描述我的周末英语作文（合集20篇）

Every one has a different personality. I have an optimistic personality and I always do everything happily. But not every one finds this easy. When I meet people like this, I usually advise them to see the school councilor. There are reasons why everyones personality is so different. If your parents love you and care about you, then your personality will be healthy and happy. If your parents dont, then your personality could sad and withdrawn. A persons personality determines his or her future. So if you come across someone who is often worried, you can try and help them or tell them to seek help from a councilor.

每个人的性格都不一样。我的性格是一个乐观的，我总是开心的做所有的事情。但并不是每个人都觉得这样做很容易。当我遇到那样的人时，我通常建议他们去咨询学校顾问。每个人的性格是如此的不同是有原因的。如果你的父母爱你,、关心你、那么你的性格将是健康和快乐的。如果你的父母不爱你、关心你，然后你的性格会是阴郁的和孤僻的。一个人的性格决定了他或她的未来。所以如果你遇到那些经常担心的人，你可以试着帮助或者告诉他们去从顾问中寻求帮助。

problems and can’t solve. In oder to comfort them, I decide to travel with a

protects me buying too much candy, she says it will do harm to my health. Though

I am not happy, I accept it. Going shopping with my mother makes me so

Weekend Homework

There should be no more weekend homework for us students. Six days devoted to school are enough for us modern students, who have many other interests. With homework to do on Sundays, when can we find time to help around the house, join in a football or baseball game or see a good film, or just have a rest? Because of all these other activities, weekend homework is usually put off until Sunday night. As a resuit, it is often done so poorly that on Mondays teachers always scold the whole class who have little idea of what the learned lessons are about. If there were no homework for the weekends, students would go to school on Mondays well rested and be willing to study.

Dear teachers, don＇t you agree with us?

周末作业

对于我们这些学生来说，周末不应该再有作业了。我们这些现在的学生都有很多其他的兴趣爱好，在学校六天的学习对于我们来说已经足够了。如果周日还要写作业的

话，我们什么时候才能帮忙做做家务，玩玩足球、棒球，看看电影或是休息休息呢?由于所有这些其他的活动，周末作业常常拖到星期天晚上才开始做。结果作业做得马马虎

虎，星期一全班同学把所学的课程忘得精光，惹得老师大发雷霆。如果周末没有作业的话，学生们就可以好好休息，星期一高高兴兴地去学校学习了。

亲爱的老师，您同意我们的意见吗?

[英语作文：周末作业

Once a year the Spring Festival is coming, everybody busy couplets, everybody is bursting with happiness atmosphere, very happy, our family is no exception, on the twenty-nine, I just got up, my mother called to my sister and couplets, we posted a big character in the central door, on both sides of the door posted couplets on the "Fu born Xi annual music" the second line is "rich suisui Tim Choi Huan" streamer is "Happy New Year" soon we posted a good, I look at my work very happy.

On New Years Eve, we put on new clothes and set off firecrackers with our sister. A "crackling" sound from our ears through, like thousands of households to send blessings, we are very happy. On the eve of new years Eve, we had dinner, and I watched the Spring Festival Gala with my father, mother and sister. That wonderful performance made my mood open, there was a cross talk, there was a sketch and a song and dance... Very pretty. But I like Xiao Shenyang? Ya egg? Zhao Benshan and the old finished "no money" is so fun.

Lunar New Years day I just woke up and found a gift money pillow, sister, we laugh, and we ate dumplings, went to grandmas home after worship, pay New Years call, grandparents, give us the gift money, but also to eat out, we eat, we are very happy.

I like the new year. Its good for the new year.

I think everyone likes weekend. Because it’s time for relax and fun. Now I want to talk about my weekend.

I often spend Saturday for fun. Such as playing basketball with my friends, watching movies and TV shows, having a trip with family and so on. And I always spend Sunday for homework and have some rest. Sometimes I visit my grandparents with my parents. It’s very interesting to visit them.

我想每个人都喜欢周末，因为这是放松和玩耍的时间。现在我想谈谈我的周末。

星期六我通常用来玩，比如和朋友打篮球，看电影和电视节目，和家人旅行等等。星期天我通常用来做作业和休息。有时候我会和父母去看望爷爷奶奶。看望他们是件很有趣的事。

"XX school student collective food poisoning", "XX place bleak look-out collapse", "XX place again there was a traffic accident"... Life, always hear or see some strange, let person sigh of accident, one after another tragedy always constantly in front of us.

