四年级圣诞节英语作文【汇总20篇】

今天晚上，我去上英语课外班。上课时，英语CANDY老师教我们了一个英语小寓言，名字叫CityMouseandCountryMouse（城市老鼠和乡下老鼠）。这个寓言特别有意思，一只城市老鼠乘公交车去乡下看望他的老兄——乡下老鼠。他看见了在田野上有好多奶牛、马、池塘、篱笆、鸟。这时，他的表兄张下老鼠说：“你好，表弟，见到你很高兴。”

过了一会儿，城市老鼠不高兴了，说：“我好饿，可这里却没食物，还冷。还不如去城市，我可以让你住我的公寓，那里很暖和。”乡下老鼠说：“好，走吧！”

他们来到城市老鼠的家——一座公寓里。他们看见牛奶和奶酪放在一个大桌子上，正准备吃，却有一只猫要吃掉它们。乡下老鼠不想过惊险的日子，只好回到了乡下。

学完这篇小故事，老师要让我们表演，我很高兴，因为我最喜欢表演了。老师把全班16个同学分成四组，有四个角色：城市老鼠、乡下老鼠、大花猫、旁白。我和TINA、LILY1、DANG一组，我演乡下老鼠，TINA濱城市老鼠、LILY1演大花猫，DANG读旁白。

开始表演了，TINA假装坐着公交车来到乡下，我友好地打招呼，我们来到城市，我很惊讶，开心。我们表演得声情并茂，有时还加上小动作。4个小组表演完后，老师还说我们小组表演得最出色。

这个故事很有意思，同时我们表演得也很棒哦！

the history of christmas

christmas is a christian holiday that celebrates the birth of jesus christ. no one knows the exact date of christ‘s birth, but most christians observe christmas on december 25. on this day, many go to church, where they take part in special religious services. during the christmas season, they also exchange gifts and decorate their homes with holly, mistletoe, and christmas trees. the word christmas comes from cristes maesse, an early english phrase that means mass of christ. the story of christmas comes chiefly from the gospels of saint luke and saint matthew in the new testament.

the history of christmas dates back over 4000 years. many of our christmas traditions were celebrated centuries before the christ child was born. the 12 days of christmas, the bright fires, the yule log, the giving of gifts, carnivals(parades) with floats, carolers who sing while going from house to house, the holiday feasts, and the church processions can all be traced back to the early mesopotamians.

many of these traditions began with the mesopotamian celebration of new years. the mesopotamians believed in many gods, and as their chief god-marduk. each year as winter arrived it was believed that marduk would do battle with the monsters of chaos. to assist marduk in his struggle the mesopotamians held a festival for the new year. this was zagmuk, the new year‘s festival that lasted for 12 days.

[圣诞节的来历英语作文

《资治通鉴》里有言：经师易得，人师难求。正所谓“名师出高徒”，只有一位好的老师才能够教出一位好的学生，这也是众人皆知的。但是想找到一位好的老师是多么难。于是，我又想起了我的英语老师-----Ms Yan。

记得她第一次给我们上英语课时，我们特别激动-----马上就要学英语了。“你们愿意学习英语吗？”她一脸笑容地问我们。“愿意！”“你们想学好英语吗？”“想！”这勾起了我们极大的兴趣，从此，我们的英语课开始活跃起来。

后来，英语越来越难，我听着一个个英语单词，可以用四个字来形容----稀里糊涂。成绩一直中上中下的我，在课堂上就是个“隐形人”，现在变得更“隐形”了。但这样一件事改变了我的命运：刚上四年级，我的死对头蒋文就把我的英语书往对台上一丢，再也找不回来了，我只好看同桌的，但更多时间，傲慢的同桌总是把手一遮，我只好一个人读着“望天书”，但Msyan注意到了，向我询问了原因后，给了我一本崭新的英语书。在分组时，她还让我当上了英语小组长。从此，我开始认真学习英语了。功夫不负有心人，期末考试时，我的英语成绩赶上了一大截，我的信心也越来越大了。

暑假里，我不假思索地报了她的补习班。她仍推行她的加分制，并给我们每个人都取了英文名字，并在每周对加分高的小组进行奖励，大大提高了我们的兴趣、积极性，参与性也越来越浓。更绝的是，她让我们看动画片学音标，记得特别牢。

升上五年级，我的英语成绩已经大幅度上升了，这对于英文一窍不通的我是一个转折性的改变。这是奇迹吗？不-------这是我的英语启蒙老师对我的关心与鼓励。

我真诚地对她说一声：“Thankyou！”

On the way, there was a Christmas atmosphere everywhere. In front of the store stood a large and small "Christmas tree", white glass with cotton candy. The stationery shops Santa Claus pencil bag is even more attractive.

