今天是12月25日又到一年圣诞节了!这是一个有趣的圣诞节啊。

我们先把家布置得漂漂亮亮，小朋友们来玩了。一个小朋友扮成圣诞老人，但是样子怪怪的，就像怪物一样。我们喊起来：“圣诞老人，给我礼物…··”圣诞老人粗声说到：“不行不行，要睡着的小朋友才有礼物。”圣诞老人失望地低声说：“这些小朋友连这么基础的都不懂。”他一边说一边慢慢地走远了。小朋友们连忙装睡。

过了一会儿，大家都“睡着”了，有些还打呼噜呢!我偷偷地张开眼看圣诞老人的行动。只见圣诞老人顶风挡雪地来了。他一摇一摆地过来，难道他是瘸子吗?可是，他很高兴，一定是圣诞老人想出来的特殊走法，想引我们发笑呢!他东看看，西看看，慢慢靠近，慢慢靠近，来到我们面前。因为我们没有袜子，圣诞老人就把礼物放在我们的口袋里。

到了“早上”，不知谁扮了声鸡啼，把我们给叫醒了。我们议论纷纷，都在比谁的礼物好呢!

这真是一个有趣的圣诞节!

今天，我把所有作业都做完了，闲着没事干，便萌生出一个想法：教奶奶学英语。于是，我对奶奶说：“奶奶，我教您学英语吧？”“好！”奶奶爽快地答应了。我递给奶奶一张预先准备好的“新生报名单”。上面写着：“欢迎您加入花朵芬芳学校英语初级班，请填写您的英文名字。”奶奶一看新生报名单就愣住了。“我哪有什么英文名字呀？”“没关系，我帮您取。”我对奶奶说。

我想了一下，问奶奶“lavender,怎么样？”

“好，好，好。”奶奶没有经过思考就回答着。可当我问她“您叫什么英文名字呀？”她却把刚才的lavender忘得九霄云外了。于是，教奶奶学英语就从教奶奶学读英文名字开始了。

我不厌其烦地把lavender反复读给奶奶听。奶奶看着我的嘴型认真地学着。“la--ven--der”，可她的发音很不标准。

“奶奶，您的嘴巴再扁一点，行吗？”“?—?—?。”我把奶奶读的不标准的地方，抽出来单独训练。我记得自己学小提琴的时候，老师一直叫我把掌握不好的地方抽出来单独练，这样效果很好。所以我也用这种方法教奶奶。还别说，经过我的耐心指导，奶奶终于学会读自己的英文名字了。生怕下次再遗忘，奶奶拿来纸和笔，认真地记着笔记。

真认真啊！我在心里默默想着，奶奶年纪这么大了，学习起来还这么认真，真值得我学习呀。

奶奶学会了自己的英文名，我又教了奶奶一些水果类的单词，每学一个单词，奶奶都非常认真。

“奶奶，今天学的单词，我下节课要抽背的哦。”在下课前，我对奶奶提出了要求。“好的，我会认真复习的。”奶奶说。

就这样，一节有趣的英语课结束了。从中我不仅感受到了当老师的快乐，还体会到了生活的乐趣。

Chritmas is the day that Jesus Christ was born. people in the world celebrate and worship this day in his honor. The santa claus will come out and send presents for children. Christmas cards and decorated trees are all over the place. The carolling of Christmas songs echo through the air. I am not a Chirstian， but I also enjoy the atmosphere of Chrismas. I wish everybody have a merry Chirismas.

今天晚上，我去上菁华浩扬英语课时，徐老师让我们分成两组举行了一场对抗赛。首先她让我们给自己的队伍起一个好听的名字，于是在叽叽喳喳的叫嚷中我们选中了“雏鹰队”这个名字，而对手却选择了“猛虎队”来做他们的队名。

竞赛开始了，老师在我们两个队各挑了一个人，让他们到黑板前写单词，“斗”了几个回合后，我们组领先了两分，对方恼羞成怒，拼命想把比分给扳回来。可是在读单词环节中他们又输惨了，结果现在我们已经领先四分了。到最后一个抢答的环节了，老师说：“这个项目是考验你们的反应能力的，猛虎队还有扳回比分的机会，要加油呀！”猛虎队员们一个个跃跃欲试，摩拳擦掌，看起来要和我们拼一个你死我活，鱼死网破了。你看在比赛中他们都反应神速，你争我抢的回答问题，可我们的队员也不是好惹得，个个争的面红耳赤，最后徐老师统计比分，我们“雏鹰队”以26：17这样悬殊的差距赢得了比赛。徐老师说：“下次你们猛虎队要加油啊！”

下课了，我们的队员还嘲笑地说：“你们地上跑的还是不如我们天上飞的吧，哈哈哈！”

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.

