Chinese New Years day, we at home the next day to discuss where to go. Because these days the weather is clear, sunny, cloudless, and we unanimously decided to go to picnic in the mountains. So, we have informed Yidie Aunt them, ready to picnic the next day when the dumpling skin, meat, condiments and bowls, chopsticks, pots and so on. The next day, we are mighty walked to the hill.

After a lengthy one hour, we finally boarded the summit. Then, we started the division of labor: Yidie had to base lesions, aunts dumplings, some of our kids went to the collection of firewood. A moment later, a good stove base, and great people to immediately lift the pan up, doped Sheung Shui. This is, Chai has Picking is running out, we started to light a fire. Fire is getting bigger wang, the boil was the dark. 3 Yidie saw, and said humorously: "with a small double (my nickname) is the same as black." Listening to other people, have a laugh. Moment, dumplings have been wrapped, and five aunt carrying his dumplings to the pot was about to fall, the three Yidie looking dumplings, and shook his head and said: "The package was too fat, and nothing like the small pairs only skinny monkey." Once again, other people laugh, I laugh again and good gas, not help then added: "with the same glowing three-Yi Die." Other people laugh even more fiercely.

I do not know how long before, dumplings cooked in. We are holding a bowl of Wai in the pot next to desperately grab dumplings. I finally grabbed one, is to eat, they were snatched his brother.

After eating dumplings, we discovered that the sky late and had to leave here, reluctantly go to the house to the direction。

今天早上醒来，我穿好衣服，见妈妈还在睡觉。我没有叫醒她，饿着肚子等妈妈起来做饭。这时，我脑子里闪现一个念头：我已经十三岁了，也该学做饭了。

我来到厨房，看看有什么东西可做的。发现有些绿豆，想起爸爸妈妈这几天工作很忙，已经上火了，绿豆可以去火，于是我决定烧绿豆茶。

我拿了个小碗，装了满满的一碗绿豆，把里面的脏东西捡出来，用水淘净，再在电饭锅里装了半锅水，把淘好的绿豆倒进电饭锅里，接通电源，把电饭锅调到煮饭档后，准备炒菜。

炒什么菜呢?妈妈平时最爱吃西红柿炒鸡蛋，就做西红柿炒鸡蛋吧!我先拿了四个鸡蛋和两个西红柿，学着妈妈的样子把鸡蛋打入碗里，这时我遇到了麻烦：不知道放多少盐才好。突然我想起妈妈平时炒鸡蛋只放一点点盐。我照例放了一点，搅匀后放在一边。把油倒进锅里，没多久，就听见有“嗞嗞”的声音，原来油热了，我赶紧把鸡蛋倒进锅里，不停地翻着，并把鸡蛋弄成一块一块的，倒入盘里，这时我才松了一口气。当我回过头去拿西红柿时，发现西红柿还没有切。就急忙拿起刀切起西红柿。我先是放在案板上切，可是弄了一案板西红柿汁。这时我突然想起妈妈平时是拿着切的，我也照样子小心翼翼的向碗里切去，不到一会儿，我就把西红柿切好了。我打开火，等锅里的水干了，就又在锅里放了一点油，等到油冒烟，我赶快把西红柿倒进锅里，在锅里左右翻动了一会儿，再又把鸡蛋放回锅里，放了南德调料和味精，搅匀后，倒进盘子里，一盘香喷喷的西红柿炒鸡蛋就做好了。

我打开电饭锅一看，绿豆已经“开花”了。我知道绿豆茶也烧好了，就把它们盛了出来，端上桌，去叫醒妈妈起床。

妈妈起来看到桌子上的饭菜，惊奇地问：“这是谁做的?”“我做的!”我自豪的说。“真的吗?我的孩子长大了，会做饭了!”我听着妈妈的夸奖心里美滋滋的。

这顿饭是我平时看妈妈做饭时一点一滴学会的，看来真是“处处留心皆学问”啊!以后在学习、生活中我还要认真观察、处处留心，学会更多的知识。

Thanksgiving began with the first European settlers in America. They

gathered their crops, celebrated and gave thanks for the food.

