今天是美好的圣诞节平安夜。一放学，我就和同学一起蹦蹦跳跳地回家去。

一到家，爸爸就告诉我，今天和叔叔阿姨去外面的饭店吃饭，我听了,高兴得更加起劲的蹦了。不过妈妈还没回来，所以得等妈妈回家了一起去。

过了一会，妈妈回到家了,我就催着爸爸拉着妈妈出门去了。一路上,我看到今晚行人的脸上都洋溢着笑脸,给人一种详和,温馨的感觉.走到国际大厦的门口就感觉到一股暖流,玻璃门外寒风刺骨,推门进入温暖如春。大厦里的圣诞老人不停地向我们招手.圣诞树那翠绿的树枝上面挂满了千盏完盏五彩缤纷的彩灯.一闪一闪眨着闪亮的眼睛。

一进大厦,我就直奔2楼,西餐厅里回旋着一首圣诞歌,歌声悠扬,让心情舒畅.墙上挂者一张和蔼可亲的圣诞老人的照片。叔叔阿姨已经先到了，我和爸爸妈妈走过去，和他们打招呼，然后坐下来，大家好象是一个大家庭。

没过多长时间,那些美味可口的菜就来了。一见那香喷喷的鸭肉,我再也控制不住自己,狼吞虎咽地吃起来，等我吃完以后,贪玩的我和许多小朋友在国际大厦跑来跑去,跑上跑下,一会儿去看那和蔼可亲的圣诞老人,一会去看那些闪着五彩缤纷光芒的圣诞树，真是好玩极了。

我爱圣诞节!

My school is at Haimen Town. It is very big and beautiful. There are forty-three classes in it. When you come to our school, you can see the modern teaching building. Our teachers work and do practice in it. Behind the building, there are two classroom buildings and a school library. In the library there are thousands and thousands of books. After class you can borrow the books you want and also you can read them in the reading room at any time. Beside our classroom, there is a big playground. At about 4:30 p.m. every day, many students play football, basketball and some of them play tennis. All the playground is alive.

Our school is a model school in Jiangsu. I like my school very much.

This morning I get up, I heard dad shouted: "snow, what a big snow!" I dont believe at first, I looked out of the window, if its snowing, I was immediately fascinated by the beautiful scenery and see all the scenery is so beautiful outside, white printed deep shallow footprints on the ground.

Walk on my way to school, I raised his head and looked at the sky, snow, clouds, swirl falls, many light snow HuaChao, I fell on my cute little face. Snowflakes drifting into the trees, the ground and the roof, I stretch my hands to pick up the white angel, but snowflakes fall on me on the double "claws" into the water.

At noon after school, still swirl of snow, I saw, the grass on the ground, like a big, big bed on the shop of white bed, covered all of the original things, I see the dry leaves on the tree, dragging pieces of cotton in the snow, like carrying countless cream cake and cotton candy, really want to have a bite. Snow is like a butterfly dancing in the air. Remind me of "the snow" lesson learned in the text inside the sentences. "In the winter, the sky floating snow, blanket, covered with snow the tree is covered with silver, a piece of white everywhere."

Under the heavy snow didnt stop until after school in the afternoon, a day after a beautiful world? Sky blue, silvery white Snow White heads, students make a snowman, snowball fights on the snow, everybody laughed, play of very happy. I want to say to snow: "thank you for your beautiful, bring you happiness."

今天早晨我一起床，就听见爸爸大声喊：“下雪啦，好大的雪啊!”起初我还不相信，我向窗外望去，果真下雪了，我立刻被眼前的美景迷住了，只见外面的一切景物都变得那么美丽，雪白的地上印出深深浅浅的脚印。

走在上学的路上，我抬起头，望着天空，雪花一朵朵，一团团，纷纷扬扬飘落下来，许多小雪花朝我扑面而来，落在我那可爱的小脸上。雪花飘到树上、地上、房顶上，我伸出双手去接这洁白的天使，可是雪花一落到我这双“魔爪”上就化成了水。

中午放学后，大雪还纷纷扬扬的下着，我看见地上、草地上，就像铺上了一床很大很大的白被子，把原来的东西全盖住了，我看到树上干树叶上，拖着一朵朵棉花一样的雪，就像捧着无数个奶油蛋糕和棉花糖，真想咬一口。雪花还像蝴蝶在空中飞舞。让我想到了课文里学到的《看雪》一课里面的句子。“冬天，天上飘着雪花，地上铺着雪毯，树上披着银装，到处一片洁白。”

大雪下了一天直到下午放学后才停，雪后的世界真美啊!天蓝蓝的，雪银白银白的，同学们在雪地上堆雪人、打雪仗，大家都哈哈大笑，玩的很开心。我想对雪花说：“谢谢你那么美丽，给大家带来了快乐。”

In the future, can be high-tech, also can be ordinary, my dream is a very common, its just a small dream, is not science fiction.

