假日小队活动感想

全文共 482 字

+ 加入清单

每一个小区都有不一样的活动,但是这些都很有趣,是这一次次的活动给小区带来了幸福和快乐。

这次小区的活动是元宵节画灯笼,画画这可是我的强项,于是我也去报名了。我领到的是一个直桶型的黄色灯笼,我回到家就准备起笔画灯笼,可又突然愣住了,画什么好呢?在我脑海里闪过的第一个就是龙了,因此我快速查找了许多龙的样子。虽然这些龙样子精美,让人看着就很很舒心,但不幸的是由于样子太漂亮,所以整体的结构就很复杂。唉!真是悲剧啊!苦恼的我正一边想一边走,不知如何是好。这时,一个图案让我脱离困扰,真是天无绝人之路啊,竹叶——这个图案一定可以帮到我。可是画竹叶可不是那么容易的,我必须十分认真。我打气百分之一百的精神,认真仔细地画了起来,但就算这样不安分因素与不安全因素都在蠢蠢欲动。呀!糟糕了,有一片竹叶力度没有掌握好,画大了。这下我束手无策,我看着粗大的竹叶,慢慢地联想到了熊猫。对呀!熊猫,我立刻拿起笔画了一只胖胖的熊猫。就这样我的画完成了!第二天,我把灯笼交到居委,虽然不知是否能得奖,但我还是很高兴。

这次画灯笼活动让我感悟到,虽然我们不能用双手改变事实,但我们能用智慧创造奇迹!

全文共 1000 字

+ 加入清单

五一劳动节,一个永远好日子的节日,不论旅游、购物、结婚,都很不错。没错,我在这个日子就去了我们国家“4A”级景区——三西晋祠庙!

一大早,我们一家人就相继而起了,大约8点左右,我们乘出租车,来到了公交站。别说8点早,那里排队的人可谓是人山人海了。20分钟后,我终于被挤进了公交,还是站票!

半个来钟头,我们就来到了“晋祠公园”。嚯,一批又一批的人来了,乘公交的、做出租的、骑车的、步行的,都来了,数不胜数!

首先,我们是进园看花展,我拿着相机拍来拍去,忙得不亦乐乎。这些花一个比一个开得艳,一个比一个长的高,它们争奇斗艳,和职场斗争一样,非斗个你死我活不行。

2小时后,已经到中午了,我们便去了公园卖东西的地方,那里的小玩意儿、食物什么的就不需要我一个一个说了吧?

吃过饭,我们在公园长椅上坐了会儿,便继续我们的行程了。

终于啊,到了今天的重要环节了:晋祠庙。

我来讲讲关于它的故事吧:晋祠庙创建于元惠宗至正年间,曾先后三次补修。现存建筑有正殿、献亭、戏台及钟鼓楼、配殿等。正殿称“昭济圣母殿”,单檐悬山顶,建筑面积为132平方米。献殿为元代所建,平面正方形,单檐歇山顶。整体建筑物由四角柱加八辅柱支撑,柱子顶端设五铺作双下昂斗?怼O诽ǎ?ㄓ谇逍?诘拦馐??辏??婊??0平方米。戏台正面两侧各有一根石柱,刻有楹联一副,上联是:“褒善荣华衮表千秋忠孝节义”,下联是:“贬恶严斧铖惩百代奸邪盗淫”。祠内保存石碑数通,最早为明万历十七年所镌。

我们在圆里看到个大水塘,上面有座曲曲折折的桥,走到对岸,再向对岸望去,会看到你个拱桥。离开“曲折桥”,来到了有一个建筑物,有俩个神在左右护着,看起来很威风的样子。

离开这儿,就来到了浮屠塔,这座塔有7层,呈六边形,塔檐尖上有风铃,每层有6扇窗。大约21米,旁边有两柱好想枯掉的树。

来到浮屠院的后院,有一些盛开的花,一个小长廊,长廊上面攀爬着些紫藤萝,想象烈日炎炎坐在长廊里,扇着扇子,看着自己的孩子们满地跑,是不是很欣慰?我想,古人是否也是这样的?

浮屠院旁院里,这儿才是真正的重点,里面的花成千上万,每一个都像仙子搬,带着风轻抚我的头发,随风而来的花香滋润着我的灵魂,把我的灵魂带走,带到那个年代,在整个院子里穿来穿去。

不一会儿,就5点了,我们都饿了,只好不舍的离开了这儿。

我真希望我是元惠宗,能在那儿,随心所欲,听风的声音,喝树的清香,看云的飘动……

Inrecent years, tourism has been popular and played an important role in ournation’s economic growth. However, I am afraid that if tourism develops over,it will bring harm to the environment and give rise to many problems.

