我今天起的很早，为了等待那传说中的日全食。为什么是传说中呢？因为没亲眼见过嘛。

不过从早上7：30就开始下雨，害我郁闷了半天。还好刚刚在网上看了新闻专家说阴雨天看日

全食会更震撼，好像是因为本来云层很厚，再加上日全食天空会更加的黑暗。

We are living in a society where people help each other in many ways. Not only does helping good for people, it is also good for our society.

Helping each other does good for people in different ways. Nobody can survive or live a better life without having other peoples help in our society. On the other hand, helping each other can help the progress of our society. Human labour is a good example.

Last but not least, helping each other does good for people and the society where they are living in!

The Dragon Boat Festival, must not not include dumplings! Today, my sister is teaching me the dumplings! You see.

Make zongzi must be prepared. My sister was ready to soak for three hours of glutinous rice and bought the leaves, which surprised me.

I put my rice in the leaves, and I was all over the table, and I was angry. My sister said to me, "you want to make a triangular shape of the leaf and put the rice in it!"

So I did what my sister said, and pressed it on the rice. Whats in the middle of that dish? It was minced meat! I dug a small hole in the middle of the glutinous rice and made it into a round shape, stuffing it into glutinous rice and adding it to the glutinous rice. How can you seal it? I looked at my sister and knew everything.

I pressed down one of the warped leaves and pressed the rope hard. Success! I covered a lot of them in the previous method. Now its time to get the pot down, boil the water first, and then put the dumplings on.

After a while, the dumplings were cooked. The four of you sat at the table and ate the dumplings.

过端午节，一定少不了粽子!今天，姐姐就在教我包粽子呢!你瞧。

做粽子一定要有准备的。原来，姐姐已准备好浸泡了3个小时的糯米，同时也买好了粽叶，这样准备就让我大吃一惊了。

我把米放在叶子里，可米全撒在了桌上，我生气极了。姐姐对我说：“你要把叶子做成一个三角形的样子，然后再把米放进去啊!”

于是，我按照姐姐说的步骤作了一遍，在米上按了按，咦?旁边那个盘子中间放的是什么?原来是肉馅哦!我在糯米中间挖了一个小洞洞，把肉馅弄成圆状，塞入糯米中，让它也加入糯米的行列中。可怎么封好呢?我看了眼姐姐，就明白了一切。

我把翘起来的一片叶子按下来，并用绳子用力的扎紧。成功啦!我按照前面的方法，包了好多个。现在就要下锅了，先是把水烧开，然后把粽子放下去。

过了一会儿，粽子煮好了。大家四人坐在桌子旁，吃起了粽子。

我把绳子解开，正想把叶子摘掉，可我一碰，就被烫着了。姐姐看了，哈哈的笑了起来。我吹着吹着，把让热气吹走了。我再次小心翼翼的将叶子掀开，吃起了自己亲手做的香喷喷的粽子来——白白胖胖的糯米中间，包着一团鲜汁可口的肉馅，放入口中，不油不腻，又有嚼劲，感觉太好了!

端午节就这么过去了，嘴里吃着自己亲手包的粽子，心里想着我国唐代诗人杜甫写的诗：宫衣亦有名，端午被恩荣。细葛含风软，香罗叠雪轻。自天题处湿，当暑着来清。意内称长短，终身荷圣情。

这真是一个快乐的端午节!

我天天生活在学校里，每一天都在感受着酸甜苦辣，有快乐、有悲伤，有泪水，但是有一节课让我最难忘。

那是一天上午的一节语文课，同学们在下面安安静静的写着老师留的作业，老师在上面给我们批作业。突然，门“吱”的一声开了，是别班的老师来了，他小声对我们老师说了几句话，老师就和他出去了。教室开始还安静，后来声音慢慢大了，有的同学下地扭起屁股，有的同学向天棚扔橡皮，有的同学还相互打纸团，有的同学还大声喊叫……这时老师一个猛冲闯进教室，跳上讲台，“啪”的一声，老师把尺子打在讲桌上，尺子立刻断成了两截。老师又把几个闹得最欢的同学叫到讲台，狠狠地批评一通。后来一上语文课没有谁敢出声了。

