重阳节英语作文5句话小学【精选20篇】

重阳节，又称登高节，为农历九月初九。在重阳节这天，传统的饮食是重阳糕、菊花(chrysanthemum)酒、菊花茶。登高、插茱萸(cornel)和赏菊是重阳节的重要习俗。

这些活动不仅增加了重阳节的节日气氛，而且据说通过这些活动，还可以避祸免灾。如今，重阳节已经无法见到插茱萸的风俗了，但是很多人仍然习惯在这一天登高赏菊，观赏秋天的美景。在中国的一些地方，重阳节还有祭拜祖先之墓的风俗。具有悠久历史的重阳节已经被列入第一批国家级非物质(in切rngible)文化遗产名录。

Chongyang Festival, also known as Heights Ascending Festival, falls on the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. Chongyang cake, chrysanthemum wine and chrysanthemum tea are traditional diet of the festival. Ascending heights, wearing cornel and appreciating chrysanthemums are important customs of that day. These activities not only add to the festive atmosphere, but allegedly help people avoid misfortune and prevent disasters.

Although one can no longer see anyone wearing cornel on the day of Chongyang Festival now,many people still have the habit of climbing a mountain to appreciate chrysanthemums and enjoy the beautiful scenery in autumn. In some places of China, people also visit the graves of their ancestors to pay their respects. The long-standing Chongyang Festival has been listed in the first group of national intangible cultural heritages.

[重阳节小学英语作文

早上，说：“淼腾，是重阳节佳节，一起去外婆家吃饭。”我说：“好的，好的。”我学过的诗《九月九日忆山东兄弟》中写的两句话“独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲。”，心里的想外婆，恨飞到外婆家。

先去了菜市场买了一桌的菜和外婆爱吃的东西，就乘着公共汽车到外婆家去。

外婆家我先向外婆说：“节日快乐！”边说边到厨房里帮外婆烤螃蟹。我先在锅里倒点水，再把蟹锅里蒸。我仔细观察，螃蟹的脚在动。我，等螃蟹的脚完全不动了，蟹壳通红，像喝醉了酒，我才关了火。我大声叫着：“螃蟹出锅了。爸妈，外婆你们尝一尝，我做的样！”，她们各自拿了蟹脚品尝了一下。外婆笑着说：“味道不错，淼腾长大了，会蒸螃蟹了，也懂事了不少。”我听了外婆的话心里像吃了蜜甜。

开饭时，和外婆也烧了菜，一家人坐在桌前津津有味地吃着美味可口的饭菜，其乐融融，笑声。就在欢声笑语中，不知不觉又了，我依依不舍地离开外婆回家来了。

伴着今秋的凉风，丹桂的芬芳，上周我们又迎来了一个重阳节。这是个代表九九日月相逢的节日，是个象征着长长久久的节日，是个尊老、敬老、爱老的节日。

尊敬老人，是中华民族的传统美德，数千年代代相传。孔子认为，作子女的，如果仅仅是赡养父母，但并不尊敬他们，更不能以和颜悦色的态度对待他们，这不算真正孝敬老人。孟子则进一步提出：“老吾老，以及人之老。”意思是说，在赡养、孝敬自己的长辈时，也要关心、爱护其他的与自己没有血缘关系的老人。

同学们的爷爷奶奶、外公外婆，他们的年纪一定都大了，他们为社会的发展作出了巨大的贡献，为自己的子女奉献了全部的心血。我们应该尊重和爱戴他们，更要关爱他们的身体健康。

九九重阳，与“久久”同音，含有长久长寿之意。我想，这也是把“重阳节”定为“老人节”的意义所在吧。

老人对我们的爱，博大而无私。我们对老人的关心，渺小而稀少。很多时候，我们总是理所当然地手心向上地去索取，却忽略了雨天为他们撑上一把伞，劳动后为他们递上一杯热茶，睡觉前为他们揉揉肩……

同学们，从现在开始，让我们一起努力，从身边的每一件小事做起，把“尊老、敬老、爱老、助老”的传统美德发扬光大，让报福中学成为“孝亲敬老”的模范校园!

那么，就让我们和更多老人共度重阳节吧!乘车时，主动起身将座位让给老人。排队时，主动让老人站到自己的前面。过马路时，主动上前搀扶一把身边的老人……这简单的起身、简单的谦让、简单的搀扶，是对生命的尊重，对岁月的尊重，对崇高品质的尊重。

最后祝福天下所有的老人：节日愉快身体健康，笑口常开幸福永在!

