关于猫的小学四年级英语作文(精选20篇)

办年货、扫尘、贴对联、拜神祭祖、包饺子、放烟花都是春节的习俗，其中让我印象最深刻的就是包饺子。

去年春节，我试着包饺子。妈妈和外婆早早地和好面，外公则在一旁叮叮当当地剁起馅来，里面有韭菜有肉，再放入各种各样的调料，搅拌均匀，香味儿已经阵阵钻入鼻孔。外婆把和好的面掰下一块，搓成长条，再用刀切成一小块一小块的。轮到我了，我负责用擀面棍擀出又圆又薄的面皮，这活看着容易做着难，不是面皮厚薄不均匀，就是不够圆，勉强凑合着用吧!我擀了好久，我把我擀好的面皮“运"给妈妈，我妈妈包饺子可厉害啦!不仅速度快，而且样子美观。看得我心痒痒的，于是我试着也包了几个，不是馅包得太多，就是馅放得少了，我的"杰作"一大一小，样子真难看。妈妈帮我重新收拾了一下终于胖瘦适中了!我不气馁，又包了好几个，哈!哈!哈!饺子馅掌握得越来越好了，花纹也会捏了。此时，外婆都露出了羡慕的目光。一排排饺子就像胖娃娃整整齐齐地蹲坐在那里，可爱极了。

刚下锅的饺子旋转着，时沉时浮，过了一会儿，饺子全浮上来了。又过了两三分钟，饺子变得晶莹剔透，肚子圆鼓鼓的。

饺子熟了我尝了一口，真香，太好吃了，人间美味啊!

在我的暑假生活中，经历了许许多多开心、有趣、刺激的故事，多得数不清，有如长江之水一样，下面就让我从这“江水中”抽出一段讲讲吧! In my summer vacation, I have experienced a lot of happiness, interesting, and exciting stories.Let me take a paragraph from this "river water"!

就在快上中学的时候，小学的同学在QQ群里发出公告，星期六下午2：00准时骑车到学校集合。听到这个消息，我欣喜万分，高兴得手舞足蹈，一蹦三尺高。心想：这肯定又是出去玩耍发出的公告。

星期六下午我骑着车早早的来到了学校，却发现已经来了许多人。待人数到齐后，大家排成长队出发了。一路上，大家始终保持着队伍，远看就好像一条长龙，街上看到的人都议论纷纷。

不一会儿，便到达目的地--龟湖公园。我们驶进龟湖公园一旁的小路，发现前边不远的地方有一个旋转喷头，水四处飞溅，像空降兵一样轻轻的落到了草地上，滋润草坪。我放下车，像出了膛的炮弹一样。我的身体忽然不由自主地向它冲去，好像停也停不下来似的。

这时水向我飞射过来，把我淋成了落汤鸡，大家立即笑得前俯后昂，合不开嘴。我呆呆地站在那儿，不知所措。这时，水流又一次向我喷射过来，淋得我一身，于是他们笑得更得意、更猖狂了。就在这一刻，我突发其感，立即拿起喷射头旋转器的中间，转到了他们所处的位置，趁他们还在笑的时候，我趁其不备，喷了过去把他们淋了一身湿，于是我也跟着哈哈大笑起来。就这样我报了这一“箭”之仇。他们看到自己这副模样，便像凶狠的恶狼朝我冲了过来，我惊慌失措，不知怎么办。望着四处飞溅的水，我立即拿起来向他们喷射过去。待他们到达水龙头的地方，大家便像杀得红眼的恶魔一样争来夺去，都想霸占住这个“王位”。

就这样，大家都没分出胜负来，个个都累得倒在这碧绿的草地上，仰望天空。望着天空大家都开心地笑了，笑得那么的灿烂，那么的甜蜜……

这就是我的暑假生活其中的一天，一天开心的趣事!

