大学校园生活作文英文【一】
I read the Chinese version of “Camille” a few years ago. At that time I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier. “Camille” or “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexandre Dumas, fils, is the story of Marguerite Gautier, a young courtesan, or kept woman, in Paris in the mid 1800's, and how she falls in love with a young man, Armand Duval, and then tries to escape from her questionable past. Unfortunately, it comes back to haunt her and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone, but with the knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart. When I first began to read the book, I did not care for Marguerite or her attitude or lifestyle, but as I got further into the narrative, I realized that her saucy attitude was a front to cover the lonely woman that she really was. She felt used, abused and unloved, until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life and showed her that he loved her as a person and not for what she could do for him. It must have taken great courage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for so long, knowing all along that it was probably too good to be true and would not last indefinitely. And it also showed that Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.
However, happiness didn’t last for long. When M. Duval, Armand's father, came to her, pleading for her to leave Armand to save both Armand's reputation and that of his younger innocent sister, Marguerite saw a way to become pure of heart, if not in body. She felt that it was her duty, because she loved Armand so much, to do this even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily. She reluctantly returned to her former life, knowing that.some day Armand would forgive her. Sadly, she died in debt and basically alone, except for her one female friend, Julie Duprat, who helped her during her illness. She had her journal sent to Armand after her death, explaining why she had made the choices she had. I think Dumas's last few lines about Marguerite being the exception, not the rule were quite true, and I also agreed with his view that while her lifestyle could not be condoned, we as a society assume that all of these type of women are cold and heartless, while this may not always be the case. A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young, and try to redeem themselves, but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives, even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances: involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc. And this is the fact, which exists in the whole society.
As far as the other characters in the book, I think Marguerite was right in saying that no one truly cared about her, but only wanted something from her, the only exceptions being Armand and Julie Duprat. Of course, the Comte de G. and Comte de N. wanted her body and appearance. The
Duke needed to “wake up and smell the coffee” and realize that she could never replace his dead daughter. If he truly cared, he could have helped her leave her lifestyle without “keeping” her himself. And lastly, Prudence was a blood-sucking leech who used Marguerite almost worse than the men. I also think she was jealous of the fact that Marguerite had so much more courage than herself and someone truly loved her.
Last morning, when tiding my bookshelf, I took this book out of the shelf, and a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. I held it against the morning light and blew on it. The soft breeze carried it away. Camille is just like the camellia, she could never escape from the destiny of withering. But it wasn’t her fault; it’s because of the evil of Capitalism and the hideousness of that society.
Suddenly, I remembered a saying: “Women are like the flowers”. Those pretty women are like those beautiful flowers; their delicate beauty makes people feel they are the miracle of life. However, even the God envies their beauty. It seems that beautiful women always have tragic endings. As we are normal persons, even we can see the hideousness of humanity that results in their fate of withering, we can at most ask quietly in our hearts: Where have those beautiful flowers gone? Where have they gone?
The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe
It seemed to be such a coincidence that the night after I finished reading The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe, I was to dine in a restaurant distinctly related to the book itself. This restaurant was no other than the famous American-styled “Friday ’s. ” The reason for mentioning this restaurant is quite straightforward to all the gentlemen, ladies and children who have read the novel and enjoyed it, which is the fact that this restaurant was, most likely, named after the American Native in Robinson Crusoe, called Friday. This restaurant offers very exceptional service, for instance when the waitresses are asked to order dishes they kneel rather than stand, which, unlike the other restaurants I have been to, makes it easier for the customers to hear them speak. Moreover, Friday’s friendly services to the customers help them to make better choices when ordering dishes. I remembered when I went to Friday ’s last time; the waitress kindly described the items on the menu with precise details. It turned out that the combo I initially wanted was designed to be shared among a large group, not to be eaten by one person. I think this restaurant shows many commendable features similar to that of Friday. Friday brought emotional warmth to the people around him with his appealing personality. I think it was this personality that affected Crusoe and made him say that he loved Friday when Crusoe didn ’t express love for his parents, brothers, sisters, or even his wife. “When he espied me, he came running to me, laying himself down again upon the ground, with all the possible signs of an humble, thankful disposition, making many antic gestures to show it to let me know how he would serve me as long as he lived.” This was what Friday did after Crusoe had rescued him from the two savages chasing him. It was easy for me to see why Crusoe had loved Friday. After sometime, Crusoe and Friday were to rescue Friday’s father. When Friday reunited with his father, the scene was easy to move anyone: “It would have moved anyone to tears to have seen how Friday kissed him, embraced him, hugged him, cried, laughed, halloed, jumped about, danced,
sung; and then sung and jumped about again, like a distracted creature. It was a good while before I could make him speak to me.” This is my favourite chapter in the whole book. It is hard to see why Friday is an ex-savage when he can have personalities more praiseworthy than many civilized people, viz. Crusoe himself. “When he (Friday went to him (Friday’s father, he would sit down by him, open his breast, and hold his father’s head close to his bosom, half an hour together, to nourish it; then he took his arms and ankles, which were numbed and stiff with the binding, and rubbed them with his hands.” Furthermore, Friday’s expression of loyalty in asking Crusoe to kill him rather than leave him is more heartfelt than anything Crusoe ever says or does.
