我的英语老师可以算是办公室的一大美女呢！柳叶眉，水灵灵的大眼睛，小巧玲珑的鼻子，还有一张樱桃小嘴，红通通的真可爱。即像动画片里的美少女又像我梦里的可爱天使。

我的英语老师不仅外表美丽而且关心学生。

记得在去年冬天的时候，我们正在上一节英语课，英语老师带着微笑，穿着轻便的羽绒服来上课，同学们专心致志地听并仔仔细细地做好笔记。上完课之后胡老师把我单独拉到外面，她的手慢慢地从口袋里掏出两对花结，那花结的外环是蝴蝶的外型，中间还有一个金黄光闪闪的小蝴蝶，那花结的外环是橘黄色的。我当时看的十分喜欢，想要，但心里并不敢想那是送给自己的。可谁知那真的送给我的。我真不敢相信，英语老师说要6元钱，她送给我这个是因为她见我的头上没有像其他女生头上的花结：另外还有个原因是我工作负责。

我感觉她就像我的妈妈一样，可我的妈妈还送我这么漂亮的花结呢！我收到这个礼物心里甜滋滋的，心想一定不辜负她对我的期望。我至今还保留着这个礼物呢！就像上个月的教师节我因为家庭条件不富裕，所以没买贺卡之类的礼物送给老师，但我一定会取得更好的成绩来报答她，报答母校。

我还要祝所有的老师每年教师节快乐！

The word itself, "Halloween," actually has its origins in the Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted corruption of All Hallows Eve. November 1, "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day"), is a Catholic day of observance in honor of saints. But, in the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31. The holiday was called Samhain (sow-en), the Celtic New year.

One story says that, on that day, the disembodied spirits of all those who had died throughout the preceding year would come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year. It was believed to be their only hope for the afterlife. The Celts believed all laws of space and time were suspended during this time, allowing the spirit world to intermingle with the living.

Naturally, the still-living did not want to be possessed. So on the night of October 31, villagers would extinguish the fires in their homes, to make them cold and undesirable. They would then dress up in all manner of ghoulish costumes and noisily paraded around the neighborhood, being as destructive as possible in order to frighten away spirits looking for bodies to possess.

Probably a better explanation of why the Celts extinguished their fires was not to discourage spirit possession, but so that all the Celtic tribes could relight their fires from a common source, the Druidic fire that was kept burning in the Middle of Ireland, at Usinach.

Some accounts tell of how the Celts would burn someone at the stake who was thought to have already been possessed, as sort of a lesson to the spirits. Other accounts of Celtic history debunk these stories as myth.

The Romans adopted the Celtic practices as their own. But in the first century AD, Samhain was assimilated into celebrations of some of the other Roman traditions that took place in October, such as their day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple, which might explain the origin of our modern tradition of bobbing for apples on Halloween.

The thrust of the practices also changed over time to become more ritualized. As belief in spirit possession waned, the practice of dressing up like hobgoblins, ghosts, and witches took on a more ceremonial role.

The custom of Halloween was brought to America in the 1840s by Irish immigrants fleeing their countrys potato famine. At that time, the favorite pranks in New England included tipping over outhouses and unhinging fence gates.

The custom of trick-or-treating is thought to have originated not with the Irish Celts, but with a ninth-century European custom called souling. On November 2, All Souls Day, early Christians would walk from village to village begging for "soul cakes," made out of square pieces of bread with currants. The more soul cakes the beggars would receive, the more prayers they would promise to say on behalf of the dead relatives of the donors. At the time, it was believed that the dead remained in limbo for a time after death, and that prayer, even by strangers, could expedite a souls passage to heaven.

The Jack-o-lantern custom probably comes from Irish folklore. As the tale is told, a man named Jack, who was notorious as a drunkard and trickster, tricked Satan into climbing a tree. Jack then carved an image of a cross in the trees trunk, trapping the devil up the tree. Jack made a deal with the devil that, if he would never tempt him again, he would promise to let him down the tree.

According to the folk tale, after Jack died, he was denied entrance to Heaven because of his evil ways, but he was also denied access to Hell because he had tricked the devil. Instead, the devil gave him a single ember to light his way through the frigid darkness. The ember was placed inside a hollowed-out turnip to keep it glowing longer.

The Irish used turnips as their "Jacks lanterns" originally. But when the immigrants came to America, they found that pumpkins were far more plentiful than turnips. So the Jack-O-Lantern in America was a hollowed-out pumpkin, lit with an ember.

