庆祝教师节的英语作文实用20篇

Two years ago, I was a bad child, I didn’t listen to what my parents told

me, I do against what they expect me to do. One day, I go home very late, my

mother is very angry, but she says nothing. At first, I feel happy, the next

morning, she still ignores me, I begin to feel lonely, I cry and say sorry. My

mother smiles and says I should change myself, since then, I become a good

child.

I want to grow up as soon as possible. When I grow up, I can do many things

that I can’t now. However, at the same time, I am afraid. I don’t know what my

future life would be. Look around myself, some people are busy working for

having enough food to eat and live better; some are achieving every goal that

they make; some may live in the poor situation. I don’t know what kind of life I

would have in the future. But I know that everyone’s life is in their hands. So

I will try my best to work hard for a better future life.

有人说，老师，只是我们人生的一个过渡！但是，我一直不敢相信这是真的！

今天，老师离开了我们，带着眼泪离开的老师——刘老师让我们感到了她在时，我们所拥有的幸福！但是现在，一切都晚了！曾经的美好回忆，已成了过去，时间，不能再次上演，师生情已不能再次来过，现在只剩伤心与后悔！

这些年，风也过，雨也过，六年的小学生活已经结束，陪伴我走过六个春夏秋冬的老师们也离我而去，我很伤心，因为这让我感到十分无奈，十分孤独。没有了老师的斥责，也没有了老师的管制。

暑假来了，我该怎么去面对，真想去看看我的老师呀！但是，时间早已被爸爸妈妈安排的满满的！作为一个中学生的我，在爸爸妈妈眼中个必须要学习，不要总是跑着玩！但我也是一个孩子呀！我有玩的权力，但爸爸妈妈为什么总是不理解我！看来这次，想去老师是别想了！

今天突然想起了我的老师，这种思念我无法来形容。因为老师对我的关心不能用三言两语来形容。老师，就像园丁般，守候着我们这些花朵，老师，像母亲般，哺育着我们这些孩子！

我欺骗了老师，老师问我英语考了多少？我明明考了94，而跟老师说我考了103，那一次，我错了，我一看见老师就非常害怕，我害怕老师突然把我叫过去批评我！就这样，我心惊胆战过了两天。那时，我真想去像老师承认错误，但是我没有勇气，直到今天，我依旧是那么后悔……

今天我们班举行了辞旧岁迎新年联欢会。同学们高兴得不得了。有的擦玻璃，有的剪彩纸，有的吹气球，还有的扎花环。一下子把教室打扫得干干净净，又打扮得漂漂亮亮。

联欢会开始了，第一个节目是“吹蜡烛”，表演者岑双双一本正经地站在前边，老师划了根火柴点着放在讲台上的三支彩色小蜡烛，“笃——”哨声响过，岑双双深深地吸了一口气，瞪了瞪大眼，双唇一拢，气流呼呼地直向小蜡烛扑去，再仔细一看，“咦，”小蜡烛头一歪就灭了。“好!胜利了!胜利了!”同学们欢呼雀跃……

Science and technology have been bringing human beings tremendous benefits.

Thanks to science and technology, we now live comfortably and conveniently in

houses furnished with air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines and

televisions etc. Thanks to science and technology, we can eat fresh vegetables

at the year round. Thanks to science and technology, we can travel long

distances in the fraction of a second on planes, trains and cars. Thanks to

science and technology, we wear clothes with synthetic materials which can not

easily be worn out.

However, science and technology have atso brought us a lot of disasters.

First, because of the many breakthroughs in the field of medicine, people are

now living much longer than they used to. As a result, the population of the

world is increasing, causing lots of problems. Second, because of the

development of industry, lots of the wastes from factories pour into the air and

rivers, causing pollution of all kinds. Third, some terrorists are using science

and technology against mankind. They use biological, chemical and unclear

weapons to threaten world peace...

So its urgent that we find ways to solve these problems. But we should not

stop the development of science and technology because of these disasters they

bring, just as we should not give up eating for fear of choking. In addition, we

should make some rules to regulate our actions. As long as we use science and

technology in a proper way, they may bring us even more benefits.

