[描写春晚的英文作文

前几天，老师给我们布置了一项向日葵观察日记的作业。说完以后，我们搬起种向日葵的箱子走回了家。

到家了，我看了一下，发现上面连一片叶也没有，只有几个大洞，像一个陷阱，让我们掉下去上不来。我就下定决心要把它种到可以吃瓜子的时候。

又过了几天，我放学回到家，发现原来空空如也的箱子，突然间长出了几根小苗，这让我大吃一惊。原本让我掉下去的陷阱也被填满了，就像向日葵小苗发现了这个大陷阱，就把大陷阱给填满了一样。

今天，这个向日葵的家变成了一个“植物专用”城市，那些快长大的向日葵真厉害。高高的，直直地挺立着，两旁的两片绿叶就像手臂，大大的花朵就像个脑袋，风儿吹来，就像一个小娃娃在风中舞蹈。

大千世界无奇不有，在这个生机勃勃、变幻莫测的大自然，有着无穷无尽的奥秘正在等着我们去探索呢！

今天，我们像往常一样，快乐地奔向张老师的兴趣班。等我到达张老师家里的时候，张老师神秘地对我们说：“今天，我们写点特别的东西吧！”话音刚落，张老师便给我们欣赏了一幅可爱的向日葵图片，让我们仔细观察。

我发现，葵花的茎是笔直笔直的，上面有很多毛绒绒的细毛，它的叶子是碧绿色的，一大片一大片，花瓣是嫩黄色的，像太阳的光芒，特别是它的花朵很圆很大，我仔细观察了图片，原来向日葵的中心是长黑黑的葵花籽在里面排的整整齐齐的，而且经常有一群小蜜蜂来到向日葵的中心采蜜。

告诉你们一个小秘密吧！向日葵为什么总要向着太阳爷爷呢？原来，它需要吸收更多的阳光和热，在风姑娘的吹拂下，向日葵们随着风姑娘的伴奏下，它们像舞蹈家那样，站在高尚的舞台上，翩翩起舞着，它们都有各种各样的姿势，觉得它们在迎接着朵朵白云，真的是美仑美奂！

中午，太阳变得炙热起来，发出了猛烈的光线，于是，聪明伶敏的向日葵就把头低下来，像一个个害羞的小姑娘，到了晚上，向日葵又会重新面向早上的方向。

向日葵就是这样年复一年，日复一日永远向着太阳生长着，它积极又阳光，并给我们提供美味的葵瓜子，这样的向日葵你们喜欢吗？

春天，向日葵的小种子被春姑娘吵醒了。它一个劲儿地向上钻，长出了一颗嫩绿的小芽芽。过了几天，长成了一株绿色的杆子，它挺直了腰杆，还长出了一个绿色的小花盘。小向日葵每天叫醒太阳，然后像一只“跟屁虫”一样，始终把脸和身子朝着太阳，觉得没意思的时候，就朝太阳做个“鬼脸”，开心开心。

夏天，太阳公公给它一缕缕“金粉”，向日葵像个臭美的小女孩，把金粉一层层地往脸上涂。渐渐地，它成了一个金脸蛋的小美女。一阵微风出来，向日葵遮起了脸，生怕被吹成一个“大花脸”呢！

秋天，向日葵害羞地低下了头，仿佛在跟农民伯伯说：”我的果实已经成熟了，丰收的季节已经到了。“瞧，它的果盘上结满了密密麻麻的瓜子，沉甸甸的。

冬天，一阵寒风吹过，向日葵瑟瑟发抖，缩成了一团。向日葵妈妈用它的最后一点力气，把它的孩子抛进了土里，自己却枯萎了。小种子在土里安静地睡着了，等待着明年春天的到来。

爷爷家门前的空地上种了几棵向日葵，一棵棵高大挺拔，它们有着粗壮笔直的茎，硕大的碧绿的叶子，像一把大蒲扇片片展开，摸上去有点粗糙。

夏初的时候，茎的顶端会托出一个嫩绿的圆圆的小盘子，像是戴了一顶“少年帽”。渐渐的嫩绿色变深了，一圈圈地向外扩大，不知不觉就长成了一个“大盘子”，那是它的花盘成熟了。金黄色的花盘中间覆盖着嫩黄的花蕊，花瓣好像一个拉着一个的小手围成一个圆圈。给花盘戴了一个美丽的花环。

