用英语描述一只可爱的小白兔【最新20篇】

我家养了一只小白兔，我很喜欢跟它玩，小白兔的尾巴很短，像个小绒球贴在屁股上，蹦跳的时候，一撅一撅的可有意思了。毛软软的，雪白雪白的小白兔的眼睛红红的，犹如两颗红宝石。

有一次，我放学回到家，小白兔看见我，飞快地跑过来，好像在说：“小主人，你回来啦?”我高兴地把它捧在手里，我觉得手上热乎乎的、软棉棉的，乌亮的小眼睛像水珠似地动着，小巧玲珑的鼻子一抖一抖地喘着气。

小白兔爱吃青草、野菜、大白菜不过它最爱吃胡萝卜，我喂它时，手里拿着胡萝卜，塞进笼子里，小折兔就高兴地吃起来。随着它小小的三瓣嘴一张一合，胡萝卜渐渐短了，不一会儿就吃完了。它就咪起眼睛，缩起四条腿，趴在笼子里，浑身团成一个球，就舒舒服服地睡觉了。

这就是我家养的小白兔，它又可爱又听话，是我的好朋友，它给我带来无穷的乐趣!

我有一只讨人喜欢的小白兔。

它浑身长满了毛茸茸的白毛，远远看去像一团棉花。一双红红的眼睛被白毛包住了，嵌在眼窝里，像镶着两颗红宝石……它有一条又小又短的尾巴，正如俗话说的“兔子尾巴长不了。”

它是我在宠物店看到的，不知道是宠物店老板故意留下这么讨人喜欢的小白兔来吸引人们，还是只想多赚你点钱才卖这么珍稀的小动物的，我立马被吸引了，就叫爸妈买下这只讨人喜欢的小白兔。

刚进家门，小白兔就对这里充满了好奇，在笼子里上蹦下跳，当它逐渐熟悉这里时，也就是它和我混熟时，我看到它的眼睛里充满了悲伤，一动不动，连饭都不吃了，我十分心疼。我心想：它一定想家了吧！我就亲切地对它说：“别伤心了，下午我就带你回家。”

时间过得真快啊！转眼间到了下午，我马上跑到一片森林里，准备放走小白兔。可我有点不舍，就把我的梦想告诉小白兔，让它带着我的梦想出发。它跑到远处，用感激的目光看着我，渐渐地跑走了。远处，小白兔小小的身姿，活泼可爱，活像一个欢乐的小孩，消失在黑暗的森林里，仿佛在森林里找到了自已的妈妈。

这就是我见过最讨人喜欢的小白兔！

小白兔，一种活泼可爱的小动物。它能给人们带来欢乐，她的可爱的姿态，令我十分喜爱。

它的全身雪白雪白的，远远看去就如同一团白雪，没有一点别的颜色。白的动人，白的美丽，白的纯洁。如同那洁白的玉石雕刻成的艺术品。

它的眼睛是红色的，红色中，还微微透着一丝淡蓝，好像两颗闪闪发光的红宝石，向周围扫视着，仔细的观察着周围的动静。她的耳朵又大又长，而且摸起来绵绵的。只要听见一点轻微的声音，就会以“迅雷不及掩耳之势”，“唰”，飞快的撒腿街跑。

它灵巧的向四面转动，寻找着发出声音的地方，警惕的细听是不是敌人靠近了，即使是脚步再轻，即使是毫无声息，只要有一点轻微的响动，同样就会被它发觉得一清二楚。它有三瓣嘴唇，上唇两瓣，下唇一瓣，可爱极了。

而他吃东西的形象，更是可发一笑！吃起东西来，它的嘴张的大大的，发出一阵“啧，啧，啧”的响声，似乎是在赞赏食物的好吃，还是在为了防弊敌人攻击，而拼命抢时间吃下去呢？它的前腿短，后肢长，强劲有力的后肢轻轻一蹦，就能蹦得很远。想一个三级跳远的运动员。他那短短的尾巴，好像挂在屁股后面的小绒球。蹦跳的时候，一摇一摆的，又好像大风中摇动的银铃。

我和小白兔经常去草坪上玩耍，每次都玩的很快乐。每当它玩起来，会翻跟头，但是翻跟头的样子很滑稽。有一次，我与小白兔出去玩耍，来到草坪上，见这里没多少人，我便放下了小兔，于是它就如同箭一般，飞快的向斜坡跳去。我急忙跟着他跑去，想拦住它，可是来不及了，小白兔已经滚了下去，想一个可爱的、圆滚滚的小球。后来小兔把脚蜷了起来，就不停的翻着跟头，我站在那里，看着小白兔，不停地笑着，因为，这是我第一次遇见小白兔翻跟头，第一次发觉到他的本领，等到我把小白兔抱上来，它已经变成一只小灰兔了，浑身脏兮兮的，我赶紧给他洗了个澡。