A little monkey picks up a pumpkin and wants to take it home.But the pumpkin is toobig.The monkey cant take it home.

I like playing guitar,so my father buys me a guitar for fun.It is very funny.Then my mother asks me to have guitar class.She thinks to learn more skill

is good for me.I start to have guitar class.It is really funny at first.But later on,I feel very tired.It is not easy to get improved.I want to giveup,but I insist at last.Now I can pay several songs.I feel proud of it.

我弹吉他

我喜欢弹吉他,所以我爸爸给我买一把吉他的乐趣。这是非常有趣的。然后我妈妈问我有吉他课。她认为学习更多的技能对我有好处。我开始上吉他课。这是非常有趣的。但是后来,我感觉非常疲劳。不容易得到改善。我想给最后,但我坚持。现在我可以支付一些歌曲。我感到自豪。

英语念起来干枯无聊，我偶尔往前面望去，有一排同学没事可做，竟然搞起敢死队的工作——在英语老师的眼皮子底下看漫画书，晕。更为巧合的是――竟然都是坐在一排的人！怀疑是不是串通好了的呢。

敢死队员1号：小心翼翼型

这位队员一边看着书，一边虎视耽耽地望着老师。瞧，他刚翻一页，就抬头看看老师，接着又翻一页，然后有抬头望望老师，这样重复循环，真不知道他把内容看进去没有。看见老师的目光没有扫向他，他赶紧抓住机会连翻几页，然后突然抬头，盯着老师。

敢死队员2号：动作怪怪型

这位队员可有点怪了，看着书，一会儿掏掏鼻子，一会儿打打哈欠，一会儿摸摸耳朵，一副惟恐天下不乱的样子，好像不让老师发现他的举动就不甘心似的，真是个怪人。

敢死队员3、4号：谈天说地型

这两位同学有些不把老师放在眼里了，边看书边聊天。我隐隐约约听见他们说冒险岛OL，说漫画内容，说小说，说娱乐咨询，就连老师和同学的目光扫向他们，也无济于事。

敢死队员5号：边学边看型

这位同学好像有些明白学习的重要性，看了几分钟的书，马上立起来听老师的讲课。课上一半时，老师为了扫查班上的敢死队，把同学们一个叫起一个问问题。这下可让这群敢死队员们开始惶恐不安了，他们连书都顾不着看呢。而这位队员呢，看一会儿就学学，这一招算是对他的MISS了。

敢死队员6号：理直气壮型

这位同学可是班上的霸王级分子了（注：别乱想，不是我啊），他可是一人之下，几十人之上，谁敢对他不敬，他的落雷马上就落在你头上了，（注：我已经欠了他3顿打了，要不是我能帮他弄电脑作业，我早就魂飞天了）因此每人敢告发他。不知是她的好运还是老师放水，他这样看了一堂课，竟然都没半点被批评，真太不公平了！！

谁知道，老师从天而降，为了抓住敢死分子，居然来个背后突袭，到所有座位后边地毯式搜索。5名敢死队员唰地一声，在同一时间内放下书，装起乖乖。只有敢死队员6号稳如泰山，而老师的目光明明瞄准了他，可老师却好像在放水一样，竟纵容他在自己眼皮子底下活动，真气死人了！而其他5位的敢死队员便无机可乘，只好乖乖停课，唯独6号占了便宜。

九九重阳，因为与“久久”同音，九在数字中又是最大数，有长久长寿的含意。年，我国把每年的九月九日定为老人节，传统与现代巧妙地结合，成为尊老、敬老、爱老、助老的老年人的节日。

今年的重阳节即将来临。对于你来说，重阳节计划怎么过呢?如果你是年轻人，重阳节这天你可能是送给了爸爸妈妈一份礼物，或者带他们出门旅游，放松心情;或者给家里打了一个的电话，让温馨的问候，成为暖心的礼物。如果你是老人，可能受到了一些组织的慰问，或者被邀请去参加活动。然后节日结束了，但是大家千万不要像没事人一样该怎么过就怎么过，一定还要继续尊敬老人，爱护老人、关心老人。

国家把重阳节这一天规定为敬老节，目的是用这种开展活动的方式来让人们树立尊老敬老的意识。国家设立一个社会普遍接受的节日，重要的目的在于提醒全社会对于某件事情的关注，而不是这件事情只有到了节日才想起来做。

