+ 加入清单我的名字叫梦想。爱因斯坦曾经说过“每个人都有一定的梦想,这种理想决定着他的努力和判断的方向”。相信每个人的心中都会有一个我。我可以是画家,可以是宇航员,可以是老师,可以是军人……
我分布在世界的诸多角落,在所有人的人生跑道的终点上等待着他们。一部分人,他们坚持不懈、刻苦奋斗,一步步向我跑来,最后他们冲过了终点线,实现了我;还有一部分人,他们好吃懒做,每天无所事事,随着时间流逝,跌倒在跑道上,再也站不起来,我也就成为了一个泡影。
你想实现我吗?如果你想实现我,那么你就需要不断地努力学习,熟练地掌握所学到的知识,把全部精力放在学习上。即使每天要学习到深夜,即使每天睡觉的时间只有四五小时,你也要坚持。因为这是你为了实现我必须付出的努力!“只有经历狂风暴雨,我们才能看到彩虹。”当你成为了常识渊博、事业有成之人的时候,你的梦想就能实现了。

当你有了我,有了目标,你就能够奋斗起来,奔跑起来了。不要再虚度光阴了,让你的生活充实起来,让你的人生变得有意义吧!

篇1:以成功为话题的高一英语
全文共 1126 字
+ 加入清单There is no doubt that we all want to be successful. But what’s the main
concern of the way to success? From Abraham Lincoln’s famous remark, “Give me
six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the
axe”, I learn that if we want to achieve success, we must make full preparation
for it.
Only if we are well prepared, can we catch the opportunity which occurs
once in a while. In our daily life, we have to expand our horizon and lay a
solid foundation for success. It will be a long way to be successful thus we
have to accumulate our knowledge day by day. And we can’t achieve success in one
or two days. It will help us solve problems more efficiently if we have a broad
horizon. What’s more, opportunities always occur out of our expectation so we
have to make ourselves well prepared. If we prepared, we will catch up with it
whenever it comes up.
Opportunities give priorities to the people who make preparation for them.
What’s more, success goes along with opportunities. We should develop the
ability to solve problems in different and efficient ways therefore we can make
our way to success more easily.

usually lasts for 15 days.
Days before the festival, people clean their houses. They think cleaning
sweeps any bad luck. They decorate their houses with paper cuts. On the eve of
the festival, family members get together and have big meals. Then they watch
the Spring Festival Gala on TV. At midnight, they set off fireworks to welcome
the New Year. During the festival, kids get lucky money from old people. People
visit their relatives and friends. They wish each a happy year and good luck.
How happy we are.
Best wishes!
Yours,

+ 加入清单Someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a
book, whose pages are infinite”. I don’t know who wrote these words, but I’ve
always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to
be. We are all in the position of the farmers. If we plant a good seed ,we reap
a good harvest. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
一些人说“我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。”我不知道谁写了这些话,但是我一直很喜欢它,因为它提醒了我,我们能够创造我们想要的未来。我们都是农夫。如果我们播下好的种子,我们将会丰收。如果我们的种子很差,有很多草籽,收割的将是无用的庄稼。如果我们什么也不播种,什么收获也没有。
We are young. “How to spend the youth?” It is a meaningful question. To
answer it, first I have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” Youth
is not a time of life, it’s a state of mind. It’s not a matter of rosy cheeks,
red lips or supple knees. It’s the matter of the will. It’s the freshness of the
deep spring of life.
我们是年轻的。“怎样度过青春?”这是个有意义的问题。为了去回答它,我首先要问“从‘青春’这个词中你能理解到什么?”青春不是人生的一个时期,而是精神的一种状态。青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝,而是深沉的意志,。青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
A poet said “To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild
flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. Several
days ago, I had a chance to listen to a lecture. I learnt a lot there. I’d like
to share it with all of you. Let’s show our right palms. We can see three lines
that show how our love.career and life is. I have a short line of life. What
about yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way. Well, let’s
make a fist. Where is our future? Where is our love, career, and life? Tell
me.Yeah, it is in our hands. It is held in ourselves.
一位诗人说“从一粒沙看世界,从一朵花看天堂,把无限放在你的手掌,永恒在一刹那里收藏”。几天前,我有了一个听讲座的机会,从中我学到了很多东西。现在,我想把这些与大家共享。让我们伸出右手,我们可以看到手掌中的展示我们的爱,事业和生活的三条线。我在生活方面这条线很短,那你们的呢?我想知道我们是否可以用这种办法去看我们的未来。好的,让我们一起握拳。我们的未来在哪儿?我们的爱、事业和生活在哪儿?告诉我!是的,它们就在我们的手中。它们被我们自己掌握着。
We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can go
better itself. Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened. From the
past, we’ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. We’ve learnt that
we can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. Failure doesn’t
mean you don’t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way.
Failure doesn’t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder.
我们所有人都希望未来能比过去更美好,但是未来能自己变得更好。不要因为结束而哭泣,微笑吧,为你的曾经拥有。从过去来看,生活是艰苦的,但我们是更坚强。我们知道我们不能选择感觉,但是我们能选择和它相关的东西。失败并不意味着你不拥有成功,它只意味着你应该用另一种方式去做这件事。失败并不意味着你应该放弃,只意味着你应该更加努力。
As what I said at the beginning, “we are reading the first verse of the
first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. The past has gone. Nothing
we do will change it. But the future is in front of us. Believe that what we
give to the world, the world will give to us. And from today on, let’s be the
owners of ourselves, and speak out “We are the world, we are the future.”
正如我在前面所说的“我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。”过去的已经过去,无论我们无力改变,但是未来却在我们前方。相信“我们给了世界什么,世界也将给我们”。并且从今天起,让我们一起做我们自己的主人,一起大声说出“世界是我们的,未来是我们的。”

