一说到家庭趣事，我就忍不住笑，忍不住想起春节那次包饺子比赛。

那是正月初一，我们一家人和爷爷、奶奶、大伯家、姑姑家，只有我家人数最多，去年我妈妈给我添了一个小弟弟，我家就有四口人，总共十二人聚在一起，异常热闹。

我们大家庭有个传统，一家人聚在一起，一定要包饺子吃，这次也不例外。妈妈和姑姑准备了饺子馅，做好了饺子皮，只需包饺子了。一家之主的爷爷却下命令让他们停下来，把专心看电视的我、堂姐、表妹叫到跟前严肃地下达新的指示：“今天的饺子由你们三姐弟负责！”“什么！我可不会包饺子？”我心里暗暗叫苦，可看堂姐，表妹没有异议，我也不敢一个人抗命！爷爷继续说：“本次包饺子采取竞赛制……”一听比赛我就来劲，好奇心使我大声嚷嚷：“比赛赢了奖金有多少啊？”话音一落，爸爸一口茶直喷出去，打趣道：“就你财迷一个！”大家都笑了，堂姐和表妹也大声附和。爷爷说：“放一万个心吧！孩子们，奖金大大的有，但要听好规则。本次比赛由我和你奶奶当评委，饺子包得好最好看的和数量最多的，就可以领到奖金。”一听到有奖金，我们都特别兴奋，摩拳擦掌，双眼金光四射，准备大干一场。

在我们的注视下，爷爷右手高高举起，停顿三秒又迅速放下，“比赛开始”的命令也随之发出。

我们三个立马行动。我首先抢了一叠饺子皮和一碗饺子馅放在自己眼前，左手撕下一张饺子皮，右手拿起筷子夹起一坨肉沫放在饺子皮中间，然后把饺子皮重合，捏紧，一气呵成，一个饺子成功了。

“一个良好的开头是成功的一半。”但事实却是让人失望的。惨了，由于没有沾水到饺子皮上，我的手还没有离开，饺子皮又分开了，我赶紧拿起又捏了一次，再放盘里，又散了。这下，我可着急了，再偷看表姐和表妹，她们都做好了一个，而且精致小巧、超级好看，放在盘子里，没一点散架的危险。我一急下手重了，皮都被我给捏掉了，馅也落了下来。我急得要哭了。妈妈赶紧过来帮我。妈妈说：“把饺子皮放在左手掌心，饺子馅要适当，太多了就会撑破，太少就撑不成形。然后将饺子对折成半圆形，捏紧中间。用手指将右半边饺皮先封口，再用同样的方法将左半边也封口记得一定要封牢。把饺子两端向中间弯拢，将两端饺边捏在一块捏牢，使半圆形的边微微翘起。”妈妈说完，一个美丽的元宝饺就成形了。

我赶紧学，刚才因为馅放多了，老是把饺子皮撑开了，这下我学乖了，只放适量的，按妈妈说的，我一步一步，也终于捏好了一个饺子，可怎么看都不像个元宝，就像一个面疙瘩。不管三七二十一了，反正已经落后一大截了，我必须加快速度。

不一会儿，堂姐和表妹面前的盒子已经排满了，我也不甘落后，努力的包着，时不时地偷偷看看她们的饺子数。大人们都被我们吸引过来了，不时指点我们，为我们加油打气，弟弟也过来凑热闹，把案板上的面粉拍得到处都是，把大家变成了“小白脸。”他的两只手还不停地往脸上擦，不一会儿，就把自己弄成了面粉脸，逗得众人哈哈大笑。女孩子就喜欢笑，我心中暗喜，特别感谢弟弟，手下的动作加快了。

