六年级圣诞节的英语作文【一】

I like Christmas, it is just like our Spring Festival.

Maybe the Spring Festival is much more important and interesting than Christmas, but I like Christmas Day better. Because we can spend time with our friends and classmates during Christmas. When it is snowy, Christmas becomes much more lovely, just like in fairytales. I can imagine I am in a fairytale, the girl who sold the matches is my friend, the ugly duck becoming more and more beautiful and so on. What a beautiful place! So we can also call Christmas “Snowy Lovely Day.”

On Christmas Day, shops are red and green. There are so many Christmas cards, Christmas hats, Christmas dolls and many colourful things. So shops look very beautiful. We can give a card or a doll to our friends and say “Merry Christmas.” By the way, I think studying can also become much more interesting.

Christmas is coming, it also means a new year will come. Let’s study harder to welcome the new year!

She comes to our class to learn Chinese and English with me in my class. This afternoon, when it was art and craft class, our class were cleaning the gymnasium. And she did it with us too. So I usually talk to her when she doesn’t know what to do? But when the class is over, I always haven’t got enough time to talk to her. And I usually can’t find her. So we don’t have time to introduce to each other. But it is the first time that I have a foreign student. So I’m very happy! Mum, you often tell me, “If you are happy, I’ll be happy, too.” So you have to be happy, because I’m happy! I like you when you are happy!

In the end I wish you everything is just fine!

最后我希望你一切都好!

And I also meat some of my good friends during the vacation ,we have a very long talk about the life of each other in the past year and play table tennis tegether .And I watched the spring festival party of the CCTV in the last seconds of the 2004 year!

That’s all, all my dull, coldly and snowy winter vacation.

这一切，我所有的乏味，冷冷地和冬季度假。

In the 21 century, most homes have TVs, videos and DVDs. Most children get information and knowledge from the TVs, videos and DVDs. But I still like reading. I think it is very interesting. It makes me happy and clever. After lunch, I like reading books in the sunshine. Before sleeping, I like reading books and drinking a glass of milk. At the weekend, I always spend a lot of time staying at the library.

I can say that I have grown up with books. If you dont like reading, please try reading a book, you can learn a lot!

Today is fools day and its also my birthday. My name is Sam. Im 11 years old. In my birthday party, Mother usually buys some interesting books for me and my father usually buys a pair of beautiful shoes for me. I love my gifts.

My friends are coming. The boys and girls are enjoying my birthday party. Theyre laughing and playing games. Now, Theyre eating sandwiches, cakes and fish. Theyre drinking apple juice and orange juice too. My birthday cake is very big. There are 11 candles on it. They say: happy birthday to Sam! Hip, Hip, Hurry! Hip, Hip, hurry!

Oh, what a nice birthday party!

I am a girl of ten, and I live in a small mountain village far from Taiyuan. The only person that lives with me is my mother, because my father is away for eight years, working in a city.

我是一个十岁的女孩，我住在离太原很远的一个小山村。这与我的生活的唯一的人是我的妈妈，因为我父亲离家已经八年了，在一个城市工作。

During the Spring Festival, my father came back home. He looked thin and tired. He gave my mother two thousand yuan, and told her that he would work even harder, earn more money, and then he could take us to the city He stayed at home for only ten days.We are living a poor life now. But what I want most is not money, but my father. I miss him very much!

春节期间，我的父亲回到家里。他看起来瘦瘦的，很累。他给了我母亲二千元，并告诉她，他会更加努力工作，赚更多的钱，然后他可以带我们到他呆在家里，只有十天的城市。我们生活在一个贫穷的生活。但我最需要的不是钱，而是我的父亲。我很想念他!

There are four people in my family.My father is a worker.He goes to work by car.He likes playing computer games.My mother is a farmer.She likes singsing.she is taller than me.My brother is younger than me.He likes watching TV.I am a student.I like dancing.

在我的身边，有许许多多令我感动的人，其中最让我感动的莫不过是我的英语老师Miss Liang。

Miss Liang 是我的英语老师，为什么说她感动人呢，是因为她对我们的教学工作进行得无微不至。每天早上一来到学校，她都微笑着对我打招呼。有的同学请假缺课了，她总是待他回来后帮他认真地补 上落下的课。还有的同学做了些错事，她都会叫他到跟前，耐心地批评指正。在同学的面前，她显得格外亲切，好似她是我们母亲一样，我们都非常喜欢她，喜欢她讲课时流利的语言，喜欢她和同学们 交流时亲切的眼神，更喜欢她对教学无微不至的优良品质。

记得一节英语课上，和往常一样，Miss Liang 提着录音机走进教室，所不同的是，她好像有点疲惫的样子，而且没有立即叫大家上课，而是在黑板上写道：非常抱歉！顿时，全班立即”热闹“起来了， 所有同学都窃窃私语，不知道发生了什么事：Miss Liang 究竟怎么了？为什么写下这些字？是不是生病了？老师没管我们，咳了几声，在黑板上写下了一些这节课要学的英语单词，然后又咳了几声，吃 力地说：”上课！“我听见她沙哑的嗓音，才知道，原来Miss Liang 嗓子哑了！同学们都大为吃惊，Miss Liang平时嗓音动听，今天怎么突然哑了，应该是天天上课累的吧。

老师叫了一个帮手，让他读她书上写的句子，自己也在旁边指导着，每次说话都很辛苦，有时非常沙哑，有时甚至发不出声音，要咳几下才能继续。我听见Miss Liang 那沙哑的声音，恨不得举起手来， 大声说道：”Miss Liang，我来帮您讲！“

直到下课，Miss Liang那沙哑的嗓音才慢慢离开了我们耳际……

从这件事中，我体会到了Miss Liang 教学的一丝不苟，舍己为人，如果没有这些品德，她可能会在课上随便乱讲应付了事，也可能一点小咳嗽就不上课。可Miss Liang 不是这样，她为了教学呕心沥 血的精神彻底感动了我们！
