小学生1分钟英语演讲稿（汇编20篇）

Lantern Festival The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern

Festival because the first lunar month is called yuan-month and in the ancient

times people called night Xiao. The 15th day is the first night to see a full

moon. So the day is also called Yuan Xiao Festival in China. According to the

full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands of colorful lanterns

hung out for people to appreciate. At this time, people will try to solve the

puzzles on the lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball) and get all their

Really good blue, blue is very clean, have a holiday since the first time I see, so beautiful sky, I like the color of the sky, and sky today just gives me more of such frames on the road, that kind of feeling really very comfortable, good light, all the troubles at that instant.

I like this summer vacation, if every day how wonderful it is the sky is so blue! but it doesnt realize that the sky will appear only in the second day after the rain, I hate rain, because I dont like the sky is cloudy, that day is difficult, will be very boring, but if it doesnt rain, the sky will not have so good-looking color, maybe just like rainbow will appear after the rain!

Blue summer, let a person some lazy, after school, there will be a so beautiful memories stay in summer vacation, but not in time to relax, on the second day, of course not to have time, alas! School is really tired, perhaps every student youth time is spent in the classroom!

Blue summer vacation in my life the most gorgeous color!

真好又到暑假了，但暑假里的色彩，却总是那么单一，终于我今天发现，那一片蓝蓝的暑假，蓝蓝的天。

今天漫步在路上，头不由的仰望了一下天空，啊!真的好蓝，蓝的很干净，放假以来我第一次看到，这么美的天空，我喜欢天空的颜色，而今天的天空刚更让我不由自主的就这样定格在路上，那种感觉真的好舒服，好轻松，所有的烦恼在那一瞬间烟消云散。

我喜欢这样暑假，如果每一天的天空都如此蓝那多好啊!但那不会实现的，这样的天空也是在雨后的第二天才会出现，我最讨厌下雨，因为我不喜欢天是阴的，那样的一天是难熬的，会很闷，但如果不下雨，天空就不会有那么好看颜色，也许就和雨后才会出现彩虹一样吧!

蓝蓝的暑假，让人有些懒懒得，开学后，还会有一段这么美好的回忆留在暑假，但不会在有放松的时间了了，上初二了，当然不会在有时间了，唉!上学真累，也许每一个学生的花季时代都是在教室里度过!

蓝蓝的暑假成为我生命中最绚丽的色彩!

If someone asks my favorite person, then my father is well deserved. Because with him, happiness is always accompanied me, all the troubles will disappear.

Just get up in the morning, although I have been dressed, but I still stumbled, always want to lie down to bed Dad met with a smile came, pulled me up from the bed, Xiaohe He said: "how, but also when the blanket head of the pumping your lazy tendons just fine." Then on the arm from me Come, I "Puchi" laughed out, while patting his fathers back, while laughing and blaming him: "You are really bad, you really bad." At this time, my father has long hearty smile.

At noon, my father came home after the first sentence will ask: "Tingting back there?" As long as I saw a pair of hands to the back of a back, walked in the stage of Peking opera, with Jingqian smiling to me: "Hungry me, and take the meal to eat with me." So we are in the happy meal.

In the afternoon, when I was carrying a heavy school bag to the house, feel tired and tired. But a push the door and found my father had been waiting for me at the door, and see me back, he took my hand bag, his feet together, a bow, like a Japanese like me to say: "Hard, and my big for you!" Then looked up, silly looked at me. I am amused by his appearance, and my heart has long been gone to the clouds, can not help but suddenly flew into my fathers arms, arms around his neck, whispered in his ear, said: "You are so good, father!

This is my father, he gave me a happy life.

Summer vacation then suddenly passed half, and half of the life before I can say is a full, let me say my summer vacation life.

Time is always short, but in the short time we are not learn very much, hope time can slowly, so that we can learn more.