一年有许多的节日,有中国传统节日春节,有属于我们的节日----儿童节,还有五一,十一等法定节假日.不过我最喜欢的不是这些节日,而是圣诞节.

圣诞节是世界上所有基督国家的节日,是为了纪念耶署基督诞生的节日.虽说它并不被中国人所看重,可我们仍然能看到圣诞节给生活带来的变化.首先,一些商家开始用圣诞节作推销,店铺门前摆满了和圣诞有关的商品:驯鹿呀!圣诞老人玩具呀!都成了特卖商品,也深受广大消费者的喜爱.其次,学校里也开展了许多圣诞活动,什么猜礼物,圣诞晚会,给人一种浓郁的节日气氛.圣诞节就这样慢慢地来临了.

我爱圣诞节不是只爱它的氛围,更是想得到自己的圣诞礼物.每年的平安夜,我都会静静地坐在,眼睛凝望着一颗颗在黑夜中闪烁的明星,心里带着期盼,希望自己第二天能够让自己的每梦成真.记得去年圣诞节,我许下想获得一只钢笔的愿望,结果第二天早上,一只崭新的钢笔就出现在我的床头,我喜出望外,赶紧将这个天大的消息告诉了妈妈,问她是怎么回事.可看着妈妈疑惑的眼神,一个神秘的念头闪过我的脑海中难道圣诞老人真的存在吗?

是的,在我看来,圣诞节就是这样一个氛围浓厚,充满神秘的节日.而且它也激励着我珍惜时间,一年只有一次圣诞节.每过一次,也就相当与我们又长大了一岁,一年里.你有什么收获.有什么经验.有什么不足和进步?我们更能将圣诞节当作一次学习的总结会,把圣诞礼物当作对好的一年的鼓励,把祝福当作对明年的鞭策,这不更好吗?

圣诞伴我成长,我爱圣诞节!

In the evening, the families usually have pudding, sandwiches, apple pies and some other desserts for dinner.After supper, the families always sing and dance around the Christmas tree.Sometimes, they also go to church.Before going to bed, the children often hang up their stockings beside their bed, so that Father Christmas will fill them with presents.It is said that Father Christmas always drives a deer to the human world and entering into each house from the chimney.Now the children no longer believe in Father Christmas, but they still hang up their stockings, because their parents will fill them with presents.

晚上，家里面通常都有吃布丁，三明治，苹果派还有一些其它的甜点作为晚餐。晚饭后，家人们总是围着圣诞树唱歌跳舞。有时，他们还会去教堂。睡觉前，孩子们常常会把长统袜挂在床边，这样圣诞老人就会用礼物把它填满了。据说圣诞老人总是骑着一只鹿到人类，之后从烟囱进入每个房子。现在的孩子不再相信圣诞老人的故事了，但他们仍然会挂上他们的袜子，因为他们的父母会用礼物把它填满。

I have many dreams, I want a diamond castle, there was a robot, open a pang shop, has a beautiful garden, when a small explorer... But mom said, "this thinking is my little desire. What are dreams? My head up a big question mark.

I have read the book "with the dream", I know a very good vision starts from the minor matter. If you litter, the environment will become very bad. So green hill, green water and blue sky, beautiful home, is need our protection, can become more beautiful.

I also have been to many places, such as thousand island lake, five scenic spot, moganshan, daming mountain, zhuji YaoLin wonderland, four major, zhujiajian pointed, the west lake scenic area... Each place scenery let me linger. I really like these scenic area, where air is fresh, the scenery pleasant.

My dream is to make every place in hangzhou has the green hill, green water, I hope that life can become more beautiful!

我有许多梦想，我想要一个钻石城堡，有一个机器人，开一个庞物店，拥有一个漂亮的花园，当一个小小探险家……但是妈妈说，这想些都是我的小愿望。什么是梦想呢?我的脑子里起了一个大问号。

我读了《与梦同行》这本书后，我知道了非常好的愿景都是从小事做起的。如果大家乱扔垃圾，那么环境就会变得糟糕极了。所以青青的山、绿绿的水、蓝蓝的天、美美的家，都是需要我们的保护下，才可以变得更加美丽。

我也去过很多地方，像千岛湖、诸暨五泄风景区、莫干山、大明山、瑶琳仙境、柯岩、朱家尖、西湖风景区……每个地方的风景都让我留连忘返。我非常喜欢这些风景区，因为这些地方的空气新鲜，景色宜人。

我的梦想就是让杭州的每一个地方都有青青的山绿绿的水，我希望生活可以变得更加美好!

