It is because of your education, we can have todays knowledge, will have todays such a talent to learn, it is because of your care, we these "flowers of the motherland" to healthy growth, it is because of your little teachings, we understand the truth of life.

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

There was a kindly nobleman whose wife had died of an illness leaving the nobleman and his three daughters in despair. After losing all his money in useless and bad inventions the family had to move into a peasants cottage, where the daughters did their own cooking, sewing and cleaning.When it came time for the daughters to marry, the father became even more depressed as his daughters could not marry without dowries, money and property given to the new husbands family.One night after the daughters had washed out their clothing they hung their stockings over the fireplace to dry. That night Saint Nicholas, knowing the despair of the father, stopped by the noblemans house. Looking in the window Saint Nicholas saw that the family had gone to bed. He also noticed the daughters stockings. Inspiration struck Saint Nicholas and he took three small bags of gold from his pouch and threw them one by one down the chimney and they landed in the stockings.The next morning when the daughters awoke they found their stockings contained enough gold for them to get married. The nobleman was able to see his three daughters marry and he lived a long and happy life.Children all over the world continue the tradition of hanging Christmas stockings. In some countries children have similar customs, in France the children place their shoes by the fireplace, a tradition dating back to when children wore wooden peasant shoes.

译文:

关于圣诞节在火炉边悬挂圣诞袜也有一个有趣的传说。很久很久以前有一个心地善良的贵族,他的妻子因病去逝,抛下他和他的三个女儿。这个贵族尝试了不少发明,都失败了,但也因此耗尽了钱财,所以他们不得不搬到一家农舍里生活,他的女儿们也只得亲自烧煮、缝纫和打扫。

一晃几年过去,女儿们陆续到了出嫁的年龄,父亲却变得更加沮丧,因为他没钱给女儿们买嫁妆。

一天晚上,女儿们洗完衣服后将长统袜挂在壁炉前烘干。圣人Nicholas知道了她们父亲的境况后,就在那天晚上,来到她们的家门前。他从窗口看到一家人都已睡着了,同时也注意到了女孩们的长统袜。随即,他从口袋里掏出三小包黄金从烟囱上一个个投下去,刚好掉在女孩们的长统袜里。

第二天早上,女儿们醒来发现她们的长统袜里装满了金子,足够供她们买嫁妆了。这个贵族也因此能亲眼看到他的女儿们结婚,从此便过上了幸福快乐的生活。  后来,世界各地的孩子们都继承了悬挂圣诞袜的传统。有些国家的孩子则有其它类似的风俗,如在法国,孩子们将鞋子放在壁炉旁。

英语老师,我要向您诉说一件事。这件事一会埋藏在我的心底。

那是去年的一天上午,到了7点整,闹钟便“叮一叮”的催促我快快起床去上英语补习班,我只好不情愿地离开小被窝。一切准备就绪后,我刚要出门肚子便痛了起来,我立即走进了厕所,过了好一会儿我才出来,这是一看时钟,天啊!还有几分钟就要上课了!我大惊失色,以最快的速度赶往补习学校,可还是迟到了……

当我轻轻地推开教师门时,同学们的目光“刷”一下子全移到了我身上,我的脸顿时一阵红,一阵白。在看到老师利箭般的严厉目光投向了我,我更是有口难言,只好硬着头皮回座位。过了一会儿,老师发了一张练习卷让我们做,我很快完成了所有题目。这时,坐在我后面的马陈翼向我发出了“求救信号”,我连理都不理他,他见我无动于衷,便再三哀求,我转过头刚想回绝他,却被老师发现了,您把我批评了一顿……说我跟他学坏。

唉!被冤枉的滋味真不好受!

With the development of science and technology, more and more rich, along with the people on the street also slowly up more private cars, people gradually away from the low carbon life. Continue like this, will also affect other creatures, the earth will disappear from the universe.

That will not save the earth? No, as long as from now on, our action, and save the planet, save yourself - low carbon life!

Speaking of low-carbon life, since I can remember, my grandfather would help me to develop a good habit - which would be some waste paper and the cartons are collected, and then get a junkyard to sell. I still dont understand what then, is to save, now think about, if everybody can do so, the less we human beings will be able to cut down many trees! Every time I went to the supermarket shopping with my family, I will remind adults take environmental protection bag, normally we buy drinks will try to buy carton, it can reduce the "white pollution". Remember once in the supermarket, I saw a mother can toothpaste, get down, can say something like that to squeeze toothpaste is very clean, that can save a point. I said, "you see, it is made of plastic". Mother dont understand what that means. I say again: "in order to save a little toothpaste and make the earth a few more white trash, have what good"? Mom suddenly enlighted, even said: "yeah, yeah! This invention is really not worth ah"!

Low carbon living there are a lot of tips! Such as water washing a face can be used to flush the toilet, watering the flowers. Washing machine wash clothes of water can be rigged up with small basin, which can be used to clean the floor, wipe furniture... These are all we can do some things at ordinary times.

You see, low carbon life is so simple! Let us act together: everyone is to do with me!

随着科技的发展,随着人们越来越富裕,大街上的私家车也慢慢地多了起来,大家渐渐地远离了低碳生活。再这样下去,还会影响到其它生物,地球将从宇宙中消失。

那地球会不会没有救了呢?不,只要从现在开始,我们行动起来,拯救地球,拯救自己——过低碳生活!

