端午节的高一英语作文（汇编20篇）

Many animals are in danger of dying out. As is shown in the chart, we can

see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will

continue. From 1980 to 2010, at least 1 million animal species have disappeared.

Worse still, more and more wild animals are in great danger. It is not a piece

of sensational news; it is a fact, a harsh reality. Unfortunately, we may not

see these animals in the near future.

From the second picture, we can find some reasons. Why is the number of

animal species declining year by year? Apparently animals have become victims of

fashion industry. Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and

these clothes sell at a high price. So some greedy people begin to kill animals

in a large quantity. This irresponsible behavior not only breaks the balance of

nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings.

As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal

action. We believe "no buying, no killing". First, we must make concerning laws

to protect these animals in danger. Second, we must take some measures to

protect animals effectively. Animals are our friends and part of our

environment. Third, we should raise peoples awareness to protect animals and

our environment. In this way, we can build a harmonious society and ensure a

sustainable development.

This morning,as we all know,this is a special day___our Chinese national festival.so we go out of home, and began to preper for somthing for the day.

有一首歌谣这样唱“粽子香，香厨房。艾叶香，香满堂。桃枝插在大门上，出门一望麦儿黄。这儿端阳，那儿端阳，处处端阳处处祥。桃儿红，杏儿黄。粽子香，包五粮。剥个粽子裹上糖，幸福生活万年长。这儿划舟，那儿划舟，龙舟下水喜洋洋”。唱的正是中华民族的传统节日——端午节。

又是一年五月五，全国各地的人民都在热烈庆祝端午节。要问端午节给我留下最深的印象是什么?那便是每年的这个时候，妈妈都会在家里做很多香甜的粽子。看妈妈包粽子，那可真叫一种享受。只见她左手拿起一片粽叶，迅速地卷成漏斗状，右手抓一把泡好的糯米塞进粽叶，再用粽叶紧紧裹住糯米，最后用线把粽子固定扎紧。不大一会儿功夫，碧绿的粽叶、雪白的糯米，摇身一变就成了一个饱满的粽子。我望着排成一排的粽子，真是“口水流下三千尺”。接下来便是煮粽子了，开水咕嘟咕嘟冒泡后，把粽子下锅煮一个小时左右就可以吃了。粽子出锅之后，剥开一层又一层的粽叶，露出一角棕色的糯米，咬上一口，淡淡的粽香便在嘴里漾开。

以前我只知道端午节要吃粽子，却不知道其中的缘由。今年的端午节，我总算明白了。妈妈告诉我，传说端午节是为了纪念战国时期的楚国诗人屈原。屈原忧国忧民，深受人民爱戴。但却遭人陷害被赶出都城，流放在外。他在流放期间还是创作了很多不朽的诗篇，比如《离骚》、《天问》、《九歌》等等。后来，秦军攻破了楚国。屈原眼看着自己的祖国被侵略却无能为力，他在五月初五这天抱石投汨罗江以殉国，用自己的生命谱写了一曲壮丽的爱国主义乐章。

屈原死后，人们怀念他、崇敬他。每到端午节人们便把食物用苇叶包起来，投入江中，作为敬献给他的祭品。每年的五月初五，就有了吃粽子的风俗，以此来纪念爱国诗人屈原。

虽然这个传说有些神化，但是千百年来屈原一直被人们祭奠，他的诗句“路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索”广为传诵，着实令人景仰。

又到端午，又闻粽香，又祭屈原。

说起端午节，有谁不知道呢?据说端午节的由来是：爱国诗人屈原，在国家战败后，不愿苟且偷生，投江自尽。他的行为感动了许许多多的老百姓。那些善良的人们，担心屈原的肉体被鱼虾啃咬，就撒了一些菜肉在河里，让鱼虾只吃菜肉，不吃屈原的肉体。日子久了，人们为了方便，就把饭和肉包在一起。于是就有了今天的粽子。

端午节这天，家家户户都要包粽子。一个个鼓鼓的粽子，散发出诱人的香味，使人闻了就垂涎三尺。在我的家乡，除了包粽子，还有一个习俗——赶集市。这集市，与普通的集市不同。它是在山林中的一大片草地上赶。这一天，人们非常高兴，想怎么玩就怎么玩。在山林中，有拍民族特色照的;有投球夺取小玩具的;有投篮球夺奖品的;有射飞镖赢礼物的;有用沙包打玩具小狗、小猫的……