任何一个希望能够获得效果的活动都要维持足够长的时间才能显示出它的意义来。

其实，老人们要求很简单，公园散步的陪伴、周末回家的晚餐、电话的问候，都能让他们感到无比的满足与幸福。

孝敬老人不仅仅要在重阳节这天，而且要时常提醒自己，平时对老人关心得够不够。又是一年重阳节，从现在开始就让我们更多地去关爱老人吧，那才是有意义的重阳节。

In ancient times， people called the six Yin number， nine known as Yang number。 September 9 this day， two together called "Double Ninth Festival"， the day also called "festival for the elderly"， is our country a long history of the festival。

After this afternoon， I and my classmates are on duty， 43 bus ride home。 The car is very crowded， I can not easily find a seat， a bottom seat， you can have a good rest for a while。

However， the car just after a stop， there is a old man on the train， he probably slightly hunched， over sixty。 I immediately thought to give seats to the old， but thought， he managed to sit down， let the pity。

Although I lost a seat for me to rest， but I got the words of praise and happy mood， which is how happy ah!

在古代，人们把六称为阴数，九称为阳数。九月九这一天，两阳相聚称之为“重阳”，这一天又叫做“老人节”，是我国一个历史悠久的节日。

今天下午，值勤过后，我就和同学一起坐43路车回家。车上很挤，我好不容易才找到一个座位，就一屁股坐下了，可以好好的休息一会了。

可是，车刚过了一站地，有一位老爷爷上车了，他微微驼背，大概六十多岁的 样子。我马上就想到了要给老人让座，但又转念一想，自己好不容易才坐下，让了怪可惜的。

怎么办啊?到底是 让还是不让?我想，身为一个少先队员，如果我不让的话，那又怎么对得起我胸前的红领巾呢?不能再想了，我一定要让。于是，我站起来，说：“爷爷，您来坐吧!”只见爷爷笑了笑，然后慢慢地坐下，并对我说：“真是好孩子!”我听了以后，心里也乐了，因为我做到了。

虽然我失去了一个供我休息的座位，但是，我却得到了表扬的话语和愉快的心情，这是多么快乐呀!

尊老爱幼是我们中华民族的传统美德，我们一定要让这种精神继续发扬光大!

Although the winter holiday is very short, but we cant play because of the

winter vacation short and follow ones inclinations, should be playing at the

same time not forget to study combining exertion and rest.

Gorky once said that "books are the ladder of human progress" in peacetime

because learning busy and have no spare time to read reference books. Winter

holiday is coming now, we just can use the time to read reference books.

"Has its own gold room in the book, the book has its own treasure to", so I

decided to use this holiday season more than look at the name of the ancient and

modern, Chinese and foreign. Not only that I also want to consolidate the

knowledge of this semester, prepare the knowledge of the next semester. I hope

next semester moved on. Learning to lay a foundation for the next semester.

relatives.

After the Spring Festival to loose heart a accept, to start put your heart

in learning, the work can not continue to play. To the teacher and the school

the assignment check check is done. Again next semester need to information and

exercises will be ready.

This is my winter holiday life, my winter vacation I make decision.

During the winter vacation, nothing is different for my life. I wake up 11

o’clock Am everyday, after a washing, I have a good lunch with my parents. Next

I play computer games till the time to have supper. After have dinner. I go on

playing till 2 o’clock Am, and then go to sleep with tired. This is one dull day

of my winter vacation.But I haven’t bored all the time. Sometimes I read the

books, sometime I listen to the music or the radio in the bed，because it was

very cold outside and snowy all the day. And I also meat some of my good friends

during the vacation ,we have a very long talk about the life of each other in

the past year and play table tennis tegether .And I watched the spring festival

party of the CCTV in the last seconds of the 2004 year! I think this is the

thing most people of china doing at that time.that’s all, all my dull, coldly

and snowy winter vacation.

Although the winter vacation, I will continue my learning, in the morning,

is a good time to read, with the early morning, our family to read with relish,

three people has become a bookworm. Dad read the literary works such as crazy,

my mother read prose leisurely affectionate, for me, I read catchy childrens

poetry. A book, lets open horizon, increase knowledge. Reading good books is

like and wise in the communication, the author of often we read happy place,

could not help but laugh; Read moving place, can flow was moved to tears... . A

good book, often make us forget all about eating and sleeping, really achieve

"reading a good book, three days and I do not know meat".

