1. 写一个关于记忆深刻的故事的英语作文60字

4月26日，老师带我们游览了文湖公园。
清早，我们乘者着汽车在笔直的马路上飞驰．不内一会儿，便来到了文容湖公园。大门上端挂着“文湖公园”四个夺目耀眼的大字。我们排着浩浩荡荡的整齐的队伍，走进了公园的大门．
进了公园，就闻道到阵阵花香扑鼻而来．原来是摆放在喷水池对面的郁金香．在右边的假山旁放着一盆盆刚刚怒放的樱花，形成了无边的花海．有的樱花仿佛像是霜花，有的像粉红的胭脂，有的像害羞的小姑娘，还有的像玫瑰那样姿态各异．
往前走一段石子小路就来到猴子乐园．猴子们看到我们来了，就都忙活开了．就连睡大觉的小猴子也突然醒了．有的猴子爬上笼子荡秋千，有的跳到钢丝上，好像在号召猴子们表演杂技，有的老猴子在给小猴子挠痒痒，有的小猴子在妈妈身旁，沐浴着温暖的阳光，还有的小猴子正在抢同学们给它的糖果和糕点．同学们都欢笑着，吵闹着．突然，有一位同学把一瓶可口可乐扔了进去，小猴子灵敏地从妈妈身上跳下来，接住那瓶可乐，用手把可乐的瓶盖打开，把瓶口塞到妈妈嘴里，让妈妈喝……“真是一个懂礼貌的好孩子呀！”我情不自禁的地赞叹道．
集合的哨声响起了，我们乘着汽车依依不舍的地离开了文湖公园．

(2)故事英语作文60字扩展阅读

基于不同的研究视角，人们把“精卫填海”神话归于不同的神话类型。显然“精卫填海”神话属于典型的变形神话，且属于变形神话中的“死后托生”神话，即将灵魂托付给现实存在的一种物质。

不仅如此‘精卫填海”还属于复仇神话，女娃生前与大海无冤无仇，但是却不慎溺水身亡，如此与大海结下仇恨，化身为鸟终身进行填海的复仇事业。

有研究者认为：“中国上古神话中记录了很多典型的非自然死亡，其中的意外让今人看到了先人在自然面前的弱小和无能为力，同时也透出了生命的脆弱。”

女娃的死就是一种因事故而亡，展现出了人生命的脆弱和大海的强大。著名作家茅盾则认为：“精卫与刑天是属于同型的神话，都是描写象征百折不回的毅力和意志的，这是属于道德意识的鸟兽神话。”

Man’s dearest possession is life. It is given to him but once, and he must live it so as to feel no torturing regrets for wasted years, never know the burning shame of a mean and petty past; so live that, dying, he might say: all my life, all my strength were given to the finest cause in all the world—the fight for the Liberation of Mankind.

人生最宝贵的是生命。生命对于人来说只有一次。一个人的生命应该这样度过：当他回首往事时，不因虚度年华而悔恨；也不会因为碌碌无为而羞耻。在临死的时候他能够说：我的整个生命和全部精力都已经献给了世界上最壮丽的事业――为人类的解放事业而斗争！

Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is the most important festival for Chinese people all over the world. It is also called the Spring Festival or the Lunar New Year. The exact date of the Spring Festival on the Western calendar changes from year to year. However, Chinese New Year takes place between January 1 and February 19.
On the Chinese calendar every year has an animal's name. These animals are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. A Chinese legend says that these twelve animals had a race. The first year was named after the rat, the winner. The other eleven years were named according to the order in which the animals arrived in the race. The clever rat jumped onto the ox's back, and then at the end jumped over the ox's head to arrive first!
The Chinese believe that a person born in a particular year has some of the characteristics of that animal.

5. 用英语写一篇关于自己的一个小故事60

这是我之前写的一篇文章

A Scary Experience

In 2002 a very scary thing happened around me.One day, at school，as usual, my classmates and I were having our physics class. Most of the students were paying attention to what the teacher was saying, but some boys were looking around and not listening to the class. Nothing seemed unusual.

Suddenly, one of my classmates shouted, “Look outside!! Someone jumped out of that window!” This definitely interrupted class, but everyone ignored him because no one believed that people just jumped out of a window in a tall building. People always tell lies and try to trick you, so no one took any action about it. My classmate was still saying, “Believe me, it is true.”

After a few minutes, the truth shocked everyone, because my classmate was right. A student just committed suicide by jumping from the building which was facing ours. The class stopped and some brave people went outside to see, but I didn’t. They told me there was blood all over the ground. They couldn’t even recognize who that student was because his face was all messed up. People from the school quickly covered the dead body. In a few minutes, everyone in the school knew what just happened.

