Dear Mr. Wang,

Hello!

Recently, our class held the "Beautiful Christmas Chorus Competition" activity, I was unable to participate in the school recitation team recording activity, so I feel very sorry.

Remember Monday, you asked the students: "these days there are two festivals - Christmas and New Years Day, which holiday do you want to celebrate? We happen to coincide with the selection of "Christmas", of course, this is also my favorite holiday, it can be seen that we love Christmas in particular. Although, the festival chose my favorite, but when the team leader, not so gratified. You let the students recommend, but for some reason, the students did not choose me. I think, if you can recommend yourself first, then let the students vote on it. Because only let the students recommend or vote, the recommended students may not want to be, while the equivalent students like me, but may not have the opportunity, do you think I said reasonable?

Teacher, in fact, this is a small matter, the most regrettable is not able to spend Christmas with my classmates. How I envied bu Qingyang the other day for his successful participation in the party! Do you know? That afternoon, during the rehearsal of the recitation team, we were absent-minded, dejected and extremely sad.

Teacher, in fact, I understand your work, you are also for our good, I just want to talk with you about my heart.

merry

the chinese spring festival and the western christmas

evely nation has its own folk festivals. Those festivals give people a chance to be away from their regular work and everyday worries to enjoy themselves and to develop kindship and fiiendship. The spring festival is the chief holiday in china while christmas is the most important redletter day in the western world。

the spring festival and christmas have much in common. Both are prepared hefiorehand to create a joyous atmosphere; both offer a family reunion with a square feast: and both satisfy the children with new clothes, lovely presents and delicious food. However, the chinese spring festival has no religious background while christmas has something to do with god and there is santa claus with white heard to bring children presents. The westerners send each other christmas cards for greetings while the chinese people pay a call on each other。

nowadays, some of the chinese youth has begun to celebrate christmas, following the example of the westerners. Perhaps they do so just for fun and out of curiosity。

世界上的运动有很多种，其中我最喜欢的运动是一个需要水的运动叫“游泳”。

游泳前要先换泳装或泳裤，戴泳帽及泳镜，下水前还要做暖身操，做暖身操是为了预防游泳时抽筋，才不会有溺水的情形发生。

我喜欢游泳因为可以除了运动之外又可以玩水，而且夏天泡在冷水里全身凉爽舒畅，满身的暑气，全都消失不见了。如果又喝一杯冰冰凉凉的可乐，那真是一件心旷神怡的事，游泳的那一天晚上特别好睡觉喔。

游泳不但可以消暑，还可以运动强身，是一项令人喜欢的运动，暑假就快到了，真希望妈妈能帮我和妹妹报名参加游泳课，让我游个痛快!

我最喜欢的小动物是小狗，妈妈幼儿园里有一只小狗叫小白，它身上的毛是雪白的，一对水汪汪的眼睛，想两颗明亮的珍珠滚来滚去，很讨人喜欢。

起初它不认识我。有一次，我和妈妈去幼儿园，它对我很凶，差一点就咬到我的腿，还好妈妈叫住了它，第二天，妈妈带去我进去，小白看到我妈妈就摇着尾巴跑来了，妈妈指着我对小白说，，这是自己人，以后不要咬了好不好.它看看我，摇摇尾巴，在我脚上嗅了嗅就走开了，我们就这样认识了，我渐渐地喜欢上了它。

小白对妈妈最亲热，它每看到妈妈都会跑来缠住妈妈的脚汪汪叫，好像在说主人，给点吃的。妈妈说，忘记了，没有给你带。它不愉快的走开了。它对我也很亲热，有一次，它跑到我跟前要吃的，我只好把刚买的鸡腿给了它，它吃的狼吞虎咽，口中还发出呜呜声。它吃完鸡腿，我就逗它玩，它像风一样的跑着，我怎么也追不上，后来，它在草坪上等着和我玩。

