Flowers are a wonderful gift of nature. Everyone likes them. Flowers portray love， happiness， joy and all the other positive emotions. Since time immemorial flowers have been an integral part of every celebration and festival.

But there has been a misconception. Flowers are mainly associated with feminine gender. It is forgotten that men to have a soft side to them. Gift your father a bouquet of flowers on Father＇s Day and he surely will be overjoyed. Flowers， especially architectural and bold like tropical flowers， which are masculine， long lasting， tall and sturdy like the fathers usually are， can be

given. White and Red Rose are known to be the official flowers of Father＇s Day. People wear a white rose to honor a father who has deceased and a red rose for a father who is living.

花是大自然最美妙的礼物。每个人都喜欢它们。花象征着爱，幸福，欢乐以及所有积极的情感。而那些古老悠久的花已经成为所有仪式和节日中最主要的部分。

但现在人们对花产生了一个误解。大多数时候人们把花与女性联系在一起。人们忘记了男性对花也有温情的一面。在父亲节给你的父亲送上一束鲜花，他保证会欣喜若狂的，尤其是具有建筑风格的，大胆而狂野的热带花朵，它们具有男性的特质，生命力持久，高大而强健，和父亲 的角色往往很相似。白玫瑰和红玫瑰是公认的父亲节节花。白玫瑰象征纪念已故的家严，而红玫瑰象征着赞美健康尚在的父亲。

男人喜欢明快，炙热，大胆以及斗志高昂的颜色，像是黄色，橙色，紫色和红色。他们布置花的时候绝大多数情况下 会与他们有组织的，善于计算的头脑保持一致。他们还喜欢自然的，富有现代感的，时尚新潮的花束。只要他心中有谱，他可能会选择玫瑰，雏菊或其它充满异域风 情的花朵。鲜艳生动的红玫瑰与黄色的雏菊深受大多数男人的喜爱，从而也成为父亲节最理想的鲜花礼物。

This morning, my father took me to school by bike. I sat at the back of the bike, eating a banana. After I ate it up, I threw the skin onto the street randomly.

今天早晨，爸爸骑车带我去上学。我坐在后车座上，吃着香蕉。吃完后，我顺手将香蕉皮扔到了街上。

No sooner had I done this than I realized that I had done something bad to our environment. And maybe someone would step on it and tumble over. I must pick it up. Thinking of these, I asked father to stop. I jumped off the bike and ran back to pick up the banana skin and threw it into a roadside dustbin. Seeing this, father praised me and I felt very happy.

我马上意识到我的所作所为破坏了我们的环境，或许有人会踩在上面而跌倒，我必须把它拾起来。想到这些，我让爸爸停车。我跳下自行车，跑回去拾起香蕉皮，并扔到了路边的垃圾箱里。看到这些，爸爸表扬了我。我感到很高兴。

In future I will protect the surroundings more consciously and think more about others.

将来我要更自觉地保护周围的环境，更多地为他人着想。

我盼啊盼，终于盼来了春节。

奶奶在准备年夜饭，有香甜可口的宫爆鸡丁和糖醋鱼、香喷喷的辣子鸡、粘粘的年糕，以及我们福州有名的小吃“芋泥”、“肉燕”等好吃的，真是“满汉全席”！馋得我口水都流下来了。

妈妈带我去买新衣服，我太开心了。在去得路上，我情不自禁地跳起了舞，街边的人都被我的舞姿吸引了，感觉自己就像个小明星。到了超市卖儿童服装的地方，各式各样的服装绚丽多彩看得我眼花缭乱，有的唐装上面绣有龙，有的上面有各种卡通图案如喜羊羊、米老鼠、迪比狗等，我最喜欢唐装因为上面的龙，栩栩如生，非常漂亮！

买完衣服回家了，看见家家户户都贴春联，我家也不例外，我家贴的是我爸写的“爆竹四起接五福，梅花一支报三春。”说起春联它可跟“桃符”有关系哦，下面我就来说说吧，春联起源于桃符（周代悬挂在大门两旁的长方形桃木板）。清代《燕京时岁记》上记载：“春联者，即桃符也。”后蜀主章逊题桃木板，“新年纳余庆，嘉节号长春”。这便是中国的第一副春联。直到宋代桃符由桃木板改为红纸，叫“春联纸”和“春联”。现在知道了吗？

新年的钟声敲响了，我们迎来了新年的第一缕曙光！

[我喜欢的节日春节作文

My favorite holiday is New Year.Its a very important festival in Chinese cultrue.In fact,its the highlight of the year.Everyone returns home for a family reunion.We have a big feast and chat about all the things that have happened in our lives.People also visit each other.We exchange gifts and good wishes for the next year.

New Year is especially fun for kids.Thats because we get presents and treats,including red envelopes filled with money.We also get to set off fireworks.But we never forget that this holiday is a time to give thanks.We feel grateful for our family and the things that we have.Finally,we think about the future and the great year ahead.

