简单的英语话题作文【通用20篇】

Different people have different views on success. Some hold that making a great deal of money means success. Others argue that holding an important post in the government means success. Still others believe that having a high academic title at a famous university or a research institute means success.

In my opinion, success means brilliant achievement in our work. In other words, no matter what we do, making outstanding contributions to the development of our country and bringing help and happiness to others is success.

To achieve success, we should, first of all, have a clear long-term goal in our life. Besides, we should have short term goals in different periods of life. As we know, it is these short term goals that make our long-term goal possible. Second, we should be both perseverant and hardworking. Whatever we do, there are always two possibilities: success and failure. We should never lose heart when we come across difficulties or when we are confronted with failure. Instead, we should learn from our experience, build up our confidence and work even harder and smarter towards our purpose. Third, we should follow the examples of those who are successful and learn from them. Finally, we should try to get along well with our classmates and colleagues. We should care for each other and help each other in our study, our work and our life, because team work is of great importance in the realization of our dream.

If we can follow these principles, we will certainly achieve remarkable success in our life.

参考范文：

April 8 Monday Fine

Recently we had a class meeting on the topic of My Chinese Dream. Inspired by President Xi’s Chinese Dream, everyone talked enthusiastically about his understanding of the Chinese Dream. We all believe that this dream will come true in the future. I also talked about my own dream. I have always wanted to be a doctor. Not only can doctors save people’s lives but also they are doing a respectable job. Doctors can also help people to live a better life with their professional knowledge. To realize my dream, I must try to work hard from now on. I must learn as much as I can so that I can get into a good medical college, where I can prepare myself adequately for the job of a doctor. Only in this way can I accomplish my goal.

My family only there peoples, there are my father, my mother and me.

I’m fourteen year old. I’m very active, so I like playing with my friend, and I like playing computer.

My father is driver. He is strong and tall, but he looks very funny. He likes watch newspaper very mach.

My mother works at a factory. She is beautiful and tall too. She likes sports ,so she is very thin .

This is my family. Do you like my family? I like it very mach.

刘老汉家本有四亩地，可自从村里来了筑路队，便有一部分土地被无条件地划了出去。刘老汉百思不得其解，决定去讨个说法。

他来到村支部。微微发胖的村支部书记听过刘老汉的倾诉后立刻答复：“这事儿简单，不出一个星期，我一定把土地还给你。”刘老汉一听这话，心里乐了，便满怀欣喜地回了家。

等呀等，一个星期过去了，两个星期过去了，可还是看不见什么动静。

刘老汉心里纳闷，便再次来到村支部，但是得到的答复却是：“书记不在，有事去乡里找张乡长。”

刘老汉只得来到乡镇府。可门卫告诉老汉，乡长刚下乡去督促秋收工作。刘老汉没法子，只能坐在传达室里等待。大半天后，满脸通红、一身酒气的乡长回来了。刘老汉连忙迎了上去。张乡长洗了把脸，然后眯着眼睛倾听刘老汉的遭遇。听完叙述后，张乡长马上一脸严肃，肯定地说：“你放心，这事儿简单。我一定尽快帮你解决。”刘老汉得到如此肯定的承诺，满心欢喜地回去了。

等呀等，一个星期过去了，两个星期过去了，转眼第三个星期也将过去了，可依然还是杳无音信。

刘老汉急了，又匆忙赶到了乡镇府，可门卫告诉他乡长因公出差，要一个月后才能回来。

百般无奈之下，刘老汉只得搭上了去县城的班车。在县委大院前，他犹豫了片刻，可还是进去了。门卫将他带到了接待室。不一会儿，一个腆着大肚子，笑眯眯的中年男子走了进来。这就是县委李副书记，他亲切地和刘老汉握手，并询问刘老汉的详细情况。这使得刘老汉有点受宠若惊。他急巴巴地将事情的经过一五一十地告诉了李书记。李副书记顿时收起了笑容，一拍桌子：“岂有此理，这些人当官不为民做主，我一定要严肃批评。老乡您放心，你这事简单，用不了多久，我就帮你解决问题。”刘老汉听了，心里想：这下可遇到好官了。于是便再一次满怀希望地回家等待。

时间过得很快，一个月过去了，两个月过去了，但筑路队依然占着那片土地。

老汉茫然了……

导语：勇气是一个人在面对死亡时冷静和控制的能力。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Hemingway often thought of courage as a persons ability to be calm and controlled in the face of death. His theme is presented in his novel "For Whom the Bell Tolls?" the story "The Old Man and the Sea" and in our textbook "A Days Wait". By misunderstanding a different thermometer the boy thought he was running a high fever and would soon die. But he took his death bravely and waited quietly for it. The boy showed us he had courage.