Tradition says Pilgrim settlers from England celebrated the first

thanksgiving in sixteen twenty-one. There is evidence that settlers in other

parts of America held earlier thanksgiving celebrations. But the Pilgrims

thanksgiving story is the most popular.

The Pilgrims were religious dissidents who fled oppression in England. They

went first to the Netherlands. Then they left that country to establish a colony

in North America. The Pilgrims landed in sixteen twenty in what later became

known as Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Their voyage across the Atlantic Ocean was difficult. Their first months in

America were difficult, too. About one hundred Pilgrims landed just as autumn

was turning to winter. During the cold months that followed, about half of them

died.

最近总想写点什么，可是提起笔来，却又不知道写些啥。

放假至今已有一个月了，总算把缺的觉给补足了。每天早上也不需要5点40分就起床，眼一睁开，时针已经指向“8”。再看看女儿，睡得还正香，不忍把她叫醒。起来喝点蜂蜜茶，然后随便吃点。有时候下点炸酱面，有时候喝碗粥，吃两鸡蛋，有时候干脆就冲一袋黑芝麻糊就把早餐给糊弄过去了。

此时大约9点了，我拿起扫帚把地扫干净，再用拖把拖一遍，权当今天的锻炼吧。

这时候，我就会打开电脑，浏览一下今天的新闻。也常常光顾一下自己的地盘，想在上面写点什么，我的地盘我做主嘛。

午饭后，我睡一觉，然后起来看书。这对我来说，倒使我的假期生活特别的充实。每天看几章，给自己充电，对自己的提高很有帮助。

晚上打开mp4，听听讲座(讲座是北师大的教授的讲课视频，我下载了以后，转换一下格式，然后复制到mp4中)。看看听听，印象特别深刻。有时候，妻子看看电视，我不免有点眼馋，居然还上了点小瘾。不过，我的自控力还是不错的，放收自如。

其间，每逢周二、四、六，早上起得要稍微早些，因为要陪女儿学戈德英语。我会时不时地买点东西给她，刺激她一下。女儿的心还真被我收买了，现在什么事情都想到老爸了。说老爸给她洗澡舒服，老爸哄着睡觉踏实，老爸送她上学放心，连吃饭也要老爸坐在她旁边。哈哈，谁叫我这么喜欢女儿呢?

好了，就记这些吧，跟流水账没什么两样。

今天是一个下着小雨的日子，但愉快的心情已经盖过了那些平凡的小雨带来的不愉快。因为许多人都不喜欢下雨吧!

今天是大家盼望已久的大年三十!我早就盼望这一天的到来，因为我知道，这一天会很热闹，大家都会很开心，就像是完成了自己心中的梦想一般的高兴，大家都买了自己喜欢的烟花爆竹，想着12：00的时候放，那不知道有多美呢!

今天也是我们一家吃团年饭的日子。大家都来到了婆婆家，一起团年，我们都说说笑笑，一会儿讨论这个，一会儿讨论那个，大家聊得都很开心，特别是我们小孩，幻想起12;00的时候应该是什么样子。我们想啊想啊…………然后我们都说出了自己的想法：哥哥说：“那时候的声音一定比雷还大!”;妹妹说：“那时候一定很多人在坝子放烟花爆竹，一定很好看，而且颜色和形状都不一样，不知道有多好玩，我们到时候去看看吧!”;我说;“要不，我们也去买点儿烟花爆竹，到时候去坝子放，好吗?”“嗯!好啊，我们也去买呀!”哥哥妹妹齐声回答。

我们一起向爸爸妈妈要了钱，自己跑出去买烟花了，我们拿着买完的烟花回了婆婆家，给自己的家长看了看，然后放在一旁，准备12：00的时候一起去放。

终于挨到了12：00，我们兴奋的拿着烟花爆竹，冲下楼，放了起来，我和妹妹胆子小，买了拿在手里挥的那种烟花，哥哥胆子大，他买了火炮，声音大的不得了，他还买了足球跑，威力更是大上加大，吓得我和妹妹都不敢靠近，哥哥胆子太大了，居然都不怕，他还买了那种往天空冲的那种礼花，好看极了，还给了我和妹妹一人一根，又好看又好玩!