小白兔多么惹人喜爱啊！我们也要从现在做起：爱护小动物，人人都是一份子！

有人喜欢乖巧的小猫，有人喜欢美丽的金鱼，还有人喜欢顽皮的小狗，而我，最喜欢我家的小白兔，我给它取名叫小白。

小白浑身的毛像雪一样白，远看就像一个小雪球，小白的耳朵尖尖的，像一片小树叶，最有趣的就数它那可爱的三瓣嘴，吃东西的时候一张一合，真可爱！还有小白的尾巴，软软的，手感很好，它的前腿短，后腿长，跑得可快了！

小白喜欢吃萝卜和白菜。每次，我刚把饭拿出来，它就可怜巴巴的望着我，好像在说：“主人，快点，我快饿死了！”它的听觉很灵敏，就算再细小的声音，它都能听到。

小白也是顽皮的时候，有一次我带它散步，我一不注意，它就跑得无影无踪了，害得我叫了好几个人，找了半天才找到。回到家，我想休息一会儿，可小白还围着我绕圈圈，弄的眼睛都花了。这一天下来，可把我累坏了。

虽然小白很顽皮，很淘气，可我还是很喜欢它。

我家养了一只可爱的小白兔，小兔子的眼睛像一对红宝石，嘴巴粉嫩嫩的，嘴巴还是三瓣的呢！它的胡子细长细长的，像一根根鱼刺，耳朵长长的，尖尖的，它的身体雪白雪白的，像一个小雪球一样，它的尾巴短短的，可爱极了！

这只小白兔是我小时候养的。记得那时，我拉着姥姥给我买了一只小兔子，小兔就来到我的家，我们细心喂养，很快它就成了我家的‘巨型’之兔！

记得有一次，姥姥没在家，我就偷偷地把小兔从笼子里放了出来，我把小兔抱在怀里，抚摸着它，突然，它从我怀里跳了出来，吓了我一跳！我追着它，它快速的跳，我好不容易抓到它，它又自己跑了。这时候，我突然听到姥姥开门的声音，姥姥训了我，我也觉得不能把小兔放出来，因为很难抓，它还会在地上拉便便。

小兔爱吃胡萝卜、白菜、青菜、鸡毛菜，它吃东西时的样子也很可爱，嘴巴一动一动的，可好玩啦！

我很喜欢小白兔，它给我带来了很多很多的欢乐，我喜欢小白兔，你喜欢吗？

有着一双红红的眼睛，在它的脸上真是再配不过了。它穿着一身白“裙子”，总是乖巧地看着我。“裙子”上有着一只又小又短的尾巴。你们猜是哪只小动物呢？那当然是小白兔啦！

我家就养了一只小白兔，它爱吃青菜和胡萝卜，我叫它萌萌。

萌萌可闹过许多笑话呢！比如：有一次它饿得不行了！看到笼子边有一个绿色夹子！它以为是青菜，竟然伸嘴去叼那个夹子呢！当它放进嘴里吃时，才发现味道不一样，好难吃啊，吐了出来。嘻嘻，萌萌你上当了吧！

萌萌可不能多洗澡哦，不然它会没命的。我家的萌萌看样子很爱看书哦！因为每当我看书时，它总是乖乖地在我旁边一本正经地对着书，难道它也认识那么多字？在我不开心时，它会来安慰我！在我弹钢琴时它在笼子里随着节奏摇摆着身子。呵呵！这只兔子可真神奇！

我喜欢这只可爱的兔子，它是我最好的伙伴！

小白兔是一种可爱的动物，很讨人喜欢。

它四肢灵活，行动敏捷。小小的鼻子上，有一双红红的眼睛。身上毛茸茸的毛，柔软得像一条棉被。一条短而粗的尾巴总放在屁股正面，显得非常可爱。

小白兔跑得非常快。有一次，我和小白兔出去玩，我走着走着，“咦?小白兔哪去了?”原来小白兔到草丛里去了，我用手一抓，没抓到，又用手一抓，嘿!又没抓到，因为小白兔跑得实在是太快了，我得一路小跑才能追上它。我还小白兔玩起了捉迷藏，我躲在树后，小白兔根据我的气味找到了我。小白兔真聪明。小白兔最喜欢吃白菜和切片的胡萝卜，有时给它苹果它也吃，吃东西的时候总是一小口一小口地吃，细嚼慢咽的样子真好玩。晚上的时候，它睡在纸箱子里，我还在纸箱子里放一些白菜和胡萝卜，我会在在纸箱子里放些麦草，如果它大小便了，我会保持它清洁。

