诚实英语作文(1)

诚实是人立足之本,却在现代被抛弃殆尽,这是一个可怕的现象,希望大家能重新重视它,构建和谐美好的社会。下面给大家分享一些诚实高一,希望对大家有帮助。

Honesty is long-lasting virtue of people all over the world. Likewise, itis also one of the deeply-held values of the Chinese people. Some people believethat in the market economy, honesty tends to be obsolete. In my opinion, honestywill never be out of date no matter what the situation might be.

Firstly, honesty has been treasured and honest people have been respectedthrough history in all parts of the world. People everywhere would regardedhonesty as a virtue and hate a dishonesty person. Secondly, honesty is the basisof interactions among people. People should treat each other sincerely and opentheir hearts to each other. Only in this way can the relationship among thepeople be natural. Thirdly, in the market economy, some people try to get moremoney at the cost of honesty. To them, a best businessman is one who can cheatmost tactfully. Even in this kind of society, honesty is deeply valued by mostpeople.

We can see that not only in history, but also at the present day, honestywas and is valued by the majority of the people and the virtue will not perishso easily.

There is an English proverb which says (saying) “Honesty is the bestpolicy.” It signifies the importance of honesty.

What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others, they will behonest to you in return. When you are sad, they will comfort you. When you arein trouble, they will help you.

There is no enumerating the evils of dishonesty here. In a word, adishonest man will be looked down upon by others and (be) regarded as a publicenemy.

Almost all of us heard the story “Here Comes the Wolf” when we were littlekids. What we can learn from the story is that we must be honest. However,there’re lots of phenomena of dishonesty nowadays。

Being dishonest does great harm not only to other people but also toyourself. Take the case of fake milk powder for example. After drinking thiskind of milk, the babies had big heads while their legs and arms were stillthin, which badly affected their health. To our great relief, the producers gotaccused and punished for all the serious consequences in the end。

Having the reputation of being honest and reliable will make other peopletrust you, which will provide you many benefits and give you opportunities thatothers may not get. Being honest, you will find it easier to cooperate withothers and people will be friendly to you and support you. In a sense, if lifeis a long journey, honesty will be the backpack that should be taken along allthe way. Let’s pick up our “backpack”—honesty, and start the wonderfuljourney!

With our world developing,more and more people neglect how to conducttheirselves.What is the most common reflection of this phenomenon isdishonesty,which is now seriously influencing relationship between people.

Being dishonest can do harm not only to others but also toourselves,thus,we must get aware of the importance of boycoting it.Take the caseof the Sanlu powder for example.After drinking Sanlu fake powder,lots of babiesgot sick and had big heads,nevertheless,their bodies still thin.People hatefultoo much,the Sanlu corporation expectedly get punished and never have choice tomake up their faults.

When it comes to the significances of being honest,I consider,we will makegood relationship bewteen others,such as in the school ,in the busineand in thesociety.Furthermore,only if we are honest to others can others become friendlyto us.Therefore,cultivate a virtue of honesty and we will get better.

Honesty is pay attention to all aspects of, business, work, life,friends... All want to pay attention to integrity, people need good faithrelationship; Business integrity is needed to maintain their livelihood, tomaintain the cooperation with other companies. Honesty can make others tooneself, also can let the oneself career and life. Honesty is small enough tomake his own body and mind, big enough to make myself famous. Honesty can helpher in her career success, also can obtain happiness in life.

Said honesty is not only, also want to action, learn to learn to integrity,not confess to others about their bad things to others, and an honest heart alsoneed careful, cautious people, while others, trust yourself and be careful.Integrity needs to insist on, only insist on will increase, there is an idiomcalled a good day, we have to do a sincere, only insist to maintain ourunchanging moral character, can improve their body and mind in honesty, honetheir endurance, this is not a the best of both worlds?

Honesty is honest and trustworthy, a man of faith is often mistake byothers. Honest need courage and cautious, credit needs to insist on and perfect,only do this, can complete is honesty.


诚实英语作文(2)

我是一个诚实的、从不撒谎的小学生。做对了就决不推卸,做错了就勇敢承认。所以我一直为着一点而感觉自豪。而且我也是有真正发生过的事来证明我是一个诚实的人。

有一次,我去学校门口的小店买文具。本来应该是找我5块钱的,也许是她眼花了,所以找给我了8块钱。我在心里暗暗自喜。于是我大摇大摆的回家了,刚拿出钥匙就把8块钱弄掉了,路见的人对我说:“你的钱掉了。”之后他就走了。我想:他看见了十块钱竟然不自己拿掉,还换给我,会不会是我做错了。我又想:是她自己多给我的,我为什么要给她。可是我一想到她满是皱纹的手和不多的人。又似乎看到巧克力在对我招手。我就义无反顾的吧钱还给了她。

虽然没有人表扬我,但是我还是很开心。

我有很多朋友,但是,最要好的朋友还是宋佳慧。她,瘦瘦的个子,一头乌黑的头发。长着一双机灵的大眼,薄薄的嘴唇。还有一张能说会道的小嘴巴,一笑起来还有两个浅浅的酒窝。她两支小辫子,走起路来一甩一甩的,非常漂亮!

