春节英语作文六年级【汇集20篇】

我不怎么喜欢花，只是为了完成老师布置的一个作业而已，所以才养了花。它们不是富丽堂皇的牡丹，也不是浓情艳丽的玫瑰，更不是馥郁芬芳的稚菊，它们只是平凡无奇的水仙花。

水仙花不像那些奇花异草，对环境要求很高，它们只需要水，就能赖以生存。它们一开始其貌不扬，甚至可以说是丑陋。与大蒜头差不多，密密的紧挨在一起。底下还长着大把大把的胡须，就像上了年纪的老公公。我把它们放在阳台上，不怎么去搭理它们，几天才换一次水，任由它们自生自灭。因此，妈妈总说我狠心。

可是，那水仙花好像很“倔强”，我越是置之不理，它们越是长得茁壮、茂盛。片片叶子，笔直向上，嫩嫩的，绿绿的。乍一看去，阳台上郁郁葱葱，一大堆一大堆满是的，好像迷你的热带丛林。我既为这些小家伙得意，又为它们那股“倔脾气”而折服。

而水仙花的毅力好像不止这些，它们远远超乎我的想象：赶在新年到来之际，那些几乎被我遗忘的水仙花，居然开出了许多淡黄色的小花。一丛丛，一簇簇，我真的为它们震惊，为它们窃喜。你看，有的花茎足有一尺多高，一枝上有七八朵小花，朝同一个方向绽放，就像一个个亭亭玉立的青春少女，在绿叶丛中翩翩起舞！当一股股清淡诱人的香味扑鼻而来时，足以会让你望而却步。

天啊！我已经好久没换水了。而它们似乎并不在乎，也不计较，依然紧紧簇拥，风采依旧。我对它们如此冷酷无情，它们却还给了我一片馥郁的天地，它们是如此宽容，如此大度，一股敬佩之情油然而生。从此，我再也不敢小看水仙花了。

整个春节，这些水仙花始终充满活力，充满芳香，为本已牛气冲天的节日更增添了一份喜气！哦！水仙花！这个新年，我们是伴着花香度过的！

每年春节雷打不动的要看“春晚”、吃饺子和拜年。我最喜欢的就是一家人快快乐乐地坐在一起包饺子。

今年和平时的除夕夜一样熬夜看“春晚”，包饺子，每年都是奶奶煮好，我只有吃的份，今年我已经十一岁了，希望能学会包饺子。

妈妈怕我浪费面，所以把面和好让我做皮。饺子好吃的最重要的环节就是活馅儿，我先把白菜洗好，然后把白菜根切掉，再把发黄的叶子去掉，把白菜切成细丝，再从左向右反复剁成碎末。然后在肉馅里放入料酒、酱油、盐等调料，把鸡蛋炒熟准备和馅用。

妈妈切好面块，让我先把它们团成球，然后用手按成圆片。用擀面棍擀成圆片。刚开始我的饺子皮擀得一边厚一边薄，这样的饺子皮儿包不起来，我只好把它们团起来重新擀。没想到皮儿沾了面以后就团不起来了，手一松还掉到了地上。妈妈过来教我擀皮儿：“先把饺子剂子按扁就好擀了，一手拿着皮儿，一手擀，像我这样一边转圈儿一边擀，不要太用力”。

我照着妈妈的样子试了试，还真容易多了，我高兴的说：“我也会擀皮儿了，谢谢妈妈。”不一会儿我擀了一小摞儿饺子皮，这是妈妈也把馅儿活好，可以正式的包饺子啦！我学着爸爸妈妈的样子，先在饺子皮中间放半勺馅儿，然后把两边的皮儿折在一起，用右手食指拖着皮儿，再把两层皮儿捏在一起就包好了。我发现爸爸妈妈包的饺子是立着的，而我包的饺子却是躺着的，这是为什么呢？说不定以后熟练了饺子就能立起来了。

今年春节我比往年都高兴，不仅因为我又长大了一岁，最重要的是家人吃到了我包的饺子，人人都夸我聪明能干，我无比自豪。

站在广场上，抬头一看，一座金碧辉煌的宫殿耸立在眼前，黄色的琉璃瓦闪闪发光。这就是太和殿。往太和殿内一看，太和殿内金光闪闪的宝座，坐落在正中的须弥坐式楠木平台上，宝座周围是六根沥粉蟠龙金柱，气势磅礴。

new year party

on new years eve，our class had a party. the atmosphere was good. it was out of the ordinary from the very begining. the boy student from one bedroom gave an unusual performance. we saw a boy named li xinmin turn off all the lights in a sudden snap. then with three resounding(响亮的) crow of a cock echoing in the hall，the hall was again brightly lit in a snap.

