It was then that I was attracted by a church building, whose metope was a beautiful picture of more than 20,000 pieces of Mosaic, which is the memorial church of Stanford university.

gift from "Santa Claus". The whole class doesnt believe in Santa Claus. I do.

to believe in the existence of Santa Claus, and believe in it. I show the gift

your desk and encouraged me by saying, "Tingting, although you didnt do well in

亲爱的王老师

人们都说:老师是迷蒙中的一盏灯,照亮我们人生的道路;老师是一把钥匙,开启我们知识的大门;老师是黑夜中最耀眼的星星,让我们走上正确的道路……而您,就是让我走进数学殿堂里的一位指路人。

还记得,二年级时的我,脑子里常想着一些天马行空的事情。在一次圣诞节,我意外的收到了“圣诞老人”给我送来的礼物。全班同学都不相真的有圣诞老人,唯独有我,我相信。第二天,我便早早的来到学校,还带着我的礼物。那时的我,实在是太天真了,竟然相信圣诞老人真的存在,并且深信不疑。我把礼物拿给您看,还得意扬扬的说:“老师,我昨天晚上收到圣诞老人的礼物了!”您当时怔了一下,但马上用一种慈祥的口气说:“这圣诞老人还真的存在呢!”后来,我才知道,您为了不让我失望,就帮我延续了这个美好的幻想。

老师您还记得吗?在一次考试中,我发挥失常,只考了84

分,当拿到这张试卷时,我伤心的哭了。这时,您把我叫到讲桌前,鼓励我说:“婷婷,这次考试你虽然没有考好,可是也不代表下一次考试也考不好啊?!老师相信你这些题你都会做,只是有些粗心,你要赶紧跟马糊说拜拜哦……”听着老师有趣的话语,我立刻转悲为喜,破涕为笑。老师,这些话您也许都已经忘了,但我可忘不了,我忘不了您对我的好,您对我的关心,您对我的每一次鼓励。它们已经藏在我的记忆深处,永不忘记。

老师,当年您的一举一动,一言一语,我都记着呢。老师,马上我就要小学毕业了,可当年您的身影我却怎么也忘不了。啊!亲爱的老师,我的第一位启蒙老师,我该怎样回报您呢?

祝您

身体健康,笑口常开

一年有许多的节日,有中国传统节日春节,有属于我们的节日----儿童节,还有五一,十一等法定节假日.不过我最喜欢的不是这些节日,而是圣诞节.

圣诞节是世界上所有基督国家的节日,是为了纪念耶署基督诞生的节日.虽说它并不被中国人所看重,可我们仍然能看到圣诞节给生活带来的变化.首先,一些商家开始用圣诞节作推销,店铺门前摆满了和圣诞有关的商品:驯鹿呀!圣诞老人玩具呀!都成了特卖商品,也深受广大消费者的喜爱.其次,学校里也开展了许多圣诞活动,什么猜礼物,圣诞晚会,给人一种浓郁的节日气氛.圣诞节就这样慢慢地来临了.

我爱圣诞节不是只爱它的氛围,更是想得到自己的圣诞礼物.每年的平安夜,我都会静静地坐在,眼睛凝望着一颗颗在黑夜中闪烁的明星,心里带着期盼,希望自己第二天能够让自己的每梦成真.记得去年圣诞节,我许下想获得一只钢笔的愿望,结果第二天早上,一只崭新的钢笔就出现在我的床头,我喜出望外,赶紧将这个天大的消息告诉了妈妈,问她是怎么回事.可看着妈妈疑惑的眼神,一个神秘的念头闪过我的脑海中难道圣诞老人真的存在吗?

是的,在我看来,圣诞节就是这样一个氛围浓厚,充满神秘的节日.而且它也激励着我珍惜时间,一年只有一次圣诞节.每过一次,也就相当与我们又长大了一岁,一年里.你有什么收获.有什么经验.有什么不足和进步?我们更能将圣诞节当作一次学习的总结会,把圣诞礼物当作对好的一年的鼓励,把祝福当作对明年的鞭策,这不更好吗?

圣诞伴我成长,我爱圣诞节!

全文共 2545 字

What Is American Dream?

什么是美国梦?

What is the American Dream? Is it the same for all Americans? Is it a myth? Is it simply a search for a better life? How has the American Dream changed over time? Some see their dreams wither and die while others see their dreams fulfilled. Why? Everyone has dreams abut a personally fulfilled life... and what is your dream?

什么是美国梦?所有的美国人都是一样的吗?它是虚构的事吗?它是为了追求更好的生活吗?美国梦随着时间是如何改变的?有些人的梦想破灭了而有些人却实现了梦想。是什么原因呢?每个人都有自己想要实现的梦想,你的梦想是什么呢?

