The Dragon Boat Festival that day, we all get up early, and then to play in the north bridge, from more than three o clock in the morning to go out to more than 5 p.m. to go home.

在家乡,人们通常把端午节称为“五月节”。每到端午节那天,家乡最热闹的就是北大桥了,从端午节头一天晚上开始到端午节当天晚上十点多都是人。端午节那天,我们大家都会早早的起床,然后就去北大桥玩,从早上三点多出门到下午五点多才回家。

端午节,给我的印象除了吃就是玩。吃粽子是一定的,端午节那几天,在大街上都是推着车买粽子的。插艾草,老人们都会去采或者是买一把艾草,用艾草穿上葫芦挂在门上,至于为什么,我也不知道。吃鸡蛋,也是端午节必不可少的一项。我们这儿看不到赛龙舟的,也是端午节的一大遗憾。端午节,我最喜欢买五彩绳系在手脖上,好几个月都不会拿下来。

不同地方端午节的习俗也就不一样。端午节是一个神圣的节日,也是一个伟大的节日。所有地方的端午节的目的都是为了纪念屈原。

每年最期待的节日除了春节就是端午节了。我喜欢端午节,更喜欢家乡的端午节。

篇1:小学生夏令营作文500字:英语村暑假夏令营

全文共 538 字

+ 加入清单

一向幼稚的我,一直以为外教是非常严肃,非常凶的那种,一副死气沉沉的样子,还会随手拿着木棒,哪个学生不乖,一棍子打下去,听不见任何声音。这使我心里颇不宁静。要是有的问题我答不出那该怎么办呢?

因为我的英语成绩不怎么样,所以妈妈要我去参加“英语村暑假夏令营”让我提高英语水平。可是自从我见到外教后,我感觉,外教不但不凶,不坏。而且脸上表情丰富。嘴里说出来的话自然是幽默风趣。让我不得不佩服他们。

外教的课分种:正经课,做活动。

正经课:

就是正常上课,一般,他们都会教我们课本里的东西,什么方位介词:on in under next to in front of ……有时候他们觉得上课改上的内容都上完了,但是还有时间,他们决不像中国教师那样让我们自己休息。而是教我们其他的单词。这样一来,即能不浪费我们的时间,而且还能丰富我们的英语,一举两得。

做活动:

英语暑假夏令营还特别安排了一个外教活动课,就是跳跳绳只类的活动。有一次的活动是跳长绳很过长绳。我们大家都不会,英语老师先来,因为她很肥,所以跑过去,扑,摔了一跤。但是,她一点不计较,而且很开心,让我们也来。很好玩的。

上了2个星期,我已经深深地感受到了外国教师的魅力,他们的幽默风趣诙谐,他们使我学会了标准的发音英语,也让我开朗了许多。

篇5:英语作文关于压力小学

全文共 1471 字

+ 加入清单

With the development of society, the competition of the entire society is

more and more intense, causing increasing pressure to people. Stress of study,

work and life are ubiquitous, but how can we deal with it? Here are some tips

that I hope can be useful.

Firstly, keep good health. A healthy body is the premise to face presure.

It’s the least capacity to cope with stress when a person is sick. Secondly, to

accept the pressure. The reason why many people can not cope with stress is that

they resist and escape it. Actually, there always is trouble and problems once

we chose a path to go, because almost everything worth doing is not so easy.

Thirdly, solve the problem, rather than complain about it. Many people complain

about the surroundings and don’t think about the solutions when faced with

problems. We all know that complaint can do nothing but only let you down. As

long as the problem not solved, the pressure is always there. Fourthly, tell

others your pressure and get help from them. Lots of pressure can’t be solved by

our own and the rational way is talking the pressure to workmates or friends to

get help from them. But the premise to do so is that we don’t intend to put

pressure to others but to seek help and support to solve problems.

Of course, there also are some other ways to cope with stress, such as

readjusting goal and expectation, playing games to relax, even shopping or

eating. But no matter how, solving the problem that causes stress is the best

way.