[初中教师节英语作文

今天，是一个快乐的日子，因为今天是9月10日教师节。我和同学们都兴高采烈地来到学校。我和同学们一起布置教室，想给孙老师一个惊喜。我们分工起来，有的人是在楼梯口，看老师来没来，如果来了就马上回教室，让同学们做好准备，有的在做幻灯片，有的布置教室……

老师进来了，我们一起说：“老师节日快乐！”随后女生们给老师献花。老师笑了，笑得是多么慈祥，多么美！老师看到了同学们送来许多礼物，有康乃馨、还有百合花和玫瑰……在桌子上还有一些夹心巧克力等。他们都象征着我们全体同学对老师的爱。

我们一起唱《感恩的心》，打着手语，由王柳今、蔡林研、王闻硕、邸雨宁到前面做示范。这首歌表达了我们对老师的感激之情。

接着我们又唱了《奔跑》，张子淇、都基予、王子豪、我还有刘岩伴舞，逗得大家捧腹大笑。后来，老师让我们给她一个热情的拥抱和一个亲热地的吻。开始，我们都不好意思，但是后来也都争先恐后地给老师一个拥抱，一个吻。张芳泽惠一个箭步跑过去给老师一个拥抱，一个甜蜜的吻。老师对我们说：“你们就好像是我55个儿女一样。”

最后，老师让我们3个人3个人和老师一起照相留念，手里捧着鲜花。

我非常感谢老师，老师一学期以来照顾我们，为我们操心，非常劳苦，我一定不会辜负老师对我的期望，做一名优秀的学生。

本学期，我将结合学校工作计划和学校教学工作计划的要求，规范常规教学，提高教学质量，努力形成自己的教学特色。

一、总体思路

以努力提高教学质量为目标，以抓好教学常规工作，提高英语合格率为重点，采用任务型教学法，注重“学困生”的教育补差工作，形成良好的教学风气。

二、学生情况分析

经过一学期的学习，从上期期末成绩来看，七年级两个班的英语成绩比较理想。平均分82分。大部分学生学习目的明确，态度端正，掌握了英语学习的一些基本方法，能够积极主动认真地学习，学习成绩较好。但还有少部分学生没有明确的学习目的，缺少学习的热情和主动性，自觉性较差，相应的学习习惯也差，加上两极分化十分严重。

三、教材分析

《Goforit》七年级下册共14个单元，包括2个复习单元。全书采用任务型语言教学模式，融汇话题、交际功能和语言结构，形成了一套循序渐进的生活化的学习程序。每个单元都列出明确的语言目标，主要的功能项目与语法结构，需要掌握的基本词汇，并分为A、B两部分。A部分是基本的语言内容，B部分是知识的扩展和综合的语言运用。每个单元还有selfcheck部分，供学生自我检测本单元所学的语言知识。它采用“语言的输入---学生的消化吸收---学生的语言输出”为主线编排的。

四、教学目标

掌握本册书上的重点词汇、词组以及句型。通过本学期的学习，培养学生对英语的学习兴趣，形成有效的学习策略，有效提高学习效率，发展双基能力;培养听、说、读、写的能力，使学生初步获得运用英语的能力，达到语言运用能力的迁移和拓展;通过了解世界，了解不同地区的人文风俗，学会理解和尊重异国文化，并使学生在人际交往中学会尊重和理解别人，能在小组活动中积极与他人合作，相互帮助，共同完成学习任务，尽情享受学习的乐趣。

五、教学措施

1、加强词汇教学，包括单词拼写、词义记忆，语言功能的训练。

词汇是文章、句子的基本单位，词汇量的大小，将直接关系到学生能否流利地运用英语进行交际;能否熟练地用英语读和写;能否顺利地用英语思考。从上学期的期末考试所反映的问题看，在今后的教学中，在加强拼读与拼写的同时，应帮助学生进行有意识记，应加强对词的用法及内在含义的理解，要培养学生用英语解释单词的能力，逐步启发引导学生用英语思考。单词教学一定要做到词不离句，这样，学生在学会了单词的同时，也学会了词的一些基本用法。

2、每天背诵课文中的对话，培养语感。

3、基本的语法教学一定要与语境相结合。

进行语法操练时，要坚持“四位一体”，即话题、语境、结构、功能相结合。抓住话题，联系语境，确定语法结构，明确语法功能(交际功能)。要重视语法知识对于培养语言运用功能的基础作用，又要注重改革教法。课堂上一定要有生动活泼的教学活动。

4、进一步培养阅读能力和写作能力。

阅读和写作能力的培养是英语教学的又一重点。阅读和写作能力的培养在于平时。教师在平时讲解阅读理解题时，应着力帮助学生分析语言材料，而不是核对答案;平常应该多写作文。