Winter vacation, there is a Spring Festival, this is my most happy moment.

The New Year, my father came back from the street to buy a dozen small red

lanterns, and string them into 2 series, dad smiled and said: "the twelve red

lanterns indicates our whole family, in the New Year, twelve months are

prosperous". Mother, busy preparing for dinner, but rich, seafood, vegetables,

beef, little of course not a fish, in the traditional Chinese Spring Festival,

eat fish means "more than" year after year, good luck. I have not been idle, and

come back to the supermarket to buy necessities such as orange juice and

beer.

Winter vacation, I could have just like all the children have a blast, but

my eyesight is bad, only looking at the computer to buy, occasionally WangSha

several renju experience, very good!

Happy and short winter vacation life, really want to keep the pace of time,

has been living in the winter vacation.

During the winter vacation, nothing is different for my life. I wake up 11

oclock Am everyday, after a washing, I have a good lunch with my parents. Next

I play computer games till the time to have supper. After have dinner. I go on

playing till 2 oclock Am, and then go to sleep with tired. This is one dull day

of my winter vacation.

But I havent bored all the time. Sometimes I read the books, sometime I

listen to the music or the radio in the bed, because it was very cold outside

and snowy all the day. And I also meat some of my good friends during the

vacation, we have a very long talk about the life of each other in the past year

and play table tennis tegether. And I watched the spring festival party of the

CCTV in the last seconds of the 2004 year! I think this is the thing most people

of china doing at that time.

Thats all, all my dull, coldly and snowy winter vacation.

The first thing I did was I made a plan for my study. I assigned my

homework equally according to the holidays so that I can finish all of them in

time. And during my winter vacation, we welcome the most important festival in

China—Spring Festival, it’s also called Chinese New Year by lots of

foreigners.

At that night, our family came together and had a big meal. Of course we

had dumplings that night, because that is our Chinese traditional. We then watch

the CCTV spring festival evening party together and watch the beautiful

fireworks. That’s the happiest time in this world! The winter vacation I had

dreamed all year around was finally coming. And I really enjoyed a lot from

it.

The first thing I did was I made a plan for my study. I assigned my

homework equally according to the holidays so that I can finish all of them in

time. I also arranged myself the books and words I need to read and recite.

Secondly, I took some extracurricular activities and read some English original

reading. My favorite book is , written by Sherlock Holmes. Among all the

classical movies, the Sound of Music was the most exciting one. During my

holidays I also made some assistance for my physical class teacher, surely I met

lots of difficulties in this stage and from which I knew what perseverance

really was. Lastly, I went to the temple fair and was lucky to taste several

Chinese traditional dishes; “Jiaohua chicken” is one of them. It is said it

originated from Hangzhou centuries ago, made by a famous beggar Hong Qi Gong,

the senior leader of Beggar Gang.Steamed with fresh lotus leaf wrapped up,it is

famous for its special aroma and taste. Now that the holiday is ending and a new

semester is coming, I need to fresh up and get started to embrace the upcoming

challenges.

Taking exercise is good for our health. All work and no play makes Jack a

dull boy. By taking exercise, we can relax our body and mind. At the same time,

we can harden our muscle and have a good figure. If we dont take exercise for a

long time, we may easily fall sick.

I enjoy several outdoor sports. Swimming in the sea is my favorite. Because

there are too many people in a swimming pool and the water is always dirty, I

prefer to swim in the sea.

Playing badminton is also fun. I can always find a place in the park for

playing badminton. Besides, I enjoy jogging in the morning. Sometimes, I jog

with my parents in the park.

It is neither genius nor extraordinary ability that gives us power to deal

with and overcome whatever hardship one is confronted with.2、As in the picture,

the athlete is running, with a determined spirit, towards the finishing line in

order to obtain the gold medal, considered as the symbol of success for any

sportsman.I most like the human is Liu Xiang 。 the famous athlete Liu Xiang

striding forward in the Olympics Games in Athens. Determination is universally

regarded asa highly praised quality. It is neither genius nor extraordinary

ability that gives us power to deal with and overcome whatever hardship one is

confronted with. It is this kind of spirit that enables us to endure the

difficult moments and attain our goals.