向日葵开得热烈而耀眼，我忍不住天天去看，主要是关心向日葵的籽什么时候能吃，却有了重大的发现：早晨的时候向日葵的头就神气十足的朝向太阳升起的方向，中午的时候向日葵的头会仰望着太阳，晚上的时候，向日葵的头慢慢低下来，好像忙了一天要休息啦！向日葵是会转动地，这是为什么呢？我不相信它能天天这样，就不时去看，可向日葵好像压根儿不把我放在眼里一样，始终向着太阳，乐此不疲。我突然明白了，原来它的名字是这样由来的啊！向日葵，就是要向阳而生的意思。阳光就是它心中的追求与向往，更是它坚定的信仰！

看到这样的向日葵，我顿时肃然起敬。向日葵真是忠诚、正直、积极向上，内心充满阳光的植物。它那么坚毅地固守着心中的信仰，矢志不渝。在生活中我们应该向向日葵学习，做个正直、坚毅、为理想而执着追求的少年！

“好的文字终是能突破喧嚣的尘土，成为一股清冽的甘泉去涤荡人心”。李娟的文字很好地证明了这句话。

《遥远的向日葵地》是朋友推荐的。刚看到书名，觉得无非就是写哪片田野上的向日葵地，或是向日葵所寓意的阳光、美好，以及诗和远方。一开始颇有“走马观花”之意，后来发现，这本书给人的惊喜可不止一点。

这本书中的向日葵，代表的是孤独的等待和农耕的艰辛。李娟用自己坚韧、温暖又积极乐观、充满力量的文字，描述了十年前与家人在遥远的阿勒泰戈壁种植向日葵的往事。她笔下的人与事物都跃然纸上。勤劳能干、努力向上的妈妈；颠沛流离终究回不到那片土地，一直在“等待”中的外婆；温柔的小赛虎；爱偷鞋子的丑丑；许许多多嘈杂的小动物；只有一个近乎破烂的顶和一些零零散散的锅碗瓢盆组成的房子；还有那片明明已经日渐繁盛，却还是被鹅喉羚毁了的九十亩向日葵地……很贫苦的生活，除却一丝苦涩之外，更多的，却是生动、坚韧和丰盛。

而在这丰盛又有趣的农耕生活里，还有着那无穷无尽的等待，像是要吞噬万物的怪兽。妈妈等待水去灌溉那片向日葵地，等待向日葵的绽放；狗狗等待远去而归的妈妈；高龄多病的外婆在遥远的向日葵地等待孩子的归来，却也无时无刻不在等待着死亡……李娟姐姐也在书中写道：“我觉得外婆最终不是死于病痛与衰老的，而是死于等待。”可能是跟外婆最亲，也可能是李娟姐姐笔下的人物故事很生动，书中外婆的等待，让我感动，也让我想起了我的外婆。

外婆的一生似乎也在等待中度过。她的前半生，等待外公来爱她，等待孩子的长大。等待终于不用过那种天还未亮就出门割小麦，晚上只有月亮陪伴她归来的日子。而这一切都还没完全结束，外婆又要开始新的等待。随着年龄的增长，外婆的风湿也越来越严重，腿变得不利索起来。她就只能在家里等天黑，又等天亮。等同辈们离开，最后也等自己离开。外公去世后，孩子们也逐渐长大远走高飞，外婆孤身一人守在那间青瓦老屋，却也始终坚信着“总之岁月漫长，然而值得等待”。她一直都等待着美好的事物，当然更多的，是等待我的归来。

从小就跟在外婆的身旁，我是她一手带大的。外婆会尽一切所能的把她尝尽一生后沉淀下来的道理讲给我听。在我上小学便离开外婆家时，外婆也没说什么，只是扶着门沿，开玩笑似地说了句：“囡囡常回来看看，别让外婆等太久，外婆会孤独的啊……”我不以为然，也不知道“孤独”与“等待”，是有着多深的含义，所以很少回去看她。看完这本书后回头想想，真的很可惜当初自己年纪小，不懂那小小花招后的一片柔情。

