十篇英语寒假作文素材 寒假英语作文范文 作文1 Mobile Phone Obsession As the drawing presents, there is a man walking across the street absorbedly focusing on his cell phone without noticing the surroundings. This sort of phenomenon is not unmon and rare in some metropolis, especially among the youngsters. What the picture illustrates is the prevailing situation that has long existed in todays China. That is the mobile phone obsession. With the advent of information age, people are being increasingly fascinated on the electronic products, especially the cell phones. Not surprisingly, you could easily notice that most of us are obsessed in sending messages, playing online games with their mobile phones. It cannot be denied that this phenomenon may negatively impact the relationship among people, and therefore they will bee estranged and isolated. Personally, in view of the overuse of mobile phones, I hold that we individuals should raise the necessary awareness that good relationships are reinforced by sincere and face-to-face munication. 作文2 The Impact of the Inter on the Way People Communicate Due to the wide use of puters and the development of Inter, more and more people like to chat on the Inter. We tend to pay more attention to electronic munication than to face-to-face contact. As electronic munication is not limited by space, we can chat with others where there is Inter with our tools such as puters, mobile phones and pads. However, when we chat with others online, we cannot express our feelings fully. Just as the picture shows, the parents cannot touch or hug their child. We know that body language plays an important role in our munication, but the electronic munication cannot do this. For example, when we are sad, we need more love and warmth, a real hug from our parents or friends can mean much more to us than just words through electronic munication. Therefore, though electronic munication brings convenience to our life, I still don?t think the electronic munication can replace face-to-face contact. 作文3 It Pays to Be Honest Once a child asked such a question: What can I benefit from being a good child? Among the many answers he received one ran like this: A good child is the most precious gift God gives to you. And the same can be said for being honest. It pays to be honest. Yes, its true that dishonesty exists almost everywhere in the society. Consumers often found themselves being blackmailed by those merchants selling shoddy products; and there are students cheating in order to pass the exams or get high marks; moreover, we are not short of examples that many rich professionals evade the taxes by sacrificing the interests of government. But havent we seen their results? A fall into the pit, a gain in customers wit, which would surely drive those dishonest merchants out of business. Regret of wasting time yet being empty-handed would aompany those dishonest students all their life. On the contrary, we could have all they lost, especially a good reputation and a clear conscience, which are the best qualities of human beings. Thats why we say It Pays to Be Honest. 作文4 Dear President, I am a sophomore with the Department of Law. My name is Wang Ming. I am writing to you today to intimate you with something undesirable that I have found in the University Library.You may or may not realize how much our library, the landmark of our university or even of our town, weighs in our minds. It is a place we are most proud of and where we like to spend most of our time. In such an honorable place we have noticed recently some phenomena which hurt our eye. Some seats in the reading rooms are ?permanently reserved vacant seats?, that is, some students “oupy” some seats they never e to use. What a terrible waste of valuable resource! Some other students are too noisy, talking among themselves, leaving mobile phone beeping anytime. And some library staff is ill-mannered and rude and not helpful most of time. These and other undesirable things have already done damage to the fame of our university and caused a lot of inconvenience to the users. Dear President, we hope that something can be done to change and reverse the current situation. Let our cozy, fortable, quiet, effective library e back. Best wishes 作文5 Sports benefit us in many respects. When taking part in sports, we get the chance to train almost all parts of our body. There is no doubt that properly balanced physical activities keep us physically fit. Furthermore, sports can eich our life and maintain our psychological health. Through participation, everyone can learn that on the playing field he not only petes for himself but also for his team. Sports teach us about consideration, cooperation and optimism, and how to cope with difficulties. But sports can do harm to those people who cannot balance their activities properly. Training too hard may hurt their body, exhaust their energy and even make them disabled. Personally, I love sports. I enjoy participating in sports. I feel that I not only gain a well-balanced life through sports, but also get more chances to move closer to nature. Sports have really added happiness to my daily life. 大学英语背诵文选十篇 1. The Happy door Happiness is like a pebble dropped into a pool to set in motion an ever-widening circle of ripples. As Stevenson has said, being happy is a duty. There is no exact definition of the word happiness. Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons. The key is not wealth or physical well-being, since we find beggars, invalids and so-called failures, who are extremely happy. Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend. But staying happy is an aomplishment, a triumph of soul and character. It is not selfish to strive for it. It is, indeed, a duty to ourselves and others. Being unhappy is like an infectious disease. It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer. He soon finds himself alone, miserable and embittered. There is, however, a cure so simple as to seem, at first glance, ridiculous; if you dont feel happy, pretend to be! It works. Before long you will find that instead of repelling people, you attract them. You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will. Then the make-believe bees a reality. You possess the secret of peace of mind, and can forget yourself in being of service to others. Being happy, once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit, opens doors into unimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends. (232words) 2. Thrift Thrift is the foundation of all greatness. It is applied not only to money matters, but to everything else in lifethe wise use of ones time, ability, and energy. In short, thrift is the scientific management of ones money, of ones time, of ones affairs, and of ones self. Thrift is the best word for us. It makes fortune. It uplifts character. It improves the quality of the individual. The exercise of thrift has a very healthful reaction upon all the other faculties. The habit of thrift denotes self-control. It is a proof that a man is not a hopeless victim of his weakness. It is a proof that he is the master of himself as well as of his finances. Thrift is an educator. A thrifty man thinks and plans. He has a program. He has a certain amount of independence. If you have cultivated thrift, it means that you have the ability to control your desires