小学的英语日记【汇编20篇】

中秋节，是中国的传统节日之一。那天，人们都沉浸在与家人团圆的喜悦当中。这年的中秋节，我过得很愉快。

中秋节这天，街市上会有各种各样的月饼，但是我们家呢，是自己做月饼的哦!

早上，妈妈准备好了做月饼的材料，便忙碌了起来。我对这一窍不通，只能在旁边看着，偶尔跑跑腿什么的。妈妈做的月饼是新鲜的面和馅做成的，主馅是红糖，然后加上了点儿芝麻、果仁、花生仁和葡萄干等。做出来后，不管是蒸出来的还是烤出来的，只要一端到桌子上，立刻就会让人垂涎三尺!不仅如此，妈妈做的月饼还很漂亮，上面的图案就像雕刻家刻出来的一样。这次妈妈刻的是我最喜欢的桂花瓣的图案。月饼一部分是现在吃，一部分是留到晚上吃。我呢，已经迫不及待了，不等它慢慢冷下来，就像狼吞虎咽地吃起来，结果烫到嘴了，真是“心急吃不了热月饼”啊!

傍晚时候，爸爸从市场上买回来田螺，准备晚上煮来吃。首先，要清洗好田螺。我拿了一个洗菜的盆，把田螺倒进去，然后倒进足够的水，用刷子一个个认真地把田螺上的泥沙洗干净。洗好了之后，爸爸用钳子把田螺尾部的一小部分钳掉，我不明白的问爸爸：“爸，为什么要钳掉这东西啊?”爸爸回答说：“不钳掉就很难吸田螺肉出来的。”我恍然大悟地点点头。田螺的清洗工作彻底完成之后，妈妈就开始抄田螺了。首先，开煤气，点燃灶子，往锅里倒入适量的水，倒入田螺，先煮一煮，当水被煮得没剩多少时，倒入适量的油煸炒，然后依次倒入酱油、辣椒，再炒一会儿，一盘又香又辣的炒田螺就出锅了。

晚上，我们一家人一边吃晚饭一边看着电视。吃的菜便是炒田螺了。田螺不是很辣，用牙签弄出田螺肉，吮吸那美味的酱汁，多么惬意的晚餐。其他菜也很美味，其中那最简单的西红柿炒蛋就是我做的，虽然没有平时妈妈做的那么好吃，但我已经努力了。

晚饭后，我们吃了饭后水果——柚子，柚子是中秋节的必备品之一。“柚”与“佑”谐音，是希望月亮保佑的意思，另外，柚子是圆的，也是象征着团圆的意思啦!

在门外赏月时，我望着天上的圆月，心想：同样的中秋节，我这些年已经陪伴父母过了好几个了，如今，自己慢慢成长，父母慢慢变老，长大后陪伴他们的时日也会慢慢变少，是该为他们做些什么了……祝愿所有的游子能回到家人身边，所有的家庭都如天上的圆月一般，和和美美、团团圆圆。

China has many traditional festivals among the year. But I like Mid-Autumn Festival the most. It means harvest, because it is celebrated in the harvest season. And it is the time for famers to express their thanks for harvest. In addtion, it’s the day for reunion. Some people call it Tuanyuanjie. The people work or study far away from home will come back to get-together with their families. They will eat a big meal and mooncake at that time. I hate parting but love reunion. So Mid-Autumn Day is my favorite festival.

一年之中中国有很多传统节日。我最喜欢的是中秋节。那意味着收获，因为它是在收获的季节里面庆祝的。那也是让农民们感激收获的时候。 此外，它也是团圆的日子。有人把它称为团圆节。在远方工作或学习的人都会回来与家人团聚。他们会在那个时候一起吃一顿丰盛的晚餐和月饼。我讨厌离别，喜欢团圆。所以我最喜欢的节日是中秋节。

今天上午，天气炎热，让人感觉就像是在蒸笼里一样，这样的天气，吃一口西瓜是再合适不过了。今天爷爷正要出门买西瓜，我想起前几天在网上看到如何挑选西瓜的文章，于是我也跟着出去了。

来到卖瓜的地摊，爷爷知道我会买瓜，便让我自己去挑选西瓜。我走到摊位前，看了好一会儿，一会用手掂量掂量，一会儿又抱起西瓜观察观察，还用手弹了弹西瓜，听听西瓜发出的声音，是否清脆。终于，经过好长时间的选择，我挑选了四个西瓜。