My Hobby
English is one of my best subjects and I started learning English when I
was ten years old.
But at the very beginning, listening seemed a little difficult for me. So I
have been doing a lot of listening practice, such as listening to tapes,
watching English TV programs. And I found it really helped a lot. In fact, there
are some more helpful ways to learn English well. For example, I enjoy singing
English songs and I want to join an English club or find a pen pal from
English-speaking countries.
I believe that nothing is impossible if you put your heart into it.

We met at 7 oclock at the school gate. The weather in Beijing that day was great. At around 8 oclock, we arrived at Xiangshan Park. There is a high tree on the bottom of the hill. We had a party and played games under the tree. Then we climbed to the top of Xiangshan Mountain. It was not very difficult for us to do it. Next, we had lunch at the top of the hill. It was delicious. After lunch, we saw some birds. They were friendly. And we saw a whole picture of Beijing. "What a beautiful city!" I said. At that moment, we all felt so proud. I live in Beijing now. The 2008 Olympic games was held here.

篇12:以梦想为话题的抒情作文
全文共 685 字
+ 加入清单我们活在浩瀚的宇宙里,满天飘洒的宇宙尘埃与星河光尘,我们是比这些还渺小的存在。你并不知道生活在什么时候改变方向,陷入墨水一般浓稠的黑暗里,你被绝望拖进深渊,被疾病拉进坟墓,被挫折践踏的体无完肤,你被嘲笑,被讽刺,被讨厌,被怨恨,被放弃,但是我们总是在心里保留着希望,保留着不甘心被放弃的跳动着的心。我们依然在大大地绝望中小小的努力。这种不愿被放弃的心情,变成无边黑暗的小小星辰,我们都是抱有不同梦的小小星辰。
我想我愿成为一颗星辰,不是因为它的奇幻。我可以使夜色不再寂静,增添几分光彩;使宇宙不再乌黑,又有一份美丽。使寂静孤独者拥有希望;使梦想破灭者找到方向,让星辰不在黑暗,我们都成为照亮星河的星辰。
我想我愿成为一座灯塔,不是因为它的明亮。将夜里寂寞的大海点亮一片光明,为乌黑的世界送去一份希望,为迷茫者送去安全与方向。我想我愿成为一颗太阳,不是因为它的耀眼。我可以为失望者点亮希望;为悲伤找的到快乐;为失败者寻找目标;为孤独者照亮无边黑暗;为世界每个角落都存有一份为暖。融化了冰川,点亮了黑暗。
我想我愿成为一颗星星,不是因为它的玲珑。我可以在漆黑的夜幕里增添一份活跃,可以在没有色彩的天空上点缀一片美丽,虽然我的力量渺小,却有着独一无二的美丽。我想我愿成为一片雨滴,不是因为它的声音。我可以滋润一方干涸的土地,长出一片庄家。我可以灌溉一片种子,使它们发芽开花。我可以给予水分给那些常年干旱的国家,让它们拥有生的希望。我想我愿成为一片雪花,不是因为它的梦幻。我可以为树林大地铺上纯洁的白毯,可以将孩子们送往快乐的彼岸。
我想,梦想其实可以是为别人。

