今年四月到六月，我参加了20xx年“希望之星”英语风采大赛。这可是全国性的比赛哦！必须要闯过海选、市赛和省赛三关，才能去北京参加中央电视台的总决赛。

参加市赛的早上，我和妈妈坐车到了目的地。当时，太阳特别大，天特别热，而且人山人海。我们到了之后赶紧报到，接着就排队去比赛了。因为我是最后一个，等了好久才轮到我，裁判先让我抽图，准备看图说话，再自我介绍。我觉得自己前两个环节表现得挺好的，最后是回答问题，这个环节有点难，四个题中我只答出两个。紧接着裁判宣布结果，我心想：肯定有我！肯定有我！结果，真的有我！我拿了市赛一等奖，进入了省赛。

省赛的准备过程是非常艰难的，又是背台词，又是准备自我介绍，还有模拟考试。仅仅是看图说话环节，一训练就是一上午……

终于迎来了省赛。我怀着紧张的心情走进赛场，里面很安静，选手们都在努力地背词，我也不甘示弱。自我介绍环节，我们都做得非常好，看图说话环节就比较惨了，得知成绩后，我的心情非常低落，爸爸妈妈安慰我，要我别泄气，要我在下午最后一个环节加油，还特意给我复习了几遍演讲内容，我的心情又明朗起来。下午的比赛开始了，轮到我上场了，我站在台上，信心十足地完成了演讲，最后的分数还不错哦！

我的20xx年“希望之星”英语风采大赛结束了，虽然我没有踏上国赛舞台，但是我虽败犹荣！这个过程中，我见识到了那些高手们的厉害！我一定要好好学习英语！我一定会回来的！明年再战！

For my parents, they are the best people for me, when I am sick, they look after me carefully. When I go home late, they will worry about me. They give me so much, I love them.

当我们上学的时候，老师告诉我们应该要尊重父母。父母是养育我们的人，全心全意照顾我们。对于我的父母来说，他们是最好的人，当我生病的时候，他们仔细地照顾我。当我晚回家的时候，他们会担心我。他们给予了我很多，我爱他们。

I have a lively, cheerful good friend.

His big eyes, curved eyebrows, short hair, a row of white teeth, smile is so handsome!

When he was happy eyes narrowed into a crack, open the big mouth, like a hippo, there were two big front teeth. As long as you see him smile, you will follow him laugh.

When he is angry, staring eyes, bite a tooth. If there is a table or sofa beside, he would knock once in a while. If not, his fist grip like steamed bread.

His lonely listlessly and hung (down) his head as if to cry.

This is my good friend. Can you guess who he is?

我有一个活泼、开朗的好朋友。

他大大的眼睛，弯弯的眉毛，短短的头发，一排洁白的牙齿，笑起来帅极了!

他高兴的时候眼睛眯成一条缝，张开大大的嘴巴，像河马一像，还露出两颗大大的门牙。你只要看到他笑，你也会跟着他笑。

他生气的时候，瞪着眼睛，咬着牙。如果旁边有桌子或者沙发，他就会敲一下。如果没有，他的拳头握得像馒头一样。

他寂寞的时候无精打采地垂着头，仿佛要哭出来。

这就是我的好朋友。你能猜出来他是谁吗?

复活节英语作文（二）

The Easter we celebrate today is a combination of different traditions. Partly, it comes from old festivals to celebrate Spring. And partly it comes from the Christian celebration of the rebirth of Jesus Christ.Most people agree that the word "Easter" comes from the Anglo-Saxon Goddess Eastre, a symbol of Spring. It is easy to see how " Eastre timev"  became " Easter time" .As a chief Christian festival, Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the 1st day of Spring. It can be as early as March 22, or as late as April 25! Many dates of the Christian calendar are dependent on Easter.The celebrations of Easter have many customs and legends that have nothing to do with Christianity. Of all the symbols associated with Easter, the egg, the symbol of richness and new life, is the most important. The customs and traditions of using eggs have been associated with Easter for centuries.Originally, Easter eggs were painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring and were used in Easter-egg rolling contests or given as gifts. After they were colored and printed with various designs, the eggs were exchanged by lovers and romantic admirers. In the Middle Ages, eggs were traditionally given at Easter to the servants. In Germany, eggs were given to children along with other Easter gifts.

