圣诞晚会的活动内容英语作文【精选20篇】

星期四晚上，爸爸带我和妈妈两个人去参加圣诞晚会，我们进去时已是空无虚席了，还好，做为特别的贵宾的我们，总经理已帮我们留了位置。

幸运的是演出还没开始，还是晚餐时间，我拿了两个盘子和一个夹子去夹菜，啊，真丰富啊，大鱼大虾、蛋糕、水果等等。我第一眼就看中了羊肉串，我飞快地夹了10根，火鸡肉又是几块，东夹夹西夹夹，我的两个盘子已满了，我想，过会儿不够了再去夹，然后，拿了一杯苹果汁，回到了座位上。

更幸运的是我刚好赶上了演出，我一坐下来，节目就马上开始了，节目主持人上了台，我第一眼就认出他是电视台，每天晚上播出的“有这种事情的”节目主持人光头小刚，他一上台，就用绍兴土话说了一句：“你们知不知道我是谁，每天主持有这种事情的就是这个人”。说着，他用大拇指，指了指自己，引得我们绍兴人开怀大笑，就连外地人也大笑了起来……。

我终于等到第四个节目，双节棍。一个空手道黑段的演员拿着两个双节棍走上了台。音乐响起，快快使用双节棍……。那位演员随曲舞起了他的两个双节棍，他动作纯熟，双节棍在他的腰间臂间飞快的舞动，真有李小龙当年的风范。

惊心动魂的时候到了，开始抽奖了，三第奖，五位一张房卡，二等奖两位：一辆自行车。一等奖一位：一台手提电脑!可惜我一个都没中。晚宴在热闹的氛围中结束。

12月25日，它迈着轻盈的步子，悄悄地来到森林。森林里一派热闹的样子。小兔子正在准备办一个圣诞晚会呢!

瞧，她忙得满头大汗的。在屋子中心，小兔子摆上了一棵绿油油的圣诞树。亮晶晶的小球，红红的许愿袜，五彩的魔术棒，有趣的圣诞老人，洁白的小雪人……点缀着这棵圣诞树，像穿上了一身花衣服。

围着这棵圣诞树，小白兔又摆上了一张张桌子，上面放着丰盛的食物，真让人眼馋。

所有的地方都装饰好了，接下来该请几位朋友一起来玩了。小兔子给大象哥哥、熊猫弟弟打了电话，告诉他们六点来参加。

六点到了，大象哥哥和熊猫弟弟准时来到现场。小兔子开心地说：“欢迎你们，首先，我们来做游戏吧!”

“yes!”

欢乐的音乐响起，他们手拉手跳起舞来。扭扭屁股，变变腰!点点头，微微笑!他们玩得可开心了。

小老鼠坏坏被吸引了过来，它悄悄来到桌子的角落，看着他们，叹了口气，说：“他们为什么不和我玩？”

突然，一股香味钻进了他的鼻子，他闻着气味，偷偷地爬到了桌子上。“哇!”一盆丰盛的食物在他眼前，坏坏抵不住诱惑，拿起一盆就飞快地跑了。

小白兔、大象哥哥和熊猫弟弟玩累了，肚子饿得“咕咕”叫。于是，他们就来到桌子前，坐了下来。

“咦，我的食物呢？”小兔子奇怪地问。

“不会没有东西吧？”大象哥哥和熊猫弟弟把头凑在了桌前，果然，桌上什么也没有。

“一定是坏坏干的!”他们三人肯定地说。

“那么，现在我们来做一回‘现世特警‘，来抓住这个小偷，拿回我的食物!”

说完，他们就向坏坏家“进军”。

“砰”的一声，坏坏家的门被撞开了。“现世特警”们看见了正在津津有味地吃食物的坏坏，连他们来了也不知道。

“嘿嘿，果然是他，大象哥哥，教训他一下。”小白兔恶狠狠地说。

“好”

大象哥哥飞快地走出门，来到小河边，用他的长鼻子吸了一大堆水，来到坏坏跟前，“啪”的地怕，把清水都喷在了他脸上。坏坏一下子跳了起来，举起小拳头就要打。

“你为什么偷我的食物，为什么不和我说。”小白兔火冒三丈。

“我……我看见你们玩得那么开心，很羡慕。然后，又闻到了一股香味，就爬上桌子，拿……拿了食物。”坏坏低下了头，“我知道，那是不应该的，对不起，小白兔，对不起。”

小白兔听了，心中的怒火减少了一些，她心平气和地说：“坏坏，你想参加，我们热烈欢迎。你想吃东西，我们也会做给你吃。但是，做啥事都要光明正大，绝不能偷偷摸摸的。以后别再那样了，好吗？”

“好，我以后不再这样了。”

小白兔开心地笑了，说：“这盘食物就送给你了，我们也该走了。”说完，转过身和大象哥哥、熊猫弟弟一起回家了。

今年的圣诞，坏坏懂得了一个道理，从此以后再也没做过坏事。是的，别人的东西不能随便拿，否则会变成小偷哦!

