端午节的高一英语(实用20篇)

在我的家乡有许多风俗习惯如：腊八节吃腊八粥，元宵节要吃汤圆，除夕要挂灯笼、放鞭炮、贴春联、贴福字，中秋节要吃月饼……当然还有很多，但我最喜喜欢的是端午节。

端午节一般分为三个部分，一个是包棕子，一个是吃棕子，还有一个是观看赛龙舟。

在端午节这一天，人们准备玉米叶、糯米、蜜枣、红豆沙、线。首先把糯米和玉米叶清洗干净，然后分别放入两个干净的盆中，人们又准备了一个勺子为的是在包粽子的时候盛糯米和红豆沙更方便卫生一些。

所有的材料已经准备齐全了，人们开始包棕子，先把玉米叶弄出一个像甜筒一样的形状然后再向“甜筒”中放入少许糯米，然后放入蜜枣、红豆沙(作为它的夹层)。放好以后再放一些糯米，把放好的馅料盖住，用多余部分的玉米叶封口，封好以后用线绕封好的三角玉米叶围上几圈，再打个结，第一个粽子就做好了?心灵手巧的人们手不停的动着，发出有节奏的声音，不一会棕子就全做好了。

人们把已经包好的棕子放入了锅中，盖上了锅盖，准备蒸棕子。

现在人们唯一想做的事情就是观看一年一度的赛龙舟，人们簇拥在一起，脸上写满了紧张。选手们个个神彩飞扬，身强力壮，当枪声响起的时候场面更是热闹的不得了。龙舟上的鼓手鼓足了劲双手拿着鼓锤有节奏的打着鼓为队友加油，划舟选手真叫一个一鼓作气，配合的十分默气，突然随着现场一阵接一阵的掌声中冠军诞生了，现场随即爆发出了一阵雷鸣般的掌声。正好，这时棕子也好了，人们美滋滋地品尝着今天的成果。

我最喜欢热闹的端午节了，你们呢?

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。

There is a library in every university, some schools pay special attention

to the building of the library, because the library always on behalf of

presentation of a school. We can find all kinds of books in the room, library

provides convenience, but it still has space to improve.

On the one hand, we can check the information and go to the library every

day. It is open all the week, and the time is from 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock. For

students, they can go to the place all the time. What’s more, the book they want

is easy to find, they can check on the computer, and find the number

quickly.

On the other hand, the library needs to improve its equipment. The books on

the library are very old, it is not good for students to do some research paper.

The amount of the computer is not enough, I always find the students wait for

the computer, while some students need to use the computer for a long time. So

there will be better if increase the number of the computer.

Despite these drawbacks, I am generally pleased with the library and hope

that it will continue to make improvement in the future.

大家知道今天是什么节日吗?没错，就是端午节。传说是人们为了纪念屈原，每年的5月5号，百姓们都会往河里扔些粽子，为了保护屈原的尸体不被鱼儿伤害。

端午节的到来，让整条大街都变得热闹非凡。街上更是一阵粽香袭来。我们家也在做粽子，通过爸妈的不懈努力，我们不一会儿就包好了十几个粽子，现在就等着粽子上锅了。突然，远处传来一阵喧闹的锣鼓声，我赶紧跑出门一看，原本是河边在举行龙舟比赛。

我挤进了乌泱泱的人群。河面上烟雾缭绕，河中间飘着数十只龙船整装待发，看着阵仗真是让人兴奋。随着一声哨响，所有的人都打起了十二万分的精神，跟着鼓声活动了起来。他们拿着船桨用力地划着，把原本平静的河面割出了一道道水纹。嘹亮的鼓声回荡在这片热闹的土地上。随着时间一分一秒的过去，把比赛拉入了高潮。

鼓手们纷纷使出吃奶的力气，狠狠地锤向了鼓面。而船上的选手也不甘示弱，为了获得更大的动力，他们扬起自己的手臂，向水面划去。溅起了一层层晶莹的水花，水花在空中飞溅，就像是一颗颗钻石在人们的身旁闪烁。一声声响亮的口号从他们的喉咙里传出。虽然早已青筋暴起，但是每一个人都咬紧牙关，目光坚定地朝着终点飞驰而去。观众台上一片沸腾。观众们都坐不住了!各个摇旗呐喊，张大了嘴巴，扯着脖子为选手们加油。

