介绍毕业典礼的英语作文(汇总20篇)

The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China is called the "Ten thousand Ii Great Wall" in Chinese. In fact, it s more than 6 000 kilometres long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world.

The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the dif ferent parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up. Thus, the Great Wall came into being.

The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to keep watch. Fires were lit on the the towers as a warning when the enemy came.

It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.

Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world. Many of them have come to know the famous Chinese saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."

中国的长城

中国的万里长城被称为“万里长城”。事实上，它有6000多公里长。它蜿蜒地从西向东，穿过沙漠，越过高山，穿过山谷，直到最后到达大海。它是世界奇观之一。

长城有二十多个世纪的历史。它的第一部分是在春秋时期建造的。战国时期，有更多的城墙被用来保卫不同王国的边界。正是在秦朝，秦国把帝夫的发福部分统一为一个帝国。为了把敌人赶出他的帝国，秦始皇把所有的城墙连在一起。于是，长城诞生了。

长城的宽度足以让五匹马或十个人并排走。沿着墙的是瞭望塔，士兵们常常在那里守望。当敌人到来时，在塔上点燃了火作为警告。

在古代没有任何现代机器的情况下，很难建造这样一堵墙。所有的工作都是手工完成的。成千上万的人死了，被埋在他们建造的城墙下。长城不仅是由石头和泥土建成的，而且是几百万人的血肉所组成的。

今天，长城不仅对中国人，而且对来自世界各地的人都有兴趣。他们中的许多人都知道中国著名的谚语:“没有到达长城的人不是真正的人。”

Hello everyone！ My name is Chen Jiaobing. I have a pair of eyes, curved eyebrows, not tall nor short, every hair in a ponytail.

My favorite color is blue. My hobby is singing and dancing... My favorite people are my family, my friends and the people worthy of my respect.

My greatest dream is to have wings of angels or elves and fly freely in the blue sky. I am very outgoing, I like to make friends, to be good to friends.

时间就像是一卷风，一下子就在我们眼前吹过了，但是即使我们要逆风而行，我们也要不断向前迈进。因为如果我们不去努力，不去迈出我们的脚，我们只会被时间的风沙遗忘在角落里。所以回顾我的高中三年，我都是在逆风而行，都是在跟时间赛跑，即使风沙吹得我的眼泪都要流出来，即使风沙吹得我的脸颊干痛，我也没有停住过我前进的脚步。所以在三年之后我才能迎来阳光灿烂的一片天，才能得到一张名牌大学的录取通知书，才能骄傲的对我爸妈说“你看，我没让你们失望吧!”。

其实在初中的时候，我的成绩并不怎么好，但是我也不去努力。在来到高中后，在这个满眼都是优秀学生的校园里，我的成绩就更加不起眼了。我觉得我们班上的同学都比我要优秀聪明，我也打算就这样混下去。但是在一次数学课上，我在底下做题目的过程中，由于我的一心解题，并没有发现我的数学老师正站在旁边看，而且一题下来，我解除了多种思路和方式，其实我自己并没有觉得有多厉害，但是我老师看到了就一把拿下了我的本子，当着所有同学的面毫不吝啬的表扬和夸奖了我。那一次还是我第一次受到老师的表扬，也第一次意识到自己也有优点的一面。自从那一次之后，我就受到了老师的重视，也受到了老师的鼓舞，我开始做越来越多的数学题目，开始发现越来越多做题的乐趣，我也开始在这些题海里找到了自信，找到了成就。原来不是我自己笨，只是我自己不够努力。

所以在我意识到这个问题之后，我不仅只对数学下狠功夫，我开始对各个科目都进行猛攻。别的同学还在玩耍聊八卦的时候，我只一心埋头在书本里，别的同学还在睡觉打瞌睡的时候，我就在专心致志的背书记单词。经过我的一年努力，我的成绩就已经赶超了班级的同学的一大半。在大二的时候，我对自己要求越来越严格，生活和学习上也越来越自律。我开始当上数学课代表，成为了老师的好帮手，也成为了同学们学习的好榜样。到了大三的时候，我就一直稳居在班上的第一名和年级排名的前五名里。直到到高考我也是超常发挥，为我们学校考取了一个优秀的好成绩，为老师争了光。

当我拿着我的录取通知书，迈着我轻松愉悦的步伐踏进我的理想大学的时候，我的内心既是平静又是激动的。我想这正是我的努力付出，才能得到今天傲人的成绩，才能从一个笨小鸭逆袭成为了一名名牌大学生。我会在今后的人生道路上，继续迎着风，继续完成我未完成的蜕变。

