童年是一颗糖，它是甜的，在童年的时间里我们有着无限的乐趣。

童年，它给了我们许多许多?

他是我们生命的开启者，我们生下来就享受着童年的快乐;他是我们理想的哺育者，在童年期间我们畅想了自己的未来，制定了自己前途的计划?

现在，离我出生已有13年了，它伴随着13年的时光中匆匆而过，以前的他现在友好似一个过客，急忙的和我擦肩而过。而接面迎来的是青春期，他带着叛逆和一些他的朋友过来了。

童年就这样的永远的过去了，他永远也不会回来了。

时间匆匆而过，他在路途中并不孤独，因为他把我快乐的童年一起带走了，而只把童年的记忆抛给了我，留我一个人在那里守候着!

我喜欢祥和的端午节，还喜欢圆满的中秋节，但我最喜欢的是吉祥如意的春节。

春节是我们中国人过得最隆重，最热闹的传统节日。每逢春节，家家户户都张灯结彩，贴上了红红的春联，寓意着人们对新年的美好愿望。妈妈和奶奶采购了许许多多的年货，我们穿上新衣服，迎接新年的到来。在外的家人，只要到了春节，人人必定赶回家来，与家人团聚在一起，吃上一顿丰盛的年 夜 饭，津津有味地品尝美味佳肴，享受着团圆的温暖，把自己这一年来的收获和幸福讲给自己的亲人，并送上对家人新年的祝福。

吃完年夜饭，“噼哩啪啦”的炮竹声，五彩缤纷的烟花在夜空中涌现，处处可以感受到热闹与喜庆。家人可以围坐在火炉旁，一边吃着零食，一边观看一年一度丰富多彩的春节晚会。到了十二点，新年的钟声敲响，我们一起大声地倒数时针：“4、3、2、1”，新的一年到来啦!我拉着表弟依次给长辈们拜年。他们笑呵呵地给我们发压岁钱。这是我们小孩子最开心的时候，我们开心地拿上压岁钱开始守岁。我们在院子里放炮竹，开心极了!

欢声辞旧岁，笑语迎新年，新的一年承载着我们新的梦想!过春节真好，我喜欢这一圣大的节日——春节。

你知道最让我头痛的科目是什么呢?猜一猜，是语文!这语文可把我搞得紧绷绷的，我是经典的拼音盲和生字盲，加了英语后我对拼音更糊涂了。

从二年级开始我对语文就有了反感，妈妈从三年级开始密切关注我语文成绩。从此语文便成了我小学生涯的一块拦路石，号称“攻无不克，战无不胜”，我屡战屡败，一战未胜，最好的战绩竟是在一年级。

对待语文我可以说是绞尽脑汁，终于在四年级将语文拿下了96分，这让我异常高兴!但语文又立刻“反攻”，这让我十分无语，它让我想起了我游戏上一场艰难的战争，我就是上面的“主攻者”，语文是另一方，每次我要成功时，它就召集“无敌军”，打不死，却伤害高，害我每次以失败告终。

这次人家又把题目改了模样，离谱得可怕极了，五年级天也不助我，语文老师换成了一个刚毕业的老师，她只会布置作业，这让给我对语文完全失去了信心。

有了这个语文老师后开学对我们来说就是换个地方写作业!每天看见语文老师时她都会身穿作业三件套，左手一把拼音AWM，右手一把生字大菠萝，还背着易错题平底锅，我只有铅笔散弹枪，消字带手枪每次我都被打得“满地找牙”，毫无胜算。

而且重点是它十分拉分，一拉十几分，加上粗心扣的分拿下80分都难。

现在我对语文有了很深的认识，语文花样太多，不容易得分，却十分重要。

哎，语文呀!语文!你有多难!

I have a lovely little dog named Dion. He looks pretty with short legs, big ears and short tail. He is my good friend and he is also easy to take care of. I walk him at least twice a day, feed him and spend time with him. He also gives his love to me in return. He is always there to lick me and lie on me. I like playing with him. I think he can tell when I am happy, sad, angry or touble. Sometimes he can be noisy and run around the room.

In a word, he is not only my dog, but also my friend.