近年来,旅游业已经变得很流行,在我国经济发展中发挥了重要作用。然而,我害怕如果旅游业过度发展,它会给环境带来危害,并引发很多问题。

Thereare a few reasons accounting for my views and I would like to list three ofthem. One of the examples is that a large number of woods and other plants werereplaced by all kinds of accommodation facilities or scenic spots. Thatdefinitely breaks the ecological balance of these areas and destroys thenatural beauty of the scenic spots. Worse still, more pressure has been placedenvironment protection in that many tourists left their garbage in the scenicspots. In addition, over-developed tourism will occupy large numbers offarmland and lead to the shortage of the land.

我想列出其中三个可以解释我观点的几个理由。其中一个例子是大量的森林以及一些其他的植物被各种住宿设施或风景名胜区替代了。那肯定会打破这些地区的生态平衡,破坏风景名胜区的自然美。更糟的是,环境保护已经面临更大的压力了,因为许多游客在离开景点的时候把他们的垃圾丢在景点里。此外,过度开发旅游业会占用大量的耕地,导致土地短缺。

Ina word, tourism will be harmful to our environment if it is over development.Thus, I do not advocate that we development tourism without considering theenvironment. And we should keep the balance between tourism development andenvironment protection so that we can achieve the sustainable developmentbetween our nation’s economy and the environment.

总之,如果过度开发旅游业会对我们的环境有害。因此,我不同意在没考虑环境问题下就开发旅游业。我们应该保持旅游开发与环境保护之间的平衡,使我们能够在我们国家的经济和环境之间实现可持续发展。

快乐的五一假日作文300字篇一:

今天下午大约五点时,我在看电视,突然叔公打电话给爸爸邀请我们到他家吃晚饭。我和爸爸答应了,我们五点半就出门。我上车可是爸爸的车,爸爸打着了发动机,但过了好一会还不开车,我就问:“爸爸为什么不开车”爸爸说:“因为要热车”我明白了。过了一会儿开车了,一路上我看见了许多高楼大厦亮着广告灯,真漂亮。我们的车开得比往常要快,爸爸告诉我,因为今天是五一节,很多人都出游了,所以马路的车特别少,所以我们很快就到了叔公家。

一进门我就看见许多叔叔伯伯阿姨姐姐都到了。我和爸爸赶紧坐下就开始吃饭了。我吃了许多菜,叔叔伯伯们在喝酒,他们在庆祝五一节。我很快就吃完了。大人们很多还在吃,我没事就看电视,20 分钟后我不想看了。爸爸也吃完了,我就听爸爸和叔叔伯伯们聊天。过了好一会儿,因为明天我要上课和还要回写今天的日记,所以爸爸就提出来要走。我们我所有的人一一告别后就离开了叔公家。今天我和这么多大人一起庆祝了五一劳动节,真开心!

快乐的五一假日作文300字篇二:

盼望着,盼望着,“五一”假期来了。

我们全家来到沃尔玛购物玩,没想到却被卷入了“五一”狂挤风暴。

我们随着人流挤进了“kfc”(肯德基)。朝里面一看,哇,挤死了!一个挨着一个,你不让我,我不让你,人群成了一团团的。唉,谁叫大家都挑着五月一日这个日子来购物呢!

在“kfc”挤挤就算了,在沃尔玛电梯上居然也是人山人海!长的不高的人就吃亏了,被高的在前面一挡,你连自己到了没都看不见。这样可太危险了,等会到了还没把脚踏出去就惨了……

“狂挤”并没一下来,梯出口那涌出一片人,全挤在电梯口动弹不得。从电梯上一下来,就得随着人流慢慢地挪动,气都透不上来。

早饭没吃,肯德基没吃上,大家都有点饿了,我的妈妈说:去麦当楼吃早餐我很开心,可是, 到了那一看,不用说,座无虚席,人满为患,送菜的服务生时不时得说“请让一让、请让一让”。我的心里冒出一个疑问:我们到底是出来玩的,还是来比赛呢的?

好不容易从kfc里挤了出来,往大街上一瞅,比里面好不到哪去。我们左挤右挤,挤到了太子路街的好不容易从微笑堂里挤了出来,往大街上一瞅,比里面好不到哪去。我们左挤右挤,挤到了正阳步行街的“kfc”那儿。看来我没猜错,立马可以用一个字形容_挤,除了这个字再不能想到另外一个字来准确形容,我真切感受到了“13亿有多么庞大。既然大家都那么爱挤,那我就陪你们挤,看谁挤得过谁!好不容易挤进店里,我用火眼金睛“盯”到了一个空位,我们以迅雷不及掩耳之势挤过去坐下,哇,终于舒服地吃了一顿。

快乐的五一假日作文300字篇三:

盼星星,盼月亮,终于盼到了五一长假。今天,阳光明媚,万里无云。我们正在去“富华游乐园”的路上。路程并不遥远,我们在路上谈天说地。终于到达目的地。这里车水马龙,从路边上看有一个“海盗船”从上面传来了一声声惊讶的喊叫。

我们步行到了园内。又一次到了这个属于儿童的乐园——“富华游乐园”。我对这个游乐园又有了一个全新的认识。我看了看地上“白色污染”太多了,又看了水面,污染太多了。我东张西望地看着。我看到了过山车,太幼稚了;海盗船,太无聊了。我看到了“激流勇进”,第一次听到这么怪的名字,也没玩过,好奇心驱动着我去玩一玩。

我们坐上皮筏子,下面是装满水的水槽。刺激的“战争”开始了。我坐在皮筏子上,看到远处有一座陡峭的山坡。一开始皮筏子,缓慢地“走”着,旁边的小花向我问好,小柳树向我招手。不久我心里忐忑不安起来,“万一,皮筏子出了轨怎么办?再滑下来呢?”我小声地嘀咕着。皮筏子爬上了山坡,我的命啊!我的命由天定吧!我紧紧地闭上眼睛,“世宇,你要做一个男子汉呀!”我在爸爸的鼓励下,稍微地睁开了眼睛。“哇!人怎么这么小呀!像童话中的小人国里的人。”下坡了,我赶紧抓起筏子前的大布,盖在头上,水就不会弄到身上了。身边的景物瞬息万变!刺激的“战争”结束了。

在这一天,我不仅玩得很开心,也懂得了一个道理:要做个男子汉,就要有勇气!

Mr. Louis is my Chinese teacher. She was of medium height, slender, with two eyebrows on her lanky face, a pair of squinting eyes, and a pair of pink glasses on her high nose, about thirty years old. Her speech was vivid and vivid in class, her tone was cadenced and her emotions were real. People are kind and strict.

I remember that it was one of the things that happened early on, and I came to the school early in the morning and put my exercise books on the table, and I happily picked up the Chinese book and read aloud the text aloud.

After about a quarter of an hour or so, Mr. Louis walked into the classroom with a smile on his face, went up to the lectern, took out the red pen and handed the students the homework. After more than ten books, I found that the teachers face gradually changed from sunny to cloudy, and some of my classmates workbooks were taken to the stage. When it was my turn, my heart was both happy and afraid. I was glad that the teacher could see the homework I had finished. The fear is that the teacher will also take away my exercise book. Not sure enough, I saw the workbook lying on the table, trying to get it down, but it was impossible.

After class, the teacher overlooks his face and says to us, "if you want to have a workbook, please come to my office." Then he picked up the book and went away. I breathed a sigh of relief, but I was still not happy. I didnt know what was waiting for me: reprimand, criticism, praise... Oh, I dont think so.

After the second lesson, I and the students went to the teachers office and prepared to be taught. Who knows, the teacher changed the normal, kindly say: "last night go back why dont finish earnestly, ask you a few to correct the error in the workbook." Several of us took the exercise books nervously and fell on the teachers desk to correct them all. Then, let the teacher see again. Then the teacher smiled and said, "thats right. The people who read more should pay attention, the homework also cannot be careless!" We listened, and the mood was like a stone falling to the ground and running out of the office.

You say, how can such a teacher not let us like?

篇18:温斯顿·丘吉尔:生活侧记-名人传记英文故事

全文共 4543 字

+ 加入清单

My father, Winston Churchill, began his love affair with painting in his 40s, amid disastrous circumstances. As First Lord of the Admiralty in 1915, he was deeply involved in a campaign in the Dardanelles that could have shortened the course of a bloody world war. But when the mission failed, with great loss of life, Churchill paid the price, both publicly and privately. He was removed from the admiralty and effectively sidelined.

Overwhelmed by the catastrophe — “I thought he would die of grief,” said his wife, Clementine —he retired with his family to Hoe Farm, a country retreat in Surrey. There, as Churchill later recalled, “The muse of painting came to my rescue!”

Wandering in the garden one day, he chanced upon his sister-in-law sketching with watercolors. He watched her for a few minutes, then borrowed her brush and tried his hand. The muse had cast her spell!

Churchill soon decided to experiment with oils. Delighted with this distraction from his dark broodings, Clementine rushed off to buy whatever paints she could find.

For Churchill, however, the next step seemed difficult as he contemplated with unaccustomed nervousness the blameless whiteness of a new canvas. He started with the sky and later described how “very gingerly I mixed a little blue paint on the palette, and then with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as a bean upon the affronted snow-white shield. At that moment the sound of a motor car was heard in the drive. From this chariot stepped the gifted wife of Sir John Lavery .”