小白兔给我的生活添加了许多乐趣，我要爱护小白兔，保护小白兔，不让它受到伤害。

在茂密的森林里住着几只活泼可爱的小白兔。

小白兔可真漂亮。一双红宝石般的眼睛，镶嵌在它那圆圆的脸上，我猜它一定是得了“红眼病”。灵敏的长耳朵，一定是不听话时，兔爸爸揪长的。它前腿短后腿长，跑起来快极了，“龟兔赛跑”说乌龟比兔子跑得快，一定是冤枉它了。小白兔穿着一件白花花的雪中飞“羽绒服，摸上去光滑、柔软、美丽动人，如果让它来做”海飞丝“的广告，一定不错！再仔细一看，后面还挂着个”小绒球“，这是小兔毛茸茸的短尾巴。

小白兔真聪明。这天，它跟着妈妈到森林里采蘑菇，见妈妈采的蘑菇都很难看，就一心想采几个好看的蘑菇，它忽然发现远处有几个五颜六色的蘑菇，高兴地跑去摘。”不能摘，不能摘！“兔妈妈摇着手焦急喊道。”为什么？“小兔收回刚准备摘蘑菇，转过身来好奇地问。”这蘑菇有毒，不能吃！“小兔明白了：闪光的东西并不都是金子，动听的语言并不都是好话。

小白兔真有趣。你看，它吃东西的时候，三瓣嘴一嚼一嚼的，像个没牙的老太太吃毛豆儿，实在是太又趣了。

看呀！多么可爱的一只小白兔。

放寒假的时候，我和爸爸妈妈去外婆家玩。我们刚要走进门，就觉得有个什么东西窜过去了。我们一看，原来是一只小白兔。

小白兔的毛是雪白的。它像个白雪球。它的耳朵长长的，红红的眼睛像两颗红宝石。小巧玲珑的鼻子下有一张三瓣嘴。嘴巴两边长着细细的胡子，胡子还一翘一翘的。它的尾巴短短的，真是兔子尾巴长不了。

我拿来一根胡萝卜逗它。我一会儿把胡萝卜举得高高的，一会儿放得低低的。看着它可怜的样子，我把胡萝卜放在地上。它一边吃胡萝卜，一边不时地盯着我看，生怕我又把胡萝卜抢走。

小白兔真可爱啊!

My family has a kitten, it is lovely, fun, friendly, and I have deep feelings.

Every day after school home into the room, kitten ran over meow and cried, with the body rub me, it has become an indispensable part of life.

I really like this kitten, I really hope that every day and it can play.

还记得我一开始养的小白兔吗。原先它只有一丁点大，现在已经成了一直大白兔了，原先的小笼子乘不上他，就换了个大笼子，现在它什么都吃，比如：煎饼，麦子什么的，兔子现在都可以用两个字形容：吃货，一开始买兔子的时候那个人说一天喂两次，结果现在好了小学生作文作文人网你也可以投稿，一天喂三四次还不太够，真是名副其实的吃货啊。兔子现在可调皮了，它总是把喝水的碗当成厕所。

每次我一去看兔子，它就从笼子里探出头来问我要吃的，好可爱啊，我和它越来越亲近，一开始买来小兔子，它看了我总是有一丝害怕，总是躲着我。但是，经过了这一段时间，我和它越来越熟悉，它也不避着我了，而且还喜欢让我和它玩，只不过上学期间，妈妈给我放在饭店里，尽量不让我在兔子的事情上分心，不知道兔子现在怎么样了，啊，小兔子你一定要好好活下来。

好了，我的去看兔子了。

我家养了一只可爱的小白兔，那只小白兔还有一个好朋友——我。

小白兔的耳朵长长的，白里透红，眼睛圆溜溜的，红彤彤的，它的鼻子粉嘟嘟的，好看极了！它那雪白的毛非常柔软，短短的尾巴就像一个雪白的大绒球。那长长的牙齿又白又亮，多像晶莹剔透的钻石呀！它的胡须又细又长，并且是透明的，站在远处，你根本察觉不到那又细又长的胡须呢！它的后腿有些弯曲，前腿和后退都有些短。