12月20日，也就是昨天，我受邀去了楼睿妍家参加圣诞晚会。

圣诞节是西方的节日，即耶稣诞生的日子。在这个日子里，每家每户都会在家中安置一棵圣诞树，圣诞树上挂满了饰物。

晚上，我六点钟准时到达了灯火通明的楼睿妍家。

我去的时候，大多数人都提前到了，楼睿妍家看来对这次圣诞晚会的准备非常充分：茶几上有草莓，香蕉等水果和不少零食，桌上摆着礼物，饮料，披萨等食物，电视里播放着歌曲《铃儿响叮当》。

我刚一进来，就被他们吓了一大跳：一“堆”人在沙发上一边吃东西一边聊天，另一“堆”人使劲地敲着被里面的人锁住的门，撞开门后，我悄悄地进去，只见这里又分成了两拨：一拨人哈哈地笑着，欺负另一拨可怜的人。突然，我汗毛倒竖，一种害怕之感从心底油然而生，因为，从黑黑的床底下，伸出了一只诡异的手！尽管吓了一大跳，但我还是蹲下来，小心地往床下一看——嗬，原来是我们班的前任班长躲在床下装死呢，因为他属于弱势，只好用这个办法咯。

吃蛋糕和比萨饼之后，是抽奖游戏。我们先玩击鼓传花。楼睿妍妈妈放弃了一段优美的古筝音乐，在和谐柔美的音乐声中，一根皮带在我们的手中传了一圈又一圈……突然，柔美的音乐声消失了！而那根皮带……竟然在我手中！

耶！可以参与抽奖了哦！原来抽奖游戏的规则是这样的：通过击鼓传花选出六位幸运的人，这些人中，会有一个最幸运的人获得一等奖，奖品是一棵打扮得绚丽多彩的小圣诞树（我没有），二等奖有两名同学，奖品乃可爱的圣诞娃娃也（此乃本人没有的物品也乎）。三等奖奖品是笔袋1个。

下一个是看动作猜成语（四个字）。先是沈潘妮，只见她怒目圆睁，使劲地瞪着王子轩，把他都盯毛了，我们猜了好久，都没有猜到，结果只好揭晓答案：怒目而视。

轮到我表演时，我用手比划了一口井的样子，然后，蹲在这个“井”底部，摆好一直青蛙的样子，跳来跳去，还叫着“呱，呱，呱”，这个其实很简单，但是，各种答案都来了：本来“坐井观天”已经很接近了，却连什么“排山倒海”、“青蛙呱呱叫”都来了，尤其是“青蛙呱呱叫”，太奇葩了吧！最后，还是张天乐一语道中：井底之蛙。最后我们还和装扮成圣诞老人的楼睿妍爸爸合了影呢！

正玩得开心，妈妈来电话叫我回家了，我就带着些许遗憾离开了充满我们笑声的楼睿妍家。

the chinese new year is now popularly known as the spring festival because it starts from the begining of spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coodination with the changes of nature). its origin is too old to be traced. several explanations are hanging around. all agree, however, that the word nian, which in modern chinese solely means year, was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.

one legend goes that the beast nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. people were very scared. one day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue nian. to nian he said, i hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents? so, it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harrassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.

About the Christmas.

“December”,a special days for western contries,is full of happiness because of Christmas.

Some of us like the western contries’festivals,actually,some western contries’festivals are popular for us,such as Christmas.People all over the world have ways to make Christmas fun.It is a time for winter pleasures and traditions and for spending quality time with friends and family. Traditions vary from place to place,but one thing is for sure----Christmas is a great time for a festival!

One of the best places to enjoy the fun of winter festivals is in Belgium,especially it’s capital,Brussels.This is where the famous Winter Wonder festival takes place every year. For most people,Christmas is a time to relax in the company of family and friends.But for Santa Claus,and the thousandsof fake Santas who imfersonate him every year,the Christmas season is time to get to work.

