小学生英语作文(合集20篇)

Last week, I visited the geological museum with my best friend, Liu Bing.

It was my first time to go there. The moment we arrived there, we found that the

building was grand. When we walked into it, there was a big hall in front of us.

And then there were several rooms to show different kinds objects. There was a

room for collecting scripts and paintings. There was another room to store

clothes and shoes in the old times. The next room was for collecting the daily

necessities in the old days. In a word, all the things in it had a long history.

I learnt some knowledge from it.

早在几天前，街道上就摆满了粽子，到处飘散着粽子的清香。今天终于可以吃到妈妈做的香喷喷的粽子了。因为端午节到来了。

As early as a few days ago, the streets were filled with zongzi, and the

fragrance of zongzi wafted everywhere. Today, I can finally eat the delicious

zongzi made by my mother. Because the Dragon Boat Festival is coming.

妈妈真是了不起，能做出好几种不同味道的粽子，有红枣粽子、豆子粽子、蛋黄粽子，还有我最喜欢吃的肉粽子。粽子刚一出锅，我和哥哥便你争我抢，生怕自己少吃了一个。

My mother is really amazing. She can make several kinds of zongzi with

different tastes, including red date zongzi, bean zongzi, egg yolk zongzi, and

my favorite meat zongzi. As soon as zongzi is out of the pot, my brother and I

will fight for it from you for fear that we will eat one less.

正当我们准备把粽子送入嘴里的时候，爸爸走了过来，微笑着说：”你们知道端午节为什么要吃粽子吗?“我们异口同声地回答：”为了纪念屈原!“”对!那你们知道为什么要纪念他呢?“我和哥哥你

看着我，我望着你，直摇头。”在春秋时期，爱国诗人屈原眼看自己的祖国被侵略，心如刀割，但又不忍舍弃自己的祖国，所以在五月初五抱石投汨罗江身死。以后，在每年的五月初五，就有了赛龙舟

、吃粽子的风俗，以此来纪念爱国诗人屈原。

Just as we were about to put zongzi into our mouths, Dad came over and

smiled and said, "do you know why we eat Zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival?" we all

replied in unison, "in memory of Qu Yuan!" "yes! Then why do you remember him?"

my brother and I looked at me and I looked at you and shook our heads. " In the

spring and Autumn period, Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet, saw his motherland being

invaded and his heart was cut like a knife, but he could not bear to give up his

motherland, so he threw stones into Miluo River on the fifth day of May and

died. Later, on the fifth day of May every year, there was the custom of dragon

boat racing and eating zongzi, in order to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu

Yuan. "

我和哥哥点了点头，原来端午节还有这样的意义。今天不仅吃到了香喷喷的粽子，还让我收获不少。

My brother and I nodded. It turns out that Dragon Boat Festival has such a

meaning. Today, I have not only delicious zongzi, but also a lot of harvest.

我的老师姓李，她个子不高，五官端正，眼睛上架着一副眼镜。他不但排球、羽毛球打得漂亮，上课也让人叫绝。李老师上课从来不对我们发火，平时态度和蔼，从不骂学生，对学习差的同学更是加倍鼓励，所以，李老师很受到同学们的欢迎。但是，有一次，李老师却给了我一次让我终身难忘的教育。

My teacher Xing Li, she is not tall, handsome, eyes on a pair of glasses. He not only volleyball, badminton playing well and the class is amazing. Lee teacher never we get angry, usually affable, never scold the student, for students to learn the difference is more encouraging, so, Miss Li is very welcome. However, once again, Miss Li gave me a let me a lifetime education.

