学校教育在人们的生活中扮演着很重要的角色。在小孩三岁的时候，他们就会去幼儿园进行学前教育。之后他们会去上小学，初中，高中，大学等。学校教育几乎贯穿人的一生。所以它是非常重要的。我们都知道，学校有很多知识渊博的老师来教学生知识。但这是不够的。学校教育需要家庭教育的协调。英国教育家巴卢曾经说过，“教育始于母亲膝下，孩童耳听一言一语，均影响其性格的形成”。因此，我们可以看到，学校教育的成功需要家庭教育的协助，使孩子们拥有一个完善的教育。光明的未来在等着他们。

【第1篇】我的家乡英语作文

My hometown is beautiful place It stands near a wide river at the foot of low green hills. It has many tall buildings and wide streets. There are trees and flowers everywhere.

But it has not always been like that. In the old days, it was a sad dirty little town. Landlords and merchants lived in the few good houses. For the working people there were only dark, unhealthy rooms in old buildings and huts in narrow muddy streets. Nearly everyone was poor and many had no work.

Everything has changed since liberation. The people, led by the Party, have got rid of the mud and dirt. They have put up schools, theaters, shops and flats. They have an assembly hall and a hospital. Along the river they have built offices, hotels and parks. A lot of factories have sprung up. On the river, streamers and boats come and go busily, day and night. They carry the products of our industries to all parts of the country.

I love my hometown, and I love its people. They also have changed. Healthy and happy, they are going all out to build socialism.

我的家乡

我的家乡是个美丽的地方.它座落在一座不高的绿色山脚下,一条宽阔的河流边.有许多高耸的大楼和宽阔的街道.树木和花草随处可见.

但是它并不是一直如此.在旧社会,它是一个凄凉、肮脏的小镇.地主和商人住在几栋漂亮的房子里.劳动人民只能住在破旧、黑暗、不卫生的房子里或是狭窄、泥泞街道旁的茅屋里.几乎所有人都贫困,许多人没有工作.

解放后一切都改变了.在共产党的领导下,人民告别了泥泞和肮脏.他们建起了学校、剧院、商店和公寓,还有大礼堂和医院.沿河建起了办公大楼、宾馆和公园.许多工厂迅速涌现.河上汽船、小船日夜穿梭,他们将我们的工业产品运往全国各地.

我热爱我的家乡,我热爱家乡的人民.他们身上也发生了变化.他们健康、幸福,正在鼓足干劲建设社会主义.

“家有家规，校有校规，动物有乌龟”。我家的家规有很多，最惨的是考试连续考九十分以下三次的话，就会有一段很长的时间不能打计算机了，我总是会苦苦哀求说：“不能打计算机，那我可以看电视吗!”但妈妈的回答，永远都是：“NO!”这时我也只得死心了。

第一次被这家规整惨的人。正是我不知天高地厚的妹妹，她整天嘻皮笑脸自由自在的玩，功课都荒废了。很快的她的考试分数急速下滑，眼看已经三次被罚了，妹妹愁眉苦脸天天不能打计算机、不能看电视，就看她欲哭无泪的抱怨著：“这日子多苦啊!”

还好妹妹知道改过向上，考试的分数慢慢上升，最近已经恢复标准了，所以她现在已经自由了，她的脸上充满笑容，又变回了一位阳光女孩。

家规不是乌龟，是规范我们的好法律，只要遵从就天下太平罗!

我们的身边有一位工作认真，对待学生细心、负责的好老师，她就是教我们英语的赵老师。

赵老师个子不高，讲起课来语速很快，不过我们也都适应了。她的课也许讲的不是最出色的，但她对我们无微不至的关心才是我喜欢她的原因。她说的每一句话都是有道理的，可能她说的时候你感觉不到，但事后你细细一想，也都不无道理。

她对学生日常生活也很关注。那是一年初夏，我和缪严寒、陈思豪都穿了长袖衣服到学校，在她的英语课上，讲课之余，她说到：“最近气温都升到了35度以上，可我们班有些同学还穿着长袖衣服，我希望你们明天把衣服换成短袖的。”

在我的印象中好像没有哪个老师会像赵老师那样关注我们，都做些什么，说些什么。在课堂上，她时时刻刻抓住我们的注意力，任何一个小动作，都逃不过她的眼睛。

这就是我的英语老师——赵老师。

Wait until we pay, the camera just for us, I think today I am on TV for once!