I hope that the future world is a tree-lined, air pure and fresh and beautiful world, I dont want to tall buildings, everywhere is full of smoke, the blue sky "appearance" is already being thrown outside the cloud nine, then again high-tech also unable to save our earth a beautiful blue sky white clouds, and they will leave us, never... Forever...... , at that time, only the horrible plague and deadly disease could "save" the ignorant people.

So, I just want to let the world become the blue sky white clouds, flowers, birds and insects live very happy, vibrant has indescribable beautiful, is full of magnificent eagle in the sky, the freedom of flying in the sky, the earth is like a fairyland in general.

"Look, a beautiful planet!" Mars family patriarch said surprised. To start, general gawk, heads of the fathers, and some curious Mars people are ready to the beautiful dream of fantasy, just began, Mars the beauty of people was in shock, who also dont want to leave it, this time a long, between the earth and Mars are in love, live together all day, very happy.

So perfect planet, what can people do not like, other people of the planet is not exceptional also, aliens on earth everywhere, even on the sun of the residents also subsequently changed moved to here, then, in the morning and aliens say hello is also a "norm", those evil ghosts and spirits were purified, and made in heaven gods also moved to the surface, the earth vibrant, each step is laughter, the joy of living is everywhere.

未来，可以是高科技的，也可以是普普通通的，我的梦想就是一个极其普通的，它只是一个小小的梦想，一点都不科幻。

我希望：未来的世界是一个绿树成荫，空气清新的美丽世界，我不希望到处都是高楼大厦，到处都是浓烟滚滚，天空那蔚蓝色的“外衣”早已经被抛到九霄云外了，到那时，再高科技也无法挽救我们的地球和美丽的蓝天白云了，它们将离开我们，永远。。。。。。永远。。。。。。，那时，只有恐怖的瘟疫和致命的病痛可以“拯救”这些无知的人了。

所以，我只想让世界变得蓝天白云，鸟语花香，小鸟和昆虫生活非常快乐，生机盎然美得已经无法形容，天空中到处都是雄壮的鹰，在天空中自由的翱翔，地球犹如仙境一般。

“快看，一个美丽的星球!”火星族族长惊讶的说。说干就干，呆呆将军、族长和一些好奇的火星人们都已经准备好了这次美丽的梦幻之旅了，刚开始，火星人们都被眼前的美境震住了，谁也不想离开它，这时间一长，地球人与火星人也产生了感情，整天生活在一起，非常快乐。

这么完美的星球，什么人能不喜欢，别的星球的人也不例外，地球上外星人无处不在，就连太阳上的居民们也随之改迁到这里来了，到那时，早上和外星人打个招呼也是“家常便饭”，那些邪恶的鬼魂和幽灵也被净化了，天上人间的神仙也搬迁到了地面上来了，地球上生机勃勃，每一步都是欢声笑语，生活的乐趣无处不在。

Last Monday when I stepped into my classroom, my monitor told us that our class teacher, Mr Sun, had passed away in a traffic accident. It seemed so unbelievable because he used to give us lessons on Monday morning. I couldnt accept the fact until the headmaster came to tell us the truth.

Mr Sun was a middle-aged teacher. He was full of sense of humour. We all liked him very much because of his excellent teaching. His lessons were usually very lively and interesting.We all liked to attend his class. He was an experienced teacher.

Mr Sun will always live in our hearts!

How to Learn English Well

English is one of the most important subjects in middle school.  Almost everyone knows that we should learn English well, but few of us know how to learn it well. Karl Marx has set a good example for us. He once said, "When one is learning a foreign language, he must use the foreign language." In this way, he could use several languages. A saying goes, "Practice makes perfect." When we learn English, we should read more, speak more, listen to English from time to time and practise writing every day. Don"t be afraid of making mistakes. Only in this way can we learn it well.

I have got two baby cats. They are very beautiful. One is yellow. The other is white. They are very lovely. The yellow cat is very naughty. He likes to play with people. He often runs here and there. His favourite game is playing with balls, ropes and stones. But the white cat is very gentle. She likes to wash her face. And she doesn′t like to play with people. She often jumps onto my knees. I like to give her a bath.

Oh, my baby cats bring me much happiness. We are very good friends. I love them.

六年级圣诞节的英语作文【一】

I like Christmas, it is just like our Spring Festival.

