圣诞节英语小报三年级最新20篇

我们班的老师在讲课的时候都讲的栩栩如生，然而在上下课时却非常的“慢”。例如：今天上午第四节课是语文课，可是上课的铃声过去了许久，还是不见老师的身影。不知问自己多少次“为何黄老师也慢了，真闹心！”就在这时，班上的捣蛋鬼唐某和赵某在教室里打起了口水仗，他们你一句我一句的，听的我儿朵都要长茧子了。

终于，班长到办公室叫老师了，可班长给我的结果简直是晴天霹雳——上数学。随之，数学老师迈进了教室，我们只好无可奈何地拿出了数学书。

我们班的老师除了一个“慢”还在占课，这可就要数“Einglishmiss张小姐”——英语老师了。

太好了，这节课是电脑课，又可以痛痛快快的玩一节电脑了，心里正在美滋滋地想着，可英语老师的出现让我有点无语……老师却笑盈盈的对我们说：“今天没电了，上英语课，”我们全班同学几乎倒下。

我希望老师可以按时上课，给我们一个好的学习心态。

My hometown is beautiful all the year round. Like a spring flows through my memory. Hometown is a beautiful, at least in my eyes, everything is so beautiful and so strange.

Hometown has a rippling stream, on the bottom, water is very shallow, only to my knees. Can see a lot of pebbles, the stream on the above, let you both painful and itchy. The crook of a few unknown grass, green green, reflected on the stream, the stream of green. When I was a little boy, I like lying on the crook, looking at water from upstream to downstream. Its a pity that the stream by cement to replace now. Some disappointed in my heart.

Home against the mountain, each spring, starts is a green, in green dotted with pink peach blossom, white pear flower and the village residents channel out their own field, what a harmonious picture. I like the adults went up into the mountain to get water Wells of the forest. Well surrounded by large tracts of forest, and those unknown flowers and mushrooms. When the adults sat well chatting, I will run to watching floret, to play with insects.

I love my hometown, because that is where I lived as a child, the residents of the home mostly kept poultry. In my spare time, I am interacting with chickens and ducks. I sat down on a stone, look at them, they also looked at me, I and they produced a profound friendship.

My hometown is beautiful, the hometown the residents of adversity, even if a dispute will soon reconciled. All those beautiful in my hometown, I forever will not forget.

我的家乡一年四季都是美的。像一眼清泉从我的记忆中流过。家乡是美丽的，至少在我眼中，一切都是那么美好又那么陌生。

家乡有一条潺潺的小溪，清澈见底，溪水很浅，只到我的膝盖。溪底可以见到很多鹅卵石，踩在上面，让你既疼又痒。溪边种着几棵不知名的小草，翠绿翠绿，倒映在溪上，将小溪染绿了。我小时候喜欢趴在溪边，看着流水从上游流到下游。可惜现在小溪被水泥给代替了。心中不免有些惆怅。

家乡靠着山，每当春天，满山遍野都是一片翠绿，在绿中点缀着粉红桃花，洁白的梨花和那些村庄居民们自己开辟的田野，多么和谐的一幅画啊。我喜欢随着大人们上山去树林中的水井打水。井的周围有大片树林，还有那些不知名的小花和蘑菇。当大人们坐在井边闲聊时，我便会跑到一边看小花，和虫子玩。

我喜欢我的家乡，因为那是我小时候住的地方，家乡的居民大多都养了家禽。闲暇时，我与鸡鸭为伍。我坐在石头上，看着它们，它们也看着我，我和它们产生了深厚的友谊。

我的家乡是美丽的，家乡居民们守望相助，即使发生纠纷也会很快和好。那些在故乡的美好一切，我一辈子也不会忘记。

我记得当我去年在半夜发高烧，妈妈以最快的速度带我去医院。当我打完针回到家时，已经差不多凌晨五点。妈妈只睡了2个小时，因为她不得不在七点起床为我准备早餐，然后她去工作。她那天一定很累。

Evely nation has its own folk festivals. Those festivals give people a chance to be away from their regular work and everyday worries to enjoy themselves and to develop kindship and fiiendship. The spring festival is the chief holiday in china while christmas is the most important redletter day in the western world.

The spring festival and christmas have much in common. Both are prepared hefiorehand to create a joyous atmosphere; both offer a family reunion with a square feast: and both satisfy the children with new clothes, lovely presents and delicious food.

However, the chinese spring festival has no religious background while christmas has something to do with god and there is santa claus with white heard to bring children presents. The westerners send each other christmas cards for greetings while the chinese people pay a call on each other.

Nowadays, some of the chinese youth has begun to celebrate christmas, following the example of the westerners. Perhaps they do so just for fun and out of curiosity.

The History of Christmas ——圣诞节的来历

Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. No one knows the exact date of Christ‘s birth, but most Christians observe Christmas on December 25. On this day, many go to church, where they take part in special religious services. During the Christmas season, they also exchange gifts and decorate their homes with holly, mistletoe, and Christmas trees. The word Christmas comes from Cristes maesse, an early English phrase that means Mass of Christ. The story of Christmas comes chiefly from the Gospels of Saint Luke and Saint Matthew in the New Testament.