那一天，我们班举行了一次模拟期中考试，考试时，我为了得满分，受到老师及父母的表扬，于是，我偷偷翻开了课本，抄了起来。李老师发现了，她没有骂我，而是悄声对我说：“放学后到办公室来。”放学了，李老师让我从考一遍。考完了，李老师语重心长的说：“我们要真实的成绩，不要虚假的分数，知错就改，以后再不要这样做了。”虽然当时我没听懂您的话，可一字一句都刻在我的脑海中了。我流泪了，我也分明看见您的眼里也含着晶莹的泪花。

That day, our class held a mock exam, exam, I in order to get full marks, praised by teachers and parents, so, I secretly opened a book, take up. The teacher found out, she did not scold me, but said to me in a whisper: "after school to come to the office." After school, teacher Li let me from the test again. Finished, the teacher Li said: "we want real achievement, not false points, Zhicuojiugai, not to do that again." Although I dont understand your words at the time, but every word engraved in my mind. I shed tears, I saw your eyes with tears.

那一次，您对我的教育，让我知道了考试作弊是可耻的!那次教育，我终身难忘。

I came to the classroom and pushed the door open.

"Wow! Its nice! " I call it up. There was a square with a strange Christmas tree in the middle with four high-definition screens, four Christmas gifts, and four buttons... Everything is four.

I sat down with my classmates. As soon as he sat down, it suddenly darkened. Again bright, my classmates and I see, in front of a table, the table with a variety of table delicacies from land and sea. I looked at it and saw a turkey. It was so big! I said nothing, picked up a kitchen knife toward turkey.

I had just forked the fork into the turkey, and the classroom was darkened. When the lamp is bright, I heard the "ringing" in children of this song, alongside a group of dwarfs in the carnival.

I was so happy that I was dancing with the dwarfs, and I was fascinated.

Suddenly, after a white light, I was sitting in front of the Christmas tree again. At this time, there is a know-all HD display. Know-all said: "everyone is in a different way to get a gift. In France, on Christmas day, people will take their shoes off the door, and they think Santa Claus will put them in their shoes... Well, its time to choose a gift. Theres a riddle on each of the boxes. Who guessed it to get the gift.

I revolved around the Christmas tree, and suddenly I looked at a box, guessed the riddle and hit it, "ah! Its a machine pet and a "hcxx" plane.

This Christmas is amazing!

Autumn came, the orchard faction of the scene.

You see, the fruit of the orchard mature, one persimmon smile red face, as if a small red lantern hanging in the branches. Pomegranate also playful to grin the mouth, and some laugh broken belly, revealing crystal clear seed child. The golden pear is covered with branches, like a golden gourd. The most notable is the apple. Ripe fruit bent over the branches, there are yellow banana apples, red glowing red Fuji apples - some of them head up like a mighty warrior; some hiding under the leaves, like a shy little girl; The two together, it is particularly affectionate.

Into the orchard, all kinds of fruit in the bright sun shining attractive luster. The joy of harvest, accompanied by busy fruit of the fruit, flowing in the orchard.

Autumn orchards bring happiness to people, I like the fall of the orchard.

There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

一年有四个季节，初天、夏天、秋天和冬天

In spring, the weather gradually gets warmer and everything comes back to lfie. The peasants are busy with sowing.

春天，气候慢慢的变暖和，万物苏醒。农民们都忙于播种。

When the summer comes, the weather becomes very hot. It rains frequently and causes many floods.

夏天来时，气候慢慢变热。经常下雨而且还会引起洪水。

Autumn is the best season all the year round. The weather is neither too hot nor too cold. The sky is blue and cloudness. At night, millions of stars can be seen in th sky. It’s also a busy season for peasants to harvest.

秋天是全年中最好的季节。气候既不是太热也不是太冷。天空是蓝的和不透明的。晚上，可以看到天空上数以万计的星星。这也是一个忙碌的季节，因为农民们要收割庄稼了。

Winter is the last season of the year. Days become shorter and nights longer. The weather is cold and windy. In winter, leaves fall from trees and everything seems to fall into a deep sleep to prepare for the next spring.