Maybe the Spring Festival is much more important and interesting than Christmas, but I like Christmas Day better. Because we can spend time with our friends and classmates during Christmas. When it is snowy, Christmas becomes much more lovely, just like in fairytales. I can imagine I am in a fairytale, the girl who sold the matches is my friend, the ugly duck becoming more and more beautiful and so on. What a beautiful place! So we can also call Christmas “Snowy Lovely Day.”

On Christmas Day, shops are red and green. There are so many Christmas cards, Christmas hats, Christmas dolls and many colourful things. So shops look very beautiful. We can give a card or a doll to our friends and say “Merry Christmas.” By the way, I think studying can also become much more interesting.

Christmas is coming, it also means a new year will come. Let’s study harder to welcome the new year!

六年级圣诞节的英语作文【四】

Christmas is the most important festival in the western world.It falls on December 25th.When my mother and Istayed in America,we were invited by one of my mothers friends to have Christmas with an American family.We bought some presents for our American friends on our way to their house.They had prepared different kinds of gifts for their family and guests when we got to their house,such as Christmas candles,cakes,cards,little toys,biscuits and so on.A Christmas tree was placed in the comer of the brilliant hall.How beautiful it was！We were impressed by these.We had abig meal.After dinner,they told us some interesting stories about Christmas.We learned that Christmas had something to do with God.We went to bed at midnight.Though we knew the Santa Claus was not true,we were still waiting for the Santa Claus with white beard to bring us presents.And we received many beautiful presents the next morning.This Christmas was really unforgettable.Not only did Ihave agood time,but also Iknew something about foreign culture.

The original Santa Claus, St. Nicholas, was born in the ancient southeastern Turkish town of Lycia early in the fourth century. His generosity was legend, and he was particularly fond of children. We know this primarily through Roman accounts of his patronage of youth, which eventually led to his becoming the patron saint of children. Throughout the Middle Ages, and well beyond, he was referred to by many names none of them Santa Claus.

Children today would not at all recognize the St. Nick who brought gifts to European children hundreds of years ago except perhaps for his cascading white beard. He made his rounds in full red-and-white bishops robes, complete with twin peaked miter and crooked crozier. He was pulled by no fleet footed reindeer, but coaxed in indolent donkey. And he arrived not late on Christmas Eve, but on his Christian feast day, December 6. The gifts he left beside the hearth were usually small: fruit, nuts, hard candies, wood and clay figurines.

During the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century, St. Nicholas was banished from most European countries. Replacing him were more secular figures, who in general were not at center stage at that point in history..The Dutch kept the St. Nicholas tradition alive. As the "protector of sailors," St. Nicholas graced the prow of the first Dutch ship that arrived in America. And the first church built in New York City was named after him. The Dutch brought with them to the New World two Christmas items that were quickly Americanized.

In sixteenth century Holland, children placed wooden shoes by the hearth the night of St. Nicholass arrival. The shoes were filled with straw, a meal for the saints gift laden donkey. In return, Nicholas would insert a small treat into each clog. In America, the shoe was replaced with the stocking, hung by the chimney.

The Dutch spelled St. Nicholas "Saint Nikolass," which in the New World became "Sinterklass". later changed to "Santa Claus".

Much of modern day Santa Claus lore, including the reindeer drawn sleigh, originated in America. Dr. Clement Clarke Moore composed "The Night Before Christmas" in 1822, to read to his children on Christmas Eve. The poem might have remained privately in the Moore family if a friend had not mailed a copy of it (without authorial attribution) to a newspaper and became part of the Santa legend.

It was in America that Santa put on weight. The rosy-cheeked, roly-poly Santa is credited to the influential nineteenth-century cartoonist Thomas Nast. From 1863 until 1886, Nast created a series of Christmas drawings for Harpers Weekly. These drawings, executed over twenty years, exhibit a gradual evolution in Santa from the pudgy, diminutive, elf-like creature of Dr. Moores immortal poem to the bearded, potbellied, life-size bell ringer familiar on street corners across America today. Nasts cartoons also showed the world how Santa spent his entire year constructing toys, checking on childrens behavior, reading their requests for special gifts. His images were incorporated into the Santa lore.