5、做好学困生转化和优秀生培养工作。

优秀生：___，___，__，___。

学困生：___，___，__，___，___，___，___，___，___，___，___，___，___。

尤其对学困生进行专门辅导，布置一些作业，让他们在小进步、小转变中体会学习的快乐，树立学习的自信，尽快成长起来。

6、继续搞好师徒结对活动。

师徒结对活动也是一种好的学习方式。

7、作业布置要做到数量适中，批阅及时，对出现的问题要跟踪矫正，认真讲评，尽量面批面改。提高练习质量，要精选资料。

六、教研课题

《浅谈英语阅读能力的培养》

措施：用新的教学理念指导英语阅读教学，进一步改变教法和学法，培养学生对英语阅读的兴趣，提高学生的英语阅读能力，提高英语教学效果。

1、尝试通过各种形式的学习，例如复述课文、把课文改编成情景剧、阅读竞赛等活动，提高学生学习英语的兴趣，从而达到自主积累、综合运用英语的目的，并指导学生运用科学的方法记忆单词、阅读课文，取得事半功倍的效果。

2、通过信息技术与学科整合的手段，以课内为基础，增加课外阅读的量，指导学生借助信息手段和工具书理解文章基本内容的方法，提高学生的英语自学能力。

3、以复述课文、回答问题、判断正误、通过上下文线索猜词义为载体，培养学生的综合阅读技能，提高学生的英语阅读理解能力。

教师的事业是多么的崇高，教师能在昨天与今天之间铺设大道，能在现实和理想之间架起金桥。古今中外，每个人的成长都浸透着教师的心血。地北天南，每一项创造都蕴含着教师的辛劳。教师的事业是多么的美好，教师能用真理和智慧把人才塑造，让春晖和朝霞在心灵闪耀。

一年一度的教师节就要来临了，大家都在紧锣密鼓地准备着教师节礼物。我想我还是一名小学生，买不起什么昂贵的礼物。于是，我就做一张贺卡送给老师。说做就做，回到家里，我拿来一张天蓝色的纸，拿出水彩笔，写上“庆祝教师节”这几个大字，在旁边画出我最喜欢的图案，然后再写上“老师，教师节快乐!祝您身体健康，万事如意!”贺卡终于做完了，我拿着自己亲手做的贺卡，心里别提有多高兴了，我想当我把这张自己亲手做的贺卡送给老师时，老师肯定会很高兴。

Dragon Boat Festival is one the very classic traditional festivals, which

has been celebrated since the old China. Firstly, it is to in honor of the great

poet Qu Yuan, who jumped into the water and ended his life for loving the

country. Nowadays, different places have different ways to celebrate.

In my hometown, there will be a traditional competition, that is the dragon

boat race. People make up the team and fight for the honor. Every boat looks

like the dragon and it is the most obvious feature. A lot of people will come to

visit or watch the match. Then the game begins. The audience will cheer for the

teams and the competitors try their best to make the boat go fast. It is very

lively.

Besides the competition, eating the traditional food zongzi is favored by

everyone. For me, it is very delicious. My grandma makes the best zongzi. She

has the special recipe and it fits my stomach. So every time I go back hometown,

my grandma will make it for me.

In other places, drinking the special wine and hanging the leaf are also

the tradition. The preserve of the traditional festival makes our culture

profound.

In China, teachers are held in high esteem. September 10th is the TeachersDay of China. This day is in honor of all those involved in the teaching profession.

September 28th is the birthday of the world-famous teacher Confucius-KongZi. Kongzi is a great philosopher and he is also a great teacher. He had thousands of disciples (students), including Aristotle. In the ancient times, Kongzi’s birthday was regarded as a TeachersDay.

Now, September 10th is the TeachersDay of China. In the year f 1984, Wang Zishen, former president of Beijing Normal University, suggested to establish a festival day for the Chinese teachers. On Jan. 21st,1985,September 10th was fixed as the TeachersDay of China.

在中国，教师受到很大的尊重。9月10日是中国的教师节。这是为了纪念所有从事教育事业的人们。

9月28是闻名于世的孔子的生辰。孔圣人是个伟大的哲学家，但他又是个伟大的老师。他有许多门徒，就是今天我们说得学生，包括亚里士多德。在古代的时候，人们把孔子的生辰作为教师节。

现在，9月10日是中华人民共和国的教师节。在1984年，王梓坤教授，北京师范大学前校长，建议要建立中国的教师节。 在1985年的1月，第六届全国人大常委会第九次会议确定，每年9月10日为中国的教师节。

The 2012 Summer Olympic Games, London 2012 are scheduled to take place in

London, United Kingdom, from 27 July to 12 August 2012. London was selected as

the host city on 6 July 2005. London made great efforts to compete for the

Olympic Games. However, because of the financial crisis in 2008, London met many

troubles in Finance. London has successfully held two Olympic Games before, the

fourthin 1908 and the 14th in1948. This Games have a total of 26 items, and will

produce 302 gold medals. We hope that our Chinese athletes can get good results

in this Games.