放完烟花，吃完团年饭，迎来了春节，明天就是春节了，大家一定更高兴，我也期待明天的到来哦!

“过年了，过年了!”伴随着人们的欢呼声，新的一年也即将要到来，我忽然想起一句古诗：“爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏。”新年到了，那么春天也将来临，我向往春天美丽的景色，那一片生机勃勃的万物苏醒图。

既然是过年，自然而然脑中出现了我的最爱——烟花炮竹。一大清早，我便和爸爸妈妈一起去了批发市场，准备着我们的烟火大会。刚入市场我们便分头行动，去寻找自己的得意之物。没过多久妈妈便找到了一种烟花，她说这是她儿时的最爱，不尽让她想起一些开心的事，我和爸爸也不甘示弱，迅速寻找起来。不一会我和爸爸回来了，对着妈妈窃窃一笑，于是乎我们的准备活动也完成了。

晚上，爸爸自豪的对我说，他的烟花可以让大地都为之震动，我和妈妈都笑他吹牛皮。于是爸爸点燃了他的“大地之子”，只听“咻”的一声，烟花直冲云霄，不一会又飞驰下来，啪的一声重重打在地上，我震了一下，暗自赞叹，觉得好像大地真的震动了一样。只见爸爸得意洋洋的，我也不甘示弱，点燃了我的“天狗飞跃”，可出乎意料的是，它没能像我想象的一样飞上天空，而是在地上飞快的旋转，不断地放出火花，但还是很好看的。妈妈有些害怕，窃窃的点燃她的“七色仙子”。那烟花好似仙女一般，发出漂亮的火花，旋转这飞上了天空，妈妈很是自豪的对着我们笑。我和爸爸也笑着认输了。

今天还真是开心啊，希望每年都能和自己最亲近的人一起放烟花。

[高中生暑假英语日记

今天是__年_月_号，是大年三十。是一家人吃团圆饭的时候，是一家人团聚的时候。

我们家也在包饺子，我问爸爸：”大年三十为什么要吃饺子?“爸爸说：”饺子，象征着团圆，饺子与‘交子’谐音，象征着新旧交替。是新的一年的开始，为了庆祝这个时刻，人们都要吃饺子。“我在心里想：”我没有饺子，今天就让妈妈教我包饺子。我请求妈妈叫我包饺子，妈妈答应了。妈妈先给我做示范：先把饺子皮摊在手上，然后用筷子把馅放在饺子皮中间，再用拇指和食指一挤，饺子就成了。

我学着妈妈的样子包，可我每次都是放馅儿的时候，不是多放就是少放。妈妈就让我用勺子放，只要放半勺就行了。虽然放馅儿没问题了，但是捏边我总是捏不好，妈妈总是说我捏的太松了。我就使劲捏，呀!漏馅了!交给妈妈处理吧!我不服气，我捏，我捏，我捏，啊!终于包好了一个，虽然是个“枕头”，不过还挺漂亮。有进步，包第二个。哇，没有包成枕头，包成了一个“包子”妈妈看了直发笑，我也跟着傻笑起来。

在包饺子时，姥姥叫我把一元硬币包在饺子里，如果谁吃到了，谁就有福。谁不希望自己有福啊?

终于包完了，累死了!我终于知道妈妈很辛苦了!

“啪啪啪”饭前的鞭炮点完了，可以吃饺子了!品尝自己的劳动成果真是一件幸福的事。我知道，这个饺子是我包的，不足的是馅太少了!包饺子真是件快乐的事!

嘿嘿，这个年我过得很快乐，你们呢?

Im very happy to be this winter holiday, because you can get a lot of pocket money. But very boring, because cant in my classmate chat, is really boring.