这就是我喜欢我的小狗，一个讨人喜欢，尽职尽责的小狗。

圣诞节来啦!我在梦中轻声唤道，美梦中我享受着圣诞的快乐。

家里到处挂满了像星星一般明亮，像水晶一样透明的花形蜡烛。在最醒目的小厅里放着一棵穿着绿珍珠做的“上衣”，再套上一件用丝绸做的“小纱裙”，上面缀着五彩缤纷的九色花、会变色的星星和月亮，永远不化的雪花，摸上去，一点儿也不冷，还热乎乎的呢！这个世界上的东西都变成水晶似的，不时地发出悦耳的声音。

被工作弄得疲惫不堪的大人们，在这一天都和孩子们一起玩耍，在空中飞舞。玩具们都获得了新生命，已经逝世的好人们都回到了从前。

圣诞老人架着美丽无比的驯鹿车给我们送礼，还不时把香甜可口的糖果洒在路过的小道上。我多么希望圣诞老人能送我一本世界上所有人的文章集啊!

圣诞节真有这么快乐就好了！

As for this essay, I want the person who likes travel to read. And, I also want the person who yearns to the solitary journey to read.

I like travel very much. I often go to travel. It meets a lot of people when traveling. It can touch not only the person but also the region. Therefore, it comes to want to go even times how many.

I was traveling and all the people met had a very warm mind. It was very kind. There is a person who taught variety of land, too. I do not think meeting with two another degrees in the person. However, I do not think that I forget. Because, The reason is that there are a lot of very good memories.

Therefore, travel is not stopped. It went to not only the country but also foreign countries. The communication of the intention can have been done with the person in the country though the word did not run well. However, I thought that the handicap of the word was large. I thought it was good if the word could be understood more many times. Therefore, I think that I should study the language study more. It can meet the one different according to the land when traveling. The tourist spot is, and there is a lot of one not so either. There are a lot of very good points of the place taught to the person in local. Therefore, it is always made to speak. I have not traveled still alone. I want to go out to travel alone sometimes. How about you? Traveling with someone is also good. However, I yearn to the solitary journey very much. It is not, and yearns for the destination to free travel. I want to go out to unrestrained travel some time.

Finally, I yearn to the solitary journey. However, I do not hate tour travel. I think that there is a merit also in the tour. I think that traveling with the person who does not know also has the enjoyment. However, I like independent tour more. Which do you like?

it is said that in the year of 300 ad, there was a kind old man and his name was saint nicholas. he was always ready to help the poor and often gave presents to them.

today, father christmas is an imaginary figure, but nearly all young children believe in him. they think he is a happy old man with a long white beard and a long red robe.

on the night of the twenty-fourth of december every year, father christmas from some cold northern land comes down the chimney of the fireplace to put presents by the beds of children or to fill their stockings. so when children go to bed that night, they hang up their stockings, and on christmas morning they wake to find them full of presents. of course, it‘s really their parents who fill the stockings.

another name for father christmas is santa claus.

Many holidays are there in a year, with Chinas traditional holiday, have belong to our festival - the childrens day, May Day, ten first-class legal holiday. But my favorite is not the holiday, but Christmas.

Christmas is a holiday for all Christian countries in the world, commemorates Christ birth festival. Although it is not important to Chinese people, but we can still see Christmas brings to life change. First of all, some stores began with Christmas sales, shop front were filled with Christmas and related commodity: reindeer! Santa Claus toy! Has become a sale of goods, and was deeply loved by consumers. Second, the school also has carried out many Christmas activities, guess what gift, Christmas party, give a person a kind of strong festival atmosphere. Christmas is coming slowly.

I love the atmosphere of Christmas is not only love it, but also want to get their Christmas presents. Every year on Christmas Eve, I sat quietly, eyes staring at the shining stars in the night, the in the mind with hope, hope that his next day could make every dream come true. I remember last Christmas, I want to get a pen wish, result the second day morning, a new pen is in my bed, I was overjoyed, hurriedly to the big news to his mother, ask her what is going on. Can be looked at his mother confused look in the eyes, a mysterious thought crossed my mind, dont Santa Claus really exist?

