新年了!过新年了!

我和爸爸妈妈要去爷爷奶奶家过年了。妈妈透过窗户看见外面下起了鹅毛大雪,说我们早点走吧。爸爸拿起一大包礼物我们就出发了。一路上我透过透明的玻璃窗看见到处一片洁白。到了爷爷奶奶家,我看见爷爷奶奶家门口的左边堆着一个大雪人,门上贴着倒过来的福字。妈妈伸手咚咚咚地敲了门,门开了,我眉开颜笑地对爷爷奶奶说:“祝爷爷奶奶虎年快乐,寿比南山!”爷爷奶奶笑呵呵地说:“祝宝宝新年快乐、学习进步!"妈妈和奶奶握了握手,说:“祝爸爸妈妈身体健康,新年快乐!”

除夕放烟火,是我和弟弟爸爸早就准备好的活动。一到晚上,我们全家人一起热热闹闹地吃年夜饭,还没吃完,我和弟弟就抢着下楼放烟火。一来到楼下,我们找了块空地。爸爸点着了一个大烟火,只听见轰的一声,一簇红色的烟火飞上了夜空,发出“叭、叭”的响声。随着响声,烟火在空中形成五彩缤纷的礼花,又突然落下,像天女散花;有的像星星那样散落在空中,像流星追月。等了好长时间,大烟火才放完。

我和弟弟开始放各种各样的小烟火。小烟火有的叫樱花,有的叫蝴蝶花,还有的叫魔棒。蝴蝶花放出来会旋转,我和弟弟有点害怕不敢放。我喜欢放魔棒和樱花。我把点着的魔棒插在草地上,石头的窟窿里。魔棒点着引线后,不断地发出哧,哧,哧的声音。

随着响声,落下了许许多多的小星星。弟弟也学着我的样子,把点着的魔棒插在草地上,把樱花拿在手中摇动。这些五彩缤纷的烟火,把除夕的夜晚点缀得十分靓丽。小烟火就像小星星、小火花在一起翩翩起舞,和我们一起迎接新年的到来。

小学英语实习日记

2.28星期二晴

今天是实习授课的第二天,我早早地准备好今天讲课的内容,但真的要上课时,我心里却不免有点紧张,因为昨天是我第一次上讲台用自己的方式去向学生传授知识啊!今天在上新课之前,我必须先要把昨天的内容

简单复习一下,这可正是对我教的好坏一个全面的检验......上课了,我表面上镇定自如地走上了讲台。一些常规的课堂程序之后,我开始了课堂复习步骤,出乎意料的是学生们反应迅速,对答如流。说真心话,看到这我心里真的感到无比喜悦。

晚上回到家,想起白天上课的情景,我感慨颇多,我想我真正体味到了劳动并享受着劳动后的成果的愉悦了。当然,在物欲横流的现代社会,这个观念也许会显得有些陈旧和俗套,但它却有着与生俱来的独特的古朴、风韵和精华。我们不能将快乐简单地理解为物质利益的获得和某种非精神意味的享受,快乐与否在于我们自身、我们的付出和我们的感受。由此我想到现在的学习,很长的一段时间,我都因没有进入理想的学府而怨天尤人,失却快乐。其实不断的学习便是一种快乐,奋进着永不放弃,需要不断体验快乐来支撑。不久的将来,我会成为一名人民教师,我会辛勤地工作,用心地去教书育人,我相信我一定能在平凡、艰苦中感受到欣慰和快乐。

3.3星期五小雨

今天是我实习的最后一天。因为课程安排在上午一、二两节,所以我得起早,偏偏天公不作美,下着小雨,清晨躺在床上的我真的不想起床,看看表,哎呀!快六点了,再不起来就会迟到了,可是由于昨晚备课到很晚加上心里一直惦记着今天要起早。所以整夜没睡好,夜里醒了好几次,真不想起床啊......然而想到那些学生们,我自问“我有理由迟到吗?”最后我终于没有给我的实习留下什么遗憾,事后我却想了许多,也明白了由立志到实现目标非常关键的一点就在于坚持。坚持对于我们来说都是再熟悉不过的字眼,可是真正把握住它的人却凤毛麟角,坚持需要毅力,需要对目标价值的深切期望和正确估价,有时甚至需要人格力量来支撑。事情的成功有时往往便在于我们能否坚持那关键的一步,走过去,前面就可能是另一番海阔天空,而习惯了坚持,久而久之,这一信念范畴的东西便会逐渐地融入我们的个性之中,成为一种素养,一种道德,现在的我们马上面临毕业,就要踏入社会了,或许一些人会认为到了现在我们可以不再努力,毕业后找份工作,那便是一生了。如果这样的话,那么我们就永远失去了成就某种事业的机会。事实上作为师范专业的学生,我们更应该树立正确的劳动观念和道德意识。为人师表,认真而严肃的从事自己所热爱的事业,愉快而充实的度过我们平凡的一生。、

小学英语实习日记二

在小学实习的每一天都是充满意义与欢乐的,每一天每一名学生都能给我带来新的体验与感悟,我看到他们在成长,在变成一个越来越懂事的大孩子。放学后的路上,甚至不知不觉走过了头儿,又折了回去。回到寝室,我激动的心情溢于言表!但总感觉无论我用多么感人肺腑的话语,都无法比拟这一天在学校度过的令我感动的、难忘的点点滴滴!