比赛在观众们的呐喊声中进入了尾声。大家纷纷上岸，激动地和伙伴们相拥，这次响彻天际的不是别的，就是他们爽朗的笑声。

端午节，你给了我多少喜悦和欢乐啊，端午节粽飘香，龙舟响当当，吃着香喷喷的粽子，看着精彩的龙舟比赛，我们又度过了一次端午节。

赛龙舟是端午节的一种独特的民俗活动,这个活动的起因是为纪念我国古代时的一伟大的诗人——屈原而设立的。

我今年有幸去看了一次赛龙舟，因为爸爸当天正好有空，所以我们全家去看赛龙舟。到达赛龙舟的场地时，岸两边早已被围观的人们围得水泄不通了，我看了桥上的一个空挡，便叫家人挤了过去。这个位置居高临下整个江面一目了然。

赛龙舟开始了，每只龙舟都像一支离弦的箭，一个劲的向前冲，每一只龙舟下面都都绑着不少粽子，每向前一步，龙舟上都有人用刀子把粽子斩下扔进水里。每只龙舟的速度都不分上下：一会儿1号领先，不一会儿8号又追上了。

突然，划船手好像力气大增，每一只龙舟的速度更快了。这时，击鼓手开始鸣鼓了，划船手顿时很有节奏的跟着喊起：“咚!咚!咚咚咚!嗬!嗬!嗬嗬嗬……”天公也好像来助威，开始下起了毛毛细雨。真是鼓声!人声!助威声!声声震耳!雨水!汗水!江水水水相容!

龙舟的速度越来越快，仿佛龙群在江水中急速飞腾。渐渐的，渐渐的。1号，5号，9号构成了领先集团。100米!50米!20米……终点越来越近，只见5号的力量一发不可收拾的爆发了!把后面的两条龙舟远远地甩在后面，然后冲线了!

赛龙舟真是一项激烈的比赛啊!

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

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。

导语：端午节这一天节日气氛特别浓郁，人们会吃粽子划龙舟，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

《简爱》这本书是我很久以前看的了。最近又看了一遍，要说这本书里面让我感触最深的莫过于简·爱小时候的可怜遭遇，她少年时的坚韧。

我在看见她舅母对待她时恶毒的言语以及她舅母三个儿女的行为，看到简被他们几人欺负，我的眼睛不由得一酸，心也有些疼痛。之后又再次扪心自问：“如果我是简我能坚持么?我能像简那样长大后你不去愤世嫉俗么?”我相信我不会。因为从小我的环境太好了。从小便是在爸爸妈妈爷爷奶奶的宝贝下长大。从没有受过苦，受过累。之后，在一位善意的女仆的帮助下，她去了那所学校。在那所条件艰苦的学校里，简刻苦的学习，她也学得很快。没有抱怨过，只有感觉有些许的宽慰，不知是不是因为在她舅母家的痛苦日子让她感觉现在的生活反而很好。

我两次看到简在学校的日子，总是会放下书静静地想着：简她真的好厉害!在经历了那么不公平的生活后，在那么艰苦的环境下，她仍能保持着心态。就好像之前一切的不幸都是上天对她的考验，考过之后，她从中成长，她的心灵越发的美丽，而不是变的扭曲。这也许就是简的坚强体现吧~若她脆弱那么她就会变成不思进取，厌世的人。

再到之后她的默默离去。她毅然离开了爱德华·罗杰斯特。但是简却在爱德华最窘迫的时候回到他的身边，照顾她，陪伴他。这里，简对爱德华的爱让我感动。

[Mid-Autumn Festival高一年级中秋节英语作文

A Chinese holiday is gaining worldwide popularity

Some holidays are so much fun that they catch on outside of their culture. The most obvious example is probably Christmas, which is celebrated around the world by people who arent even Christian. Similarly, in recent years, the Dragon Boat Festival has moved beyond China to become an international holiday celebrated by people who may know little about the holidays origins.

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of three major Chinese holidays, along with the Spring and Moon Festivals. Of the three, it is possibly the oldest, dating back to the Warring States Period in 227 B.C. The festival commemorates Qu Yuan, a minister in the service of the Chu Emperor. Despairing over corruption at court, Qu threw himself into a river. Townspeople jumped into their boats and tried in vain to save him. Then, hoping to distract hungry fish from his body, the people scattered rice on the water.

Over the years, the story of Qus demise transformed into the traditions of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi – a kind of rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. The races have certainly captured the imagination of people from all over the world. Every spring there are nearly 60 dragon boat races held outside of China in cities from Vancouver to Sydney, from Gdańsk, Poland to Cape Town, South Africa. Canada alone has nearly 50 dragon boat teams and Germany has nearly 30.

So what is it about the Dragon Boat Festival that appeals to foreigners? “Its an unusual sport,” says one racer from Germany. “Its not like everybodys doing it. Thats one of the reasons that theres such great team spirit in a dragon boat team – everybody feels like were doing something special.” And what about the zongzi? “Ehhh, theyre not bad, I guess,” he says. “Something of an acquired taste. I just havent really acquired it yet.”