我有一个可爱的小狗戴恩命名。他看起来很短的腿，大耳朵和短尾巴。他是我的好朋友，他也很容易照顾。我送他一天至少两次，喂他，和他在一起。他也给了他对我的爱的回报。他总是在那里舔我躺在我。我喜欢和他玩。我认为他能告诉我开心时，悲伤，生气或烦恼。有时他会吵和运行在房间里。

总之，他不仅是我的狗，而且是我的朋友。

[动物园的三年级英语作文带翻译

变化多端的自然界孕育了许多令人意想不到的小动物。他们聪明、机灵、活泼、勇敢，都以自己不同的方式在大自然中找到了生存之道。然而，鸟这种通人性的动物，却是人类的好朋友。

在我家有着一只小鸟，那是妈妈在我一年级考试后，给我的学习奖励。它灰色的羽毛中夹杂着一些黑色的羽毛，一张淡黄色的小尖嘴，时不时还会张开练一练嗓音。一双黑黝黝的小眼睛，总是不停地东张西望，似乎在观赏周围的美景。因为他平时会学我说话，而且说话的声音都很搞笑，所以我给他取了一个有趣的名字——“逗逗”。

逗逗刚来我家时，总是不停地从鸟笼的细铁棍上跳来跳去，一副很害怕的样子，似乎对他新家的环境感到很陌生。有时，我背着书包放学回来，它一见到我，就发出一种尖锐的叫声，好像在说：“这里是哪里?你这个庞然大物想对我做什么?可千万别伤害我呀!”

为了让逗逗适应新家的环境，再见到我时不再害怕，我决定用一天的时间来和逗逗好好相处一下。这天，我早早地就和妈妈一起起床了，此时此刻的逗逗还做着美梦，显得无比安分。我蹑手蹑脚地拿着一杯小虫子走近它，把它那已经吃完的食物补充好。过了半个多小时后，在沉睡中的逗逗苏醒过来了。它一见到我，先是惊奇地看了看杯子里的虫子，然后向后退了几步，用一副惊恐的表情望着我，不时还发出一阵阵“叽叽喳喳”的叫声。我见逗逗这样，便走上前去对它说：“逗逗，你别害怕，我只是看你待在我家心情不好，想让你别害怕我，和我做个朋友，好吗?”

逗逗似乎听懂了我的话，但还是有点半信半疑，不过它朝前走了几步，冲着我叫了几声，不停地拍打着翅膀，好像在对我说：“你真只是想和我做朋友吗?”我上前去轻轻地抚摸了它几下，并用温柔的目光看着它。刚摸它的时候，它还有一些畏惧，后来看见我并没有伤害它，逗逗便用它那淡黄色的小尖嘴儿碰了碰我的手指。表示认可了我之后，它竟然学着别人说：“你好!你好!”以此来表示对我的感谢，这使我很开心。

动物们也是需要我们来爱护的，只要我们关爱它们，就会获得它们的认可，从而和它们成为好朋友。要知道，我们可是共同生存在这美丽的大自然之中的。

The saying that practice makes perfect means that after you have plenty of practice in what you are doing, you will be perfect in it. He who practices a lot will master the skill more quickly than he who seldom or hardly practices.

For example, when we learn English, we have to learn grammar, words, expressions and so on. The most important thing may be how to put what we have learned into practice. If you only learn the grammar rules by heart and dont do enough exercises, it is certain that you cant understand them perfectly. But if you practice a lot, maybe you will understand them more deeply and you can find some good methods of applying them. Memorizing English words whenever time permits,we can easily memorize them and can even find a way to memorize them more quickly.

There is another example. A famous singer can sing very welt. Of course, his talent is very important, but practice is necessary. It is necessary to practice to make the singer sing better and better.

It is evident that practice is important for everybody. If you want to improve your study and work, you should remember that practice makes perfect.

Every Tuesday and Friday evening sees Miss Li，my neighbor and a secretary in a company rush home after a hard day’s work，gulp down her meals and then hurry out to catch the bus for her English class. Miss Li’s case is not unique，and now more and more city adults spend their leisure time trying to improve themselves at school or college.

There are a number of reasons for people to go back for their education. Some people，like Miss Li，are doing it to acquire another degree or diploma to impress the society. To them more knowledge，or rather，more credentials means more opportunities for better jobs and quicker promotion.

