记得第一次乘飞机,是在一个暑假,我和爸爸妈妈准备去西安旅游。登机前的那个晚上我怎么也睡不着,因为在新闻里总是会听到:“某某号飞机失事,某某号飞机迷路。”想到这些,我心里还真有一丝害怕。

第二天,我们来到了虹桥机场,那里人山人海。我们买好了机票,登上了飞机,找到了位置坐下来。位置正好是靠窗的。飞机里有空调、电视机,美丽温柔的空姐不停地给我们送点心、茶水等,我紧张的心情稍稍平复了一点。飞机开始滑行了,先是在地面慢慢地滑了一圈,然后用最快的速度往前直滑,突然飞机飞起来了,就像火箭一样往上飞,在那个时候,我感觉胸口很闷,耳朵里的耳膜很痛。过了一会儿,飞机平稳了。我望着窗外,飞机飞得真高啊,地上的房子看起来就像一个个火柴盒,人呢,像一粒粒小种子。我以为到了这样的高度就不再往上了,没想到飞机还在往上升。终于,它飞到了云层的上面。啊,我好象到了天堂,头上是碧蓝纯净的`天空,像一块巨大的没有一丝杂质的蓝玉;脚下是大片大片的云朵,飘飘渺渺,我感觉,也许孙悟空会驾着筋斗云来到舷窗边,问问我上天的心情呢。

过了大约两小时,飞机从高空往下降,下降时我的心就像鼓棰在使劲地敲击,跳动的速度加快了,一下子蹦到了嗓子口似的。终于到达了目的地,我意犹未尽,走下了舷梯。回头望望,飞机犹如一只巨鸟,静静地停在飞机场上。

乘飞机原来很有趣啊。

我慢慢的长大了,还没来得及抓住时间,它就像火箭一样从眼前划过,只是那么一瞬间,不留下一点儿印迹。我觉得,长大就是一种烦恼。幼儿园、一年级、二年级、三年级的时光就这样从我身边很快走过,只留下最后的缓冲。

小时候,我的压力很轻,可现在去很重很重;小时候,我的生活无忧无虑,可现在,却烦恼多多。我觉得,长大就是一种压力。

晚上,我睡着做了个梦。梦中听到“主人,你许五个愿望,我会很快帮你实现……”我连忙说“我想学习没压力,生活没忧愁;我想永远快乐,每次做题都是全对,还能有很多时间玩……”

“你的愿望有的我能帮你实现,有的得靠你自己啊!”

是的,其实压力是自己给自己加的,只有自己放下包袱,迎着压力而上,那压力就会变成动力的。长大的感觉就是这样。我要动手动脑,以后就不会有烦恼和压力了。

每天9点,奶奶总会提着菜篮子向菜场进军,那样子可神气了。每次奶奶总是大袋小袋塞满菜篮子,真上满载而归,好有成就感啊!

终于,我获得了奶奶的批准帮她去买菜,那一刻我高兴地无法形容。

我提着菜篮子在菜市场里转了一圈又一圈,一个小贩还没有等到我走过去,就远远地叫道:小朋友,你要买什么菜啊?我这里的菜应有尽有,而且物美价廉,过了这村就没有这店了。那些小贩表面上越是热情,我心里就犯嘀咕。我常常听大人们说,小贩笑里藏刀,表面笑嘻嘻的,暗地里坏透了,一直坏到骨头里,像注水猪就是他们的杰作。而卖菜不是缺斤少两,就是乱抬菜价。

最后,我决定到菜场门口,那位看起来诚实朴素的老大爷那买菜。来到老大爷的菜摊前,我东瞧瞧,西看看,怎么也拿不定主意。老大爷笑呵呵地问:小朋友,你想买什么呢?要不买点茄子吧

我们这的茄子是出了名的好吃。看着老爷爷那诚恳的目光,我心中的怀疑立刻消失了一半。我自己拿了几根自己认为很不错的茄子

递给了老大爷,让他秤一秤。老大爷麻利的一称,立马说道:刚好3元钱。我心想:爸爸总是说卖菜的人是缺斤少两,可是我又不会看秤,这可怎么办呢?

