小学生英语日记格式

全文共 1449 字

+ 加入清单

我们写日记的时候要注意格式,下面是关于小学英语日记格式,希望对您有帮助~

1. 日记写作格式

英语日记的格式与中文日记大体一样。英语日记通常由两部分组成,即书端和正文。

英语日记的第一行,要写明年、月、日与星期,然后要写明当天的气候状况,日期通常顶格写,后面是星期,天气状况写在右上角。如果是游记,还要写明地点。

Sunny, clear 晴 shower 阵雨

Cloudy 多云 heavy rain 大雨

Light rain 小雨 drizzle 毛毛雨

Overcast 阴 cold 冷天

2. 英语日记的写作文体

英语日记正文可以是叙事、描述、说明、议论等各种形式。其实,由于日记是非常随便的,因此上述文体常常结合在一起使用。英语日记内容取自生活,可长可短,有时无事可记,一两句也可以。写日记贵在坚持,不可断断续续地几天写一篇,那样起不到学习英语的效果。另外,英语日记也应该尽可能讲究一些文采,切忌写成流水账。初学者只要能写出完整并符合语法要求的句子就很难得,所以文采要求是次要的。而对于高中及其以上程度的英语学习者来说,就要求不单要语法正确,而且对句法、选词、谋篇布局等都有较高的要求。

3. 时态

写日记的时间一般是在下午或晚上,有时也有在第二天补记。所记叙的事情通常发生在过去,所以常用一般过去时。但如果要记叙天气、描写景色、展望未来、议论某事或对话引语等,可以使用一般现在时或一般将来时,以生动再现当时的情景。

4. 养成积累词语的习惯

日记是对生活中方方面面的事情的描述和感想的表达,所以写日记要用到单词面很广,这就要求英语学习者在平时要养成积累单词的好习惯,而把记忆的单词运用到日记中更是起到温故作用。值得注意的是,在写日记时,我们都会遇到很多不会写的单词。这时千万不要就此止步,而要先空出来,或者用拼音代替,等一篇日记写完了再查词典不上所缺的单词,并且重点记忆这些单词。这是通过这样的方式,我们才能更快地积累单词和提高英语水平。

5. 英语日记中的缩写与省略

英语写作中经常会有缩略语,比如:Nov. / November. Apr. / April

eg / For example 等各种形式的缩略语。

建议初学者不要用这些缩略语,因为初学者对单词的熟悉程度还不是很高,要不断的应用学过的单词才能记得牢,记得准。

最后需要一提的是,英语日记习惯一年一本,因此日期不必写年份,而只是在每年一本的日记本封面上或者在日记的第一页和最后一页加以注明即可。

6.范文:

May 30, xxxx Friday Sunny

In our class, every student has a big kettle (水壶). But sometimes there is no water in some kettles. My friend Mike and I often fill1 them with water.

狗能为人类做很多工作。它们可以和我们玩,它们可以跟我们一起打猎,它们可以给我们看家。但是以前世界上的狗都是野生的。

狗可以追溯到石器时代。所有的狗都是同一个祖先,人们相信狗的祖先很像狼。其他动物,如狐狸,也是来自这个祖先。几千年前人类就开始驯服野狗,狗被驯服后,人们就训练它们。强壮的狗成为人类工作的帮手,人们训练它们拉重的货物。它们学会了帮人们照看绵羊和其它的动物。

有些狗不够强壮,但它们能帮人们寻找猎物。还有些狗成了人们的宠物。

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.