寒冷的冬天过去了，温暖的春天不知不觉的来了，我们去校园寻找春天的足迹。

校园的左侧，有一棵高大的梧桐树，远远望去，梧桐树光秃秃的，近看，会惊喜的发现，梧桐树长出了一些小苞，小苞是绿色的，有的小苞抽出了一点儿嫩芽，有的小苞圆溜溜的，像一个个小球。

走过“求真”石，就来到大操场上，大操场上那四季常青的松柏依然昂首挺胸的站在大操场边守护着，像一个个绿色卫士。

绕过大操场，映入眼帘的是一棵美丽的紫荆树，紫荆树上的花儿挨挨挤挤的，散发出迷人的芳香。紫金花是紫色的，一朵朵米粒大小的紫荆花连在一起，好像一串串紫糖葫芦。紫荆花小小的，形状比其他花要小，根桂花差不多。微风吹来，紫荆花发出沙沙的响声，奏响了春的乐章。

紫金树旁，有一株开得如火如荼的茶花，红红的茶花开满枝头，在绿叶的衬托下显得更加艳丽。有的花瓣全展开了，露出了嫩黄的花蕊，有的还是花骨朵儿，看起来马上要破裂似的。

走进小操场，抬头仰望，展现在眼前的是一株婀娜多姿的迎春花，迎春花的根细细的，像一个苗条的少女，又像一根仙女的秀发，一阵微风吹过，迎春花随着风舞蹈，好像在说：“你看我多漂亮啊!”

沿着小路漫步，只见一棵广玉兰出现在眼前。广玉兰的花瓣大朵大朵的粉红粉红的，有的全展开了，像花仙子的家，有的还是花骨朵儿，像一滴雨露。

春天的校园真美啊!

I am Happy

Today， the biology class is very different. We don’t need to sit in the

classroom， because the teacher takes us to do activities. We go to a field that

is near our school， and the task for us is to observe flowers. We feel so

excited and finish the task very carefully. It is a good way for us to learn

knowledge. I am so happy.

今天，生物课与平时不太一样，我们不需要在教室里面坐着，因为老师带我们去做活动。我们来到学校附近的一片田野上，我们的任务是观察花朵。我们非常激动，也非常认真地完成这项任务。这是一个学习知识的好方法。我很开心。

生活中有许多奇思妙想，而且许多人的奇思妙想都成了现实，我也是个爱幻想的人，我希望我的奇思妙想有一天也能实现。

我们学生平时待的最多的地方不是家，就是教室了。一般的教室，就是四面墙，一个讲台，一块黑板，一排排普普通通的课桌椅。我想发明一间教室。这个教室外观大小虽然和现在的教室没有什么不同，但里面绝对让你大开眼界。

这个教室具体是怎么样的呢?听我来跟你们讲一讲吧。教室里没有黑板，但墙壁都是用特殊材料做成的，他可以变成黑板，也可以变成荧光屏。上课时，墙壁会根据课程的不同而切换不同的场景。比如上语文课时，老师讲到春天，墙上就出现了绿油油的草坪，上面开满了姹紫嫣红、争奇斗艳的鲜花。与此同时，墙壁上还散发出来一阵阵扑鼻的花香。让我们仿佛置身于大自然中，沉浸在春的怀抱中。

课桌椅不是一排一排地摆放的，而是一圈一圈的摆放着。下面是轨道，它可以整排旋转，也可以每个座位自己360度的旋转。自然课上，老师讲到地球的公转和自转的时候，墙壁和天花板出现了整个太阳系，而我们的座位也开始旋转起来，顿时我感觉自己化作了宇宙中的一颗小行星，绕着太阳转起来了。老师讲到火山爆发，四周的墙壁布满了涌动的岩浆，教室里的温度也会极速上升，让我们身临其境地感受火山爆发的威力。教室还有很多奇特的功能，在这样的教室里学习，你还会觉得枯燥吗?