老大爷好像看出了我的心思,对我说:小朋友,你放100个心吧,我每天都在这里卖菜,我绝对不会骗你的。听了这话我像吃了一颗定心丸,我立马掏出钱来,付完钱,我又以飞一样的速度跑回了家。

这一次买菜我终于完成了任务,不负重望。我同时也懂得了许多道理,人和人之间虽然有很多陷阱,但还是有诚信可言的。

篇6:给小学六年级儿子的一封信

亲爱的宝贝:

天天看着你在眼皮底下成长,真的从来就没有想过要给你写,原谅妈妈对你的忽视。

知道吗,儿子,你一直是我的骄傲,你秉承了父母的运动天赋,你是那样的阳光——单踢、盘踢、单摇、双摇(多次在运动会上夺冠折桂),口琴、竖笛、二胡,都吹奏得像模像样,乒乓球打得有板有眼,最近又迷恋上了篮球,下周将代表全校参加县少儿篮球赛,真不知道你身上到底蕴藏了多少能量!你简直就是爸爸的绝世再版,我爱你,宝贝。

看你静静地遨游在书海中,我是那样的欣慰。也许是那不幸的童年,我深深地知道书籍对一个孩子的成长是多么重要。能在你身上实现我儿时的梦想,我感到了做人的成功,做母亲的成功,谢谢你儿子!我殷切地希望你能再次重温我给你买的《假如给我三天光明》、《林肯

富兰克林自传》、《快乐王子》------我衷心期待你身上的阳光味中透着书香气。

也许是做教师做久了的缘故,我对你的学习要求近乎苛求。面对你不尽如人意的成绩,我态度粗暴,可打过、骂过后,我是那么的自责。看着你哭泣的脸蛋,我的心比刀绞还痛苦。你要知道,你不是不够聪明,只是不够努力,你只要养成勤于笔记,认真复习的良好习惯,你的成绩一定很优秀的。我们都改一改,一起努力。

你上六年级了,遇到了三位年轻的男教师,这是多么幸运啊,他们都那么优秀,你要好好学习他们渊博的知识,更要向他们学习做人的道理。

再过几个月,你将升入初中,将越飞越远,越飞越高。没有了妈妈的庇护,你要学会坚强,自理,友善,忍耐。有机会我们要多交流,彼此说说老师,同学,朋友间的趣事,你可以给我QQ留言,可以在我博客踩踩,呵呵。

最后,祝福我的宝贝:永远健康快乐,学业有成!

永远挚爱你的妈妈

随着《卡农》开始,正在做题的我稍稍抬了抬头,微微一笑。这琴声可能对别人来说十分普通,甚至弹得不那么精彩。但对我来说却有一份特殊的意义。

弹琴人是楼上的一个姐姐。因为住在同一个单元楼,她晚上练琴时,那琴声就在我们家中回荡,似乎每天晚上都能听到这琴声。开始的几天,我和妈妈都没有注意到它——毕竟本来琴声就不大,加上家里的杂音,声音就更小了。但是由于琴声每个晚上都会响起,不久,我和妈妈便注意到了它。

我忘不了第一次听到琴声时眼前出现的画面:我仿佛在一片绿油油的草地上,微风习习,树叶沙沙作响。我躺在草地上,望着蓝天白云,心里十分的惬意……每到晚上,我和妈妈都会聆听这场“免费音乐会”。妈妈一边听,一边发出阵阵感叹:“多优美的曲子呀!多动听的旋律啊!这姑娘弹得真是不错!”

时间在一天天流逝,这琴声似乎变得越来越美妙、动听了。

一天晚上,在听琴的时候,妈妈感叹似的说了一句话:“你听,楼上的小姐姐每天都弹琴,越弹越好,这就是勤奋哇!你什么时候能像这样,我就不用操心了。”说者无意,听者有心。我心里一震:对呀!这琴声每天都会响起,我应该把这琴声当成我前进的动力!自那天起,我就暗下决心,一定要勤奋!从这天起,每天晚上回来我都会认真地学习,如果劳累了,就听一下琴声,勉励自己。

每到晚上,楼上的琴声都会隐隐约约的穿过墙壁,徘徊在家中。谢谢你,姐姐;谢谢你,琴声!你们给了我动力!有你,真好!

回想起在小学时开的“好书推荐会”,我的话儿可就多了。

那天,一缕缕温柔的阳光透过明亮的玻璃窗,射在刚擦过的黑板上,“好书推荐会”五个大字,在金色阳光的映衬下,显得格外醒目。

“生活中没有书籍,就好像没有阳光;智慧里没有书籍,就好像鸟儿没有翅膀……”中队长周明明充满激情地拉开了活动的序幕。“高尔基说,‘书是人类进步阶梯’!”蔡亚静也不甘示弱,“唐代诗人杜甫是这样说的,‘读书破万卷,下笔如有神’。”……一段段精彩的名言,赢来同学们的阵阵掌声。

“小百灵”许美凤走上讲台,举着一本书对大家说“我这里有一本书,书名是《好歌唱不完》,我跟它学了许多好听的歌曲。下面,我为大家唱一首《我爱你,塞北的雪》。”在一阵热烈的掌声中,许美风同学边歌边舞,把大家带进了美妙的境界。