我和宋佳慧是形影不离的好朋友,我们一起上学,在一起学作文,一起写作业。

她最大的特点就是乐于助人。有一次,我的铅笔盒忘带了,我借了许多人的笔,他们都不给我用,最后,我向宋佳慧借,她高兴的答应了。下课以后,我对她说:“谢谢你,宋佳慧!”她笑嘻嘻的说:“不用谢,好朋友之间就应该互相帮助。”

她还特别爱好体育活动。记得有一次体育课上,我和宋佳慧还有许多同学一起玩扔沙包的游戏,我和宋佳慧是攻击方,她在场上欢蹦乱跳的,但是每一次都打不中,而且总是把沙包扔的很远。下课铃响了,我们玩的满头大汗,气喘吁吁。“下一节课继续玩!”宋佳慧说。

宋佳慧不仅人长得漂亮,而且诚实善良,乐于助人,聪明活泼。这就是我的好朋友。我想我们现在是朋友,将来永远都是朋友。让这份真挚的友谊陪伴我们一起成长。


诚实英语作文(4)

为什么说诚信是做人的根本?诚信,就是诚实守信,及言行与内心一致,说话算数,言而有信。它是中华民族传统美德,应该传承和发扬。人没有了诚信,就无法立于世了。

有这样一个故事,一个年轻人,乘着小船在人生的路上行驶,他已经拥有了“健康”“美貌”“诚信”“机敏”“才学”“金钱”“地位”七个背包,有一天海上泛起层层巨浪小船上下漂浮不定,很危险。船公说:“小船负重,你必须丢弃一个背包,才能安全。”年轻人,哪个都不愿意说去,绞尽脑汁决定丢弃“诚信”,“诚信”渐渐沉入水中,永远的消失了,年轻人满意的坐在床上抱着他的其余六个背包,以为可以安享的度过一生,不要,小船又开始摇动,原来是船桨断了。船夫急切的说:“不好啦,都怪我提醒了卖船桨的人的话,买了劣质船桨,你赶快把一个背包变成船桨。”年轻人,很是为难呐,六个背包都不肯变成船桨,年轻人把“金钱”丢入水中,却变成一张张废纸。快要沉入海水时,你居然才想起它丢掉了诚信,没有了诚信,就得到了严重的惩罚。

“烽火戏诸侯”讲的也是这么一个道理。只要说的诚信才能让人信任你。

诚信是一个人立于世界的根本,有了诚信,你的人生也会快乐,朋友,你说呢?

我的弟弟叫宇航,今年七岁了。他有一双炯炯有神的大眼睛,一笑起来,脸上有对小酒窝。我弟弟可是一位十足的足球迷。他吃饭时,还不忘把足球放在桌下踢来踢去。这不,踢出问题来了。

一天早上,阳光明媚。我和弟弟在家门口踢足球。弟弟一不留神,猛地一踢,球飞到王奶奶家的鸡窝里,鸡吓得魂飞魄散,四处逃窜。球落下来,刚好砸到蛋,蛋一下子就粉身碎骨。弟弟上前一看,霎时目瞪口呆,心想:这可怎么办,王奶奶一定会生气的!

One morning,it was sunny.My brother and I are playing football at home.The younger brother didn't pay attention.He kicked the ball and flew to Grandma Wang's chicken house.The chicken was scared to death and ran around.The ball falls,just smashes to the egg,the egg immediately disintegrates.The younger brother looked up and was stunned.He thought,"what can I do? Grandma Wang will be angry!"

于是,他扭头就跑。我心想:难道他想让我当替罪羊?我才不呢。于是我也一溜烟似的跑回家了。弟弟回到家从储蓄罐里拿出一元钱,用闪电般的速度冲到张阿姨那儿,买了一个又大又圆的鸡蛋,又小心翼翼地跑到王奶奶面前,真诚地说:“对不起,王奶奶,我刚才把您家母鸡下的蛋给砸破了,这个鸡蛋是我赔给您的,请您原谅我。”王奶奶听了,笑着说:“你真是诚实的好孩子,我不要蛋了,这当是我奖励给你这勇敢的孩子吧。拿回去吧。”

So he turned and ran.I thought to myself:does he want me to be the scapegoat? I refuse.So I ran home like a smoke.The younger brother came home and took out one yuan from the savings jar,rushed to Aunt Zhang with lightning speed,bought a big and round egg,ran carefully to Grandma Wang,and said sincerely,"I'm sorry,Grandma Wang,I just smashed the egg laid by your hen.I compensate you for this egg.Please forgive me." Grandma Wang listened and said with a smile,"you are really a good honest child.I don't want to lay eggs.This should be my reward for you brave child.Take it back."

