我小小年纪却迷恋上了写小说。嘿!你们可别小瞧了我,我可是我们班的“写作达人”呢!可是,就是我喜欢写小说这一爱好,却遭到了很多人的非议。

我被那些非议我的人冷眼过、嘲笑过、甚至讽刺过。你们知道一个还没上六年级的小女生被这样评价是多么大的伤害啊,这些人给我的心灵上抹上了一条不可抹擦掉的伤痕。

自从我看过“阳光姐姐小说派《我们班就是一个江湖》”评价了这篇小说后,她的一些话让我印象很深刻:至于你们写小说的目的是什么呢?我认为只有一点——为了快乐!所以你们写小说,完全不必去迷信权威的看法,你们可以完全听从自己心灵的呼唤,大胆的构思,自由的表达,只要是发自内心的文字,都是很有价值的!

我完全同意“阳光姐姐”的这一看法,我们想写小说,是我们的自由,大人们凭什么干涉我们的自由。“小孩和小孩,不带大人玩儿”大人们口口声声说为我们好,假如你们真的为我们好,请你们站在我们的角度上想一想,好吗?

The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival of the han. It is a very important festival in our hometown, so every year the Dragon Boat Festival is very busy.

The Dragon Boat Festival is the most indispensable, nature is zongzi, every year the grandmother of the Dragon Boat Festival and everyone will pack hundreds of big dumplings! There are many kinds of dumplings, such as reed leaves, bamboo shoots, wild leaves and lotus leaves. But our hometown is a lot of reeds, so most of them are wrapped in reeds. First, grandma "rate the army" to pick reed leaves. When picking reed leaves, a large family listens to grandmothers labor trumpet: "come on! A zongzi three leaf! Hundreds of zongzi thousands of pieces, hey, come on!" Listen to the drum of the "general", "little soldier" more effort! After the reed leaves, just burn them. But the preparation material is not so simple, still have to go to the bazaar to buy the good red bean, the pork, the peanut, the plate millet, the jujube and the glutinous rice, also buy the red line!

Of course, the most fun time is when you make zongzi. When making zongzi, the man is responsible for cutting the meat into small pieces. Women are responsible for the washing of red beans and glutinous rice. The child was responsible for washing the basin clean, and then putting the mans work in a large basin. The older people are in charge. When everything is ready, the dumplings are started. The adults are working harder, and the kids? Is playing in a side, always when the adults do not pay attention to, to steal a couple of dates, mouth on the surface seems to be a little things didnt do, but in my heart secretly complacent - because jujube is delicious!

The final step is boiled dumplings, grandpa always keep the temperature of fire to grasp well, smell very sweet, very strong, if eating zongzi in the first, you can see the meat dumplings are always tender oil and see jujube rice dumplings are always the golden tender; The eight-treasure zongzi is always delicious, and we are cute.

Last year, my grandparents might have made zongzi, if they hadnt taken care of my uncle and aunt in yancheng. I was suddenly "disgusted" with my uncle, aunt, who had a good economic condition, why not find a babysitter? Take my joyful Dragon Boat Festival and zongzi all "take away", I be so angry! Or miss the delicious dumplings!

端午节是汉族的传统节日。在我们的家乡算得上是个特别重要的节日,所以每年的端午节都过得异常热闹。

端午节最不可少的,自然是粽子,每年端午节外婆和大家都会包上几百个大粽子呢!包粽子虽然有很多种,比如芦苇叶、竹笋叶、菰叶、藕叶等。但我们的家乡是芦苇比较多,所以大多都用芦苇叶包了。首先,外婆“率兵”去采芦苇叶。采芦苇叶时,一大家子听着外婆的劳动号子:“加油!一个粽子三片叶子!上百个粽子几千片,嘿哟,加油!”听了“将军”的鼓劲,“小兵”们更加卖力了!采完芦苇叶,现在只要将它们暴晒就行了。但准备材料可没有这么简单哟,还得去集市上买来上好的红豆、猪肉、花生、板粟、蜜枣与糯米,还要买红线呢!