Although Santa Claus waits until Christmas Eve to take his famous sleigh ride,Santa impersonators can be found at shopping malls around America throughout the six weeks leading up to December 25th.

When you see Santa taking with kids at you local mall,that’s know Christmas really is on the way.With the excitement of Christmas,people forget about the real people behind the red robes and white beards.But being a mall Santa is a tough job.There is more to it than just sitting in a chair,there is more to it than just a red suit.Children can can really put the wear and tear on you.

A recent survey showed some of the challenges that mall Santas face every year.About 90 percent of Santas claimed that children pulled their beards to see if they were real.60 percent of Santas said that up to ten kids cough or sneeze on them every day.Even more disturbing,one—third of the Santas admit to having children wet themselves while sitting on their legs.So why would someone take this job?For Ben Brauch,a retired high school teacher who has worked as a Santa for the last six years,his answer is simple----only for the children.

He see maybe 12,000 kids in a six weeks period,it’s hard work,but it’s worth because you get to play with kids in his eyes.In fact,Brauch loves his job so much that he keeps his white beard long all year.

Christmas is a great time for a festival!

感恩节的由来可以追溯到美国历史的发端，起源于马萨诸塞普利茅斯的早期移民。这些移民在英国本土时被称为清教徒，因为他们对英国教会的宗教改革不彻底感到不满，以及英王及英国教会对他们的政治镇压和宗教迫害，所以这些清教徒脱离英国教会，远走荷兰，后来决定迁居到大西洋彼岸那片荒无人烟的土地上，希望能按照自己的意愿信教自由地生活。

1620年，著名的“五月花”号船满载不堪忍受英国国内宗教迫害的清教徒102人到达美洲。1620年和1621年之交的冬天，他们遇到了难民送来了生活必需品，还特地派人教他们怎样狩猎、捕鱼和种植玉米、南瓜。在印第安人的帮助下，移民们终于获得了丰收，在欢庆丰收的日子，按照宗教传统习俗，移民规定了感谢上帝的日子，并决定为感谢印第安人的真诚帮助，邀请他们一同庆祝节日。

“叮铃铃……”我们早已期盼的上课铃响起，这节课是英语课，以前很多人都不想上英语课，这次为什么期盼已久呢?因为我们要举行圣诞联欢会。

同学们也是“装备齐全”，什么奶糖、瓜子、花生，还有圣诞老人的帽子和气球，黑板上画着圣诞老人，写着“圣诞联欢会”。

王老师示意我和崔冰彤两位主持人联欢会正式开始。几个“机灵鬼”溜到讲台上，放起了《铃儿响叮当》。随着音乐的响起，同学们有的边唱，边将糖果撒向空中，一大群人争先恐后的跳起来接;有的则边唱便挥舞着手中的气球棒;还有的扭起屁股来。欢快的气氛感染了每个人，“糖雨”不断地下着，歌声和惊叹声融为一体。

欢乐的气氛持续了五分钟，我站在讲台上高声喊道：“下面请亓已好、关毅卓、程迪为大家表演《猴子与鸭子的对话》。”话音刚落，她们仨伴着掌声走上台。也许同学们太激动、太高兴了，只在下面忙活自己和别人的“交易”：“来，这是我给你的贺卡。”“我送你个礼物。”“给你个好东西，看看。”……都没顾得上看节目。

“注意了，下面是个好节目。”崔冰彤略带神秘的说道，大家立刻静了下来，一种使人兴奋的音乐响了起来。

葛正身穿运动服，走着模特步，双手掐着腰，向讲台走过来。闪光灯一个接一个，同学们纷纷向空中撒彩纸片;李梦圆则戴着一副墨镜，也是走着模特步上来了，摆着造型，掌声一阵接着一阵。

我把刘泽鹏叫到一边，让他带上气球帽和鬼面具，我把圣诞帽和盖电脑的红布拿上，叫刘泽鹏披上红布，趴在我背上两脚抬起。一切准备就绪，我背着刘泽鹏走过过道，就像一个圣诞老人背着礼物包走过。我不停的吆喝：“送礼物啦!送礼物啦!”果然有人上当，当他准备掀开红布时，刘泽鹏一个转身，他脸上带的鬼脸吓了那个同学一大跳，旁边的同学忍不住笑了起来。

笑声充满了教室，“叮铃铃……”下课铃响了，圣诞联欢会结束了，我多么希望以后多举行一些这样的联欢会。

The word itself, "Halloween," actually has its origins in the Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted corruption of All Hallows Eve. November 1, "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day"), is a Catholic day of observance in honor of saints. But, in the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31. The holiday was called Samhain (sow-en), the Celtic New year.

