英语作文50词左右my family（精彩20篇）

I once got on a taxi of which the owner is a faithful reader of mine. On

the hurtling bus, The driver asked me : “Mr.Lin, could you tell me what is

meaning of living?”

He was the first one who asked me such a question about the life, and I was

dumb to be asked suddenly.

Suddenly, the couplet which hanged on the wall of the auditorium of my

middle school was floating on my mind.

The purpose of living is to develop the living quality of mankind.

(the purpose of living is to promote the living standard of mankind;)

The meaning of life is to create the supervene lives of universe.

(the meaning of life is to carry on the continuum of the universe)

And then, I talked to the driver, “The meaning of life is to make a

difference in your mind and soul, meanwhile, do something good and devote

yourself to the world everyday.”

When I have said all this, we were just gone through Renai Road, where were

standing beautiful trees of the each side. It is there that I saw the pretty

flower blooming on the ceiba trees. How beautiful they are.

When we are making progress, that means we are ‘blooming’for ourselves. Out

willing of devoting to our world is a flower for the world.

The Olympic Games will be held this year.I am so excited and I think the

people who are curious to learn. Alsowe can go on the streets to find the

problems such as putting away the trash anywheresaying out the impolite

我的朋友是***。我和他虽然说不上是什么铁哥们，但关系还是不错的。

他长得瘦瘦的，看起来文质彬彬，很是绅士。他读书很多，属于我们班的读书名人。

他最喜欢玩橡皮大战游戏。每天中午吃过饭，我们就一起玩橡皮大战。橡皮大战就是每个人用自己的橡皮来斗，谁的橡皮先掉在地上，谁就算输。这种比赛分成两种模式：打斗模式和杀怪模式。打斗模式是互相打斗，而杀怪模式是几个人一起杀一个巨大的橡皮。因为***的橡皮有点小，所以，每次他都很快败下阵来，但他仍然十分喜爱这个游戏。

一天中午，我们又像往常一样，吃过饭一起玩橡皮大战，今天玩的是杀怪模式——巨人城废墟。结果玩得乱七八糟，闹哄哄的。这时王泽宇来捣乱，老是挤我，我说：“没和你玩，请你走开。”他理也不理，又对***说：“看，这个是炸弹，谁碰我，谁就死!”***又对他说：“请你走开!”王泽宇嬉皮笑脸地说道：“这是流星雨，砸到谁，谁就死。”***终于火了，说：“不玩了!”于是，我们只好各拿各的东西走了。你瞧，他发火都很有绅士风度哟。

还有一次，我们玩橡皮大战，***想起了上次闹哄哄的场景，就对大家说：“请各位把音量调到1——3度，和我现在说话的声音一样。”他的幽默，令在场的同学都哈哈大笑了起来。

这就是我的好朋友***——一个很有绅士风度，又很幽默的男孩。希望我和他的友谊能越加深厚!

I have a happyFAMILY. My parents love me so much, though my sister and I

sometimes have arguments, we love each other all the time. When I meet

difficulties, I will think of my parents first, I tell them about my confusion

and they will help me solve them. My sister will stand by my side when I have

fight with other students. This is my family and I love them.

My father is a doctor. He works in a hospital. He is tall and strong. He likes to help others .He doesn’t like watching TV, but he likes reading newspaper and read it every night.

My mother is a nurse. She works in my fathers hospital.She is very polite.She has good habits. She likes eating vegetables and drinking milk every day. But I don’t like milk. It is awful. She likes watching Beijing Opera at free time. She says it’s good for her to keep young and it can make her relaxed.i like myFAMILY.

Last term, I started to like comic, pop music. Lots of superstars are my

idols. Such as Conan, Jay, Syusuke and so on. But my mum dislikes them. She

wants me to study diligently. I have such kind of experience. One day, when I

was reading Harry potter with great interest. My mum shouted, "This is a

fantastic book, you should do your homework" How depressed I was at that time.

So, I always feel uncomfortable when staying with my mum. I think my mum is too

serious and too strict with me, and she seldom gives me freedom.

Today, lots of parents hope their children become talent, if we study

without any rest, they will be happy. My mum always talks to me,"Its time to

learn English, its time to read Chinese text book." Our high score will be a

great satisfaction to our parents. If we lose the high score in our single

examination, they will be angry. Besides this, they are angry at our choices in

comic, in music and even our way of speech. Mum, Dad, Do you know, they are not

bad things, and they are our happiness.

If we plan to do something of ourselves, we had better try our parents

understand us. If our parents see that we have high sense of responsibility,

they will certainly give us the right to do what we want to do.

Different people have different ambitions. When children study at school，

they already have their own ideals. Stone want to be engineers or doctors in the

future. Others want to be artists or businessmen. Still others want to be

teachers or lawyers. But few want to be farmers.

Unlike most people， I choose to be a farmer in the future and make

contributions to development of agriculture. Agriculture is essential to the

national economy and the peoples livelihood. Without it there wont be grains

on which people survive. Nevertheless， farmers are ignored， even looked down

upon by urban people. I determine to challenge the traditional idea and

contribute to changing this situation.