当然,最好玩的时候还是包粽子的时候。包粽子时,男人负责把肉切成不大不小的块儿;女人负责洗红豆、糯米之类的;小孩负责把大盆洗干净,再把大人加工好的东西装在大盆里;而老人们则负责指挥。一切准备好之后,就开始包粽子了。大人们干得格外卖力,而小孩们呢?却在一旁玩着,总是在大人们不注意时,偷一两颗蜜枣往嘴里塞,表面上似乎一点儿事都没做,可心里却暗暗自喜——因为蜜枣太好吃了!

最后一步就是煮粽子,烧火的外公总是把火候把握的很好,味道很香、很浓,如果在第一时间内吃粽子,你看到的肉粽子总是嫩地流油,看到的蜜枣粽子总是金黄柔嫩;看到的八宝粽子总是很可口,我们可爱吃了。

去年,要不是为了去盐城替舅舅、舅妈照顾表哥,外公外婆可能在包粽子哩。我突然有些“厌恶”舅舅、舅妈,他们家的经济条件不错,为什么不找个保姆?把我的欢乐端午节和粽子都“夺走了”,我好生气呀!也好怀念那味香色美的粽子呀!

Since I was very small, I was very shy in the public place, so I always

avoided giving performance in front of so many people. Though I tried hard to

get over it in school, I still felt uneasy in the public place. When I came to

the job market, I realized that I must get over my fear, or I would lose my

stage.

I still remembered the horrible experience for my first interview. Early in

the morning, I got a called that I was given a chance to the job interview. I

felt so excited. When I came to the company, I found there were other six young

people competed with me, then I started to feel nervous. The employers asked us

to sit in the round table and introduced ourselves one by one. When it was my

turn, I lowed down my head and spoke in low voice. Then the employers continued

to let us give speeches in the stage. I lose confidence and made the horrible

performance.

This interview taught me a lesson that I must get over my fear, or I will

lose chances. So I practise hard and dare to stand in the stage.

不知道从什么时候起,我就感觉妈妈喜欢看着我吃饭,自己拿着筷子时不时地往我的碗里夹菜,等我和爸爸吃完后,才开始她的”美餐”------我的剩菜剩菜加残羹冷炙 。

我不喜欢吃鱼,每次妈妈往我碗里夹鱼,我都如数退还,妈妈非常生气,不停地说:”吃鱼聪明,你怎么不吃?”我说:“不好吃”。

我喜欢吃排骨,这道美味佳肴几乎是不可缺少的,妈妈很开心看着我,时不时地往我的碗里夹排骨,但嘴里总是说:“鱼比排骨还好吃,你吃一点?”我还是那三个字。惹得她好不开心。

隔壁的小毛喜欢吃鱼,外号“小猫”。有一天,他家里吃鱼,“小猫”吃的可香了。隔壁的奶奶装了一点给妈妈说是广东的做法。我不想吃,就对妈妈说:“妈妈,你不是说不要随便吃别人的东西吗?难道你忘了?”

过了几天,不知道妈妈什么时候学会了广东做鱼的方法,做了一条清蒸鲈鱼,颜色很好看,说:“这是妈妈自己买的哦,你得试一下哦”, 。妈妈先是勺了点汤倒在我的饭里,我吃了点,的确很好吃,妈妈看了笑的发出了声音,又往我的碗里夹了块鱼说:“没有刺,放心吃吧”。从那以后我喜欢吃鱼了。我和爸爸吃完后,留给妈妈的常常是-----“鱼翅”,当然还有我吃不完的饭。

我慢慢地长大了,上学了。每每涌读“锄禾日当午,汗滴禾下土,谁知盘中餐,粒粒皆辛苦。”对我都是一次感动,渐渐的我的碗里不再有剩菜剩饭,妈妈也和我们一起吃饭了,但仍然喜欢看着我吃饭,时不时地往我的碗里夹鱼,排骨,胡萝卜,青菜好多好吃的。

Nowadays, Hollywood movies dominate the market and many young people take

these superheroes characters as their idols. So some people start to feel

disappointed about the local culture, because they havent seen its essence. As

the world gets globalization, it is in need of building peoples sense of local

cultural heritage.