When they came to the school, they were all studying in the classroom, and no one was aware of the "broken jade" scattered by the fairies outside the window.

圣诞节那天，天格外寒冷。但寒冷的天气丝毫也挡不住圣诞节快乐的脚步。街上的商店门前都摆上了美丽的圣诞树，超市里的员工也戴上了可爱的圣诞帽。看着这些，我们这些小鬼心里乐开了花。因而，举办一场别开生面的圣诞庆祝会的想法便油然而生。

经过策划，下午我们在黑板上画上了大胡子圣诞老人，在窗户上喷上了洁白的雪花，还在教室中央放上了一棵缀满星星的圣诞树。同学们围着圣诞树转啊，跳啊，可高兴了，教室里顿时洋溢出节日喜庆的气氛。

好不容易盼到了晚会的到来。第一个节目是笛子合奏《友谊歌》。笛声悠扬动听，使我们也忍不住在观众席上轻轻吟唱起来。不知不觉，这个节目在同学们雷鸣般的掌声中结束了。接着，我们连忙喷出美丽的雪花彩带迎接着下一个节目——笑话。表演者是高个子龚关和捣蛋鬼张振宇。他们风趣幽默的对话和滑稽的动作表演，惹得我们个个捧腹大笑。

晚会在欢乐的气氛中进行着，演员们使出全身解数，来博得观众的笑声和掌声。观众们个个笑得脸红通通的，巴掌都拍痛了。晚会接近尾声时，我们全班同学拿出了最后的秘密武器——五颜六色的花瓣，抛向空中，抛向演员们……

看着这些美丽的花瓣，我想：在这个特殊的日子里，圣诞老人不仅成了我们最可爱的伙伴，而且是位和平的使者!

Dear teacher,

Time flies, sun and moon, now I have been in the sixth grade, looking back at those who have given us care and care of the teacher, they are still as kind. [] Teacher, you are a hard gardener, tirelessly cultivating the flowers of the motherland; Teacher, you are the disseminator of knowledge, to pass new knowledge to us; Teacher, you are like chalk, sacrifice themselves, to leave us knowledge, you are how great ah!

Teacher, without your careful cultivation, I could not have become a man of knowledge. You gave me the future. You want your students to be "better than blue" and have a bright future. Teacher, you regardless of their own fatigue to give us the day class, in the evening to prepare lesson plans, correcting homework, the rest of the time is very few. We students are ashamed of ourselves. As the saying goes, the profession of a teacher lies in "burning oneself, illuminating others", which is the so called contribution of every teacher to students.

Teacher, you are like an umbrella, in our need to you, you are always fearless to stand in front of us, for us shelter; When the weather is cold, you tell us to wrap up warmly so that we wont catch cold. When we cant do a certain problem, you will patiently explain to us, until we understand; When we need comfort, you always use the kind tone to comfort us?

Teacher, you are like the star in my heart. Winter to spring, although I have grown up, but the star is still in my heart shining bright, purify my heart, help me to find the secret of confidence and success, help me to find the truth.

Ah, teacher! You were our second parent, and For those few weeks, I felt your kindness and your comfort. The teachers love, like a warm current, always warm my heart, the teachers love, like a blazing flame to illuminate my learning future, I will never forget.

advance

Salute!

I like Christmas, it is just like our Spring Festival.

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.

Christmas is coming, it also means a new year will come. Let’s study harder to welcome

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。当它下雪的,

在圣诞节这一天,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。

圣诞节即将来临,这也意味着新的一年。让我们更加努力地学习,欢迎

Christmas is one of the most important celebrations of the year for the western countries. It falls on the twenty- fifth of December and has the same importance as Chinese New Year to people with English backgrounds. The celebration is for the birth of Jesus Christ, who is the son of God in Christianity. Now days Christmas is no longer only celebrated by the Christians, but by most people from all over the world.

On the twenty- fourth of December everyone gets excited for it’s the day before Christmas which is called Christmas Eve. The children are usually sent to bed early and are warned that “Santa Claus will only come and give you a present if you be good.” The younger kids actually believe that Santa will come down the chimney on the sleigh that’s pulled by his reindeers. Food like short bread and beer are prepared for Santa when he comes, however most times parents just eat them. Some children put socks and sacks up for the holding of the presents (that their parents put in).

