My mother always told people that the food in yangyang in my family was full of sound. Hey hey, anyway also do not have white eat, at least also calculate come in use, tube it. I havent learned much yet, and the high bridge of the nose is set up. Telescope & throughout; . Grandpa told me that I was the future. Scholars & throughout; Is it not clear to me that scholars are not scholars? Only because of the long time to receive glasses. Oppression & throughout; The small eyes have turned into a “ The sight & throughout; , the bridge of the nose is crushed and mouth “ Hug & throughout; . This has become an indisputable fact.

I love telling jokes. Every time I tell a joke, there will always be a great audience. Fans & throughout; ? Every time they told a joke, they would laugh their head off, not to laugh, but to laugh, to climb on the bench, to the waist, or even to climb on the ground, to roll. Once, a friend finish listen to my jokes, laughs at sitting on the ground, as there is a pool of water, waiting for him to react when drenched in pants, we began to laugh at him urine trousers.

What? Do you have any hobbies? That still use say, can say is all sorts of different, linlang, xi xi, words heavy. But to say my favorite hobby, Im reading books. On this occasion, my father was watching the football match on TV, and I said that I would like to go to my grandmothers house, and my father nodded and agreed. I go to the toilet, I want to be convenient to go to, did not think the lavatory to put my favorite "childrens literature", wow, many good opportunity ah! God help me, too. My father was afraid that my eyes were too nearsighted and serious, always against me, today he watched the ball game I read a book, exactly two, so I sit directly on the toilet, with relish to look up. The trip to grandmas house had been thrown out of the sky. I didnt know how long it was before I heard my dad calling my grandmother, as if he had mentioned me. Later, I heard my father call my mother and three aunts, and I didnt know what to say. It seemed to be a little urgent, and then I heard my father coming downstairs. It is important to read books when you have to do so much. What a new discovery! Later, read a book to come here, god undetected, no one disturb, how quiet!

About an hour or so, dad came back, I dont care the story was provoked laughed, dad heard the sound of the toilet, and opened the door a look, see I was reading a book, sitting on the toilet at that time I was so angry fire emit three zhangs, scold I didnt go to grandmas, had they been looking all over for me, also almost called the police, I have a look awful, apologized to his father as quickly. & other; Did you not see that the baby didnt go out? Throughout the &; Mom, thanks to my mom helping me out, dad didnt do it. & hellip;

This is me, a one-belly joke, a little boy with an addiction to books.

我,姓李名飞阳,九岁已有余,十岁尚不足,语文老师还戏说我什么“大风起兮云飞扬”,也许是爸爸把这个“阳”字起别了的缘故吧,我丝毫没有飞起来的感觉,倒觉得自己平凡得如一粒沙子,是属于扎在草堆里找不到的那种料。

我个子不高,瘦得像一根筷子,属于营养不良型,只有声音还撑体面,唱起歌来洪亮如钟,气势非凡,颇有余音绕梁之势。妈妈常跟人说,我家阳阳吃的饭全长在声音上了。嘿嘿,反正也没有白吃,至少也算派上用场了,管它呢。还没有学到多少知识,那个高高的鼻梁上就架起了一副“望远镜”。爷爷总私心地说我是未来的“学者”,学者不学者,难道我自己还不清楚吗?只是由于长时间受眼镜的“压迫”,本来不大的眼睛变成了“一线天”,鼻梁被压得差点和嘴巴“拥抱”。这可已成为不争的事实。

我很爱讲笑话。每次讲笑话时,总会有许多铁杆听众,也算“粉丝”吧?每讲完一段笑话,他们准会笑得前俯后仰,不是笑得肚子痛,就是笑得爬在板凳上,直不起腰来,有的甚至干脆爬在地上,打起滚来。有一次,一个小伙伴听完我的笑话,一下子笑得坐在地上,正巧那儿有一滩水,等他反应过来时,裤子已经湿透了,我们又开始笑他尿裤子了。

啥?你问我有没有爱好?那还用说,可以说是五花八门、琳琅满目,嘻嘻,言重了吧。不过要说我最大的爱好嘛,还得数看书了。有这么一次,爸爸在看电视上的足球赛,我说想去奶奶家,爸爸点了点头,算是同意了。我走进厕所,本想方便一下就去的,没想到厕所里放着我最爱看的《儿童文学》,哇,多好的机会啊!真是天助我也。平时爸爸怕我眼睛近视严重,总是防着我,今天他看球赛我看书,正好两不误,于是我就直接坐在马桶上,津津有味地看了起来。去奶奶家的事早被抛到九霄云外了。也不知过了多久,听见爸爸在给奶奶打电话,好像还提到了我。后来又听到爸爸给妈妈和三姨她们一个个打电话,不知在说着什么,好像还有点急,紧接着听见爸爸下楼的声音。管那么多干啥,机不可失,时不再来,看书要紧。这可是个新的发现啊!以后看书就到这儿来,神不知鬼不觉的,没人打扰,多清静呀!

大约一小时左右吧,爸爸回来了,我不小心被文中的故事惹得笑出了声,爸爸听见了厕所里的声音,打开门一看,见我正坐在马桶上看书,当时就气得火冒三丈,骂我没有去奶奶家,害得他们到处找我,还差点儿报了警,我一看大事不妙,就赶忙向爸爸认错。“你一个大活人就没有发现娃没有出门吗?”还是妈妈好,多亏妈妈帮我解围,爸爸才算没有动手,唉,好险啊……

这就是我,一个一肚子笑话,看书成瘾的小男孩。

篇20:介绍清明节英语作文

全文共 2135 字

The Qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in china, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will rise up and rainfall increases. It is the high time for spring plowing and sowing. But the Qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.

The Qingming Festival sees a combination of sadness and happiness.

This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and sweep the tombs of the diseased. Also, they will not cook on this day and only cold food is served.

The Hanshi (cold Food) Festival was usually one day before the Qingming Festival. As our ancestors often extended the day to the Qingming, they were later combined.

On each Qingming Festival, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. Traffic on the way to the cemeteries becomes extremely jammed. The customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs, people offer food, flowers and favorites of the dead, then burn incense and paper money and bow before the memorial tablet.

In contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers, people also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. The Qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times, people have followed the custom of Spring outings. At this time tourists are everywhere.

People love to fly kites during the Qingming Festival. Kite flying is actually not limited to the Qingming Festival. Its uniqueness lies in that people fly kites not during the day, but also at night. A string of little lanterns tied onto the kite or the thread look like shining stars, and therefore, are called "gods lanterns."

The Qingming Festival is also a time to plant trees, for the survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast later. In the past, the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But since 1979, "Arbor Day" was settled as March 12 according to the gregorian calendar.
