2012高考作文范文及译文

2012高考英语作文1Dear Ms Li,I’m very happy to have you as our English teacher.As the world is becoming a global village, English is getting more and more important, so mastering English means we can see the world through a new window.My English is just OK and the two main problems in my study are that I feel it difficult to learn words by heart, and that I often feel nervous when speaking English. I really hope that you can give me good advice on how to memorize new words. Another suggestion is to give us more chances to practice speaking. I believe we can make much progress in English with your help.Thank you!Li Hua2In the English Reading Week, one of my classmates recommended a quote to us, which goes like this: “You r future depends on many things, but mostly on you.”I can’t agree more with this view.It’s true that our future is determined by many things, such as opportunities and help from others, but our own attitude, determination, and hard work play a more important role. In other words, we are the master of our own future.Take Abraham Lincoln for example. He was born in a poor family, and only received a limited education in his childhood. Yet through his painstaking efforts, he changed not only his own fate but also the history of America. Even to this day, Lincoln is regarded as one of the most inspiring figures in the world. Therefore, I firmly believe that our future is in our own hands.3Good afternoon, everyone！Welcome to our school! High school students are faced with a choice between arts and science. It is not an easy choice for me to make. After careful consideration, though, I decided on science as my main subject of study. The reasons are as follows:First, science graduates are in greater demand than arts ones in China. Second, the science major can help me achieve my childhood dream of becoming a scientist. Third, my parents wish me to study science at college because they believe I will have a brighter future as a science student. Last, but not least, my physics teacher ismy role model, whose influence on me had a lot to do with my decision.It is for these reasons that I finally made my choice.Thanks!4Conflicts with others are common in everyday life. During the basketball game yesterday afternoon. Su Hua and Li Jiang bumped into each other, trying to catch the ball. Then they started shouting and yelling, and it turned into a horrible quarrel.To be honest, it was Su’s fault, but Li was also to blame----they were not calm enough and both said some really mean things. They cared too much about winning and losing. As a matter of fact，blocking, pushing and bumping are just part of a tough game.To avoid such conflicts，we should be kind to one another, which is essential to enjoy a harmonious life. It is also a virtue to forgive and forget, especially in such a competitive and stressful society. Instead of blaming each other, we should communicate more and put ourselves in others’ place.Don’t be self-centered and try to be considerate. We must learn to handle conflicts calmly and wisely.5Allan Stewart, an Australian old man, born on March 7,1915, is already the holder of the world record for being the old graduate. He thinks it is never too late to challenge oneself to achieve something worthwhile. He got his first degree in 1936, later along with a doctor’s degree of medicine. He decided to study law in his eighties, and he got the master’s in 2006, which was his third degree. In 2012, he received his fourth degree by network learning, who was praised for his proper arrangement on his study schedule.6A thank-you letter from a former student of the writer’s husband meant a lot to the retired old man. From the letter, the writer learnt how great influence a teacher might have his students.The encouragement from a teacher is really of great significance to his/her student, especially when the student has trouble with study. Timely encouragement can raise his confidence and inspire his motivation to work hard. When I was in middle school, I had some difficulty in learning English. I cou ldn’t remember the new words, so I always did poorly in the English exams .For some time I even decided to give up learning English. However, everything changed when I met Mrs.Jones, my new English teacher. She encouraged me to try some different methods to remember English words, and when I made a little progress, she always praised me, so I worked harder than ever. Gradually I became interested in remembering new words and began to catchup with the other students in my class. At the end of term I got the highest mark in English.Now I owe all my progress in English to Mrs. Jones, whose encouragement has made me achieve what I have now. Here I want to send my sincere thanks from heart to her.7How to learn English wellTo learn English well, you need to grasp some learning skills as well as hard work, I will share my learning skills here.In my spare time, I regularly take part in the English corner, where I can express myself freely and learnt what can’t be learnt from books. What’s more, it is of great benefit to keep diaries every day because not only can it help you to form a good habit of studying English but also it can improve your writing ability and skills. What is the most important is that I often surf on an English website---Enjoy Reading, which offers the latest news, reading materials and so on. All of these have enriched my knowledge and enlarged my horizons, which is of vital importance to improve my English.Of course, everyone has his own method of learning, so I hope the experience of mine will be helpful, useful and beneficial to your English study.8Dear Sir or Madam,I’m Li Hua, a middle school student from China. I read the announcement of the summer camp that you have posted on the Internet and I am interested in it. I know that you welcome students from different countries and I’d like to take part in it.I’ve been learning English for 10years,and I speak fluent English. What is more, I’ll be able to tell students from other countries about China and learn about their countries as well. I hope I will be accepted as a member of your summer camp.Looking forward to your reply!Best regards,Li Hua9Dear editor,As a student reader, I am writing to talk about the English textbooks published by your house. These books have many advantages. One of them is that we can find a variety of topics, such as science, culture and history. These topics, I think, are very popular with us students. What's more, along with the texts there are manybeautiful and colorful pictures, which can help us understand English better. Even the students who used to dislike English have turned out to be interested in the subject. However, some of the texts have too many new words and expressions which are hard for us. Therefore, I'd like to suggest changing them into easier ones. Best regards，Li Hua10Mind Your Behavior in Public PlacesLast Sunday, I went sightseeing with my friends in the Fairy Lake Park. The park was full of freshness and beauty of spring, with the sun shining and birds singing. When I was enjoying the fantastic scenery around, something unpleasant caught my eyes. A young couple in a boat were eating, talking and laughing loudly as if they were the only people in the world. What's worse, they spat and even threw rubbish into the lake, totally ignoring the noticeable sign"No Littering" nearby. What a shame!Such behavior left me deep in thought. If all visitors to the Fairy Lake Park do as the couple did, the lake will be severely polluted and soon turned into a huge dustbin. I think all of us should mind our behavior in public places. Only in this way can we live in more comfortable and beautiful surroundings.11Dear Chris,I have good news to tell you.