Other people，especially those who are laid off or out of employment go to vocational school to prepare to return to the job market. They are eager for new skills so that they can be qualified for the jobs in retail trade，administration，education and other service categories to which they are strange because most of them were blue-collar workers in the factory.

There are also people who come to take such courses as Chinese traditional medicine，painting，calligraphy and photography. As their working weeks decline people begin to have time to fulfill their old dream of their heart’s desire.

Out of necessity or out of interest，people go back to school for the common goal——to improve themselves，and this boom in adult education，in turn，helps to raise the intellectual standard of the whole country.

我家养了一小棵可爱的含羞草。

它慢慢长大变健康了。我观察了它两周，发现它原本只是耷拉着的叶子一天天抬起了头。起初，叶子只微微扬了扬脑袋，但没过多久，叶子熟悉了家里的环境，就顿时有了勇气，把头像士兵一样高高的扬了起来，样子可威风了。

有一天我看见了它挺起脑袋，太兴奋了，就碰了它的叶子一下，它立马像害羞的小姑娘一样缩回了叶子。我赶紧问妈妈：“含羞草是不是生病了?怎么缩起了叶子了呢?”妈妈笑了，说：“它可没生病。只是你一碰它，它的叶子就会缩起来而已。”我明白了。

我又碰了一下含羞草的叶子，开始仔细地观察它，我发现它的叶子缩回得很有规律：从尖到底沿着树枝子，两片两片的一起收的。啊，要是不观察，我可不知道含羞草的叶子这么神奇，收的那么有规律，就像训练有素的士兵一样。

啊，这真是一盆又神奇又值得观察的含羞草呀!

我国的传统节日有很多，如元宵节、端午节、中秋节……当然，最热闹的是春节。

早上，我们早早地起来就闻到了一阵甜甜的香味，我飞快的跑到厨房一看哈!原来是汤圆，我盛了一碗热气腾腾的汤圆，忍不住先尝一口，真是又甜又糯，还滑滑的。叫过大家一起来吃后，我就先津津有味的吃了起来。

吃完早饭，爸爸把我写的春联贴在了门口。后来，我跟着爸爸去买鞭炮。我们满载而归地回家时，妈妈已经把土豆、五花肉、毛豆、蘑菇等一些材料拿了出来。

下午到了，妈妈要做新年里的第一顿晚餐了。首先，妈妈把整只鸡和蘑菇先放入沙锅内炖着;再把别的菜都分类洗好，妈妈就开始切菜烧菜了。先把土豆切成丝、过水;再把锅烧热，放上油，等油热了之后，把土豆丝放入锅里翻炒……时间过得真快，转眼间，晚饭做好了，我们一家人高高兴兴的吃着新年的第一顿晚饭。

饭后，我们听到了一阵阵打雷般的响声，开始放鞭炮了。烟花有的像一朵朵美丽的花儿;有的像一个个正在跳舞的小精灵，给黑暗的天空增加了一丝丝光明;还有的像一只只翩翩起舞的蝴蝶。各种各样的烟花数也数不清，我都看得眼花缭乱了。

过春节可真好啊!

荷包含着许多，荷花、荷叶，“接天莲叶无穷碧，映日荷花别样红。”而雨中荷也是别具风采呢！

瞧！走到乐园内荷塘近处，满池的荷叶绿油油的，远远望去，如同为荷塘遮了一块绿布来挡雨呢！荷叶中，还有一个个粉色的朵儿星罗棋布在荷塘里，那就是荷花了。走近前去，荷更清楚地展现出来，绵绵小雨轻抚着荷塘，塘水漾起了碧波，再瞧瞧荷叶，雨珠在这个舞台上活泼欢快地跳起了舞，在荷叶上弹来弹去，快活极了，雨珠跳累了，只要我把荷叶的一边轻轻一提，雨珠便又把荷叶当一个绿滑梯，又飞快地滑入池塘，与塘水溶为一体了，亭亭玉立的荷花镶嵌在荷叶之间，有的还是个花骨朵儿，头尖尖的，大半个身子都呈粉红色，尾部慢慢渐变成了白色，可爱极了，有的含苞待放，只有一些花瓣张开了笑脸，像个害羞的小姑娘，却也不失风采，还有一些荷花已经全部盛开了，里面的花蕊呈黄色，上面还有几个白色的小点，这些荷花尽情地享受着雨丝的抚摸，再加上晶莹透亮的露珠，更是多姿多彩，这些荷花出淤泥而不染，一阵微风吹过，荷花、荷叶轻轻摇摆，更显得多姿，这风也让塘中几片似小船的花瓣前进了几步。