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(机智的). 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."

新年晚会

在除夕，我们班有一个聚会。气氛好。它是寻常从一开始。从一间卧室男生给一个不寻常的表现。我们看到名为李新民在突然关闭所有的灯单元一个男孩。然后用三个响亮的(响亮的)的回荡在大厅里鸡叫，大厅明亮又在瞬间点燃。

然后，卧室的朱国章代表要求我们猜测了有关上述情况的诗。他补充说，李新民单是出生在狗年，其他三个都在鸡年出生的。他们给我们留下了所有的混乱。它是我们的班长谁是quickwitted(机智的)。他喊我们，“天休息的鸡叫三在黎明倍。“大厅之后，他们还有另外一个项目。这一次李新民被放置在圆的中间。当他站在那里，其他三个人围着他站着，低头在每一个120度的角度下去见他。这是一个成语。这一次我得到了它的权利：“。狗中脱颖而出的鸡群!“

寒假生活就好像火箭“嗖”的一下就过去了，爱玩的我还没玩够呢就要开学了。每次寒假我都特别开心，因为过大年呀!

整个寒假除了写作业，还和家里的大人们一起贴春联，帮着妈妈包了饺子，在婆婆家放了烟花爆竹，还和我的好朋友大旭一起玩了个够。

大年初四那天，妈妈带我去了婆婆家，说要寻找年味，妈妈问我知不知道什么叫年味。“吃饺子，吃大餐，要红包!”妈妈笑了：“嗯，也不错，年味其实就是一家人在一起包水饺，吃着年夜饭，看看春节晚会，亲朋好友间互相拜个年，聊聊絮絮……”

在婆婆家的那几天就是大人们你来我往，吃吃喝喝，玩玩转转，去农家乐摘了草莓。让我记忆犹新的还是和大旭在景点套圈，打气枪。

记得那天景点里人非常多，各种店卖吃的玩的，什么纪念品的。当时就看见一个广场处围着好多人，原来都是在玩套圈，有的有套娃娃的，有的有套塑料盆或凳子的，有的是套玩具枪的，还有一个大家谁都想不到的，居然还有套大白鹅的。我特别意外，第一次看到这种套圈可以套鹅，我和大旭跃跃欲试，都想着如果套到的话，那我们可就发了，可以吃老鹅煲了。

在我和大旭的请求下，妈妈给我俩20元买了十个圈。好不容易排到我们了，我和大旭迫不及待地挤进去。开始套鹅了，这个围栏里有六只鹅，还都挤在一起。看准机会，我们就立刻把圈对准鹅那高昂的头扔了过去，可是每次大白鹅们就吓得脖子一缩，圈就套空，滚落在地上了，急得我直跺脚。大旭也是一副不套到鹅不罢休的样子，正集中注意力对准了一只最小的鹅，就看到他胳膊一抬，手里的圈啪的一下砸了过去。“嘎嘎嘎嘎”……小鹅大鹅吓得落荒而逃，又没套中!就这样我们一扔，那些白鹅就拍着翅膀，快速连蹦带跳躲到了一边。最后圈没了，鹅也一只没套到。

虽然没套到鹅，可是哥哥后来给我们套到了玩具枪，我和大旭还打了气枪，所以我和大旭特别高兴。

期待下一个寒假，下一个春节!

Finally, when he was a young man, his fathers friends wanted to take his fathers boat. And he went with them. Unluckily, the boat ran up on a rock and this made a lot of sailors and passengers die but Robinson was alive! He went on a small land. There was nobody, no water or food. You could imagine that it was too hard to live. However, he put up a tent and got things from the broken boat. As the months went by, Robinson learnt to make bread by himself. Then he found some groups of sheep. They were trained and eaten by Robinson. Twenty years later, there was a boat coming from England and Robinson was saved.