And I sincerely long to meet you early.Yours,Li Jin12Ms. Li, our English teacher, must have found it strange on Teachers’ Day; she did not receive a single greeting card from us students. She would have never thought a complete surprise was waiting for her.As Teachers’ Day was approaching, our class decided to hold a party to celebrate the important day for a change this year. On the afternoon of September 10，some of us decorated our classroom with paper flowers and balloons, and others went to buy cakes, drinks and fruits. The blackboard was decorated with beautiful words, which read “Happy Teachers’ Day!”Entering the classroom, Ms. Li was surprised to find we were standing in line, clapping hands and saying loudly “Happy Teachers’ Day!” Wang Hua, our monitor, presented her with the prepared flowers. Some of the girls sang songs for Ms. Li, and three boys showed their Kongfu talent. Before we left, we enjoyed a new English song sung by Ms. Li.Ms.Li spent a wonderful time with us, but we know that we cannot thank her enough for all her hard work and guidance.13When my best friend went abroad, he sent me a book as a gift, which always reminds me of him. Unfortunately, my book was gone after I came back from the school playground.You can't imagine how regretful I was to take the book there！I had planned to take it back after I played basketball. I searched everywhere for it, but without result. I sat in the classroom, feeling sad and wondering what I could do to get my lost book back.. Just at that moment, a boy in the next class came to me. When he was approaching me ,I found there was something in his hand that I was familiar with. It was just my book! He told me that he found the book when he took exercise on the playground and learned that it belonged to me. How important it was to me!I appreciate his kindness and consideration so much. I will learn from him and be a person who is always ready to help others.14Saturday June 2This morning, when I was walking on the street, I saw that two travelers were reading a map, looking puzzled. It seemed they were lost. I went up to them and asked how I could help. They told me they were looking for the Temple of Heaven. I led them to the nearby bus stop and advised them to take Bus No. 20, then came the bus. We waved good-bye to each other. Seeing them on the bus, I felt a kind of satisfaction.15I think the white pencil, looking proud and delighted, is laughing at the black pencil by saying "You're comingnear the end!" The black pencil, on the other hand, remains calm. The white pencil's words let him fall into deep thoughts. He clearly remembers that he has been used in writing and drawing. It's true that he's approaching the end, but he has been living a memorable life and there has rarely been a dull moment.In reality, we should learn from the black pencil: not to mind what others say so long as we are confident in what we have done.16I Like ReadingReading is my favorite hobby. I can never stop the love for reading because books are like wise teachers as well as good friends in my life. As we all know, books are the source of knowledge. I benefit a great deal from reading.There are a variety of books for us to choose from, like history books, science books, literary books and so on. But what interests me most is literary books, especially those by famous writers. For one thing, the help me to improve my writing skills and broaden my horizons. For another, they can enrich my life and provide me with great fun. Isn't it a pleasure to have great calm in mind while you are reading?17Three years ago I failed an important exam in my life and became a student in an ordinary school. Disappointed as I felt at the shabby campus and the poorly-equipped classroom, I found the teachers patient and considerate. Besides, I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in class. I decided to make the best of it. I worked hard and got along well with my teachers and classmates. Whenever I had difficulties, they were always available. Soon, I became one of the top students in my class, which greatly increased my confidence and got me motivated.My experience tells me that it is not what you are given but how you make use of it that determines who you are。
