最后他还跟我说是因为王老师找到工作了,所以才被掉走了.最终我还是没有相信他.

可是,在我去办公室改错题的时候我才发现王老师真的不教我们英语了.这时候我感觉我一定是看错了.等我回到教室的时候很多同学都说王老师掉走了,而且还换了一个男英语老师.

到了上英语课的时候,果然换了一个英语老师,我很后悔,王老师没有早一点跟我们说.可是这个老师刚进来就跟我们说;你们想不想见一个人呀.同学们都不约而同地回答到;想.其实我们早就知道是王老师,王老师一近来我们就都哭了.因为王老师教了我们四年.我知道王老师肯定是第一个来看的我们班.王老师还说有时间会回来看我们的.到了下午的时候王老师走了.我和我的同伴去送走了王老师.

我想王老师一定会回来看我们的.我一定要好好学习,不辜负王老师的期望.

圣诞节对于外国人来说非常重要，对于中国人来说也同样重要，今天就是平安夜，也是圣诞节的第一天。

平安夜到来了，圣诞老人正在准备着今年的礼物，在这一天里可是要送苹果的哦!我正准备送妈妈一个大苹果，放学后我赶忙来到小卖部，“老板，有没有圣诞果?”我大声的说，老板看了看我，摇了摇头，啊!这么快就没有了，唉!我只好垂头丧气的回家了，妈妈见我皱起眉头，便说：“怎么了?”我像针缝了嘴似的没说出真相，我转了转眼睛灵机一动，便想出法子来做圣诞果，只见我像听了谁的命令似的放下书包，躲进屋子里不出来，首先，我先拿来一个又红又大的苹果来做主体，再用我那最喜欢的彩带来装饰它，顿时一位公主出现在我面前华丽的服装，透亮的玉镯、蓝色的水晶鞋，啊!多么漂亮，用我的卡纸做成了一个圣诞树的形状，上面还写上了一句话：“妈妈，我爱你，您是世界上最漂亮的妈妈，妈妈祝你圣诞快了!”成功了，我急忙跑去送给妈妈，妈妈惊呆了，她流下了一滴眼泪，这滴眼泪很甜。

圣诞节的第二天早晨，我收到了礼物，我明知道这是妈妈送的，但我却依旧像个小孩子，当我来到学校时，我的抽屉里堆满了贺卡，和妈妈一样我非常感动，贺卡就是贺卡上面都是一些贺语，只有一张贺卡上写的，我非常生气，因为他和我开了一个玩笑。

圣诞节正是如此，有人开玩笑，也有人令我非常感动，总之祝大家圣诞节快乐!

终于熬到了大年三十，这时候家家户户过年的气氛达到了高潮。大家都在忙着贴春联、包饺子……到了晚上，全家人都聚在一起吃年夜饭，等着看《春节联欢晚会》。我和姐姐最鼓欢放鞭炮和看《春节联欢晚会》了。

开始放鞭炮和礼花时，我还有点害怕，把心一下提到了嗓子眼，生怕出现意外把我炸伤了。大爸看到我哆嗦的样子说：“人家是男子汉大丈夫，你是男子汉大豆腐”。我心想：“哼，我才不是大豆腐，我是安全第一”。在大爸的指导下，我慢慢地不怕了。我们放了许多鞭炮和礼花，最漂亮的要数一种叫“流星雨”的礼花了，只要一点着就能喷出五颜六色的焰火，五彩缤纷，美丽极了。

今年的《春节联欢晚会》也不错，里面有许多好看的节目，我最喜欢《五官新说》和《不差钱》了，这两个节目把人们逗得哈哈大笑，同时也有一定的教育意义。

到了大年初一，吃完饺子，我们就给长辈们拜年，祝他们牛年快乐。拜完年，拿着压岁钱，我和大爸一家去广场玩，我们赢了许多的奖品……今年春节，我还学会了两个四字词语“牛气冲天、一路领先”。我非常喜欢这两个词语，因为我希望我今年的学习成绩能像这两个词一样，在学校里一跃榜首。