Rise and shine on Christmas morning! The children are always the first ones to wake up, some even do at four. Present wrappers everywhere! They look into their presents with a big smile on their face and oh dear….I hope no one’s disappointed. I feel sorry for anyone that got pink underwear. Children play while dinner is prepared by the adults. The Christmas dinner are usually eaten together by relatives. The tradition of Christmas pudding and roosters are usually eaten with deserts afterwards. The rest of the day is usually games and fun before the good days all come to an end.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

现在我最期盼的，就是春节了。

一大早起来，我要穿着舒服的新衣服给长辈拜礼，在跟着爸爸去外面问好，再捞点苹果、糖果、巧克力、梨子......以往的春节我收获的东西，还不够我塞牙缝。所以这个春节，我要拿很多的好吃的，要是吃不掉，就储藏起来，以后吃。

中午，和爸爸一起扔竹竿，很多人就有疑问了，这是哪个民族的习俗，让我告诉你吧!这只是我们家唯一一个有这个习俗。规则是：看谁投得远，投得准，这要由两个人组成一组玩，才能玩。一个人拿着竹竿扔，另一个人拿着一个超大号的篮子，接竹竿。这可是要看两人之间的配合、默契，才能胜利、成功。我和爸爸可是老队友，只要我们俩在一起，不会不赢的。

下午，我就和我的妹妹，我的姐姐一起玩，两人向前冲，规则是：一个人的右脚和另外一个人的左脚绑起来，然后向前冲，我跟我姐姐也是老队友了，每次我们上场，就会按1、2 1、2的节奏走起来。

晚上，我们一家子人要一起放烟花。爸爸把一个很大的爆竹一点燃，烟花就拉着一条长长的、五颜六色的尾巴，直冲云霄，绽放出了美丽的舞裙。我们几个小孩子拿着小烟花围着门前的空地转来转去，小烟花就像仙女的仙棒，显现出了漂亮的仙气。我们一家围在一起，边吃丰富的晚餐，边看电视里精彩的节目，一吃完饭，就去村口一个小卖部那里看真人表演.....

这是我期盼的春节，快乐的春节。

清明已经来临了，不知怎么的每年的这个时候都会下起大雨来。这正如杜牧所说的“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。”

Qingming has arrived, this time I do not know how every year it began to rain heavily. Just as Du Mu said "Qingming Festival have rain, pedestrians deep sorrow."

这天，我们刚好去祭拜已经逝世的亲人。

On this day, we just go to worship the dead loved ones.

来到昌国寺，已满头大汗的我们望了望接下来的路，只见蜿蜒曲折山路泥泞不堪，看起来很不好走啊!但想想来这里的目的，我们还是鼓起信心，小心翼翼地向前走去。哎，泥和水，水和泥的路真滑呀!一不小心就可能成为一个“泥菩萨”。经过一段时间的艰难行走，终于来到了目的地。

Come to Chang temple, has been sweating we looked down the road, I saw the twists and turns of the muddy mountain road, dont look so good! But think about the purpose here, we still have confidence, gingerly walked forward. Hey, mud and water, water and mud road slippery! One not careful will become a "mud buddha". After a period of time is difficult to walk, and finally came to the destination.

这里鸟叫声声，空气新鲜。来到坟前，只见叔叔把准备好的食物拿了出来，把筷子摆好，接着拿出并点燃蜡烛、香和纸钱，然后再在坟前一个接一个地跪拜。轮到我时，不知怎么的忽然想起了奶奶在世时的一幕幕情景，眼角的空间被泪水占满了，此刻的我才明白什么是失去后才懂得珍惜……

Birds chirping sound, the air is fresh here. Came to the grave, I saw Uncle put to good food take out, put chopsticks set, then take out and lit candles, incense and paper money, and then in front of the grave after another bow. When it was my turn, I do not know how suddenly remembered the scenes grandmother alive, out of the corner of space is filled with tears, I understand what is lost only know how to cherish......

Christmas is annual festival in western world that is one of the most

important festivals for them. Previously, only westerners or Christians

celebrate it. But in recent years, more and more Chinese people celebrate it,

especially among young people. There are many activities in that day. I think

there are the following reasons that make Christmas popular in China. First,

it’s a western holiday and it’s new to Chinese. Second, with the development of

the world, the mutual influence between China and the west makes it work. Last,

the merchants make great contribution to its popularity.