尊敬的各位领导、老师们，亲爱的同学们：

上午好！我是来自高二（17）班的付光行健。在这个庄严神圣的时刻，请允许我作为高二学生代表对领导、老师的感激和敬意，代表望中2000多名学弟学妹们来为高三的学长们壮行，衷心地祝贺学长们圆满完成了高中学业，即将踏上新的征程！

看到“毕业典礼”这四个大字，我的心情和大家一样复杂。三年时间一晃而过，最值得回味的，正是那些最辛苦、最忙碌而最充实的时光。清晨，最早和晨光约见；深夜，最后与星光告别。三年时间，一千多个日日夜夜，校园的每个角落都曾留下了你们的身影，你们用18岁的宣言向望中人表明了决心，那份成熟与自信，写在脸上，更写进了望中的希望。

再过一天，你们将奔赴高考的战场。经过三年的磨砺，你们决心奋力一搏，要在人生的挑战中抒写辉煌的篇章。我们为你们加油！我们坚信你们一定会取得成功。老师期待着你们成功的捷报，望中期待着你们胜利的消息。“长风破浪会有时，直挂云帆济沧海”，你们一定会让望中因你们而感到骄傲和自豪。

此时此刻，即将迈入高三的我们心情是复杂的，是激动的。既有对高三学习生活的期待，也有对风雨欲来的挑战而担忧。但是，我们不怕，因为有你们为我们树立了榜样；我们无畏，因为有你们为我们指引了成功的方向。我们不会面对晚霞幻想，而是迎着晨曦实干。我们必将坚定信念，一往无前。

尊敬的学长们，抱紧我们的信念——爱拼才会赢，将属于你们的2012拿下！望中的未来应由我们去开创，去拼搏，就让我们一起为自己的未来努力奋斗，为望中2012年的辉煌再添浓墨重彩的一笔而努力拼搏。

敬爱的学长们，今天的毕业典礼不是庆祝结束，而是欢呼开始；不是纪念完成，而是宣告进步。希望母校“师生为本、和谐教育、主动发展、富有特长”的办学理念和孝爱文化的校园精神永远激励着我们不断取得新的进步！在未来的日子里，当你们取得骄人成绩时，请不要忘记，我们的母校在向你们祝贺！我们愿分享你们的快乐，也盼望着你们常回母校看看！

学长们，祝你们成功！

尊敬的各位领导、各位家长、亲爱的老师、小朋友们

大家好:

今天，是学前班小朋友难忘的日子，因为他们结束了幼儿园三年的学习和生活，即将成为一名小学生，我和我的老师都为他们感到高兴和自豪，在为他们举办毕业典礼的这个特殊日子，看着熟悉的他们，作为园长，心里有说不出的高兴，也有说不出的难过。

家长朋友，您还记得吗?三年前您恋恋不舍把孩子送到我们这里的时候，今天，我们和您有了同样的心情，舍不得让这53名孩子离开我们，三年的时间里，我们既是老师又是妈妈，在吃喝拉撒中和孩子建立了深厚纯洁的感情，我们习惯了早上去听孩子用稚嫩的声音问候，习惯了傍晚看孩子说再见的灿烂笑脸。

三年过去了，孩子们就要离开老师，离开曾朝夕相伴的幼儿园，我和我的老师不再像往日那样---看见你们睡梦中甜蜜的笑脸，不再像往日那样---看到你们无忧无虑的咯咯大笑，不再像往日那样---看到你们生气时撅起的小嘴儿，不再像往日那样---看到你们破涕为笑的天真样子。孩子活泼可爱的形象---和甜甜的童言童语将留在我们老师的记忆里，成为我们老师回忆时讲不完的话题。

我---舍不得你们，你们的老师更舍不得你们，但你们终究要长大，要离开幼儿园，走向下一个阶段的小学生活，

踏上新的起跑线,孩子们---请一定相信自己是最棒的,是最优秀的,用你们的自信自强、用你们的聪明智慧走出属于自己的一片天地,未来无论是阳光还是阴霾,无论是春风还是秋雨，请记住,幼儿园的老师会一直惦念着你们,会一直关注着你们,对你们的关爱,对你们的祝福,对你们的期盼会一直伴随在你们的身边。你们每取得的一次成绩，你们点点滴滴的进步都将是我们老师的荣耀。­

孩子们---我和老师爱你们。同时也请孩子们记住你们的启蒙老师。

在这里，我还要代表幼儿园全体老师，向家长朋友表示感谢。谢谢你们的支持与信任。谢谢你们把心爱的宝贝交给我们，让我们与孩子有了难舍难分这份真挚的情感。

Hello, my professors.it’s a fine day today,and i’m very pleased to meet you here.first of all,i’d like to introduce myself to you.my name is ***,my hometown is ***,which is a really beautiful city.even when i was a young boy,i was very interested in accounting .every one may have a dream,and i still remember that my dream is to be a accountant .still today i think that interest is the best teacher in one’s whole life (and knowledge comes from practice).