偶尔回去一趟，外婆无穷无尽的等待也终于有了一个突破。一见我回来，外婆可高兴了。我嗜甜如命，每次我回去，外婆都会给我熬糖。她不顾及自己腿脚的不便，走到厨房去。一口大锅放进装满的水，把白糖放入锅里开始搅。可不能闲着不搅，不搅的话就会熬糊了！慢慢地搅，也慢慢地等待。慢慢的水浅下去，待锅里稠了。甜腻的香气便氤氲开来，馋坏了我。外婆用两根筷子搅了搅，我的小舌头一卷，又热又软，筷子上的甜晶莹透明，甜到了我的胃，更甜到了我的心。

没过多久我就走了，穿鞋时，外婆总是唠叨：“那么早就走了啊……”“嗯回家写作业……”

长大后才发现，年少时外婆口中的“孤独”与“等待”，是有着多深的含义——“孤独这两个字拆开来看，有孩童，有瓜果，有走兽，有飞虫”，足以撑起一个盛夏傍晚的巷口，人情味十足。而孩童瓜果飞虫自然热闹，都与自己在乎的人无关，这就叫孤独。外婆在孤独中等待，又在等待中孤独着。而外婆却愿意这样等待我一辈子。

《遥远的向日葵地》的等待，或许是万物共通的等待。那份等待“洒落”在小说的每一个角落，也出现在我们生活当中。就像我的外婆那样，她一直等待着我的归来，那份等待，无比盛大，却也尝尽孤独。

“现实生活就像她描述向日葵一样，远不止开花时节灿烂壮美的面目，更多的时候还有等待、忍受与离别的面目。”关于“等待”这个词，可能听说过最多的是“等待美好事物的到来”。其实不然，等待这个词，满满都是孤独与苦涩。

但幸好，这本书就如北斗，闪耀在我的人生中。没有人会喜欢孤独和等待。让爱你和你爱的人少一些等待。把那片遥远的向日葵地放入心间。毕竟人非神明，不可能活一世就该有一世的“等待”与敞亮。而愿意等待你的人，必定是珍惜你的人。

July 18

I have rested for a week. I began to feel bored. So I went out with my

friends. They are my best friends in the middle school. We didn’t go to

someplace special. We just saw the other. We had lunch together. While we were

having lunch, we were still talking about the new school and new friends.

7月18日

我已经休息了一个星期。我开始觉得无聊。所以我与朋友出去。他们是我最好的朋友在中学。我们没去在某处特别。我们看见了其他。我们共进午餐。虽然我们吃午饭，我们仍然谈论新学校和新朋友。

我爱向日葵，爱它那嫩绿的叶子和美丽的花朵，爱它那饱满的种子，更爱它那永不言弃的品格。

我爱向日葵的叶和花。小时候，它的叶子又嫩又绿，样子小小的，像一个个大写字母“A”。它的花盘只有拳头大小，里面空空的。

长大后，它的叶子却一点儿都不绿了，变成了墨绿色。而此时的花盘变得又圆又大，好像一个大太阳。

我爱向日葵的种子。我们平时吃的瓜子其实就是向日葵的种子，只要把它们拿出来炒一下就可以了，而且还可以做成各种口味呢，有奶油味、绿茶味、哈密瓜味……吃起来喷香可口，很是美味。

我爱向日葵那永不言弃的品格。夏天的时候，当其它花朵都伸不直腰时，向日葵却昂首挺胸地面向太阳，保持着灿烂的微笑。

我爱向日葵。

今天早上，阳光明媚，我们一家人自驾来到了向往已久的宁海长街佳田欢乐农场。在那里，有婀娜多姿的向日葵；有穿着绿风衣的黄瓜；还有小巧玲珑的草莓……。

一眼望去，它们像在跳欢快的小苹果舞，我飞奔过去。这才发现原来向日葵高高的，茎粗粗的，像根铁棒似的。叶子密密麻麻、毛绒绒的。上面还有几只小虫，好像要把它当成床似的。还有像盘子大的花朵儿，花瓣黄黄的，中间有几只欢快又勤劳的小蜜蜂，在花朵间自由地飞来飞去。看，那边有一颗特别的向日葵，一个茎上长了六朵小向日葵，我忽然觉得，向日葵好像有分身术呢！爸爸、妈妈、我和弟弟在花间快乐地跑来跑去，爸爸还偷偷地用手机把这精彩的瞬间留了下来。