“ ‘Painting!’ she declared. ‘But what are you hesitating about? Let me have the brush — the big one.’ Splash into the turpentine, wallop into the blue and the white, frantic flourish on the palette, and then several fierce strokes and slashes of blue on the absolutely cowering canvas.”

At that time, John Lavery— a Churchill neighbor and celebrated painter— was tutoring Churchill in his art. Later, Lavery said of his unusual pupil: “Had he chosen painting instead of statesmanship, I believe he would have been a great master with the brush.”

In painting, Churchill had discovered a companion with whom he was to walk for the greater part of the years that remained to him. After the war, painting would offer deep solace when, in 1921, the death of the mother was followed two months later by the loss of his and Clementine’s beloved three-year-old daughter, Marigold. Battered by grief, Winston took refuge at the home of friends in Scotland, finding comfort in his painting. He wrote to Clementine: “I went out and painted a beautiful river in the afternoon light with crimson and golden hills in the background. Alas I keep feeling the hurt of the Duckadilly (Marigold’s pet name).”

Historians have called the decade after 1929, when the Conservative government fell and Winston was out of office, his wilderness years. Politically he may have been wandering in barren places, a lonely fighter trying to awaken Britain to the menace of Hitler, but artistically that wilderness bore abundant fruit. During these years he often painted in the South of France. Of the 500-odd canvases extant, roughly 250 date from 1930 to 1939.

Painting remained a joy to Churchill to the end of his life. “Happy are the painters,” he had written in his book Painting as a Pastime, “ for they shall not be lonely. Light and color, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day.” And so it was for my father.

我的父亲,温斯顿·丘吉尔,在他四十多岁时开始迷恋上绘画,当时环境异常恶劣。那是在1915年,任海军大臣的他,积极投身于在达达尼尔海峡的一场战役中,这场战役本可以缩短那段血雨腥风的世界大战。但由于遭受失败,伤亡惨重,丘吉尔于公于私都付出了代价。他被从海军部调离且实则坐起了冷板凳。

在灾难的折磨下——他的妻子克莱门廷说:“我想他会痛苦而死,”——他携家带口来到萨利郡的一处乡间静居霍·华姆。在那儿,丘吉尔后来回忆道,“是绘画中的冥思拯救了我!”

一天他在花园散步时,偶然看到他的弟媳在用水彩作画。他观察了几分钟,然后向她借了画笔并一试身手。他的专注仿佛给他施了魔法!

丘吉尔很快就决定试试去画油画。看到他从阴暗的忧郁思中解脱出来,克莱门廷非常开心,她赶忙去买所有能买到的颜料。

然而,迈出下一步似乎有些困难,因为丘吉尔看到一块新画布的洁白无暇时感到无所适从和为难。他先从天空画起,后来他描述如何“非常谨慎地在调色板上加入一点儿蓝色调,然后以万分的小心,在这块被蓄意冒犯的雪白的防护板上点上豌豆大的一笔。这时,传来一阵驾驶机动车的马达声。约翰·拉威利先生才华出众的太太从这辆车中姗然而下。

“‘在画画呀!’她高声说着。‘可你还在犹豫什么呢?给我那支笔——那支头号的。’只见松油飞溅,她在蓝白颜料间挥毫泼墨,在调色板上龙飞凤舞,接着在吓得发皱的油画布上用力东戳西捣几下蓝色。”

那时,约翰·拉威利——丘吉尔的邻居,也是一位有名的画家—正教丘吉尔学画。后来提及他的这位特殊的学生,拉威利说:“倘若他选择绘画而不是从政,我相信他会是位绘画大师的。”

在绘画中,丘吉尔找到了能陪他度过余生大部分时光的知已。战后,在1921年,母亲刚去世两个月,他和克莱门廷就失去了他们深爱着的三岁女儿玛丽戈尔德,这时作画给了他一些安慰。在痛苦的打击下,温斯顿来到苏格兰朋友们的家中以求得安慰,用绘画来解脱自己。他在给克莱门廷的信中说:“我出外画了一条夕阳下美丽的溪流,背后映衬着晚霞的群山。唉,达克迪莉(玛丽戈尔德的昵称)使我的苦痛总是挥之不去。

史学家把1929年后的十年,也就是保守党政府垮台而温斯顿下台的时间,称为他的荒凉岁月。政治上,他一直在举步维艰的处境中徘徊,是一个孤独的勇士在努力唤起受到希特勒威胁的国人,但在艺术上他在那荒凉岁月却硕果累累。这些年他经常在法国南部作画。在现存的500多张油画中,大约250张是1930至1939年间的作品。

绘画给丘吉尔带来了乐趣直到他的人生尽头。在他所著的《画中的消遣》里说:“画家其乐融融,因为他们不会孤独。光与色,和平与希望,会始终伴随他们。”我父亲就是这样一个人。