Second, i will introduce my major .my major is accounting in *** university.and my major,which lays more stress on practical use, seems to be at the end of it.when both of them interact well enough,the discovries and theories in biology science can be soon turned into products in all of the modern industry.

Four years’ university education gives me a lot of things to learn,a lot of chances to try,and a lot of practices to improve myself.it teaches me not only what to study and how to think,but also to see the importance of

Practical ability (such as doing expriment as much as possible). in the university life,i have made many good friends.they help me improve my study and research ability, do ererything just like a man,and often give me good example to follow.

Besides what i have introduced myself above,i also have many interests in my spare time.i like playing football,which is an effective way i think to improve my body health,and it can teach me how to join in a group and deal with other people.drawing and writing is another favor to me.above all,i choose the major in order to broad my view in accounting ,and enhance my research ability.i will do my best to join the new group and be good at postgraduate study.

I have a big family。 There are five people in my family， my grandmother， my parents and my elderly brother。 My grandmother is easygoing。 She has many friends near my home。 Every morning and night， she walks around with her friends。 My parents are doctors in the same hospital。 They are always busy with their work。 My brother is three years older than me。 He is a middle school student。 My family is happy。 Although my parents are busy， they care much about me。 We live a good life。

我有一个大家庭，总共有五口人，奶奶，爸爸妈妈，哥哥和我。我的奶奶很随和，邻里有很多朋友。每天早晚她都和她的朋友去散步。我的父母在同一家医院当医生，他们总是忙于工作。我的哥哥比我大三岁，是个初中生。我的家庭很幸福。尽管我的父母很忙，但是他们很关心我。我们的生活很美好。

这是一段令我永生难忘的回忆--小学毕业典礼，炫耀夺目的场景。人山人海的会场。以及那首~永远的画面~告诉我们这群毕业生。告别的时候悄悄来临了。

傍晚下了一场毛毛雨。彷佛是老天也为我们的离别掉眼泪。大家一起步入会场，我们男生女生手牵手。一起进入学校为我们准备的星大道。两侧的家长。也给予我们热烈的祝福，终于。轮到我们班了。我和一个男生走在队伍的最前方，接受着校长对我们班的祝福，由于是我们班的第一对所以特别紧张，甚至连领毕业证书时都在发抖呢！

出场完毕后我们就回到座位。终于典礼即将进入尾声，我也如愿以偿得到校长奖，虽然十分喜悦。不过还是隐藏不住离别的感伤，大家依依不舍的抱在一起哭了许久。

该离别的时候还是到了，夜色已晚了。大家陆陆续续回家，也为小学生涯画上了一个休止符。我相信月亮会照耀着我们的未来。也会照亮了乌黑的天空。

My father is a very respectable man in the world.Although he is not tall and strong as any of the heroes described in the novels,not handsome as any of those stars of stage and screen, he is the greatest man in my eyes.As a worker in a steel factory, he worked hard for me and my mother in his whole life, none penny was spent for himself.

He would never buy drinks on street under the torrid noonday sun for saving money to buy me an ice-cream.

cheerful，open-minded,warm-hearted...all nice words I can put on my dear father.

you would have fun with him all day long during the talk with him.

He is a very easy-going man so thats why he has so many friends.To help anyone who ever or never helped us means a lot to him.

I love my dad as I love myself, i pray to God that He could let me be his daughter in my next life if there is...

to introduce myself（介绍我自己）

hello,every one!（大家好）

my name is **** . （我叫****）

im a 15 years old boy. （我是一个15岁的男孩）（具体情况自己改）

i live in the beautiful city of rizhao.（我住在美丽的rizhao城）（你可以把rizhao改成自己家乡的城市的名称的拼音）

im an active ,lovely and clever boy.(我是一个活跃的可爱的聪明的男孩） in the school , my favourite subject is maths . （在学校，我最喜欢数学） perhaps someone thinks its difficult to study well .（也许有些人认为这很难学） but i like it.（但我喜欢他）

i belive that if you try your best, everything can be done well.（我相信每件事付出努力就会有害结果）

i also like sports very much.（我也很喜欢运动）

such as,running,volleyball and so on. （像跑步、排球等等）

im kind-hearted.（我很热心）

i hope we can be good friends!（我希望我们能成为好朋友）

ok.this is me .a sunny boy.（好了，这就是我，一个阳光男孩）

说实话，在接到这个邀请的时候，我有点小激动，更多的是荣幸。因为我从来没有参加过任何一所高中的毕业典礼，这真的是我人生第一次来参加高中毕业典礼，收获特别大。我想，高中这三年，几乎是每一个人最难忘的三年，尤其对中国学生来说，所以刚才那个掌声不断的同学讲得特别好。其实高中这三年除了很多美好的记忆，我相信此时此刻，你们想的一定是：我们终于毕业了、解放了!所以我首先要表达的是对所有同学的祝贺，祝你们毕业快乐，祝你们未来前程似锦!

