新的一年来了……以往的春节都是热热闹闹的,大街小巷都挤满了人,超市、菜场更是人山人海,每个角落都能听到人们的笑声。
The new year is coming In the past, the Spring Festival was full of bustle,
streets and alleys were full of people, supermarkets and vegetable farms were
even more crowded, people could hear peoples laughter in every corner.

篇1:关于青春英语作文高中
全文共 1041 字
+ 加入清单Before Chinese students go to college, they have been told about the great
things on campus life all the time, so they have the motivation to study hard.
When they come to university, they begin to slow down their pace to study and
waste their youth.
Nowadays, a lot of college students lose motivation to move on when they
come to the new chapter of their life. Campus life seems to be relaxed and a
place to free themselves. Without the supervision from parents and teachers,
they choose to lose themselves in the computer games or all kinds of
parties.
So someone made the comment on campus life as the nursing house, which
satirized the students who wasted their precious time and youth to accomplish
nothing. It is the important stage for them to learn professional knowledge and
master skills, so as to be competitive and find their own place in the
world.
For a wise student, they make the plans and improve themselves all the
time. If we live the life as the old people in the nursing house, then it is
kind of committing suicide for a young person.

说起我姐姐的技能,三天三夜都讲不完。这就是我心目中的万能姐姐,你们羡慕吗?

篇10:我的大学生活英语
全文共 2344 字
+ 加入清单As we know, many people favor the idea that the college life is free and
comfortable, but I’d like to say it’s not true. As a matter of fact, my life in
university is so busy that I wonder if my energy is enough. As to my college
life, I divide it into four parts, including study, student activities, library
and the others.
Firstly, I want to talk about the study. In my opinion, study is the
priority in college. When I received the letter of admission in summer, I knew
clearly that what I should do. So I make up my mind to study hard and pursue
learning as much as possible. I’m greatly convinced that knowledge can change my
life. Therefore, I often go to the quiet study room where many people study
there. By working so hard, I get good grades in the exams.
Secondly, student activities play an important role in our college life. To
be honest, the student Union is a good place where one can develop social
skills, get his abilities trained. I take part in many student activities. For
example, I’ m a volunteer, teaching the kids to learn to dance and write. I
think it’s meaningful for everyone to give a hand to others. I can also do some
jobs in the Student Union, including receiving and sending fast mail, selling
papers and magazines. I think they’re unforgettable and worthwhile experiences
for me.
Thirdly, I also visit the library constantly. It’s said that “shelves of
books, oceans of knowledge”, so I read books that I’m interested in. In this
way, I can share stories with my new friends and it also changes my horizons
.When I’m sad, lost or in trouble, staying the library makes me quiet and
comfortable. After all, every life has bad moments as well as good ones, and the
library for me is a support in bad moments. So it’s wise choice for me to stay
in the library.
Finally, I often do other things in my spare time. In order to alleviate
parents’ burden, I often do some part-time jobs and write some articles to earn
money. It helps me to be independent and improve my social skills.
In short, my life in university is busy but valuable. You can see that
study brings me knowledge, student activities improve myself, library changes my
horizons, the others things make me independent. They get all my abilities
trained. And I see that the chance will come only if you have a prepared mind,
so I’m sure that I can achieve my dreams in college life.

孙膑:身残志锐的智慧化身
【获奖名片】才志双全
【评价】
1.在艰难里,他从不放弃,用锐利的智慧打开一道道尘封的门,终于迎来了人生的道道曙光。庞涓的迫害止不住他才华的释放,膑脚之痛停不了他追求的脚步。孙膑,你的大智大勇,永远是激励我们前进的指明灯。
2.他是一把倚天巨剑,被历史的烈焰淬练过,被人世的无情锻造过,但是,只能让他越挫越勇。他用智慧的光芒,让我们中华文化有了围魏救赵的传奇。
【颁奖辞】
田忌赛马,围魏救赵,我们从成语中读你;身残志锐,胸罗兵甲,我们从历史中品你。你是一首无声的歌,流传千年仍气镇风云;你是一部无字的书,演绎着关于智慧的不老的传说。
【事迹】
孙膑是春秋时期战国著名军事家孙武的后代,早年曾与庞涓一起学习兵法。庞涓妒忌他比自己有才干,于是暗地里派人请孙膑来,设计陷害他。孙膑忍受被剜去膝盖骨的酷刑之苦,用才智感动了齐使,并在他的帮助下回到齐国。孙膑隐居在田忌幕下时就表现出突出的军事才能,后于“田忌赛马”后被田忌推荐给齐威王,成为齐国的军师。
后来,魏国攻打赵国。赵国危急,向齐国请求救援。齐威王想任命孙膑为将,孙膑婉言推辞说:“一个受过刑的人不能为将。”于是任命田忌为大将,任命孙膑做军师,让他在有帷幕的车上坐着出谋策划。在这场战役中,孙膑运用非凡的才智屡出妙计,最终使得魏军大败,创造了中国战争史上“围赵救魏”的光辉战例。后来孙膑又在魏国和赵国联合攻打韩国之时与庞涓斗智,使庞涓死于万箭中。孙膑因战出名,世世代代也相传他的兵法。