However， lt is not easy to he a modern farmer in the 21st century. A modern

farmer must be equipped with a variety of knowledge such as chemlstry， biology

and meteorology. Therefore， I must study conscientiously from now on so that I

can get the chance to study as a postgraduate in an agricultural university.

I believe only a man with scientific knowledge can meet the challenge of

the 21st century and assume the task of modernizing agriculture.

I always believe that knowledge is not just limited to books and the knowledge in life more worth learning, isnt it?

Life is colorful, is also complex, he has a lot of things worthy of our learning, that is less than they learned in books, dont know if you have found in real life, if a person, his knowledge from books, only he never grow up, because he does not know life, also dont understand the meaning of life.

Maybe you will be asked, how to learn from life? Theres something worth learning life? Patience is otherwise, if we can see life, we can learn to patience, if we can find in life, we can learn to love, if we can find in life to share, we can learn to share.

Remember to read a book, article already dont remember, the protagonist make the suffering of life, but we know in suffering the strong, more than most people know how to type you happy.

Human always think of themselves as the ruler of nature, but dont know, maybe life is even more important than our great, he knows what we dont understand, understand what we dont understand, he see through everything in the world, but never see through by everything in the world, and even sometimes, I would envy little snail, its very slow down to taste life, in life.

Actually there are many things for us to learn life, learn to learn from life, learn to study life, taste life, you will be found.

When you begin to learn from life, everything is a new start, open field of vision, and see the wisdom in life, you will feel that never feel wonderful.

我始终相信，知识不仅仅局限于书本，生活中的知识更值得学习，不是吗?

生活是多彩的，也是复杂的，他有很多东西值得我们学习，那是书本上所学不到的，不知道你有没有在现实生活中发现，如果一个人，他的知识仅来自于书本，他永远也成长不了，因为，他不懂得生活，也不明白生活的含义。

或许你会问道，怎样从生活中学习?生活有什么东西值得学习?孰不然，如果我们能够看到生活中的忍耐，我们就可以学会耐心，如果我们能够发现生活中的认可，我们便可以学会自爱，如果我们能够发现生活中的分享，我们便可以学会分享。

记得看过一本书，篇名已经不记得了，主人公历尽生活的疾苦，却在疾苦中懂得了坚强，比常人更懂得如何式始自己快乐。

人类一向认为自己是自然的统治者，却不知，生活也许比我们更为伟大，他懂得我们所不懂的，明白我们所不明白的，他看的透世间万物，却从不曾被世间万物所看透，甚至有时，我都会好羡慕小小的蜗牛，它懂得放慢脚步去品位生活，在生活中学习。

其实生活有许多东西供以我们学习，学会从生活中学习，学会去学习生活，品位生活，你就会发现了。

当你开始从生活中学习，一切则又是新的开始，打开视野，看看生活中的智慧，你就会感受到那不曾感受过的奇妙。

Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is the most important of the

traditional Chinese holidays. It is sometimes called the "Lunar New Year" by

English speakers. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the

first month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on

the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Years Eve is known

as chú xī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve".

Chinese New Year is the longest and most important festivity in the Lunar

Calendar. The origin of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains

significance because of several myths and traditions. Ancient Chinese New Year

is a reflection on how the people behaved and what they believed in the

most.

Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New

Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the

new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors, as well as cultures with whom

the Chinese have had extensive interaction. These include Koreans (Seollal),

Tibetans and Bhutanese (Losar), Mongolians (Tsagaan Sar), Vietnamese (Tt), and

formerly the Japanese before 1873 (Oshogatsu). Outside of Mainland China, Hong

Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, Chinese New Year is also celebrated in countries with

significant Han Chinese populations, such as Singapore, Indonesia, Laos,

Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. In countries such as Australia, Canada

and the United States, although Chinese New Year is not an official holiday,

many ethnic Chinese hold large celebrations and Australia Post, Canada Post, and

the US Postal Service issues New Years themed stamps.

Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of

the Chinese new year vary widely. People will pour out their money to buy

presents, decoration, material, food, and clothing. It is also the tradition

that every family thoroughly cleans the house to sweep away any ill-fortune in

hopes to make way for good incoming luck. Windows and doors will be decorated

with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “happiness”,

“wealth”, and “longevity”. On the Eve of Chinese New Year, supper is a feast

with families. Food will include such items as pigs, ducks, chicken and sweet

delicacies. The family will end the night with firecrackers. Early the next

morning, children will greet their parents by wishing them a healthy and happy

new year, and receive money in red paper envelopes. The Chinese New Year

tradition is a great way to reconcile forgetting all grudges, and sincerely wish

peace and happiness for everyone.

Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously

numbered years, outside China its years are often numbered from the reign of

Huangdi. But at least three different years numbered 1 are now used by various

scholars, making the year 2009 "Chinese Year" 4707, 4706, or 4646.