This is our school. There are many classrooms in it.There are eight hundred students and sixty-nine teachers in our school. There are many trees and flowers in it. All the teachers and students like our school very much.

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.

圣诞节(Christmas)是西方传统节日，在每年12月25日。弥撒是教会的一种礼拜仪式。圣诞节是一个宗教节，因为把它当作耶稣的诞辰来庆祝，故名“耶诞节”。大部分的天主教教堂都会先在24日的平安夜，亦即12月25日凌晨举行子夜弥撒，而一些基督教会则会举行报佳音，然后在12月25日庆祝圣诞节;基督教的另一大分支——东正教的圣诞节庆则在每年的1月7日。

Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. No one knows the exact date of Christs birth, but most Christians observe Christmas on December 25. On this day, many go to church, where they take part in special religious services. During the Christmas season, they also exchange gifts and decorate their homes with holly, mistletoe, and Christmas trees. The word Christmas comes from Cristes maesse, an early English phrase that means Mass of Christ. The story of Christmas comes chiefly from the Gospels of Saint Luke and Saint Matthew in the New Testament.

The history of Christmas dates back over 4000 years. Many of our Christmas traditions were celebrated centuries before the Christ child was born. The 12 days of Christmas, the bright fires, the yule log, the giving of gifts, carnivals(parades) with floats, carolers who sing while going from house to house, the holiday feasts, and the church processions can all be traced back to the early Mesopotamians.

Many of these traditions began with the Mesopotamian celebration of New Years. The Mesopotamians believed in many gods, and as their chief god-Marduk. Each year as winter arrived it was believed that Marduk would do battle with the monsters of chaos. To assist Marduk in his struggle the Mesopotamians held a festival for the New Year. This was Zagmuk, the New Years festival that lasted for 12 days.

The Persians and the Babylonians celebrated a similar festival called the Sacaea. Part of that celebration included the exchanging of places, the slaves would become the masters and the masters were to obey. The ancient Greeks held a festival similar to that of the Zagmuk/Sacaea festivals to assist their god Kronos who would battle the god Zeus and his Titans.

The Romans celebrated their god Saturn. Their festival was called Saturnalia which began the middle of December and ended January 1st. With cries of Jo Saturnalia! the celebration would include masquerades in the streets, big festive meals, visiting friends, and the exchange of good-luck gifts called Strenae (lucky fruits). The Romans decked their halls with garlands of laurel and green trees lit with candles. Again the masters and slaves would exchange places.

Jo Saturnalia! was a fun and festive time for the Romans, but the Christians thought it an abomination to honor the pagan god. The early Christians wanted to keep the birthday of their Christ child a solemn and religious holiday, not one of cheer and merriment as was the pagan Saturnalia.

Some legends claim that the Christian Christmas celebration was invented to compete against the pagan celebrations of December. The 25th was not only sacred to the Romans but also the Persians whose religion Mithraism was one of Christianitys main rivals at that time. The Church eventually was successful in taking the merriment, lights, and gifts from the Saturanilia festival and bringing them to the celebration of Christmas.

The exact day of the Christ childs birth has never been pinpointed. Traditions say that it has been celebrated since the year 98 AD. In 137 AD the Bishop of Rome ordered the birthday of the Christ Child celebrated as a solemn feast. In 350 AD another Bishop of Rome, Julius I, choose December 25th as the observance of Christmas.

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 Quirnius 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 knows 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.

The custom of giving gifts to relatives and friends on a special day in winter probably began in ancient Rome and northern Europe. In these regions, people gave each other small presents as part of their year-end celebrations.

In the 1800s, two more Christmas customs became popular--decorating Christmas trees and sending Christmas cards to relatives and friends. Many well-known Christmas carols, including Silent Night and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, were composed during this period. In the United States and other countries, Santa Claus replaced Saint Nicholas as the symbol of gift giving.

The word Xmas is sometimes used instead of Christmas. This tradition began in the early Christian church. In Greek, X is the first letter of Christs name. It was frequently used as a holy symbol.

Christmas is a holiday for a foreigner too, when I was a kid, when Christmas day arrived, I will get a nice present, so I look forward to the arrival of Christmas, and is better than other festivals.

Foreigners before Christmas, it seems the Spring Festival of our country. When Christmas comes, every store door is a big and high Christmas tree, green branches with white cotton, decorated with colorful lights, flash blinking shiny eyes. Under the tree is filled with all kinds of gift box, exquisite packaging, let a person fondle admiringly.