One story says that, on that day, the disembodied spirits of all those who had died throughout the preceding year would come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year. It was believed to be their only hope for the afterlife. The Celts believed all laws of space and time were suspended during this time, allowing the spirit world to intermingle with the living.

Naturally, the still-living did not want to be possessed. So on the night of October 31, villagers would extinguish the fires in their homes, to make them cold and undesirable. They would then dress up in all manner of ghoulish costumes and noisily paraded around the neighborhood, being as destructive as possible in order to frighten away spirits looking for bodies to possess.

Probably a better explanation of why the Celts extinguished their fires was not to discourage spirit possession, but so that all the Celtic tribes could relight their fires from a common source, the Druidic fire that was kept burning in the Middle of Ireland, at Usinach.

Some accounts tell of how the Celts would burn someone at the stake who was thought to have already been possessed, as sort of a lesson to the spirits. Other accounts of Celtic history debunk these stories as myth.

The Romans adopted the Celtic practices as their own. But in the first century AD, Samhain was assimilated into celebrations of some of the other Roman traditions that took place in October, such as their day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple, which might explain the origin of our modern tradition of bobbing for apples on Halloween.

The thrust of the practices also changed over time to become more ritualized. As belief in spirit possession waned, the practice of dressing up like hobgoblins, ghosts, and witches took on a more ceremonial role.

The custom of Halloween was brought to America in the 1840s by Irish immigrants fleeing their countrys potato famine. At that time, the favorite pranks in New England included tipping over outhouses and unhinging fence gates.

The custom of trick-or-treating is thought to have originated not with the Irish Celts, but with a ninth-century European custom called souling. On November 2, All Souls Day, early Christians would walk from village to village begging for "soul cakes," made out of square pieces of bread with currants. The more soul cakes the beggars would receive, the more prayers they would promise to say on behalf of the dead relatives of the donors. At the time, it was believed that the dead remained in limbo for a time after death, and that prayer, even by strangers, could expedite a souls passage to heaven.

The Jack-o-lantern custom probably comes from Irish folklore. As the tale is told, a man named Jack, who was notorious as a drunkard and trickster, tricked Satan into climbing a tree. Jack then carved an image of a cross in the trees trunk, trapping the devil up the tree. Jack made a deal with the devil that, if he would never tempt him again, he would promise to let him down the tree.

According to the folk tale, after Jack died, he was denied entrance to Heaven because of his evil ways, but he was also denied access to Hell because he had tricked the devil. Instead, the devil gave him a single ember to light his way through the frigid darkness. The ember was placed inside a hollowed-out turnip to keep it glowing longer.

The Irish used turnips as their "Jacks lanterns" originally. But when the immigrants came to America, they found that pumpkins were far more plentiful than turnips. So the Jack-O-Lantern in America was a hollowed-out pumpkin, lit with an ember.

So, although some cults may have adopted Halloween as their favorite "holiday," the day itself did not grow out of evil practices. It grew out of the rituals of Celts celebrating a new year, and out of Medieval prayer rituals of Europeans. And today, even many churches have Halloween parties or pumpkin carving events for the kids. After all, the day itself is only as evil as one cares to make it.

"We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas"Have you heard that song? Yup! Its Christmas time! This Christmas, I stayed with my "host family"1. It was an amazing experience to see how a typical American family would celebrate the biggest western festival of the year.

Christmas, like our Spring Festival, has a meaning in itself. Christmas Day, which is on December 25, is the birthday of Jesus Christ--the son of God. Thats why it is called Christmas. On that day, Christians would get together with their families to celebrate the birthday of Jesus. But nowadays, the religious meaning of Christmas has become less emphasized. To many families, it is just a time of family reunion and the ever-exciting present-giving.

Our school had been on winter vacation since December 11. I stayed at my friend, Stephen Stapczynskis house--his family was my "host family". Although Christmas was still more than ten days ahead, the festive spirit had already been teeming everywhere. The Christmas tree had already been set up, and on every windowsill, there were Christmas lights. On the first day I arrived at their house, Stephen and I helped Mrs. Stapczynski put decorations on the Christmas tree. The tree looked so nice with all the lights on and the beautiful ornaments dangling from its branches.

As Christmas came closer, the whole neighborhood had made preparations too. Some people would hold parties at their houses, inviting all their neighbors to come. So every night, if you went out, you would see a long line of cars parked in front of some house--a partys on!

