Mid-autumn Festival is one of the most important festivals for Chinese

people, which even occupies the same position with Spring Festival. It is said

that the festival originated from a love story. A man with great strength shot

nine suns and left only one, while his wife ate the pills by curious heart. At

last, she flied to the moon and had to be separated with her lover. Nowadays,

the meaning of Mid-autumn festival is to let the families get together and enjoy

the time to appreciate the full moon. My families always prepare for some

snacks. When we finish the dinner, all the members will come to the balcony and

sit down, appreciating the full moon. We talk and enjoy the chatting hour. I

have a good time with my families.

中秋节是个全家团圆的日子,是个亲人相聚的日子,是个品尝美味的日子,还是个令人难忘的日子。

中秋这天,爷爷、大伯、姑姑、哥哥们来到我家一起团聚,全家准备吃饺子。大人们忙得热火朝天,我也过来帮帮忙。爸爸用强劲有力的手在面盆里卖力的和着面,我也用尽力气的揉着面,不一会儿,面就被揉的又光又滑了。

一切准备就绪,开始包饺子了。随着妈妈的手上下飞舞,一个个小面团变成了一个个里厚外薄的饺子皮。接下来该我大显身手了,我用小勺把饺子馅放进饺子皮里,用手指一捏,一个小巧玲珑的肉馅饺子就包好了。大家都夸我是“包饺子小能手”。

当热腾腾、胖乎乎的饺子端上桌后,我迫不及待地拿起一个就往嘴里塞,又烫又香的饺子使我又蹦又跳,大家看了我滑稽的样子,都乐得哈哈大笑。

“但愿人长久,千里共婵娟。”我希望每个人中秋节都能和亲人们一起团聚。

“八月十五月儿圆呀,爷爷为我打月饼呀……”又是一年中秋佳节,我又哼唱起小时的这首歌谣。

今年的中秋,月亮格外皎洁,犹如一个盛满了黄金的玉盘,那闪闪发光的小星星,仿佛是从那玉盘中撒落下来的点点碎金。

十五的月亮圆满的,十五的思念是无限的。望着那皎洁的明月,听着外面那热闹的喧哗声,我的脑海不断的出现一个熟悉的脸庞,那就是我的外婆。

我是我的外婆一手带大的,那时我爸爸妈妈都很忙,没有空带我,爸爸妈妈就把我放在外婆家。

多少个日日夜夜,我跟外婆相依为伴,外婆为我喂奶,外婆为我端尿。白天,外婆带我去小河边捉鱼,去山冈上打猪草,去田野里拾稻穗,去菜园里捉虫。夜晚,我躺在外婆的怀抱里,外婆教我最早认识月亮,念童谣“弯弯的月儿,小小的船,小小的船儿两头尖尖……”唱儿歌“八月十五月儿圆呀,爷爷为我打月饼呀……”教我那最早的古诗:“床前明月光,疑是地上霜。举头望明月,低头思故乡。”外婆给我讲嫦娥奔月的故事……

那童年时的这一切一切,都只成了记忆……

外婆已经离去五年了,留下的只有那天空中的明月,留下的只有我对外婆的那一份浓浓的想念。

就在这时,小姨回来了,手里提着一个大蛋糕。我们都很好奇:中秋节不是吃月饼吗,怎么还吃蛋糕?。小姨说:“今天是中秋节,也是我妈妈的生日。”舅姥很惊喜地说:“今天竟然还是我的生日,我自己都忘记了。”我觉得小姨真孝顺,我要向她学习。就这样我们在庆祝中秋的同时,也给舅姥过了一个圆满的生日,还分享了美味的大蛋糕。

早晨,我和爸爸妈妈开车去姥姥家。天上飘了好多云,好像要下雨了。在路上我看见很多农民在辛苦的摘棉花。我问妈妈:“农民伯伯为什么不回家过节吃月饼?”妈妈回答:“一旦下雨,棉花的质量就会降低,卖的钱就会少。”我又问妈妈:“难道摘棉花比过中秋节还重要吗?他们不吃月饼吗?”妈妈说:“他们把月饼拿到农田里去吃,要不就等到干完活晚上回家才吃。”妈妈还说,在农民伯伯的眼中,摘棉花要比过节还重要。

到了姥姥家,天气更加阴沉沉的了,好像马上就要下雨了。姥姥家的院子里晒满了玉米。我和爸爸妈妈找来几个筐子帮姥姥把玉米收进屋子里。以前我从来没干过这么重的活,干着干着我就想休息了,可是爸爸妈妈说要把活干完才休息。