充实的一天

今天是忙碌的,整整一个上午,都是在不断的听写英语、督促同学们学习中度过的,下课了,我就立刻找那些英语单词背不好的孩子听写,课上,便马不停蹄的批作业,并且时刻盯着宇,让她学习。我是喜欢和她一起学习的,感觉她是有那种学习的热情的,可以给我以感染力,又让我充满动力与激情。她也是听话的,只是稍微不仔细了一些,慢慢改正,应该是可以的。

让优秀坚持下去

中午批数学卷时,我分配给了几名学生,他们都欣然接受了,只有艾不想批,我对她说:“你不是答应老师可以做值日班长吗?为什么又不要做了?优秀是需要坚持的,今天优秀,明天就不了那算不上优秀。”艾似乎觉得有道理,便争着要批卷了。在我看来,艾是个心灵手巧、善于观察的小姑娘,只是有时候不太注意自己是在一个集体中,总做一些特立独行的事情,但这些并不影响她成为一个优秀的人,如果她能把这份优秀一直坚持下去,那真的是不可估量啊!

肩负一份责任

今天,我考了很多同学英语单词,并且让她们的同桌考他们第二轮、第三轮,直到全对为止,其中就有一直很愿意帮助同学的卓,她真是个温文尔雅的好姑娘。还有一个就是让我刮目相看的达,我一直认为学习好的同学只会学习,不会帮助别人,但这一观点,将从今天起转变。我让达督促他的同桌然背单词,达尽职尽责,不仅监督然学习,还一字一句的教他。中午,我见然回到教室开始学习,虽说是在补之前欠的债,但我还是很欣喜的,不多久,达也回来了,是回来帮助然的,着实让我很受感动。在达身上,我看到了一份对同学无私奉献的爱和他那弱小的肩上支起的坚定的责任!相比之下,辛,你要加油了!今天就你没有考呀,至少该对自己负责吧,期待可以看到你主动来找我听写哦!

把机会让给他

下午上了一节令人震撼的语文公开课,不仅因为老师和同学们精彩的配合,更是因为那个多次发言的禹(同学们说他“外刚内萌”,感觉很有趣)。在这节课快要下课时,老师再次点到了他,但他并没有急于回答,而是说:“老师,我把这个机会让给我的同桌,因为他也总举手,可是一次机会也没有得到。”顿时,听课的老师们被禹的回答说笑了,包括安老师也包括我,这个笑绝对不是嘲笑,也不是搞笑,而是一种欣慰的笑,一种赞赏的笑。在大家都急于表现自己的时候,禹的这种友情、这种谦让,让所有人为他竖起大拇指,又怎能不令我感动呢?

[导语:At the dawn of the new year, I wish you all a happy new school be promoted step by step.]

新年愿望英语篇一

I earnestly hope to lead a healthy and prosperous life in the future. Judging from my aptitude inclination and personality streaks, my ideal life will be that of a scientist, researching, lecturing, and writing books. As I am from a farming family, I particularly enjoy being close to earth. If I can afford to live a pastoral life in the countryside, I will feel most blessed. As far as social life is concerned, simplicity is what I intend to pursue, so I really dont need too many friends. All these will be mere talk if I am idle now. To attain my goal, I must make a point of training my body and mind. This is a highly competitive society in which everyone is eager to come out on top. That is not only a competition of physical strength and mental power, but a marathon of patience, faith, and perseverance. Life is not all roses, but with what I am being equipped with by the top teachers in this elite school, I surely deserve a promising prospect.

篇20:关于科学家的英语作文小学

全文共 1837 字

+ 加入清单

Here is a difference between science and technology.Science is a method of

answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical

problems. Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships between

observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to

organize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with

tools,techniques, and procedures for implementing the findings of science.

Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the

progress in each. Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who

seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth with the highest degree of

accuracy and certainty, cannot pay heed to their own or other peoples likes or

dislikes, or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists

discover may shock or anger people--as did Darwins theory of evolution. But

even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the

option of refusing to believe it! But hardly so with technology;we do not have

the option of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic

aircraft-flying overhead; we do not have the option of refusing to breathe

polluted air. Unlike science, progress in technology must be our slave and not

the reverse. The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve peopie--people in

general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely those who

presently wish to gain advantage for themselves.

We are all familiar with the abuses of technology. Many people blame

technology itself for widespread pollution, resource depletion and even social

decay in general--so much so that the promise of technology is obscured. That

promise is a cleaner and healthier world. If wise applications of science and

technology do not lead to a better world, what else will?
