我叫李xx,属蛇,今年十二岁了。我个子一米四四,不胖也不瘦,乌黑的短发,看上去有点二,因为我一直认为明星的发型不会是这样的。浓浓的眉毛下面有一双特别好看的眼睛,睫毛长长的,虽然被我不小心烧过,但它现在依然长得很密。可惜被鼻梁上的这一副蓝边近视眼镜给遮住了。鼻子看上去很普通,嘴巴看上去一般,但内部一下子可以容纳三个饺子,你信吗?

我的性格很暴躁还有点固执,这都是遗传了我爸的dna,因此朋友很少。虽然只有两个朋友,但和我的性格很相似,有时我们亲密无间,有时我们又会争锋相对。记得有一次,我居然把朋友用悠悠球扎的满头包,可不久之后我们就会和好如初。我的这两个朋友,都是可以为对方拔刀相助的好哥们。

我最擅长的是仰卧起坐和踢足球了。每次体育课仰卧体坐半分钟我一般能做48个,最高一次记录49个,而其他同学最多也就45个。大家都说我是蹴鞠天才,在球场上我可以大约计算出对方球员的发球的力量和奔跑的速度,从多次踢球的经验马上就知道谁是菜鸟,谁是老鸟。对自己的队员我也能了如指掌。所以说知己知彼百战百胜是有道理的。我总是常胜将军。

我最喜欢看电视、玩手机、玩电脑、以及电子有关的游戏。可惜总是不能尽情的玩。

篇20:英语介绍樱花

全文共 3231 字

+ 加入清单

Sakura is the Japanese name for ornamental cherry trees, Prunus serrulata, and their blossoms. Cherry fruit (known as sakuranbo) come from a different species of tree.

Sakura, a well-known and ubiquitous symbol of Japan, are represented on all manner of consumer goods, including kimono, stationery, and dishware. Cherry blossoms are an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, and as such are frequently depicted in art. There is at least one popular folk song, originally meant for the shakuhachi (bamboo flute), titled "Sakura", as well as a number of pop songs. "Sakura" is also a common Japanese female name.

Sakura is indigenous to the Himalayas and east Asia. Some trees can be found in China and Korea but the largest number and variety of sakura, more than 305 species, can be seen in Japan. Many of them were artificially hybridized or grafted by the Japanese many centuries ago.

"On the other hand, in China, cherry blossom is the symbol of feminine dominance, female beauty and sexuality. Additionally, the cherry blossom is the Chinese symbol of feminine principle and it also symbolizes love in the language of herbs. Interestingly, cherry blossom is the flower of the April in China, whereas in Japan, it is wisteria." Spring flowers of Japan

Japans most beloved variety is the Somei Yoshino. Its flowers are nearly pure white, tinged with the palest pink, especially near the stem. The flowers bloom, and usually fall within a week, before the leaves come out. Therefore, the trees look nearly white from top to bottom. The variety takes its name from the village of Somei (now part of Toshima in Tokyo). It was developed in the mid- to late-19th century at the end of the Edo period and the beginning of the Meiji period. The Somei Yoshino is so widely associated with cherry blossoms that jidaigeki and other works of fiction often depict the variety in the Edo period or earlier; such depictions are anachronisms.

Other categories include yamazakura, yaezakura, and shidarezakura. The yaezakura have large flowers, thick with rich pink petals. The shidarezakura, or weeping cherry, has branches that fall like those of a weeping willow, bearing cascades of pink flowers.

Annually, the Japanese Meteorological Agency and general public track the sakura zensen, or Cherry-Blossom Front. Nightly forecasts follow the weather segment of news programs. The blossoming begins in Okinawa in January, and typically reaches Kyoto and Tokyo at the end of March or the beginning of April. Then it proceeds north, arriving in Hokkaidō a few weeks later. Japanese pay close attention to these forecasts. They will go to parks, shrines and temples with family and friends and hold a "flower viewing party" known as hanami. Hanami festivals celebrate the beauty of sakura, and for many, it is a chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful view. Hanami custom in Japan dates back to many centuries ago. It is witten in Nihon Shoki that the Hanami festival were already held in the 3rd century.

Most Japanese schools and public buildings have sakura trees outside of them. Since the fiscal and school year both begin in April, in many parts of Honshū, the first day of work or school will coincide with the cherry blossom season.