The determined spirit gives us light when we are in dark moments and

encourages when we are frustrated. With this quality, no enemy can overwhelm us,

and noobstacles can stand in our way. There are many examples of success being

achieved solely through the strong will of the spirit. As in the picture, the

athlete is running, with a determined spirit, towards the finishing line in

order to obtain the gold medal, considered as the symbol of success for any

sportsman. It is determination that leads to success. ?

It is not easy to cultivate this determined spirit. To do this, we must

establish a firm faith in our actions and be ready to devote ourselves to them.

We must boldly go through trials and hardships to train our will so as to get

rid of the weak points of our moral character. Around us, there are quite a few

people with this intense determination and spirit and set a good example for us

to follow.

Sports benefit me in many ways. Firstly, sports call can make me fit and

strong physically. When taking part in sports, I get the chance to train almost

all parts of our bodies. In addition, sports call can maintain my psychological

well being, Whenever Im in low spirit,aking part in sports can help me forget my

anxieties and worries. Besides, sports can teach me some lessons about life.

Through participation, I can learn that on the playground I not only struggle

for my own self but also fight for my team. Sports teach me to be considerate,

cooperative and optimistic.

I am fond of sports very much. I feel that I not only gain a well balanced

life through going in for sports, but also get more chances to make more

friends, to move closer to nature. Sports add happiness to my everyday life when

I participate in them in a proper way.

My favourite sport is football, as it is very exciting. I play footetball

three times a week. Most often I play it in my school. I feel very happy when I

play football in school with my friends. Sometimes I play football in the

playground near my school.Football is very easy to play. If you play football

very well, you can form a football team to take part in the competition. You may

become a famous football star.

Therefore, football is a very good sport. I think, you can play football,

cant you?

People are enjoying the comfortable life of the modern civilization,

meanwhile, they are also experiencing more and more competitions and suffering

much more stress than before.With the tremendous rhythm of living imposed by

todays world, it isnt unusual for people to feel tired and to try to evade from

the daily problems and stress. I think that there is no magic way that is

appliable to every one of us, and proves itself the most efficient method of

escaping stress. Each man has his specific activities that help him regain the

joy of life. For me the best activities to reduce stress and to forget about

problems are sleeping,playing football, going on a short vacation to the

countryside, attending live performances and spending time with my friends and

with my family.

First and foremost, sufficient sleep, needless to say, is indispensable for

each person, especially those encountering difficulties and suffering enormous

stress. There is no denying that sleep could bring the body sufficient rest,

modulate the function of each organ and release the body from stressful status.

Whats more, sufficient sleep would enable the brain operate more swiftly and

efficiently, thus making us more energetic to handle difficulties. Therefore,

not only could sleep loose the fatigue of the physical body, but also release

the mental stress.

What is more, I think that family is the most important thing in a mans

life. They are always there when you need them. Family provides support when you

need it most, helps you go through the difficult moments of your life.The most

important of all, their love for you gives you confidence in yourself, and makes

your life easier and a lot more beautiful. Friends also have an important role,

because you can evade from concerns by going out with them, talking about things

that are not related to your work, and sharing with them your problems and your

acheivements.

To err is human and to forgive divine, according to the old adage, but

humans who forgive are known to experience significant physical and mental

health benefits from doing so.

Now researchers report that these beneficial health effects appear to vary

by age, along with the willingness to forgive others, the willingness to forgive

oneself. "Taken together, our findings emphasize that forgiveness is a

multidimensional phenomenon," write study lead author Dr. Loren L. Toussaint of

the University of Michigan and colleagues. "There are age differences in some

forms of forgiveness and in their relationship to health."

Their conclusions are based on survey responses from more than 1,400 adults

during a 5-month study period.

In general, young adults (18-44 years) reported that they were less likely

to forgiveothers than middle-aged (45-64) and older adults (65 and older).

Among survey participants of all ages, however, reports of forgiveness of

themselves and others were associated with decreased psychological distress,

including feelings of restlessness, hopelessness and nervousness.

Further, young adults who reported high levels of self-forgiveness were

more likely to be satisfied with their lives, whereas middle age and older

adults who reported high levels of forgiveness of others were more likely to

report increased lifesatisfaction.

In other findings, attendance at religious services was associated with

decreased psychological distress, particularly among young and middle-aged

adults, and increased life satisfaction among young and old adults. Service

attendance was also associated with higher self-rated health among all age

groups.