Yes, in my opinion, Christmas is just such an atmosphere, full of mysterious festival. And it also inspires me cherish the time, but once a year at Christmas. Every time, is also a significant and we are one year older again, in a year. Do you have any harvest. Have what experience. Whats the shortage and progress? We will be more Christmas as a learning meeting, as a Christmas present for a good years encouragement, the blessing as a spur for next year, its not better?

Christmas with me grow up, I love Christmas!

一年有许多的节日,有中国传统节日春节,有属于我们的节日----儿童节,还有五一,十一等法定节假日.不过我最喜欢的不是这些节日,而是圣诞节.

圣诞节是世界上所有基督国家的节日,是为了纪念耶署基督诞生的节日.虽说它并不被中国人所看重,可我们仍然能看到圣诞节给生活带来的变化.首先,一些商家开始用圣诞节作推销,店铺门前摆满了和圣诞有关的商品:驯鹿呀!圣诞老人玩具呀!都成了特卖商品,也深受广大消费者的喜爱.其次,学校里也开展了许多圣诞活动,什么猜礼物,圣诞晚会,给人一种浓郁的节日气氛.圣诞节就这样慢慢地来临了.

我爱圣诞节不是只爱它的氛围,更是想得到自己的圣诞礼物.每年的平安夜,我都会静静地坐在,眼睛凝望着一颗颗在黑夜中闪烁的明星,心里带着期盼,希望自己第二天能够让自己的每梦成真.记得去年圣诞节,我许下想获得一只钢笔的愿望,结果第二天早上,一只崭新的钢笔就出现在我的床头,我喜出望外,赶紧将这个天大的消息告诉了妈妈,问她是怎么回事.可看着妈妈疑惑的眼神,一个神秘的念头闪过我的脑海中难道圣诞老人真的存在吗?

是的,在我看来,圣诞节就是这样一个氛围浓厚,充满神秘的节日.而且它也激励着我珍惜时间,一年只有一次圣诞节.每过一次,也就相当与我们又长大了一岁,一年里.你有什么收获.有什么经验.有什么不足和进步?我们更能将圣诞节当作一次学习的总结会,把圣诞礼物当作对好的一年的鼓励,把祝福当作对明年的鞭策,这不更好吗?

圣诞伴我成长,我爱圣诞节!

Most westerners always celebrate Christmas Day as their major festival， in order to memorialize Jesus.During that time， they always have several days off， so they can enjoy this festival with all their hearts.The children often get together with their friends.The adults are busy with decorating their houses.They also send the postcards with their best wishes to each other. In the streets， there are so many Fathers Christmas sending presents to the passers-by.And everything is on a discount in the supermarkets.Thus the supermarkets are the busiest places.

In the evening， the families usually have pudding， sandwiches， apple pies and some other desserts for dinner.After supper， the families always sing and dance around the Christmas tree.Sometimes， they also go to church.Before going to bed， the children often hang up their stockings beside their bed， so that Father Christmas will fill them with presents.It is said that Father Christmas always drives a deer to the human world and entering into each house from the chimney.Now the children no longer believe in Father Christmas， but they still hang up their stockings， because their parents will fill them with presents.

When I was picking up my stuff after school， I saw a dog staring at me at the school gate .I was kind of scary. I thought the dog would bite me when I was going out. But it was not. The dog started to follow me. I was very afraid. I started to run away， but the dog did it， either. Suddenly， the dog ran pass away me. I realized the man in front of me was the owner of the dog. I was relieved.

From then on， as long as a dog stares at me， I will look back to have a look whether there is another person near or not.

The original Santa Claus, St. Nicholas, was born in the ancient southeastern Turkish town of Lycia early in the fourth century. His generosity was legend, and he was particularly fond of children. We know this primarily through Roman accounts of his patronage of youth, which eventually led to his becoming the patron saint of children. Throughout the Middle Ages, and well beyond, he was referred to by many names none of them Santa Claus.