这些荷真美啊！就算是在雨中也不失风采，更加美丽。

她长着一头秀发，还有一双炯炯有神的双眼，下方还有一个高挺的鼻梁，还有一张樱桃小嘴。

她的成绩优异，常年名列前茅。她不但成绩优异，而且还非常乐于助人。一次我有一道难题不会去问她，然后她就耐心的为我讲解。还有一次全班大扫除，我要扫教室，只有我一个人扫，然后她看见了，就主动提出和我一起打扫卫生。

她还是个非常喜欢看书的人。有一次，我见她在一节阅读课上，一直在看书，就连下课了，也在那里看书，别人在玩的时候她在看书，别人在休息的时候她在看书……

听了我的描述，你知道她是谁吗？

我们班有一个同学，活泼、机灵、爱动，鬼点子很多。

你看，他那双小眼睛，又黑又亮，特别有神;一对招风耳，告诉你一个小秘密——他的耳朵能够往上抬，也能往下落呢!

他爱动，喜欢玩“抖空竹”，但看书也能一看几个小时。他做事慢条斯理，但做起手工来却一点也不慢。在“未来工程师”兴趣班上，第一个完成作品的往往是他!他折纸的功夫也很不错，只要几秒钟，一件手工折纸作品就“立”在桌子上，让你惊叹于他的巧手“神功”。

他会时常和同学开一些无伤大雅的小玩笑，有时也会问一些脑筋急转弯，逗逗大家玩。有人给他起了“驴子”的外号，但他一点都不在意。

你想知道这个活泼、机灵、爱动，鬼点子超级多的人是谁吗?他就是吕子云——我!

When the traditional festival comes, everybody is excited about it, because

they will have holiday to relax. The meaning of these festivals is remembered by

the old generation all the time, while some young people do not know. So when we

enjoy the holiday, we need to know more about the traditional culture.

A foreign girl shot a video to ask Chinese young people something about

Mid-autumn festival. To everybody’s surprise, a lot of them did not know the

story about this big day. When I was very small, I have watched many TV series

telling about the myth of Hou Yi and his wife. I learned many Chinese myths and

legends from the shows. Though some people enjoy the festival, they should learn

the culture.

With the development of Chinese economic power, more and more foreigners

are interested in learning Chinese. Some are very crazy about the traditional

culture. They study famous great old poems and novels, treating the great

characters as idols.

The traditional festival is the important way to preserve our culture,

which is the great treasure of human being. We are so proud of it, because it is

priceless.

她的个头中等，有一点胖，头发总是扎个马尾，走起路来一甩一甩的，一双炯炯有神的大眼睛，让她显得非常精神。鼻子下面有一张能说会道、口齿伶俐的嘴巴，她就是我的妈妈。

“笑笑，赶紧起床，要不然上学就迟到了!快点起床!”哎，大清早这闹人的声音又在我耳边响起。

清晨，我被妈妈的大嗓门吵醒，可是，我又不能不听，只好乖乖地起床。进了卫生间，还没洗完脸，刷完牙，“大嗓门“又来了：”笑笑，你怎么那么慢，快迟到了，你还那么磨叽。“穿好衣服，我就乖乖地去上学了。

中午，我一进门，唠叨声又来了，“笑笑，一回来，就开始吃，手也不洗，快洗手去，脏不脏啊!哎，我又自觉地去洗手。吃完饭，妈妈又说：“笑笑，你能不能快去写作业，带回来的作业是干什么的?快去写!”无奈的我又匆忙地去写起了作业，中午的时间总是过得那么快，急忙忙的地在催促声中，我又要去上学了。

晚上，是我最讨厌的时间段，你听：“笑笑，写作业时能不能把后背挺起来，总是像个驼背老太太一样，字也一定要写好看啊，撕作业的事情最好不要再发生了!”妈妈每天除了说“笑笑”就还是“笑笑”。

虽然，妈妈的唠叨声有时候让我有些心烦，可是，就是在妈妈的唠叨声中，我从来都没有迟到过;在妈妈的唠叨声中，我的字也写得越来越好了，学习也越来越用功了……这所有的成绩全部都是妈妈的功劳，我很感谢我的妈妈，妈妈我永远爱您!等我长大了，我一定会回报您的!

