在我的身边有许多熟悉的动物。有昂首挺胸的白鹅,有聪明机智的猴子,但我最熟悉的是姥姥家那洁白如雪的小狗。

小狗是五姨家邻居的母狗生下来的,一出生就被带到了姥姥家,因为它浑身雪白,而且还长着许多毛,所以姥爷管它叫“毛毛”。

毛毛吃食不挑剔,但食量却很大。当时我买了一袋吃的,刚准备吃,只见毛毛两眼死死的盯着那带吃的,好像随时要抢下来似的,我见了说:“你这只小馋狗。”说完打开分给它一些。它很快就吃完了。

毛毛很喜欢与其他狗一起玩耍。姥姥家邻居也养了一条狗,它们经常在一起玩耍。有一天,邻居家的小狗跑进了姥姥家的院子,毛毛像一根离弦的箭立刻跑到了那条狗的面前,只见它们像多年没见的老朋友一样高兴。只见他们在院子里跑来跑去,好像在比谁跑得快。一直到邻居召唤那条小狗回家时,他们才依依不舍的分别。

这就是姥姥家那条活泼可爱的小狗。

With their living environment destroyed, the animals will become extinct sooner or later. Third, we should try our best to make everyone realize the importance of protecting animals.

我家那只小白兔是爸爸在大年初二的时候给我买的,由于它白白的,所以我给它取名叫“小白”。

小白很可爱,它毛茸茸的,浑身雪白,耳朵长长的,摸起来很舒服,里面是粉红色的,只要听到一点点细微的声音,就会立刻竖起来,当确定无危险后,便耷拉下耳朵,继续津津有味地吃起它的青菜。它的眼睛像两颗红宝石,但并非大红色,而是淡一些,像粉红色,它的鼻子呈粉红色的三角形,两旁边还各长了三根白胡须,三瓣嘴总是动个不停,四条有力的腿总是蹦来蹦去,可爱极了。

这家伙的脾气可不小,只要把它一关进小笼子,它就会乱蹦乱跳,只有把它放进大箱子里,才会安歇。又过了一会儿,它张了张嘴,或许是饿了吧!这时,戏弄它的时机来了。我拿了一根胡萝卜在它眼前晃一晃,等它上钩了,就上升到箱子的顶部。这时,它会努力地向上爬,并用后面两条腿像人一样站起来,用前面两条腿使劲地够着,终于够到了,它使劲抓住萝卜,拼命往下拖,费尽了九牛二虎之力,才把萝卜拖下来。接着,它就开始享受美味了,只见它用两只前爪把萝卜抱紧,生怕被别人抢走似的,然后以最快的速度把萝卜啃个精光。

以后,它只要看见我就迫不及待地迎上来,妈妈总是打趣道:“知道只有你给它吃的,所以最欢迎你了!”我们都笑起来。

关于元宵节英文介绍

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.每年农历的正月十五日,春节刚过,迎来的就是中国的传统节日--元宵节。元宵主要的活动就是看灯。东汉明帝时期,明帝提倡佛教,听说佛教有正月十五日僧人观佛舍利,点灯敬佛的做法,就命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙里点灯敬佛,令士族庶民都挂灯。以后这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐形成民间盛大的节日。该节经历了由宫廷到民间,由中原到全国的发展过程。

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.

直到今天,元宵点灯的习俗仍然在中国的各地流传的,各式各样美丽的花灯在这一天都会点亮,孩子们提着自制的灯笼走街串巷,非常高兴。猜灯谜也是元宵节的一项重要活动,花灯的主人会将谜面写在灯笼上,挂在门口,如果有人可以猜中,就能得到小小的礼物。这项活动最早起源于宋朝,因为谜语能启迪智慧又饶有兴趣,所以流传过程中深受社会各阶层的欢迎。

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.

民间过元宵节吃元宵的习俗。元宵由糯米制成,或实心,或带馅。馅有豆沙、白糖、山楂、各类果料等,食用时煮、煎、蒸、炸皆可。起初,人们把这种食物叫“浮圆子”,后来又叫“汤团”或“汤圆”,这些名称“团圆”字音相近,取团圆之意,象征全家人团团圆圆,和睦幸福,人们也以此怀念离别的亲人,寄托了对未来生活的美好愿望。

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

朋友,一提到似熊非熊、似猫非猫的动物,你一定会想到那稀少珍贵而又可爱的熊猫。它肥壮的身体,圆脸上那对八字形的黑眼圈,一身白里镶黑的茸毛,再加上稚气笨拙的动作,滑稽可爱的样子,赢得了全世界人民的喜爱。在动物园里,人们常常紧紧地围在栏杆的外面,望着熊猫的傻样,不时发出嬉笑声,流连忘返。

熊猫的日食量很大,特别喜欢吃竹叶、竹笋。它生活在我国西南地区的高山中。看,在动物园里,绿茵茵的草地上长着一片青葱的竹林,熊猫在竹林中一骨碌坐在地上,直挺着身子,敞着两条较短的后肢,前爪抓住鲜嫩的竹叶就往嘴里送。它那贪婪的样子逗得人们捧腹大笑。这时,熊猫好奇地望着发笑的人群,似乎在问:“你们笑什么呀?”接着又满不在乎地吃起来。吃饱后,熊猫晃着肥胖的身体,慢悠悠地来到水池边喝水。只见它两腿趴在池边,伏下身子,低着圆圆的脑袋,喝起水来,那副模样真可爱。

