难忘的教训英文作文

我们学到的许多知识是在生活中、在社会上获得的，并不只是在课堂上获得的。这事我深有体会：

记得那是寒假的一天，早上我一起床，就坐在沙发上看电视。也许是今天的电视太精彩了，我看了一个又一个，以至于把爸爸给我布置的作业抛到了九霄云外。但我猛然间又抬表一看，啊！已经ll：30了，爸爸要下班了。爸爸给我布置的作文还一字没动呢！爸爸回来可是要批评的。正当我手足无措时e799bee5baa6e997aee7ad94e4b893e5b19e337，眼角无意间瞄到了书架上的《小学生作文选》。眼前不由得一亮，有了！从作文书上抄一篇不就得了。这样既可以节省时间，又可以得到爸爸的夸奖。说干就干，我翻开作文书找了一篇有关《劳动的滋味》的作文。我急急忙忙地炒了起来，刚抄完，爸爸就回来了。一进门，爸爸就问今天的作业完成了吗？我故作轻松地说：“好了，好了。还不是小菜一碟么。”爸爸听了摸着我的头说：“这就好，这就好。”

吃过午饭后，爸爸就开始检查我的作文。我的心里像揣了一只小兔怦怦地跳个不停，就怕爸爸发现我抄了作文。真是越怕有事越有事，不一会儿爸爸就皱起了眉头，好像看出了我这篇作文是抄袭别人的。果然不出乎我的意料，爸爸指着作文严肃地问道:“这篇作文真的是你写的?听了爸爸这句话，我紧张极了，头上冒出了汗珠，心想：是实话实说呢?还是再骗爸爸一回。承认了怕爸爸骂我，不承认有怕爸爸说我不诚实。最后我抱着侥幸的心理，决定再骗爸爸一回。作文确实是我写的，如果我骗你，我就……还没等我说完，爸爸就打断了我的话，脸色就更加难看了：“别说了，你的眼睛告诉我你在撒谎，你从来没有烧过饭，炒过菜，你怎么会写得这么详细呢，你肯定在骗爸爸。犯了错不要紧，但如果不承认那就是错上加错。你是想做一个诚实的孩子，还是想做一个不诚实的孩子。”听了爸爸的话，我的脸羞得通红通红，低着头向爸爸说出了实情。爸爸听了后并没有责怪我，而是轻轻地摸了摸我的头，慈祥地说:“这才是爸爸的好儿子。你要记住：一个人干事要认真，做人要诚实。一个人从小学会了撒谎，养成了坏毛病，长大后也不会有出息的。”我羞愧地对爸爸说：“我以后一定要做一个诚实的孩子。”

爸爸给我上了一堂生动的课，这堂课上，我明白了：干事要认真，做人要诚实。

biggest change in my life

I experienced the biggest change in my life when I was 14 years of age, which I think was and still is important to me. I have really changed. The way I act, my attitude and even the language I use every day has changed. First, it seemed to be strange and unusual, but after a year or so, it became normal to me.

Before I came to Ireland, I lived in Lithuania. It is situated along the Baltic Sea. I have lived there my whole life and I had no idea that I would ever change my home country. I had many friends there; I was involved in loads of activities after school, such as basketball, swimming, embroidery, sewing etc. so nearly everybody knew me.

When I was told that I would have to leave a country I never thought about leaving my best friends may be forever. I didn't understand the meaning of leaving home.

Our journey was about three days long because we weren't in a rush. Travelling throughout the different countries opened my eyes to a wonderful and beautiful world that surrounds us. Different countries have different styles of architecture. there is also different people which brings different culture. Those simple things around me changed my outlook on life. I never understood certain things before I started to travel but I surely do now. Even though my journey wasn't that long I managed to find few friends from different countries who spoke different languages. That felt great even though I didn't know the other language but we managed to communicate with each other.

When I came to Ireland, my first impression was wow!!e799bee5baa6e79fa5e98193e59b9ee7ad94331 There are no high apartment buildings like in Lithuania, and all the buildings on the main street are different colours!� Ireland is beautiful itself; a lot of drumlins, mountains and a lot of green.

By changing the country I also changed the languages. I've studied the English language for two years before I left Lithuania, 3-4 classes a week. When I was there I thought I knew the English language quite well, but when I came here everything seems to have changed. I still remember the first day in school when girls in my class started to ask me questions can you tell me something about your country? Tell us more about yourself! but I was so scared I couldn't understand a word it was aid to me. I was so embarrassed I couldn't say a word to the girls. I was sitting in the same class for the whole day without knowing what was going on, or what subjects we had or when the break time was. I didn't know anything. In addition, I remember the girl from the next class asking me to go down town with them because I was so confused I didn't know what to say or what to do. All I could say was no I felt so bad when the same girl came back from her lunch and bought me some sweets and crisps. All I could say was no and then I said "thank you" This example shows how friendly Irish people are.

I should say I was lucky that I got extra English classes with one of our teachers which helped me a lot to learn the language. After a few months when I started to talk in English just a little bit I was embarrassed to communicate with people just in case I would say something wrong or they would not understand me. So I was just there sitting in the corner during the little break and doing my homework instead of talking with the girls and having a great time. I thought it was my fault that I didn�t have friends to spend my free time with. So I was sitting at home all the time. I know I wasn't supposed to do that because all the girls that I know are really nice and friendly.

Now I am really happy that I got a chance in my life to live somewhere else outside my home country. It made me more mature and understanding person.