So, although some cults may have adopted Halloween as their favorite "holiday," the day itself did not grow out of evil practices. It grew out of the rituals of Celts celebrating a new year, and out of Medieval prayer rituals of Europeans. And today, even many churches have Halloween parties or pumpkin carving events for the kids. After all, the day itself is only as evil as one cares to make it.

寒假里，妈妈让我教弟弟学英语。这可真是一件苦差事呀!因为弟弟英语不太好,他平常又不用功。

那天中午，我开始教弟弟学英语了。我说：“Glad to see you。”弟弟却说：“Glag to she you。”我听了很生气，说:“不是‘Glag’,‘Glad’，另外不是‘she’，是‘see’。”弟弟虽然把“Glad”改过来了，可是“see”仍是改不过来。我说“see”，他呢，偏偏说“she”，好像成心气我似的。我让他看着我的嘴，看看我是怎么发音。他看了一会儿，改了过来。可是过了一会儿，又读成“she”了。我说：“不是读‘she’，而是‘see’,把舌尖稍微翘一点，舌头的两边放到牙齿的两侧，牙齿的中间留一点空隙，开始发音，就发出‘see’了。”

弟听了，似乎明白了，好不容易发出了“see”。过了一会儿，我又指出“see”让弟弟读，弟弟读出了“see”，我高兴的说：“弟弟终于改过来了，这可真是太好了！”

又叫了一会儿，弟弟不耐烦了，吵着说不学了。我灵机一动：要不学着英语老师那样，一边讲，一边做游戏。于是，我就把我的想法说给弟弟听，弟弟拍手赞成。顿时，他想变了一个人，一下子有了精神。经过半个小时的努力，弟弟不仅把课文读会了，而且还背会了呢！

通过这件事，我明白了：当老师是多么不容易，我们应该懂得老师的良苦用心，老师说什么，我们做什么，做一个听话的好孩子。

寒假又来啦，放假虽然开心，但是也不要忘了学习呢，下面应届毕业生网为你精心准备了这篇关学校生活的英语作文，仅供参考：

爽朗洒脱的性格，朗朗有力的嗓音和永远严肃的瞳仁中，却不乏一丝母性的慈爱；微挺的鼻梁上，架着一副红框眼镜，圆圆的秀气脸庞，中等微胖的身材，在初次见面就掷地冰寒，说话丝毫不留情。俗话说得好，严师出高徒。虽然我不是那么喜欢这种方式，也不那么提倡，可是我十分欣赏这种传统的教学方式，这样同学们也会将注意力更加集中在课堂的学习上，也让课上喜欢开小差的同学闻风丧胆，从而使学习提高并且还有良好的自觉性。

听说李老师在艺术上也颇有见解，曾领导过学校的英语合唱团参加过许多大大小小的比赛，并且取得优异成绩。而且Mrs.李在教师圈中也具有魅力的人气，是位平易近人的老师，

在往后的日子里，我要再接再厉学习英语，因为我是那么地尊敬我的英语老师——Mrs.李。

Halloween

When the harvest moon rises on October 31, little hobgoblins, spooky ghosts, ghoulish witches and gremlins — their young faces hidden behind grotesque masks — will go forth to frighten friends and neighbors and to threaten them with "Trick or Treat ".

Halloween (AII Hallows Eve) as the name implies, is a nighttime holiday, the one night in the year when the childs world turns to pure fantasy. Children take all the lead parts while parents and other adults play the supporting roles. Encouraged by teachers and merchants and the remembrance of the good time they had the earlier year, children (from 3 to 11 years old) start preparing their costumes and Halloween decorations weeks ahead. Although parents help the children very much prepare the costumes, on Halloween they must pretend to be frightened by the masked visions that suddenly appear. There will be little witches in long black dresses with tall-pointed hats and magic broomsticks to carry them over the rooftops — to a neighbors house in the next block. Ghosts in sheets run with tell-tale sneakers and half socks showing; and terrible pirates with skull and cross-bones painted on their three-cornered hats. Some carry jack-o-lanterns but all carry bags or UNICEF boxes marked "Trick or Treat", which fill up very fast.

Teenagers have their fun playing tricks that sometimes get rather rough. They throw eggs or tomatoes at passing motorists , mark up windows and windshields with hard-to-erase candle wax, roll pumpkins down long hills, carry away porch furniture and garbage can covers, engrave graffiti on fences, or do whatever bad things occur to them as they go around looking for ways to "let off steam". Police officers are alert but they only arrest those caught doing real damage. In most communities there are school dances or block parties to help redirect the energies of the youthful pranksters. Business firms offer prizes for the best costumes and recreation directors help plan the party, but the young people themselves take charge of the entertainment and the decorations — a necessary part of Halloween. Dried corn stalks, pumpkin faces, and piles of apples create the harvest atmosphere; and cutouts of witches on their brooms, goblins, ghosts and black cats symbolize the witchcraft aspect of the holiday. The freshments — apple cider, popcorn and pumpkin pie, and witches made of spicy ginger cookies — also carry out both themes.