这节课是我们最难忘的一节课。

今天是 五月初五

——端午节，也就是人们常说的重五。我问爷爷：“端午节是怎么来的?”爷爷说：“端午节是为了纪念我国古代的爱国人士屈原而来的。当时屈原还是楚国的朝廷命官，但是小人当道，朝廷昏庸。屈原不愿亲眼见着国家的覆没，就怀抱石头，投进了汨罗江。楚国的百姓闻讯后，纷纷划船营救。从此，便有了端午节的说法。

Today is the fifth day of May -- the Dragon Boat Festival, it is often said

that the weight of five. I asked grandpa: "the Dragon Boat Festival is how

come?" Grandpa said: "the Dragon Boat Festival is in memory of the ancient

Chinese patriot Qu Yuan. When Qu Yuan was in court officials, but the villains

in power, and the court. Qu Yuan did not want to see a country annihilated, arms

stone, cast into the Miluo river. The people in the state after hearing the

news, their boat rescue. From then on, there will be the festival of the Dragon

Boat Festival.

“世杰，过来。”这时，妈妈下令了。我走进厨房问：“妈妈，干什么?”“包粽子啊!”妈妈说。“这活儿，我哪行啊?”我难为情的说。妈妈说：“让你包，你就包，有妈妈这个老师在呢!”我答应着：“好吧!”我拿起竹叶，学着妈妈的样子，把竹叶卷成筒状，再用小勺挖米装进筒里，用竹叶把馅儿包好，用彩线捆起来。我和妈妈合伙把粽子包完了，然后就上锅蒸。不久粽子出锅了，吃着自己亲手包的粽子，心里比吃了蜜还甜。

"Shijie,." At this time, the mother ordered. I went to the kitchen and

asked, "Mom, what do you do?" "wrap the rice dumplings!" mom said.. "This work,

which I do?" I said. Mother said: let your bag, you pack, mother the teacher in!

"I promised:" OK! "I pick up the bamboo leaves, study like a mother, bamboo

rolled into a cylindrical shape, and then a small spoon dig meters installed in

the cylinder, wrap the dumplings with bamboo, tied with colored thread. My

mother and I have a partnership to wrap up the rice dumplings, and then we have

to steam it.. Soon the rice dumplings out of the pot, eating the dumplings

wrapped in their own hands, heart than eating honey sweet.

我喜欢过端午节，更喜欢包粽子、吃粽子。

I like the Dragon Boat Festival, but also like to wrap the rice dumplings,

eat rice dumplings.

上课了，老师一本正经地走进教室，清了清嗓子，说：同学们，今天我们上一节语文活动课。同学们听到这句话，顿时活跃起来，首先看动作猜一个成语。话音刚落，老师剥开了一个拳头大小的桔子吃了起来，我们就这样眼睁睁地看着老师把桔子独吞了，吃完桔子后，老师叫我们猜这是什么成语。有一位同学说：一毛不拔，老师说有些接近，再猜一猜，又有一位同学说：自食其果，老师说：：对啦，我们再猜一个字谜，这个字谜你们肯定要三天才能猜到，‘九横六竖’猜一猜吧！全班同学都没抓耳挠腮、紧皱眉头，有的说曹，有的说田，我在纸上写了好多字，突然想到了晶字，我大声喊了出来。老师说：对了！‘晶’字有3个日所以老师说3天才能猜出来，‘晶’有九横六竖。全班同学豁然开朗、恍然大悟。老师又说：接下来，我们再来猜一个脑筋急转弯吧！新买来的袜子，为什么上面有两个洞？这个问题太无聊、太简单了吧！同学们都举起手来，老师叫了一位同学起来回答，那个同学说：如果没有两个洞你怎么穿呀！全班顿时哄堂大笑。

嘿，这节课真是上得津津有味吧！

There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

一年有四个季节，初天、夏天、秋天和冬天

In spring, the weather gradually gets warmer and everything comes back to lfie. The peasants are busy with sowing.

