I always dream about returning to the past. As many people say, childhood is the happiest and easiest time in one’s life.

Children show you their true emotions. They know what is compassion and what is tolerance better than adults. In their world, all real thoughts are presented. They may easily have different opinions with others, but they never understand what is animosity. They enjoy making friends but they never think about making social communication net. Every child talks from the bottom of his heart without evil plans hidden and never intrigues against each other. Only in children’s way can adults make our life simple, more real and more enjoyable.

I wish everyone’s heart would keep as innocent and lovely as they ever did in their childhood. Then, the walls between our hearts can be broken down and the world would be a better place to live in.

今天，天气转凉，大家都披上了大衣，来到了美丽的校园，小鸟似乎变少了，小草开始掉发了，大叔开始掉牙了，这意味着一年即将过去了，一眨眼十月已经过半，一年还有最后的三分之一，一天跟光速一般，在这光是的日子里发生了许多有趣的事情，在中学的每一节可我都听得非常认真听从老师指挥和安排，也在每一节课里紧紧抓住每一个知识点，虽然上课很死板，但有几堂课却让我记忆犹新，比如今天的英语课……

“叮铃铃”上课铃响了，我静静的坐在位子上等待老师上课，在我看来英语课有时有趣，有时却非常无聊，而今天这堂英语课让我改变了对它的看法，我相信这样有趣的课堂老师也一定发了不少心思来准备这堂课，在上课时老师突然给我们来了个对抗游戏，男生VS女生哪一方选手问题回答的多，那方就获胜。

比赛开始了，男生，女生都不甘示弱，勇于站起来回答问题，外面狂风大作，里面却是这番热闹的情景，一分钟过去了，二分钟过去了，三分钟过去了男生和女生之间出现了距离，眼看第一大题就要结束，我们男生非常着急，想挽回局面，正当我们要开始翻盘时，第一大题居然就这然结束了，不过还好，还有第二大题，谁赢谁输还不一定呢？第二大局开始了，经过一番调整的我们，又开始追逐了紧张又激烈的气氛依旧未停，男生们依然努力的追赶着分数，能追一分是一分，女生好像有点骄傲了，回答的人越来越少，我们分数渐渐多了起来，直到最后一题是我们只差女生两分了，当我们认为胜负已定时，老师突然说最后一题回答对加两分，这是我们脸上又有了笑容，因为班长把自己的手举得高高的，他是我们最后的一线希望了，你是男生唯一的靠山了，当老师在黑板上花了两个大星星后就意味着我们的努力没有白费，我们终于胜利了！

今天的这节有趣的英语课给我们打来了许多欢乐和笑声！

我在寒假里度过了一个快乐的春节，寒假里的一件事。

大年三十的早上，我起得比较晚，什么也没干，中午直接在外婆家吃午饭。下午回到家，奶奶和妈妈都在厨房里忙着为过春节准备丰盛的晚餐，爸爸在外面贴春联，而我则在一旁上网。

吃晚饭了，哇!好丰盛的菜啊!有鱼、有螃蟹、还有甲鱼，爸爸说，烧鱼是为了图个吉利，因为“年年有鱼(余)”，之后，我又看见鱼中还有一些白白的东西，问：“这是什么?”妈妈说：“这是年糕，年糕搭配鱼就是“年年有余””我们一家人坐在一起，边吃饭边聊天，还看看电视。

不一会儿，吃完了饭，我们就一起坐在沙发上，看春节联会晚会，晚会的节目有很多种类，有相声、小品、唱歌、舞蹈、魔术，最精彩的就是魔术了。

去年春晚，捧红了一位魔术大师：刘谦。今年春晚，刘谦又上台来为大家表演魔术了!这一次他表演3个魔术，他是先以一个将一杯果汁变没的魔术开头，之后他拿出了一副扑克，让主持人董卿洗过牌后在十秒中之内将扑克分成了十份，并且第一份有一张牌，第二份有两张牌，第三份有三张牌……第十份有十张牌!全场都沸腾了。不过最精彩的是最后一个魔术，刘谦先让旁边的一个人拿了几枚硬币，平举在一张有机玻璃桌下面，之后，刘谦说出了他的经典台词：“接下来，就是见证奇迹的时候。”然后他就在全中国人民的眼前，把手穿过了这张透明的有机玻璃，还把下面的硬币给拿了上来!