回到家，爷爷让妈妈剖开一个西瓜尝尝，看看西瓜是否好吃。妈妈随手拿了一个西瓜剖开，大家咬了第一口后都说，这瓜真不错，很甜。爷爷笑着说：“今天的西瓜，可都是贝贝挑的。”爸爸听了后，竖起大拇指说：“你真厉害!你是怎么挑的瓜呀?”听了他们的夸奖，我心里可高兴了，但我还是想卖一个关子，我故意对他们说：“这个嘛，我明天再告诉你们。”妈妈听了，故意使出了激将法，她笑着说：“我看你也是瞎猫碰上死耗子，凑巧的吧!”我一听，急了，马上说：“怎么可能，我买瓜的时候看了，瓜脐要小，瓜藤不能细，瓜纹要清析，弹起西瓜的声音要清脆，我是按着网上说的要求去买的。”我一说完，发现爸爸妈妈都笑了，唉，我才发现，自己“中计”了，生气地马上不理他们，不再说话了。妈妈见我生气了，便使出了杀手锏，对我说：“儿子，今天下午带你看电影好不好?”我一听这话，马上笑着答应，不再生气了。

导语：写日记可以提高文学素养，完善文学功底，帮助写一手好文章。希望同学们以后也养成用英语写日记的习惯。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的英语日记作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

I have rested for a week. I began to feel bored. So I went out with my friends. They are my best friends in the middle school. We didn’t go to someplace special. We just saw the other. We had lunch together. While we were having lunch, we were still talking about the new school and new friends. Yes! A year later, we have grown riper. And we learned much more things and got new life. We haven’t enough time to play, to waste and to lose the way. We only have two years. Two years to go, we will get the real life which belongs to us.

【参考翻译】

我已经休息了一个星期。我开始觉得无聊。所以，我和我的朋友一起出去。他们是我中学最好的朋友。我们没有去的地方特别。我们刚才看到的。我们共进午餐。虽然我们吃午饭，我们仍然谈论新学校和新朋友。是!一年后，我们已经发展成熟。我们学到了很多东西，得到更多的新生活。我们还没有足够的时间来浪费。我们只有两年。两年来的时候，我们将得到真正的属于我们的生活。

The Dragon Boat Festival, must not not include dumplings! Today, my sister is teaching me the dumplings! You see.

Make zongzi must be prepared. My sister was ready to soak for three hours of glutinous rice and bought the leaves, which surprised me.

I put my rice in the leaves, and I was all over the table, and I was angry. My sister said to me, "you want to make a triangular shape of the leaf and put the rice in it!"

So I did what my sister said, and pressed it on the rice. Whats in the middle of that dish? It was minced meat! I dug a small hole in the middle of the glutinous rice and made it into a round shape, stuffing it into glutinous rice and adding it to the glutinous rice. How can you seal it? I looked at my sister and knew everything.

I pressed down one of the warped leaves and pressed the rope hard. Success! I covered a lot of them in the previous method. Now its time to get the pot down, boil the water first, and then put the dumplings on.

After a while, the dumplings were cooked. The four of you sat at the table and ate the dumplings.

I untied the rope and was trying to remove the leaves, but when I touched it, it was hot. Her sister looked and laughed. I blew and blew the heat away. I again carefully will leaves open, eat up to her delicious dumplings - among all be stuffed glutinous rice, wrapped in a delicious meat, fresh juice in your mouth, no oil is not greasy, and chewy, feels so good!

So the Dragon Boat Festival in the past, his mouth to eat with his hand package dumplings, thought the tang dynasty poet du fu wrote poems: palace clothing is famous, dragon boat be reward. The wind is soft and the snow is light. When the weather is wet, lets go to the heat. The meaning is the length of the word, the whole life.

What a happy Dragon Boat Festival!

过端午节，一定少不了粽子!今天，姐姐就在教我包粽子呢!你瞧。

做粽子一定要有准备的。原来，姐姐已准备好浸泡了3个小时的糯米，同时也买好了粽叶，这样准备就让我大吃一惊了。

我把米放在叶子里，可米全撒在了桌上，我生气极了。姐姐对我说：“你要把叶子做成一个三角形的样子，然后再把米放进去啊!”