I think such a definition of courage is far from enough. Courage should not be limited and related only to death. In ordinary life there are common things that also show a persons courage. For example, on a bus trip, a thief was trying to steal a girls purse. Some people saw it, but kept quiet. They were afraid to be revenged by the thief. The brave stood out and stopped the thief.

Courage means truth and justice to me. The person in a high position often hear songs in praise of him. Some people are sincere. Some are only flattering the superior in their own favor. The leader also needs courage to welcome criticism as well as those who have the courage to criticize him. Such courage may come from mutual understanding. I think a man of courage will value truth and justice, and not hesitate in his actions to do what he thinks is right, There is no such word as fear in his dictionary.

【参考译文】

海明威常常认为勇气是一个人在面对死亡时冷静和控制的能力。他的主题是在他的小说“丧钟为谁而鸣?”“老人与海”的故事和我们的教科书“一天的等待”。由于误解了另一个温度计，男孩以为他发高烧，很快就死了。但他勇敢地死了，静静地等待。男孩告诉我们他有勇气。

我认为这样一个勇气的定义是远远不够的。勇气不应仅限于死亡。在日常生活中也有一些常见的东西，也显示一个人的勇气。例如，在公共汽车上，一个小偷试图偷一个女孩的钱包。有些人看到了，却保持沉默。他们害怕被报复的小偷。勇敢的人站出来制止了小偷。

勇气对我来说意味着真理和正义。那个地位高的人经常听到赞美他的歌。有些人是真诚的。有些人只为了自己的利益奉承上级。领导人也需要勇气来欢迎批评，以及那些有勇气批评他。这种勇气可能来自相互理解。我认为一个有勇气的人会重视真理和正义，在他的行动中毫不犹豫地去做他认为正确的事，在他的字典里没有恐惧这个词。

Mothers Day Mother’s Day is a holiday when children honor their mothers with

cards, gifts and flowers. In many countries, such as Denmark, Finland, Italy,

Turkey, Australia and the US, people cel lebrate Mother’s Day on the second

Sunday in May while many other countries of the world celebrate their own

Mother’s day at different times through out the year.

One of the best ways to celebrate Mother’s Day is to give your mom the day

off. Let her relax with the rest of the family doing all the housework. Usually,

dad and the kids will let mom sleep late that morning as they go into the

kitchen to prepare her favourite breakfast. Never forget to place a vase with a

single flower on the table beside the food. The kids can pick up the flower from

the garden or buy one from the shop. Arrange everything nicely before mom wakes

up. Some families will carry the food and mom’s favourite sections from the

newspaper to her bedroom so that mom can have breakfast in bed. Presents and

cards from the kids can be handed to mom by themselves or just placed on the

dining table.

After breakfast, go anywhere mom likes to go. Shopping, swimming or going on

a picnic in the garden. Make a special Mother’s Day dinner or take mom out for a

great meal in a famous restaurant she loves most.

Anyway ,let mom enjoy the whole day and feel your love, and then the Mother’s

Day can be a good one. As Mother’s Day is around the corner, it’s time to take

actions!

Strong Will

Since I go to high school, I live in the school and stay away from my

parents.

I have three roommates. At the beginning, we have trouble in staying in the

same room, but now we have got used to it. One of my roommates impresses me so

much. Since she came to our room, she has kept the habit of reading novels when

we go to bed. She told me that when she lived with her parents, she dared not to

read because her mother would blame her for sleeping late. Now she is very happy

that she is out of control, it seems that she is free. But I feel sorry for her,

because she is short-sighted now. What’s more, she is lagging behind other

students in the study. Staying away from her parents, she is not strong enough

to behave herself.

We should have the strong will and behave ourselves.