关于春节的风俗习惯还有很多很多，它既是传统节日，也是传统文化。

“爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏。”一阵阵鞭炮声响起，迎来了我盼望已久的春节。早上，吃完饭，爸爸妈妈要带我去拜访亲戚，我迫不及待地拿出新衣服要穿时，妈妈看见了衣服上的商标还在，于是拿来剪刀正要剪时，我连忙叫住：“妈妈，过年时不能用剪刀，免得惹来口舌之争。”妈妈恍然大悟，马上放下剪刀，用手扯下了商标。

晚上，妈妈请大伯、叔叔两家人来我家吃饭，晚餐可丰盛啦，鸡、鸭、鱼、肉等摆满了餐桌，饭后，垃圾桶的垃圾已堆成了小山，妈妈叫我帮助把垃圾倒了，我摇了摇头，妈妈有点生气地说：“长大了一岁，你倒是变懒了。”我连忙解释道：“妈妈，过年时，不能倒垃圾，以免把财运倒了。”叔叔、大伯们大笑起来，说我的年纪虽小，学问却很多。妈妈也禁不住笑道：“她呀，知道的比我还多。”我听后，心里比吃了蜜还甜。

过年的习俗还不止这些，还有：大年初一不扫地，怕把财运扫走;不倒水，以免把财运倒了。可真是有趣的风俗。

今天是除夕，盼望已久的春节终于来了。洗澡过后，我换上了新衣服，穿上了新鞋子，感觉神清气爽。晚饭时，一家人围坐在火炉旁，吃着丰盛的年夜饭，有冬菇焖鸭、小炒包菜、自制盐?h鸡、汤圆等等…一桌佳肴让人口水直流三千尺。我们一边吃一边看着中央电视台的春节晚会，一些相声段子把我们笑得人仰马翻，在不知不觉中2014年的钟声敲响了，噼里啪啦的鞭炮声响彻了神州大地，绚丽的、五光十色的烟花像鲜花一样在夜空中绽放，把茫茫的黑夜点缀得如同白昼一般。

大年初一早上，我早早起床，把自己弄得衣着整齐。早饭过后，我给爷爷奶奶拜年，爷爷奶奶把早准备好的红包给了我，希望我身体健康。我拿着红包好高兴，我要把压岁钱存起来，等到爷爷奶奶生日的时候再给爷爷奶奶买礼物。

接着我到外婆家去拜年了，我见到了六只新出生的小狗，它们有的长了一身乌黑的毛，有的长了一身棕色的毛，好可爱!我还用年夜饭剩下的骨头给它们吃。当我离开外婆家的时候，它们一直目送我们上车，我还真有点舍不得离开它们。

春节我过得好开心啊!

At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the area we now know as China had fallen

into a state of fragmentation and conflict. While the Zhou dynasty had ruled for

several centuries, several other states, originally feudal domains, tried to

carve out their own kingdoms. The state of Qin would eventually emerge the

victor and unify all of China under one rule for the first time in history.

Qu Yuan served as minister to the Zhou Emperor. A wise and articulate man,

he was loved by the common people. He did much to fight against the rampant

corruption that plagued the court-- thereby earning the envy and fear of other

officials. Therefore, when he urged the emperor to avoid conflict with the Qin

Kingdom, the officials pressured the Emperor to have him removed from service.

In exile, he traveled, taught and wrote for several years. Hearing that the Zhou

had been defeated by the Qin, he fell into despair and threw himself into the

Milou River. His last poem reads:

Many a heavy sigh I have in my despair,Grieving that I was born in such an

unlucky time.I yoked a team of jade dragons to a phoenix chariot,And waited for

the wind to come,to sour up on my journey

As he was so loved by the people, fishermen rushed out in long boats,

beating drums to scare the fish away, and throwing zong zi into the water to

feed braver fish so that they would not eat Qu Yuans body.

The Modern Dragon Boat Festival started from that time to this day, people

commemorated Qu Yuan through Dragon Boat Races, eating zong zi, and several

other activities, on the anniversary of his death: the fifth day of the fifth

lunar month.

Dragon Boat races are the most exciting part of the festival, drawing

crowds of spectators. Dragon Boats are generally brightly painted and decorated

canoes. Ranging anywhere from 40 to 100 feet in length, their heads are shaped

like open-mouthed dragons, while the sterns end with a scaly tail. Depending on

the length, up to 80 rowers can power the boat. A drummer and flag-catcher stand

at the front of the boat. Before a dragon boat enters competition, it must be

"brought to life" by painting the eyes in a sacred ceremony. Races can have any

number of boats competing, with the winner being the first team to grab a flag

at the end of the course. Annual races take place all over China, Hong Kong,

Macao, Taiwan, and other overseas Chinese communities.

在普通话中，“停当”只有一义：“齐备;完毕。”(见《现代汉语词典》)。此一义合肥亦用，如，“东西都准备停当了，要走马上可走。”

在合肥方言中，“停当”还有一义指能干、手巧、有办法。如“这丫头真停当，花绣得多好看!”“把事交给他你就放心吧，他停当得很，肯定会把左左右右都考虑到。”

《儒林外史》第二回：“他也要算停当的了，若想到黄老爹的地步，只怕还要做几年的梦。”第二十三回：“他做小司客的时候，极其停当，每年聚几两银子，先带小货，后来就弄窝子。”此两例中的“停当”显然即合肥方言所说的“停当”，证明全椒一带清代时“停当”即有此义。
