篇1:圣诞节送给英语老师的一封信
全文共 1579 字
+ 加入清单Dear Miss Luo,
hello
A year has slipped away from our laughter between our eyes, and we should say goodbye to you. Although we only wanted to work for a short year, you left me a deeper impression than the foreign teacher who taught me for five years.
I used to think that Chinese class is a boring thing, but since I know you, I like Chinese class.
First of all, I think you love to encourage classmates. When I answer questions in class, if the answer is right, you will look at me with happy eyes and ask me to make persistent efforts. If I got it wrong, you encouraged me with a gentle voice and spoke to the whole class about my problem. Whether I am right or wrong, I feel happy.
Secondly, I think you are very earnest and meticulous in doing things. For example, when we borrowed arrows from the grass boat, you not only let us learn the surface meaning, but also took us to study the text deeply. To my surprise, you also let us listen to the pingshu, to stimulate the interest of the students, so that the students learn more practical.
You still love to delay, I used to think that it is to deprive me of time to play, but a long time I understand the love for us then, let us learn more knowledge.
Finally, I think you are very concerned about the students, once, there was no meal in the canteen, the students had to be hungry, but you did not ignore, but to invite them to eat noodles.
All in all, you are wonderful, admirable and unforgettable. It seems that this is the main reason that you are better than my original teacher!
I wish you success in your work!
Your students

I listened and jumped three feet high with joy. As soon as my mother went home, my father and I went out to eat. On the way, I saw a smiling face on the face of the pedestrians tonight, giving people a feeling of peace and warmth. Walking to the gate of International Building, a warm stream was felt, the cold wind outside the glass door was piercing, and the door was pushed into the warm spring. The Santa Claus in the building waved to us all the time. The green trees of the Christmas tree were covered with thousands of colorful lanterns. Twinkling and twinkling eyes blinked.
When I entered the building, I went straight to the 2 building, and a Christmas song was raged in the western restaurant. A photo of an amiable Santa Claus on the wall. I was sitting on a table with my father, mother and aunts and aunts. All of us were like a big family. It wasnt long before those delicious dishes came. At the sight of the fragrant duck, I cant control myself again and eat it. After I finished these delicious fun, I and many children ran in for a while to see the International Building and courteous and accessible Santa, for a while to see the Christmas tree that a riot of colours of light.
Christmas is a good holiday for gifts. When I was young, I always dreamed that one day Santa could come to my house and give me a nice Christmas gift. When I grew up, I knew that when I was a child, those gifts were sent by mom and dad. Todays Christmas, I pestered my father and mother to give me a gift. Mother told me with a smile. The mother laughed and told me, "tomorrow morning you wake up, Santas gift will be returned." Although I knew the gift was sent by my father and mother, I still put a pair of socks on the head of the bed at night. I woke up in the morning and found a 35 dollar book stuck in my socks. I was so happy that I jumped on the bed and yelled, "long live Santa Claus!" I went to school with a book card to show off to my classmates.
I love Christmas!

maybe the spring festival is much more important and interesting than christmas, but i like christmas day better. because we can spend time with our friends and classmates during christmas. when it is snowy,
christmas becomes much more lovely, just like in fairytales. i can imagine i am in a fairytale, the girl who sold the matches is my friend, the ugly duck becoming more and more beautiful and so on. what a beautiful place! so we can also call christmas “snowy lovely day.”
on christmas day, shops are red and green. there are so many christmas cards, christmas hats, christmas dolls and many colourful things. so shops look very beautiful. we can give a card or a doll to our friends and say “merry christmas.” by the way, i think studying can also become much more interesting.
我喜欢圣诞节,它就像我们的春节。
也许春节比圣诞节更重要和有趣的,但我更喜欢圣诞节。因为我们可以花时间与我们的朋友和同学在圣诞节期间。当它下雪的,
圣诞节变得更加可爱,就像在童话。我可以想象我在童话中,卖火柴的女孩是我的朋友,丑陋的鸭子越来越漂亮等等。一个美丽的地方!所以我们也可以叫圣诞“雪可爱的一天。”
在圣诞节,商店是红色和绿色。有很多圣诞卡,圣诞帽、圣诞娃娃和许多五颜六色的东西。所以商店看起来很漂亮。我们可以给我们的朋友和一个卡或一个娃娃说“圣诞快乐。“顺便说一下,我觉得学习也可以变得更有趣。

+ 加入清单We get presents from each other, we all love each other.
I didnt know there was a Christmas before.
Now, I know that Christmas is the day when Santa Claus gives presents to children.
Because there are too many homework exams, because theres too much homework to do, and when I think about Christmas this year, its December 25th night. I spoke to my mother and said, "Mom, I havent had Christmas yet."!" Mother said, "Christmas is a foreign festival, which is equivalent to our Spring Festival.". We are nothing but foreigners festivals, and we celebrate our spring festival!" I said, "but I thought too much about Christmas."! Why cant Santa just give me presents?" Mom eyeball a turn, stooping, smiling at me: "Santa Claus will also distribute the gift to you!" My eyes lit up, staring big eyes, eager to ask: "really?" Where? Where is it?" My mother smiled and said: "as long as you actively to contribute, in a few days, Santa Claus will send you a gift to myself!" Once I heard it, I ran into the study room and ran and said, "Ill write it now."!" My mother was happy again, and I laughed happily.