在这片空地上，到处都洋溢着欢声笑语，集市高潮时，那可谓是人山人海。在专用的一片地盘上，青年们，老人们都上面唱山歌，一个对一个，相当激烈，遇到声音特别好的，观众的掌声震耳欲聋，惊天动地。

端午节这天，除了去赶集，还有一种迷信的说法，这一天上山去采的草药用了非常好。去年的端午节，奶奶让我陪她去，虽然我不迷信，但出于好奇也跟着去了。到山上后，那里的景色非常美丽壮观，绿油油的树木，宽阔的草地，让人心旷神怡，真想高歌一曲。草丛中，不时显现老人们采药的身影。

好不容易才熬过了找草药的时光，端午节又赶到了末端，但并不冷清，反而很热闹，小伙伴们捧着家里包的粽子，比较谁家的好吃，吵吵嚷嚷的声音打破了傍晚的寂静。

端午节真是一个有趣的节日，特别是我们家乡的习俗。希望今年的端午节快点儿到来，我们都有点儿迫不及待了

The cold air has come for a while, I stayed at my house all the time, as there was nothing for me go do, I watched the movies. When I saw the beach and sunshine in the movie, I miss the sunshine so much. Today is lucky for me, the sun finally comes out, I decide to go out for a walk and take in the fresh air. The breeze blows me softly, I can sense the coming of spring, I walk into a coffee shop and choose a table which is near the window. I sit down and watch people just walk by, I see all kinds of face expressions, I try to read them. There is a girl who is talking to his boyfriend, maybe he is proposing her, I can see from the girl’s sweet smile. There is another man sitting alone, may he is waiting for his wife. I have a great time in the bright afternoon.

冷空气来了有一阵子了，我整天呆在屋子里，由于没有事情做，我看了很多电影。当我在电影中看到海滩和阳光，我很想念阳光。今天我很幸运，太阳终于出来了，我决定外出走在，呼吸新鲜的空气。威风轻轻吹过我，我可以感觉得到春天的到来，我走进一家咖啡店，选了一张靠窗的桌子。我坐了下来，看着人们经过，我看到了各种各样的表情，我尝试着去解读。有一个女孩正在和他的男朋友聊天，也许他正在向她求婚，我从女孩甜蜜的微笑中就可以看出来。另外一个男人独自坐着，也许他正在等待他的妻子。我在明媚的午后度过了愉快的时光。

this morning i got up early and went to the market to buy some vegetables

instead my mother for the first time.

with the sellers. a man was selling fresh fish, which were swimming in a big

basin, and a lot of buyers crowded around it and chose what they wanted. one

fruit seller, standing behind piles of fresh fruit, greeted me warmly, trying to

端午节在每年的五月初五，又称端阳节、重五节、天中节、女儿节等”我的家乡在过端午节时是要吃粽子，戴香包、插艾草、绑五彩绳……

在端午节的前几天，每家每户的人们都会在街道购买粽叶、糯米、红枣、香包等端午节必备品。在端午节那一天，我们提前买的一些香包等小玩意儿都会戴在身上。小孩子的脖子，手腕或脚踝上都要系由红、蓝、白、黄、绿这几种丝线做成的五彩绳。人们还会将艾草放在窗台或门口，据说可以起到祈福辟邪的作用。然后我们就可以享用美味的粽子了。粽子虽然好吃，可包起来却不是那么的容易。这可是我亲自体验到的。去年在端午节时，我看妈妈包粽子包的那么轻松，所以我也想试试包粽子的感觉，而且吃自己亲手包的粽子，也是很有成就感的一件事。于是我就去找妈妈，让她教我。刚开始妈妈觉得我学不会，就不答应。可我自信满满的告诉她：“包粽子这么简单的事，我肯定一学就会的。”说完还有些骄傲的扬了扬头。看着我这个样子，妈妈答应了。

我学着妈妈先拿出了三片粽叶，做成了一个锥形，然后再将勺子里面的糯米倒了进去。这一切都很顺利，我忍不住在嘴上说了句：“也不是很难吗。”心里也在想：这么简单，我一定会学会的。接下来就开始包了，当我把粽叶折下来时糯米就哗哗的从两边露了下来，像两条白色的瀑布似的。一瞬间我的脸就红了下来。见我过样，妈妈把我手中的失败品拿走，又给了我三片粽叶，而我的失败品，妈妈则把它重新包好了。我看了看手中的粽叶，继续包，结果瀑布又流了下来。就这样一而再，再而三的练习。我终于包出了一个还算好看的粽子，放入锅中蒸。蒸好出锅后，我一眼就看见了我的粽子，因为我的粽子中的糯米露了出来。

家乡的端午节虽不如春节那般热闹，但它给我带来了许多的欢乐，留下了许多美好的回忆，好期待下一个端午节的到来。

A survey about smokers in a middle school tells that although 90% of all students never smoke, 3% of them often smoke and 7% sometimes do. In other words, 10% of the students smoke. That s terrible.