一年一度的教师节又来临了。教室里乱哄哄的，原来同学们在议论教师节送老师什么礼物。在放学的路上，小萌看见草地上开满了鲜艳的野花。小萌想:这么漂亮的野花，不如采一点送给李老师吧!

清早，太阳刚刚从地平线上爬起来，小萌就捧着一大束野花来了。小萌今天穿的可真漂亮啊!小辫子上扎着红绸子，粉红色的上衣上佩带着红领巾。在阳光的照射下，红领巾闪着金色的光芒。她那柳条般的眉毛下有一双炯炯有神的大眼睛，好像里面有着无穷的智慧。她那樱桃般的小嘴上，露出了灿烂的笑容，美极了!小萌小心翼翼地将一支支野花放人老师的笔筒，生怕破坏了这美好的一切。小萌突然看见老师的眼镜压在了语文书上。她想:李老师是多么为我们着想，这么早就来学校备课。

李老师推开门，被眼前的一切惊住了。那些插在笔筒里的野花，在阳光的照耀下是多么美丽啊!李老师嫣然一笑。他急忙向窗口望了望，可那送花的女孩——小萌，却早已消失在人群之中。

一年一度的教师节到了，我想用我的零花钱买一个小礼物送给彭老师。于是我就把这个想法告诉了妈妈，妈妈同意了。

我和妈妈来到超市，看到货架上的货物种类繁多，琳琅满目，我犹豫了，我想彭老师平时为了我们的学习，那么操心，那么辛苦，买什么好呢?馋嘴的我一下子想到了巧克力，对，就买巧克力!因为巧克力是我的最爱，我想彭老师也一定很喜欢吧!于是我就买了一小盒。我还亲手做了一张贺卡放在巧克力盒里，祝愿老师节日快乐!

我把小礼物送给彭老师，我笑呵呵地说：“祝彭老师节日快乐!”彭老师开心地说：“谢谢，老师非常开心，但最好的礼物还是你好好学习!”

听了老师的话，我感觉很有道理。是呀，其实最好的礼物就是我们好好学习，取得优异的成绩来报答老师对我们的辛勤培育。

尊敬的老师：

您好，今天是教师节，祝您节日快乐。

老师，您知道吗？您开始当我们的班主任时我们已经上四年级了对我们来说您就像一个“后妈”陌生感使您的言行让我们处处感到不自在总觉得您没有以前的老师好。

可是后来我们却慢慢地爱上了您。经过我们的观察发现您有几个特点：

一、您讲得课既生动有趣；

二、您对同学们非常负责；

三、您比任何老师都有耐心。后来我们又在板报上看到了您还是省级优秀教师这使我们对您的敬意更加浓厚了。

记得有一次一个您曾教过的学生的家长到我家做客便给我们讲起了您的先进事迹其中就有一条说您对学生非常负责这使我不禁想起了一件事情：随着课程难度的加深有些同学接受不了于是您常常给他一遍又一遍地讲解直到他听明白为止。您还经常占用休息时间为同学们辅导而您却不图任何报酬。

老师虽然时光的长河会漂走您青春的美貌但您那颗美好的心灵却不会随时间衰老颗颗童心会使您永远青春年少。

最后，在这个属于您的节日里，我希望您身体健康，万事如意。

The New Year is coming and this term has finished. Now, I can enjoy a happy

winter holiday. In winter holiday, I don’t have to get up early every morning.

It’s the best thing for me. I often get up at nine o’clock in the morning. My

parents go to work so I stay at home alone. I will go out for breakfast. Noodle,

milk and egg are my favorites. Then I go back home to watch TV or meet my

friends. We always have many things to do. My parents would go home at noon so I

have lunch at home. In the afternoon, I will sleep and then do some homework. In

short, I spend most time in playing. I love winter holiday.

