英语作文(转载) 600字高中英语作文

　　I have a friend who is falling in love. She honestly claims the sky is bluer. Mozart moves her to tears. She has lost 15 pounds and looks like a cover girl.

　　"I'm young again!" she shouts exuberantly.

　　As my friend raves on about her new love, I've taken a good look at my old one. My husband of almost 20 years, Scott, has gained 15 pounds. Once a marathon runner, he now runs only down hospital halls. His hairline is receding and his body shows the signs of long working hours and too many candy bars. Yet he can still give me a certain look across a restaurant table and I want to ask for the check and head home.

　　When my friend asked me "What will make this love last?" I ran through all the obvious reasons: commitment, shared interests, unselfishness, physical attraction, communication. Yet there's more. We still have fun. Spontaneous good times. Yesterday, after slipping the rubber band off the rolled up newspaper, Scott flipped it playfully at me: this led to an all-out war. Last Saturday at the grocery, we split the list and raced each other to see who could make it to the checkout first. Even washing dishes can be a blast. We enjoy simply being together.

　　And there are surprises. One time I came home to find a note on the front door that led me to another note, then another, until I reached the walk-in closet. I opened the door to find Scott holding a "pot of gold" (my cooking kettle) and the "treasure" of a gift package. Sometimes I leave him notes on the mirror and little presents under his pillow.

　　There is understanding. I understand why he must play basketball with the guys. And he understands why, once a year, I must get away from the house, the kids—and even him-to meet my sisters for a few days of nonstop talking and laughing.

　　There is sharing. Not only do we share household worries and parental burdens—we also share ideas. Scott came home from a convention last month and presented me with a thick historical novel. Though he prefers thrillers and science fiction, he had read the novel on the plane. He touched my heart when he explained it was because he wanted to be able to exchange ideas about the book after I'd read it.

　　There is forgiveness. When I'm embarrassingly loud and crazy at parties, Scott forgives me. When he confessed losing some of our savings in the stock market, I gave him a hug and said, "It's okay. It's only money."

　　There is sensitivity. Last week he walked through the door with that look that tells me it's been a tough day. After he spent some time with the kids, I asked him what happened. He told me about a 60-year-old woman who'd had a stroke. He wept as he recalled the woman's husband standing beside her bed, caressing her hand. How was he going to tell this husband of 40 years that his wife would probably never recover? I shed a few tears myself. Because of the medical crisis. Because there were still people who have been married 40 years. Because my husband is still moved and concerned after years of hospital rooms and dying patients.

　　There is faith. Last Tuesday a friend came over and confessed her fear that her husband is losing his courageous battle with cancer. On Wednesday I went to lunch with a friend who is struggling to reshape her life after porce. On Thursday a neighbor called to talk about the frightening effects of Alzheimer's disease on her father-in-law's personality. On Friday a childhood friend called long-distance to tell me her father had died. I hung up the phone and thought, This is too much heartache for one week. Through my tears, as I went out to run some errands, I noticed the boisterous orange blossoms of the gladiolus

快乐之英语节

　　今天，是我校一年一度的英语节，这次英语节可以说得上最有意思的一次了，主题叫做“happyshopping”——开心购物，内容就是说：让我们各班同学把家里一些没用的东西拿到学校来卖，卖完后所收获的钱则充当班费，只不过有条注意项目，买卖途中不得说中文，除非请了翻译（学生当的翻译）。

　　略说过后我得详说了。

　　早上，上完三节课后，我们全班同学背着椅子，搬着桌子，朝我们的目的地，也是我们的贩卖点走去，我们的买卖集合区位于操场上的一棵大榕树附近，来到那，便开始“安营扎寨”，打扮景物，没一会，原本空荡荡的跑道已摆满了桌椅，空虚的大榕树已是花枝招展，这所做的一切都是为了下午的活动。

　　下午，我飞速来到了学校，一看钟，才二点，心想：我肯定来得最早。来到操场，出乎我的预料，操场上已是人山人海，见此情景，我只得赶到“大部队”的“根据地”，在本次活动中，我任“policeman”之职，所谓是新官上任三把火呀，我活像一只泥鳅在“顾客”群中转来转去，一会儿维持秩序，一会儿帮人“推销产品”，其它职位的人员也毫不逊色，一会说句“MayIhelpyou？”，一会儿说句“WhatcanIdoforyou？”，没一会儿，冷清的生意便做得红红火火的。快到交接上下班时，一位语文老师来到我班一个摊位，说想找一个翻译帮她买东西，可现在所有的翻译早都忙得脱不出身来招待，眼看到嘴的“肥肉”就要走了，我只好自告奋勇来当翻译，这位老师也答应了，就这样她一句中文，我一句英文的，虽然翻译得有点吃力，但这么好一个机会展示自己，何不试试，善有善报，那个老师买完东西后送给我一包鱿鱼丝。

　　“啊！终于可以出去逛逛了。”刚换完上下班的我兴奋的说道。刚才一本正经的我现像变成了一个“无业游民”一样，东逛逛西逛逛。

　　“终于找到好东西了！”我高兴地说，这是什么好东西？当然是对面摊位上的糖果了！我走了过去，摊位上的服务员立刻问道：“MayIhelpyou？”，我听后指了指桌面上的糖果说：“Yes，howmucharethesweets？”，服务员回答道：“fiftyfen！”我听后心中大喜，才五角，买！可正想给钱时，班主任李老师却大声说道：“回班了！”，我只好收起钱回到我班摊位搬椅子和桌子回班。

　　回到班上，班主任激动地说“这次活动很顺利，全部东西都卖出去了，所以奖励大家一人一根棒棒糖！”全班响起了轰然的欢呼声。

　　放学后，我心中充满了喜悦，不仅因为获得了奖励，更是为自己的出色表现！虽然没买到东西，但却学会了如何用英语购物和交流！
