小学英语字母写法与以前不同【最新20篇】

1.描写环境渲染气氛

如《那天，我真后悔》开头：傍晚，天忽然变得阴沉沉的，霎时间，狂风呼啸，黄沙伴着灰尘弥满了整个天空。每个车站点里都站了许多候车人。

2.提出问题引导思路

如《海底世界》的开头：你可知道，大海的深处是怎样的吗?

3.开门见山直入正题

如《桂林山水》的开头：人们都说：“桂林山水甲天下。”我们乘着木船荡漾在漓江上，来观赏桂林的山水。

4.布下疑团引人入胜

如《大力士=小蚂蚁》的开头：小蚂蚁，只有线头那么大，多不起眼儿呀。大力士和小蚂蚁画等号，你说不是怪事吗?

5.揭示矛盾引出故事

如《两个中队委员》的开头：李玲与肖敏同在一个班，又都是中队委员，可是俩人见面不打招呼，说话要抬扛，倒像是冤家。唉，只怪六一节下午那件事……

6、形象比喻式开头

如《老师颂》的开头：老师，您是永不叫累的园丁;您是输送养料的树根;您是燃烧自已照亮我们的蜡烛;您是天下最伟大的人类灵魂的工程师。

7、直点文题式开头

如《我要克隆几个自己》开头： 假如我会克隆，我一定要克隆几个我自已，帮我做各种事。

如《书趣》开头：记得程颐好像说过：“外物之味，久则可厌;读书之味，愈久愈深。”书读得越多，也就越能体会到其精妙之处。我从小爱看书，同书中的主人公同呼吸，共命运，时常达到废寝忘食的地步。

9、言语描写式开头

如《我眼中的妈妈》开头：“懒虫!快八点了!再不起床就要迟到了!听到了没有!我要掀被窝了!”妈妈河东狮吼般地叫声，逼得我极不情愿地钻出热乎乎地被窝。

10、引用歌词式开头

如《我是一只笼中鸟》开头：“我是一只可怜的小小鸟，想飞却怎么也飞不高、、、、、、、”我伤心地唱着歌，背着沉重的书包无奈地走在回家的路上，想到回家后还要弹琴、听英语、做作业我就心烦。

11、抒发感情式开头

如《幽幽小巷情》开头：静下来的时候总想起那条小巷，小巷幽幽，包含多少人间真情。多少年来，小巷的一草一木总萦绕心头，那石铺的街道，古旧的木门，挺拔的大树，还有那普通又普通的人们……

12、倒叙描写式开头

如《我爱用心去体验生活》开头：哈哈!我的文章《夏雨匆匆》又上报了!读着自己变成铅字的优美文句，不由自主地想起了一个星期前的那次观雨经过，真正领悟到好文章是用心和情描绘出来的。(选自)

其实，作文的开头是由作文的内容、体裁、读者对象、构思技巧和作者的写作功底所决定的，因此很难有一个统一的要求。

我国古代有一位爱国诗人叫屈原，他遭谗言被放逐后，无力拯救危亡的国家，悲愤过度，于是投江自尽，以生殉国。人们为了不使鱼虾吃掉他的尸体，纷纷将捏成的各种各样的饼子投入江中，用来喂饱水中的动物，有的划着船在水上敲锣打鼓驱赶水兽。这便成为现在端午节，吃粽子、炸糕点、赛龙舟的由来。

说到这里，我又想起了我家过端午节的情景。奶奶捏了种类不同的饼子，有小花，小人，小海星，真是形态各异。妈妈急着去买菜角，爸爸不慌不忙地拉着我去买粽子。排着长长的队，好似一条长龙，我们好不容易才买到了粽子。可以看出，家家户户都很重视这个节日，人们用这种方式来表达对屈原的思念和崇敬。

[小学生英语日记带翻译

我最喜欢的小动物是小猫，我们家就养了一只小猫，它是邻居送过来的。因为现在那只小猫已经死了，所以我会经常想起它。

My favorite little animal is a kitten, and we have a kitten in our house. It was sent by a neighbor. Because the kitten is dead now, so I often think of it.

小猫长得很漂亮，他有一身雪白的毛，爪子下的肉垫可以使他走路没有一丁点声音。最独特的是他的眼睛：一只眼睛是蓝色的，另一只眼睛是绿色的。蓝眼睛像蓝宝石，绿眼睛像绿宝石。

The kitten was beautiful. He had a snow-white coat, and the pads under his paws made him walk without a single sound. The most unique is his eyes: one eye is blue, the other eye is green. Blue eyes are like sapphires, green eyes are like emeralds.