今天是9月10日，教师节。上午，我们只上了一节课，就排着整齐的队伍，来到西安师范礼堂，参加庆祝教师节大会。

一进大礼堂，我首先看到一个美丽的大舞台。台上打着灯光，挂着红色的幕布；台下摆着主席台，上面坐着领导。

同学们有次序地走向座位，刚刚坐下，就高兴的议论开了。这个说：“这地方真美呀！”那个说：“这舞台真大呀！”……

忽然，大家静了下来。啊！原来是我们学校的龙主任宣布会议开始了。龙主任首先介绍了台上的几位领导。接着是全体老师走上前台，少先队员向老师戴上美丽的花环；每个年级组都有一个老师讲话。

轮到四年级组的组长——我们的班主任汪老师讲话了。只见他满面春风的走上讲台，声音洪亮的说：“同学们，祝你们学得轻松，学得快乐，这是我们全体老师的希望，也是我们今后工作的努力方向……”汪老师的讲话，引起了台下一阵阵热烈的掌声。

是啊！汪老师讲得太好了，他的话讲到了我们的心坎上了。老师们知道，我们现在的学习压力太大了。为了将来能考上一个好中学，我们有多少人，不得不在星期天去参加各种补习班，就连节假日也没有休息。

在一片掌声中，三个主持节目的同学同时走上舞台，宣布节目开始。今天的节目非常精彩，有同学表演，还有同学和老师一起上台表演。表演的节目有唱歌，有舞蹈，还有小品和诗歌朗诵。我们的贺老师，还和我们班的同学一起表演了《兔子舞》。我们的马校长，还上台演唱了动画片《西游记》插曲。他唱得真是好听极了，引起了台下一阵阵的掌声。歌声，掌声，汇成了一曲优美动人的交响曲。这时，我看到，全场的老师和同学，都沉浸在无比的喜悦之中。

看完节目，我们就开始给遭受洪灾的灾区小朋友捐款。只见各班的值日班长，抱着捐款箱在同学们面前走来走去，同学们都把自己身上的零花钱拿出来投进捐款箱。最后一登记，嗬！光我们班就捐了80多元钱呢！

接着，又见龙主任抱着一个大红箱子放在舞台上。大家都在好奇地问：“拿这个干什么用呀？”嗷！原来这是老师们的捐款箱。这时，只见所有的老师，一个跟一个地走上舞台，拿出自己的钱放入箱内。台下的同学，都在使劲地给老师鼓掌……

通过今天参加庆祝教师节活动，我更加热爱我们的老师。同时，我也明白了老师对我们的希望，明白了老师最喜欢的礼物，就是我们在学习上能获得一个好成绩。我一定要好好学习，学好本领，只有这样，才能不辜负老师对我们的希望。

Thank sunshine flowers, because the sunshine tending it grow; The eagle thanks to the blue sky, because the blue sky let it fly freely; Teacher, I thank you, because you to our knowledge, make our healthy growth.

Once, when I was sick for a week, take medicine not better, is that you give me to find a kind of earthwork, cured my disease. My grades down, is your patience to help me, until I put on. Before the test, the teacher always reminds us to check carefully, to solve the problem. When we came home from school, but also on the old table is a dear teacher corrects students papers.

Teacher, I thank you, is your selfless dedication, teach us knowledge. When we grow up, you are old, my love for you will never "old", said the daughter is mother close small cotton-padded jacket, I would like to do you a sweet little quilted jacket, accompany in your side, let you feel warm forever.

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.

My grandparents believed you were either honest or you werent. There was

no in between. They had a simple motto hanging on their living-room wall: "Life

is like a field of newly fallen snow; where I choose to walk every step will

show. "They didnt have to talk about it--they demonstratedthe motto by the way

they lived. They understood instinctively that integrity means having a personal

standard of morality and ethics that does not sell out to expediency and that is

not relative to the situation at hand. Integrity is an inner standard for

judging your behavior.Unfortunately, integrity is in short supply today--and

getting scarcer. But it is the real bottom line in every area of society.And it

is something we must demand of ourselves.

A good test for this value is to look at what I call the Integrity Trial,

which consists of three key principles: Stand firmly for your convictions in the

face of personal pressure.

When you know youre right, you cant back down. Always give others credit

that is rightfully theirs. Dont be afraid of those who might have a better idea

or who might even be smarter than you are. Be honest and open about who you

really are. People who lack genuine core values rely on external factors--their

looks or status---in order to feel good about themselves. Inevitably they will

do everything they can to preserve this facade,but they will do very little to

develop their inner value and personal growth.

So be yourself. Dont engage in a personal cover-up of areas that are

unpleasing in your life. When its tough, do it tough. In other words, face

reality and be adult in your responses to lifes challenges.

Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity

and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.

Integrity means you do what you do because its right and not just

fashionable or politically correct. A life of principle, of not succumbing to

the seductive sirens of an easy morality,will always win the day. My

grandparents taught me that.