有一次，我一回到家，就看见小白兔在笼子里可怜巴巴的。于是，我把书包放在沙发上，走到笼子前，打开笼子，它就像木乃伊离开了棺材，高兴极了！它蹦蹦跳跳地离开了“牢笼”，跳到了地上。我就和它一起玩了起来！开始，它非常害怕我，总是离我有一米远，我见了，连忙跑上去，抱住了它，轻轻地抚摸它的身体。原先，我抚摸它一次，它的身体就颤动一次。我抚摸它久了，它的身体不再颤动，反而变得温顺起来了。就这样，我和它成为了好朋友！

有一天，我外婆把老家的那只小猫带来了。小猫从口袋里钻了出来，看了看这个新世界。我把小白兔放了出来，本想让小猫和小白兔一起玩耍，可是却引起了它们之间的打架“事件”！起初，小白兔走过去，想和小猫一起做朋友，可是小猫一遇到小动物就会生气，“喵——喵——喵”小猫拱起背，把它隐藏好的爪子伸出来，不断的发出这种叫声。于是，我们来了一场“官司”。原告：小白兔被告：小猫法官这个职位当然归我莫属啦！原告：“我只是想和小猫做朋友，可是我还没说话，它就打我！”我当然是想让它们和好啦！于是，我没等小猫还嘴，然后郑重宣布：“‘官司’结束，不输不赢，重归于好！”小猫不为这场“官司”生气，而且很快和小白兔做成了好朋友呢！

这只小白兔不仅雪白、漂亮，而且非常得好玩呢！

我家以前养了许多小动物，如小狗、小猫、小鸟、小鱼、小白兔……，在这许多小动物中，最令我难忘的是那只可爱的小白兔。我给它取名“小可爱”。

小可爱长着两条长长的耳朵，两只红宝石似的大眼睛，一张三瓣嘴，它的尾巴很短，前腿长后腿短，走超路来一蹦一跳的，可爱极了。我在小可爱的笼子里放了一个碗，碗里放了些水，又拿来几片大白菜叶子和几个胡萝卜放在笼子里，我还用两条毛线和一根木棍做成一个荡秋千挂在笼子里，这样小可爱在笼子里就不会太闷了。

小可爱吃饭的时候可爱极了，我敢保证大家看了后都会哈哈大笑。我从厨房拿来几片白菜叶子放进笼子里，小可爱迫不及待的吃了起来，它吃东西的时候小心翼翼，生怕把它那“干净的衣服”弄脏，所以它前腿蹲着，后腿弓着，吃到一半时，它会突然到碗里喝水。每每看到这样，我就会哈哈大笑。可是我一笑，它也停止了喝水，眼睛盯着我，好像在说：“什么声音?地震了吗?同时做出要跑的姿势，我就更觉得好笑了。

有一次，我带小可爱出去散步，当我们走到小区附近公园的一片草地上时，突然有一只狗向我们这边跑来，小可爱吓的到处乱跑，也不知想要跑向何方，我被它拉的东倒四歪的，差点跌了跟头。回到家里，我生气的盯着它，小可爱也可怜巴巴的看着我，好像在说：“对不起呀!我也不是故意的，都怪那只狗”。

我爱我的小白兔!

我家有一只可爱的小白兔，毛茸茸的白毛，远远看去像白云一样，真是美丽极了！

耳朵长长的，竖起来很高，时刻听周围的动静，像“胆小鬼”一样，只要一听到有风吹草动，吓得立马躲起来。火红火红的大眼睛很闪亮，像两颗红宝石一样美丽极了。最有趣的是小白兔的三瓣嘴，你瞧它吃起东西来飞快，嘴巴抖来抖去像打机关枪一样飞快。尾巴短短的像被什么东西咬去一截似的，有时弯曲像小绒球一样。前两条腿短，后两条腿长，跳高和跑步都是高手中的高手呢！吃起胡萝卜来飞快，小脑袋抖起来很可爱，缩成一团，像排球一样。有时趴着睡觉，前后腿向前后一伸就呼呼睡起大觉来。小白兔最爱玩，一会儿跳到这，一会儿跳到那，有时还挠痒痒。有一次，我带小白兔去玩，小白兔飞快地冲出门，好像在说：“小主人，小主人，我在家里闷坏了，你可以放我自由啦！”

这就是我喜欢的小白兔。

"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.