小猫很贪吃，有时一斤重的鱼不一会儿就“消灭”了。有一次，妈妈做了一碗鱼汤。小猫跳上桌子，津津有味的吃了起来。正在吃的时候，它被我发现了，于是我狠狠的教训了他一顿。小猫耷拉着脑袋，好像在说：“我再也不敢了。”我立刻笑了。

Kittens are voracious, and sometimes a pound of fish will soon be wiped out. Once, my mother cooked a bowl of soup. The cat jumped onto the table and ate it with relish. While I was eating, it was discovered by me, so I gave him a hard lesson. The little cat drooped its head as if to say, "I dare not."." I laughed at once.

现在那只小猫已经死了，从那以后，我每次见到小猫，都要和它嬉戏一番。小猫，你到底去了哪里了呢?

Now that kitten has died, since then, every time I see a kitten, I have to play with it. Kitty, where the hell have you been?

Recently, the newspapers, on TV are advocated to join the CD action, the classmates, do you know what call CD action? Right! Is to eat them all the food on the plate.

The Chinese custom is when the guest to order food, said the hospitality of yourself. Comes the Spring Festival, people also hard to avoid with their relatives and friends go out to eat a big meal, to express their own mind, a point of a lot of food, in the end, eat not only, also left a lot of food, do not pack again, watched these delicious is poured into the trash can. Alas...

Hunger has become the number one killer of mankind, now many people in Africa are still being plagued by hunger, be starved to death at last. Now the die from hunger in the world, ten million people each year. If we recycle 5% of the food every day, there will be four million people were rescued. Television also often put some of the poor children in the mountain, they didnt eat didnt drink, if we can save food, may be able to change their miserable fate.

These days, when I went to restaurant downstairs, I found there are some guests on the table with good after eating the leftovers and food on the plate almost all have no, eat is very clean, it must be they also read the newspapers and on TV the act after the news. I think Ill join the "CD" action, so at the time of order, I think is almost enough to eat and dont let mother point, when you eat, we also put the dishes and a bowl of rice to eat clean, looking at the bare plate, Im so happy!

Here, I also give you two initiatives for "CD" action: 1, to cherish food, right amount order, avoid the leftover food, reduce the extravagant and wasteful. 2, not comparing, proud of savings, a waste of shame. Do not scraps, waste not, eat whatever you have, prostrate! Join the CD, together to "waste" said no!

The classmates, let us also join "CD" action! Let us also from waste, to save!

最近，报纸、电视上都在提倡要加入光盘行动，同学们，你们知道什么叫光盘行动吗?对了!就是把盘子里的饭菜全吃光。

中国人的习俗就是在客人来的时候多点些菜，表示一下自己的热情好客。到了春节，大家也难免带着亲朋好友出去吃一顿大餐，为了想表达自己的一个心意，就点了许多菜，到最后呢，吃也吃不光，还剩下了许多饭菜，又不打包，只能眼睁睁地看着这些美味被倒进垃圾桶里。唉....

饥饿现在已成为人类的第一号杀手，许多非洲地区的人们还在被饥饿困扰着，最后被活活饿死了。现在全世界由于饥饿而死的，每年就有一千万个人。如果我们每天回收5%的粮食，就会有四百万饥民获救。电视上也经常会放一些山区的贫苦孩子，他们没吃没喝，如果我们能节约粮食，或许就能改变他们悲惨的命运。

这几天，我去楼下饭馆吃饭时，我发现桌子上放着一些客人用好餐后盘子里的剩菜和剩饭几乎都没有，吃的都很干净，这一定是他们也看了报纸和电视上的新闻后做出的行动。我想我也要加入“光盘"行动，因此在点菜的时候，我觉得差不多够吃了也就不让妈妈点了，吃饭的时候，我们也把菜和碗里的饭吃的干干净净，看着吃的光光的盘子,我开心极了!

在此,我也为"光盘"行动给大家二个倡议:1、珍惜粮食，适量订餐，避免剩餐，减少奢侈浪费。2、不攀比，以节约为荣，浪费为耻。做到不剩饭，不浪费，吃多少要多少，吃不了兜着走!加入光盘族，一起对“浪费"说不!

同学们，让我们也一起加入“光盘"行动!让我们也远离浪费，走向节约吧!

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!

I like to watch movie so much, because I can learn a lot of things. Comedy

of friends. A humorous person is always favored by all, as he can bring

happiness.