复活节英语作文（三）

Easter, anniversary of the Resurrection of Christ, observed on the first Sunday after a full moon on or after 21 March.    People celebrate the holiday according to their beliefs and their religious denominations （命名）. Christians commemorate Good Friday as the day that Jesus Christ died and Easter Sunday as the day that He was resurrected （复活）. Protestant settlers brought the custom of a sunrise service, a religious gathering at dawn, to the United States.    On Easter Sunday children wake up to find that the Easter Bunny has left them baskets of candy. He has also hidden the eggs that they decorated earlier that week. Children hunt for the eggs all around the house. Neighborhoods and organizations hold Easter egg hunts, and the child who finds the most eggs wins a prize.    The Easter Bunny is a rabbit-spirit. Long ago, he was called the Easter Hare. Hares and rabbits have frequent multiple births so they became a symbol of fertility. The custom of an Easter egg hunt began because children believed that hares laid eggs in the grass. The Romans believed that All life comes from an egg. Christians consider eggs to be the seed of life and so they are symbolic of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

it was many octobers ago when it happened. dark magic never gives any warnings, but i sure wish it did. i had always been a peculiar child- i could look at the clouds for an hour or so without getting bored, and see the tiniest details. thinking back, it was only a matter of time before something happened.

it was the day before my thirteenth birthday: october the 30th and i was taking a long walk through the dajurie woods. i knew i was getting dangerously close to the heart of the forest, but i didn’t care. i had to do something to take my troubles off. my mother thinks it my fault that my 11 year old sister was foolish enough to wander off and get lost. my darn fault! how is that my fault, may i ask? now, where was i? ah, yes, strolling through dajurie woods. to this day, i still don’t know how i ever fell asleep in the middle of walking, but i must’ve done so, for all i remember was breathing in the pine-scented air, enjoying my stroll, and then suddenly falling into a deep black void of darkness.

when i woke up, (or got out of the darkness, if i wasn’t truly sleeping) i was standing in an elegant stony hallway. it seemed to stretch on forever. the hall was only slightly illuminated by torches, glowing (of all things) green. i started tiptoeing down the hall, for how long, i do not know. i only remember the sense of terror, which kept growing with each and every step i take. at last, i reached a dilapidated wooden door with an iron handle. i could smell an enchantment in the air. something was there. something ancient and evil. i could tell… … you know how some people say they have butterflies in their stomachs when they’re scared? well, i had killer bees.

i just stared at the door knob for a while, then, at last, got up all my courage, peeked inside, and immediately screamed so loud that i feared i’d never speak again. for inside, lay the corpse of my sister. the most startling thing was that her eyes were midnight black, instead of their regular grey-green. what in the world happened???

i was shaking all over. my hair nearly stood strait up. suddenly, a voice rasped in my ear “yesss, you shall do quite nicsssely… …”, and before i knew it, i was pinned to the ground. for the first time, i noticed my new surroundings. i was in a gorgeous flower garden, yet it looked different from something you see in an average garden. it looked…, well, it looked more beautiful. more beautiful and deadly. i would’ve probably even enjoyed my stay if i wasn’t pinned down and trying to breath, with my sister already dead.

i looked up at my captor, and immediately wished i hadn’t. i knew, at that moment, that for as long as i live, (which might be really short, depending on what the captor was trying to do) i’ll never forget my captor’s face- for there wasn’t one. yes, there were eyes, a crooked nose, and a mouth, yet somehow they weren’t… … flesh. they were fragrant of fears, shadows, and nightmares. i did not know how that was even possible, but i knew it was true, somehow. its body wasn’t there at all, only an eerie invisible force, pushing me to the ground.

perhaps i should’ve struggled, should’ve screamed for help, but i found that i couldn’t- i was completely paralysed. finally i managed to croak -“what?” the monster smiled with its shadowy mouth, showing blood covered fangs.