Children today would not at all recognize the St. Nick who brought gifts to European children hundreds of years ago except perhaps for his cascading white beard. He made his rounds in full red-and-white bishops robes, complete with twin peaked miter and crooked crozier. He was pulled by no fleet footed reindeer, but coaxed in indolent donkey. And he arrived not late on Christmas Eve, but on his Christian feast day, December 6. The gifts he left beside the hearth were usually small: fruit, nuts, hard candies, wood and clay figurines.

During the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century, St. Nicholas was banished from most European countries. Replacing him were more secular figures, who in general were not at center stage at that point in history..The Dutch kept the St. Nicholas tradition alive. As the "protector of sailors," St. Nicholas graced the prow of the first Dutch ship that arrived in America. And the first church built in New York City was named after him. The Dutch brought with them to the New World two Christmas items that were quickly Americanized.

In sixteenth century Holland, children placed wooden shoes by the hearth the night of St. Nicholass arrival. The shoes were filled with straw, a meal for the saints gift laden donkey. In return, Nicholas would insert a small treat into each clog. In America, the shoe was replaced with the stocking, hung by the chimney.

The Dutch spelled St. Nicholas "Saint Nikolass," which in the New World became "Sinterklass". later changed to "Santa Claus".

Much of modern day Santa Claus lore, including the reindeer drawn sleigh, originated in America. Dr. Clement Clarke Moore composed "The Night Before Christmas" in 1822, to read to his children on Christmas Eve. The poem might have remained privately in the Moore family if a friend had not mailed a copy of it (without authorial attribution) to a newspaper and became part of the Santa legend.

It was in America that Santa put on weight. The rosy-cheeked, roly-poly Santa is credited to the influential nineteenth-century cartoonist Thomas Nast. From 1863 until 1886, Nast created a series of Christmas drawings for Harpers Weekly. These drawings, executed over twenty years, exhibit a gradual evolution in Santa from the pudgy, diminutive, elf-like creature of Dr. Moores immortal poem to the bearded, potbellied, life-size bell ringer familiar on street corners across America today. Nasts cartoons also showed the world how Santa spent his entire year constructing toys, checking on childrens behavior, reading their requests for special gifts. His images were incorporated into the Santa lore.

Santa is known throughout the world in many different names, such as:

Saint Nikolaas (Sinter Klaas), from the Dutch Father Christmas, from the English Kris Kringle, from the Germans Befana, from the Italians Bobouschka, from the Russians (a grand motherly figure instead of a male)

圣诞老人的传说在数千年前的斯堪的纳维亚半岛即出现。北欧神话中司智慧，艺术，诗词，战争的奥丁神，寒冬时节，骑上他那八脚马坐骑驰骋于天涯海角，惩恶扬善，分发礼物。与此同时，其子雷神着红衣以闪电为武器与冰雪诸神昏天黑地恶战一场，最终战胜寒冷。据异教传说，圣诞老人为奥丁神后裔。也有传说称圣诞老人由圣·尼古拉而来，所以圣诞老人也称St.Nicholas.因这些故事大多弘扬基督精神，其出处，故事情节大多被淡忘，然而圣诞老人却永驻人们精神世界。

每年圣诞日，圣诞老人骑在白羊星座上，圣童手持圣诞树降临人间，随着世事变迁，作家和艺术家开始把圣诞老人描述成我们今日熟悉的着红装，留白胡子的形象。同时不同的国度和文化对圣诞老人也有了不同的解释。在德国，传说他扮成圣童把坚果和苹果放在孩子们鞋里。他乘双轮马车四处漫游，观察人们的行为，尤其是小孩，如果表现好，将会得到苹果、坚果、糖等诸多奖品。坏孩子则得一鞭子。家长们灵机一动纷纷采用此传说来鼓励孩子们听话。大大超过了新年，成为一个全民的节日。圣诞老人已经成为圣诞节最受喜爱的象征和传统。他赶 着驯鹿，拉着装满玩具和礼物的雪橇挨家挨户给每个孩子送礼物的快乐老精灵的形象已深深地留在人们的记忆中。