于是，我按照姐姐说的步骤作了一遍，在米上按了按，咦?旁边那个盘子中间放的是什么?原来是肉馅哦!我在糯米中间挖了一个小洞洞，把肉馅弄成圆状，塞入糯米中，让它也加入糯米的行列中。可怎么封好呢?我看了眼姐姐，就明白了一切。

我把翘起来的一片叶子按下来，并用绳子用力的扎紧。成功啦!我按照前面的方法，包了好多个。现在就要下锅了，先是把水烧开，然后把粽子放下去。

过了一会儿，粽子煮好了。大家四人坐在桌子旁，吃起了粽子。

我把绳子解开，正想把叶子摘掉，可我一碰，就被烫着了。姐姐看了，哈哈的笑了起来。我吹着吹着，把让热气吹走了。我再次小心翼翼的将叶子掀开，吃起了自己亲手做的香喷喷的粽子来——白白胖胖的糯米中间，包着一团鲜汁可口的肉馅，放入口中，不油不腻，又有嚼劲，感觉太好了!

端午节就这么过去了，嘴里吃着自己亲手包的粽子，心里想着我国唐代诗人杜甫写的诗：宫衣亦有名，端午被恩荣。细葛含风软，香罗叠雪轻。自天题处湿，当暑着来清。意内称长短，终身荷圣情。

这真是一个快乐的端午节!

Today was my friend’s birthday, and I was invited to her birthday party.

The party was so great and the theme was red color. I saw many pictures of Hello

Kitty. They were so lovely. We sang the song to her and played a lot of funny

games. At last, we sent our best wishes to her. We had a great time.

The Dragon Boat Festival， also called the Duanwu Festival， is celebrated on

the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. This

festival is to commemorate the death of QU Yuan， an upright and honest poet and

statesman who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a

river.

The most important activity of this festival is the Dragon Boat races. It

symbolizes people‘s attempts to rescue Qu Yuan. In the current period， these

races also demonstrate the virtues of cooperation and teamwork.

Besides， the festival has also been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous

rice). Zongzi is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and

wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. People who mourned the death of Qu threw Zong

zi into the river to feed his ghost every year.

With the changes of the times， the memorial turns to be a time for

protection from evil and disease for the rest of year. People will hang healthy

herbs on the front door to clear the bad luck of the house. Although the

significance of the festival might be different with the past， it still gives

the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural

heritage.

端午节，又称为端午节，定在第五个月的第五天据中国日历。这个节日是为了纪念屈原的死，一个忠厚老实的诗人和政治家据说在河流溺水自杀。

这个节日最重要的活动是龙舟竞赛。它象征着人们的努力救屈原。在当前时期，这些比赛也证明合作和团队合作的优点。

此外，节日还被吃的粽子(糯米)。粽子是糯米做的塞满了不同的馅料包在竹叶或芦苇叶。人哀悼屈原的死亡把粽子扔进河里喂他的鬼魂。

随着时代的变化，纪念转向防止邪恶和疾病是一个时间的。人们会把健康的草药挂在前门清理房子的坏运气。虽然这个节日的意义可能与过去不同，它仍然使观察者看到的机会丰富的中国文化遗产的一部分。

It was the second day of our winter holiday. I felt good. I felt Im free.

I had a lot of time to do things I like. My parents are in Beijing. So I live

alone but I dont feel lonely. But I didnt do something special. I stayed at

home and watched TV. Oh! I wrote an English daily composition. It was my

homework. Today, I have slept for 14 hours. I thought I was very tired. It was

time for dinner. I must go! I am very hungry.

Everybody wishes (hopes) to get money so that he can maintain his

livelihood。 In other words， money is so useful that it is impossible for mankind

to live without it。 For this reason， we have an interesting proverb。 It says

“Money can make the world go around。” In a word， money is more powerful than

anything else。

However， money should not be wasted。 It must be used for (some) proper

purposes。 We young men should form the good habit of not spending money in the

wrong way。

每个人为了能够维持生活，所以都期望得到钱。换句话说，钱是十分有用，所以没有它人类即无法生活。基于此种理由，我们有一句搞笑的谚语。它说有“钱能使鬼推磨”。一言以蔽之，钱比任何另外的东西更有力量。

然而，钱不就应被浪费掉。它务必用于正当的用途上。我们青年人就应养成不乱花钱的好习惯。

哎哟喂，雨真大啊，把雨衣爷爷吹得飞来飞去……

Hey, its raining hard. Blow grandpas raincoat

around.