这真是一片美丽的葵花海洋！我忽然之间觉得自己也是一朵美丽的向日葵，正在风里跳舞呢！

三（14）班 欧阳嘉懿

有一天，我开心的去公园玩，看见了各种各样的花。比如：粉的桃花、黄的太阳花、白的梨花，到处一派派生机勃勃。当我看到我最喜欢的向日葵朋友时，我开心得像盛开的花儿一样合不拢嘴。

向日葵的花瓣好像美丽的小公主的头发，可爱又优美。向日葵的香味是非常特别的，有一种淡淡的清香味，沁人心脾。我凑过去闻了闻，真香呀！我用手轻轻摸了摸，软软的。

从远处看，有的在梳妆打扮，有的在和小朋友们拍照，有的在和小蜜蜂玩游戏，好一派热闹的景象呀！

我捧着向日葵说：“我好希望像你一样充满阳光呀！”

向日葵一年四季都可以种植，它的果实也可以食用。我喜欢我的好朋友向日葵。

带着笑意，向日葵迎来了新一天的太阳。

因为面向太阳，向日葵的茎很高，很细，但是它却很直，朴实，正因为如此，他才能撑起自己的小脑袋吧。它的叶子是互生的，紧紧地靠在一起，相互扶持，共同向上。那盛开的黄花，像是一个大圆盘。圆盘里面呢，是一颗颗瓜子，在叶柄的带领下，永远追随着阳光的脚步。

向日葵是一年生草本植物，也许他知道自己的生命只有一年，所以更要珍惜阳光，日日面向太阳，追求光明。他曾经也受过黑暗的折磨，但它从不曾消极认命，因为他坚信：等到黑夜翻面之后会是新的白昼。

因为向日葵没有花香，找来不了蜜蜂和蝴蝶，也没有树高，吸引不了小鸟。也许你要说他很平凡，很常见，供养，田野处处都有它们的身影。但当你看到向日葵里，难道他向着光明，向着温暖就给不来哦你意思的希望。难道他的正直，乐观，默默付出和团结向上就给不了你任何的启示？难道你不想到向日葵就像我们一生的缩影吗？我们曾像向日葵那样心向阳光，乐观向上。

与其说向日葵是我们的缩影，不如说他是千千万万的百姓，不如说他是越来越强大的祖国。也许向日葵是很普通，不说它的正直，乐观，就它一心向上的品质也感染了着人们。

我要赞美向日葵，更要赞美拥有向日葵精神的人！

对这温暖的阳光唱出我们的战歌，这是我们的使命;对着太阳绽放迷人的微笑，是我们的使命;为着自己的理想努力拼搏，这是我们的使命……

向日葵，是我最爱的花，母亲为了满足我，所以买了一幅凡高的《向日葵》的画，无限的激动在我心头喷涌着，但是，必须要小心翼翼。

花在淡黄色的花瓶里凌乱地插着，花朵即将面临死亡。几朵花，在阳光的照耀下，它们正在凋零，但又快活着，嬉戏着，玩闹着。看那朵挨着花瓶的，花朵已渐渐枯了，但它仍不低头，挺立在花瓶上，上面那朵好像已经枯萎，但花型还在。花啊!你真像一位战士，在临死之前还昂首挺胸。

在这幅向日葵中，还有几朵美丽的花，有几朵?在我印象中已经模糊不清了。但我仍记得它们的样子，微笑地面对着生活，微笑地面对同伴…

清晨，我刚睁开朦胧的睡眼，隐隐约约，一缕柔和的阳光洒向日葵上，它们面对阳光，好像在和久违不见的阳光父亲敬礼。怎么记得它们已经枯萎呢?现在怎么又打起精神了同，沉睡了一晚，也应该变得更好!花瓣还是依旧，那么金黄，那么耀眼;花蕊还是依旧，饱含着水份又带着甜蜜。啊!如果我能变身，我愿作凡高笔下的一朵向日葵，永远昂首挺胸，永远带着希望，永远面对太阳。

又搬家了，但我还是带着这幅向日葵。只不过，它总是在一瞬间又焕发生机，焕发着青春，因为我知道，画像中的向日葵是永不凋零。

之后，我的房间容不下它，但它依旧伴随着我，度过春夏秋冬。那永不凋零的花啊!我要像你一样，永远昂着挺胸，永远充满希望，永远不凋零——即使我凋零了，也会在人们的心中永远绽放出美丽的笑脸……

Mom:

I have not written to you for at least twelve years. I did not expect to

write to you about such a thing in the third year after your son went to

work.