As we know, smoking is harmful to our health. Every year, thousands of people lose their lives because of it. Smoking not only does harm to your health, but also wastes money. Because, a fire may be caused by cigarette ends. It s a pity to learn that one ends in death by smoking.

In all, smoking is so dangerous that we should keep away from it.

My home village is a beautiful village far from the town. There is a clear brook arcs around the village, making the vil]age like a peninsula.

我的家乡是一个远离城镇的美丽村庄，有一条清澈的小河弧形环绕着，看起来像一个半岛。

On one side of the brook, are farmlands stretching as far as the eyes can see with farmers busy in the fields. The sunshines brightly through the pure, fresh air. After dark, I liked to roam around the fields along footpaths. The feeling was excellent.

从小河畔望去，你会看到农民们在无垠的田地里忙碌的身影，明亮的阳光透过纯净的、清新的空气射过来。黄昏，我喜欢沿着田间小道漫步，那种感觉真是妙极了。

On the other side of the brook, there are many trees. There are lots of green bamboo groves. The trees offer nice shade in the summer, and birds like singing in them. The bamboos sway gently in the fresh summer breeze. The brook runs calmly anti quietly through all this greenness, making a very nice picture.

Since I went to high school, I have had many annoyances.

On the one hand, I am under great pressure on my study. I need to take the exams every month. Once I am falling behind other students, I will feel that I am not doing well. I always want to be the best, but things can’t go on my way. On the other hand, I don’t want to talk to my parents, if they ask me the questions, I will answer them with few words. I think they won’t understand me, so I am not willing to communicate with my parents.

I know I am in the adolescence, my body grows fast, changes happen on me, and my emotion is unstable. So I need to learn to adjust myself and get used to these changes. I need to open my heart and have less pressure.

打从我上高中起，我就有很多烦恼。

一方面，我在学习方面面临很大的压力，我每个月都要参加很多的开始，一旦比别的学生落后，我就会觉得我做得不好。我总是想要成为第一名，但是事情并不总是按照我的意愿走。另一方面，我不想要和我父母交流，如果他们问我问题，我就三言两语搪塞他们。我觉得他们并不了解我，因此我不愿意和父母交流。

我知道我处于青春期，我的身体长得很快，我身上发生了变化，情绪变得很不稳定。所以我学着去调节自己，适应这些变化。我需要打开心扉，减少压力。

端午从字面上还有“端五”、“重五”、“重午”等名称。“端”古汉语有开头、初始的意思，称“端五”也就如称“初五”。《风土记》里说：“仲夏端午。端者，初也。”每月有三个五日，头一个五日就是“端五”。古人习惯把五月的前几天分别以端来称呼，元代陈元靓《岁时广记》云：“京师市尘人，以五月初一为端一，初二为端二，数以至五谓之端五。”

早上在吃早餐时，听到旁边的人在说买艾叶才知道，又到一年的端午节了。是啊，每年的端午节我们这里的人家都会在门上挂上艾叶，说是起到驱蚊避邪的作用。记得小时候，每年的端午节，母亲总是早早出去割一大把艾叶回来，先在门上挂一把，剩下的放到晚上煮水来帮家里的小孩洗澡。用艾叶水洗过澡的小孩一年都很少有虫子咬，也不会有皮肤病了。

小孩总是开心地在一旁玩，等着吃母亲包好的粽子。父亲就会去街上买一些好菜回来让我们解解馋，顺便也带些雄黄回来，晚上就用雄黄沾些酒为每个小孩点在额头和耳朵上。现在的小孩不会像我们那时一样等着吃粽子了，也不会涂雄黄酒了。我很少会想起要挂艾叶。虽然母亲每年总是叫人帮带粽子来给我吃，但我也不像小时候那么喜欢吃了。不过每每想起小时候过端午节的情景，都感觉很温馨。

总想起父母在院子里忙碌的身影，母亲是不是又在包粽子了?父亲是不是坐在一旁和母亲商量去买雄黄的事了?现在端午节放假了，我明天一定要带小孩回去和父母一起过端午节了，尝尝母亲刚刚煮好的粽子，再让父亲帮我们涂点雄黄酒，让小孩洗洗艾叶水澡。

我们大家一年都会平平安安!