雨，是个常见的自然景物，雨衣爷爷呢，他，就是为我们风吹挡雨的——好爷爷。他，为人们服务。今天，他就为特殊的人服务——那就是我和妈妈，特殊吧，嘻嘻，我和妈妈开始，可以挡过一阵，后来，雨加速了，又迎来了大大的风;呼呼呼呼……刚开始，是小雨，滴滴嗒嗒，小雨依然下着，好像在说;哈哈哈，我又来到人间啦，嘻嘻。呜，一阵风把它们刮得老大，这回，逼我和妈妈拿出——雨衣爷爷，来挡雨，噢，no，雨衣爷爷也挡不住，自己被风刮来刮去，似乎在说;哎哟，我的老骨头，孩子，我坚持不住啦。就这样，伴随风，回到家，脚淋湿了。

good Grandpa. He, serve people. Today, he serves for special people - that is,

my mother and I, special bar, hee hee, my mother and I started to block for a

blown around by the wind, as if to say; ouch, my old bone, my child, I cant

August 7,2014 Friday Today, I did housework for grandmother. She is not

very healthy and I decide to do housework for her more frequently. And she will

feel happy and become better. Suddenly, an idea hit me that it’s terrible to

grow old becuase you have to worry about both your health and others’ opinions.

Once again, I make a decision to be a good girl.

译文：今天，我帮助了奶奶做家务。奶奶的身体不好。我以后要常帮她做事。这样她就会高兴身体也会好一些。突然觉得，人老了真不好。不但身体不会好，而且一不小心就会惹得大家讨厌。我又做了一个决定，以后一定要做个乖孩子。

My Foreign Teacher

Hello! I’m He Baoyi. We have three new teachers this term. But my favourite

teacher is English teacher. Who is she? Yes, she’s Linda.

Do you want to know her? Linda is very beautiful. Look! She has a round

face, two small black eyes, a straight nose, a big mouth and two small ears. Her

hair is very long. She is not tall and not short. She likes wearing a white

at pingpong, but also good at singing. She likes talking with us. We all like

你好!我他Baoyi啦。这学期我们有三位新老师。但是我最喜欢的老师是英语老师。她是谁?是的,自己是琳达。

你想认识她吗?琳达非常漂亮。看!她有一张圆圆的脸，两只黑色的小眼睛，一个直鼻梁，一个大嘴巴和两只小耳朵。她的头发很长。她个子不高，个子不矮。她喜欢穿白色的衣服。她看起来像个天使。琳达每天工作很努力。她对我们很严格。但她是善良的。她的课很有趣。真的吗?是的。在课堂上，她是我们的好老师。下课后，她是我们的好朋友。

她最喜欢的食物是豆腐。它非常健康。她不仅擅长乒乓球，而且擅长唱歌。她喜欢和我们谈话。我们都喜欢她。

Have you ever wondered about theStars? In some ways， stars are like people. They are born， then grow old， and at last they die.

A star is born from dust and gas. Slowly the dust and gas make a ball. The ball gets very hot. Then it stars to give off light.

The young star grows into a giant. Many years go by. The older star begin to get small again. At last its light goes out. The stars life is over.

Dear Mary,

Thanks for your last letter. Im so glad that you have been able (at last! ) to arrange a holiday in Australia. As I fear I wont be able to meet you at the airport when you arrive, nor will I be able to be home until later in the afternoon, so here are some instructions and suggestions.

There is a bus from the airport to the city. It is much cheaper than a cab. Take the bus to the city and ask to get off at Town Hall railway station.

To get to my place in the eastern suburbs you have three options. You can either take a cab, a bus or the train. I suggest you take the train, since the airport bus will leave you right at the station. Get off at Cliff Station. From there you can either walk to my place (about ten minutes) or take a taxi. Probably you should take a taxi as you will have luggage.

When you arrive at my flat, ring the intercom for Flat 2. My friend Lillian will be at home and she will open the front door for you and let you into my flat.

Presumably you will be tired and want to sleep. But if you feel like some exercise after that long flight, you could stroll down to Cooper Park, which is only ten minutes away ? you can see it from the window.

Cheers and looking forward to seeing you.