终于，最后一坨饺子馅也被我抢来包了。我长长地吁了一口气，直了直酸痛的腰，看着自己盆里的成果，脸不竟红了。

爷爷和奶奶开始评比了，马上就可以宣布结果了。我有些忐忑不安。

爷爷宣布：“本次比赛，斯斯和紫微的饺子外形美观，寓意年年有余，是好兆头，并列第一，请领奖金！”看着堂姐和表妹兴奋地从爷爷手里领过大红包，我有一丝失落。

“紫瑞包的饺子，外形虽不美，但数量第一，有奖！”爷爷的声音又响了起来。

“我也有？”抬头一看，爷爷手里还扬着一个大红包，太好了，我一蹦三尺高，红包就到了我手里，满屋子爆发出一阵笑声。

有趣的包饺子比赛结束了，我得了红包，全家得了欢乐！更重要的是我明白了一个道理：做任何事情，一定要亲自去实践！

Today was Sunday, I was so happy because our family had a big meeting, we went to the park to have the barbecue. We called our relatives to join us, it was such a great party. As the family members haven’t got together for a long time, so my father decided to get everybody united. In the park, I played with my cousins, we were taking a visit of the park while the parents were doing the barbecue.

When my counsins and I played so tiredly, we went to join the grow-ups’ activities.

The fathers were talking about the business stuff, while the mothers were talking about the children and their daily life. Our family was so harmonious, we shared the things together and helped each other. I like this activity so much, I wish my families can have more time to be together.

今天是星期天，我很开心，因为我们的家庭有一个大聚会，我们去公园烧烤。我们叫上了亲戚来加入，这是多么盛大的派对啊。由于家庭成员间很久没有在一起了，因此父亲决定把大家团聚在一起。在公园里，我和表亲们在玩，我们在参观公园，而家长们则在烧烤。在表亲们和我玩累了，我们就加入大人们的活动。父亲们在谈论生意上的事情，然而母亲们在谈论孩子和日常生活。我们的家庭是那么的和谐，一起分享东西和彼此帮助。我很喜欢这样的活动，我希望我的家人们能有的时间相聚。

although it wasnt celebrated in the u。s。 until 1907， there were days honoring mothers even in the days of ancient greece。 in those days， however， it was rhea， the mother of the gods that was given honor。

later， in the 1600s， in england there was an annual observance called "mothering sunday。" it was celebrated during june， on the fourth sunday。 on mothering sunday， the servants， who generally lived with their employers， were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers。 it was traditional for them to bring a special cake along to celebrate the occasion。in the u。s。， in 1907 ana jarvis， from philadelphia， began a campaign to establish a national mothers day。 jarvis persuaded her mothers church in grafton， west virginia to celebrate mothers day on the second anniversary of her mothers death， the 2nd sunday of may。 the next year mothers day was also celebrated in philadelphia。

jarvis and others began a letter-writing campaign to ministers， businessmen， and politicians in their quest to establish a national mothers day。 they were successful。 president woodrow wilson， in 1914， made the official announcement proclaiming mothers day a national observance that was to be held each year on the 2nd sunday of may。

Directions：For this part you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Which Mode of Travel Do You like？ You should write noless than 150 words and base your composition on the outline （given in Chinese） below：

1. 有的人喜欢参加旅行社旅游（package tours）

2. 有的人喜欢自己独立行动（travelling on one’s own）

3. 比较这两种旅游方式，我喜欢的是……

范文：

With the general standard of living improvingand the working week becoming shorter，more andmore people are able to make a holiday trip toplaces of interest. While many like to joinpackage tours fro convenience，I prefer to traveln my own.

I like travelling on may own not only because it costs much less but because it gives a great degree of independence and freedom. Travelling on my own，I’m my own boss；and can decide when to start on my way，where to linger a little longer and which spot can be skipped over to save energy or time for another spot. I can always adjust my plan. On the contrary，in a package tour you’re deprived of as much freedom as in a military base. At the sound of the whistle，you have to jump up from a sound sleep and，with heavy-lidded eyes，hurry to the gathering place where you are collected and counted to board a coach. At the sight of the little flag waving，you must immediately take yourself away from the scenes you are marveling at and follow the guide whose sole interest is to cover all spots according to him strict schedule，regardless of the weather or your health condition.