11世纪末来自意大利的宗教士兵将Nicholas圣人的遗物带回意大利，并在港口城市Bari建造了一座教堂来纪念他。很快世界各地的基督教徒纷至沓来朝圣这位圣人。这些朝圣者将圣人Nicholas的故事带回他们的本土，所以有关圣诞老人的传说在各个国家都各具特色。

12世纪欧洲出现了圣人Nicholas纪念日，以互赠礼物和慈善活动为主。德国、法国、荷兰则将12月6日作为宗教纪念日，给孩子和穷人们赠送礼物。

荷兰殖民者来到美洲时，将他们的Sintirklass主教也带了去，Sintirklass身着红袈裟，骑着一匹白马。Sintirklass的美国形象后来逐渐演变成一个快乐的老精灵。起初美国作家华盛顿.欧文在他的喜剧《纽约的历史》中将他描述成一个又圆又胖的荷兰老人。1823年，诗人Clement Moore在他的诗歌《St.Nicholas印象》中继续将Sintirklass/Saint Nicholas的形象戏剧化，这就是各位在本篇开头看到的圣诞老人。

19世纪60年代卡通制作者Thomas Nash画了一幅胖胖的、慈祥的圣诞老人作为《Harper的一周》的插图。这个圣诞老人的形象开始深深地扎根于美国人民的脑海中。随着时间的推移，圣诞老人的形象传回欧洲，传到南美洲，传遍世界各地。

许多国家都保存了他们自己有关圣诞老人的风俗和传说。在荷兰的传说中，圣诞老人Sintirklass还带了一个叫Black Peter的助手，乘着一艘船于12月6日来到。他带着一本大书，书中描述了所有荷兰小孩在过去一年中的表现。表现好的小孩就送礼物给他们，不好的小孩便让他的助手带走。

德国的圣诞老人也带着一个叫做Knecht Ruprecht、Krampus或Pelzebock的助手，肩上背着个装着礼物的大袋子，手上拿着一根棍子。好孩子可收到他的礼物，顽皮的孩子却要给教训几棍子。

意大利的圣诞老人叫La Befana ;法国的圣诞老人叫Father Christmas或Pere Noel ;瑞士的圣诞老人叫Christkindl或Christ Child;斯勘的纳维亚地区的圣诞人叫julenisse 或 juletomte ;而英国的圣诞老人和法国一样也叫Father Christmas(圣诞之父)，他的形象比其它圣诞老人更庄严，更清瘦一些。北美的圣诞老人便是乘着驯鹿拉的雪橇来给孩子们送礼物的。

"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells..." Christmas day coming, quick make to wish, Santa Claus will help you achieve.

On this day, Santa Claus driving elk flying over the sky, he dont have a drivers license, also do not need a drivers license; Heaven no lights, because if there is a traffic light, gifts will delay time.

Have you ever put your own socks hanging in the window or on the wall? If you didnt hang up, please immediately put the socks hang up immediately, but remember, dont hang a smelly socks, decades without washing. , in this case, the second day you will find in your next to the socks, there will be a faint in the ground, before you go past a look, originally you mother.

Ah!!!!! Of course we know, there is no Santa Claus time, if you have, it is only your family. Have little desire, family will help you achieve, with great desire and could realize, you work hard, come on.

“叮叮当、叮叮当，铃儿响叮当……”圣诞节到啦，快许给愿吧，圣诞老人会帮你实现的。

这一天，圣诞老人驾驶着麋鹿从天上飞过，他没有驾驶证，也不需要驾驶证;天上更没有红绿灯，因为如果有了红绿灯，就会耽误送礼物的时间。

你有没有把你自己的袜子挂在窗户或墙上呢?如果没挂好，就请赶紧立刻马上把袜子挂好，不过千万记住——不要挂臭的、几十年没有洗的袜。，这样的话，第二天你会发现在你袜子的旁边，会有一个昏倒在地的人，你走前过去一看，原来你的妈妈。

啊!!我们当然知道，时间上根本没有圣诞老人，如果有，那也只是你的家人。有小愿望的，家人会帮你实现，有大愿望而可能会实现的，那么你就努力吧，加油。