我国的传统节日中，除了春节，我最喜欢的就是端午节了。为什么呢?那我就悄悄地告诉你：端午节有我最爱吃的粽子。

今年的端午节到了，妈妈对我说：“妞妞，今年端午节你学包粽子吧，想不想吃到自己亲手包的粽子呢?”我一听，举双手赞成，早就盼着自己包粽子呢!妈妈还神秘地说：“我还请来一位包粽子专家，给你当老师，保证包教包会。”

正当我丈二和尚摸不着头脑时，外面响起了敲门声，妈妈说：“快去开门吧，老师来了。”我一个箭步冲到门口，想解开这个谜团。打开门一看，原来是我亲爱的姥姥呀!我赶紧把“老师”让进了屋。

妈妈把几天前买好的包粽子材料都端了上来，有泡好的糯米、洗净的粽叶、白棉线，还有大红枣、花生，摆了满满一桌子。姥姥一边整理东西一边说：“妞妞，想学包粽子，可要有耐心呀，当年你

妈妈就是我亲手教会的。”我点了点头，心想：青出于蓝而胜于蓝，我一定能超过妈妈的。说干就干，姥姥先拿起两片粽叶为我做示范，她把粽叶卷成漏斗状，从水中捞起一把糯米放进去，再抓一颗红枣，用剩下的一截叶子包住裹紧，最后用棉线把它牢牢系紧，一个小巧玲珑的粽子就包好了，姥姥包得可真快呀!我已经迫不及待了，学着姥姥的样子，拿起两片粽叶，嘴里还小声说着：“第一步卷成小筒，第二步放糯米，第三步放红枣，第四步系绳子。”可是当我最后一步系绳子的时候，却怎么也系不好，包好的糯米都撒了一地。原来包粽子这么难啊，可不像我想得那么简单。这时姥姥说：“你的问题出在第二步上，放的米太多了，再少放些米，就好包了，万事开头难，多练几次就好了。”听了“老师”的话，我又拿起两片粽叶认真地练起来，这次放的糯米少了，非常顺利地包好了第一个粽子。虽然不是那么好看，可也算成功了。接着，我们又包了很多粽子，我越包越熟练，包的粽子也越来越棱角分明，还受到“老师”的表扬呢!接着，妈妈把我们包好的粽子放在一个大锅里煮，不一会儿满屋都飘着粽子的香味。粽子煮熟了，我赶紧选了一个包得不太好看的粽子，打开“包裹”，津津有味地吃起来……

这个端午节最难忘，因为我吃到了自己亲手包的粽子。

导语：企鹅是生长在南极洲的一种最为著名的鸟类了。它一年四季总爱穿着一套黑白相间的燕尾服，至今还从没见它换呢!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!

They survive in some of the coldest environments in the world - but even penguins appreciate a warm woolly jumper once in a while.

The mini knitted garments have helped save hundreds of flightless birds caught in oil spills providing protection from the elements and stopping them from ingesting poisonous pollution.

Knits for Nature a program run by The Penguin Foundation which conserves the little penguin population of Phillip Island 140km south-east of Melbourne has created up to 300 different designs over the years - and its all thanks to talented volunteers.

‘There’s a lot of hidden creativity out there said Lyn Blom of the Phillip Island Nature Park.

People love to know that they’re helping the penguins because they’re so cute and small and they waddle up the beach and they’re so feisty. But they need to be they live in a pretty tough sort of environment.’

A thumbnail-sized patch of oil can kill little penguins the smallest of the species measuring just 13 inches (33cm) and weighing 2.2lbs (1kg). The oil separates and mats their feathers breaking natural waterproofing and heating functions.

Ms Blom estimates she has knitted between 200 and 300 penguin jumpers over the years including ones in the colours of every Australian Rules football team in the country.

A staff member read an article in an English women’s magazine about knitting for guillemot birds and decided to adapt the designs.

‘There’s an awful lot of ladies out there who used to knit for their children and grandchildren. These ladies have spare wool and idle hands and they love to feel loved and needed and we love and need them’ said Ms Blom.

The Penguin Foundation recently staged a competition for the most creative jumper which received an enthusiastic response.

The Penguin Foundation rescues approximately 20 birds a year. They even have a stockpile of jumpers in case of emergency - such as the large oil spill near Phillip Island in 2001.

In that instance 453 Little Penguins were affected 96 percent of which were saved - most thanks to the jumpers.

企鹅在世界上最寒冷的环境下生存，但有时候它们也渴望有一件温暖的毛衣。

由于石油泄露，企鹅们很可能接触到石油中的微量元素，甚至误食这些有毒的污染物。而迷你毛衣能给它们很好的保护，成功拯救了数百只企鹅。

为了保护菲利普岛(墨尔本东南部140千米处)上的小企鹅，企鹅基金会发起了为企鹅织毛衣的活动。到目前为止，基金会已经设计了300多种不同的毛衣款式，这都要感谢心灵手巧的志愿者们。

菲利普岛上自然公园的工作人员布洛姆说：“我们发现了很多隐藏的创意。”

“人们愿意帮助企鹅，因为它们又小又可爱，活跃极了。在沙滩上摇摆着身体走动时，它们又显得那么坚强。 这又是必然的，毕竟它们生活在这么恶劣的条件下。”

一滩指甲盖大小的石油就足以杀死一只小企鹅。最小的企鹅大概只有13英寸(33厘米)长，体重2.2磅(1千克)。石油会使得它们的羽毛缠结在一起且分散开，这样羽毛就失去了防水和保温的作用。

布洛姆自己就织了大约两到三百件毛衣，她还制作了一个毛衣系列，采用的是澳大利亚所有足球队的代表颜色。

之所以采用毛衣，是因为基金会的一名员工在一本女性杂志上看到了一篇给海鸟织毛衣的文章，随后就决定模仿这一设计。

布洛姆说：“许多女性朋友为自己的孩子织毛衣，她们乐意帮助我们，也会提供多余的毛线和手工，她们喜欢这种被爱被需要的感觉。基金会也非常感谢和需要她们。”

最近，企鹅基金会举办了一场“最具创意毛衣”大赛，获得了不错的反响。

每年，企鹅基金会拯救的企鹅大约在20只。他们甚至还有毛衣储备以应对紧急情况，比如2001年菲利普岛附近的大规模石油泄露事件。

那次事件中，453只企鹅受到了影响，当中96%的企鹅获救——最大的功臣就是毛衣了。