“同学们,你们知道为什么镜子能照出人影来?为什么螃蟹横着爬行?为什么泥鳅会长胡子呢?为什么……”“小博士”磊磊一上台,便连珠炮似的提出一连串的为什么。我们个个目瞪口呆。只见他从背后掏出一本《十万个为什么》扬了扬说:“同学们,看了这本书。什么问题都难不倒你们了。……

“好书推荐会”结束了,让我们以书相伴,以好书为友,酿造智慧的甜浆!“好书推荐会”真让我难以忘怀。

在过去的20xx年里,发生了许多事,如:举办残奥会,温州动车事件,但这些过去的事并不重要,因为新的一年,20xx年来到了。

今年,我在老家——诸暨,过年。下午,爸爸,妈妈,大伯,爷爷,奶奶,忙碌着做年夜饭,而我和哥哥,则在一旁打游戏。

夜幕很快就降临了,我们守候在餐桌前,看着爸爸和大伯端上来的一道道美味佳肴,这里面有香气四溢的酥鱼,肥而不腻的红烧肉,也有酸甜可口的糖醋里脊和糖醋排骨,还有鲜辣美味的多椒鱼头,令人目不暇接,看着看着,肚子以“咕咕”的唱起了交响曲,闲话不多说,我们开吃了,先尝一尝香气四溢的酥鱼,在喝一喝鲜辣美味的多椒鱼头,我和哥哥吃着一碗又一碗的米饭,这可不是应为我们胃口大,只能怪精心准备的饭菜太好吃了。虽然我肚子里已经装不下了,但我嘴巴里还在嚼着,没办法,因此,我只好忍痛割爱。哎!这也就是没有办法的办法。至于红包嘛!早已在之前,钻进了我的口袋里。

吃完了年夜饭,可肚子也随之大了起来,现在要放鞭炮了,哥哥带来的鞭炮,可谓就是五花八门,其中,有火炬模样的,有那种一长串的,也有航天火箭似的,还有像老虎的,我们拿出一小部分鞭炮,把导火线点燃,过了一会儿,“砰,碰,噼里啪啦”

鞭炮炸开了花,响声如雷,颜色五彩缤纷,形态各异,有的好似美利达圣火,有的仿佛就是金黄色的流星,还有的像运河边上那翠绿的垂柳,真可谓就是刘姥姥进了大观园——眼花缭乱。在这一阵阵爆竹声,我不禁想到了这句诗:“爆竹声中一岁除,新春送暖入屠舒”。

然而,此时此刻,龙年的脚步已经临近了,龙年的钟声即将敲响······

我就要毕业了,在这二千多个日子里,我们就像一株幼苗,受老师的灌溉。似乎在教室里还有我们那琅琅的读书声,在操场上还有缭绕着我们的嬉戏声,在校园里还有我们欢笑的身影……在每一个脚落,我们都曾留下过难忘的回忆。

在母校的教育下,我们得到了许多。我们得到了许多朋友,得到了许多新知识,使我们成为遵守纪律、彬彬有礼的学生。我们得到了许多美好的回忆和难忘的往事,更多的得到了今后为人处事的指南针……但是我们现在就要毕业了,漠然回首,仿佛督促我们的老师,鼓励我们的师长,还有可爱美丽的校园,都要从我们的歌声中消失。而且,不知何时我们已成为校园中的大哥哥大姐姐了,成为弟弟妹妹的榜样。

如今我们就要毕业了,老师的教诲,我们琅琅的读书声,同学们的欢笑声,都还围绕在耳边,把我最后留校的几天,再看一看可爱美丽的校园,再看一看教导我们的师长,再看一看鼓励我们的同学,珍惜最后几天相处的日子。

天下没有不散的宴席,光阴一去不复返,让我们永远记住师长的教育,做个有作为的人。

In modern society, most people are under the higher pressure than ever

before and some people cannot handle the stress well and choose some extreme

ways to avoid or settle their stress.However, is stress a bad thing? As far as I

am concerned, everything has two coins, and we also need to realize it from two

aspects.

For one thing, stress is a kind of mental burden caused by nervousness or

anxiety. In modern society, stress is mostly caused by the high requirements or

heavy burden from surroundings or us, such as stress from peers or stress in

economy. If we cannot handle the stress well, we would be easy to be in a

negative mood and lost our motivation and courage to keep going or struggle with

difficulties. In this aspect, stress is a threat for our body and mental.

However, for another, stress can also be changed into a kind of motivation

if we handle it well. For example, when you find that you are surpassed by your

classmates in an examination, you feel stressful but at the same time, you also

tell yourself that you need to work harder to surpass him next time. Under this

stress, you will find yourself have more motivation and energy to study. In this

point, stress is a propeller for us to get more improvements.

Thus, we need to use a dialectical method to treat stress and handle it

properly。

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?