There is an occasional adult Halloween Dance in a bright orange and black setting, with paper-made black cats, witches and grinning skeletons floating above the dance floor. But Halloween has become mainly a young peoples holiday — and the younger the child the more exciting he finds it.

万圣节前夜

10月31日，当一轮满月从空中升起的时候，小妖精、妖魔鬼怪、恐怖的巫婆、小捣蛋鬼——孩子们把小脸蛋藏在奇形怪状的面具后——会突然出现在朋友及邻居面前，并威吓着说：“不给糖，要倒霉。”

万圣节前夜，顾名思义，就是仅一个晚上的节日。在一年中的这一夜，孩子们的心灵充满了单纯的梦幻奇境。他们是节日的主人，而父母或其他大人只能起陪衬作用。在老师和商人的鼓励下，在前一年欢度万圣节前夜的美好回忆的诱惑下，孩子们(3至11岁)几星期前便开始准备服装和节日装饰了。虽然家长往往都要帮助孩子们准备服装，但在节日那晚，他们一定要装出一副被突然出现的带面具的鬼怪吓着了的样子。那时，会有穿着黑色长袍、戴着尖尖高帽子的小巫婆出现，她们乘着神扫帚飞过屋顶，飞到临街邻居的屋顶上;还会有披着床单的鬼怪出现，他们边跑边露着帆布鞋和短袜子;还有那可怕的海盗，他们戴着绘有骸髅及交叉的大腿骨的三角帽。有的孩子手提用南瓜刻成的人面形灯笼，但每个孩子都手拿着袋子或联合国儿童基金会发的盒子，上面写着：“不给糖，要倒霉。”很快，这些袋子、盒子里便都装满了糖果。

十几岁的孩子玩那些恶作剧的游戏，有时使大人们相当为难。他们向过往的车辆扔鸡蛋或西红柿;往玻璃窗、汽车挡风玻璃上涂抹难以擦掉的蜡;把南瓜滚下长长的山路;搬走门廊里的家具;偷走垃圾箱盖;在篱笆上乱涂乱写，到处惹是生非;这样来消耗掉他们多余的精力。警察虽然警惕性很高，但也只能逮捕那些真正的犯罪者。在许多社区人们举办交际舞会或街区晚会，以分散那些搞恶作剧的年轻人的精力。会后由商业界为最佳服装颁发奖品。虽然文艺指导帮助策划晚会，但是年轻人都亲自负责组织活动和动手装饰，这些是万圣节前夜的必可不少的一部分。晒干的玉米秆、用南瓜雕刻成的人脸以及一堆堆的苹果，使晚会增加了丰收的气氛;用各种东西雕刻成的乘扫帚的巫婆、妖魔鬼怪和黑猫标志了节日的魔力。晚会上供应的新鲜食品——苹果酒、爆米花、南瓜馅饼以及制成巫婆形的辣姜饼——既增加了丰收的气氛，又标志了节日的魔力。

万圣节前夜偶尔也有成年人的舞会，舞台背景为鲜艳的橙色和黑色，舞场上还舞动着用纸做成的黑猫、巫婆及龇牙咧嘴的骷髅。尽管如此，万圣节前夜主要是孩子们的节日—一孩子越小，就越兴奋。

Dear students:

You’re invited to an Amerlish Halloween party! Join us for the fun festivities with games, treats and more. To have an authentic Halloween experience be sure to come in costume. You can dress as an animal, your favorite character, or an idea. There will be a contest with prizes awarded for costumes. We look forward to celebrating with you!

Halloween is a very American holiday with roots in ancient European traditions. November 1st is All Saints Day, and November 2nd is All Souls Day when the spirits of the dead are free to roam between realms. However, the night before, All Hallow’s Eve or Halloween, is when evil spirits escape into the world. Over the centuries, several traditions began for protection including that of carving a gourd or pumpkin and placing it at your door with a candle glowing inside to scare the evil spirits away. Costumes also come from this tradition as a way to scare the evil spirits away and protect one’s home and family. The next two days were used as days to remember and honor ancestors very similar to China’s Tomb Sweeping Day.

Today, Americans celebrate Halloween by dressing in costumes and going trick-or-treating. This is when children go from door to door and get rewarded with candy and treats. Pumpkins are carved and placed on doorsteps, and parties are held by young and old alike.

We hope you’ll join us for this exciting Halloween festival on October 31.
