我的学校生活英语作文10句(精品20篇)

My New Life

This summer, I move to a new city with my parents, and I transfer to a new school. I used to live in the countryside, so my new life is so different from before. The school is a little far from my home, so I go to school by bus. After school, I have many activities in school. Classmates are friendly to me. I learn English now. It’s so interesting that I like it very much. Besides, life in city is different. There are many interesting places to go. At weekends, my parents take me outside. We go to the park, the zoo or go shopping. But we are not so familiar with our neighbors. I think we should build good relationship with them.

【参考译文】

这个夏天，我和爸爸妈妈搬到了一个新的城市生活，我也转到了新的学校上学。以前，我住在乡下，所以我现在的生活和以前有很大不同。学校离我的家稍远，所以我要坐公交车去上学。课后，我在学校有很多活动。同学们对我也很有好。现在我开始学英语了，这门课程很有趣，我很喜欢。另外，在城市里的生活也很不一样，有很多好玩的地方可以去。周末，我的爸爸妈妈常常带我出去。我们去公园、动物园，或者去购物。但是我们和邻居们不是很熟悉，我觉得我们应该建立良好的关系。

it looks poorest when you are richest.the fault-finder will find faults in paradise. love your life, poor as it is.

you may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house. the setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich mans abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. i do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.the towns poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any. maybe they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving. most think that they are above being supported by the town; but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means. which should be more disreputable.

cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage.do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. turn the old, return to them.

things do not change; we change. sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。

你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。

你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮;在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。

城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们;可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。

视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。

万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。

My life in school is like a candy. Sweet brings me lots of happiness.

The Chinese class made me know many words and read a lot of texts. In math class, I became good friends with numbers. Every time I get a teacher award “ smiley face ” I will stick it on the textbook.

Class is over. I play games and rope skipping with my classmates. Happy laughter floats on the campus.

My school life is rich and colorful. I love my school.

在一个月光皎洁的夜晚，我们全家人围坐在院子里其乐融融，共享天伦，打破了整个夜晚的宁静。

我提议说：“我们来猜谜语吧。”大家一致赞同。先由我来给大家猜，我随口说道：“一口咬掉尾巴，猜一个字。”弟弟连忙说：“‘牛’去掉上面一竖不时中午的‘午’吗？你出的谜语太简单了。”我得意地说：“你猜错了，我说的是牛尾巴，不时牛头，你把牛头去掉，那算什么？”这时，大家都被逗得哈哈大笑。经过我的提醒，弟弟恍然大悟：“我知道了，把‘牛’的下面一竖去掉，换成‘口’就是‘告’。”我用赞许的目光看了看弟弟：“机灵鬼，答对了。”

接下来该轮到妈妈出谜语了，她想了想说：“一个日本人，拿着一把刀，杀了一口人，留下四滴血，猜一个字。”这时，弟弟因为刚刚答对了一题，高兴地把椅子一翘，摔了一跤，那狼狈不堪的样子逗得我们捧腹大笑。而妈妈却悠然自得地嗑着瓜子。我想，妈妈出的谜语是四句话，就应该是四个部分组成的字，突然，我想到了答案，急忙说：“我知道了，是照明的‘照’，‘日’‘刀’‘口’拼起来就是‘照’的上半部分，四滴血就是四点底，对吧？”这时的我得意极了······猜谜语游戏在一片欢声笑语中结束了。

今天的夜晚是多么美好，多么幸福啊！

Some people think that human needs for farmland, housing, and industry are more important than saving land for endangered animals. Do you agree or disagree with this point of view? Why or why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