The history of Christmas dates back over 4000 years. Many of our Christmas traditions were celebrated centuries before the Christ child was born. The 12 days of Christmas, the bright fires, the yule log, the giving of gifts, carnivals(parades) with floats, carolers who sing while going from house to house, the holiday feasts, and the church processions can all be traced back to the early Mesopotamians.

Many of these traditions began with the Mesopotamian celebration of New Years. The Mesopotamians believed in many gods, and as their chief god-Marduk. Each year as winter arrived it was believed that Marduk would do battle with the monsters of chaos. To assist Marduk in his struggle the Mesopotamians held a festival for the New Year. This was Zagmuk, the New Year‘s festival that lasted for 12 days.

从桂林游玩回来后，为了让我过一个即充实，又快乐的暑假，我制定了一个计划。

首先在学习方面。因为平时读书时间太少，所以暑假里我要多读几本课外书，保证每天读书1小时，并及时做好“与书有约”。还要每天背一首古诗，写一篇日记，练20分钟书法。为了让我的英语水平有所提高，我还要读15分钟的英语。在做好这些基础上，假期末为了我的学习更轻松，我还准备预习一下五年级的主课。

其次在其他方面。我要多出去旅游，希望能在第二课堂里开阔眼界，学到一些在学校里面学不到的知识。我还要去学习游泳、拜访亲朋好友。除了这些，我还要坚持我的特长学习，如二胡要每天练够1小时，拉丁舞准备考级、画画做好老师布置的作业等。

当然，要做好这些健康是最重要的，所以为了完成我的计划，我要每天坚持锻炼，或骑自行车、或游泳、或散步。

既然制定了计划，就要按计划完成，如果不按计划完成，就等于白制定。所以我一定要认真完成自己制定的计划，不敷衍了事。

Last Qingming Festival,I return home  to worship my grandfather.Qingming Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,In the past, the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day".

But Today, Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush that has grown. Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set out offerings of food and spirit money.

Unlike the sacrifices at a familys home altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food.

One theory is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area, the less appealing food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers.

With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the honor past ancestors. Following folk religion, the Chinese believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and spirit money could keep them happy, and the family would prosper  through good harvests and more children.

又到了美丽的圣诞节，虽然这不是中国的节日，可是对我们这群爱疯爱闹的孩子来说，是值得庆祝的。每到圣诞节前夕，教师里总会传出许多议论、许多鬼点子。你听：“我们可以在圣诞节那天打扮成各种各样的人，并带上自己的小礼物。”

第二天，我到了教室，真漂亮啊!圣诞树呈塔形，穿着一件绿衣裳，身上挂着的一个个小铃铛，轻轻一碰，叮当、叮当发出的声音;金色的小灯，好像天上眨眼的星星;五颜六色的小灯笼，一闪一闪的，上面挂满了同学们的礼物。

再看同学们的打扮，在日常生活中见都没见过：公主、天使、魔法师、猎人、老爷爷......甚至有同学男扮女装，我则打扮成了一个圣诞老人。

接着，我们互相辨认起来，这是小丽，她最爱美，打扮成了公主;这是小杰，他酷爱魔法，打扮成了魔法师......到了最后，只有两位同学没被我们辨认出来。

随后，我们按照学号依次从圣诞树上闭着眼睛摸取礼物，真希望我能得到一份好礼物。

这个圣诞节，快乐更神秘!

Late one afternoon, I was on my way home from school. I walked slowly along the street with my head drooped. The scenes on both sides of the street were beautiful, but I had no interest in them at all. I walked and walked, thinking of what had happened that day.

Just a few minutes before the second class began that afternoon, I was asked to go to the teachers office. I heard my teacher talking to my mother with anger.

How could you dare to go to see a film this morning without permission? Mother said at the top of her voice, slapping me in the face heavily. I look at Mother, dumbfounded…

I walked more slowly, for I had seen my house ahead, where Mother was always standing at the door, smiling at me, at this time every day. But now, she wasnt there. My heard was beating faster. I even didnt dare to open the door for fear that Mother should beat again.

Not knowing what to do, I sat on the ground near the door, blaming myself for what I had done. I was lost in deep agony.

Suddenly a soft hand patted me on the head. I looked up, seeing Mother standing beside me. I couldnt help crying, Mum! tears rolling down my cheeks.

In the vast ocean live many creatures with great intellectual and physical capacities.Dolphinis one of those great creatures, whose capacities to think and move at an astounding rate puzzle those who study their behaviors, Dolphins possess something that makes them different from all the other sea creatures.

Dolphinsbabies are born in the water. They can grow up to three and a half meters long.

Dolopins use sound to help them find their way, look for their food and talk with each other. Sound is just like their eyes and mouths.