“you ssshall fall into the sssame fate asss your sssister,” he rasped in the same snake-like voice, “you mortalsss are ssso foolissssh, never realizing the truth! why do you think thessse woods are named ‘dajurie’? they were elvish for me, the mighty dracula! for centuriesss i have waited for mortalsss with magic in their blood to ssstumble acrosss my trap. you ssshall die a famous death, my dear, the death that bringsss me to a true form. then, i ssshall be able to feassst on whoever i pleassse!”

with that, he started to lower his fangs into my flesh. time slowed down. i knew it wasn’t just about me anymore. if dracula managed to rise to power, my world was doomed. i had to think. what has defeated beings of the night in stories?

just then, dracula’s fangs touched my skin. suddenly, i knew what to do. i shouted at the top of my lungs “i’m not afraid of you! you’re never going to hurt my world. you’re just a shadow!!” i was surprised to feel my confidence soaring back to me. i was somehow, somehow stronger.

dracula jerked away as if all his energy was gone. slowly his terrifying face cracked and crumbled into nothingness. i fell again, into the same darkness that brought me to the vampire’s garden. except this time i was grateful to be whisked away. after a while, i felt someone shaking me. i opened my eyes- it was my mother.

“just what happened to you???” she asked, looking like she was on the verge of tears, but hey, i guess i looked that way too. suddenly, her hand flew to her mouth. “y- your e- eyes,” she stammered, “t-they’re, they’re black!”

i just shook my head, “trust me, you wouldn’t believe me if i told you.”

我的英语老师颜老师是一个另类的老师，像课文里的怀特森老师一样，性格独特。

颜老师个子中等，戴着个黑框眼镜，样子很文艺。他常穿着一件皮夹克，最近有些发福，啤酒肚微微突出。

他从来都是一个有趣的老师，从头到脚都洋溢着搞笑的气息。要是演技好一点，说不定是一个喜剧明星。他的课上我们都不会无精打采地趴在桌上沉默不语，因为他上课方式很有趣。大前天下午，我们刚从体育课上回来，个个都有气无力地趴在桌上，老师见我们精神不好，一上课就来了开头彩。他对着一个同学说：“这位先生你的发型看起来像只炸毛的猫的毛。”我们齐刷刷地看向那个同学，还真挺像的，如同刺一样，根根竖向了空中，我们都情不自禁地笑了起来。这一笑，仿佛驱走了疲惫，上课的状态也好多了。

上着上着，有一个关于四季的单词很是绕口，老师怕我们记不住，就说：“我们的班级是一个神奇的班级，有来自不同季节的人。”于是他找出了一个只穿着一件汉衫的同学说：“这是夏天的代表。”接着他又找出了三个季节代表，将他们统称为“四季组合“，逗得我们哈哈大笑，我们很快记住了这个单词。

在这一课里还有“吐鲁番”和“葡萄干”两个长而难记的单词，老师又很快想出了法子，他让我们记下他们的中文谐音，这下好读多了，将单词和谐音对比起来，就不难记了。他叫一个同学站起来读一下句子，但那个同学不自信，于是老师用搞笑的方式鼓励了他，他充满自信，大声读了出来。

我的英语老师就是这么一个个性独特，风趣幽默的老师。

History

Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summers end".Snap-Apple Night (1832) by Daniel Maclise.Depicts apple bobbing and divination games at a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland.The name Halloween and many of its present-day traditions derive from the Old English era.

The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day.[4] Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.