In the past, there have been many endangered animals. Now they are extinct. Does it matter? Has our environment been affected by their absence? Has the quality of our own life been changed? The answer to these questions is "Yes." It does matter if we destroy an endangered species habitat to develop more farmland, housing or industrial parks. There is a delicate balance of nature. If one small part is removed, it will affect all the other parts. For example, if certain trees are cut down, bats will have no place to roost. If they cannot roost, they cannot breed. If there are no bats, there will be no animal, or bird to eat certain insects that plague our crops.Our environment has been affected by the absence of certain animals. Certain flowers are pollinated by butterflies which migrate from Canada to Mexico. Some of the breeding grounds of these butterflies were destroyed. Now these flowers are disappearing from certain areas. We will no longer be able to enjoy their beauty.The quality of our life has been changed. America used to be covered with giant trees. Now we have to visit them in one small park. Rainforests around the world are being cut down to make room for humans. We will never be able to see or study this fragile ecosystem.I would encourage us humans to look for other alternatives for our farmlands, housing, and industries. We have alternatives; the animals do not.

Now we are facing two problems of global warming and a shortage of natural resources, both of which are getting more and more serious day by day. Thus, it is important for us to promote aLow-carbon lifestyle.

如今我们面临着两大环境问题：全球变暖和自然资源匮乏，且情况日益严重。由此可见，提倡低碳生活的重要性。

Low-carbon lifestyle covers many aspect of our life like transportation, traveling, home-heating, and so on. In order to promote a low-carbon life, some plans must be carried out as follows. Firstly, don’t waste any electricity and water. Remember to turn off the lights and water taps unless we use them. Secondly, we had better take the subways or bus to work, so as to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide. Thirdly, we should use cloth bags for shopping instead of plastic bags, and use recyclable bowls and chopsticks instead of disposable ones, for it can not only save resources, but also reduce pollution. What’s more, it is of great significance to plant more trees, since trees can balance the carbon dioxide emissions.

低碳生活方式包括了我们生活的很多方面，比如交通、旅行、室内取暖等。为了促进低碳生活，我们应该采取以下的行动。首先，不要浪费水电。要记得随手关灯，用水完后随手关闭水龙头。其次，我们最好坐地铁或是公交车上班，这样可以减少碳排放。第三，我们购物时应该用布袋替换塑料袋;使用可循环利用的碗筷，不使用一次性用品。因为这样不仅节约资源，也减少污染。此外，大量植树也很重要，因为树木可以平衡二氧化碳排放量。

In a word, if we live a low-carbon life from now on, we will have a better environment and more resources left for our descendants.

总之，如果我们现在开始低碳生活，我们将会拥有跟美好的环境，还为我们的子孙后代节约资源。

地球是我们最大的家，我们只有一个地球，要是没有保护好地球。地球就会被消灭掉。我们大家一起来做环保小卫士吧!

周末，我们约好同学一起去山上捡垃圾。捡垃圾是一种学雷锋的精神，也是一种保护环境的行为。我们捡垃圾时，捡了许多的垃圾，有塑料袋、卫生纸、废电池等等。还看见别人随地吐的痰。就先拿塑料袋来说吧!风一吹，就把塑料袋吹到了天空，在掉到了海洋里，各种海洋生物不小心把塑料袋吃进了肚子，就将面临着死亡。所以我们购物时应减少使用塑料袋，用布袋。还有，我们要出门的时候要减少自己开车，就会减少车辆尾气的排放，我们可以用步行或骑自行车，或是坐公交车出门。还有我们一定不要用一次性筷子，不然我们的树木很快会被人们砍伐完。还有我们一定要保护好水和土，这样我们就可以种很多的花草树木。花草树木是地球的保护之物，我们要保护好花草树木。

我们头顶同一片蓝天，脚踏同一片土地。共同的命运把我们紧紧联系在一起，保护地球。让我们携起手来，积极开展宣传活动，并加以行动，努力让我们的地球妈妈恢复年轻活力，让我们的地球妈妈永远容颜焕发!