看,我这个弟弟可真诚实啊!

Look,my brother is honest!

诚实英语作文(10)

It is true that most of us value honesty highly.However,nowadays we often confront confidence crisis such as cheating,overcharging,fake commodities and so on.I think that we should be honest because being honest is not only beneficial to ourselves but also to others and the whole society.

The reasons can be listed as follows.Firstly,only honest people can be truly respected by the others and can make more friends over a long period of time.Secondly,honesty,which is the traditional virtue of the Chinese people,can make our life easier and more harmonious.For example,consumers will not be afraid of being overcharged if dealers are honest,and thus dealers can win over more customers.Thirdly,honesty can make our society more stable.A case in point is that Singapore,a society featuring trustworthiness and integrity,has a comparatively low criminal rate.

It goes without saying that being honest is of great benefit to both the community and individuals.There is no doubt that we should foster the spirit of honesty.In conclusion,laying stress on honesty will become the public morals in our society.

从前有一个穷人住在河边的村庄里。他是个樵夫。他过去常常到森林去砍柴卖钱。

有一天,他像往常一样到森林里去砍柴。 他砍了一会儿以后坐在河岸边休息。 他的斧子掉到了河里,这是他拥有的惟一的一把斧子。 他没法从河里取回斧子,所以就开始哭了起来。

神仙赫耳墨斯出现了,问他为什么哭。 樵夫告诉神仙他惟一的一把斧子掉到了河里,他没法捞上来。

赫耳墨斯为他感到难过,于是他跳进水里,拿上来一把金斧子。 他问樵夫:“这是你的斧子吗?”樵夫回答:“不,不是。”赫耳墨斯又跳进水里,出来时拿着一把银斧子。他把他交给樵夫,但是诚实的樵夫不要,因为那不是他的。 于是神仙赫耳墨斯第三次跳进水里,取回了樵夫的斧子。 樵夫非常高兴,感谢了赫耳墨斯,留下了自己的斧子。 赫耳墨斯对穷樵夫的诚实感到非常满意,因此他把金斧子和银斧子作为礼物送给了樵夫。

当樵夫与朋友们聚在一起时,他把赫耳墨斯如何帮他取回斧子并将另外两把斧子送给他的经过告诉了他们。他的一个朋友想,跟樵夫做同样的事是个好主意。于是他来到河边,故意把斧子丢到河里。然后坐下来开始哭。赫耳墨斯出现了,问他为什么哭。他回答说他的斧子掉到了河里。

赫耳墨斯跳进水里,带回一把金斧子,问他这是不是他的。那人拿了金斧子说:“是,它是我的。”赫耳墨斯对他非常生气。 因为他说谎。 于是他拿走了那把金斧子,甚至连那人自己的斧子也不为他取回了。

【中文语料】

世界上大部分甚至所有的文化和宗教都将诚实称赞为一种美德。如果要刘局出我们希望能在朋友或恋人身上扎到的一些品质,很多人都会把诚实列在首位。事实上,很多人也行认为诚实是其他人的事,而与自己无关。但是考虑到撒谎和欺骗会带来不良影响,我认为诚实会为自己带来的是最大的利益。

一方面,不诚实对心里健康也会带来严重的负面影响。不诚实的人即使他们尚未被“发现”,也会在心里承受内疚感和羞耻感。这是因为,尽管撒谎是不道德的,不部分撒谎的人内心深处还是有道德观念的。另一方面,那些做出误导或欺骗行为的人是迟早要被揭穿的。当然,一次次的谎言也学都可能会侥幸不被发现。但是,一旦发现,撒谎的人面临的可能就是巨大的损失,甚至导致他们身败名裂。根据欺诈的性质,有些人的谎言被揭露后,可能意味着失去工作,众叛亲离甚至有可能要蹲监狱。

总体而言,虽然我们周边的欺诈行为不可能被清除,但是我们可以决定自己是否要做一个诚实的人,城市到什么程度。考虑到撒谎带来的不良影响——包括损害精神健康以及受到惨重的损失,毋庸置疑,做一诚实的人是我们唯一的选择。

【参考范文】

Honesty is regarded as a virtue by most, if not all, of the world's cultures and religions. Many of us, if asked to enumerate the qualities we seek in a friend or a partner, would place honesty at the top of the list. In reality, many people seem to think that being honest is for others and not for themselves. However, I believe that, given the negative consequences of lying and deception, practicing honesty is in our own best interest.