不知不觉，就到了晚上十二点了，在倒计时时，爸爸也打响了一挂鞭炮，说是开财门。

在大年初一到初七的期间，我过得很快乐，每天都去亲戚家玩。

今年的春节我过的真快乐啊!

The Spring Festival is the largest traditional festival in China, and the couplet is particularly important for the Spring Festival. Therefore, the couplet is the most important part of the couplet, and there is the following story.

In the year thirty, every household is busy, and my home is no exception.

After the 16th day, Spring Festival is over, people began to busy life.

我的家乡有许多传统的节日，最有趣的就是春节。

按照家乡的习俗,春节从腊月二十三就开始了。腊月二十三被家乡人称为小年，这天，人们就开始打扫卫生，把房间的里里外外都打扫得干干净净，还要杀羊杀猪用来祭灶。从这天起，人们就开始办年货了：买对联、买糖果......有些人家还要炸油果子。

到了除夕就更热闹了，家家都在包饺子，到处都是酒肉的香味。男女老少都穿上了漂亮的新衣服，门上都贴上了红红的对联。这一天，出门在外的人都要赶回家团员。到了晚上，鞭炮声彻夜不绝，人们还要看春节联欢晚会，吃年夜饭。

从大年初一到初十，是人们走亲访友的好日子。人们都要相互拜年，祝福亲朋好友来年快乐平安。家里来了客人，大人们都要拿出好吃的东西来接待客人，小孩子们也很开心，因为他们可以收到压岁钱。

到了元宵节的时候，处处张灯结彩，整条大街灯火通明，有鱼灯、有福娃灯、有火箭灯......。人们都从四面八方来涌来,围到广场上看烟花，各种各样的烟花将夜空装扮的更加绚丽多彩。

过了正月十六，春节就结束了，人们又开始了忙碌的生活。

我的英语老师名叫朱祥慧。听这名字,以为是女的,其实是男的。朱老师长得丑,而且不是一般的丑。俗话说得好:人不可貌相,海水不可斗量。我们以貌取人就大错特错了。他虽然丑,但是英语过了八级呢!厉害吧!

更厉害的还是上他的课呢。他的课,每一节都不同寻常。特别是班上那些调皮捣蛋的学生,简直就是小心翼翼、提心吊胆了。对他们来说,上英语课,应该如同下地狱一般痛苦吧。为什么呢?因为一不小心就有“坠入深谷的危险”——接受“严刑拷打”的考验。“拷打”的过程中,班里有些女生就拍手叫好。用英语老师的话来说,那就是:“上英语课有仇的报仇,有冤的申冤。如果这些男生一而再、再而三地欺负女生,找我就可以了!”这一番话可是说到女生的心窝子里了。

我最佩服英语老师的“双棍打”。左右手都得打,经过老师的一阵“狂打”,你的手非得疼上半节课。其次就是“蹲板凳”——把凳子抽出来,然后你坐在空气中,姿势还必须就像坐在板凳上的一样。20分钟下来,你就挥汗如雨了!这两招还都不算狠,最狠的一招是“笑脸”。英语老师会拍着你的肩膀,笑着对你说一番话,这时,他就会露出那一口不齐整的大牙,令你“毛骨悚然”。

当然也有女生挨揍的时候。前两招我就都领教过,第三招还没“享受”过,我现在是没有那个“荣幸”了。所以,我觉得一句话非常适合形容英语课,那就是:不经历风雨,怎能见彩虹。

“严师出高徒”,我们班的英语成绩就不用说了,每次考试都稳拿第一。英语老师常常用武力,我们班同学居然都喜欢他,在学校组织的“最受欢迎的老师”的评选中,英语老师竟然位居榜首。

我喜欢我的英语老师，你们呢?