Although it is generally agreed that the Christmas tree in its current form came from Germany in the early 19th century, the tradition of decorating a tree to mark winter celebrations dates back hundreds of years to Roman times, when they used to decorate evergreen trees with small pieces of metal to celebrate Saturnalia.

In medieval times the Paradise Play was performed every year on 24 December. This depicted the creation of Man and the fall of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and always included an evergreen hung with apples which represented the apple tree of temptation.

There is a legend that St Boniface, an English monk, came upon a group of pagans gathered around an oak tree who were preparing to sacrifice a child to the God Thor. In order to stop the sacrifice, and save the childs life, St Boniface is said to have felled the tree with one blow of his fist. Later on, a fir tree grew in place of the oak and this, St Boniface told the pagans, was the Tree of Life and represented the Christ Child.

Legend also suggests that, in the late 16th century, Martin Luther (the founder of the Protestant religion) was the first to decorate an indoor tree with candles when he attempted to recreate the stars shining over a forest of evergreens.

The first mention of decorated trees being taken indoors came in 1605 in Germany - a country with a long Christmas tree history! The trees were initially decorated with fruit and sweets together with hand made objects such as quilled snowflakes and stars. German Christmas Markets began to sell shaped gingerbreads and wax ornaments which people bought as souvenirs of the fair and took home to hang on their tree.

Tinsel was also invented in Germany in about 1610. Up until fairly recently real silver was used, which was pulled into wafer thin strips by special machines. This was durable but tarnished quickly and many experiments took place to try and find an alternative - including a mix of lead and tin, which was too heavy and kept breaking. It was only in the mid 20th century that a viable alternative was found.

Artificial trees were invented in the 1880s in a bid to try and stop some of the damage being caused to real trees due to people lopping the tip off large trees, thus preventing the trees from growing any further. It got so bad in Germany that laws had to be brought in to prevent people having more than one tree.

Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, is credited with being responsible for introducing the custom of the Christmas tree to the British public by decorating the first English Christmas tree at Windsor Castle in 1841 using candles, sweets, fruit and gingerbread.

The popularity of the Christmas tree grew in Britain during the first half of the 20th century, with trees becoming bigger and more elaborately decorated with bells, baubles and tinsel. However, the onset of the Second World War resulted in a ban on cutting down trees for decoration and people resorted to having small, artificial tabletop trees bearing home made decorations. These were often taken down into the air raid shelters when the sirens sounded to provide a bit of Christmas cheer!

This all changed following the war, and large trees were erected in many public places to celebrate Christmas. The most famous of these is the tree in Trafalgar Square, London which is an annual gift from the Norwegian government to give thanks for the help they received from Britain during the war.

Dear Santa Claus:

"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, windows…everywhere, 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.

liu hua is my best friend. she is less tall than i, but of stronger constitution. she looks more like a boy than a girl and is strong willed. at college, we spent a lot of time together reading, talking,singing and laughing. whenever we were together we feel happy and carefree.

刘华是我最好的朋友。她个子没我高。但比我结实。她的样子看上去与其说是女孩不如说是男孩，她意志坚强。在大学，我们一起度过了许多时光，在一起看书、谈天、欢笑。

我们在所受的教育、家庭背景、兴趣、爱好等方面有很多共同之处。我们经常互相学习、互相帮助。有一次，她住院开阑尾，我想方设法照顾她。这使项松(同病房的年轻女教师)羡慕我们的友谊。当我准备考研究生时，她做饭，并敦促别人帮助我。毕业后，我们分手了。她去了阿根廷，我仍在中国科技大学。我们曾相约在美国相见，因此我们都在发奋读书。

真正的友谊地久天长。艰苦奋斗是值得的，三年后我们又相遇了。我们如愿以偿地相会在彼此相约的地方美国。我获得北卡州立大学的助教金，而她在阿根廷挣了足够钱供自己到美国来读书。

From the sixteenth of January to the seventh of February is our Winter Holiday. I think everybody did a lot of things in the Winter Holiday. But I didn’t. Let you to listen to my story of Winter Holiday.

I spend a lot of time on the homework.. Every day in my Winter Holiday, I always got up late. then I listened to the tape, it was nine o’clock. then I ate breakfast and then I did my homework during the daytime! I’m not very slow but the homework was too heavy!

I’m unlucky on the playing too. I played firecracker but I hurt my finger with the fire. I ‘m careless to kindle the firecracker, so I’m very unlucky.

I still unlucky on my friend’s party. In the morning, I wanted to get up early but I woke up at 10:50. After ten minutes, the party would start! So I only eat a piece of bread then I go to my friend’s home! And I stay at his home for a long time when I came home. My mother and father were very angry and they scolded me!

I’m worried and feel unlucky on my weigh. Last term, I was 48 kilogram but now I am 51 kilogram! I must to do banting!

But most important, I have gone to Shanghai Ocean Aquarium, I want to go there very much because I want to see the horse, the monkey……in the sea. Now I’ve done it . It is a bright dot in my Winter Holiday.