莱克兄弟的奇思妙想，创造了飞机，马云的奇思妙想，创造了现在移动支付时代，我的发明想象，让教室充满了吸引力，吸引着每一个孩子，他们享受着学习的乐趣!想象是创造的先导，是思想腾飞的翅膀，让我们尽情奇思妙想吧。

2月28日——星期二——小雪

昨天下雪了，下雪的时候我们可以在雪地里打雪仗、滑冰，真是太好玩了!我喜欢冬天，我喜欢下雪!

3月8日——星期三_雨

我和母亲一起出去玩，在车里我看见了小雨点。小雨点象一串一串的小水珠.小雨点落在草地上、树上、还有我们的车上。小草更绿了，小树长大了，我们的车更亮了!

四年级观察日记8

我家有许多王国，那就是蚂蚁王国。

今天我就来观察一下小型蚂蚁王国，我用牙咬掉一个米粒大小的苹果。把它放在了地上。过了一会一只蚂蚁走了过来，把比他还大10倍的东西尝了一口。啊!真好吃!蚂蚁就回去报告了!

Every year, Spring Festival makes me happy, because I can spend a long

holiday to stay with my families. On the New Year’s Eve, all the families got

together. We woke up early in the morning and then my mother started to purchase

some food to prepare the big dinner. I helped my mother to bring the food.

Before dinner, there was a tradition in my hometown. We needed to bring the

chicken to take a bow to our ancestors, showing our respect and gratitude. When

the dinner’s ready, we ate happily and talked a lot. Then at night, the families

pasted the New Year’s scrolls and decorated the house. What a harmonious

environment and we enjoyed the family hour. In the next few days, I visited a

lot of relatives. It was a good chance for us to communicate with each

other.

Last week, I visited the geological museum with my best friend, Liu Bing.

It was my first time to go there. The moment we arrived there, we found that the

building was grand. When we walked into it, there was a big hall in front of us.

And then there were several rooms to show different kinds objects. There was a

room for collecting scripts and paintings. There was another room to store

clothes and shoes in the old times. The next room was for collecting the daily

necessities in the old days. In a word, all the things in it had a long history.

I learnt some knowledge from it.

Today is the annual national holiday, is a happy day.

I and my father and mother go to the zoo to play. We entered the park, we saw where the sea of people, like a long queue, more like a happy ocean.

Animal in the zoo is so much! There are cute little bunny, there are bulky gorillas, and that beautiful peacock. There are mandarin ducks in the water play, I throw food to them, they immediately ran over to snatch, really too cute. The most interesting is the monkeys of the iron gate, where they jump and jump, there is a group of macaques in the grab bottle! As long as some people take the bottle to tease them to play, they are very flexible to come to grab. Some naughty little children handed them Coke, they are not polite, took a big mouth to drink up. This is really a group of naughty and smart monkeys!

Go all the way, from time to time the birds flew over my head, twitter, as if to welcome us to come. The river fish in the free to swim, so comfortable, how I hope that they can become a fish, and they can play with them. Today is a good day, I really want to sing, the motherland I love you!

今天是一年一度的国庆节，是个令人开心的日子。

我和爸爸妈妈去动物园玩。我们进了园，就看见那里人山人海，就像是一条长龙，更像是一片欢乐的海洋。

动物园里的动物可真多呀!有可爱的小兔子，有笨重的大猩猩，还有那美丽的孔雀。远处有鸳鸯在水中嬉戏，我扔了食物给它们，它们就立刻跑过来抢食，真是太可爱了。最有趣的就是铁门边的那些猴子，它们在那里跳来跳去，还有一群猕猴在抢瓶子呢!只要有人拿瓶子逗它们玩，它们就很灵活地过来抢。有些顽皮的小孩子递给它们可乐，它们毫不客气，接过就大口大口地喝了起来。这真是一群淘气又聪明的猴子呀!

一路走去，不时有鸟儿在我头上飞过，叽叽喳喳的，好像在欢迎我们的到来。河中鱼儿在自由自在地游着，那么惬意，我多么希望自己也能变成一条鱼儿，可以和它们一起嬉戏。今天真是个好日子，我好想放声歌唱，祖国祖国我爱您!