我的外婆虽个子不高,但身体却很棒。已是年过八十的老人,原本乌黑的头发中掺插了许多根白发。有一天外婆竟对我说:“哎呀,好多字都不认识,字典也查不来,教我学学拼音吧!”当时我满心欢喜,一口答应了下来。当“小老师”的第一天,我就找出了语文书、抄写本和笔记本滔滔不绝、口若悬河地介绍着拼音:“嗯,读记拼音是有很多技巧的,比如‘a’就像一个小姑娘唱歌时的口型,再看这个‘e’写起来就像一只倒着的天鹅……”我原本以为外婆已把这些只是都记在了心里,便沾沾自喜。没想到一考才知道,点哪个拼音她都不知道,只是一头雾水地看者语文书上那些奇形怪状的“鬼画符”。简直是“对牛弹琴”嘛!我便气愤地说:“不教了,不教了!学什么学,这么简单都不会!”说完便气汹汹地扔下书走了。过了一会儿,我有些不安,便情不自禁地从门缝里看这外婆,没想到外婆的眼角竟暗藏着一滴滴小泪珠,鼻子的红掩盖了那皱黄的皮肤颜色,收还不时地轻轻抹去眼角的泪珠。霎时间,我的脑海中回忆起一些零碎的片段:什么小时候我放学回家外婆总是不辞辛劳地为我买可口的点心,什么我和美眉睡午觉忧郁床小外婆总是睡在两张长凳上……回忆的事太多太多,对我的爱,对我的宽容。天哪!我做了什么傻事!我错了,大错特错了!鼻子一酸,便跑到客厅独自默默流泪,那一天,我想了很多很多。
也许,我欠外婆的太多太多,我还没有读懂外婆,还没有听懂外婆的内心世界……但我会用实际行动来偿还外婆,即使外婆不需要我这么做。

篇20:中秋节英语的作文
全文共 2824 字
+ 加入清单Mooncakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival what mince pies are to Christmas. The seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. And the moon is what this celebration is all about. Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month,it is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest.
There are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating mooncakes. One Tang Dynasty myth holds that the Earth once had 10 suns circling it. One day all 10 suns appeared at once,scorching the planet with their heat. It was thanks to a skillful archer named Hou Yi that the Earth was saved. He shot down all but one of the suns. As his reward,the Heavenly Queen Mother gave Hou Yi the Elixir of Immortality,but she warned him that he must use it wisely. Hou Yi ignored her advice and,corrupted by fame and fortune,became a tyrannical leader. Chang-Er,his beautiful wife, could no longer stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his Elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath. And thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon,the Moon Fairy.
The second legend has it that during the Yuan Dynasty,an underground group led by Zhu Yuan Zang was determined to rid the country of Mongolian dominance. The moon cake was created to carry a secret message. When the cake was opened and the message read,an uprising was unleashed which successfully routed the Mongolians. It happened at the time of the full moon,which,some say,explains why mooncakes are eaten at this time. Mooncakes are usually stamped with Chinese characters indicating the name of the bakery and the type of filling used. Some bakeries will even stamp them with your family name so that you can give personalised ones to friends and family. They are usually presented in boxes of four which indicate the four phases of the moon. Traditional mooncakes are made with melted lard,but today vegetable oil is more often used in the interests of health. Mooncakes are not for the diet-conscious as they are loaded with calories. The best way to wash down one of these sticky cakes is with a cup of Chinese tea,especially Jasmine or Chrysanthemum tea,which aids the digestion.
中秋节吃月饼就像西方人圣诞节吃百果馅饼一样,是必不可少的。圆圆的月饼中通常包有香甜的莲子馅或是红豆馅,馅的中央还会加上一个金黄的咸鸭蛋黄来代表月亮。而月亮正是中秋节庆祝的主题。每年农历8月15日人们一起庆祝中秋,据说这一天的月亮是一年中最亮最圆的。
关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。一个是唐朝的神话故事,说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中,巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。多亏一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9个太阳,地球才被保住。为了奖励后羿,王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药,但是王母警告他必须正当使用。然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告,他被名利冲昏了头脑,变成了一个暴君。后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观,于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药,飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥,这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说。
第二个传说讲的是在元朝,朱元璋领导的起义军计划起义来摆脱蒙古族的统治。他们用月饼来传递密信。掰开月饼就可以找到里面的密信,起义军通过这种方式成功的发动了起义,赶走了元朝的统治者。这场起义发生在八月十五之时,于是中秋节吃月饼的习俗便在民间传开来。