Once man did not have to think about the protection of his environment。

There were few people on the earth， and natural resources seemed to be

unlimited。

Today things are different。 The world has bee too crowded。 We are using up

our natural resources，and polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals。 If

we continue to do this， human life on earth will not survive。

We realize that if too many fish are taken from the sea， there will soon be

none left。 Yet，with modern fishing methods， more and more fish are caught。We

know that if too many trees are cut down， forests will disappear。 Yet， we

continue to use powerful machines to cut down more and more trees。 We see that

if rivers are polluted with waste products， we will die。 Yet， waste products

are

still put into rivers。

We know that if the population continues to rise at the present rate， in a

few years， there wont be enough food。What can we do to solve these

problems?

If we eat more vegetables and less meat， there will be more food available。

Land for crops feeds five times more people than land where animals are

kept。

Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycie them。

The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods

of birth control。

Finally， if we educate people to think about the problems we shall have a

better and cleaner planet in the future。

端午节，也叫端阳节，是中国的一个传统节日，在农历五月初五。这个节日始于中国的春秋战国时期，已经有很多年的历史了。端午节有许多古老的习俗和传说，每一个习俗都是如此温暖和难忘。真正让我印象深刻的是“纪念楚国大夫屈原”的故事。据说当时屈原被抛入河中后，当地人听到这个消息，立即划船打捞。他们一路划到洞庭湖，再也没有看到屈原的尸体。

那是一个雨天，湖上的船只聚集在岸边的亭子旁边。场面壮观。当人们得知是为了打捞贤臣屈原博士时，又冒雨外出，冲进了茫茫洞庭湖。为了悼念，人们在河上划船，后来逐渐演变成龙舟比赛。人们怕河里的鱼吃了屈原的尸体，就回家拿来饭团放到河里喂鱼。后来，每年五月初五，都有赛龙舟、吃粽子、喝雄黄酒的习俗，以纪念爱国诗人屈原。

家乡的端午节，家家户户都要一大早插艾叶。艾叶是一种常见的植物，生长在野生的田野里，毫不在意，但它郁郁葱葱，生机勃勃，很容易让人想起夏天的野秋菊花。太阳升起前，人们把前一天晚上收集的艾叶放在门口，挂在窗前。且不说可以去瘟疫辟邪，润肺的甜香就像穿越田野的乡风，让老人和孩子都很开心，恋爱中的年轻人也沉醉其中，靠着窗户舍不得离开。

记得小时候在老家，一般端午节前两天就开始包粽子。每年端午节前，河岸两岸到处都是提着小篮子摘粽子叶子的人。在那个季节，在河岸上，有树、绿色植物和许多习俗。收藏宗叶的人们工作着，欣赏着大自然的美景。收集的粽子叶要先在锅里煮，然后用水浸泡，最后一个一个洗。奶奶在洗粽子叶子的时候，已经泡过糯米和红豆了。泡好的米放在一个大盆里，盆旁边放一把木椅，捆好的草就挂在上面，这样就可以挂裹好的粽子了。

奶奶爱端午节，大概是因为这个时候她总能展现自己的才华吧。我迫不及待地想看我奶奶做粽子。我躺在一边看了一下午。看到外婆的皱纹里溢满蜂蜜，我偶尔会偷偷抓几颗蜜枣放进嘴里。我很高兴摘下我的脸颊，用力咀嚼。不知道他们有多甜!

我家乡的端午节是如此充满怀旧和亲情。现在是端午节，我想起了我家乡的艾叶和我奶奶做的粽子。

Teacher, perhaps the two words you have listened to many times, but I still want to say to you: "teacher, thank you!" On the occasion of arrival of teachers day, I will always think of you taught my scenes at ordinary times. When I have trouble, you always took pains to my guidance and help me; When I have a mistake, you will seriously pointed out, and then kindly help me to correct mistakes; When I achieved good grades, you will always be cock thumb, smile with canthus.

Teacher, you are my teacher! You are let me admire, let me progress, let me grow up tutor!

Today was the first day of my new life. I looked at my new books and

checked everything for the new school year. I was excited as well as

worried.

Entering new school, I was curious about everything, new classrooms, new

teachers, new classmates etc. It would be a new start for each student. And what

I was worried about is that I had no friends here. I wondered if no liked to

play with me. Were the teachers strict with students?

I fell relaxed when the teacher asked me, What else could I help you,

freshman?". I found that the teachers were kind and polite, and the classmates

around me were friendly. While I was thinking about how to get on well with my

classmates, my desk mate showed me his favorite Ipad4s. He wanted to play with

me, but I didnt know how to play, so he taught me patiently, and we played

happily.

Worries have gone, and happiness is coming.