11月1日 -- 万圣节 All Saints Day

11月2日 -- 墨西哥的鬼节 Day of Death

万圣节(All Saints Day, All Hallows Day或Hallowmas) 是每年11月1日的欧美大节日。

Halloween 是 All Hallows Eve 的缩写，万圣节前夜的意思，指10月31日的晚上。

For thousands of years people have been celebrating different holidays and festivals at the end of October. The Celts celebrated it as Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”, with “sow” rhyming with cow)。 The Irish English dictionary published by the Irish Texts Society defines the word as follows:

“Samhain, All Hallowtide, the feast of the dead in Pagan and Christian times, signalizing the close of harvest and the initiation of the winter season, lasting till May, during which troops (esp. the Fiann) were quartered. Faeries were imagined as particularly active at this season. From it the half year is reckoned. also called Feile Moingfinne (Snow Goddess)。(1) The Scottish Gaelis Dictionary defines it as ”Hallowtide. The Feast of All Soula. Sam + Fuin = end of summer.“(2) Contrary to the information published by many organizations, there is no archaeological or literary evidence to indicate that Samhain was a deity. The Celtic Gods of the dead were Gwynn ap Nudd for the British, and Arawn for the Welsh. The Irish did not have a ”lord of death“ as such.

The Celts believed that every year on the last day of October, the souls of the dead visited the earth.www.

When the Romans conquered the Celts in the first century A.D., they added parts of their festivals, Feralia and Pomona to the tradition. Feralia was a festival to honor the dead and Pomona was a harvest festival named after the goddess of fruit (apples) and trees.

Around the eigth century, the Christian church made November 1 All Saints Day to honor all of the saints that didnt have a special day of their own. Over the years these festivals combined, the mass held on All Saints Day was called Allhallowmas (the mass of all Hallows - saintly people)。 The night before was known as All Hallows Eve. Eventually this name became Halloween.

In the 1800s, as a lot of people emigrated to the U.S., the holidays and traditions of different cultures merged. Halloween was not always a happy time. October 31, or the night before took on other names. Some called it Devils or Hell night, to others it was mischief night. Here in Vermont, the night before is called cabbage night. To some people this became a time to play tricks on others. Some of these tricks were not fun at all. Luckily, community groups and individuals took action and started to change Halloween into a family event. Dressing up in costumes and going ”trick or treating“, costume parades, community parties and Fall festivals are some of the ways that Halloween is celebrated today.

Other countries have different Fall festivals to honor the deceased.

The Festival of the Dead is one of the most important happenings in both Palermo and the rest of Sicily. The second of November is a festival day for the children of Palermo as, according to tradition,they were made to believe that their dead relatives would return the night before and leave them traditional sweets and cakes on the table (Martorana fruit, which is almond paste made into the shape of different fruit)。 They would also receive puppets of boiled sugar and toys. Its one way of keeping the memory of their dead relatives and loved ones alive.

一年中最”闹鬼“的这天夜里，各种妖魔鬼怪、 海盗、 外星来客和巫婆们纷纷出动。在基督纪元以前，凯尔特人在夏未举行仪式感激上苍和太阳的恩惠。

当时的占卜者点燃并施巫术以驱赶据说在四周游荡的妖魔怪。后来，罗马人用果仁和苹果来庆祝的丰收节与凯尔特人的10月31日溶合了。

在中世纪，人们穿上动物造型的服饰、 戴上可怕的面具是想在万圣节前夜驱赶黑夜中的鬼怪。尽管後来基督教代替了凯尔特和罗马的宗教活动，早期的习俗还是保留下来了。现在，孩子们带着开玩笑的心理穿戴上各种服饰和面具参加万圣节舞会，这些舞会四周的墙上往往悬挂着用纸糊的巫婆、 黑猫、 鬼怪和尸骨，窗前和门口则吊着龇牙裂嘴或是面目可憎的南瓜灯笼。孩子们还常常试图咬住悬挂着的苹果。