and that you are developing some of the grandest human qualitiesself-reliance, independence, prudence, and foresight. We know that all great nations are founded on thrift. The ancient Roman Empire degenerated and came to an end when it ceased to be thrifty. Yet thrift does not require superior courage. It needs no fervent resolution, but only a little patient self-denial. And BEGIN is its device! (224 words) 3. Advice to a Young Man -Robert Jones Burdette Remember, my son, you have to work. Whether you handle a pick or a pen, a wheel-barrow or a set of books, digging ditches or editing a paper, ringing an auction bell or writing funny things, you must work. If you look around you will see the men who are the most able to live the rest of their days without work are the men who work the hardest. Dont be afraid of killing yourself with overwork. It is beyond your power to do that on the sunny side of thirty. They die sometimes, but it is because they quit work at six in the evening, and do not go home until two in the morning. Its the interval that kills, my son. The work gives you an appetite for your meals; it lends solidity to your slumbers, it gives you a perfect and grateful appreciation of a holiday. There are young men who do not work, but the world is not proud of them. It does not know their names, even it simply speaks of them as “old So-and-Sos boy”. Nobody likes them; the great, busy world doesnt know that they are there. So find out what you want to be and do, and take off your coat and make a dust in the world. The busier you are, the less harm you will be apt to get into, the sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter and happier your holidays, and the better satisfied will the world be with you. (252 words) 4. Frankness -Robert E. Lee You must study to be frank with the world: frankness is the child of honesty and courage. Say just what you mean to do, on every oasion. If a friend asks a favor, you should grant it, if it is reasonable; if not, tell him plainly why you cannot. You would wrong him and wrong yourself by equivocation of any kind. Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or keep one. The man who requires you to do so is dearly purchased at a sacrifice. Deal kindly but firmly with all your classmates. You will find it the policy which wears best. Above all, do not appear to others what you are not. If you have any fault to find with any one, tell him, not others, of what you plain. There is no more dangerous experiment than that of undertaking to do one thing before a mans face and another behind his back. We should say and do nothing to the injury of any one. It is not only a matter of principle, but also the path of peace and honor. (184 words) 5. Love Your Life-Hey David Thoreau However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. 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. May be 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. （209 words） 6. Youth-by Samuel Ullman Youth is not a time of life; its a state of mind; its not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; its a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; its the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for the adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than of 20.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear ,self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust. Whether 60 or 16 ,there is in every human beings heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of whats next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station: so long as it receives message of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young. When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80. (240 words) 7. True Nobility -Ernest Hemingway In a calm sea every man is a pilot. But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all. Take the lot of the happiest-it is a tangled yarn. Bereavements and blessings, one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men e closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss. In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment. I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without. In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are. To regret ones errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance. There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self. (190 words) 8. Yesterday.Today.AND Tomorrow There are two days in every week that we should not worry about, two days that should be kept free from fear and apprehension. One is Yesterday, with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed, forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed. Nor can we erase a single word we said - Yesterday is gone! The other day we shouldnt worry about is Tomorrow with its impossible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is beyond our immediate control. Tomorrows sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds - but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet unborn. This leaves only one day - Today. Any man can fight the battles of just one day; it is only when you or I add the burdens of those two awful eternities- Yesterday and Tomorrow- that we break down. It is not the experience of Today that drives man mad - It is remorse or bitterness for something which happened Yesterday, and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring. Let us, therefore, live One Day at a Time! （217 Words） 9. Self-Confidence is Essential to Suess Nothing sueeds like confidence. When you are truly confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts suess to you like a mag. Its important to believe in yourself. Believe that you can do it under any circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really will. The belief keeps you searching for answers, which means that pretty soon you will get them. Confidence is more than an attitude. It es from knowing exactly where you are going and exactly how you are going to get there. It es from acting with integrity and confidence. It es from a strong sense of purpose. It es from a strong mitment to take responsibility, rather than just letting life happen. One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and to get a record of suessful experiences behind you. Confidence is passionate and understanding. It is not arrogant. Arrogance is born out of fear and insecurity, while confidence es from strength and integrity. Confidence is not just believing you can do it. Confidence is knowing you can do it. Know that you are capable of aomplish anything you want, and live your life with confidence. （202 words） 10. Born to Win You cannot teach a man anythingYou can only help him discover it within himself -Galileo Each human being is born as something unique，something that never existed beforeEach person has the potential to win in his own wayA normal person can see，hear，touch，taste，and think for himselfEach has his own unique potentials- his capabilities and limitationsEach can be an important，thinking，aware，and creatively productive person in his own right-a winner The words winner and loser have many meaningsWhen we refer to a person as a winner，we do not mean one who defeats the other person by dominating and making him lose Instead a winner is one who responds ge