For one thing, being dishonest can have serious side-effects on our mental health. Dishonest people even if they have not yet been “found out”, are likely to carry guilt and shame inside them. This is because, although lying is an immoral, most liars still have a conscience deep down inside. For another thing, those who misleads or lie to others are bound to be caught sooner or later. Indeed, people may get away with lying once or even several times. However, the one time that they get caught could entail great loss, or even spell their downfall. Depending on the nature of deception, having one's lies could mean losing one's job, being deserted by friends and family, or even spending time in jail.

Generally speaking, while it may be impossible to eliminate the deceit that exists around us, each of us can decide whether, and to what extent, to practice truthfulness ourselves. Considering the adverse influence that lying can have——including destroying our mental heath and , ultimately, causing us to suffer great loss——it is apparent that honesty is our only viable option.

英语作文写技巧:

1. 灵活改变句子开头

在通常情况下,英语句子的排列方式为“主语+谓语+宾语”,即主语位于句子开头。但若根据情况适当改变句子的开头方式,比如使用倒状语或以状语开头等,会使文章增强表现力。如:

(1) There stands an old temple at the top of the hill.

→ At the top of the hill there stands an old temple.

在小山顶上有一座古庙。

(2) You can do it well only in this way.

→ Only in this way can you do it well.

只有这样你才能把它做好。

(3) A young woman sat by the window.

→ By the window sat a young woman.

窗户边坐着一个年轻妇女。

2. 避免重复使用同一词语

为了使表达更生动,更富表现力,同学们在写作时应尽量避免重复使用同一词语来表示同一意思,尤其是一些老生常谈的词语。如有的同学一看到“喜欢”二字,就会立刻想起like,事实上,英语中表示类似意思的词和短语很多,如 love, enjoy, prefer, appreciate, be fond of, care for等。如:

I like reading while my brother likes watching television.

→ I like reading while my brother enjoys watching television.

我喜欢看书,而我的兄弟却喜欢看电视。

3. 合理使用省略句

合理恰当地使用省略句,不仅可以使文章精练、简洁,而且会使文章更具文采和可读性。如:

(1) He may be busy. If he’s busy, I’ll call later. If he is not busy, can I see him now?

→ He may be busy. If so, I’ll call later. If not, can I see him now?

他可能很忙,要是这样,我以后再来拜访。要是不忙,我现在可以见他吗?

(2) If the weather is fine, we’ll go. If it is not fine, we’ll not go.

→ If the weather is fine, we’ll go. If not, not.

如果天气好,我们就去;如果天气不好,我们就不去了。

(3) She could have applied for that job, but she didn’t do so.

→ She could have applied for that job, but she didn’t.

她本可申请这份工作的,但她没有。

4. 适当运用非谓语结构

非谓语结构通常被认为是一种高级结构,适当运用非谓语结构,会给人一种熟练驾驭语言的印象。如:

(1) When he heard the news, they all jumped for joy.

→ Hearing the news, they all jumped for joy.

听了这消息他们都高兴得跳了起来。

(2) As I didn’t know her address, I wasn’t able to get in touch with her.

→ Not knowing her address, I wasn’t able to get in touch with her.

由于不知道她的地址,我没法和她联系。

(3) As he was born into a peasant family, he had only two years of schooling.

→ Born into a peasant family, he had only two years of schooling.

他出生农民家庭,只上过两年学。

5. 结合使用长句与短句

在英语写作中,过多地使用长句或过多地使用短句都不好。正确的做法是,根据实际情况在文章中交替使用长句与短语,使文章显得错落有致,这样不仅使文章在形式上增加美感,而且使文章读起来铿锵有力。如:

At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. Then we had a short rest. Then we began to play happily. We sang and danced. Some told stories. Some played chess.

→ At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. After a short rest, we had great fun singing and dancing, telling jokes and playing chess.

中午我们晒着太阳吃野餐。休息一会儿后,我们唱的唱歌,跳的跳舞,还有的讲笑话、下棋,大家玩得很开心。

6. 适当使用短语代替单词

(1) He has decided to be a teacher when he grows up.

→ He has made up his mind to be a teacher when he grows up.

他已决定长大了当老师。

(2) He doesn't like music.

→ He doesn't care much for music.

他不大喜欢音乐。

(3) He told me that the question was now under discussion.

→ He told me that the question was now being discussed.

他告诉我问题现正正在讨论中。