夜幕降临，晚霞渐渐消失在天际，一轮如玉如盘的明月升上天空，一年一度的中秋节来临了!

中秋节的传统活动很多，有赏月，赏桂花，吃月饼我们全家坐在阳台的小桌旁，闻着园子里桂花沁人心脾的芳香，遥望着天空中的"白玉盘"，思念着远方的亲朋好友。但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。正如诗中所说，我们即使相隔千里，也能共享这美好的月光。

月饼是中秋节必不可少的美食，它的种类有很多，比如说，五仁月饼，豆沙月饼，蛋黄月饼，冰皮月饼每次吃月饼的时候，我都非常好奇，这么美味的糕点是怎么做出来的呢?自从看了舌尖上的中国，我才明白，做月饼也是非常复杂的哦。首先，挑选好模具和馅，然后把月饼粉调成面团，再一块块切好并搓圆，中间塞上满满的馅，最后放到模具里一压，一个美味的月饼就诞生了。

观钱江潮是杭州人特有的中秋活动。每年中秋节前后，杭州人都会查好潮水的时间，聚集在钱塘江边观潮。钱江潮一层叠一层，宛如一条长长的银线。潮水发出轰隆隆的巨响，如万马奔腾。潮水靠近时，我看到江中的鱼儿，一群一群跃出江面，那是多么欢快的景象。

中秋节是那么快乐，又是那么短暂，我多么盼望下一个中秋节早些来到啊。

我有一个小弟弟，只有三个月大，他的名字叫天天。

我很喜爱他，有时候我会逗他玩，逗他他会很开心，所以一见到我就笑；有时候我也会抱抱弟弟，虽然我抱的不算非常不错，但是妈妈也说我很棒，可以帮她带弟弟了，是个很好的哥哥。有时候我也喜爱亲亲他，由于他的小脸蛋胖乎乎的，软软的，他很喜爱趴在妈妈身上呼呼睡觉。

弟弟有一件很漂亮的小熊抱抱衣，弟弟穿在身上很暖和，更像一只可爱的小熊，还有两只小耳朵。我觉得他穿那件衣服特别好看。

今天老师布置了一个手工作业，看着妈妈给我买的橡皮泥，我灵机一动，弟弟不是喜欢恐龙吗?我就捏一只橡皮泥恐龙好了。

我先想象了一下恐龙的样子，然后从一大包的橡皮泥中，挑选出了蓝色、红色、黑色、白色的橡皮泥放在桌子上，就正式开工了。

首先，我取了一大块蓝色的橡皮泥放在手心里，双手使劲揉成了一个鸡蛋大的球，正好做恐龙胖乎乎的身子。接着我又选取了一小块蓝色的橡皮泥，轻轻搓成了手指那么粗的长条，安在身子上，不用说，这是恐龙的长脖子了。在脖子的最上端，我捏出恐龙的头的形状，然后拿出小刀在嘴巴的位置轻轻切开，雕刻出尖尖的牙齿。可是，这个头看上去简直是个四不像，真是想着容易做着难，我真想放弃了。

在妈妈的鼓励和指导下，我又重新坐下来，小心翼翼地揉捏，头终于做好了。恐龙还有一条长尾巴呢，这个还算简单，我又搓了一个一头粗，一头细的长条，粘在恐龙的背后。

为了让初具模样的恐龙更加传神，我用一小块黑色的彩泥做成小圆饼，中间点缀上圆圆的小白球，粘在恐龙头部的两端，这就是恐龙的眼睛了。红色的彩泥呢?别急，我揉成了红色的小圆球，粘在恐龙的背上。至于恐龙的四条腿，我是用牙签在恐龙的身子上划出来的，妈妈连连夸我有创意。