Santa is known throughout the world in many different names, such as:

Saint Nikolaas (Sinter Klaas), from the Dutch Father Christmas, from the English Kris Kringle, from the Germans Befana, from the Italians Bobouschka, from the Russians (a grand motherly figure instead of a male)

圣诞老人的传说在数千年前的斯堪的纳维亚半岛即出现。北欧神话中司智慧，艺术，诗词，战争的奥丁神，寒冬时节，骑上他那八脚马坐骑驰骋于天涯海角，惩恶扬善，分发礼物。与此同时，其子雷神着红衣以闪电为武器与冰雪诸神昏天黑地恶战一场，最终战胜寒冷。据异教传说，圣诞老人为奥丁神后裔。也有传说称圣诞老人由圣·尼古拉而来，所以圣诞老人也称St.Nicholas.因这些故事大多弘扬基督精神，其出处，故事情节大多被淡忘，然而圣诞老人却永驻人们精神世界。

每年圣诞日，圣诞老人骑在白羊星座上，圣童手持圣诞树降临人间，随着世事变迁，作家和艺术家开始把圣诞老人描述成我们今日熟悉的着红装，留白胡子的形象。同时不同的国度和文化对圣诞老人也有了不同的解释。在德国，传说他扮成圣童把坚果和苹果放在孩子们鞋里。他乘双轮马车四处漫游，观察人们的行为，尤其是小孩，如果表现好，将会得到苹果、坚果、糖等诸多奖品。坏孩子则得一鞭子。家长们灵机一动纷纷采用此传说来鼓励孩子们听话。大大超过了新年，成为一个全民的节日。圣诞老人已经成为圣诞节最受喜爱的象征和传统。他赶 着驯鹿，拉着装满玩具和礼物的雪橇挨家挨户给每个孩子送礼物的快乐老精灵的形象已深深地留在人们的记忆中。

11世纪末来自意大利的宗教士兵将Nicholas圣人的遗物带回意大利，并在港口城市Bari建造了一座教堂来纪念他。很快世界各地的基督教徒纷至沓来朝圣这位圣人。这些朝圣者将圣人Nicholas的故事带回他们的本土，所以有关圣诞老人的传说在各个国家都各具特色。

12世纪欧洲出现了圣人Nicholas纪念日，以互赠礼物和慈善活动为主。德国、法国、荷兰则将12月6日作为宗教纪念日，给孩子和穷人们赠送礼物。

荷兰殖民者来到美洲时，将他们的Sintirklass主教也带了去，Sintirklass身着红袈裟，骑着一匹白马。Sintirklass的美国形象后来逐渐演变成一个快乐的老精灵。起初美国作家华盛顿.欧文在他的喜剧《纽约的历史》中将他描述成一个又圆又胖的荷兰老人。1823年，诗人Clement Moore在他的诗歌《St.Nicholas印象》中继续将Sintirklass/Saint Nicholas的形象戏剧化，这就是各位在本篇开头看到的圣诞老人。

19世纪60年代卡通制作者Thomas Nash画了一幅胖胖的、慈祥的圣诞老人作为《Harper的一周》的插图。这个圣诞老人的形象开始深深地扎根于美国人民的脑海中。随着时间的推移，圣诞老人的形象传回欧洲，传到南美洲，传遍世界各地。

许多国家都保存了他们自己有关圣诞老人的风俗和传说。在荷兰的传说中，圣诞老人Sintirklass还带了一个叫Black Peter的助手，乘着一艘船于12月6日来到。他带着一本大书，书中描述了所有荷兰小孩在过去一年中的表现。表现好的小孩就送礼物给他们，不好的小孩便让他的助手带走。

德国的圣诞老人也带着一个叫做Knecht Ruprecht、Krampus或Pelzebock的助手，肩上背着个装着礼物的大袋子，手上拿着一根棍子。好孩子可收到他的礼物，顽皮的孩子却要给教训几棍子。

意大利的圣诞老人叫La Befana ;法国的圣诞老人叫Father Christmas或Pere Noel ;瑞士的圣诞老人叫Christkindl或Christ Child;斯勘的纳维亚地区的圣诞人叫julenisse 或 juletomte ;而英国的圣诞老人和法国一样也叫Father Christmas(圣诞之父)，他的形象比其它圣诞老人更庄严，更清瘦一些。北美的圣诞老人便是乘着驯鹿拉的雪橇来给孩子们送礼物的。

1.Hello everyone,my topic of the speech for today is "City Life and Country Life".

Why do people choose to live in the cities today?The reason is:in the cities,we have more opportunities.In cities there are many shops.There is no problem if you need to buy something.If it isnt in one shop you can go to another one.In the village there are usually only few shops and even the only one with the necessary foods.But cities arent only centres of shopping but there are also many offices.Of course all the good schools are in cities.People in the cities can find a now job more easily than people in the country.After all,a job opportunity is one of the most important reasons why to move to the city.But many people from cities say they would love living in the country.I agree with them.

Chritmas is the day that Jesus Christ was born. people in the world celebrate and worship this day in his honor. The santa claus will come out and send presents for children. Christmas cards and decorated trees are all over the place. The carolling of Christmas songs echo through the air. I am not a Chirstian， but I also enjoy the atmosphere of Chrismas. I wish everybody have a merry Chirismas.