冬天是一年当中最后的一个季节。白天变短而晚上却变长了。冬天天气很冷还刮着风。树叶从树上落下来，万物似乎都要进入冬眠来为下一个春天做准备。

再次翻开姚xx老师的这本《小学英语情趣课堂教学》时，说心里话真的是很痛苦，像是下了很大的决心。过了两个月的无拘束、无压力的生活之后，发现静下心来做一件事很难，尤其是读书。因为是王老师给我们下了死任务，只好硬着头皮去读。事实证明：有压力才会有动力。这句话说的一点儿也不假。我重点研读了本书的第六章。本章节向我们展示了一些优秀的情趣英语课堂教学设计与课例，精心的教学设计，精彩的教学预设，无不体现了编写教师的独具匠心。设计中体现了人文主义，从教学目标到教学过程，都很巧妙地将传统的“要我学”转换成了“我要学”。

第一部分以北京师范大学新版小学英语教材四年级下册第十单元 Mc’s stre 6个课时的教学内容为例，展开基于情趣教学思想想的教学设计。阅读的过程中，可以看出编写教师非常细心，把课堂上的每个细节都处理的很到位，包括课堂的一些预设，生成。这一单元是一个阅读课，一提到英语阅读，我的脑海中就是bring, difficult。纵观这六课时的教学设计，教师借助插图、对话，并通过肢体语言、声音、多媒体资源、设置有效情境，挖掘文本固有的情趣，给予学生适时的语言支持和铺垫，帮助学生理解语言，理解故事。一步步地帮助学生把握技巧，培养他们的阅读能力。成功地把阅读变成悦读，使它真正地变成一种乐趣。在今后的阅读课上，我会尽力效仿，使它变得不枯燥。

第二部分是姚老师本人执教的展示课例。就像姚老师所说“情趣教学着眼于对学生学习兴趣的诱导”。在教学设计上，教师立足于激发学生的学习情趣，并通过多媒体资源，为学生呈现多个自然又生动的教学情境。另外，姚老师的板书设计给了我耳目一新的视觉体验，能够立足于文本内容的同时，重难点突出，也符合中年级学生的认知特点。

读罢此书，心中感慨万千，作为教师，很佩服姚老师的那份执着，以及对教学认真的工作态度。相比之下,我是差太多了。在教学设计上，我也要有所创新：

1.导入部分需要为所学内容做铺垫，不能华而不实。

2.适当地体现小组合作的魅力，锻炼学生的语言运用能力。根据学生的能力，在适当时机把主动权交给学生，充分关注学生的主体意识，激发学生主动参与的热情。

3.注重教学设计的整体性，连贯性。

[小学英语情趣课堂读后感作文

China has many traditional festivals among the year. But I like Mid-Autumn Festival the most. It means harvest, because it is celebrated in the harvest season. And it is the time for famers to express their thanks for harvest. In addtion, it’s the day for reunion. Some people call it Tuanyuanjie. The people work or study far away from home will come back to get-together with their families. They will eat a big meal and mooncake at that time. I hate parting but love reunion. So Mid-Autumn Day is my favorite festival.

一年之中中国有很多传统节日。我最喜欢的是中秋节。那意味着收获，因为它是在收获的季节里面庆祝的。那也是让农民们感激收获的时候。 此外，它也是团圆的日子。有人把它称为团圆节。在远方工作或学习的人都会回来与家人团聚。他们会在那个时候一起吃一顿丰盛的晚餐和月饼。我讨厌离别，喜欢团圆。所以我最喜欢的节日是中秋节。

Saturday, my grandma made dumplings, one of the dumplings like obedient little ducks swimming in the bowl. My in the mind have a little not to eat them. But the smell of fragrance and let me greedy slobber, I eat up tit-bit. But I eat dumplings, the heart have a kind of feeling can not tell. 译文：星期六我奶奶家包饺子了，一个个的饺子像听话的小鸭子在碗里游来游去。我心里有点不忍心吃他们了。可是那扑鼻而来的香味又让我馋得流口水，我就大口大口地吃了起来。可是我吃完饺子，心里有一种说不出来的感觉。

The shortage of housing is one of the most serious problems facing many big

cities in China. Though the government has spent a large sum of money on

housing,the investment has not been very resultful and a housing shortage still

exists. Two generations sharing one room and newlymarried couples finding it

difficult to have a house of their own are still common cases. Housing shortage

is a problem that requires an immediate solution.

