+ 加入清单今天,老师要我们晚上去找他,找到后,星期一就可以在吴老师那里获得一份精美的圣诞节小礼物。
下课了,同学们纷纷相约说要一起去找,因为圣诞礼物的诱惑实在是太大了,同学们都想要得到圣诞礼物,我也不例外,赶紧约人要一起找。
晚上终于到来,但今天的晚上降温了,外面特别冷,寒风吹在脸上感觉到生生的疼,但并不能阻止我们对圣诞礼物的诱惑。我和纪萱宸她们准时来到了学校北门,我们先讨论了吴老师会去哪里?华润?苏果?北门?大统华?还是……?对!就是大统华!在一番争论后,大家终于统一了意见。
行动开始了。我们几个女生踏上了去大统华找吴老师的路途,途中,遇见了叶炳、曹瀚文等一行人,便和他们一起寻找吴老师。大统华,人灯光闪烁,流如潮,我们绕着广场转来转去,转了几圈,也没有见到吴老师的人影。这时我们看见了一位老大爷,便问道:“爷爷,您有没有见到一个1米7左右的身高,戴着一副眼镜,文质彬彬,穿着黑色衣服的一个男人啊?”“没有“。答案令我们很失望,但我们没有气馁,继续寻找,继续问路人,功夫不负有心人,寻找了很久,问了很多人后,终于有人说见到过了,那一时刻,我们兴奋地跳了起来。
我们真心感谢过给我们指路的那个人,照着他所指的方向,追踪吴老师。一路上,我们还一直打听,找的紧紧的,生怕吴老师躲起来,……时间一分一秒地过去了,纪萱宸灰心了,说:“我们一定找不着吴老师的,金坛这么大呢!”“不”!“只要我们努力了,就可以了,找到找不到那已经不重要了!”“重要参与嘛!参与就可以了!”我们大家你一句我一句,都给她打气,同时也是在给我们自己打气,大家都打起了精神。
我们继续寻找吴老师,现在我们每个人的心里都了充满了信心,认真寻找着。突然,我眼前一亮,指着前面的人大叫:“吴老师!是吴老师!”袁池立马准备开始捉拿吴老师,这时候,我们大家背后传来了一阵熟悉无比的的声音:“恭喜你们五个人,找到了我!星期一,你们一人有一份小礼品哦!”我们高兴地跳呀!叫呀!一下子全都涌上去抱住吴老师,生怕一眨眼吴老师不见了。因为我们刚才叫的根本不是吴老师,在我们背后的才是真正的吴老师。
圣诞夜,我们过的开心又有意义,因为吴老师的圣诞之约,让我们认识到凡事重在参于,只要我们努力去做,就一定能做到和做好,从而映证了一句老话:“事上无难事,只怕有心人“。
篇4:祝老师节日快乐的英语
全文共 1652 字
+ 加入清单It is Teachers Day today. On this special occasion I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all teachers, "Happy Teachers Day!"
Of all teachers who have taught me since my early childhood, the most unforgettable one is my first English teacher in college, Ms. Zhang. It is she who has aroused my keen interest in the learning of English and helped me realize the importance of self-reliance. Born into a poor farmers family in a mountainous area and educated in relatively primitive surroundings, I found myself lagging far behind in the first class in college, which happened to be Ms. Zhangs English class. I was really discouraged and frustrated, so I decided to drop out. Ms. Zhang was so keenly insightful that she had noticed my embarrassment in class. After class, she called me into the Teachers Room and discussed the situation with me, earnestly and kindly, citing the example of Robinson Crusoe to motivate me to go ahead in spite of all kinds of difficulties. "Be a man and rely on yourself," she nudged me. The next time we met, she brought me a simplified version of Robinson Crusoe and recommended that I finish reading it in a week and write a book report. Under her consistent and patient guidance, not only has my English been greatly improved, but my confidence and courage enhanced considerably.
"Rely on yourself and be a man," Ms. Zhangs inspiring words have been echoing in my mind. I will work harder and try my utmost to lay a solid foundation for my future career. Only by so doing can I repay Ms. Zhangs kindness and live up to her expectations of me, that is, to become a useful person and contribute to society.

