the east are like a giant Chinese

dragon, winding and winding; the mountains on the west are like high humps with

continuous peaks; the mountains on the south are plum red. The small tree on the

hill to the north is green. If you walk on a mountain path and look up at the

blue sky, the blue sky is like a blue belt; looking down on the earth, the earth

is like a beautiful picture. Isnt this living in a fairyland?

When you walk out of the mountains, you will clearly hear the crowing of

chickens, the singing of children and the bells of the mountain village

elementary school. At this time, the appearance of the mountain village will be

revealed before your eyes: a brand-new cement road leads directly to the

entrance of the village; small bungalows are strewn together; under the sun,

industrious people are watering and fertilizing the rice fields. The village

here is like a pearl, inlaid on the placket of the lichen.

When you come to my home, the hospitable grandparents will bring out their

own peanuts, bean sour, radish sour, mung bean porridge and other delicious

things to greet you, and tell you the fun that will never be finished. s

story……

Dear friend, in fact, there is nothing peculiar about my hometown. It can

be said that it cannot be simpler or simpler, but the unique charm of the

mountain and the unique taste of the person are not worth your visit. ? You are

welcome to come and play!

I wish you learning progress! May all go well with you!

Yours,

亲爱的朋友：

你好!

你近来好吗?身体还好吧?今年暑假你去哪里玩了?我现在介绍一个好地方给你，那就是我的家乡。我的家乡在贺街，它距贺州市城区约20公里，它四面环山，中间是宽广盆地。

当你乘车走在路上时，你会不由自主地环视四周的群山：东边的山像一条中华巨龙，蜿蜒盘旋;西边的山想高高的驼峰，峰岭连绵;南边的山上李子红了;北边的山上小树绿了。如果你走在山间小路，仰望蓝天，蓝天像一条碧蓝的带子;俯视大地，大地像一幅美丽的图画。这难道不是生活在仙境中吗?

当你从群山中走出来时，就会清晰听见鸡鸣犬叫，还有孩子们的歌声和山村小学的钟声。这时，山村的容貌便会展现在你眼前：一条崭新的水泥路直通村口;一幢幢小洋房错落有致;阳光下，勤劳的人们在稻田里浇水、施肥。这里的村庄就像一颗珍珠，镶嵌在大地衣襟上。

当你来到我的家时，热情好客的爷爷奶奶便会拿出自家产的花生、豆角酸、萝卜酸、绿豆粥等等好吃的东西招呼你，给你讲永远也讲不完的有趣的故事……

亲爱的朋友，其实我的家乡并没有什么奇特之处，可以说简单得不能再简单，朴实得不能再朴实，可是它那山独特的魅力，那人独特的情趣，难道不值得你来看看吗?欢迎你来玩哦!

祝你：学习进步!万事如意!

尊敬的王爷爷：

您好！

您还记得我吗？我就是上次那个来拜访您的潞中学生—李玉萍。我想您一定也还记得我吧。我至今还记得当时拜访您的情形呢！

春节前夕，我与几个同学怀着无比激动的心情前往您的住所。还没到您家就远远看您带您的小孙子在门前玩耍，笑容是那么慈祥，我们迫不及待的冲到您家门前，停下了车子，您看见我们，问明来意后，热情的招待了我们，刚走进您家就看见了一只硕大的党徽挂在墙上，显得庄重而神圣！坐下后，您有和我们谈起了您对党的热爱及以前的故事。

您在青年是就成为了第一批光荣的党员，您的心里是多么的自豪啊！中国共产党是一个先进神圣的组织，身为其中的一员，您坚守自己的职责，主动带头弘扬正气，您告诉我们，有一次您村上有一个人出了事故，急需血液，可是与他相配的血型很难找，当您知道后立马到医院验血，结果您与他的血液是正好相配的。因此，您用您的血液换回了一条鲜活的生命，听到这里我不禁感叹，您真是以为无私的党员！但听了您下面的话我不禁呆住了。您说，您所救得那个人使您以前的同学，可就是因为他，您失去了好几个获得荣誉的机会，甚至还差点被学校处分，我看着您镇定自若的神情，心中崇敬之情油然而生，您的品质如此之高尚，不计较过去的恩怨，您的人格散发出来的魅力，令我折服，您是真正的“宰相”，不愧于当个党员。

面对工作您总是很认真，负责，并且也能够影响到他人去认真对待工作，您从不伪装自己，总是实事求是。面对错误，您勇敢的面对，从不为自己的疏忽找借口，这些都令我十分佩服，值得我们广大青少年儿童学习！您说，有一回跟同学们一起出去玩，在公交车上看见了几个混混打扮的人物。他们鬼鬼祟祟的，一看就是要干坏事，果然他们趁一位妇女不注意时偷了她的钱包，然后迅速下了车，您和您的同伴一同下了车，跟踪他们并找到了他们的贼窝和同伙，您立刻报了警，谁知道在警察到得那一刻。狡猾的歹徒察觉了，个个魂飞魄散，四处逃跑，其中一个头目抓起一把水果刀向您刺去，幸亏您机灵的一躲，逃过了此劫，但手臂任然划出了一条大口子，鲜红的血液不断向外流，你咬咬牙，反而笑了，调皮的说到：“他让我吃刀子，我就让他坐牢。”您憨憨的笑着，仿佛什么事情都没有发生一样。这就是您，身为党员为人名着想，即使牺牲自己的利益，给人树立了正确的，良好的榜样。

与您接触下来我真是受益匪浅，您让我懂得了很多。让我吸取了以前不良的教训，端正了自己各方面的行为和态度。以前，身为班委我并没有尽到自己的职责，没有很好地带领同学们建立良好的学习气氛，也没有树立良好的榜样，从您的身上我学到了负责和自律。从那以后，我便严格要求自己提醒自己要对班级负责，要控制住自己，给同学树立良好的榜样，让班级进步。

我是个充满了热心和爱心的小女孩，但是我总是吝啬将这些表现出来，自从听了您的事例，我深有感触，凡是都要做出来，表现出来，这也是对自己的一样挑战，只有大方的献出自己的爱心，别人才会接受。也只有这样才能影响他人也拥有爱心并奉献爱心。

您犹如悬崖上的莲花，临危傲放，您犹如青翠的松柏，挺立高大，您的精神与品质感染着我们每一个人，也激励着我们向着更高更远的目标前进！

祝您身体健康，幸福生活！