春天，气候慢慢的变暖和，万物苏醒。农民们都忙于播种。

When the summer comes, the weather becomes very hot. It rains frequently and causes many floods.

Autumn is the best season all the year round. The weather is neither too hot nor too cold. The sky is blue and cloudness. At night, millions of stars can be seen in th sky. It’s also a busy season for peasants to harvest.

秋天是全年中最好的季节。气候既不是太热也不是太冷。天空是蓝的和不透明的。晚上，可以看到天空上数以万计的星星。这也是一个忙碌的季节，因为农民们要收割庄稼了。

Winter is the last season of the year. Days become shorter and nights longer. The weather is cold and windy. In winter, leaves fall from trees and everything seems to fall into a deep sleep to prepare for the next spring.

冬天是一年当中最后的一个季节。白天变短而晚上却变长了。冬天天气很冷还刮着风。树叶从树上落下来，万物似乎都要进入冬眠来为下一个春天做准备。

My favorite festival is Christmas Day. It’s not the trditional for Chinese. It’s for the foreigners, which Christmas Day is to them what Spring Festival is us. But with the development of the society, more and more foreigners come to China. And then it is popular in China. I feel excited to see the Cristmas decoration and Christmas trees. I also like Santa Claus, who will give Christmas present for us under the table. And people will say ”Merry Cristmas” to each other on that day. It is wonderful to have a foreign festival.

我最喜欢的节日是圣诞节。它不是中国的传统节日。是外国的。圣诞节对于他们来说就像是春节对于我们一样。随着社会的发展，越来越多的外国人来到 中国。之后圣诞节在中国也流行起来了。看到圣诞装饰和圣诞树我会感到很兴奋。我也喜欢圣诞老人，他会悄悄的给我们圣诞礼物。在那一天人们会互相说圣诞快乐来打招呼。过一个国外的节日真的很美妙。

上课铃响了，该上体育课了，老师让我们去操场玩游戏，到了操场，老师说：“游戏规则是：围成一个大圈，中间有三人，有三个足球，给三个同学，这三个同学，向中间的三人扔球，谁被击中了，谁下场，球被谁捡到了，谁就扔。”我们就按要求去做，一切准备就绪，三个同学对准里面的三个人，从不同方向往里扔球，里面的三人，一躲躲开了第一轮攻击，可是后面接到球的同学，又扔回来了，三个人一没留神，被球击中。下一轮是我和栾贵鑫、门子涵，周围的人又扔球了，我很怕，但球都向我扔，可是，怕什么来什么，球又向我扔来，我眼急手快身子一歪，球贴着身子过去了。

跑了和尚，跑不了庙，我躲过去了，栾贵鑫没躲过去，球击中栾贵鑫的腿上了，栾贵鑫下场了，我和门子涵在圈里和他们周旋，没过一会，门子涵被击中下场了，就剩我一个人了，我暗自高兴，我正在高兴时，有人神不知鬼不觉的向我扔了一球，我正在高兴劲上被击中了，我气乎乎下了场，我明白了个道理：人不能自大。

下面球改成了沙包，我更害怕了，因为球速度慢，有时间躲闪，可是沙包这鬼东西速度太快，没时间躲闪。里面的人没用多长时间就换了好几拨人，该我和门子涵、张荣坤。我们刚进去，所有的沙包都向我扔来，我刚躲过前面的沙包后面又来了，真是明枪易躲暗箭难防，我还不知道什么东西来了，我就一愣，说时快，那时快，我的后脑勺被沙包击中了。我一看，原来是田一翔扔的。

我下场后决定报复，下一轮是马海峰、王琳琳、田一翔，开始了，马海峰被击中，沙包落在我这了，我捡起来，对准田一翔就扔，结果偏了，没打中，又来一个沙包，我对准田一翔脖子就扔，结果正好打到田一翔的脖子上。就在这时候，下课铃响了。

[快乐的课堂小学五年级作文

英语字母教学作为英语学习的基础，是小学英语教学中重要一环，这一阶段的教学，教师应给予足够的重视，通过各种教学组织形式使这一阶段的学习得以很好的落实。学好26个字母对以后单词的学习起着至关重要的作用。因此，在学习字母阶段，我们要利用一切可利用的资源，创设情境，让学生和字母交朋友、做游戏。