True，you may encounter inconveniences if you travel individually，for instance，getting accommodations for the night and finding a place for meals. But nothing can be compared with the freedom which is vital to a person who takes a holiday trip mainly to escape from constraints of his routine life.

However, after the journey last week, I dont want to travel by train anymore, because it is too tired to have fun. It took me sixteen hours on the train. I was very tired and I had to spend a day to have a good rest. And it was boring on the train. Therefore, I think it should not travel by train if its far.

IT snowed heavily last week in northern China. Big snows fell on Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi, Ningxia and Xinjiang. For many cities, it was the biggest snowfall in 50 years. The snow made traveling hard. Many schools had to close for days.

亲爱的父亲，你脸上的皱纹记载着沧桑，年龄已老一脸的慈祥，儿女心中你的身影，永远伟岸和坚强。下面是小编分享的父亲初中英语作文，欢迎大家阅读!

今天是父亲节，想到爸爸平时那么辛苦，我决定送一个礼物给爸爸，不过我不知道送什么好，突然，我想到妈妈和爸爸那么好，一定有什么好的建议。

于是，我去找母亲商量怎么让父亲高兴。可是，我和母亲两个人商量了好一会儿都没有想出办法来。后来，还是我灵机一动才想出了一个好办法。我立刻对母亲说：“父亲的胡子很多，而且经常会长出来。而且他比较忙，所以，我想买一把剃须刀给爸爸。让他一有空就可以剃去胡须。妈妈，你说好吗？”“好呀，孩子你想到真好！”我听了别提有多高兴了。

于是，我和妈妈一起来到了一家专卖店。那家商店东西真多呀！可是，我想到自己是来买剃须刀的。于是，我直奔陈列剃须刀的柜台。我挑选了一会儿，看到一把银白色的剃须刀既好看又实用，而且价钱也不贵。于是，我掏出自己带来的平时省吃俭用积累起来的钱，给了老板，拿了那把银白色的剃须刀就和妈妈一起走了。走出商店，妈妈对我说：“送你父亲一样东西不太好吧，再去买一样，好吗？”“好呀，只是我带的钱不多了。”“那没有关系，我这儿有钱。”于是，我就和妈妈一起去了蓝房子——一家专卖贺卡和礼物的商店。进了商店，我立刻开始挑选。我选好了一张可爱的小贺卡。妈妈看了以后说我的眼光真不错。

回到家里，我马上在贺卡上写上我对父亲的祝福语言。然后，我把它和剃须刀放在一起，耐心地等待着。

父亲下班回家来了，我立刻迎上去把礼物和贺卡递给父亲。父亲看到这一份特别珍贵的礼物，迫不及待地看了起来。等到看清礼物以后，他的嘴巴都张开成了“O”型。

然后爸爸非常开心的把我抱起来了，妈妈在旁边看到我们这样，也非常的开心。晚上，妈妈还做了很丰盛的晚餐，我们全家在父亲节过得非常的开心。这真是一个难忘的父亲节。

Today is fathers day, thinking of what my father had always so hard, I decided to send a gift for dad, but I dont know what is good, all of a sudden, I think of mom and dad so good, there must be some good advice.

So I went to talk to my mother about how to make my father happy. But my mother and I discussed it for a while, and we didnt figure it out. Then I came up with a good idea. I immediately said to mother: "fathers beard, and often grow. And he is busy, so I want to buy a razor to dad. Let him can shave beard. Whenever you have a mom, what do you say?" "Well, what a good thing you think of a child! I didnt hear how happy I was.

So my mother and I went to a store. What a lot of things in that store! But I thought I was here to buy a razor. So I went straight to the counter where the razor was displayed. I picked it for a while and saw a silver-white razor that was both nice and practical and inexpensive. So I took out the money I had accumulated, and gave it to my boss, and took the silver-white razor and went away with my mother. Walking out of the shop, my mother said to me, "its not so good to send your father. "Well, I dont have enough money." "It doesnt matter. I have money here." So I went to blue house with my mother -- a shop that sells CARDS and presents. Entering the shop, I immediately started to pick. Ive chosen a lovely little card. My mother said I had a good eye.