暑假一转眼就过了一半了，而在我前一半的生活可以说是比较充实，下面就让我说一说我暑假的生活吧。

暑假作业不可以少，这个暑假的作业量不算多，所以我每天三张钢笔字，五页愉快暑假的速度来完成的，在写完了作业之后我都会看看书，每天看个半小时，不但不会让让我的阅读水平不会掉下来。还可以让我明白很多的道理。

在这个暑假里，不只有写作业，旅游也是暑假里不会少的一件事，我在这个暑假去了有名的武夷山游玩，在武夷山我游玩了雄伟的大王峰，十分窄小的一线天等一些美丽的地方。我认为我这个暑假可以算得上是游山玩水了。

暑假里，我和我的朋友还去玩了几次密室逃脱，让我收获很多。也让我明白了团队合作十分重要。暑假中运动也十分的重要。我每天都会去和朋友一起去打篮球让当天的烦恼随着汗水流泄出来。

时光总是那么的短暂，但在短暂的时光时我们不是都在学到十分多的道理，希望时间能过得慢一点，这样我们就能学到更多的道理。

Then, the representative of the bedroom Zhu Guozhang asked us to guess a line of a poem related to the above situation. He added that Li Xinmin alone was born in the year of the dog and the other three were all born in the year of the chicken.

They left us all in confusion. And it was our monitor who was quickwitted. He shouted our, "The day breaks as the cock crows three times at dawn." The hall After that, they had another item. This time Li Xinmin was placed in the middle of the circle. While he was standing there, the other three stood around him, each bowing down to him at an angle of 120 degrees. It was an idiom. This time I got it right:"The dog stands out among a group of chickens."

Low carbon life today is no longer a fresh word, the people all know what call low carbon life.

Today I will say the low-carbon life in our house. One day, after I had finished my homework was sitting on the sofa watching TV, movie about environmental protection commonweal advertisement attracted me. The frame there are pieces of white clouds in the blue sky, the endless prairie, green grass in the wind gently shake its head, the colorful flowers and small butterflies dance ballet on the ground. But, the scene became is full of weeds, desolate desert.

I sat on the sofa, looking out the window the yellow sky thought:

If we dont protect the environment, cant tell which day our hometown will become like that. Thought of here Ill stand up to mom and dad said: "low carbon life is start from our home!"

After that day, our family really played a low-carbon life.

As long as it doesnt black home absolutely does not turn on the light. Go out not to ride electric vehicles is the bus. And I put up a piece of white paper in the bathroom write "please save water" several characters, ah! Indeed effective, mom and dad would never waste water, both of the water to wash the dishes, wash clothes of water save flush the toilet and do it saves water, also save a lot of water.

My dad used to throw rubbish are packed in a bag together willy-nilly throw it away. But now is different, he always put the garbage classification, not thrown away, can be recycled are collected to sell to recyclers, the sale of the waste of money saved up can also buy vegetables.

So two months of low-carbon life, not only make people form good habits, our family also save a lot of cost of living. Mother happily say: "low carbon life is environmental protection, and save money, also can let us healthy life, we must put the low carbon life in the end!"

碳低生活在今天已经不是什么新鲜词了，人们都知道什么叫低碳生活。

今天我就来说说我们家的低碳生活。有一天，我写完作业就坐在沙发里看电视，一部关于环保的公益广告吸引住了我。画面中蔚蓝的天空中飘着一朵朵白云，一望无际的草原上，嫩绿的小草随风轻轻摇动着它的小脑袋，那些五颜六色的小花在地上和小蝴蝶跳起了芭蕾。可是画面一转，就变成了到处都是荒草，荒无人烟的大沙漠。

我坐在沙发上，看着窗外昏黄的天空心想：

我们要是再不保护环境，说不准哪一天我们的家乡也会变成那样。想到这儿我马上站起来对爸爸妈妈说：“低碳生活要从我们家做起!”

从那天以后，我们家真的过起了低碳生活。

只要天不黑家里绝对不开灯。出门不是骑电动车就是坐公交。而且我在卫生间里贴了一张白纸写上“请节约用水”几个大字，哎!果然有效，爸爸妈妈再也不浪费水了，他们俩把洗菜水，洗衣服的水都存下来冲马桶，这样做既节约水，还省下了不少水费。

我爸以前扔垃圾都是不管三七二十一装在一个袋子里一同扔掉。可是现在却不同了，他每次都把垃圾分类，不可回收的都扔掉，可回收再利用的都收集起来卖给收废品的，这样卖废品的钱攒起来还可以买菜。

就这样两个月的低碳生活，不仅让我们家人人养成了好习惯，还节省了不少生活开销。妈妈高兴的说：“低碳生活既环保，又省钱，还能让我们健康的生活，我们家一定要把低碳生活进行到底!”