今天是五一劳动节，爸爸妈妈带我去麒麟山游乐园玩。

山脚下，来来往往的车辆，拥挤的人群在慢慢地往山上走，远远地看过去像一群群黑压压的蚂蚁。动物园门口有很多人买票，队伍排成一条长长的龙，热闹极了!我们继续往上走，一路上还遇到了三个同班同学。

到了游乐园，我和爸爸一起玩了很刺激的冲浪和疯狂米老鼠，真过瘾!接着我还去玩了水上透明球，我蹲在一个大大的透明球里面，叔叔把球用力地推下水，到了水上，我摇摇摆摆地站起来，没几秒钟就摔了下去，像刚学走路的小弟弟，逗得岸上的人哈哈大笑。后来，我干脆懒洋洋地躺在球里面晒太阳，球在水上晃动，我就像婴儿一样躺在摇篮里摇啊摇，好玩极了!

First is running. And the other part is jumping. The meeting is very exciting. I watched the running match, but I didn’t watch the jumping match. What a pity!

Ha-ha, I ran with my classmate then. Because I want to cheer them on. But always they ran faster than me long. So I had to try my best to catch them up. It’s a hard work, I think.

The match is very fierce. The players are powerful. Who is the best? We guess. All of us hope the winner is our class. Finally, the best will get congratulations. And others also will get comfort and support.

They are kind people. And the match is the best way to make people happier, stronger, and also make them become more friendly.

中美文化差异

国人见面打招呼时，喜欢问“你吃了吗?”“你去哪呀?”

而西方人对此都感到很怪异。

An American studying in China had an appointment at noon. As he was getting on his bicycle a Chinese friend passed by. "吃了吗?”The young Chinese asked. This, of course, is a common Chinese greeting around meal time and the American merely nodded with a smile, waved goodbye and went off. He realized that his friend’s remark was nothing more than a Chinese way of saying hello or Hi. If the greeting had been put literally into English "Have you eaten yet?" Or “Have you had your lunch? " It would have sounded rather unusual. To Americans, this greeting might mean this: "I havent either. Come on, let’s go together and get something to eat." or "If you haven’t, I was just going to invite you to my place." In other words, it could indicate an invitation to a meal.

Actually , another foreign student who had not been long in China once complained in broken Chinese 你们为什么老问我吃了饭没有?我有钱。To his way of thinking, people were concerned that he was not getting his meals properly because of lack of money. Clearly, he was offended. There is a similar Chinese greeting, such as "上哪儿去啊?""到哪儿去啦?" Which if translated literally, would be "Where are yon going?" Or "Where have you been?" The natural reaction of most English-speaking people to this greeting would most likely be "It’s none of your business!"

Fortunately, not all greetings sound strange or arouse displeasure. Many are similar, some are merely different. While greetings in many languages often indicate the time of day, there may be inconsistencies within a language. English has Good morning, Good afternoon and Good evening but not Good noon. And Good night is not a greeting at all, but an expression of farewell.

greeting 打招呼

一天中午，一个在中国学习的美国留学生有个约会。他刚要骑上自行车，一位中国朋友从旁边走过，问他：“吃了吗?”这是中国人在吃饭前后打招呼的常用语。美国留学生笑着点点头，挥挥手表示告别，就走了。

他知道，中国朋友的话等于英语中的Hello或Hi，但如果照字面译成Have you eaten yet?或Have you had your lunch?外国人听起来就很怪。美国人会以为，这种打招呼似乎是说：“我也没有吃。走吧，我们一起去吃点东西吧。”或者说：“如果没有吃的话，我正要请你到我家去呢。”;总之，这样打招呼有时意味着邀请对方去吃饭 。

发生过这样的事。有一次，一个刚到中国不久的外国留学生结结巴巴地用汉语说：“你们为什么老问我吃了饭没有?我有钱。”他以为人们总问他“吃饭了吗”是因为怕他没钱吃饭。他显然对这种问法感到生气。

再如，汉语中的“上哪儿去啊?”和“到哪儿去啦?”这样打招呼的话直译成英语就是Where are you going?和Where have you been?用这两句英语来打招呼，大部分讲英语的人听了会不高兴，他们的反应很可能是：It s none of your business! 你管得着吗!

幸而，打招呼的话并不都令人感到奇怪或者引起对方反感。有许多打招呼的话是相似的，有些只是说法不同。在许多语言里，打招呼的话往往是相似的，有些只是说法不同。

在许多语言里，打招呼的话往往与时间有关，但即使在一种语言中也有不一致的地方。英语中有Good morning, Good afternoon, Good evening 都相当于汉语中的“您好”，只是说的时间不同而已，但不说Good noon。而 Good night (晚安;明天见;再会)根本不是打招呼的话，这只是告别时说的话。
