介绍七夕的英语作文

The Double Seventh Festival on the 7th day of the 7th lunarmonth is a traditional festival full of romance. It often goes into August in the Gregorian calendar.

This festival is in mid-summer when the weather is warm and the grass and trees reveal their luxuriousgreens. At night when the sky is dotted with stars and people can see the Milky Way spanning from the north to the south. On each bank of it is a bright star which see each other from afar. They are the Cowherd and Weaver Maid and about them there is a beautiful love story passed down from generation to generation.

Long long ago there was an honest and kind-hearted fellow named Niu Lang (Cowhand). His parents died when he was a child. Later he was driven out of his home by his sister-in-law. So he lived by himself herding cattle and farming. One day a fairy from heaven Zhi Nu (Weaver Maid) fell in love with him and came down secretly to earth and married him. The cowhandfarmed in the field and the Weaver Maid wove at home. They lived a happy life and gave birth to a boy and a girl. Unfortunately the God of Heaven soon found out the fact and ordered the Queen Mother of the Western Heavens to bring the Weaver Maid back.

With the help of celestial cattle the Cowhand flew to heaven with his son and daughter. At the time when he was about to catch up with his wife the Queen Mother took off one of her gold hairpins and made a stroke. One billowyriver appeared in front of the Cowhand. The Cowhand and Weaver Maid were separated on the two banks forever and could only feel their tears. Their loyaltyto love touched magpies so tens of thousands of magpies came to build a bridge for the Cowhand and Weaver Maid to meet each other. The Queen Mother was eventually moved and allowed them to meet each year on the 7th of the 7th lunar month. Hence their meeting date has been called "Qi Xi" (Double Seventh).

Scholars have shown the Double Seventh Festival originated from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD220). Historical documents from the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD371-420) mention the festival while records from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) depict the grand evening banquetof Emperor Taizong and his concubines. By the Song (960-1279) and Yuan (1279-1368) dynasties special articles for the "Qi Xi" were seen being sold on markets in the capital. The bustling markets demonstrated the significance of the festival.

Today some traditional customs are still observed in ruralareas of China but have been weakened or diluted in urban cities. However the legend of the Cowhand and Weaver Maidhas taken root in the hearts of the people. In recent years in particular urban youths have celebrated it as Valentines Day in China. As a result owners of flower shops bars and stores are full of joy as they sell more commodities for love.

Last qingming Festival,i return home to worship my grandfather.qingming Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,In the past, the qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But Today, Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush that has grown. Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a familys home altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food. One theory is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area, the less appealing food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers.

With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the honor past ancestors. Following folk religion, the Chinese believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and spirit money could keep them happy, and the family would prosper through good harvests and more children.

可爱的你,带给我温暖。

——题记

刚来这个班时,我第一个遇见的是你,我因为不会叠被子,而你却在寝室里像妈妈一样的帮助我,那时,我就有点喜欢你了。

当你让我当你的英语课代表时,我就毫不犹豫的答应了。因为你不仅年轻,长得也很清纯,并且还有一颗少女心。

可惜,时间长后,我发现我厌恶你了。

教学方式不好,单词好写错,知识点没讲全,我感觉我的英语快要死了,每天都和一些成绩好的同学们在背后说你的不好,真是越想越烦,可惜没人敢对你说你的不好,我们大家都很纠结。看着你脸上的微笑,我不禁有点觉得虚伪,心里也在郁闷的滴血。

直到有一天,你喊我出去谈话,心平气和的跟我说:我是不是讲的不好啊,同学们好像不喜欢我,我们俩好像也不像以前那莫默契了。我才终于把我想说的话终于说了个遍,老师和我聊了许久,我感觉心暖暖的,原来老师也在纠结这个问题,可是每天还装着心情很好来上课,不想打扰大家的情绪。老师原来也会换位思考,身为权威的老师,却向我请教,这要有多大的勇气啊。我的脑海突然想到老师认真起来得模样,想起她的书上全是密密麻麻的笔记。