导语：每个学校都会举行运动会，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

At the elementary school today it is a sports day; all the parents and friends were invited to attend.Each class in the school was competing in one or more sports events such as relay races,distance races,ball games,parades,and so on.All the guests had small chairs to sit on at one side of the school field.There were refreshments given and a concession stand available if you wanted to buy ice-cream or candy .everyone cheered and clapped after each event.Special honors were given to individual winners,but all in all,everyone felt great that day.

【参考翻译】

在小学今天是体育运动日;所有的父母和朋友都被邀请参加。在学校的每一类中的一个或多个体育赛事，如接力赛、长跑、球类、游行的竞争，等等。所有的客人都有小椅子坐在学校的场的一面。如果你想买冰淇淋或糖果有点心和特许站可用。每个人都鼓掌欢呼后事件。特别荣誉给予个人获奖者，但所有的一切，每个人都感觉很好的那一天。

1、思想重视的不够

随着各种教学法涌入我国，对我国英语教学影响最大的当数“听说法”和&ldquo,日记;视听法”。这些教学法提倡将英语作为一门工具来对待，侧重学生语言技能的训练。然而，我们在着意于口头技能培养的同时却忽略了书面阅读和写作，在强调语言结构形式的反复操练的同时却忽略了学生语言能力的培养，从而导致教师和学生轻视英语写作现象的产生。

2、写作素材的缺乏

教师对小学英语写作究竟要写些什么缺乏明确的认识。大部分写作练习表现为简单机械的抄写，学生容易完成，老师易于批改，但写作内容与学生生活缺乏练习。

3、母语文法的束缚

小学生刚刚接触英语，在表达的过程中难免受到母语的构词法、语法和思维方式的影响，用汉语的方式组词或组句，以至于出现大量的文法错误，让人啼笑皆非。

When winter holiday is around corner,I have so many plans,but now I just like coughpotato.

My sister and I sleep in the morning,my parents get mad at us.They force us to get up,we lock the bedroom door until we are both hungry.Ha...

Because of final exams,our skin in bad condition,my sister said that sleeping is good for skin.Yeah,female do care about their appearence all the time.

My day is simple.

第一次做家务

he summer vacation began. I decided to work to make money for the next

term. But I didnt know what work I could do.

At that time, my mother was writing a book. I decided to type for her for

pay. She agreed and paid me 5 yuan for 1000 words.

I began to work. I typed so slowly that I could type only several hundred

words a day. It was a hard job for me. I kept typing all day long.

I finished the work two weeks later. I came to know how hard it was to make

money.

Nowadays,with more and more serious problem such as the global increasing temperture,the melting ice and the rising sea-levering,people are recognizing the important of developing the low-carbon economic now.

There are many ways we can do to reach the loe-carbon economic.Fristly,discovering others fuels which is more clean and more green to instead of the using of carbon.Secondly, we should have the save-energy conscious and do something which we can make,for instance,using the bus ranther than car when you go out,re-use the thing that can be recycle used,reducing the use of plastic bags.Last but not least,we should plant more trees or other greenplants,in which way we can not only improve the environment,but also can make our home more beauty.

In my opnion, the most important thing to reach the low-carbon economic is everyone must try their best do what they can do for it.Once everyone have the sence of low-carbon economic and have the action by themselves ,it will be earlier to reach it.

如今,随着越来越多的严重的问题,如全球温度上升,冰川融化和sea-levering上升,人们认识到发展低碳经济的重要了。

有很多方法我们可以达到loe-carbon经济。第一,发现其他燃料,更清洁和更绿色,而不是使用的碳。其次,我们应该有燃油节能意识,我们可以做些什么,例如,使用公共汽车跑其他非汽车当你出去时,重复使用可以循环使用的东西,减少塑料袋的使用。最后但并非最不重要,我们应该种植更多的树木或其他绿色植物,在其中我们不仅可以改善环境,但也会使我们的家园更美丽。

在我因为,达到低碳经济的最重要的事情是每个人都必须尽自己最大的做他们能做的事。一旦每个人都有低碳经济和有行动的意义上,它将早些时候到达。

Today is my busy day.Let me tell you the plan of me .In the morning,I must  get up very eariy to  makes breakfast for my family .

环境保护对我们来说并不是一个新问题，我国政府也早就提出了明确的治理目标。作为现实生活中的每一个普通人，虽然不可能都直接从事环保工作，但我们完全可以从小事做起，从我做起。

Environmental protection is not a new problem for us, our government has already made clear the goal of governance. As every ordinary people in real life, although not directly involved in environmental protection work, but we can start from the minor matter, begin from me.