Danger is in our each persons side, sometimes is so near to us. "Lucky" I experienced this once. That, I come home from school, saw this scene: a child was playing in the road, no attention paid to the coming danger, a large truck coming toward her. Others shouted, looking back, the childrens truck, immediately panic, his face pale, legs a soft, straight down to the ground, big trucks the emergency brake, but it was too late, the boy has been under pressure in the car. People suddenly gave a shout, some with burying his face in his hands, did not dare to look down, some by the sudden scene scared silly, just stand in situ. "Another child forever left the world", is really sad. However, when people return to absolute being, has found that children had miraculously stood up, not a little damage.

Many risks ah, had a narrow escape. Thanks to the girl in the middle of front, thanks to the cars chassis is high, if a little partial, if the body again a little bit low, the consequence is unimaginable.

Security, is inseparable from a topic, we will never pay attention to safety, is we all know the truth. But safety accidents happen every day, and constantly increasing, every day in the heartbreaking tragedy. Safety first, with safety, we floral life to blossom. With safety, we can happily spend the youth, life for everyone only once, lost, will not come back. Whenever we up and down the stairs, a little light, quiet a little. Whenever we cross the road, look around first, then walked briskly, whenever we school, want to go home as soon as possible, dont play on the side of the road.

Life is great, but it is fragile. We should cherish life, safety first!

“XX学校学生集体食物中毒”，“XX地方煤井塌陷”，“XX地方又发生了交通事故”……生活中，总会听到或看到这样一些令人惊心，让人叹息的事故发生，一个又一个地悲剧总会在我们面前不断地上演。

危险就在我们每个人的身边，有时离我们是那么近。我“有幸”经历了这么一次。那次，我放学回家，看到了这样一幕：一个孩子正在马路中央玩耍，丝毫没有注意到即将到来的危险，一辆大卡车朝她驶来。旁人高喊一声，那个孩子回头一看，是卡车，顿时惊恐万分，脸色发白，腿一软，人直直地倒在地上，大卡车紧急刹车，可是，已经迟了，那个孩子已被压在车下。人群顿时发出一阵惊呼，有的用双手捂住脸，不敢往下看，有的被突如其来的场面吓傻了，呆呆地立在原地。“又一个孩子永远地离开了这个世界”，真是悲哀。可是，当人们回过神来后，却发现小孩奇迹般地站了起来，没有受到一点伤害。

多险呀，真是死里逃生。幸亏了那女孩倒在了车前的正中间，幸亏了那车的底盘高，如果再偏一点，如果车身再低一点，那后果不堪设想。

安全，是我们永远离不开的一个话题，注意安全，是我们每个人都懂的道理。但是安全事故还是每天都在发生，而且不断地增多，天天都在上演那令人心碎的悲剧。安全第一呀，有了安全，我们如花般的生命才能绽放。有了安全，我们才能开开心心地度过青春年华，生命对每个人来说只有一次，失去了，就永远回不来了。每当我们上下楼梯，轻一点儿，静一点儿。每当我们横穿马路，先左右看一下，再轻快地走过，每当我们放学时，要尽快回家，不要在路边玩耍。

生命是伟大的，但又是脆弱的。我们要珍惜生命，安全第一!

Lucky money, of course, personal disposal method is different, some people spend New Years money is extravagant, havent open, New Years money is spent all; Also some people save money, I am going to put money into several parts to use.

人人都喜欢新年，因为有许多快乐，以前很少见面的亲戚可以坐在一起，吃顿团圆饭，长辈要给晚辈发压岁钱。当然了，个人的压岁钱处置办法不一样，有些人花压岁钱可谓是大手大脚，还没开学，压岁钱就花光光了;也有些人把压岁钱存起来，我要把压岁钱分成几部分来用。

第一部分：用来交牛奶、伙食等费，不能依赖爸爸妈妈，我得用去100多元，剩下的钱必须向老爸老妈“贷款”，嘻嘻。

第二部分：用来买书，书可以丰富我们的课余生活，我买的书有课外书，二胡书、老师让我们买试卷等得用去60多元。

In the year thirty, our family changed new clothes and attached new Spring Festival couplets to welcome the arrival of the new year. In the evening, our family eats dumplings. The dumplings have a moral meaning: the money is rolling. Because dumplings are like a treasure, in ancient times Yuan Bao was money. Not certain staying-up late on new years Eve "spring", not "spring", there is no meaning staying-up late on new years eve. We were sitting on the sofa, laughing and laughing, watching the Spring Festival evening, and it was happy.