Have you any idea how I felt after I answered the phone from dad this

evening? I didnt expect that you should be angry with your son for such a thing

and make the whole family uneasy.

I called you last Saturday, you said your cell phone will be out of

service, I said mom, I will give you a few days to pay the phone fee. Although

you said no, I still insist that I will pay for you in a few days. Actually,

this matter son is to have a fault, did not pay mobile phone fee for you

immediately. That morning we just finished invigilating a Chinese exam, there

was no invigilation in the afternoon, so I accompanied your daughter-in-law to

go shopping. True, there were a lot of mobile offices on the road, but I just

didnt stop. Not intentionally, but the son really forgot, really forgot to pay

for you. Maybe because we havent come out for a long time, we havent come out

from the 15th day of the first lunar month to last Saturday, because the weather

is bad, it always rains, and most importantly, we dont have much time. As a

matter of fact, you know your son is busy with his work. Your son is leading the

graduating class for the first time this year. He has two Chinese classes and a

head teacher. Your daughter-in-law is taking two classes in English. The most

important thing is that your daughter-in-law has been pregnant for four months.

You all know that. Because there are only 80 days to go before the college

entrance examination, and our school did not do well in the second simulation

exam, the class your son teaches only scored medium in this exam, the class

teacher and teacher who did poorly in this exam will write a review, and the

principal will personally hold a teacher symposium for your class. Your son is a

young man who just started to work. I think highly of this job. You have also

taught your son to be a success, and your son is working hard in this direction.

Dont I work so hard just to argue for you?

I just mentioned that your daughter-in-law is four months pregnant, so now

she is the key object of protection in our family. In the family where I work,

there are only two of us living and everything in the family is left to me. If I

dont buy food for a day, I have no food for a day. No matter when I come home

at noon every day, I always have to cook at home, and no matter what time I come

home every night, I have to cook dinner. No matter how tired your son is, the

POTS and bowls are always washed by your son. Mom, my son is so tired.

The pressure from work has made my son a little out of breath. Really,

every morning at 6:30 am to the class to guard the students morning reading, I

take Chinese class, Monday on Friday there is also a language morning reading,

also asked to sit in the class, the middle should guard the students on 9:50 to

10:20 small self-study, generally from 6:30 am to work to 11 o clock can go

home from work. Sometimes I have my fourth class and I get home at twelve o

clock sharp. But still silently suffer. After having lunch at noon, my son will

come to the class at about one o clock to watch over the students for their

lunch break. In the afternoon also asked to sit, of course, there are afternoon

classes, the son still have to go.

Sometimes go home after school is 5:35, at six o clock or so will be to

the class to watch the students late practice, and night self-study, night back

home is 11:00 more, mother, son very tired.

Mom, I think very selfishly, I dont want to grow up, because when I was a

child, you will take care of me, I dont have to worry about food and clothing.

I did not expect to grow up so much trouble, so much pressure. Life a lot of

things to me, all the ups and downs to fall on the shoulders of my a person,

mother ah, my favorite mom, son grew up, the son is responsible for the society

and school family give me, but the son, after all, or the son, your son, after

all, only 27 years old, 27 of how I felt as a child, although I have a family,

as the RenFu, soon as parents, but I always so young shoulders pressure big,

mother, son, really very tired very tired.