My hometown is beautiful place It stands near a wide river at the foot of low green hills. It has many tall buildings and wide streets. There are trees and flowers everywhere.

But it has not always been like that. In the old days, it was a sad dirty little town. Landlords and merchants lived in the few good houses. For the working people there were only dark, unhealthy rooms in old buildings and huts in narrow muddy streets. Nearly everyone was poor and many had no work.

Everything has changed since liberation. The people, led by the Party, have got rid of the mud and dirt. They have put up schools, theaters, shops and flats. They have an assembly hall and a hospital. Along the river they have built offices, hotels and parks. A lot of factories have sprung up. On the river, streamers and boats come and go busily, day and night. They carry the products of our industries to all parts of the country.

I love my hometown, and I love its people. They also have changed. Healthy and happy, they are going all out to build socialism.

In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy. while it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults. high should be allowed more time for play. plying is not wasting time, as some think. it gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination. which tends to be stifled by too much study.

Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. i do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. i do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.

The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the dragon boat festival. For more than two thousand years， dragon boat festival has been a multi-ethnic folk festival of national fitness， epidemic prevention and disease elimination， plague prevention and poison elimination， and pray for health.

Dragon boat festival， also known as duanyang festival and chung Wu festival， is said to be the day when qu yuan， a great poet in ancient China and one of the four cultural celebrities in the world， threw himself into the gurgling river to die for his country. For more than two thousand years， the fifth day of the fifth lunar month has become a traditional festival to commemorate qu yuan every year. Historical records show that in 278 BC， on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month， qu yuan， a doctor of Chu and a patriotic poet， heard the news that Qin Jun had breached the capital of Chu. he felt sad and angry， and his heart ached. he resolutely wrote his last poem " Huai Sha"， threw stones into the Miluo river， and sacrificed himself for the country. People along the Yangtze river have led boats racing to salvage， evoking spirits along the water， and throwing zongzi into the river， lest fish and shrimp eat into his body. This custom has lasted for more than 2000 years.

Christmas is one of the most important celebrations of the year for the western countries. It falls on the twenty- fifth of December and has the same importance as Chinese New Year to people with English backgrounds. The celebration is for the birth of Jesus Christ, who is the son of God in Christianity. Now days Christmas is no longer only celebrated by the Christians, but by most people from all over the world.

On the twenty- fourth of December everyone gets excited for it’s the day before Christmas which is called Christmas Eve. The children are usually sent to bed early and are warned that “Santa Claus will only come and give you a present if you be good.” The younger kids actually believe that Santa will come down the chimney on the sleigh that’s pulled by his reindeers. Food like short bread and beer are prepared for Santa when he comes, however most times parents just eat them. Some children put socks and sacks up for the holding of the presents (that their parents put in).

Rise and shine on Christmas morning! The children are always the first ones to wake up, some even do at four. Present wrappers everywhere! They look into their presents with a big smile on their face and oh dear….I hope no one’s disappointed. I feel sorry for anyone that got pink underwear. Children play while dinner is prepared by the adults. The Christmas dinner are usually eaten together by relatives. The tradition of Christmas pudding and roosters are usually eaten with deserts afterwards. The rest of the day is usually games and fun before the good days all come to an end.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

The Dragon Boat Festival, also named "Chongwu Festival" or "Daughters Festival", takes place in May 5 in the lunar calendar.

It is a folk festival widely passed down with a history of over two thousand years, and one of the most important festivals as well.

There are various celebrating activities on the day of Dragon Boat Festival, among which eating rice dumplings (zongzi, the steamed glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves) and dragon boat race are important customs.

There are many legends on the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Some people say it is to commemorate the poet Qu Yuan, while some people think it is to memorialize Wu Zixu, a famous official in the Warring States Period, still there are some others regarding May 5 in the lunar calendar as the date when the Wuyue people held a memorial totem ceremony in ancient times.

However, the legend on Qu Yuan is the most widely spread. People praise highly the lofty sentiment and outstanding talent toward this patriotic poet and take more pity on the finale that he drowned himself in a river. In the mind of most Chinese people, the conventions of eating rice dumplings and Dragon Boat Race in the Festival are all closely related to the commemoration of Qu Yuan.

Besides, there are also different conventions like drinking realgar wine and wearing sachet。