On the first day of the year, my father and I were sitting in their own car, walking on the new road. Although the cold wind was sharp, it was still very happy. When I arrived at Grandmas house, I got a big red bag with my grandmother for a year and thought: "Im rich this year!" And then the neighbours of grandmas neighborhood had a year of worship. Then came to the great uncles house, came to the great uncles house, and went to the paradise of the book, with the story, the science, the art... After dinner at the great uncles house, I received a red bag and some books, and I had to digest the books a little bit. Its a pleasure to come to the great uncles house.

Im really happy this year. Its a happy Spring Festival!

Weekends to people mean that they can have a two-day good rest. For example, people can go out to enjoy themselves or get together with relatives and friends to talk with each other or watch interesting video tapes with the whole family.

Everyone spends weekends in his own way. Within two days, some people can relax themselves by listening to music, reading novels, or watching films. Others perhaps are more active by playing basketball, wimming or dancing. Different people have different relaxations.

I often spend weekends with my family or my friends. Sometimes my parents take me on a visit to their old friends. Sometimes I go to the library to study or borrow some books to gain much knowledge. I also go to see various exhibition to broaden my vision. An excursion to seashore or mountain resorts is my favorite way of spending weekends. Weekends are always enjoyable for me.

周末的人意味着他们可以有两天的休息好。例如，人们可以走出去，享受自己或亲友与对方交谈，或观看有趣的录像带与全家人聚在一起。每个人都度过周末在他自己的方式。两天之内，有些人可以通过听音乐，看小说，或看电影放松一下自己。其他人或许是打篮球，游泳或者舞蹈更加活跃。不同的人有不同的放松方式。我经常花周末与我的家人和我的朋友们。有时我父母带我参观他们的老朋友。有时候我去图书馆学习或借一些书，获得很多知识。我也去看看各种展览，开阔了我的视野。游览到海边或山区度假胜地是我最喜欢的消费周末的方式。周末总是愉快的我。

那天我和爸爸一起下棋，爸爸说：“你选吧!我每样棋都能赢过你的。”我暗暗的想起了一件事，就是爸爸不会下五子棋，所以我就选了五子棋，爸爸看见我拿了五子棋他就想：形式有变啊!我这一次肯定输了。

还没开始我就诡异的笑着对爸爸说：“来，我们父子两大战三百回合，不累不归。”

刚开始爸爸就被我杀了个片甲不留。他输了，我赢了。

第二回合开始了，我还差一步就赢了，幸好他的眼睛快。让我那步棋泡汤了。最后不管爸爸怎样奋力抵抗还是输了。

是不是这个五子棋大战很精彩啊!我这个周末过的可真愉快。( cnfla：

Everyone has their own childhood memory. -- -- -- -- -- words, childhood is hazy poetry, is the picture of quietly elegant, classic songs... The childhood I naive, clever and lively; My childhood, I imagine rich, optimistic and cheerful.

In the past years, I am a simple and happy. Just dont say looking at the sky stunned the relaxed, not to mention the hiding in bed sleeping in, also dont have to say to imitate the excitement of shooting stars alone is sucking the sorbet watching cartoons wandering in the street the incomparable simple happiness, can let me memorable.

In the past years, I feel the something called "love". May be the teacher take a disease has continued to our class; Maybe mom brings to me is dry in the rain and comfort; Perhaps the students take the initiative to help me clean the classroom health scene... What sort of scene touched my sensitive heart, is impossible. But one thing is for sure, in the "love", "love", "love" and "love" in the endless sea, I raise the sails of hope, efforts to move forward.

In the past years, the time like an arrow, just leave me alone XingChanYingGu wandering in the memory of the island. That each shining pearl, is I the same as when you giggle? That only white gulls heron, the same as when you are my fantasy? That hits the tall trees, is the appearance of when I was growing up... Petals gently picked up a piece of mind, I want to make it into a chic bookmarks, let it forever in the world of words its fragrance, forever......