坚强的意志

自从我上了高中，我就住在学校，远离父母。

我有3个室友，刚开始，我们不习惯同处一室，但是如今，我们已经习惯了。有一个室友让我印象很深刻，自从她住进我们的房间，她就在我们睡觉的时候保持看小说的习惯。她告诉我们在她和父母住在一起的时候，她不敢看小说，因为她妈妈会责怪她那么晚睡觉。如今她很高兴再也不受控制了，似乎她得到了自由。但是我为她感到遗憾，因为她现在已经近视，而且，在学习方面也落后于其他同学。离开了父母，她不够强大，无法自律。

我们应该有坚强的意志，并且自律。

How to Behave Well?

In order to build a civilized city, we students should try our best to

behave well in the activities.

Its a good habit to keep our clothes clean and tidy. Our city should be

kept clean every day. Dont throw litter or spit about. Its good manners to say

"Thank you" and "Please" and so on. We should never say dirty words. Be friendly

to others and always ready to help the people in need. For example, when we are

on a bus, we should give our seats to the old and the women with babies. We

should also obey traffic rules. When the traffic lights are red, we should stop.

If everyone behaves well, our city will be more beautiful and more

My home town is in the center of Xuzhou which was a quiet and beautiful place. In the past, there were many animals. They were lovely and nice. The air was fresh and there were many birds fly in the sky.

Over the past years, it has changed a lot. At the present, it becomes a modern town and develops a lot. Now, the people in Xuzhou are richer than before, so most of people go to work by bus or by underground. Sometimes, they also drive their private cars to work. Many people sell out their old houses and move into new flats.

In some ways, the development has brought some good things, but it has also causes much environment pollution. I think we should take action to reduce the pollution.

我的家乡在徐州，是一个安静而美丽的地方中心。在过去，有许多动物。他们是可爱的，漂亮的。空气清新，有许多鸟在天空飞翔。

过去的那些年，它已经发生了很大的变化。现在，它已经成为一个现代化城市，也得到了很大的发展。现在徐州的人都比以前富有，所以大多数人都是乘巴士或地铁去工作的。有时候，他们也开私家车去上班。很多人卖了他们的老房子，然后搬进新公寓。

在某些方面，发展带来了好处，但是也带来了环境污染。我认为我们应该采取措施来减少污染。

He graduated in the top school and he is a music genuis. His great talent in music attracts me a lot. I will always stand by his side, he is an excellent music artist.

一晃做教师几近十年。在这些年，我时时审视自己当初的选择，直到信用证今天，我依然无怨无悔。今天的我，当个老师，是一种责任，一种使命，一种追求了。

依然清晰地记得，七年前的一个秋天，我由县城来到了一个偏僻的小山村，在那儿开始了我的教学生涯。看着凹凸不平的土屋教室，高低不等的木制课桌，曾经立下的雄心壮志以及起初胸中怀有的那份对教育事业的执着，此时已是心灰意冷——我心酸，我沮丧，我不明白老天为何如此待我不公，把我丢在了这我当时认为是“人不人，鬼不鬼”的地方，那时我只有整日黯然伤心，顾影自怜，根本无心于工作……

秋雨过后初晴的一天，班上有个小女生迟到了，于是我将心中满腔的怨气都用在批评她身上。看着她落下的泪水和刺眼的乡下人的打扮，我说不清那时是怜悯还是鄙视。中午，我一个人闷在屋里无所事事，突然听见门外传来了一声怯怯的“报告”声，开门见是早上迟到挨批的她。

便没好气的问什么事，她憋着张红红的脸低声说：“老师，对不起，我今天早上迟到了……”“迟到了还来找我?”没等她说完我冲出一句话来。她哽咽着用牙齿咬紧着下唇，片刻两滴清凉的东西顺着她的脸颊滑落下来。我的心微微一震。她又说到：“老师，今天我上学的时候，路过我家田里，看见有棵橘子树上红了一个橘子，我想摘来带给您吃。

没想到下来的时候从树上摔了下来。”说完，她轻轻地从背后递上了一个橘子。一时，我无言以对，走过去挽起她的衣袖，呈现在我眼前的是一条带着血印的伤痕，久久地，我凝视着，只觉得眼前模糊一片……心中被内疚和幸福充满。