是谁抢了秋日的风头?是谁让那浓郁的香风溢满秋天?是桂花。桂花，迎着秋风无忧无虑地开放，一朵朵，一串串，闪闪烁烁，星光灿烂! Who grabbed the autumn limelight? Who made the strong incense wind overflowing autumn? It is osmanthus.Osmanthus flowers, open to the autumn wind and carelessly, a breeze, a series of skewers, sparkling, and bright stars!

桂花不拘束自己，花开花落，任其自由。看，它有花成串成串地开，有香就一飘十里。这一朵还不肯谢去，那一朵就挤着挨着冒了出来。从枝条，从叶下，一夜间冒出这么多，叶子也盖不住它们迷人的笑靥，关不住它们沁人心脾的香味。它把金黄色的小花渲泄成河成瀑，又把代表秋天的香气毫无保留地聚散如云如雾。当风儿轻轻呼唤的时候，它们就兄弟姐妹地一同落下，变成香风香雨。这时，你若坐在树下，会感觉到整个人像是在天宫上翩翩起舞，像是在大观园里让桂花的芬芳灌醉。

桂花不沽名钓誉。它和菊花在一个季节盛开，没有“四君子”美誉，却有着和菊花一样的精神。它虽然不是四季常开，叶子却是四季常绿。它不畏惧寂寞，在日渐萧瑟的秋天，当百花凋谢后，它才姗姗地在秋风中怒放。没有竞争者，没有烘托者。

它依然开得那么有滋有味：今天还是个不起眼的花苞，明天清晨一定会被香风叫醒。像星星，满树开;像云雾，四处飘：叶下开，树杈开，枝头开，哪里有空隙，就往哪里挤，就在哪里开，今年的谢去了，明年一定会开得更加璀璨。它就那么默默地开着，放着，淡泊着，不与百花争奇斗艳，从未计较声名如何。树上，它聚集;风里，它散落;求的只是清秋有一抹艳，一缕香。

桂花是秋天的宝，它乐于奉献。经秋风凌厉地洗礼后，它把一身宝留给人们：可以泡茶，味道香;可以做桂花酒，味道醇;可以做桂花糕，味道甜;还可以做药，化痰，止咳，生津，止牙疼都有明显的功效呢!

桂花啊!你不拘束自己，不沽名钓誉，乐于奉献，这是一种怎样的精神，怎样的美啊!古往今来，多少人喜欢你，赞美你，歌颂你!你的生命虽然平凡，但你骨子里那的可贵精神却被永久留传……

My friend and I

My name is Li BaoLing . I have a good friend . Her name is Chen ZiQing . I am 13 years old . She is as old as me. I am 155cm tall. She is 150cm tall . She is 5cm shorter than me . I am 36kg . She is 37kg . She is heavier than me .She often does homework with me .We always help each other. I am happy to have a good firend .

As for me, I have a special emotion to autumn. Autumn always gives me a

kind of feeling which can make me forget sorrow. Every time when autumn comes, I

am always glad to feel the beautiful season. I can enjoy myself in this great

season.

I like the wind of autumn. It is cool and comfortable. When the wind kisses

my face, I will close my eyes and smile. I know that wind brings me the breath

of autumn. She lets me understand that autumn is full of happiness. I can smell

and taste autumn everywhere. The view of the autumn will give me a huge

enjoyment. As for me, the wind in autumn is the best present. I am deeply

attracted by the autumn wind. This taste of autumn is delicious.

I also love autumn colors. The leaves will turn yellow in autumn. This kind

of yellow represents hope and maturity. When I see these yellow leaves, I will

think that they still enter into the soil and will give the tree adequate

nutrition. Thus, they never leave the tree. I am moved by this sentiment. This

phenomenon gives me many thoughts about human society. I believe that our

society will have a better development if we realize that we should have a

grateful heart. Autumn colors are so magical for me. They let me have bigger

imagination space to think over life. I know this taste of autumn is sweet.