Peoples attitudes towards the solution to the housing problem are

different. Some suggest building more tall apartment buildings; others believe

that we should develop underground housing areas. I am in favour of the former

opinion. For one thing, it is cheaper to build upward than downward. For

another, living underground for a long time will do harm to peoples health.

Above all,people are unwilling to live underground with artificial lighting and

they prefer to live normally on the ground to enjoy the sunshine.

Although there may be some other ways to solve the housing shortage

problem, I believe to build more apartment buildings is one of the feasible

solutions to the housing problem.

When I was in school, my teacher asked me what I want to be in the future,

I had no idea at the time, because I didn’t think about the question before, now

I have my dream, I have figured out what I want to be in the future, I want to

be a teacher. This is my future ideal career, being a teacher not only fulfills

myself, I also can implant my knowledge to my students. When I look at my

teachers, I adore them so much, they learn so much knowledge, they can help us

learn better, whenever we have questions, they can answer us immediately. I want

to be one of them when I grow up, so I must study hard now.

Today I got up early in order to wait for the legend of the total solar eclipse was visible. Why is the legends? Because not seen.

But from 7:30 a.m. start raining, I was depressed. Ok just online see the news experts say YinYuTian look more like shock, total solar eclipse was visible because originally clouds and thick, plus the dark sky will total solar eclipse was visible.

我今天起的很早，为了等待那传说中的日全食。为什么是传说中呢？因为没亲眼见过嘛。

不过从早上7：30就开始下雨，害我郁闷了半天。还好刚刚在网上看了新闻专家说阴雨天看日

全食会更震撼，好像是因为本来云层很厚，再加上日全食天空会更加的黑暗。

一.概念

记叙文也称叙述文，是一种以记叙/叙述的手法来表述人物、事件的文体。常见的属于记叙文文体的作品有：故事、游记、通讯、新闻报道、历史、 人物传记、日记和回忆录等。记叙文大致可以分为两大类：以记人为主的记叙文和以叙事为主的记叙文。前者主要是对人物的经历、活动或者性格特征进行叙述;后者则是对某一事件的发生、发展过程和结果进行叙述。前者重在描述人物的活动，而后者则重在表述事件的发生发展过程。

二.六大要素

记叙文的写作要注意交待清楚六大要素，即时间(time)、地点(place)、 人物( character)、事件的原因(cause)、经过(process)和结果( effect)。

由于记叙文中所涉及的要素比其他文体相对要多、要复杂，所以整篇文章的结构安排就显得尤其重要，安排不合理就会使读者产生混乱的感觉。

记叙文的展开一般都是以时间为主线来组织所要叙述的内容，使读者对文章中的人物或事件有一个比较清晰的了解。记叙文的结构安排通常有三种形式:正叙、倒叙和插叙。正叙是英语叙述文中最常用的一种结构，即以人物出现、活动或事件开始发生的时间点作为记叙的起点，然后按照人物活动的展开、事件发生发展的自然顺序进行叙述。倒叙则是在文章的开头就交待人物活动或事件发展的结果。插叙这一结构在我们的英文写作中很少用到。

三.时态

记叙文讲述的大多是过去已经发生的活动或事件，因此用过去时态(一般过去时、过去进行时、过去将来时、过去完成时)的作品比较多。但有时为了使文章显得更加真实、亲切和生动，也可以使用现在时态(一般现在时、 现在进行时、现在将来时、现在完成时)。

四.人称

记叙某个人物的经历、活动或某件事情的经过离不开叙述的主体，即 “人称”。记叙文中的人称大多采用第一人称或第三人称的形式。第一人称的叙述主观色彩较浓，可以增强文章的真实感，有利于表述细腻的情感和细节的过程;第三人称的叙述可以超越时空的限制，更加真实、客观地表述某一人物活动或事件的全过程。

无论采用第一人称，还是采用第二人称，都要保持全文叙述主体的人称的一致性。注意：句式尽量要多变，不要通篇文章的句子都以人称代词开头，否则文章会显得单调沉闷。例如: I loved the book first because of its beautiful heroine. Then I found it a romantic love story which greatly moved me. I now find that it is better taken as the growth story of a naive girl into a strong-willed woman. I realize that it is the essence of the book that attracts such big number of faithful readers.

