在这新学期来临之际,新年的钟声渐渐消逝,我们也从过节的快乐中走出,投入到紧张的学习生活之中,因此制定这个学习计划。

首先,应该先纠正自己的学习态度。“态度决定一切!”心态是取得成功的一个非常关键的环节,拥有好的心态,就会拥有好的成绩!

在这学期里,要加强自己不擅长的科目,在语文上,除了把课文中的内容、知识掌握好以外,还应多读一些课外书,如名人名著等。还要再想些办法提高自己的阅读、写作能力,不能只想课内不管课外了。“好记性不如烂笔头。”记好每一次的笔记,认真对待每一次的习作练习,只有基础扎实了,才可以累计更多。数学,不能只明白课本上的习题应怎么做就够了,如果要学好它,就必须在课外再花一些时间来钻研和多做一些练习。上课仔细听讲,弄懂每一个问题,作业及时完成,追求质量和速度,回家做好预习、复习工作。早晚多听读外语,多积累一些单词,提高英语各方面的水平。从良好的基础上向着更高的目标出发。

最后,也是最关键的一点,就是要科学安排时间,没有合理的安排,再好的计划也会付之东流。所以,在新学期里,最要学会的就是要合理安排学习、娱乐、休息的时间,要把每一点一滴宝贵的时间都抓紧。

新学期,新打算,也为新的目标努力。

时间似流水般飞速逝去,一个寒假转眼间就过去了。唉,新学期就要开始了。又要趴在书山上,泡在作业还中了。但是与老师同学又要在一起生活了,我感到十分激动与开心。

新学期就要开始了,起跑线上的你是否准备好了呢?我可以很自豪的说,i‘mready(*^__^*)嘻嘻……

首先,上次期末的成绩令我感觉还ok啦,但我是绝对不会骄傲的啦!虚心使人进步,骄傲使人落后嘛!小孩子都懂啦,我也不能太out哦,所以我得继续努力,争取上全年级的200名,全班上前十名。【别误会,全年级1300多名,全班790多人呢。】

其次,我体育方面不是特别好。为了德、智、体、美、劳全面发展,我要坚持锻炼身体。就甭提我的体格有多差劲了,围着200米的操场跑三圈,腿就没知觉了。这也太不给力了吧!我虽不是什么胖子,但作剧烈运动之后真的很喘。我一定要坚持锻炼。说起来容易做起来难,但我一定督促自己绝不会像上次一样第一天就贪睡了十分钟。唉,家丑不可外扬,告诉你了,你可千万别说出去哦!

关于读书方面,我从小就又每晚睡前读两页书的习惯,我要坚持下去。让妈妈再买几套书,这样有助于我提升自己的文学修养。

我在人际交往方面,的确不是特别的好,在这个新学期,我一定要努力努力再努力,这样跑道上才有我的拉拉队。首先,我要多多走近同学们,用心去感染每一个同学让他们知道内向的我也有可爱活波的一面。让他们与我成为朋友。这个不爱说话的坏毛病,我也一定要改。

改的就先放一放,再说说学。

听隔壁的张阿姨说,她家女儿巧巧,做的炒米饭可香啦!果真是名不虚传,我也吃过,真的很好吃哦!对她的赞美中我也有一丝丝脸红。因为我刚刚会煮方便面,打个荷包蛋多弄的满手的蛋清。呜呜。可是我不能让她超过我,从这个学期开始我也学做炒米饭,就不相信比她做得差。且!另外我还要学做家务,比她各方面都好。哼我不信我做不到。

还有,我也不是一个爱好都没有的。比如,钢琴。提到这两个字眼,叮叮咚咚的声音仿佛萦绕在耳际,这个爱好,仿佛是我在跑道上的巧克力,让我放松紧绷的精神,增加能量,让成绩更高效率的进步。可谓是劳逸结合嘛!

篇19:关于元宵节英语

全文共 6620 字

There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.

But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and

cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the

higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light

each year.

One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven

in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny

of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided

when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.

Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the

emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to

bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of

the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he

proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would

last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.

Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the

Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of

the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of

entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which

they pray for good fortune.

Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival

speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted

and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because

the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy

the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this

plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.

The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their

imminent destruction.

However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should

hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and

explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the

village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar

day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw

that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the

Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.

From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every

year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and

fireworks.

There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is

about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the

emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying

and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her

and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was

Yuan-Xiao.

She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the

palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the

chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern

promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern

left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised

himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for

their fortunes.

But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th

lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and

asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of

Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in

red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her

mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people

asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to

check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from

Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.

I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You

should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to

the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in

trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on

the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.

Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that

the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often

cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.

Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give

an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the

same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang

red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people

outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern

decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be

deceived.

Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed

the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th

lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of

noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into

the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern

and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her

parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han

Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since

Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao

Festival.

Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.

Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns

were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer

has such implications.

Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern

parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional

Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is

guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang

Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant

harvest, prosperity and love.
