我最好的朋友是我们班的李明。

她有一双水灵灵的大眼睛，像二颗水灵的葡萄，像是任何蛛丝马迹、风吹草动都逃不过她的双眼。她的鼻子小小的，但非常灵敏。她的嘴唇红红的，嘴巴小小的。她的耳朵虽然小小的，但是她上课听讲很仔细。她的头发乌黑乌黑的，扎着长长的马尾辫。她个子矮矮的、瘦瘦的。她喜欢唱歌、看书。

她是一个心灵手巧的人。有一次，美术老师教我们做扇子，她教了二种方法。同学们都顺利地做完了第一把扇子，可第二把他们都不会做，无论他们怎么折、怎么粘，扇子还是做不出来。这时，我看见我的同桌李明却不慌不忙地看了看美术书，想了想，她把一张折过的纸放进材料袋中，又换了一张纸，我看见她把纸按第一种方法折，我心想：她这不是在浪费材料吗?可我这才发现，她将纸的一格折成二格，按正反正反的顺序灵巧地折下去，折完之后她用线把纸绑起来，用胶水把纸的其中一个开头粘牢，再将胶水把筷子粘起来，最后将筷子粘在纸的另一个开口，这样扇子就做成了。我也马上做了一把，同学们见了，纷纷向李明请教，她却指了指美术书，让同学们看美术书。同学们也做出了第二把扇子。

我的朋友是一个心灵手巧的人，你们羡慕我有一个这样的朋友吗?

I think that reading is can let a person look forward to, it is like to take me into the story, because either the length of the text and illustrations, will let me have a deep experience, and text also seems to have wings, that kind of feeling is good.

I like reading very much, I think that reading should be rewritten to read, "yue" because, only love reading, to see the content in mind, you cant really get harvest, not see the calculate, so it is no use. I look at the great man, learn a great "spirit" and "attitude". Saw the little puppet, inspired my imagination. Read the Snow White, let me know what can not believe others; Read the ugly duckling, let me not from the face, looks after judging other people.

People like to read books, always immersed in the interesting story book, let me the heart opens a window, let my world a better place!

Dont like to read books, and is full of video games, like a beggar, need our help; But while some people like to read, and finally still addicted to video games, even if used to get more knowledge, also will forget the pleasure of reading.

我觉得，阅读是会让人期待的，它彷彿是带我进入了故事中，因为不管是文字的长短或插图，都会让我有深深的体会，而且文字也好像长出了翅膀，那种感觉真是美好。

我非常喜欢阅读，我觉得阅读应该 要改写成“悦”读，因为，只有喜爱阅读，把看到的内容记在脑子里，才能真正得到收获，不是看了就算了，这样是没有用的。我看了伟人传，学到了伟人的“精神”与“态度”;看了小木偶，启发了我的想像力;阅读了白雪公主，让我知道不可以乱相信别人;看过丑小鸭，让我不会从小的时候的面貌，来判断别人以后的长相。

喜欢读书的人，总是沉浸在故事书的趣味之中，让我的心灵打开了一扇窗，让我的世界变得更加美好!而我，常因为看书而忘了要做该做的事，我常常在写功课时看书，结果被妈妈骂得很惨;而不喜欢看书的人，感觉拿起一本厚厚的书，像是要写一百张数学考卷那么痛苦，痛苦烦闷到都想自杀了，那时候，我的心情就像被熊熊大火烧过的森林，那么的空虚。

不喜欢读书，而满脑子都是电玩的人，就像乞丐一样，需要我们帮忙;但有些人虽然喜欢阅读，最后还是迷上了电玩，就算以前得到了再多的知识，也还是会忘记阅读的乐趣的。

介绍元宵节风俗的英语作文

The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance.

This days important activity is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. One emperor heard that Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of Buddhas body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the Central Plains to the whole of China.

Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "Guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the Festival.

Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will get a little gift. The activity emerged during peoples enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.

People will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also called the "Yuanxiao Festival."Yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. It is small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean paste, jujube paste, walnut meat, dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling. Tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes sweet and delicious. What’s more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar

pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning reunion. So people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family.

In the daytime of the Festival, performances such as a dragon lantern dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance, walking on stilts and beating drums while dancing will be staged. On the night, except for magnificent lanterns, fireworks form a

beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks from the Spring Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival. Some local governments will even organize a fireworks party. On the night when the first full moon enters the New Year, people become really intoxicated by the imposing fireworks and bright moon in the sky.

元宵节英文介绍译文:

元宵节

每年农历的正月十五日，春节刚过，迎来的就是中国的传统节日--元宵节。

元宵主要的活动就是看灯。东汉明帝时期，明帝提倡佛教，听说佛教有正月十五日僧人观佛舍利，点灯敬佛的做法，就命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙里点灯敬佛，令士族庶民都挂灯。以后这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐形成民间盛大的节日。该节经历了由宫廷到民间，由中原到全国的发展过程。

直到今天，元宵点灯的习俗仍然在中国的各地流传的，各式各样美丽的花灯在这一天都会点亮，孩子们提着自制的灯笼走街串巷，非常高兴。

猜灯谜也是元宵节的一项重要活动，花灯的主人会将谜面写在灯笼上，挂在门口，如果有人可以猜中，就能得到小小的礼物。这项活动最早起源于宋朝，因为谜语能启迪智慧又饶有兴趣，所以流传过程中深受社会各阶层的欢迎。

民间过元宵节吃元宵的习俗。元宵由糯米制成，或实心，或带馅。馅有豆沙、白糖、山楂、各类果料等，食用时煮、煎、蒸、炸皆可。起初，人们把这种食物叫“浮圆子”，后来又叫“汤团”或“汤圆”，这些名称“团圆”字音相近，取团圆之意，象征全家人团团圆圆，和睦幸福，人们也以此怀念离别的亲人,寄托了对未来生活的美好愿望。

随着时间的推移，元宵节的活动越来越多，白天有耍龙灯、耍狮子、踩高跷、划旱船扭秧歌、打太平鼓等传统民俗表演。到了夜晚，除了五颜六色的美花灯之外，还有艳丽多姿的烟火。大多数家庭会在春节时留下一些烟花等到元宵节这天燃放，而一些地方政府也会举办烟花大会，当新年的第一个月圆之夜在盛大的烟火表演中来临时，人们都陶醉在这令人难忘了烟花与皎洁的明月中。