Crusoe, on the absolute contrary, seems incapable of deep feelings, as shown by his account of leaving his family—he never shows any emotions. After a moving lecture from Robinson’s father about his future, he still decided to follow his own wandering ambition. Careless was he about the wishes of his parents to keep him alive and prosperous, as he was the only child left in the family. When he came back from the island which he had lived on for twenty eight years, he found that it had been too late to tell his parents that he was still alive, but yet again he did not feel sorry for them; he also did not feel sorry for the two people who had to live in misery for nearly thirty years under the allusion all of their sons were dead. He had the same feelings for his wife: when he was married, he said it was “not either to my disadvantage or dissatisfaction”, implying that it was also neither to his advantage nor his satisfaction. Moreover, after his wife died, Robinson did not think of looking after the three children they had, but went back to the island, which he had lived on for twenty-eight years. It was on this trip which Robinson Crusoe revisited “His Island ” as he called it. I feel that Robinson ’s indifference to his family is almost emotionally cruel.
Before had clearly shown the contrast between Crusoe’s and Friday’s personalities, as when Friday, in his joyful reunion with his father, displayed far more emotion toward his family members than Crusoe, whereas Crusoe never mentions missing his family or dreams about the happiness of seeing them again. I think Defore is very successful in introducing Friday as part of the novel, it makes the whole novel seem much more complete and gripping to the reader, as well as proving that Defoe’s ideology of racism is civilized unlike many other Europeans at that time; natives and savages are not worse than others but can perhaps even be more modern and civilized. Those are the reasons of why I like The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe and Friday.

这次，学校带我们参观了北大。看着那里面的学生有说有笑，使我产生了一个念头我要上北大。
北大的校园十分美丽，景色美不胜收，到处树影婆娑，一座古塔耸立在树丛中，给人一种古代园林的感觉，未名湖湖波荡漾，波光粼粼。各种景物与树与湖浑然一体，给人一种放松之感。
我们还听了一次演讲，给了我很大的感触。我明白了，吃得苦中苦方为人上人，只有勤奋努力，才能够考上自己理想的大学，只不过，光靠毅力是不够的，还需要掌握正确的学习方法，要不然也只是徒劳，还要对自己有信心。
这次参观虽然很累，但是却给了我许多收获，让我改变了我的学习态度。让我明白了要想实现自己的梦想就需要努力拼搏，而且要掌握一定的技巧和方法。在参观时，导游说道：“要想记住一些东西其实并不难，我们可以采用幻想记忆法，将一些难得东西转化成一些画面来帮助记忆，这样可以防止遗忘。而且要将老师教给你的东西转化为你自己的知识，这样你就不会觉得记东西太难了。而且你要不断琢磨老师讲的含义，去理解。这样你才能成为学习高手，才能将知识融会贯通。”导游的这番话让我说到了很大的启发，我因该努力学习。
感谢学校的这次参观，我一定要努力学习。长风破浪会有时，直挂云帆济沧海。我一定会努力的。
大学校园生活作文英文【三】
清华、北大是梦想，承载着我无限的想象；清华、北大是力量，给予我追梦的勇气；清华、北大是目标，是我努力学习的方向。今年暑假，我终于得到了一个参观清华、北大的机会，我怀着崇敬的心情踏上旅程。
第一站是北大，首先映入眼帘的是“西大门”，它是北京大学最早的大门，古色古香又雄伟壮观，能让人感受到北大的庄严、肃穆。走过“西大门”就算进入了一个神圣的学术殿堂——“北京大学”，“北京大学”是一所带有浓厚古中国特色的大学，可也有“百年讲堂”这样现代化的建筑，大学里著名的景观当数“一塔湖图”。“一塔湖图”里的“塔”就是指“博雅塔”。“博雅塔”最早是为解决全校师生饮水而建造，后来有了自来水就弃用，它虽为水塔，但造型上有门有窗，有壁画有浮雕和真塔一样。“一塔湖图”的“湖”就是著名的“未名湖”，湖水碧绿，中间有一个湖心岛，桥把北岸和湖心岛相连，成为北大学子休闲散步的好去处。
从北大走入清华，好似由古朴典雅的古代进入光彩夺目的现代。清华是由外国人援助建造，所以多少有些西洋风格。清华最著名的景观当数“二校门”，乳白色的石门流露出清丽庄严之美，以前是清华大学正门，现在作为“门”的功能正在减弱，而转变为清华的标志性景观。清华大学不仅是优秀的学府，还是国家的科技中心，培养了许多优秀的人才：“导弹之父”钱学森；若贝尔物理学奖获得者李政道，“两弹元勋”邓稼先等等，他们为祖国的强大做出了贡献，我非常的崇拜他们，我也要成为国家的栋梁，成为清华的一员。
我很早就知道清华的校训“自强不息，厚德载物”。我将以勤奋、踏实、不屈不饶的学习态度，坚定不移的学习下去，去实现我的梦想。