The preservation of our cultural heritage is the necessary task. The

culture contains the essence of Chinese peoples spirit, which has been tested

by time. When people admit our culture, we will be proud of being part of the

country, so as to enhance the unity and have the desire to make a contribution

to the society. The loss of cultural heritage will destroy a country, which can

be seen in history.

As the young generation faces the cultural shock in the globalization, so

they are easy to deny the local culture, because they know little about it. Thus

school should implant the education of culture and the government has named a

day called Chinese Cultural Heritage Day, in the purpose of advocating the

essence of local culture. When children grow up, they will fight for protecting

the culture.

时间过得飞快,转眼间春姑娘带着春风,来到了人间。 Time passes fast, and the spring girl came to the world with the spring breeze.

春回大地,万物复苏,小草像机灵的孩子,一个个都从土地里探出了脑袋,像给大地铺上了一层绿地毯,这时,不知什么时候冒出来的小野花绽开了笑脸,有红的,黄的,蓝的,紫的……五彩缤纷,美丽极了,还不时散发着点点香气。

小动物们也全都醒来了,它们个个都活跃起来,小青蛙醒来了,它们在池塘里跳来跳去,尽情的嬉戏玩耍。狗熊也醒来了,它伸了一个大懒腰,埋伏在草丛里,耐心地等待着活泼可爱的鹿上它的当。蛇也睡醒了,它们四处寻找着令它们垂涎三尺的蛋。

春天来了,人们脱去了沉重的棉袄,穿上了轻便的衣服,走起来好似飞一样,孩子们一个个都跑了出去,在田野里、公园里玩耍着,都大声说道:“春天真好!我爱春天!”

春天的夜晚是热闹的,许多不知名的虫儿在开演唱会呢!“唧唧”“喳喳”“嗡嗡”一声高过一声,它们就像一种良药,驱走了夜晚的安静,使周围的环境活跃起来。

春天真好,我爱那美丽的春天。

喜欢黑夜中的月光。喜欢它在一片黑幕中慢慢展开。喜欢那份宁静和典雅。喜欢那淡淡的、但又能照亮一切的微光。

我喜欢那一颗颗闪烁的星星,它们就像天空的眼睛,似乎在观望着这个新奇的世界。它们又像黑色大布上绣着的小花,让黑夜变得更加美丽。

我喜欢那坚强不屈的小草,“野火烧不尽,春风吹又生。”这句诗最能体现小草顽强的品格了,小草虽然没有大树那样高大,没有花儿那么美丽,但它在我心中是最伟大的,因为它拥有大树花儿都做不到的东西——顽强。它常常被人们忽视,甚至被人们才在脚下,可它总是不声不响的抬起头来,毫不屈服。

我喜欢那可爱的小动物们,可爱的小白兔,懒惰的小乌龟,勤快的小老鼠……它们就像快乐的小使者,每当我在花鸟市场看到它们,就会有一阵莫名其妙的轻松和快乐。

我还喜欢浩瀚的大海、高大挺拔的树木、美丽秀气的花儿……你呢?

我爱荷花,爱她的朴素纯洁,爱她的与众不同,更爱她的婀娜多姿,她的风姿盈盈不禁让我败倒在她的石榴裙下,令我如痴如醉。

初夏的荷花是轻姿淡雅,她那幽幽的芳香,殷殷醉人:“荷花送香气,竹露滴清响。"但是“出淤泥而不染,濯清涟而不妖。"的高尚品质更是令人啧啧赞叹。一朵朵含苞欲放的花蕾是一个个闭月羞花的少女不知羞涩还是矜持,亭亭地竖在水面上。

盛夏的荷花更是千姿百态,或含苞欲放,或敞怀盛开,或洁滑冰心,或粉妆脱俗。微风拂过,便散发出缕缕清香。清晨,荷花周围撑开的绿伞是的荷叶上,一颗颗露珠亮若明珠,好像画家用一支画笔饱蘸了粉红色,从上往下,由深到浅画出来一样。荷叶点缀绿波,有风作飘摇之态,无风呈婀娜之姿。到了夜晚,花朵便会闭合,可是即使荷花闭合了,却关不住一池清香。