高兴的时候,熊猫还在平坦的草地下翻跟斗,活像一个大皮球在地上打滚,一个个滑稽的动作赢得一阵阵喝彩。只见它一会儿倒立,一会儿翻滚,就像曾经在马戏团受过特殊训练似的,表演得好极了!有趣的是,它每做完一个动作,都要朝观众看看,仿佛等待着大家重新夸奖它一番,那神气劲儿就甭提了。

有的时候,熊猫低着脑袋,在地上走来走去,既像一位作家在踱步沉思,又像一只急得似热锅上团团转的蚂蚁。

熊猫除了以它可爱的形象赢得世界人民的喜爱外,还以它的稀有珍奇驰名于世界。现存的熊猫是一种残存的古老动物的代表,早在距今100万年前,它就已经存在了。熊猫有“活化石”的美称,全世界约摸有一千多只。

在数不胜数的动物当中,我最喜欢的要数熊猫了。我的脑海里总忘不了它的样子,它的动作。肥壮的身体,圆脸上那对八字形的黑眼圈,一身白里镶黑的茸毛,稚气笨拙的动作,滑稽可爱的样子……

Good morning, dear professors.

It is my honor to have the opportunity for this interview.

First of all, let me introduce myself briefly. My name is melanie, with 22 years old. I was born in Huzhou, a city near to TaiHu lake, north of ZheJiang provice. Perhaps some traditional culture atmosphere, that gives me some steady personal characters and a meticulous work attitude.

To be a doctor is my dream when I was a child. So I selected the major of clinical medicine four years ago, without any hesitations. I know its very hard to be an excellent doctor with clinical medicine, however I never regret my selection.I like these words written by a doctor in her blog"Im not an angle, but I hope I need a heart like angle; I cant save all dying people, but Im willing to give wings to the patients ,helping them recovering". To realize my dream, in the past four years, I am studying and practising hard, helping me lay a solid theoretical foundation, and improving my clinical competence. Beside, I have the propose improving my overall quality, looking at things in a stride way and getting up the responsibilities on my shoulder. In the past four years, I pass the CET 4 and 6, and win the siyuan scholarship and "outstanding student " every academic year.

Finally, I want to say Im an aggressive man .I always believe that one will easily lay behind unless he keeps on learning in this competitive modern world. Of course, if I am given a chance for advanced studies in this famous University, I believe I would never fail your expectation. Ill try my best to study and learn from both theories and practices so as to cultivate myself to be experienced and skilled. And I am a person easy to get alone. I think not only do I have the ability to accomplish a task alone, but also can I get well alone with others.

篇20:英文作文:元旦节介绍

全文共 2764 字

Yuandan is the first day of the lunar calendar. It is the day when the earth has circled the sun for one round and is beginning another circling. It represents a new beginning when people send off the old days and welcome the new ones. As the first day of the year, Yuandan has been considered to be the most important festival since the ancient times.

Customs

1. Kaisui(beginning of the year): According to the Chinese traditional custom, starting from haishi(9p.m. to 11p.m.)of the last evening of the twelfth lunar month, each family must prepare offering s to deities at the altar. At the same time, they too prepare food for the New Year day: The whole family will then stay awake together to attend to the year(called shou sui). After haishi, zishi(11p.m. to 1a.m.)will come, and this is the arrival of New Year(Yuandan). At this moment, people begin the celebration with fireworks. Vegetarian and sweet foods will then be placed are the altar for offerings, and incense be burned to welcome the deities. In the ancient times, it was believed that haishi connected the two years and thus was called kaisui.

At the same night, some families will follow the instruction in Tongshu and place preparing altar in the direction of the "fortune deity" during the "fortune time" to receive the deity. If the direction of the "fortune deity" is at the "ill position", people will choose to receive "happy deity" or "noble deity" instead.

2. There is an apparent difference in the custom of food taking on Yuandan between the Chinese in the northern and southern regions. The northern Chinese has the habit of taking jiao zi(dumpling made of flour with vegetable and meat wrapped inside). Some people may put a sweet or a coin inside jiao zi, hoping to have a sweet year after tasting the sweet and a wealthy year after tasting the coin. on the other hand, the southern Chinese have the taboo for killing on Yuandan. Therefore, they do not take meat in tee morning of Yuandan, so as to avoid bloodshed or mutual slaughter. In order to evade misfortune, they have the first meal of this day without meat. Instead, they take vegetarian food for the sake of virtue.

3. What is special during the New Year is that parents or elders will distribute red packets(ang pao or ya sui qian)to the children. People in the ancient times were more particular in giving away the red packets: the distribution took place on the eve of New Year so that the kids could suppress the past year and enter the New Year. Ya sui has the meaning of overcoming the unpredictable future. Representing the wishes for the healthy psychological growth of the children, ya sui qian symbolises the elders hope to see their children overcome all the unpredictable elements brought by the "year".