美国和加拿大的孩子们在这天穿戴上古怪的服饰去按邻居家的门铃，并按传统发出”是款待我还是要我耍花招“的威胁。邻居们不管是否被吓着，总是准备了一些糖果、 苹果等点心，孩子们则一一收入自己的袋内。

万圣节其实不是基督教的节日。2500年前，爱尔兰的凯尔特人(Celts)以10月31日为一年的最後一日，11月1日是新一年的开始，也象徵冬天的来临。

凯尔特人相信死亡之神Samhain在10月31日的晚上会和鬼魂一起重返人间，寻找替身。因此他们燃点火炬，焚烧动物以作为死亡之神的献礼。还会用动物的头或皮毛做成的服饰打扮自己，发出古怪的声音，使死亡之神认不出自己，避过灾难。这就是今天万圣节化妆舞会的由来。过了当晚，鬼魂回到阴间，一切回复平静。

基督教兴起，教徒沿袭万圣节传统，万圣节的意义慢慢改为纪念为献身於神而死亡的人(holies)。

附带一提，11月2日是墨西哥的鬼节(Los Dias de los Muertos, Day of the Dead)。当天家家户户都烘烤动物造型的面包和煮鸡肉等食物，并在供桌上面放置玩具，以期待早逝的孩童们回到家中玩耍。也可以陈列鲜花、 水果、 照片和彩绘的骷髅头，接待仙逝长辈。

墨西哥人认为，鬼魂和人一样需要及时行乐，所以鬼节宛若一场嘉年华会，人们带着面具到处游走，吃骷髅形状的糖，面包上还装饰有鬼的形像。黄昏时刻，全家人一起到墓园清理墓地，妇女们或跪或坐整夜祈祷，男人们交谈或唱歌，在子夜中烛光忽闪忽灭充满了整个墓园，游唱歌者为已逝亡者的灵魂高歌吟唱。

Im Oktober ist Hochsaison für Hexen, Gespenster, Geister und alle, die sich gerne Gruseln, denn am 31. Oktober ist Halloween.

十月是女巫，幽灵，鬼魂和一切让人不寒而栗的东西出现的旺季，因为10月31日是万圣节。

Ursprünglich, vor Hunderten von Jahren, war Halloween ein Herbstfest der Druiden im alten England. Es sei die einzige Nacht des Jahres, so glaubten die Menschen damals, in der Hexen und Geister leibhaftig auf der Erde herumspukten.

起初在几百年前，万圣节在古英格兰对巫师们来说是秋天节。那时人们认为，这一天晚上是一年当中唯一一个女巫和鬼魂真的来到人间到处作祟的夜晚。

Fast jedes Kind weiß, dass Halloween etwas mit Gespenstern, Hexen und Verkleiden zu tun hat, aber kaum jemand hat eine Ahnung, was es mit dem Fest ‚Halloween’ nun wirklich auf sich hat.

几乎每个孩子都知道，万圣节与幽灵，女巫和化装有关，但是几乎没有一个人知道，万圣节这个节日究竟因何而来。

Schon vor über 2000 Jahren feierten die Kelten im alten England (heute sagen wir Großbritannien dazu) zum Ende des Sommers ein großes Fest – damals hieß es noch ‚Samhain’. Der 31. Oktober war bei den Kelten der letzte Tag des Jahres, denn sie hatten einen anderen Kalender als wir heute. Der Sommer wurde mit großen Feuern verabschiedet und gleichzeitig der Winter begrüßt. Die Menschen bedankten sich bei ihrem Sonnengott (mit Namen ‚Samhain’) für die Ernte, die sie in der warmen Jahreszeit eingebracht hatten und gedachten an diesem Tag auch der Seelen der Verstorbenen. Der Sonnengott wurde nun, zu Beginn der dunklen Winterzeit von dem keltischen Gott der Toten, abgelöst.

