运动主题英语作文【合集20篇】

每个人都会有自己难忘的第一次，而2007年10月26、27日两天，则是我第一次参加区级运动会的日子，这两天的时间令我难以忘却。

因为，在这短短的两天，使我明白了一个人生的道理，而且到现在还记忆犹新。

在五年级的校运动会上，我糊糊涂涂地在跑400米时，拿了个第二；然后，又糊糊涂涂地加入了校田径队，由于我啊、不愿意训练，所以每天下午几乎都在“逃亡”，直到10月26日的前一个星期——

那一天，汪老师把田径队所有队员都集中起来，告诉我们一个消息：一个星期后，我们将参加浔阳区运动会，和其它学校的学生进行比赛。

我一听就蒙了，从加入田径队到现在，我总共才训练了不到10次，怎么比啊？我连忙问汪老师：“我参加了什么项目？”王老师低头看了看表，说：“400米、100米和跳远。”

听后，我吓得差点滑一跤，要说400米也就算了，怎么还有100米和跳远呢？唉，没办法，好好训练一个星期吧，好歹要比赛了！于是，我正正经经地训练了一个星期。

一个星期后，我们来到了师专体育场。才刚刚到，50米预赛就要开始了，我正好没事，就当起了啦啦队和后勤队。一声枪响，参加50米的梅思梦冲了出去，在这短短的8秒里，我们都紧张极了。

3，2，1！梅思梦第一名！我和王伊蕾欢呼起来，我走到梅思梦身边，扶住她说：“决赛还要加油哦！”她狠狠瞪我一眼：“我都累死拉！”然后，我们两个人开心地大笑起来。

我参加的400米马上就要开始了，我连忙换上钉鞋，准备比赛。我站在第四道上，汪老师告诉我，起跑后，步子要跨大，呼吸均匀。我也很快记住了。

可是，当枪一打响，我的脑子就一片空白，把汪老师的话忘到十万八千里之后去了。结果，很可惜，我只拿了第二名，并没有拿到第一，没有进入决赛。100米和跳远的成绩都更别说了。

运动会结束后，我回到家里，呆呆地望着屋顶，总觉得心里少了些什么。

想着前一个星期的训练过程，我想起来了，不是没有拿奖的遗憾，也不是结束后的轻松，而是那份回忆。

在田径队训练，身体上虽然苦，可是在心里却很快乐。一想到今后不能和朋友们一边跑步一边谈笑；不能硬着头皮听汪老师的训斥；不能再追着田径队的男生们大喊着要揍人。我开始后悔当初为什么要逃跑、躲避训练了。

也许我早一些看清这一点，就会早点醒悟了吧。

什么事，不要等到逝去了才知道珍惜。

[英语作文 我最喜欢的运动

I like to watch all kinds of sport matches, I adore athletes, they are so inspiring, they work so hard to become the strongest, the most honorable thing is that their success is by their effort, not by advertise. But lately, the news about athletes taking the medicine to win the game, this is so shameful, the honesty is believed to be a athlete’s merit, when he loses it, he loses people’s respect.

我喜欢看所有的体育赛事，我崇拜运动员，他们很激励人，他们通过努力训练成为最强的人，最令人佩服的是他们的成功是通过努力，而不是宣传。但是最近，关于运动员服药而赢得比赛的新闻令人感到羞耻，诚实被视为运动员的品质，当运动员丢掉这个时，他也丢掉了人们的尊重。

What is the pride of a athlete? The answer is their work hard for the champion, the sprit of never giving up, but when a athlete plays a trick to win the champion, there is no doubt that people will despite him. The spirit of sport game is respect your opponent, all the guys are fighting in a fair competition, when one of them takes the medicine, that means he breaks the game rule, he has no right to compete. Taking the medicine makes a athlete lose his honesty, he deserves to be abandoned, the basic thing is no longer find in him. We all like to watch the athletes compete in a pure situation, what makes them stronger is their will, not the medicine.

一个运动员的骄傲是什么?答案是他们通过努力赢得冠军，永不放弃的精神，但是当一个运动员耍诡计来赢得冠军，毫无疑问，人们会鄙视他。运动比赛的精神是尊重对手，所有的人都处在公平竞争的比赛，当其中一个人服药的时候，这意味着他打破了比赛规则，他没有竞争的资格。服药让一个运动员失去诚信，他应该被淘汰，最基本的东西都没有了。我们都想要看到运动员处在公平竞争的状态，让他们更强的是意志，而不是药物。

The athlete who takes the medicine or plays other tricks will be kicked out by the referee. As the audience, we all want to watch the fair game, we appreciate the athlete’s spirit of never giving up.

那些服药或者耍诡计的运动员应该被裁判开除。作为一名观众，我们都想要看到公平的比赛，我们欣赏运动员永不放弃的精神。

主题句必须生动感人，发人深思，因为读者是否愿意继续读下去是取决于主题句的。作者必须时刻牢记，他要努力引起并保持读者的注意和兴趣。听众出于礼貌得把讲演一直听完，而读者则与听众不同，他在任何时候都可以停止读下去，而一旦他不打算继续读一篇论文，作者是毫无办法使读者重新注意那篇论文的。

段落的发展方法。段落的主要部分都是作者用来证实主题句的。如果段落发展无力或不完整，就是作者没能把问题说清楚。因此段落的发展必须充分。只有两三句话的段落就像一份偷工减料的三明治那样不能令人满意。

My grandparents believed you were either honest or you werent. There was

no in between. They had a simple motto hanging on their living-room wall: "Life

is like a field of newly fallen snow; where I choose to walk every step will

show. "They didnt have to talk about it--they demonstratedthe motto by the way

they lived. They understood instinctively that integrity means having a personal

standard of morality and ethics that does not sell out to expediency and that is

not relative to the situation at hand. Integrity is an inner standard for

judging your behavior.Unfortunately, integrity is in short supply today--and

getting scarcer. But it is the real bottom line in every area of society.And it

is something we must demand of ourselves.

A good test for this value is to look at what I call the Integrity Trial,

which consists of three key principles: Stand firmly for your convictions in the

face of personal pressure.

When you know youre right, you cant back down. Always give others credit

that is rightfully theirs. Dont be afraid of those who might have a better idea

or who might even be smarter than you are. Be honest and open about who you

really are. People who lack genuine core values rely on external factors--their

looks or status---in order to feel good about themselves. Inevitably they will

do everything they can to preserve this facade,but they will do very little to

develop their inner value and personal growth.

So be yourself. Dont engage in a personal cover-up of areas that are

unpleasing in your life. When its tough, do it tough. In other words, face

reality and be adult in your responses to lifes challenges.

Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity

and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.

Integrity means you do what you do because its right and not just

fashionable or politically correct. A life of principle, of not succumbing to

the seductive sirens of an easy morality,will always win the day. My

grandparents taught me that.