+ 加入清单On Christmas Eve and Christmas Eve is a special day for me. Why is that? Because mom and dad said to me: "there will be a Santa Claus on Christmas Eve to send gift, but he only for the children, and children also write CARDS to write down what you want to put the CARDS, Christmas stockings, good!"
The next day morning Christmas stockings will have the same thing, but sometimes a gift is not necessarily what you want. This let me doubt on Christmas night the elk, dressed in red, carrying a big bag of Santa Claus is my parents.
I ever want to get up in the middle of the night to see who is Santa Claus? But every time I think of to see, couldnt climb up, because Im on the bed like a dead pig sleep soundly, simply couldnt climb up! Remember one year, my wish is to: 1. Hope the family healthy body 2. Hope the family dont worry about me that kind of desire... And so on.
平安夜和圣诞夜对我来说是一个特别的日子。为什么呢?因为爸爸妈妈都对我说:“平安夜会有圣诞老人送礼物,可是他只给乖小孩,而且小朋友还要写卡片把自己想要的写上去再把卡片放圣诞袜里,就好了!”
隔天早上起来圣诞袜里就会有一样东西,可是有时候礼物不一定是自己想要的。这让我怀疑在平安夜里架着糜鹿、身穿红衣、背着大袋子的圣诞老人其实是我的父母。
我曾经想过在半夜爬起来看圣诞老人到底是谁?不过每次我想起来看时,都爬不起来,因为我一上床就像死猪一样睡得很熟,根本就爬不起来!记得有一年,我的愿望是:1.希望全家人身体健康2.希望家人不要为我担心这一类的愿望……等。
篇14:圣诞节的起源_英语作文
全文共 1950 字
+ 加入清单The name Christmas is short for "Christs Mass". A Mass is a kind of Church service. Christmas is a religious festival. It is the day we celebrate as the birthday of Jesus.
There are special Christmas services in Christian churches all over the world. But many of the festivities of Christmas do not have anything to do with religion. Exchanging gifts and sending Christmas cards are the modern ways of celebrating the Christmas in the world.
The birth of Jesus had a story: In Nazareth, a city of Galilee. The virgins name was Mary was betrothed to Joseph. Before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband was minded to put her away secretly. While he thought about these things, Gabriel, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and told him did not be afraid to take Mary as wife. And Mary will bring forth a Son, and he shall call his name, Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.
Before Jesus births, Joseph and Mary came to Quintus was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up out of Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and of the lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. So it was that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. And that, Christmas is the feast of the nativity of Jesus, is on 25th, December every year. But nobody know the actual birthday of Jesus. And the Christmas has become popular when Christmas cards appeared in 1846 and the concept of a jolly Santa Claus was first made popular in nineteenth Century.
圣诞节的起源,圣诞节是基督徒庆祝耶稣基督诞生的庆祝日,圣诞节这个词的含义是指“基督的弥撒(Christs mass)”,即为“基督的一次聚餐”。这个仪式源自《新约》的“最后的晚餐”。

篇19:关于圣诞节的英语作文
全文共 3348 字
+ 加入清单the original santa claus, st. nicholas, was born in the ancient southeastern turkish town of lycia early in the fourth century. his generosity was legend, and he was particularly fond of children. we know this primarily through roman accounts of his patronage of youth, which eventually led to his becoming the patron saint of children. throughout the middle ages, and well beyond, he was referred to by many names none of them santa claus.
children today would not at all recognize the st. nick who brought gifts to european children hundreds of years ago except perhaps for his cascading white beard. he made his rounds in full red-and-white bishops robes, complete with twin peaked miter and crooked crozier. he was pulled by no fleet footed reindeer, but coaxed in indolent donkey. and he arrived not late on christmas eve, but on his christian feast day, december 6. the gifts he left beside the hearth were usually small: fruit, nuts, hard candies, wood and clay figurines.
during the protestant reformation of the sixteenth century, st. nicholas was banished from most european countries. replacing him were more secular figures, who in general were not at center stage at that point in history..the dutch kept the st. nicholas tradition alive. as the "protector of sailors," st. nicholas graced the prow of the first dutch ship that arrived in america. and the first church built in new york city was named after him. the dutch brought with them to the new world two christmas items that were quickly americanized.
in sixteenth century holland, children placed wooden shoes by the hearth the night of st. nicholass arrival. the shoes were filled with straw, a meal for the saints gift laden donkey. in return, nicholas would insert a small treat into each clog. in america, the shoe was replaced with the stocking, hung by the chimney.
the dutch spelled st. nicholas "saint nikolass," which in the new world became "sinterklass". later changed to "santa claus".
much of modern day santa claus lore, including the reindeer drawn sleigh, originated in america. dr. clement clarke moore composed "the night before christmas" in 1822, to read to his children on christmas eve. the poem might have remained privately in the moore family if a friend had not mailed a copy of it (without authorial attribution) to a newspaper and became part of the santa legend.
it was in america that santa put on weight. the rosy-cheeked, roly-poly santa is credited to the influential nineteenth-century cartoonist thomas nast. from 1863 until 1886, nast created a series of christmas drawings for harpers weekly. these drawings, executed over twenty years, exhibit a gradual evolution in santa from the pudgy, diminutive, elf-like creature of dr. moores immortal poem to the bearded, potbellied, life-size bell ringer familiar on street corners across america today. nasts cartoons also showed the world how santa spent his entire year constructing toys, checking on childrens behavior, reading their requests for special gifts. his images were incorporated into the santa lore.
santa is known throughout the world in many different names, such as:
saint nikolaas (sinter klaas), from the dutch father christmas, from the english kris kringle, from the germans befana, from the italians bobouschka, from the russians (a grand motherly figure instead of a male)