早在两千多年前，古英格兰(今天的大不列颠)的克勒特人在夏季结束时会进行一场盛大的节日庆祝——那时这个节日叫做“萨温节”。对于克勒特人来说，10月31日是一年的最后一天，因为他们使用的年历与我们今天的不同。人们燃起大火告别夏季，同时欢迎冬季的到来。他们向太阳神(名字为“Samhain”)表示感谢，感谢其赐予的温暖季节带来丰收，同时也在这一天悼念逝者的亡灵。而后太阳神就在阴暗的冬天开始之时被克勒特人的死亡之神所替代。

Die Kelten glaubten fest daran, dass die Seelen der Verstorbenen in der Nacht vom 31. Oktober als Geister auf die Erde zurückkommen, um in ihre Häuser zurückzukehren. Aber was war mit den Geistern und heimatlosen Seelen, die trotz der großen Feuer, die am Wegesrand entfacht wurden, den Weg nicht fanden und verzweifelt umherirrten? Von ihnen war nichts Gutes zu erwarten, sie spukten durch die Nacht, erschreckten friedliche Menschen und trieben ihr Unwesen mit ihnen.

克勒特人坚信，逝者的亡灵在10月31日会变成鬼魂来到人间，回到自己家中。但是那些即使在路边点着旺火却也找不到路而绝望地四处乱走的鬼魂和无家可归的亡灵怎么办呢?别指望他们做什么好事，他们会整晚捣乱作祟，惊吓平和中的人们，到处胡作非为。

Einige Jahrhunderte später, ungefähr 800 Jahre n. Chr., ernannte der Papst den 1. November, also den Tag nach dem 31. Oktober, zum Feiertag ‚Allerheiligen’, an dem der christlichen Märtyrer gedacht wurde. Aus dem Samhain- Fest wurde im Laufe der Zeit ‚das Fest am Vorabend zu Allerheiligen’, und das heißt auf englisch ‚All Hallows’ Evening’ oder abgekürzt ‚Hallows’ E’en’. Inzwischen sagen wir Halloween.

几百年后，大约公元800年的时候，罗马教皇将11月1日，也就是10月31日后一天，作为“万圣”之节，在这一天人们会怀念基督教的烈士。随着时间的推移，英国人根据萨温节就把11月1日的前夜变成了庆祝万圣的节日，而英语里万圣夜称作“All Hallows’ Evening”，简称Hallows’ E’en。渐渐地我们就把万圣节叫做了Halloween。

Obwohl das Samhain-Fest schon so lange her ist, verkleiden sich die Kinder heute noch als gruselige Gestalten, wie Gespenster, Hexen, Zauberer oder Vampire, um Geister abzuschrecken. Und das ist auch gut so – denn wer weiß denn schon genau, ob die Kelten im alten England nicht doch recht hatten......?

虽然萨温节已如此古老，今天的孩子们还会装扮成毛骨悚然的形象，像是幽灵，女巫，男巫或是吸血鬼去吓退鬼魂。不过这样也不错——谁又清楚地知道，古英格兰的克勒特人是不是有道理呢?

This evening we went to Happy Valley, the day it was Halloween.

There is a sea of people, almost everyone with masks, some long teeth, some hair all white, and the lotus flower.

First we went to a small house, each go after the cloth are written on the front of the project. I saw a mummy hopping in front of a horror, and I was scared to close my eyes. Im scared, but I still laugh at those ghosts that look ugly. There is a piece of cloth without writing, we go in, a hand to come over, a look at a person, still walk to the head.

We are going to see a man holding the painted face, with a knife, I see that it is fake. I made a face at him, with a hand on his hand. I saw a few steps back as soon as I saw it.

We went to a butcher branch of a street, but now Im not nervous, also jokingly asked: "boss, how much is it?"......

We saw a doctor and I approached. She had four blood on her face, and she was scary all over with a doll in her hand.

Today I am very high heart, but also improve my courage, one day too fast!