I really appreciate autumn quality. In my eyes, autumn is just a mature

person. And her love requires no return. In this season, when I walk on the way,

I can feel her sincerity and her firmness. Although she can’t speak one word, I

can learn something from her. This taste of autumn is pregnant and

attractive.

Autumn is my favorite season and I will go on to feel autumn. Autumn also

makes me have a deeper understanding of cherishing everything that I have

now.

The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually

in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han

Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance.

This days important activity is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han

Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. One emperor heard that

Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of Buddhas

body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar

month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to

show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a

grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the Central

Plains to the whole of China.

Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the

country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets,

attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made or bought lanterns

to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "Guessing lantern riddles"is

an essential part of the Festival.

Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the

lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out

and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will

get a little gift. The activity emerged during peoples enjoyment of lanterns in

the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of

wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.

People will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also

called the "Yuanxiao Festival."Yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. It is

small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean

paste, jujube paste, walnut meat, dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling.

Tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes sweet and delicious. What’s

more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning

reunion. So people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the

family.

In the daytime of the Festival, performances such as a dragon lantern

dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance, walking on stilts and

beating drums while dancing will be staged. On the night, except for magnificent

lanterns, fireworks form a beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks

from the Spring Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival. Some local

governments will even organize a fireworks party. On the night when the first

full moon enters the New Year, people become really intoxicated by the imposing

fireworks and bright moon in the sky.

Today I am very happy!

I have a best friend, we know each other when we are five years old, now we talk about everything. But sometimes we will have the argument, none of us want to give in first. We make a deal that the next day we will meet in a place every time, so we become good again. I cherish our friendship so much.

我有一个最好的朋友,我们彼此认识的时候是在我们五岁的时候,现在我们无所不谈。但有时我们会有争吵,谁也不想先屈服。我们达成协议,第二天我们会在一个地方见面,这样我们再次和好。我珍惜我们的友谊。

在这金秋的十月，在这收获的季节，在二十一世纪的第十个秋天，我们再次迎来了一个盛大的节日——20__国庆，祖国大地普天同庆，华夏神洲欢呼雀跃。

回望__年，从啥都没有到现在自己创造新生活，由弱小被欺凌到强大到能保护自己，祖国的成长就如同新生的树苗，虽饱受风雨的洗礼，但依然屹立不倒且茁壮成长;纵使历经磨难，却愈见辉煌和发展。

在这__年里，我们人民见到了祖国的翻天覆地的变化。我们有了先进的农业，发达的工业，我们有了世界尖端的科学技术，在世界各地的体育赛场上也都可看到我们祖国健儿争金夺银的飒爽英姿。

祖国母亲，我们为你取得的巨大成绩而感到骄傲，也为我们能成为你的儿女而感到自豪。我们爱你，爱你那五千年的文明，爱你的世界奇观万里长城，爱你奔流不息的长江黄河，爱你那坚强的中华精神，爱你巍峨挺立的三山五岳，爱你优美秀丽的园林景观。中国是我们的母亲，我们爱中华!

站在升旗台下，注视那飘扬的红旗，听着那雄壮的国歌，我们的心情是激动的。那由先烈们的鲜血染成了如火般的颜色，现正澎湃着我们的血液，让我们能与先烈们的思想和精神进行交流，让我们更明白自己作为中华儿女的责任。那激昂雄壮的歌声激荡着我们的心，让我们更有勇气去面对那未知的一切困难，让我们具有不畏艰难勇敢前进的胆量。

祖国啊!此时的我们无法用语言来表达对您的热爱，而作为21世纪接班人的我们就用行动来表达我们对祖国的热爱吧。让我们将用勤劳智慧的双手来描绘我们祖国未来的宏伟蓝图，去创造祖国辉煌灿烂的明天!