收完玉米我们又去收玉米秆。当我拿起一捆玉米秆时,一只小老鼠从玉米秆里跳了出来吓了我一大跳,但是我还是坚持干完了活。

今年的中秋节虽然我没有吃到月饼,但是我帮姥姥干完了所有的活,我觉得很值得。

今天是农历八月十五日,也是我国的传统节日——中秋节

说到中秋,我们就会联想到中秋赏月,吃月饼等习俗。可是,你知道月亮上有什么,没有什么吗?为了更好的了解月球,妈妈陪我来到了北京天文馆,在这里我看了记录片《奔向月球》。月亮上有山没有水,有阳光没有空气,白天很热,夜里很冷。月亮上没有动物,也没有植物,一片荒凉。我国“嫦娥一号”卫星发射,迈出我们中华儿女奔月梦想的第一步,“嫦娥二号”、“嫦娥三号”、“嫦娥四号”、“嫦娥五号”升空,给我们带来了前所未有的惊喜。使我最感兴趣的是科学家研发的“玉兔”。“玉兔”是一辆月球车,是一台无人探测器,它的本领可大了!它能承受月球表面零下180摄氏度到零上150摄氏度极限温度的环境,并配有先进的科学探测器,专门用来探测月亮上人类无法探测到的东西,“玉兔”在那里工作了972天,是不是很厉害?

可是,今天的月亮就像一位害羞的小姑娘,即使我爬到屋顶,也看不到今天的圆月,我拿起一块月饼吃了起来,我发现五仁馅的月饼很好吃,我和爸爸、妈妈围坐在一起,觉得这个中秋我过的很充实,也很有意义。

Children’s education has been concerned by the public all the time. As they

are the future and will decide a country’s destiny, so the environment matters

so much to them. Most parents expect the school can provide the children a good

learning environment and ignore the importance of home education.

School provides the children a direct stage to receive education. In the

school, the teachers pass knowledge and educate them the right value. The

children know their task and as everybody around them focus the attention on

study, so they are affected by each other and have the strong desire to

learn.

Home education is easy to be ignored by most parents, they think it is the

teachers’ duty to educate children. Actually, most criminal teenagers have

family issues. Parents haven’t set good example for the kids. Sometimes they are

even the trouble makers. Without love, teenagers won’t grow up as the strong

people.

Both school and family environment are important for the children, and they

need to be nurtured with the good examples and learn knowledge.

“更深月色半人家,北斗阑干南斗斜。”,“小时不识月,呼作白玉盘”,“此生此夜不长好,明月明年何处看。”在中秋节这一天背诵着有关月亮的诗句可真有趣呀!

今天是中秋节,一大早,吃过早饭我们一家就决定玩飞花令。比赛规则是:1。如果谁在5秒内没说出含主题字的诗句就算输。2。不能提示别人,不然提示者算输。3。输者要把刚刚飞花令里出现的诗句抄一遍。4。飞花令的主题字是“月”。比赛开始了,妈妈说:“小时不识月。”爸爸说:“举头望明月”我说:“明月几时有”。妈妈又说:“月下飞天镜”,……。,因为爸爸有一个失误,所以爸爸输了。

到了晚上分月饼,我们把月饼分成4份,决定谁说中秋节的来历最准确,谁就吃两块儿。妈妈说:“中秋节是中国的传统节日。”我们听了哈哈大笑,都说她没听题。爸爸说:“中秋一词,最早见于《周礼》。”我说:“因我国古时的历法,农历8月15日,正好是一年的秋季,而且是八月中旬,故称为“中秋”。爸爸妈妈都向我点头,于是我很高兴地吃了两块儿月饼。

我一边吃着月饼,一边赏着向宁潭一样的月亮。我想起了“但愿人长久,千里共婵娟。”的名句。愿天下所有的家庭都快快乐乐。

篇20:关于科学家的英语作文小学

全文共 1837 字

+ 加入清单

Here is a difference between science and technology.Science is a method of

answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical

problems. Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships between

observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to

organize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with

tools,techniques, and procedures for implementing the findings of science.

Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the

progress in each. Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who

seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth with the highest degree of

accuracy and certainty, cannot pay heed to their own or other peoples likes or

dislikes, or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists

discover may shock or anger people--as did Darwins theory of evolution. But

even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the

option of refusing to believe it! But hardly so with technology;we do not have

the option of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic

aircraft-flying overhead; we do not have the option of refusing to breathe

polluted air. Unlike science, progress in technology must be our slave and not

the reverse. The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve peopie--people in

general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely those who

presently wish to gain advantage for themselves.

We are all familiar with the abuses of technology. Many people blame

technology itself for widespread pollution, resource depletion and even social

decay in general--so much so that the promise of technology is obscured. That

promise is a cleaner and healthier world. If wise applications of science and

technology do not lead to a better world, what else will?