This whole event happened so quickly. There were actually two people who saw the whole thing. One was my classmate who shouted in the class and another was a teacher walking nearby. The teacher was totally scared. At the moment the student dropped on the ground in front of her she sat down with her eyes shut tightly. I heard that after this event the teacher was in the hospital for a month.

9. —个关于朋友的英语作文有故事(60字左右)

眼睛，我终于认识到你的重要性了。一开始，我不知道怎样爱护你，总是经常伤害你。自从老师让我们做了失去双眼的游戏。体会盲人的感觉。我才意识到失去眼睛，将是多么可怕的事情。看不见花红柳绿，看不见莺飞燕舞，看不见蓝天白云......我真的不能没有你啊，我自认为给你安块玻璃对你有好处，可是我错了，那并没有什么好处，只是给你增加负担。眼睛是心灵的窗户，我一定要保护好我们的眼睛。
除了眼保健操，还有更好的保护眼睛的方法吗？
对青少年学生来说，还要注意写字、阅读距离最好不小于30厘米；台灯不宜太亮，用普通灯泡15瓦合适，用三基色节能灯3瓦合适。长时间近距离用眼时应该戴专用的防近视眼镜；看电脑的距离不小于60厘米，看电视的距离不小于3米。已经近视或有其它屈光缺陷的眼应该常戴度数准确的眼镜。每天睡眠时间不少于8小时。
推拿操 （眼保健操）
采取坐式或仰卧式均可，将两眼自然闭合，然后依次按摩眼睛周围的穴位。要求取穴准确、手法轻缓，以局部有酸胀感为度。
1．揉天应穴：用双手大拇指轻轻揉按天应穴（眉头下面、眼眶外上角处）。
2．挤按睛明穴：用一只手的大拇指轻轻揉按睛明穴（鼻根部紧挨两眼内眦处）先向下按，然后又向上挤。
这就是保护眼睛的方法，但最关键的还是在我们生活中点点滴滴的一些小事，你说我说的对吗？

Already at the end of his patience the salesman was afraid that she might change her mind again so he tried to flatter her: "An excellent choice, madam. You look at least ten years younger with this hat on!" To his dismay, the lady took off her hat at once and said: "I don't want a hat that makes me look ten years older as soon as I take it off. Show me some more hats!"

Not long after an old Chinese woman came back to China from her visit to her daughter in the States, she went to a city bank to deposit the US dollars her daughter gave her. At the bank counter, the clerk checked each note carefully to see if the money was real. It made the old lady out of patience.
At last she could not hold any more, uttering. "Trust me, Sir, and trust the money. They are real US dollars. They are directly from America."
它们是从美国直接带来的
一位中国老妇人在美国看望女儿回来不久，到一家市银行存女儿送给她的美元。在银行柜台，银行职员认真检查了每一张钞票，看是否有假。
这种做法让老妇人很不耐烦，最后实在忍耐不住说：“相信我，先生，也请你相信这些钞票。这都是真正的美元，它们是从美国直接带来的。”
She kindled a third match. Again shot up the flame； and now she was sitting under a most beautiful Christmas tree ,far larger, and far more prettily decked out, than the one she had seen last Christmas eve through the glass doors of the rich merchant's house. Hundreds of wax-tapers lighted up the green branches, and tiny painted figures, such as she had seen in the shop-windows, looked down from the tree upon her. The child stretched out her hands towards them in delight, and in that moment the lights of the match warm quenched； still, however, the Christmas candles burned higher and higher， she beheld them beaming like stars in heaven； one of them fell, the lights streaming behind it like a long, fiery tail.
“Now some one is dying,” said the little girl, softly, for she had been told by her old grandmother， the only person who had ever been kind to her, and who was now dead that whenever a star falls an immortal spirit returns to the God who gave it.
She struck yet another match against the wall； it flamed up, and surrounded by its light, appeared before her that same dear grandmother, gentle and loving as always, but bright and happy as she had never looked ring her lifetime.
她擦着了第三根火柴，又冒出了火焰。现在她觉得正坐在非常美丽的圣诞树下面，比上次圣诞节透过那富商家的玻璃门看到的那株还要大、还要美。这株树的绿枝上点燃着许许多多的蜡烛，颜色瑰丽的图画，就象橱窗里挂着的那些一样漂亮，仿佛在向她眨眼。小姑娘把两只手伸过去，火柴又熄灭了。然而圣诞树上的烛光越升越高。她看到它们变成了明亮的星星，有一颗落下来，在天上划出一道长长的火丝。
“现在又有一个什么人死了。”小姑娘说。因为她的老祖母——一个唯一待她好的人，现在已经死了，曾经告诉过她，天上落下一颗星，地上就有一个灵魂回到曾赋于他生命的上帝那里去。
她在墙上又擦了一根火柴，火光把四周照亮了。在亮光里，亲爱的和生前一样的祖母出现了。她依然是那么的慈爱和温和，然而那快活和幸福的样子却是她生前从未有过的