Im very happy winter vacation, you can buy my favorite clothes, trousers, shoes and I love to play with toys, and can go back to my grandmas, to travel, and go to the He Lan anping castle of the building, three hundred years ago in tainan anping road, please appreciate a lot. Now I will introduce the sites is anping castle, right in the middle have to visit the place. Have a 7th floor tower, the top we could see the beautiful scenery, there are a lot of old cannons, took a photograph. Anping old is a very good place.

Bored, Ill write winter vacation homework, or playing computer, and watching TV. My winter vacation homework pages and pages of writing and also checked for her mother, and looking forward to quick opening day of school.

我这次的寒假非常开心，因为可以领到很多的零用钱。但是又非常无聊，因为无法跟班上同学聊天，真是无聊极了。

我非常开心的寒假，可以买到我喜欢的衣服，裤子，鞋子还有我最爱玩的玩具，又可以回去外婆家，去旅行，还有去看三百年前何兰建筑的安平古堡，就在台南市安平路，请大家多多欣赏。现在我要介绍的古迹就是安平古堡，有参观的地方就在正中央。有一个七楼的塔，那座顶端可以看到美丽的美景，那里有很多以前的炮，还照了一张相。安平古保是非常好的地方。

无聊的时候，我会写着寒假功课，或打电脑，还有看着电视。我的寒假作业一页又一页的写完毕，也给妈妈检查过了，而且每天盼望着快开学快开学。

凌晨三点，我带着许多恼怒，冲了一个澡出来。这里蚊子又凶又多，我已经是第二次被叮醒了，说实话，这是迄今为止最差的一次入宿体验。

下午看房间的时候，就能见着了数个蚊虫，无奈许多原因，还是在这里住下。到了晚上睡觉，我本打算下楼买盒蚊香，但看见了一个旧的电蚊香和盘中还剩余的半柄蚊香，也为了省却麻烦，自以为这些东西能够撑过今晚。根本不曾想到，我会因为这个想法，无法入睡。

蚊虫一只在嗡嗡作响，我为了躲避而裹紧了被子但这却着实害苦了我!虽然刚过年没几天，天气还未转暖，但不知为何，直感闷热难耐，全身很快就被汗水湿透。

如我一般的好洁之人，对被这肮脏蚊虫叮咬，除了身体上的瘙痒，心理上的更是不适和厌恶。瘙痒和粘稠的感觉充斥全身，大脑虽然困倦，但却丝毫没有办法入睡。

其实我本应该想到，这里是一个巨大的工业区，臭水沟纵横交错，河流浑浊，充满垃圾，到处都是棚户房屋，自然容易滋生蚊虫等物。莫说半柄蚊香，就是一柄，也难以支撑一晚。只要蚊香一刻不燃，这蚊子就一定会见缝插针，伺机而动。蚊子强凶至极，那电蚊液更本就是一点用也没有的东西。

唉，现在倒好，灯不敢关，觉也是不能睡了，更害苦了旁边的弟弟。现在想来，又一次得到了不能怕麻烦和不能拥有侥幸心理这些“老掉牙”的教训。

春节这天，天气晴朗，人们都沉浸在节日的气氛中，我也不例外，早早起来约好几个朋友到外面玩。我们一起来到颐美园小区，这里张灯结彩、火树银花、美不胜收，好看极了!我们几个小伙伴爬假山、荡秋千、做游戏，玩得乐开了花。回到家后只见我家大门的中间贴了一张好大的福字，两边一副对联：春风得意年年好，前程似锦步步高。

下午六点钟我们全家到外婆家吃年夜团圆饭，外婆的厨艺真好，什么“全家福”、“年年有余(鱼)”、“万紫千红”……还有我最喜欢吃的蒸蛋，共有十八道菜，好大的一个圆桌都快摆不下了。吃饭前，家家户户放鞭炮，鞭炮声此起彼伏，一浪高过一浪，爷爷也点燃了一挂万字鞭，响声震耳欲聋，好是热闹。

八时整，中央电视台春节联欢晚会现场直播开始了。节目丰富多彩，其中有我们湖南本土笑星大兵的相声，我最喜爱的节目还是几位老奶奶和一群小朋友表演的机械动作的皮影式舞蹈。年纪最大的84岁，最小的只有4岁，演得真棒!