When I got home, I immediately wrote my greeting to my father on the card. Then I put it alongside the razor and waited patiently.

When my father came home from work, I immediately welcomed the gifts and CARDS to my father. The father saw the special gift and looked at it eagerly. By the time he saw the gift, his mouth was open to "O".

Then my father was very happy to pick me up, and my mother was very happy to see us. In the evening, my mother made a big dinner, and my family enjoyed their fathers day very much. It was an unforgettable fathers day.

Every one has a different personality. I have an optimistic personality and

I always do everything happily. But not every one finds this easy. When I meet

people like this, I usually advise them to see the school councilor. There are

reasons why everyones personality is so different. If your parents love you and

care about you, then your personality will be healthy and happy. If your parents

dont, then your personality could sad and withdrawn. A persons personality

determines his or her future. So if you come across someone who is often

worried, you can try and help them or tell them to seek help from a

councilor.

Recently, we have little time to keep close contact with nature. We spend

too much time on study or working. We almost forget that how green the grass is,

how beautiful the flowers are, and how sweetly the birds are singing outside our

windows. A saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". It means

that we need to relax ourselves and go out to breathe more fresh air. We can

also climb a hill in the suburbs.Its good for our health.

Lets go outing.

Traveling is moer and more popular in the modern world.it helps us open our

eyes and learn knowledge differden places.so i thing traveling is helpful for

us.

When we are free during the holiday ,we can go to some beautiful places to

relax ourselves .w hile we are in different pleaces ,we will have a wonderful

feeling in all we see,there we can eat all kinds of delicious food,visit many

places of interest or something else.

On the other hand ,traveling will help us learn lots of local cultures

,people’s lives there ,sometimes you can make some new friends,it also can make

your life colorful.to us students mwe can relax ourselves from the busy studying

life,we can use these experiences in our studying.

So if you have time ,traveling is the best way to relax yourself the more

places you travel,the mare you will learn.

When I return to my hometown on holidays, I will be very excited, because

it is the place that I love so much. The trees are so green and the sky is so

blue. When I play on the river side, I can catch fish. I grow up there and have

a happy time with my dear friends. I will never forget the beautiful scenery

there.

迈克是我的好朋友。每当我需要帮助时，他就来到我身边。一天放学了，我不得不留下来跟3组的同学一起打扫卫生。但3组的其他人都在外边玩，他们谁都不想回来。于是迈克就过来帮我扫地。真是优秀作文 ，患难朋友才是真正的朋友。

Mike is my good friend. Any time I need help, he will come to me. One day after school, I had to stay and clean the classroom with Group Three. But they were still playing outside without any sign to go back. So Mike came and helped me clean the floor. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Young volunteers

Lu Hao is a middle school student in Guizhou, who joined the “1 helps 1” program of the Youth Volunteer Community Development Project last year. Every Tuesday and Friday he visits an old man who lives alone. “Mr. Zhao is weak and cannot do much for himself, so I give him some help. I help do some shopping, do some housework, or read the newspaper to him as his eyesight is not good.” He said.

Meng Yu is studying for her master’s degree in Canada. She has a busy timetable, but still finds time for voluntary activities during the weekends. “Last month I took part in an event to help hungry children in some of the less developed villages. Twenty-two of us went without food for 30 hours! It was a challenge, but we could drink as much as we liked and we had a doctor there, so it was not dangerous. We wanted to improve awareness of hunger because every day children are dying of starvation. It was a great success. The local newspaper and TV reported it and we received many donations.”

Lu Hao, Lin Ying and Meng Yu are all helping to make other people’s lives better. Would you like to make a difference by becoming a volunteer?