Whats more, the Christmas decorations that some people put on their windows and in gardens were just amazing. On one night, we went out in our car for a "tour of lights". There was one street that was so famous for its lights that it got its way into the local paper. We had a hard time finding the well-hidden street, but it turned out to be worth the effort. Lights shone brightly in front of nearly every house, on trees, bushes, doors, windowseverywhere, taking different shapes, making it seem almost like daytime. Huge inflatable figures in the front gardens were waving to us: there were Santa Clauses2, of course, chuckling merrily away; and there were also other Christmas figures, like Rudolph3--the red-nosed reindeer--with his red nose gleaming ever so brightly; even Bart Simpson--a character in the famous comedy The Simpsons--had joined the jolly party, wearing a Santas hat. The street set off a lot of "ooh"s and "aah"s inside the car.4 When we left, there was a line of cars in the street, all there to see the lights.

Christmas is the time for exchanging presents. Stephen and Niko had been thinking about their Christmas lists (a list of things they wish "Santa"to give them for Christmas) for a long time. I didnt want to ask for anything, but the Stapczynskis were so kind to "force"me make one list as well (Mr. Stapczynski told me if I didnt make one he would chop off my legs). So I wrote down a couple of things that I would like to have, and gave the list to them--sorry, my mistake--to Santa.

Finally, Christmas Eve came. There was a special Christmas service at the church at 6 p.m. It was certainly a very interesting experience for me. The priest started the service reading and sang out extractions from a holy book--The Divine Liturgy. For several times, we would stand up and pray.

Sometimes, the church choir would start singing. The atmosphere was very quiet and holy. Then there was a ceremony called "The Receiving Communion". People waited in line to "receive"a spoonful of food from the priest. It was a very special Christmas tradition. The food was made from bread and wine. The bread represents the body of Jesus, and the wine represents his blood. After this ceremony, the priest had a speech. He reminded us not to forget the true meaning of Christmas, and let Jesus really live inside us--that is, to love the people around us wholeheartedly. I think that no matter if you are a Christian or not, this principle should be part of our lives. After the priest finished his speech, the part that I enjoyed most came: Christmas carols5. Christmas carols are songs that people sing at Christmas, such as "Jingle Bells", "We Wish You a Merry Christmas", "Silent Night"and so on. Some were very merry, others sounded quite holy, but all of them were beautiful. I closed my eyes, and let all the peacefulness and happiness that were in the songs flow through me. What a feeling it was!

We went to sleep earlier that day for we had to get up early on Christmas Day to open our presents. Sure enough, when I was still half-way during a sweet dream, Stephen burst into my room and told me to get up and open presents. There were a huge pile of presents under the Christmas tree, and there was such a mysterious mist shrouding them that made me eager to see what they all were. So one by one, we went through all the presents. Mr. and Mrs. Stapczynski had bought me everything I had written on my Christmas list--and a lot more! I got music CDs, film DVDs, clothes, books I was very happy, and I didnt know how to express my appreciation for what they had done for me.

Stephen and Niko had gotten a lot of presents too, and they had already been trying out their new games!

In the afternoon, we went to Mrs. Stapczynskis brother, Uncle Stans house. They had prepared a marvelous meal for us. A lot of their friends and relatives also came. I saw Stephen and Nikos grandparents, Yiayia and Papou (words of grandma and grandpa in Greek--Mrs. Stapczynskis parents came from Greece, so they like the boys using Greek words to call them). They were very kind to me, and treated me just like one of their family members. We had a very luxurious meal, consisting of turkey, beef, pork, and all sorts of other food.

After the meal, when all the stomachs were full and everyone was feeling drowsy6 from all the food, we just sat around the table and chatted, just like what we Chinese people do at the Spring Festival. After all, Christmas, like the Spring Festival, is a time for us to get away from our busy lives, a time for family gathering, and a time to have some fun.

圣诞节到来，我要去参加圣诞晚会了!这次可不是一般的圣诞晚会，傍晚六点正可是有一百多人参加呢!