Yours sincerely,

Annie

最近我读了一本书，书的名字叫《淘气包日记》

这本书，讲的是一个淘气包的故事，主人公因为淘气，调皮，捣蛋，被称为"捣蛋鬼加尼诺"，他在日记本上抄了两页姐姐的日记，把姐姐的婚事弄吹;把贝蒂娜姑妈的心爱的龙胆草摔烂;他在贝蒂娜姑妈的附近造了一个动物园，把她心爱的叫昂基诺的卷毛狗涂上红漆，做成了狮子;又把驴涂上红绿相间的油漆，做出了一条奇怪的斑马，再把羊也涂上红绿相间的油漆，做成老虎，再把小猪裹上一条盖马的布，涂上绿色油漆，当做鳄鱼，最后，把小孩绑在书上，用小布条当尾巴，做成了猴子。回家后，他把炮眼绑在姐夫身上，他表演魔术时，差点射瞎客人的眼睛;他去罗马养病时，把别人家里弄得一团糟，他在家里的小盆里钓鱼时，却钓下了一个老人的牙齿……

加尼诺的故事，有时让我开怀大笑，有时让我心情沉重，虽然我不喜欢他调皮捣蛋，可是我不由地想起了我小时候，大概上2年级时，我去爸爸店里玩，把他汽车上的手刹拉松了，结果滑到了慢行车道，幸好没有人经过，否则后果不堪设想，爸爸狠狠地教训了一顿。还有一次，我把好多种液体灌在一起，放在瓶子里，过了几天弄得整个屋子里臭气熏天。爸爸妈妈只好捂着鼻子把瓶子扔进垃圾桶。

加尼诺很聪明也很有想象力，但他做什么事都不考虑后果，他应该把自己的聪明才智用在好的方面，比如帮助别人或用在学习上。

我绝对不能学习加尼诺，不然有很多人会为我操心，周围的人也会因此遭殃，所以我以后再也不调皮了，不能让妈妈老是为我操心。

又到期末考试了，接下来小编为你带来小学英语日记10篇带翻译，希望对你有帮助。

There is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world.

Without it, life will be empty and meaningless. If you wish to know how to get

happiness, you must pay attention to the following two points.

First, health is the secret of happiness (the key to happiness). Only a

strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life.

Secondly, happiness consists in contentment. A man who is dissatisfied with

his present condition is always in distress.

无疑的快乐是世界上最宝贵的东西。没有它，人生将是空虚的而且毫无意义的。如果你希望知道如何获得快乐，你须注意下面两点。

健康是快乐的要诀。唯有身体强壮的人才能享受人生的乐趣。

快乐在于知足。一个不满于现状的人终是处在痛苦之中。

The Lunar New Year occasion to the Chinese people. It lasts about the first

four days of the year, during which people do not work except for the workers on

duty. Students do not go to school, and shops are closed.

Several days before the new year, people begin to prepare. Farmers kill

pigs, sheep, cocks and hens. City dwellers buy meat fish and vegetables. Houses

are cleaned; couplets are posted on the doors. Colourful lanterns are hung at

the gate.

On the eve of the new year, each family has its members gatherd together

and eats a family reunion dinner. After the meal they watch TV until the clock

strickes twelve. Then every family sets off long strings of small firecrackers

and other fireworks to welcome the new year. On the first day of the new year,

almost everyone is dressed in his or her best. When

people meet on the way, they say to each other "Happy New Year". Friends

and relatives pay new year calls and gives presents to each other. Children

indulge themselves in games.

Be Grateful to Our Parents

Since we were born， many people help us a lot. We should be grateful to their kindness. But the ones we should show our greatest appreciation are our parents. From the first day we appear in their lives， they give us all their love and care， but never expect anything in return. As long as they are there， we do not feel any difficulties， because they are always in front of our shelter， preventing us from difficulties and danger. In order to make our lives better， learn better， they do everything they can to create the best conditions for us， but ignore their own needs. Therefore， we need to cherish parents’ love and repay their upbringing. We should treat them as they treat us.

Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is coming. Its a traditional North

American holiday,and is a form of harvest festival. In the United States, the

fourth Thursday in November is called Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving was about

the Pilgrims, the first settlers in America. They shared the first harvest with

the Indians and gave thanks.

Thanksgiving Day is usually a family day. People always celebrate with big

dinners and happy reunions. Pumpkin pie and Indian pudding are traditional

Thanksgiving desserts. Relatives from other cities, students who have been away

at school, and many other Americans travel a long distance to spend the holiday

at home.

On that day, Americans give thanks for the blessings they have enjoyed

during the year. And I am sure that we all must have a lot to be thankful for.

Maybe you would like to give thanks for being here with your family and for

being well,or give thanks for a healthy year, a good job,or thank your friends

for encouraging you when you are in dismay,etc.