年夜饭上我收到长辈们给我的压岁钱，鼓励我好好读书，新年要有新进步。年夜过后，街上的人还很多，我拉爸爸跟我一起去买了一大堆烟花、焰火、彩珠筒、冲天炮，噼呖叭啦，嘭!开心极了，真想天天过年。

Today I found time was a cruel thing. Whatever man is, time always goes on.

It won’t stay to wait for somebody. You can’t use anything to exchange time.

Time is also a fair thing. Although you have a lot of money or you enjoy high

reputation, time won’t leave them more. Today I found I hadn’t enough time.

Although I have more than a-month holiday, but I found I had a lot of things to

do. I had a lot of homework to do and I am essential to complete the homework as

soon as I have time.

今天，我发现时间是一个残忍的事情。无论男人，总是对的时间。它不会留下来等待某人。您不能使用任何交流时间。时间也是一个公平的事情。虽然你有很多钱，或者您享有很高的声誉，时间不会离开他们更多。今天，我发现我已经没有足够的时间。虽然我已经超过一个月假期，但我发现我有很多事情要做。我有很多功课要做，我必须完成的功课只要我有时间。

时尚了一个夏天的树叶被秋风剪落在地。我用惋惜的眼神打量着落叶，蓦然发现它有一种特别的美。落叶好像变成了顽皮的孩子，她在树上玩累了想家了，于是在归途中自由奔放，展现出天真活泼的形态。她的遗传基因赋予了她喜欢跳舞的爱好，所以，她在半空中借着风势变化着各种舞姿，当飘落的叶尖着地时就像芭蕾舞的独步，有时一阵风吹来，落叶竟在原地旋转，真是太美妙了。接着又有一些落叶落了下来，变成了伴舞的“演员”。

我也曾想过自己像那落叶成为最美的演员，为萧瑟的秋天演绎着最美的舞曲……可是，真正到了那一刻，我也纠结着是否要放弃，因为我真的不想不想离开……

大考的前一晚，很早就睡了。却难以入眠，泪水没有滴滴答答地流淌，而是选择另一只方式，一种代表寂寞，代表不舍，代表安静，代表沉默的静，开始无声的静谧。“真的!”当时我的脑袋里想着，“如果时间就此禁止;我的睡梦永远沉睡下去;醒来一看是场梦，而我还是那个懵懂的我，就好了……”

知道吗?我好曾想念当初的你们，微笑，自信，天真&童真……是我们的回忆，而这回忆，就是幸福!

白痴定律：永远不要和白痴争辩。因为他会把你的智商拉到和他同一水平，然后用丰富的经验打败你!

Let my little niece winter vacation homework today, she readily agreed, she

took out a pile of books from the school bag and book, Ill ask her winter

vacation homework you have so much? She said, "yeah, were going to do winter

vacation homework book, write a complete book of the words and it is each line,

and a day to write a diary, and mathematical complete book of exercises to do."

month off, how can have so much homework, but also for second grade

children.

book, and then make a happy years of China pictorial. Especially happy Chinese

New Year posters produced, it can let the student to understand the traditional

the life, and why not? So that the students didnt feel much homework, at the

same time also can get harvest, so now there are a lot of local education system

needs reform indeed, society needs is to be able to adapt to social development

talent, not only can keep the book a nerd. So these are thought-provoking!

It is a special day today. My mother sent one hundred basket of red bayberries. I like to eat red bayberries. It tastes nice. When they arrived in Shanghai, they were still fresh. But most of them would be sent to my mother’s business friends. I chose the best basket of red bayberries to eat. I put the rest in my refrigerator. Red bayberry is my hometown’s special product. It is well-known in china. Many people like to eat it.

tried so hard to help us to improve our English. We went to her flat and had

lunch there with her. We had a good time.

Christmas Day is on December 25th, though it originated in the western

country, now it is popular around the world. In China, people will spend that

day happily, they will eat apples on Christmas Eve, the children will put the

socks so that they could get the presents from Santa Claus. When I went to

college, I had an unforgettable memory about my first Christmas Day.