Mid-autumn Festival is one of the most important festivals for Chinese

people, which even occupies the same position with Spring Festival. It is said

that the festival originated from a love story. A man with great strength shot

nine suns and left only one, while his wife ate the pills by curious heart. At

last, she flied to the moon and had to be separated with her lover. Nowadays,

the meaning of Mid-autumn festival is to let the families get together and enjoy

the time to appreciate the full moon. My families always prepare for some

snacks. When we finish the dinner, all the members will come to the balcony and

sit down, appreciating the full moon. We talk and enjoy the chatting hour. I

have a good time with my families.

It gradually turns cool. The sunlight is no longer so strong and the

cicadas have stopped crying. The hot summer went by at last. The favorite season

in the year is coming.

Everywhere we can see the scene of bumper crops: on the fields is golden

rice,on the trees are ripe fruits. The farmers faces are full of smiles. They

are now expecting a good harvest through a summers hard work.

The autumn evening is especially beautiful. When the setting sun goes

slowly down to the west, the sky over the mountains is covered with red rays of

evening sunlight, which shines upon the blue sky and floating clouds, just as

the maple leaves fall onto the sky.

It is getting cool at dusk. The wind blows, the moonlight shines on the

ground,the frogs croak and insects chirp in the fields. Such a situation will

make you forget all the unhappy things in the daytime.

I love the beautiful season.

今天是元旦节，我早早地起床，先伸了个懒腰，振作精神，今天是我的主场，我是临时的当家人。

第一件事，开始烧茶，加水——放米——扔进茶叶袋。耳濡目染的和妈妈学会了这些，趁开水的功夫，我开始扫地——拖地——擦家。哇，好累呀!平时只是给妈妈搭把手，没想到全做起来，真够我受的。

这时，爸爸妈妈还有弟弟起床了，我端上肉，看看茶色好了，拿出奶粉，一点一点地往锅里放，看着兑的奶茶颜色很满意，灌到壶里。早餐开始进行，看着爸妈喝的那个香呀，我心里那个美呀，“姐，茶好香呀!”弟弟的一句话使我这个第一次烧茶的人更加自信，原来给予别人快乐的同时也快乐了自己。

下午四点，我准时开始准备晚饭，因为冬天昼长夜短，所以习惯了一顿茶一顿饭。今天元旦，妈妈说吃饺子，我烧开水把冻饺子倒进锅里。也许是放的太多，水一下子顶不开。我一边学着妈妈一起煮饺子的模样，搅动着饺子，生怕粘住，可是偏偏的粘不开，我心急如焚，越是搅动越不开，最后上桌的是一盘烂饺子，我懊恼地坐在桌旁，父母却有滋有味地吃着，还直说：“很香嘛，油太大了，破了正好把油流了出来，这样不腻。”我知道，那是他们对我的安慰。我夹了一筷子饺子，吃在嘴里，眼泪却不由得在眼眶里打转。爸爸看在眼里，抚摸着我的头，语重心长地对我说：“不要因为一件小事就否定了你的能力，万事开头难，做饭和做人是一样的道理，只要不懈努力，成功一定会向你招手。”听了这一席话，我笑了。

夜晚，我躺在床上，辗转反侧，虽然亲力亲为的一天很疲惫，但心情却格外好，原来当家也是一种快乐，既锻炼了自己，有快乐了家人，带着美好的心情，我微笑的进入了梦乡。这一天很不平凡，很快乐。

Dear Sir,

I am working on a new project which is called A Survey of New Industry in the Maywood District. According to the design of our district, we need information about firms that have recently moved into this area. Your firm is one of the largest of these, so I shall be very grateful if you can spare the time to help me.

Three points are specially important to the project. The first one is the training schemes for school leavers. The second one is about the transport arrangements to overcome poor road and rail links in this district. The third is the plans for expansion.

Any other information will be useful, but those points are the ones with which I most need your help.

I am enclosing an information form for you to fill in. I hope you can post it to us as soon as possible. I apologize for adding to your work with this request, but I do hope that you will feel able to assist me.

I would be most grateful for your favorable consideration of this request.

Yours faithfully,

Mary Spencer