一、字母读音教学

1. 注重示范发音的正确性

字母发音直接影响着学生单词的发音，而且学生错误的发音一旦形成就很难再纠正。因此教师在教学字母之前一定要多听录音，纠正好自己的发音。在课堂教学中教师要让学生听磁带跟读，观察他们的口形，并鼓励模仿得好的学生示范领读，帮助其他同学纠正发音。

2. 把握学生的发音难点

受各地方方言的影响，学生对字母的发音往往会出错。比如：南方人容易把A读成/e/。因此，教师要把握好学生方言发音难点，预先采取各种教学方法防止错误发音的出现。

3. 强化个别字母教学

尽管许多学生对字母有了一定程度的掌握，但大多数学生都没有进行过系统的字母学习，中间难免存在着许多似是而非的现象。例如学生对GgJj两个字母的读音容易混淆，对Uu和Ii这两个字母的发音不到位。教师在教学中应针对这种情况加强这几个字母的训练。

4. 注重读音归类教学

把字母按读音进行分类是字母读音教学的一个重要任务，也是学生觉得有一定难度的一项内容。为了使学生能更好得掌握，教师可采用分家游戏的方法，按家族将26个字母进行分类记忆。首先将字母划分为七个家族，再对号入座，最终编成一首音素家族chant 帮助学生记忆：

A、H、J、K 是A 家族，A，A是族长。

E的家族有八位，BCDE，GPTV，E，E是族长。

/e/ 的家族没有族长，它的成员有七位，FLMN，SX 和Z。

U 的家族有三位，UQW，U，U是族长。

I 的家族有两位，IY，I，I是族长。(手势指着自己)

R 和O单独住，它们自己是族长。

5. 注重语音暗线的铺垫

在三年级下册学生用书中，字母读音和字母例词的安排是一条语音暗线，教师教学时要努力让学生掌握字母的正确读音，并初步感知字母在例词中的读音，为以后学习语音奠定基础。比如讲到字母Ee时，例词是egg，elepghant，教师可突出字母E的发音。英语有48个国际音标，如果学生能在学习 26个字母的同时掌握与此相关的26个音素，将会为以后的语音学习打好基础。

二、字母书写教学

字母的书写过程要一步步进行：先观察性状，再观察笔顺、占格情况，然后书空，使用活动手册进行描红，最后达到仿写。

1. 字母认读的教学

字母的书写首先要求学生能正确区分一些形近的字母。有些字母可以通过猜谜的方法让学生记住它们的形状特点。例如：弯弯的月牙(C)、一条小蛇 (S)、三叉路口(T)、1加3(B)、一座宝塔(A)、胜利的象征(V)、大号鱼钩(J)、一张弓(D)、一扇小门(n)、一棵小苗(r)、一把椅子 (h)。这些谜语既能让学生记住字母的形，又能激发学生的学习兴趣。同时，还可以让学生自编谜语学习字母，充分发挥学生的想象能力。另外，还可以将字母的一部份遮住，让学生根据漏出来部分来猜字母。

2. 字母书写的教学

字母的书写是小学生的一个薄弱环节。小学的英语书写一定要求学生做到严格遵照书写规范，教师绝对不能马虎。因为英语字母有印刷体和书写体之分，所以容易使学生在书写时发生混淆，教师在教学时应多在这方面进行强调。

(1)笔顺教学

教师要充分利用多媒体设施让学生仔细观察字母的笔画和笔顺。正确的笔顺在活动手册的描红练习中有正确的示范。但有时学生会受到汉语拼音笔顺的影响，错误书写字母，因此教师要对容易出错的笔顺进行比较细致的指导。如i和j都是后加点，t先写钩，H先两竖等。建议教师不妨采用汉语拼音的教法，使用一些形象的比喻，帮助学生理解记忆书写规则，防止笔画出错。比如：H是一双筷子拴根线，j是海豹顶皮球，i是小海狮头上顶个球，t是伞把带开关等。