我刚进会场门口，看见全场人都在看电影，过了一会，王老板上台演讲，说：“今天是圣诞节，我们希望你们能过的开心，接下来我们来玩一个游戏。”王老板告诉大家玩法，游戏开始了，大家互相找对手猜拳，我正在想：今天的“龙头”是谁呢?应该是我吧!我在一旁沾沾自喜，一会答案公布出来了，“可惜啊!”我自言自语说，“本来应该是我，可是差一点点啊!”接下有几个香港人和两个工人一起表演扇舞，她们个个都眉飞色舞 ，一下往这边转，一下往那边转，表演完后观众们响起雷鸣般的掌声，轮到我们表演了，我带队，弹吉它的哥哥弹起了美妙的旋律，我们也伴随着音乐放开歌喉，全场人都陶醉在我们的歌声中，那是除了我们的歌声外再也没有别的声音了，我们快唱完了，我带头像全场人微笑鞠躬，全场人都站起来致敬，我和旁边两个朋友都让苏姑娘给我们带上花圈，我不禁举起手中的礼物，连声说：“谢谢大家!”到了最后一个节目了，几个代表上去抽奖，谁被抽中就可以获得香港基督教的礼物，抽了十多个人以后，我紧张起来了：怎么还没有到我呢?我可能不会被抽中，上几次抽奖都没抽中，难道这次也要这样?不会把!我听到有人喊：“六十九号，小华，。”我高兴得一蹦三尺高。

八点半，我代表老板宣布：“晚会结束!”大家都恋恋不舍地离开了会场，会场又恢复了了平静，看，这就是香港基督徒给我们带来的快乐!

Christmas Miracles Christmas is atime for miracles.It is also atime when the dull things of daily life and the forecast of human hature gives way to aspiritual awakening.Allow me to share with you one truly wonder of Christmas.

Our miracle story comes from an incident that occurred in Flanders,Belgium,at the dawn of World War I.On December 24th,1914,German and English troops faced each other from the relative safety of their ditches across which no mans land lying between them.Suddenly,the silence was broken,not by gunfire,but by the strains of Silent Night arising from the German position.It wasnt long before the English troops responded with aYuletide hymn of their own.Then an amazing sight surprised the eyes of the English soldiers.A German soldier holding asmall tree arranged with lighted candles began to walk across the land toward the English lines.This miraculous scene occasioned the declaration of atruce followed by English and German troo ps greeting one another,exchanging small gifts and singing songs of Christmas.Word of this incredible phenomenon reached the High Command of both sides.

On Christmas Day,both armies moved from their positions to engage in the killing of war at other battlefields.However,on Christmas Eve 1914on afield in Flanders,there was Peace on Earth.

Christmas is atruly amazing phenomenon.The day and season perpetuate amiraculous,historical event as an annual presence that challenges an often rough,cruel,and egotistical creature--the human being--to become open and amenable to their Creators vision.The great miracle of Christmas continues in the performance of humane acts,moral honesty,and in the spiritual awareness of millions struggling to lead alife of grace.

Campus activities have been organized in many universities and colleges。 These activities range from academic to recreational， such as academic reports， social consulting services， speech contests， poet’s club， painting clubs， singing and dancing groups， etc。

These activities provide students with two major advantages。 First of all， they play a positive role in improving students’ studies。 Due to their heavy schedules， students are often busy themselves with textbooks and seldom expose themselves to a colorful life。 But the variety of the activities provides opportunities for them to relax themselves and enrich their minds and knowledge。 In addition， the activities also serve students living in the “ivory tower” have little chance to get in touch with society。 Now the activities open the door for participants to leave their classrooms and get to know society。

All this offers an important means for students to broaden their horizons。 They believe with the right kind of guidance and help campus activities will continue to grow and flourish。

上周，是我们学校的第二届英语活动周。在这一周里，英语活动内容可谓是丰富多彩：手抄报比赛、指手画脚猜单词、书写比赛等大大激发了我们学英语、用英语的兴趣。可令我最难忘的要数周五下午的游园活动了。

中午吃完饭，老师们把精心准备的各种道具准备好后，游园活动就开始了。同学们个个兴奋不已，笑嘻嘻地穿梭于各个教室。刹那间，整幢教学楼变成了欢乐的海洋。

听说“希腊”（403班）的“点蜡烛”好玩又简单，我便和好朋友金宇虹手拉手一起去碰碰运气。一到那儿，一条“长龙”即映入眼帘，看来这个项目很受同学们的欢迎。我们随着人流走进了龙尾行列。慢慢地，我们进入了龙头的行列。我伸头前望，只见一个瘦小的女孩一下子就点燃了三根蜡烛而顺利通关了。“这个游戏的确挺简单的嘛！通关对于我来说应该不成问题。”于是，我信心十足地站在队中，不时向前移动着脚步。就在快轮到我时，一种莫名的担忧涌上心头：万一我动作慢了烧到手怎么办？同学们会不会笑话我呀？“快，轮到你了。”金宇虹对我说。我猛地回过神来，接过火柴，闪亮登场。“哧——”火柴擦着了，我急忙将火柴移向蜡烛。可是这火苗像故意跟我作对似的，东躲西藏，就是不和烛芯亲热。无奈，最后以失败而告终。我定了定神，又擦燃了第二根。这次我吸取教训，放慢了速度。谁知，这“熊熊大火”还没等到我移向蜡烛已经亲吻了我的手指，我只好大叫着将它扔到了地上。此刻，我狼狈极了，但为了尊严故作镇定。我又擦燃了第三根、第四根……时间到了，最终我只点燃了一支蜡烛！看来，不论何时都不能轻信别人的话，只有亲身下河才能知深浅，只有亲口尝梨才能之酸甜呐！