As my major is English, I have many foreign teachers, so that I could have

access to the local culture from them. Christmas Day is a big day for them, when

the day came, they asked us to spend the day with them, because most of them

left home and did not have families around. My classmates and I went to the

foreign teacher’s home at that day, we brought some presents, when we arrived at

his house, we found a beautiful tree with shinning lights. My teachers taught us

how to cook all the cookies, we were having such great fun. I made the cookies

with many favors. We talked happily and sung Christmas songs.

I learned how the foreign people spend their big day, it was such

unforgettable for me.

I will be at grade two of middle school this term, I have a new plan. I

want to start running after school. I am not very tall, I want to do the

exercise to grow tall. I plan to run two rounds of the runway on the playground

every day, which will be eight hundred meters. I wish I can be taller this term.

Running is good for health too, I like running.

Everybody wishes (hopes) to get money so that he can maintain his

livelihood。 In other words， money is so useful that it is impossible for mankind

to live without it。 For this reason， we have an interesting proverb。 It says

“Money can make the world go around。” In a word， money is more powerful than

anything else。

However， money should not be wasted。 It must be used for (some) proper

purposes。 We young men should form the good habit of not spending money in the

wrong way。

每个人为了能够维持生活，所以都期望得到钱。换句话说，钱是十分有用，所以没有它人类即无法生活。基于此种理由，我们有一句搞笑的谚语。它说有“钱能使鬼推磨”。一言以蔽之，钱比任何另外的东西更有力量。

然而，钱不就应被浪费掉。它务必用于正当的用途上。我们青年人就应养成不乱花钱的好习惯。

令我们期待已久的寒假终于来临了，寒假期间也包括了过年，过年期间，不但可以领到堆积如山的红包，还可以吃到色香味俱全的年菜。但是还有老师们精心为我们制作的寒假作业，为了不要辜负老师们的心意，所以一定要在寒假期间之内把它写完哦。

今年的寒假有整整的一个月时间，一月份我都在补习班拼命的上课，想比班上的同学们多上一点点的课程，这样子六下的功课，也许会比较轻松，不会紧绷绷的。还要完成老师们辛辛苦苦出的寒假作业，于是我认真努力的想把它完成，果然，我的心血没有白费，一月份就把寒假作业全部写完啦!真是高兴啊。

二月份的假期，因为我不用上安亲班，又有加上过年，使我更加兴奋，更加高兴。除夕夜那天，我们大家围在一起吃团圆饭，因为我们家是个大家庭，所以必须大人和小孩分开，大人坐一桌，小孩坐一桌。到了发红包的时刻，我兴奋不已，迫不及待的想要赶快拿到红包，阿公阿嬷发了好多张的红包，我也领了好多张的红包。但是最令我开心的是—初六初七的进香，第一天是去各个地方的庙宇拜拜，第二天是我们小朋友的天堂，因为那里是可以玩耍的地方，我们这次的路线是往宜兰走，跟之前都不太一样，而且宜兰那里也比较寒冷。我们回来时，路上下着毛毛雨，寒冷的风，轻轻的吹拂着我们，而雨滴打在我们的脸上。我们家门口外，都有许多各地来的阵头，在迎接我们的神明，已经到了深夜，我也已经呼呼大睡了。

今年的寒假，我过得很快乐，而且也收到许多的红包，吃了好多的.美食，而且最重要的是，我又多了一岁啰!所以再这新的一年里，我应许自己在新的学期里，课业能够进步，达到我理想的目标，成绩步步高升。

The first snow came. How beautiful it was, falling so silently all day

long, all night long, on the mountains, on the meadows, on the roofs of the

living, on the graves of the dead! All white save the river, that marked its

course by a winding black line across the landscape; and the leafless trees,

that against the leaden sky now revealed more fully the wonderful beauty and

intricacies of their branches. What silence, too, came with the snow, and what

seclusion! Every sound was muffled, every noise changed to something soft and

musical. No more tramping hoofs, no more rattling wheels! Only the chiming of

the sleigh-bells, beating as swift and merrily as the hearts of children.