(2)格式教学

字母的占格同样是字母书写教学中的一个教学难点，尤其是当字母的大小写混在一起的时候，学生很容易混淆。这样，教师要先清楚示范，提醒学生注意并总结字母占格的规律。同时，教师还可以借助儿歌帮助学生掌握字母的占格规律。如：英语书写，四线三格，大写字母一二格，上不顶线是原则;小写字母认准格，上面有 ‘辫’一二格，下面有‘尾’二三格，无‘辫’无‘尾’中间格;i，t中上一格半。在学生掌握了字母的占格规律后，还要通过活动手册上的描红来加强练习。这里要注意的是，到一定阶段的时候，教师要让学生能在没有四线格的一条线上，甚至是没有任何线的白纸上也能正确地表示出字母的书写格式。

三、操练

字母操练我们还可以采用游戏的形式。

1. What’s missing?游戏

学了几个字母以后，把字母卡片放在一起让学生认读，然后抽去其中的一张，让学生寻找：What’s missing?此时，学生注意力高度集中，急于表现自己，识记的效果就会很好。

2. 左邻右舍游戏

学生准备好已经学过的字母卡片，教师出示一个字母，让学生找出它的左邻右舍，请找到的几个学生快速把字母拿到讲台上站在相应的位置上，其余的学生一起认读这几个字母。

3. Make letters游戏

让学生用肢体动作表示不同的字母，或让学生用火柴棒拼出不同字母的形状。

The shortage of housing is one of the most serious problems facing many big

cities in China. Though the government has spent a large sum of money on

housing,the investment has not been very resultful and a housing shortage still

exists. Two generations sharing one room and newlymarried couples finding it

difficult to have a house of their own are still common cases. Housing shortage

is a problem that requires an immediate solution.

Peoples attitudes towards the solution to the housing problem are

different. Some suggest building more tall apartment buildings; others believe

that we should develop underground housing areas. I am in favour of the former

opinion. For one thing, it is cheaper to build upward than downward. For

another, living underground for a long time will do harm to peoples health.

Above all,people are unwilling to live underground with artificial lighting and

they prefer to live normally on the ground to enjoy the sunshine.

Although there may be some other ways to solve the housing shortage

problem, I believe to build more apartment buildings is one of the feasible

solutions to the housing problem.

我们整天在学校里学习，校园的青松树仿佛是一本色彩斑斓的画册，记载着我们的故事，使我们的生活变得丰富多彩。然而，当你走进大自然时，也许你会发现，校外的课堂一样精彩。

生活处处皆课堂。就连最简单的买早饭也涉及了数学题。对我来说，大自然是最好的课堂。含羞草为什么会闭叶？树的高度是它影长几倍？什么植物喜欢在荫凉下？什么植物喜欢干燥？怎么捕鱼？这些看似很难的问题，大自然中解起来却非常简单、方便。

有一次，我去树林里捕螳螂，捉了几只螳螂后，我突然想到了一些问题：螳螂的呼吸器官在哪儿？母螳螂真的会吃公螳螂吗？于是，我决定做一个实验：我用夹子轻轻夹住一只螳螂，把它的头部放进水里，本等着它张牙舞爪，，可它却没有什么反应，难道它的呼吸器官不在头上？或者我做实验前它已经死了？可它刚刚还生龙活虎的啊？我不敢确定，又把它的腹部放进水里，这下它又是蹬腿又是伸手的，我耐心地等它不再折腾后，拿出来一看，它已经死了。原来它的呼吸器官是它腹部的那两个小红点啊！

接下来该做另一项实验了。我抓住了一只公螳螂和睦螳螂，跑回家去，找出一个玻璃杯，里面放点食物，再把公、母螳螂放进去，倒扣在桌上，上面还压了一本书，隔了一夜，我兴致勃勃地看，果然不出所料，食物不见了，公螳螂也不见了，只有母螳螂在悠闲的散步，原来母螳螂吃掉公螳螂才会怀产是真的啊，我恍然大悟。

生活处处皆课堂。知识就在我们身边。只要你用心，就会发现，校外的课堂一样精彩。