这一段描述在用词、内容、逻辑上都不错，但过多地使用了以“I”开头的句子，使文章略显单调乏昧，给读者的印象大打折扣。

五.措辞与表达

在全国大学英语四级考试的各种作文体裁中，记叙文需要应试者具有更全面的语言技能与篇章组织能力。四级考试中常见的议论文和说明文分别要求语言的准确性和论证的合理性、可信性;而记叙文的语言则以生动、真实、 贴切为准则。同一个记叙文题目，不同的人会描述不同的人物经历或事件，又很少有固定的表达或句式可供参考，这时作者的综合语言水平就会表现出来，对能否取得高分起到了相当重要的作用。 这就要求考生平时要多注意语言的磨练和积累。

六.记叙文写作技巧

1. 仔细审题，明确主题，选准素材，罗列提纲。

2. 写好第一段

最好能采用一个复句并且用上几个四级水平的单词或词组。这样的文章开篇方式会使读者或阅卷人确信接下来的文章也一样精彩。

我们来看这样一段文章的开头:

The results of the college entrance examination came. I tore open the envelope. As soon as I saw the score，tears streamed down my face. I fell into my bed and did not get up the whole day. All was over. What is the meaning to live on earth? For the first time， I thought of death， of being a vagrant and of being single all my life. I was only seventeen. Wasn’t it cruel to me? My father was hurt and he could not stand it that his son was a disgrace. He was angry beyond words. My mother kept silent，and often I saw her in tears. Horror filled the house.

怎么样，你自己是否也被一种失落与绝望的气氛所笼罩，并且期待着看到作者接下来会做些什么呢?

3. 结构要清晰

下笔之前一定要对整篇文章的结构有一个完整的构想，作文的框架、主题和脉络是最重要的采分点。要清楚每一段要陈述哪些内容，这样不仅可以增强文章的逻辑性和可接受性，还可以使整篇作文的行文水到渠成，不会有凑字数的烦恼。

4. 尽量多使用表示转折、顺接、因果和时间的连接词

如first、second、moreover、for one thing…for another、on the one hand…on the other hand等。这样既可以显示语言功底，又增强了记叙内容的连贯性和生动性。

5. 文章不要写得太长

有的考生遇到触动自己内心情感的记叙文题目时就“一发不可收拾”，但由于时间有限，结果草草收尾，甚至没有结尾。四级作文毕竟是应试作文， 只要充分发挥出自己的英语语言水平，表述出所规定的内容就可以了。

6. 要多用四级词汇，要使句式多样化

没有语言错误并不是高分作文的保障(基本没有语言错误只是8分的基本要求) ;作文想达到11分以上，四级词汇和句型必须达到一定的比例。如，表示“重视”的词汇有stress，emphasize等，但选用短语attach importance to更能吸引阅卷人的注意;disagree和frown on sth. 都表示反对或不赞成，前者就平淡，后者表达意思很生动，更能引起阅卷老师的注意。

简单句和复合句合理搭配，长短句交替使用，会增强文章的节奏感，使描写更生动，给阅卷老师留下深刻印象。如：

(1) 名词化手段：用名词或名词词组替换一个句子或句子的主要部分，然后使这个名词或名词短语成为另外一个句子的组成部分，以达到合并句子的目的。如：

We were very much surprised. Mary refused the invitation.

We were very much surprised at/by Mary’s refusal of the invitation.

(2) 定语化手段：根据语义关系，可以把其中一句转换成形容词或形容词性成分、分词短语、定语从句等，如：

The winnerwas in no mood for speeches. The winner was hot and tired.

Thewinner，hot and tired，was in no mood for speeches.(转换成形容词短语) 7. 字迹清楚，卷面整洁。尽量不涂抹。 8. 最后的2—3分钟，进行修改检查。

检查的内容不是“大处着眼”，而是“小处着手”;不是考虑作文的框架结构，而是留心细枝末节。