The term American Dream was first used by James Adams in his book The Epic of America which was written in 1931. He states: The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown tired and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to get to the fullest stature of which they are capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position."

美国梦这个词最早出现在詹姆斯·亚当斯1931年写的《美国史诗》这本书中。他写道:美国梦是指渴望生活在能够让人们生活丰裕富足的热土上,每个人都有机会实现自己的价值。它是一个欧洲上流社会很难理解和体会的梦想,并且我们中的相当多人对此持怀疑和不信任的态度。这个梦想不仅仅是拥有汽车和高工资,而且还应当包括这样一种社会秩序,在这种秩序下,男人和女人不论他们出身如何,社会地位如何,都能最大程度地实现自己的潜能并为他人所认可和接受”。

In the united States Declaration of Independence, our founding fathers state: "... all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." Might this view be considered the foundation of the American Dream?

在美国的《独立宣言》中,我们的创始人指出:“……所有的人人生而平等,创物主赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利,这其中包括生命权,自由权和追求幸福的权利。”这一说法也许可能被视为美国梦的基础?

Were homesteaders who left the big cities of the east to find happiness and their piece of land in the unknown wilderness of the west pursuing these Rights? Were the immigrants who came to the United States looking for their bit of life, liberty, happiness and their Dream? And what did the desire of the veteran of World War II—to settle down, to have a home, a car and a family—tell us about this Dream? Is the American Dream attainable by all Americans? Would Martin Luther King feel his Dream was attained? Did Malcolm X realize his Dream?

农场主为了寻找幸福离开了东部的大城市,抛弃了他们在西部未知荒野上的土地,他们是在实现自己权利吗?移民来到美国,是为了自己想要的生活,追求自由、幸福和梦想吗?二战老兵的愿望又是什么呢,安定下来,有居住的房子,汽车然后组建家庭——告诉我们这就是梦想?所有美国人都能实现美国梦吗?马丁·路德金会认为自己能够梦想成真吗?马尔科姆·X实现自己的梦想了吗?

篇16:圣诞节英语作文:The Christmas Tree

全文共 3450 字

+ 加入清单

Although it is generally agreed that the Christmas tree in its current form came from Germany in the early 19th century, the tradition of decorating a tree to mark winter celebrations dates back hundreds of years to Roman times, when they used to decorate evergreen trees with small pieces of metal to celebrate Saturnalia.

In medieval times the Paradise Play was performed every year on 24 December. This depicted the creation of Man and the fall of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and always included an evergreen hung with apples which represented the apple tree of temptation.

There is a legend that St Boniface, an English monk, came upon a group of pagans gathered around an oak tree who were preparing to sacrifice a child to the God Thor. In order to stop the sacrifice, and save the childs life, St Boniface is said to have felled the tree with one blow of his fist. Later on, a fir tree grew in place of the oak and this, St Boniface told the pagans, was the Tree of Life and represented the Christ Child.

Legend also suggests that, in the late 16th century, Martin Luther (the founder of the Protestant religion) was the first to decorate an indoor tree with candles when he attempted to recreate the stars shining over a forest of evergreens.

The first mention of decorated trees being taken indoors came in 1605 in Germany - a country with a long Christmas tree history! The trees were initially decorated with fruit and sweets together with hand made objects such as quilled snowflakes and stars. German Christmas Markets began to sell shaped gingerbreads and wax ornaments which people bought as souvenirs of the fair and took home to hang on their tree.

Tinsel was also invented in Germany in about 1610. Up until fairly recently real silver was used, which was pulled into wafer thin strips by special machines. This was durable but tarnished quickly and many experiments took place to try and find an alternative - including a mix of lead and tin, which was too heavy and kept breaking. It was only in the mid 20th century that a viable alternative was found.

Artificial trees were invented in the 1880s in a bid to try and stop some of the damage being caused to real trees due to people lopping the tip off large trees, thus preventing the trees from growing any further. It got so bad in Germany that laws had to be brought in to prevent people having more than one tree.

Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, is credited with being responsible for introducing the custom of the Christmas tree to the British public by decorating the first English Christmas tree at Windsor Castle in 1841 using candles, sweets, fruit and gingerbread.

The popularity of the Christmas tree grew in Britain during the first half of the 20th century, with trees becoming bigger and more elaborately decorated with bells, baubles and tinsel. However, the onset of the Second World War resulted in a ban on cutting down trees for decoration and people resorted to having small, artificial tabletop trees bearing home made decorations. These were often taken down into the air raid shelters when the sirens sounded to provide a bit of Christmas cheer!

This all changed following the war, and large trees were erected in many public places to celebrate Christmas. The most famous of these is the tree in Trafalgar Square, London which is an annual gift from the Norwegian government to give thanks for the help they received from Britain during the war.