直到现在,我已经爱上你了。喜欢你上课时轻松的气氛,不像语文老师的迅速激昂;数学老师的严肃安静;物理老师的紧张费神。而是轻松愉快。喜欢你甜美的声音,让人专注;喜欢你可爱的模样,让人发笑;喜欢你认真的态度,让人钦佩。

我有时都搞不懂你,每天下三你都会准时来到,一坐坐一节课,即使整节课没一人写英语作业,你也会想办法挤点时间让大家学英语,教育差生,或者说默默坐在椅子上改听写。你很乐观,即使我们班英语不是很好,你也总是失落会就会满血复活。你很年轻,所以你课后总会和我们打成一片,很懂我们的心思,同学们也会把心里真实的想法告诉你,而不告诉别的老师。你很努力,即使独自一人站三节课,嘴里也在抱怨很累,但精神总是那么饱满,仍拼命地站着,讲着。你有点傻,当班主任把体育老师的课给你时,你总会把可爱的笑容露出来,说什么班主任很贴心,难道多给你奖钱吗?你上了那么多节不累吗?你不想休息吗?你不怕同学们埋怨你吗?你就是这么傻,愿意奉献自己。

可爱的你,给了我很多机会,让我能够好好学习英语;每天都不厌其烦的指点我,开导我,在我危难时,也会伸出援助之手,你很信任我,所以我不会让你失望。

可爱的你,请一直微笑,因为我会和你在一起。谢谢你,谢谢你带给我可爱的温暖。

长城The Great Wall

What impresses me most in Beijing is the Great Wall which is one of the greatest projects in the world. Its not only the cultural heritage, but also a symbol of China. "Its glorious." I think. It looks like a big dragon running across the mountainous area. It starts Shanhaiguan in the east to Jiayuguan in the west. Its so long that nobody can walk from the beginning to the end.

在北京给我印象最深的是长城,是世界上最大的项目之一。它不仅是文化遗产,也是中国的象征。”我觉得“它很辉煌"。它就像一条巨龙穿越山区。从东面的山海关开始一直延伸到西边的嘉峪关。太长了以至于没有人能从走到尾。

It was firstly built in Qin Dynasty and prolonged in Ming and Qing dynasties. It was used to protect the enemies from invading in the past, but now it has become the place of interest which attracts so many tourists both at home and abroad.

它始建于秦朝,一直延期到明清时期。在过去它是用来防止敌人的入侵,但现在它已成为名胜古迹,吸引了很多国内外游客。

When I was standing on the top of the Great Wall, I felt as if I were in ancient days. I could see many laborers working very hard. How could they finish this extremely difficult task by hand?

当我站在长城上时,我感觉我像是在古代一样。我可以看到很多劳动者努力工作。他们怎么能用手工完成这个艰巨的任务?

篇20:介绍清明节英语作文

全文共 2135 字

The qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in China, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will rise up and rainfall increases. It is the high time for spring plowing and sowing. But the qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.

The qingming Festival sees a combination of sadness and happiness.

This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and sweep the tombs of the diseased. Also, they will not cook on this day and only cold food is served.

The Hanshi (Cold Food) Festival was usually one day before the qingming Festival. As our ancestors often extended the day to the qingming, they were later combined.

On each qingming Festival, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. Traffic on the way to the cemeteries becomes extremely jammed. The customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs, people offer food, flowers and favorites of the dead, then burn incense and paper money and bow before the memorial tablet.

In contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers, people also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. The qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times, people have followed the custom of Spring outings. At this time tourists are everywhere.

People love to fly kites during the qingming Festival. Kite flying is actually not limited to the qingming Festival. Its uniqueness lies in that people fly kites not during the day, but also at night. A string of little lanterns tied onto the kite or the thread look like shining stars, and therefore, are called "gods lanterns."

The qingming Festival is also a time to plant trees, for the survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast later. In the past, the qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But since 1979, "Arbor Day" was settled as March 12 according to the Gregorian calendar.