今天的我，虽然立志做个“好教师”却仍然算不上真正意义上的“好教师”，但我并不气馁，我依然在追求着。我自信我是一个富足的人，因为我有那么多的书等着我去读，有那么多渴求知识的眼睛等着我去润泽，有那么多的信任和鼓励等着我去努力。

我因此而倍感幸福。

In recent years, the air-conditioner has become one of the many indispensable electrical appliances for thousands upon thousands of families, especially those in the south, where the intense heat overwhelms the earth throughout the summer. The advantages of the air-conditioner are self-evident. Armed with the ability to refrigerate, the air-conditioner makes you feel refreshing and comfortable no matter how hot it is outside. Thus it guarantees the efficiency of your work and the quality of your rest. Without it there would be no knowing what would happen to you in the dog days. Moreover, it can also create a proper condition in summer for the operation of computers -- the best friends of yours in the information age. Too high a temperature would make computers work improperly, causing much inconvenience for your daily life and work.

With all the advantages the air- conditioner offers, its disadvantages are also obvious. To begin with, the installment of the air-conditioner always involves the hole making in the wall, which undoubtedly makes the wall less pleasing to the eye than if not. Besides, the air-conditioned environment may make you more and more dependent on the air-conditioner, thus physically weakening your ability to cope with hot weather. Most important, the air - conditioned environment provides poor ventilation, and sometimes may even give rise to a strange kind of smell, which makes you feel dizzy and sick. Consequently, you will be in no mood for enjoying the cool air produced by the air- conditioner.

All things considered, I think its advantages outweigh its disadvantages. Actually, nothing in the world is perfect. It is unwise to make light of the favorable aspects of a thing on account of its unfavorable aspects. The same is true of the attitude you take towards the air-conditioner.

We are always trying to find the way to success, which stands for power,

pride and glory. There have been strings of stories of success I was told since

I was a child. From then on, I have been fascinated with being successful.

Whatsuccess? Different people have different opinions towards this

question. To start with, some people, such as accountants, workers and so on,

are longing for being rich, which allows them buy what they want, and enjoy

luxury. They treat it as success. Furthermore, some contestants, such as boxers,

are always trying their best to defeat their rivals for success. And once they

win, they confirm that they are stronger than others. The last but not the

least, there are some other people who enjoy helping others. As a good saying

goes, the roses in her hand, the flavor in mine. With helping others, we can

also feel satisfactory.

As far as I am concerned, life is short, and we must achieve something

during our life. So I regard striving and working hard important. When comes to

we reap what we sow, it’s the time of success.

It is quite usual that one meets failures, for ones life can never be plain sailing. However, different people hold different attitudes towards failure. Some people think it a heavy blow to fail in achieving something and they can not endure failure. When they meet failure, they will be seriously dejected and can never pluck up their courage to try again.

However, others think it natural to meet failures in ones career. Therefore, they are psychologically prepared. When they meet failures, they will not be frustrated. Instead, they will continue to meet new challenges. As to me, Im in favor of the latter view. Failure is really a terrible thing but it is also the mother of success. If one draws lessons from failures, in most cases he will get success in the future. Furthermore, ones life can never be smooth sailing; it must be full of difficulies and setbacks. If one is daunted by difficulies and frustrations, he will always be a failure. However, if one holds a positive attitude toward failure, he will overcome difficulties and frustrations to win victory.

遇到失败这是很平常，因为人的生命不可能一帆风顺。然而，不同的人对失败持有不同的态度。获取某些东西失败对有些人来说是一个沉重的打击，他们不能承受失败。当他们失败，他们将非常的沮丧并且不能鼓起勇气再试一次。

然而，其他人认为，在自己的职业生涯中的败是很自然的。因此，他们的心理有所准备。当他们遇到失败，他们不会失意。相反，他们将继续迎接新的挑战。就我而言，我赞成后一种观点。失败是一个可怕的事情，但它是成功之母。如果一个灵感来自失败的教训，在大多数情况下，他将在未来获得成功。此外，一个人的生活永远不会是一帆风顺的;它必须是充满困难和挫折。如果一个人被困难和挫折吓倒，他将永远是一个失败者。然而，如果耸对失败持有积极的态度，他将克服困难和挫折，赢得胜利。