每个人都拥有属于自己童年的记忆. -----题记童年，是朦胧的诗，是淡雅的画，是经典的歌……童年的我，天真幼稚、机灵活泼;童年的我，想象丰富、乐观开朗。

在那逝去的年华里，我是简单而幸福的。不必说望着星空发呆的悠闲，不必说躲在被窝里睡懒觉的惬意，也不必说模仿球星投篮时的兴奋，单是吮吸着冰糕看着漫画在大街上闲逛的那份无与伦比的简单快乐，就能让我回味无穷。

在那些逝去的年华里，我体味到一种叫“爱”的东西。也许是老师带病仍坚持为我们上课的情景;也许是妈妈冒雨为我送来干爽和安慰的情景;也许是同学们主动帮我打扫教室卫生的场景……究竟是哪种情景触动了我敏感的心弦，都无从谈起。但有一点可以确定，在“母爱”、“师爱”、“友爱”等“爱”的一望无际的海洋中，我扬起希望的风帆，努力向前驶去。

在那些逝去的年华里，时间像箭似的掠过，只留我独自一人形单影孤地在记忆的孤岛上徘徊。那一颗颗闪亮的珍珠，是我傻笑时的样子吗?那一只只洁白的鸥鹭，是我幻想时的样子吗?那一棵棵高大的树木，是我成长时的样子吗……轻轻拾起一片思绪的花瓣，我要把它制成一张别致的书签，让它永远在文字的世界里散发芳香，永远……

Music美国人的音乐爱好

James Fenimore Cooper, an early American writer, once said, "The Americans are almost ignorant of the art of music." If that was once true, you would never know it today. Most Americans——even those without a musical bone in their bodies——have a favorite style of music. Many people enjoy classical and folk music from around the world. But other popular music styles in America were "made in the U.S.A."

一位美国早期的作家柯柏(James Fenimore Cooper)曾说：「美国人对音乐艺术几乎可以说是相当的无知。」如果这话曾经是事实，今日你绝不会这么认为了。大部份的美国人，甚至包括那些没有音乐细胞的人，都有自己喜爱的音乐型态。许多人喜欢世界各国的古典音乐和民俗音乐，然而美国其它的流行音乐则是「在美国制造」的。

Country and western music lies close to the heart of many Americans. This style originated among country folks in the southern and western United States. Country music tells down-to-earth stories about love and lifes hardships. Guitars, banjos and violins——also known as fiddles——give country music its characteristic sound. The home of country music is Nashville, Tennessee——Music City U.S.A. Country music even has its own theme park called "Opryland" where you can enjoy music shows and fun rides. "The Grand Ole Opry," the oldest radio show in the United States, broadcasts country music live from Opryland every weekend.

乡村和西部音乐深得很多美国人的人心，这种型态的音乐起源于美国南部和西部的乡村小民们。乡村音乐传述着真实不加渲染的爱情故事和生活中的艰难。吉他、五弦琴和小提琴(violin又名fiddle)可弹奏出乡村音乐的特殊音色。乡村音乐的发源地是田纳西州的纳许维尔市——美国的音乐城市。而乡村音乐甚至还有它自己的主题乐园——Opryland呢!在那儿你可以享受音乐表演以及好玩的游乐设施。美国最老牌的广播节目「The Grand Ole Opry」每个周末都实况播放Opryland的音乐。

Jazz music, developed by African-Americans in the late 1800s, allows performers to freely express their emotions and musical skill. Instead of just playing the melody, jazz musicians improvise different tunes using the same chords. The peak of jazz music came in the 1920s, known as "The Jazz Era." This period produced musicians like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. These musicians later created the "big band" sounds of the 1930s. Different styles of jazz developed in different cities, such as New Orleans, Chicago, New York and Kansas City. Composer George Gershwin brought jazz into the world of classical music with pieces like "Rhapsody in Blue."

爵士乐是十九世纪末期由非裔的美国人发展出来的。它让表演者自由地表现他们的情感和音乐技巧。不仅演奏旋律，爵士音乐大师用同样的和弦即兴演奏出不同的曲调。爵士乐的高峰期出现于二○年代，该时期被称为「爵士年代」。这个时期创造出来的乐手有阿姆斯特朗(Louise Armstrong)，古德曼(Benny goodman)和埃林顿(Duke Ellington)。这些乐手稍后都创造了三○年代的「大乐团」之音。在不同的城市也孕育出不同的爵士风格，像是纽奥尔良、芝加哥、纽约和坎萨斯市。作曲家盖希文(George Gershwin)更以像「蓝色狂想曲」这样的作品，将爵士乐带入古典音乐的世界里。

However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it

hard names. It is not as bad as you are.

It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults in

paradise. Love your life, poor as it is.

You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a

poor-house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as

brightly as from the rich mans abode; the snow melts before its door as early

in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and

have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.