Mom, your son is a man. How can he tell anyone these words? Even your

daughter-in-law sometimes doesnt feel the pressure of your son. Mother, how I

want to sit down, sit on your side to and you happy talk, son want to let you

listen to not know more, want you also to share the sons a little bit more,

but, son always too busy to go home during the Spring Festival is just eat a

meal, and busy with relatives happy New Year, what time to sit down and talk to

you? Mother, my good mother, your son and you have many times in the dream chat,

your son and you are the most conversable ah, I remember when I was a child in

your side, but I told you everything. Remember the second day, the son of a girl

for you and write a love letter to the photos, your son is told the others write

love letter things to you, later, or you help the idea of rejected this door

"good thing", there are a lot of things son was willing to share with you, oh,

mother, as time goes by slowly, your son is also grew up in slowly. By the

original at your side, then went to college in xinxiang, then went to college in

xinyang, to the present work, gradually away from you, the son of you always not

in your side, although a week is also a two telephone, although every time is 20

minutes of talk time, but you still cant share all your son, gradually, mom,

you have misunderstood your son.

Son really wanted to give you money, but is in this Wednesday, because I

change a day of the examination paper on Sunday, the Sunday afternoon to

supervise, and on Sunday night self-study, that one day, your son at the end of

the volume change is very sick, because 170 Chinese papers, want to change down

in most, it is not easy, on Monday, the time you have two classes in the

morning, the son of, to do morning reading and research meeting to be held in

the afternoon, on Monday night I have night self-study, is four lessons on

Tuesday, Wednesday, when I said go to pay the phone bill for you, but this time

your phone has been through. I called you several times last night to tell you

about this, and finally got your call around eight o clock. I explained a lot

to you at that time, just in case you were angry. I didnt expect that my father

called me tonight and said that you were really angry and furious. Mom, my son

is really sad. I didnt expect you to be like this because of something like

this. After all, I am a piece of your flesh, mother, and you must not

misunderstand your son. Your son, who has always loved you dearly.

I love you, Mom.

Yesterday, I took the final exam of this term. I worked hard to prepare for it, but I was still nervous. I was afraid that I couldn’t do it well. I had three exams, Chinese, math and English. In the morning, it was the Chinese. It was not so difficult for me that I was sure I could be good in it. Then, it was math in the afternoon. It’s the part I was afraid of most. Not surprised, I met some troubles in math exam. But I still hope they wouldn’t be serious. I am good at English, so I didn’t worry about it. I knew I can do well in it. In short, the final exam was not so hard for me and I am quite sure the scores will be perfect.

[关于期末考试的英文作文

温暖的阳光穿梭于微隙的气息。舒倘，漫长。紫檀的香味，弥漫在春日，把天地间一切空虚盈满，阳光下，是一道纤绝的尘陌，呢喃着天真，充盈着那抹曾经深不可测的孤清而飘逸的身影。

若雪是小时候邻居家的孩子，但因为天生体弱多病，很少去学校，所以没什么朋友，不过也正是因为这样，我才能成为她唯一的朋友吧。若雪喜欢向日葵，但她却从不告诉我为什么，为此让我郁闷了许久。

若雪热爱音乐，并且拉得一手好琴，她说等她的病好了，她就带着小提琴环游世界，让更多的人感受的音乐的美好。她每天都这样说着，我也不厌其烦的听着。可是到最后我开始烦了，那是第一次，同样也是最后一次。

那天的我心情没来由的很不好，去找若雪的时候，听着一成不变的梦想了，我向她说了一句连自己都后悔的话“这种梦想根本就不可能实现吧！若雪，你还是想想现在吧！”说完，自己也怔了一下，转头看到若雪震惊的面容。但说出的话就如泼出去的水，是无法收回的。“那你呢，总比连梦都没有的你好吧，总比活在阴影中的你好吧！”那一刻，我无法在控制自己的情绪，因为我们两个人，都触碰了彼此的禁忌。友谊就因为这样，断绝了。

后来我再也没有见到过她，因为后来我搬家了。我有想过向她说一声对不起，但那时她已沉浸在茫茫人海当中，无论怎么找也找不到了。最后一次见到她是在信里，我回家乡游玩时，碰到了当年的班主任，他说若雪让他把这封信交给我。那时我才知道为什么我怎样找都找不到若雪的原因了，因为她在我搬家的那一天，因病离世。在信中她写了许多我想对她说的话，但唯有一句让我泪流不止。

‘我喜欢向日葵，是因为他能够追随属于自己的阳光，所以我也要追随自己的梦想。梦想或许遥不可及，但努力了，总会有收获的’

是的，我们都是坚强倔强的向日葵，日日夜夜不知疲惫的追寻心中的太阳。