在这个关键的时间点，其实我花了很长时间去想，我能跟大家分享一点什么呢?我仔细想了想自己人生过去的40多年，想来想去，我觉得最重要的是这么一件事情。25年前，我高中毕业进入大学。因为我特别特别喜欢看书，所以刚一上大学我有很多时间都待在图书馆里。无意之中看了一本书叫《硅谷之火》，大概一两块人民币的书。那本书就是讲的乔布斯在硅谷的创业故事。看完这本书以后，我激动得三天三夜没有睡好觉。在那三天三夜的很多时间里，我都待在我们武汉大学的体育场，绕着校园一遍一遍地走，我想，我此生一定要做一个不同寻常的人。有了这个目标以后，我在想，我得从一个眼前的目标开始做起。所以，我在大学定下的第一个目标是：2年内修完4年的所有课程。我想和大家分享的是，我真的做到了。其实这件事的背后我不是想说梦想有多重要或《硅谷之火》这本书有多重要。我是想说，爱看书、喜欢看书是大家一辈子最重要、最重要的习惯。我有很多朋友在度过了艰难的高中三年上大学后发誓不再看书，觉得太累了。我不太了解ICC同学们的学习压力，所以我不知道大家对看书有多厌恶，包括写作业、考试。但我真心地认为，喜欢读书是一辈子最重要的习惯。

作为一个史蒂芬·乔布斯的铁杆粉丝，我想再分享一个关于他的小故事。史蒂芬·乔布斯大学一年级在干什么呢?他想让自己的英文字写得更漂亮些，于是他选修了一门莫名其妙的课，叫英文字体。你们知道他这个莫名其妙的小兴趣给整个人类带来了什么影响吗?我们在场的每一个人都应该感谢他这个莫名其妙的小兴趣。因为30年前的电脑显示的字体就像我们今天电子表上显示的点阵字体，看起来很有科技感，看久了真的是丑得不行。所以乔布斯在做APPLE电脑时说，我们一定要把字体做好看，真的不能做成点阵字。他下了很大功夫，把电脑上那些很难看的点阵字体变成了你们今天所看到的非常漂亮的、五颜六色的、多姿多彩的上百种字体。所以，如果你们上了大学以后，如果觉得无聊，可以选择一些莫名其妙的兴趣，也许你们会得到一些莫名其妙的结果。上了大学以后你们一定能深刻地理解到，考试成绩真的不是第一位。所以，你们有空的话，不妨多看看书，多学点莫名其妙的东西。

亲爱的同学们，这就是我唯一能给大家贡献的两个小建议。祝大家以后每天的心情都有如今天北京的天空，晴空万里。假如我们北京不堵车，没有雾霾，这个世界还是挺美好的。所以，未来你们的人生不管遇到多少困难，都要坚信这个世界还是很美好的。再次感谢所有同学们、翟校长和Turner先生给我这个机会，这是我的荣幸!谢谢大家!

Today, as the development of technology, people can change their faces by doing plastic surgery, because of the commercial ads, people are highly effected by the exaggerated facts that they can be the shining stars. So people pay special attention on the outlooks, they want to look perfect, as far as I am concerned, the true beauty is nothing with perfect looking, only the inner beauty makes you shining. In the fairly tale of Cinderella, the prince chooses the poor girl instead of the beautiful girls, because he admires Cinderella’s inner beauty, though she is nobody. Though it is just a story, it tells people that inner beauty makes one outstanding. People can make their faces perfect, but there is no way to fulfill their inner beauty by technology. Inner beauty is the most precious thing, beautiful outlook will fade away with the time, but inner beauty won’t, it only getting valuable.

Yangzhou (Yángzhōu [扬州]), known as a city of gardens and alleys, is a destination that makes a trip to China unforgettable. Little known to most foreign travelers, Yangzhou is a proud retainer of ancient Chinese architecture, art, culture, traditional gardens and parks, cuisine, leisure, and commerce in a beautiful mixture of modernity with its rich 2,500 year history. The demolition sledgehammer has not made much headway here, leaving an increasingly harder to find view into the past. All in all, Yangzhou is the ideal place to experience unique aspects of Chinese culture, and is a relaxing break from other overly developed and commercialized urban centers in the region.