离开那伤心地，我来到了“西班牙斗牛场”（自己班教室），争取在这里找回点自信。瞧，赛场上那些瘦骨嶙峋的“牛”一下子就被那些膘肥体壮的“牛”撞出圈外，直接淘汰出局。此时，我暗下决心：只能成功，不许失败！

因为这里排队的人不多，所以很快就轮到我了。看到对手，我不由得松了一口气，因为跟我斗的是503班的一头瘦弱的“小牛”。我们的决斗一开始他就向我发起猛攻。他的腿真硬啊，撞在我的腿上犹如硬石砸落下来。我不甘示弱，双手牢牢地抱着脚，谨慎地周旋着，一旦抓住时机就凶猛地进行反击，非要和他拼个你死我活不可！慢慢地，他支持不住了，只好向我投降。“呜呼，我赢了！”我开心地大叫起来。同时，我也悟出了一个道理：在“战场”上，要智取，不可蛮斗。

后来，我又去玩了“跳麻袋”、“金字塔”、“踢足球”……每项活动都很好玩，都带给了我不同的体验。

这次的游园活动令我终生难忘，因为我们在玩游戏的同时学到了不少知识，也懂得了不少道理！

今天王晨曦请我去参加花家坝举办的圣诞节晚会。

我来到教室里。哇!那里好不热闹!所有的小朋友都在玩。有的在玩捉迷藏，有的在绘画，还有的在老鹰捉小鸡的游戏。

叮铃铃一声清脆的上课铃声打断了我的思想，我迅速回到教室等待着老师上课。首先两位主持人上台，对我们说有一位魔术师有请他上台。上台的是一位小男孩。他一边做动作一边解说。每一个小朋友都听得津津有味。等他下台时四周响起了热烈的掌声。接着传来一声优美清脆的古筝声。原来是一位小女孩在上面演奏。她下台的时候我们都纷纷鼓掌，我拍得手都红了。下面是王晨曦和她的朋友表演英语儿歌，我和王晨曦上台表演了一首英语儿歌。下面是竖笛表演.....

掌声连绵不断，此起彼伏。老师开始颁发丰富的奖品。老师先拿出一些糖果扔向我们，我们争先恐后互不相让。接着老师又扔了一些卡通口罩，我们一拥而上，抢到的兴高采烈，没有抢到的灰心丧气。

老师又拿了两个漂亮的耳罩分别颁给了刚才两个表演精彩的同学。

圣诞晚会快要结束的时候老师放起了圣诞歌和我们一起手拉手跳起了优美的舞蹈......晚会一结束我就带着礼物高高兴兴地回家了。

我想：这个圣诞节可能是我最难忘的吧!

期盼已久的圣诞节终于来临了，报告厅里人山人海，热闹非凡，小演员们坐在位子上迫不及待的想要上舞台展示自己的才华。我的心情非常的紧张，好像再紧张一点心就要蹦出来了似的。

轮到我们了，当活泼可爱的小白兔蹦蹦跳跳地退场后，功夫熊猫就踢着腿上台表演柔中带刚的太极拳，又突然跳起了时尚的街舞，到我们表演了，我们有条不紊地走上舞台开始表演。“一二三四五六七八，二二三四...”我们时而跳跃拍手，时而转圈。跳舞完了，我才觉得，原来并不是那么紧张。

接下来我们还看了许多表演:有卖火柴的小女孩，朗读，还有外国朋友表演的圣诞歌，凉爽和她的朋友带来的拉丁舞，时尚的时装秀R26;R26;R26;最有意义的是外国朋友唱的圣诞歌了，这样不仅增加了我们的友谊，也促进了中外关系。

最好看的就是拉丁舞了，她们穿着华丽的衣裙，给我们带来了美丽的舞蹈。

最时尚的莫属时装秀了，表演的同学们穿着各种各样的衣服，有的帅气，有的漂亮。他们走到台前做出各种姿势。给我们印象最深的是拿着呼啦圈的五个女同学，她们走到台前，用呼啦圈拼出奥运五环的形状。圣诞节真好，让我们期盼下个圣诞节吧!