暑假期间我经常去看望我的爷爷奶奶，他们都已经70岁了，住在乡下。夏天的乡下非常漂亮，我可以在那里做很多有趣的事情。我习惯一大清早起床，呼吸新鲜空气，聆听鸟儿欢唱，欣赏绿树红花和门前的小河。我还喜欢跟伙伴们一起钓鱼。夜幕降临时，我就坐在树下，听奶奶讲动听的故事。我也会给她讲一些城里的新鲜事。每次该回城时，我总是恋恋不舍。我确实喜欢乡下的生活。

我的手机刚充满电，过了没多长时间，它就消耗掉了百分之七了。

有时候，我对着手机目瞪口呆，因为我实在不知道，他到底把电消耗到哪里去了。甚至不禁怀疑，是不是有偷电贼，钻进了我的手机，趁我不注意，悄悄的偷走了我的电。

以前我买了好几个手机，结果都是因为电池的原因，才导致手机被淘汰，换了又换。有时候也会思考，也许现在的手机便宜，只不过是因为质量不行?一个手机根本就用不了几年，只能被批淘汰，去选择其他的新的手机。

也许，随着互联网时代的发展，我们可以看到新的希望，也可以看懂生活和幸福的交割，在我们的身上体现的淋漓尽致。

也许，现在你走到公交车上，不管是年轻人，还是有些年迈的叔叔阿姨，他们都会选择看手机，有的潮一点的还会带着耳机听歌。小时候我最羡慕的就是这种风格，大概也是很大程度上受到了郭敬明的小说的影响，因为当年的他和他的朋友，就是这么酷。

我当然不认识那个时候的郭敬明，处于青春时代的郭敬明，我只是从他的小说当中，看懂了那些忧伤和哀愁，每一个青春期的孩子，大概都会经历的。

可是，戴着耳机听音乐，也要考虑到手机的电量，除了更换手机，我也换了好几个移动电源了。

这就是我们现在的日常生活。

Recently felt really fast time goes by, the ten thousand noisy. For students who are facing the entrance, to justify the play also appears pale. That will make people crazy year.

My mother was admitted to a total nag XX XXX University Middle School lost ten pounds a year, I am surprised that my mom can not lean on two pounds of Beijing University, and my mom are always saying that I slick.

I never know the sky is not blue, the night wind is gentle and still, I will miss watching a child sitting on the stone steps on the moon is a silver trees shed the night. Those days will not come back eventually, because we have grown up, my mind a lot of real things installed, saddled with more responsibility and pressure, too many people take too many dreams.

It is natural that difficulties hide in every corner of our life,so we have to face them at times.But the problem is that sometimes we can do nothing to the challenging situations as our abilities are limited.In this case,what can we do is to change our attitude towards these difficulties.Just as the saying goes,”You can’t change the weather,but you can change your mood.”

Facing the misfortunes in our lives,some people choose to adopt an optimistic attitude to cope with it,while some prefer to hold a pessimistic attitude to complain about what they have lost.It is clear that the former will treasure what they have to lead a happy and substantial life,and the latter will end up with grief and depression for a long time.Therefore,we can say life is like a mirror which laughs as you laugh and cries as you cry.We should keep in mind that attitude determines everything.

Above all,to be bravely faced with happiness and sadness in the future,we need to have an optimistic and active attitude towards life. Only in this way can we surmount the tough surroundings and gain more power to pursue our dreams.

[考研英语对生活的态度作文

Most people miss their grade school days and think they are the happiest time of their life, but whenever I recall them I cannot help feeling a little sad. In my young days I disliked any dismal atmosphere and could not bear the feeling of loneliness, yet the fact was that I often lived in a dismal home and frequently had the bitter taste of lonesomeness. I was not cheerful even in the company of my classmates at the grade school I attended. When I was alone at home the dismal atmosphere often filled me with fear even though thought here went to work in the morning but always came later than I did. For a young person like me t was too bad. Not until I was about sixteen years old had I outgrown t feeling of fear. Then there was that nagging feeling of loneliness either at home of at school. My father changed his job several times and with each change of his job we had to move and I had to attend a different grade school. Before I finished my elementary education I had attended three grade schools and thus it was difficult for me to cultivate enduring friendships. The feeling of being friendless was a constant source of pain to me. Those unhappy grade school days have of course long been over. I still have an abhorrence for any dismal atmosphere and lonesomeness, but hardened by experience I now find them less disturbing than they were.