+ 加入清单I was born in Guangdong, the southernmost province in mainland China where in winter the temperature seldom falls be low 5C.
For the past 19 years, I had never seen snow.I couldnt remember from when I had been dreaming of seeing a real snow, and experiencing a bleak winter.Before I entered the university, I had never expected the climate difference of Shanghai and Guangzhou.
But as October came, the falling golden leaves and the chilly winds indicated that this winter would be cold.October walked away in the whisper of the falling leaves.Winter approached in November, and then December.
The dazzling golden color already faded away, leaving only the bare branches sticking out into the frosty air. Grass that was once as thick as a fine cardigan carpet could no longer be found anywhere. What I saw were the slushy fields which were jade green in September.
I considered it a great fortune to watch the sun, which was mild, jumping off the horizon and into those bare branches.Even on sunny days, the temperature was still low. The campus was left deserted and lifeless.
Was this what I had been longing for? Could it be called a bleak winter? I thought I should feel satisfied. Shanghai is still in the south. I couldnt expect more. But there was still some thing in my mind, as it was only one step to my dream. I prayed every day for a snow. A slight one could be enough. Once again.God heard.
Ill never forget the morning of Christmas. On my way to the library, a white elf found its way into my coat.It took me more than a minute to realize what was happening. Believe it or not, it snowed. Suddenly I understood why God took all the signs of life away in winter.He must have been clearing up a stage for his spoiled kid
snow, to show off.stage for his spoiled kid
snow, to show off.
Tears welled up in my eyes, for my thankfulness to God and to the special, bleak winter.

篇14:在学英语中获得快乐
全文共 498 字
+ 加入清单英语,在普遍流通于世界,这也突显的英语的重要性。我也在英语的学习中体验到了乐趣!
从一年级到三年级,每学期期末考试,我的英语成绩基本都是满分,考试满分并不代表我喜欢学英语,是妈妈在”逼”我学习英语,每天早上叫我起来读英语课文,听磁带,背单词,学习很是被动。
我的英语老师是一位男老师,讲课非常幽默,课堂上互动性很强,比如,我们初学者很讨厌背单词,老师为了使我们主动去记单词,常在课堂上“玩词语接龙”这种游戏。为了能在游戏中取得好成绩,我除了每天早上起来主动背单词,在平时很注意单词的积累,时间长了,我的单词量慢慢多了起来。有时在讲一个小语法知识点时,他会设计一个小的情节,把大家变成剧中的人物,这下把同学们的积极性调动起来了,大家在笑声中不知不觉中掌握了语法知识,有时我为了能在剧中多发言,我还会在课外主动去找相关的语法书看。
慢慢地我真的喜欢上了英语,每天早上我会主动打开复读机听英语,背单词,课后我会主动学习一些课外相关知识,其实学习英语秘密在于将被动学习变成主动学,我想你会找到适合自己的学习方法,你会爱上它。
英语给我带来了快乐,哪怕就是这么短短几句交流,我的英语带给我的成就感,都会给我带来快乐

+ 加入清单今年暑假,妈妈给我报了英语自然拼读班。英语拼读班座落在少年宫西边的一座高楼上。
当我第一天来到学校时,哇噻!好有氛围啊!学校教室虽只有11个,但布置得井井有条,到处是明窗净几,每个指示牌上都有英文标注,一开始就让人置身于一个英文世界中。
上课了,给我们上课的老师是一个大姐姐,年龄二十岁出头。“这么年轻的老师,能教好我们吗?”我心想。她长着一张标准的瓜子脸,白白净净的,长长的睫毛下一双明亮的大眼睛,戴着一幅方框的黑边眼镜,看上去很干练,应该讲得不错吧。为此,我让自己继续听下去。真是人不可貌相,这个年轻的老师讲课娓娓动听,语言流畅,英语发音特别标准,声音带有磁性。听着她给我们讲课,我很快就入迷了。我仿佛离开了中国大地,坐在英国的一间教室中,和当地人在一起上课学习呢。直到下课了,我才回过神来,我还是在中国。
老师布置家庭作业的方式也特别新颖,除了写字母、单词外,还要在微信上交语音作业和字母操录相。崭新的作业形式一下就吸引了我。当我每天兴致勃勃地把语音作业和录相,通过微信发给老师,又马上得到老师耐心地指导和肯定时,我心中感到无比的快乐和满满的成就感。
不知不觉,就到了补习班最后一节课了。老师给我们进行了全面的复习,并进行了考试。我考了满分,得到了一本精致记事本的奖励。下课后,我带着喜悦的心情,告别了我亲爱的老师和同学,依依不舍地离开了学校。
我已经喜欢上这个学校和老师了,这真是一次快乐地学习!

篇20:2024关于父亲节英语作文:祝爸爸父亲节快乐
全文共 1418 字
+ 加入清单Dear Dad,
Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father’s Day cards. They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet as I selected and read, and selected and read again, it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.
You’ll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father’s Days together. I haven’t always been with you on Father’s Day nor have I been with you for all of your birthdays. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to be with you. I’ve always been with you in my heart but sometimes life gets in the way.
You know, Dad, there was a time when we were not only separated by the generation gap but completely polarized by it. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other, father and daughter split apart by age and experience, opinions, hairstyles, cosmetics, clothing, curfews, music, and boys.
The Father-Daughter Duel of ’54 shifted into high gear when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the ‘54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who escorted me home after you reported the Chevy stolen late one evening was too young to understand father-daughter politics and too old to have much tolerance for a snotty 16 year old. You were so decent about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.