我托着恐龙左看右看，又进行了仔细地修改，一只萌萌的恐龙终于诞生了。弟弟高兴地飞奔过来，伸手就要抢，吓得我连忙伸手挡住他“别……别碰!还没干呢!干了让你玩!”

in nowadays, it is quite common that we compete with each other for various competitions. however, it is also essential for people to cooperate with each other for we are members of society. when confront with cooperation and competition, people seems to have a difficult time in choosing them. some people tend to compete with each other for they believe they can win rewards by defeating others. some hold that we should cooperate with each other. some think that we should not only cooperate with others but we should compete with others as well. in my opinion, i think that competing is more important for us. reasons are listed below.

现在，我们经常会跟其他人比赛。但是，与他人合作也是很重要的，因为我们都是社会中的一员。当面对合作和竞争的时候，人们很难抉择。一些人认为我们能够通过竞争打败别人来获奖。一些人认为我们应该跟他人合作。一些人认为我们不仅要跟他人合作，也要跟别人竞争。就我看来，我认为竞争会更重要一些。原因如下：

first of all, competing is more important than cooperation in our society. in school, we compete with others by doing better in our study. when we are looking for jobs, we compete with others applying for the same position. when we go to a competition, we fight with others for rewards or fame.

第一，竞争在社会中会比合作更重要。在学校里，我们通过在学业上做的比别人出色来与他人竞争。当我们找工作的时候，我们会与那些申请同一职位的人竞争。当我们参与某项竞赛的时候，我们会与他人争名誉。

secondly, we can be stronger by competing. if we want to win others, then we have to be stronger than others. thus, we have to improve ourselves constantly. consequently, our skills will be enhanced and we will get more experience to avoid failure.

第二，通过竞争，我们能变得更强。如果我们要赢得他人，那么我们必须比别人更强。为此，我们必须持续不断地提高我们自己。我们会因此提高我们的自身技能，而且也能得到更多避免失败的经验。

in conclusion, competition plays an important role in our society as well as we can become stronger.

总之，竞争在社会中扮演着重要的角色，我们可以通过竞争变得更强。

Welcome to Suzhou. Today I’m your tour guide. Suzhou is a beautiful place in Southeast China. It was built over 2500 years ago. So Suzhou is an old city with a long history. It’s famous for its gardens and Hanshan Temple. We are all proud of them. Many foreign tourists come to see them. In Suzhou, There are lots of old constructions like Tiger Hill, Beisi Pagoda and so on. After visiting them, you’ll be tired. But don’t be worried. There are also lots of snack shops in Suzhou. They are different from those in Western countries. They are much more delicious than some Western food. Suzhou is a modern city as well as an old city. There are lots of tall buildings and many other modern constructions in Suzhou, too. You can find hundreds of people in smart clothes in the street. What a beautiful city it is!

Last autumn we took a trip to Qianshan by bus. It is about thirty miles from the city. We planned to put up in a hotel there in order to watch the sun rise the next morning.

As soon as we got there, we began to climb up the mountains. How great the sight is! We felt as if we had entered amother world full of beauty, peaeefulness and loveliness. There are hundreds of mountains, one after another. there are magnificent cliffs, one above another. We climbed up vigorously and breathed the fresh air greedily. As the sun was going down, we descended to a little hotel at the foot of the hill, where we had a big dinner, and then went to bed early so as to regain the energy ior the expedition next morning.

Before daybreak, we reached the peak of the highest mountain after a hard groping and climbing in the dark. Unaware of the cold wind, we stood motionlessly, with our eyes fixing at the hr end of the east. Suddenly thin ravs of red hue spread across the sky. As the redness deepened, some mysterious clouds moved across thc sky, dividing heaven from the earth. Just at this moment, up from the brightening far east rose the sun. It was so red and yet so tender that we could gaze at it with naked eyes. and a slight applause from us. the amazed spectators, rang through the peak. Up, up it rose, adding to itself strength and glory at every step. It dazzled with vigour, driving away darkness, cold, and misery from the earth, and bring light, warmth, and happiness to men.

We were completely amazed at the wonder and the greatness of nature. We jumped and shouted like innocent children and we bathed in the first rays of the sun with the peak till it was time for our return.