Christmas is the biggest festival in the western world, which people all over the Christian countries celebrate. It is on the 25th day of each December. Christians consider it as the birthday of Jesus Christ. But now many customs and habits are beyond religious meaning, The Christmas season begins five or six weeks before the exact holiday. There is always a shopping boom during this period. So it‘s really a happy season for shop owners.

（译文）：每年的12月25日，所有基督教国家的人们都欢庆圣诞节。一般认为圣诞节是耶稣诞生的日子。但是现在许多风俗和习惯都已超出了宗教意义。圣诞节季节在12月25日之前的5、6个星期就已经开始了。在这一时期总会出现一个购物潮。所以圣诞节确实是店主的快乐节日。

Christmas， annual Christian holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ。 Most members of the Roman Catholic Church and followers of Protestantism celebrate Christmas on December 25， and many celebrate on the evening of December 24 as well。 Members of the Eastern Orthodox Church usually delay their most important seasonal ceremonies until January 6， when they celebrate Epiphany， a commemoration of the baptism of Jesus。 Epiphany also traditionally commemorates the arrival of the Three Wise Men of the East in Bethlehem （near Jerusalem， Israel）， where they adored the infant Jesus and presented him with gifts of gold， frankincense， and myrrh。 The official Christmas season， popularly known as either Christmastide or the Twelve Days of Christmas， extends from the anniversary of Christ’s birth on December 25 to the feast of Epiphany on January 6。  Christmas is based on the story of Jesus’ birth as described in the Gospel according to Matthew （see Matthew 1：18—2：12） and the Gospel according to Luke （see Luke 1：26—56）。 Roman Catholics first celebrated Christmas， then known as the Feast of the Nativity， as early as 336 ad。 The word Christmas entered the English language sometime around 1050 as the Old English phrase Christes maesse， meaning festival of Christ。 Scholars believe the frequently used shortened form of Christmas—Xmas—may have come into use in the 13th century。 The X stands for the Greek letter chi， an abbreviation of Khristos （Christ）， and also represents the cross on which Jesus was crucified。

12月25日，是基督教徒纪念耶稣诞生的日子，称为圣诞节。从12月24日于翌年1月6日为圣诞节节期。节日期间，各国基督教徒都举行隆重的纪念仪式。圣诞节本来是基督教徒的节日，由于人们格外重视，它便成为一个全民性的节日，是西方国家一年中最盛大的节日，可以和新年相提并论，类似我国过春节。西方人以红、绿、白三色为圣诞色，圣诞节来临时家家户户都要用圣诞色来装饰。红色的有圣诞花和圣诞蜡烛。绿色的是圣诞树。它是圣诞节的主要装饰品，用砍伐来的杉、柏一类呈塔形的常青树装饰而成。上面悬挂着五颜六色的彩灯、礼物和纸花，还点燃着圣诞蜡烛。红色与白色相映成趣的是圣诞老人，他是圣诞节活动中最受欢迎的人物。西方儿童在圣诞夜临睡之前，要在壁炉前或枕头旁放上一只袜子，等候圣诞老人在他们入睡后把礼物放在袜子内。在西方，扮演圣诞老人也是一种习俗。

“英语节”的活动真是花样百出，有画海报、抽奖券、看英语电影……真是让我眼花缭乱，兴奋不已。其中，最好玩的就是抽奖券和“圣诞老人抽幸运班级”啦！

活动现场一进门，哇，好多人耶！原来是英语老师正在为同学分发幸运奖券呢！我和王怡然立马奔向傅老师。啊！轮到我了！我紧张地把手伸进神秘的袜子里，心中充满了期待。呦……是一个棒棒糖，没有中奖，但有糖果吃也不错啦！

“叮咚”，同学们一听到广播就知道是杰妮老师带着“圣诞老人”来抽“幸运班级”啦！“现在终于轮到三、四年级抽奖啦！“圣诞老人”笑呵呵地说着，大家马上安静下来，屏住呼吸期待着结果。“让我看看，嗯……当当当当！是四零……，”随着“圣诞老人”故意拉长的声音，同学们纷纷伸长耳朵，瞪大眼睛，准备着又希望着……“是四零五班！恭喜四零五班！”

虽然，我没有中奖，但这个英语节我很快乐，因为英语节本来就是让我们学习知识的活动，我也确实收获了许多，也让我对英语产生了更浓厚的兴趣

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.