篇6:小学三年级期末考试英语作文MyFavoriteSeason

全文共 1966 字

There are four seasons in a year.My favorite season is summer .Because when the summer is coming .I can change the beautiful skirt and I can go swimming .I like the swimming pool very much.In summer ,all things are bright.I can go to a lot of places that I like.In summer holiday,I also can spend my holiday with my parents and we can go to the Forbidden City.How interesting !

The four seasons accompany us and make our lives interesting.Summer is when everyone has fun under the warm sun,autumn is the time of harvesting,and winter’s white snowflakes decorate the bare earth and trees.But it is spring’s vitality that fascinates me the most.

I remember when I was a small child,my favorite season was winter.But one thing made me change my mind.

I loved playing in the garden and climbing trees when I was small.But I realized one autumn day that golden leaves had started to fall from my favorite tree,and by winter its branches were already bare.I thought that it had died,and would never turn green again.

When my father knew why I was crying,he told me:“The tree hasn’t left you.It’s just resting.I promise in three months,that tree will be prettier than ever.” I believed what my father said and waited for three months.

Sure enough,when the time came,the tree was greener and taller than ever.Sprouts started to stretch their heads out of the melting snow,and creeks and streams started to run again freely.

From then on,spring has become my favorite time of the year because its vitality brings me happiness.

一年有四个季节。我最喜欢的季节是夏天。因为夏季即将来临。我可以改变这个漂亮的裙子,我可以去游泳。我非常喜欢游泳池。在夏天,一切都是光明的。我可以去很多地方,我喜欢。在暑假,我还可以花我的假期和我的父母和我们可以去故宫。多么有趣!

四季陪我们,使我们的生活有趣。夏天是当每个人都有有趣的温暖的阳光下,秋天是收获的时候,冬天的白色雪花装饰裸土和树木。但这是春天的活力,最让我着迷。

我记得当我还是个小孩,我最喜欢的季节是冬天。但有一件事使我改变了主意。

我喜欢在花园里玩,爬树的时候小。但我意识到秋天的一天,金色的树叶已经开始从我最喜欢的树,和冬天的树枝已经光秃秃的。我以为它已经死了,不会再变绿了。

当我父亲知道我为什么哭,他告诉我:“这棵树就没离开过你。只是休息。我保证在三个月内,那棵树将会比以前更漂亮了。“我相信我的父亲说,等待三个月。

果然,的时候,这棵树是绿色的,比以往任何时候都高。豆芽开始伸展头上的雪融化,自由和小溪,小溪又开始运行。

从那以后,每年的春天已经成为我最喜欢的时候,因为它的生命力给我带来了快乐。

The world we live in is becoming more and more intolerable because of environmental destruction. Bird flu and Sars are two typical examples that environmental destruction may threaten our life. Besides, forest destruction , water and air pollution result in decrease of planting land and unpleasant weather.

Serious as the problem seems, we can come up with some measures to deal with it. First of all, the authorities should adopt the policy of "sustainable development", and laws concerning environmental protection should be put into effect and enforced strictly just as our government has been doing.

What s more, every citizen should realize the seriousness of the problem and make concerted efforts to protect our environment. In addition, planting trees helps improve and beautify the environment.

The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually

in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han

Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance.

This days important activity is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han

Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. One emperor heard that

Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of Buddhas

body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar

month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to

show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a

grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the Central

Plains to the whole of China.

Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the

country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets,

attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made or bought lanterns

to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "Guessing lantern riddles"is

an essential part of the Festival.

Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the

lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out

and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will

get a little gift. The activity emerged during peoples enjoyment of lanterns in

the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of

wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.

People will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also

called the "Yuanxiao Festival."Yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. It is

small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean

paste, jujube paste, walnut meat, dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling.

Tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes sweet and delicious. What’s

more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning

reunion. So people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the

family.

In the daytime of the Festival, performances such as a dragon lantern

dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance, walking on stilts and

beating drums while dancing will be staged. On the night, except for magnificent

lanterns, fireworks form a beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks

from the Spring Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival. Some local

governments will even organize a fireworks party. On the night when the first

full moon enters the New Year, people become really intoxicated by the imposing

fireworks and bright moon in the sky.