当看到洗手间的水龙头在滴水时，是不是能够举手关上呢?当电池用完后能否分类收藏处理而不是随手扔掉呢?当购物时能否自觉不使用超薄塑料袋呢?一件件小事虽然都很不起眼，但却体现我们究竟具备了多少环保意识。

When you see the Restroom faucet in water, Shi Bushi can raise close? When the battery is exhausted can classified processing rather than throw it away? When shopping can consciously do not use thin plastic bags? A trivial thing though is very humble, but we have the number of environmental consciousness.

回收1吨废纸可再造出800千克好纸，可以挽救17棵大树。回收20个废餐盒可以造出一个漂亮的笔筒。回收一个玻璃瓶节省的能量，可使灯泡亮4个小时。回收1个铝罐就等于节约了半个铝罐的石油。所以我们应将垃圾分类安放，由有关部门回收后再生产再利用!

Recycling 1 tons of waste paper can be recycled 800 kilograms of paper, can save 17 trees. Recovery of the 20 waste boxes can create a beautiful pen. Recycling one glass bottle to save energy, can make the light bulb for 4 hours. Recovery of the 1 aluminum cans is equal to saving half an aluminum cans of oil. So we should put garbage classification, by the relevant departments after the recovery of reproduction!

只要我们从自己做起，从小事做起，大家共同努力，持之以恒，就一定能为社会、也为自己留下一片碧水蓝天，我希望人人都能自觉保护环境，让我们的生活环境更加美好。

As long as we start from ourselves, from the little things, we work together, will be able to persevere, to society, but also for myself a blue sky, I hope everyone can consciously Protect environment, to make our living environment more beautiful.

I often imagine what my life will be like in the future. I think my life will be very different in ten years. I will be twenty-eight years old by then. I will have my own family. Probably with a lovely child. I hope I will work in a computer company as a program designer. I will enjoy my work and get along well with my colleagues, I will do a good job in whatever I do. In my free time, I will continue to take regular exercise, such as swimming, running and various ball games. On my holidays, I will travel around the world. In a word, my life will be much richer and more colorful.

Home is the warmest place in the world and a sweet home makes every family

member feel happy and comfortable. So, how to make a home sweet?

First, respecting and understanding each other is the key to make a home

sweet, especially living in a big family. Everyone in the family has his or her

own opinion and has different way to deal with the matters, and it is impossible

to make family members see eye to eye with each other. Therefore, when we are

meeting different opinions, we need to give our respect and understanding to

each other.

Second, communication is another important factor to make a sweet home.

Communicating with family members is a good for us to know each other and

strengthen the relationship. Thus, no matter where we are, keeping in contact

with each other is definitely important.

Finally, humor can add more sweet to our home. Humor is a good way to

adjust the atmosphere in a family and close the relationship between family

members. Hence, if there is going to have a quarrel between family members, try

to use your humor to solve it in advance.

In a word, to make a home sweet needs the effort of every family

member.

六年级圣诞节的英语作文【一】

I like Christmas, it is just like our Spring Festival.

Maybe the Spring Festival is much more important and interesting than Christmas, but I like Christmas Day better. Because we can spend time with our friends and classmates during Christmas. When it is snowy, Christmas becomes much more lovely, just like in fairytales. I can imagine I am in a fairytale, the girl who sold the matches is my friend, the ugly duck becoming more and more beautiful and so on. What a beautiful place! So we can also call Christmas “Snowy Lovely Day.”

On Christmas Day, shops are red and green. There are so many Christmas cards, Christmas hats, Christmas dolls and many colourful things. So shops look very beautiful. We can give a card or a doll to our friends and say “Merry Christmas.” By the way, I think studying can also become much more interesting.

Christmas is coming, it also means a new year will come. Let’s study harder to welcome the new year!

As everyone knows, stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is

no way to avoid it. As the pace of modern life continues to increase, we are

always feeling on the go from morning till night. And it is hard to slow down.

Therefore, stress goes hand in hand with the life in a competitive society.

Different people, however, think of stress quite differently. Some believe

that stress is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. They are of the

opinion that a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give

purpose to life. Others argue that stress contributes to one’s mental decline

and hence endangers his health. According to them, relaxation, the opposite of

stress, is essential for a healthy mind and body.

Personally, I’m in favor of the former view. I think it is impossible to

avoid stress when one is entirely devoted to the career he pursues. In my

opinion, it is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor

performance and ill health.