这是一年一度的节日，是人们狂欢的节日，没错，这就是圣诞节!

下午开了一个联欢会，不算太开心，也不能说开心，就是一些跟上次儿童节联欢会差不多，一开始弄个场地，然后开始让麦亦来跳拉丁舞，然后什么‘板凳舞’，接着让黄嘉艺、郑源、王珏等总共五位同学玩抢位置，赏罚分明，最后问问题，就是让甲问乙任何问题，但是不能太过分的，最后在大家的笑声结束了。。。 。。。接着放学了，我们还是去打篮球，打完篮球，等颜志伟他们一起参加圣诞会，当然先去吃饺子，每人自费买三块的馄饨，还买了些蒸饺，泽鹏他说没人花二块买两笼子蒸饺，正当我要掏钱时，泽鹏说你不用了，突然，我心中有股丝丝感动，有点想哭，不是泽鹏叫我不用费二块我才感动，不是这样的，是我感到泽鹏对我的一种无形的关怀，一种说不清的感受;前些阵子，泽鹏他说圣诞节下午要去过圣诞会，吃KFC什么的，问我去不去，我只能带些歉意的说：“饿，我没钱啊。。。 。。。”

泽鹏他说可以向家长拿钱嘛，我说奶奶很省的，不可能。。。 。。。而且我中午每天去姑姑吃饭，只能陪泽鹏走一小段路，泽鹏问我为什么每天中午去姑姑家，我也回答了，可能就是为什么他这么说的原因了吧?接下来回家放完书包集合一起玩抓人，然后玩滑板和羽毛球，还碰上了周婷婷和邱雅泳说是去下面打羽毛球，我不知道，继续狂练滑板，我休息时才知道大家‘失踪’了!诶!好像他们要去哪里?郑源家?我狂喊‘许泽鹏’我下去一楼，想打给赵宇航家问下赵宇航的手机号码找他们，赵宇航家没人，我上去三楼找‘线索’碰上吴仔，一说，真晕啊，他们去一楼了啊!

大家也在找我啊，也谢谢大家的关心!然后就是打羽毛球，玩滑板，那些女生说是要找颜艾琳，好像他的两个弟弟也来了接下来玩喷雪，我好惨啊，成了雪人了都，然后是玩摔炮，邱雅泳被‘炸’哭了，也不清楚是谁，期间颜艾琳他弟弟也失踪了，原来上去了啊，把他弟弟给训哭了。总之就是这些事，对了，我不会滑板，我狂练，加起来差不多有四十分钟了，我学会了上板，就是不会平衡、转弯，好羡慕郑源，滑板技术那么高超。。。 。。。

最后九点半大家解散，这一天就这么结束了，说不清楚是该悲还是欢，都有吧?!最后说一句：“祝大家圣诞节快乐!”

Christmas Day

Ah! Christmas morning! Children like to wake up early while its still dark and sneak into the living room to check the presents----find any with their name on it, shake them to guess whats inside, and then maybe theyll go back to bed and pretend they are still asleep when their parents come to wake them with a "Merry Christmas!"

But almost no one I know gets completely dressed or eats a regular breakfast first thing Christmas morning. They just put on a robe or wear their pajamas and go to see whats under the Christmas tree. Some Christian families have a tradition of reading the Bible story of Jesus birth. Maybe its to remind the children that Christmas is Jesus birthday.

Someone will begin to take the presents out from under the tree, see whose name is on the package, and then pass them around. Some families wait until all the presents have been given out before opening any of them, while others open each one as it comes to them. There are many "thank you" to the ones who gave the gifts, new clothes are tried on to see if they fit, and of course the most interesting toys will immediately be played with.

Usually among the Christmas gifts will be some especially delicious candy or cake or cookies which everyone tastes. These sweet things may be the only breakfast many people eat Christmas morning. After the gifts have been opened, the room will be tidied up except where the children are playing with their toys. Everyone will wash and get dressed for the day.

Some people may go to a Christmas morning church service around ten oclock if their church didnt have one on Christmas Eve. But most people will just watch TV. Well, most men will. The children may play outside or inside with their new toys, but the mothers will be in the kitchen preparing Christmas Dinner.