荷花种类有很多,如:千叶荷。四面荷。并头荷还有奇特的四季荷和夜舒荷,夜舒荷它的叶子入夜舒展,白天反而闭合。在众多荷花中,我最喜欢的还要数白莲。她那雪白的花瓣如玉石般晶莹剔透,洁白无瑕,一尘不染,嫩黄色的花蕊生长在层层叠叠的花瓣中央,像玉碗中的珍珠。在大片碧绿的荷叶衬托下,像一个亭亭玉立的白衣少女正在翩翩起舞。空气中弥漫着淡雅的清香,空气也仿佛凝结了似的。

我爱荷花,爱他的冰清玉洁,爱她的亭亭玉立,更爱她的出淤泥而不染。

春,一个美丽的季节.我喜欢她,因为她宁静,她美丽,她充满生机,她犹如一为亭亭玉立的姑娘,她使世界上的花草树木从寒冷的冬季苏醒过来。 Spring, a beautiful season. I like her because she is quiet, she is beautiful, she is full of vitality, she is like a girl who is a pavilion.Flowers and trees wake up from the cold winter.

春天的脚步近了,小草偷偷地从土里钻出来,嫩嫩的,绿绿的。不管是在园子里还是在田野里,瞧去,一大片一大片满是的.孩子们时而坐者,时而躺着,时而打两个球,时而滚两个球,时而赛几趟跑.风轻轻柔柔的,草软绵软绵的。

不论是桃树,是杏树,还是梨树,都像赶趟儿似的开满了粉的,白的,黄的花儿,你不让我,我不让你的争宠。花下,成千上百的蜜蜂忙着采蜜和传播花粉,大大小小的蝴蝶飞来飞去来凑热闹.有名字,无名字的野花到处都是,站在花丛里,仿佛沉浸在花的世界里,真是美不胜收。

春雨连绵的时节来了,一下就是两三天。你要是气恼的话,不妨仔细看看它,细如牛毛,如花针,像帘子一样遮住你少许视线,这样看起来,叶子更晶莹剔透了,草青得更耀眼了,空气清新得想让你出去走一走,一个冬天闷在家里,没有新鲜空气,怎能抗拒这样的诱惑呢?

渐渐的,雨停了,太阳终于重黑暗的冬天苏醒过来了。俗话说:一年之计在于春。春天虽是懒散的,但也是富有生命力和希望的。

春天不管是在哪一年,哪一时刻,都是让人留念的季节。我喜欢春天!你和我一样吗?

篇20:中秋节小学生英语作文

全文共 2303 字

Moonquakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival what mince pies are to Christmas. The seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. And the moon is what this celebration is all about. Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month,it is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest.

There are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating moonquakes. One Tang Dynasty myth holds that the Earth once had 10 suns circling it. One day all 10 suns appeared at once,scorching the planet with their heat.

It was thanks to a skillful archer named Hour Yi that the Earth was saved. He shot down all but one of the suns. As his reward,the Heavenly Queen Mother gave Hour Yi the Elixir of Immortality,but she warned him that he must use it wisely.

Hour Yi ignored her advice and,corrupted by fame and fortune,became a tyrannical leader. Chang-Err,his beautiful wife, could no longer stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his Elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath. And thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon,the Moon Fairy.

The second legend has it that during the Yuan Dynasty,an underground group led by Zhu Yuan Zing was determined to rid the country of Mongolian dominance. The moon cake was created to carry a secret message.

When the cake was opened and the message read,an uprising was unleashed which successfully routed the Mongolians. It happened at the time of the full moon,which,some say,explains why moonquakes are eaten at this time.

Moonquakes are usually stamped with Chinese characters indicating the name of the ry and the type of filling used. Some ries will even stamp them with your family name so that you can give personalized ones to friends and family.

They are usually presented in boxes of four which indicate the four phases of the moon. Traditional moonquakes are made with melted lard,but today vegetable oil is more often used in the interests of health.

Moonquakes are not for the diet-conscious as they are loaded with calories. The best way to wash down one of these sticky cakes is with a cup of Chinese tea,especially Jasmine or Chrysanthemum tea,which aids the digestion.