+ 加入清单凝望着天边的夜空,思索着梦想与现实,星空是那样灿烂,又是那样寂静,像是一朵朵无声开放的花朵在展现自己美好的梦。柔和的月光散落在大地上,让我产生了无边的美好遐想。
梦想是美丽的,它比现实美好,比幻想现实,是对未来美好的愿望。有了星星,让天空更加明亮;有了鱼儿,让大海更加欢畅;有了梦想;生命才会更加辉煌。
以前,我的梦想是多变的。昨天,看了新闻上消防员勇敢救火,我就想做一名消防员;今天,看了考古学家发掘古墓,我又想成为一名考古学者;明天,我不想写作业,我又想当一名老师。但是,随着年龄的增长,我明白了梦想是不能胡乱更换的,它是一个人的奋斗目标。如果随意变换,以前的奋斗不就等于零了吗?并不是所有的梦想都是一天两天实现的,它需要努力奋斗和耐心的等待。梦想实现时是美丽的,可是美丽的背后往往是艰辛坎坷的。
如果梦想是一个摇篮,那就是用努力的枝条编织起来的;如果梦想是一片大海,那就是用经历的滴水积累起来的;如果梦想是一片森林,那就是用千年的时间生长起来的……
梦想的天空中繁星点点,天边无限,梦想是没有限制的,可以是自由的想象,想象着未来的美好,期盼着一天又一天,美好事物的到来,天边的天空让人产生美好的愿望,一颗颗星星就像是一个个闪烁着光芒的梦想,梦想正展现着诱人的成就与希望。
美好的梦想像一条通往成功的小径,但路边长满了有刺的荆草,当梦想将要磨灭的时候,也许成功只有几步之遥。
坚持自己的梦想吧,让梦想展现辉煌!

Freedom for many children is the coming day when they could improve myself in their own way to use my 24 hours. They can study language by watching film instead of working on boring grammar and multiple choices. Boys and girls can have enough time to do sports to keep health not going on a diet as a result of junk food and a lack of sports caused by too much homework.
Freedom is as simple as my playing piano all night without worrying about disturbing my 14-year-old neighbour who has to go to school the next day for my house is specially made.
It also could be freedom in my dream that one day, political democracy becomes true. Freedom in my life is the name of all kindness and happiness.
People have common desire under the sun. For mankind, freedom commonly means respect, love, blessing and dignity. For some people, freedom is that some day, he can give up his own interests to guarantee others’ rights. It is no wonder that so many people fought for freedom even didn’t hesitate to give up their lives when necessary .
I would like to be a freedom fighter for human rights some day in future.

篇20:以梦想为话题英语作文
全文共 2740 字
+ 加入清单Ambition is the decision one makes and the resolution with which he carries out that decision. It provides us with the required driving force to accomplish any undertakings in our life. Just as Joseph Epstein, a famous American writer put it, “And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed.” Indeed, once we make up our minds to choose to do something, then our life becomes meaningful and specifically orientated. This notion of life, as far as I observe, is closest to truth and does apply to almost all aspects of life.
First things first, ambition renders us a sense of mission. No matter what decision you make you have to be responsible for your choice. Your choice procures you a sense of orientation, or more specially a sense of mission. And only a strong mission may enable one to accomplish greatness. Caesar of the ancient Roman Empire was urged by his ambition “I came, I saw, I conquered.” And became an unrivaled empire builder in the history of Rome. John Milton, stimulated always by his ambition that aimed at writing some “mighty lines” which England would unwillingly forget, had in due time secured his position as the second Shakespeare in the history of English literature.
In the second place, ambition can bring one’s potentials to the full. Ambition may well serve as a catalyst activating one’s dormant potentials. Without ambition one’s potentials will remain slumbering like a dormant volcano. A case in point is Ms Zhang Haidi, a Chinese Helen Keller. It was her ambition to be a useful person has turned the almost paralyzed Zhang Haidi into a well-accomplished figure whose achievements would dwarf those of some normal people aim at the sun, though, at worst, they may probably land on the moon.
Influential as it is upon us, however, ambition must be channeled in the right direction. If wrongly directed, one’s ambition may bring havoc on him and others. Hitler, whose ambition was to conquer Europe by whattever evil means, finally turned him into a demon. It was this demon that almost cast Europe into an unfathomable abyss of anguish and suffering. Another case is Macbeth whose ambition was to become the king of Scotland. However, his ambition was materialized by the murder of King Duncan. Consequently, unbearable guilt and psychological agony drove him to his tragic doom.
To sum up, ambition can benefit us tremendously if wisely and correctly channeled, otherwise it may ruin others and ourselves. A poet says: life can be bad; life can be good; life can be dirty; life can be sad,; life can even be painful. In my mind’s eye, a person can make his life beautiful, meaningful and rewarding and stand out as a respectable personage if he is motivated by a well-orientated ambition.