说起低碳生活,从我记事起,外公就帮我养成了一个很好的习惯——将一些废纸和纸箱都收集起来,然后拿到废品收购站去卖。那时我还不懂什么,只当是节约,现在想想,要是每个人都能这样做的话,那我们人类将可以少砍多少树呀!每次我和家人去超市购物,我都会提醒大人带上环保袋,平时我们买饮料会尽量买纸盒装的,那样可以减少“白色污染”。 记得有一回在超市,我妈妈看见一个可以挤牙膏的东西,就要买下来,说那样的话可以把牙膏挤的很干净,那可以节省点。我却说:“你看,这是用是塑料做的”。妈妈不明白是什么意思。我又说:“为了节省点一点牙膏而使地球上又多了一些白色垃圾,有什么好的”?妈妈恍然大悟,连说:“是呀,是呀!看来这个发明的确是得不偿失呀”!

低碳生活其实还有很多小窍门呢!比如洗脸过的水可以用来冲马桶,浇花;洗衣机里洗衣物的水可以用一个个盆子装起来,可以用来擦地板,擦家具……这些都是我们平时力所能及的一些小事。

你看,低碳生活其实就是这么简单!让我们一起行动起来:人人做到我做起吧!

人类因梦想而永生,失去理想,生与死无异。人,是为了梦想而活,一个人若是没有梦想,那要为何而活呢?

The dream of eternal life for mankind, lost ideals, life and death is. People, in order to live, if a person does not want to live that dream, why?

我有一个梦,一个简单,却又难以实现的梦。那是一个在远离都市,与自己的家人过着与世无争的日子的梦;而这个梦想与现实的差距,需要用奋斗来拉近。梦想点燃希望,有希望,人才会去奋斗,来达成愿望,进而完成梦想。因此,我有了这个梦想,接着,我要点燃这个希望,进而藉由奋斗来完成愿望与梦想。这就是我这个梦想形成的原因。

I have a dream, a simple, but difficult to achieve the dream. It is a far away from the city, a stand aloof from worldly success days with his familys dream; and this difference between dream and reality, to strive to narrow. Dream of hope, there is hope, will to strive, to desire, and then complete the dream. Therefore, I have this dream, then, I want to ignite the hope, and strive to complete the wishes and dreams.

I cant live without ambition, or you will feel empty; people want to live, dont avoid the unpleasant, terrible things. Unpleasant and frightening is because they do not understand, when you understand, you will no longer fear, not to panic.

我有一个梦,一个美好的梦,一个与世无争又悠闲的梦。

篇19:圣诞节英语作文:The Christmas Tree

全文共 3450 字

+ 加入清单

Although it is generally agreed that the Christmas tree in its current form came from Germany in the early 19th century, the tradition of decorating a tree to mark winter celebrations dates back hundreds of years to Roman times, when they used to decorate evergreen trees with small pieces of metal to celebrate Saturnalia.

In medieval times the Paradise Play was performed every year on 24 December. This depicted the creation of Man and the fall of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and always included an evergreen hung with apples which represented the apple tree of temptation.

There is a legend that St Boniface, an English monk, came upon a group of pagans gathered around an oak tree who were preparing to sacrifice a child to the God Thor. In order to stop the sacrifice, and save the childs life, St Boniface is said to have felled the tree with one blow of his fist. Later on, a fir tree grew in place of the oak and this, St Boniface told the pagans, was the Tree of Life and represented the Christ Child.

Legend also suggests that, in the late 16th century, Martin Luther (the founder of the Protestant religion) was the first to decorate an indoor tree with candles when he attempted to recreate the stars shining over a forest of evergreens.

The first mention of decorated trees being taken indoors came in 1605 in Germany - a country with a long Christmas tree history! The trees were initially decorated with fruit and sweets together with hand made objects such as quilled snowflakes and stars. German Christmas Markets began to sell shaped gingerbreads and wax ornaments which people bought as souvenirs of the fair and took home to hang on their tree.

Tinsel was also invented in Germany in about 1610. Up until fairly recently real silver was used, which was pulled into wafer thin strips by special machines. This was durable but tarnished quickly and many experiments took place to try and find an alternative - including a mix of lead and tin, which was too heavy and kept breaking. It was only in the mid 20th century that a viable alternative was found.

Artificial trees were invented in the 1880s in a bid to try and stop some of the damage being caused to real trees due to people lopping the tip off large trees, thus preventing the trees from growing any further. It got so bad in Germany that laws had to be brought in to prevent people having more than one tree.

Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, is credited with being responsible for introducing the custom of the Christmas tree to the British public by decorating the first English Christmas tree at Windsor Castle in 1841 using candles, sweets, fruit and gingerbread.

The popularity of the Christmas tree grew in Britain during the first half of the 20th century, with trees becoming bigger and more elaborately decorated with bells, baubles and tinsel. However, the onset of the Second World War resulted in a ban on cutting down trees for decoration and people resorted to having small, artificial tabletop trees bearing home made decorations. These were often taken down into the air raid shelters when the sirens sounded to provide a bit of Christmas cheer!

This all changed following the war, and large trees were erected in many public places to celebrate Christmas. The most famous of these is the tree in Trafalgar Square, London which is an annual gift from the Norwegian government to give thanks for the help they received from Britain during the war.