今天是2016年1月1日，也就是元旦。在这新年的第一天，妈妈说我已经长大一岁了，我应该更懂事一点，于是为我安排了一些任务要我完成，拿了100元钱给我，说今天由我安排采购，爸爸妈妈全程作陪，所以我早早地就起床了，准备去超市。

听说刚开了一家新超市，我和爹妈也去凑凑热闹，看看元旦是否有优惠的东西。到了超市，好象人不是很多，不知道是我们太早去还是新开张的原因。我首先了解了东西的摆放位置，以便等一会好采购，突然爸爸一边指着一边说：“看，在摄像。”我顺着爸爸指着的方向看过去，果然是有人在摄像，等我仔细一看才发现是龙岗电视台的记者在采访，觉得很新奇，以前我只能看新闻时才见过的主持人在这遇上了，那个记者看上去比在电视上看到的瘦多了，我们看见记者采访了好几个人，妈妈赶紧避开镜头，说怕被采访时紧张，而爸爸总在镜头下走来走去，也许被拍摄到了。这时我把早准备好的相机拿出来，也给记者们拍一张，可是我技术有限，拍得太小。等到我们买单时，摄像机刚好对着我们，我想今天我也上了一回电视哦!

今天我很开心，既遇到了以前没有遇见过的事，又买到了我喜欢吃的东西。

“12点57秒，12点58秒，12点59秒，1点到!”我看着手表激动地数着，因为我们要告别2015，走向2016。虽然，我们中国要再过1个月才是真正的春节，但我心里还是十分高兴。因为，我们将告别过去，走向新时代……

此时此刻，不止我一人高兴，祖国各地的人民，甚至国外的友人也很兴奋。他们放烟花，打鞭炮，开庆祝晚会等活动来表达他们此时此刻的心情。

现在已是2016年了，我祝大家身体健康，天天开心 猴年吉祥!

新年的钟声即将敲响，时光的车轮又留下了一道深深的印痕。伴随着冬日里温暖的阳光，满怀着喜悦的心情。在这个节日里，我校举行了元旦盛典。

在主持人激情澎湃的致辞中，迎来了第一个节目“天地喜洋洋”，低年级的同学带着灿烂的微笑，穿着最最喜庆，最最艳丽的红色盛装登场，台上顿时洋溢着节日的气氛。那一片红，仿佛是一团熊熊燃烧的火焰，正示意着我们的前途和未来正如同那火焰，勃勃生机，一片光明。

接下来是武术表演，那一阵阵铿锵有力的鼓声令在场所以观众热血沸腾。学校武术队的成员伴随着鼓点挥拳舞剑。那一套套令人眼花缭乱的拳法，那一阵阵粼粼剑影的剑术，那虎虎棍风的棍术，无不令人惊叹。南拳、太极、刀、枪、棍、剑都被武术队的成员演绎得精彩绝伦。最后以“叠罗汉”的形象结尾，博得了观众们的热烈掌声。接着是老师们献上的表演“盛世鸿姿”。羽扇、素衣、白绸、红缎在台上翻滚，羽扇像一只只破茧而出的白蝶，按耐不住内心的激动，在台上狂飞狂舞。虽“狂”却不失“雅”。身着素衣的老师们舞着白绸红缎，白绸像一朵朵怒放的百合，而红缎则像一片火红的玫瑰，舞台上简直成了一座花园。

第四个节目是幽默风趣的小品，小品之后就是乐器演奏了。扬琴、古筝、横萧和葫芦丝合奏了一曲“荷塘月色”。曲终的袅袅回音令人回肠荡气。接下来上台演奏的嘉宾令我们或多或少有些惊喜，那是曾经教我五年级音乐的老师，他为我们献上了一首歌那熟悉的声音仿佛带着我回到了五年级的时光，重温过去的美好回忆。紧接着的是老师们的演唱，一首首熟悉的歌曲，一段段熟悉的旋律，萦绕在耳畔。最后的是大合唱，合唱组的成员们脸上带着微笑，那微笑像加百列的雕像一般凝固在脸上。而合唱的歌曲恰好就是“歌声与微笑”在欢乐的歌声中，主持人上台用洪亮的声音宣布：“元旦庆典圆满结束！”

虽然庆典结束了，但庆典的内容却使我铭记于心。这是我小学生涯中最后一个元旦庆典，相信它会成为我记忆中小学里的最美的风景线。

我读完《全球气候》时，我才发现环境的严重污染。

I read the "climate", I found that the serious pollution of the environment.

里面说，现在由于二氧化碳的严重增多，导致全球变暖，从而影响海平面上升0。5厘米。听起来不算多，可是地球上还有更大的淡水区，那就是南极和格陵兰岛，如果南极的冰全部融化，海平面会上升60米，再加上格陵兰岛的冰，海平面还会上升6米。现在的美国海边，经常有台风出现，导致巨大的经济损失，气候变暖使高山动物开始迁移，许多动物因为不适应环境而灭绝。

Now America beach, often have typhoon occurs, resulting in huge economic losses, due to climate warming in Alpine animal migration began, many animal extinction because they do not adapt to the environment.

所以我们要积极响应“保护环境，人人有责”的号召。

So we should actively respond to "Protect environment is everyones responsibility," the call.

在元旦节前一天，我们在班里举行了庆元旦联欢会。

同学们花了两三天的时间来装饰教室，老师让他们发挥想象，装饰的要别具一格。天花板上悬挂着色彩艳丽的拉花，门上贴着用花纸叠的蝴蝶结，窗上贴着用彩带摆的小松树，大家忙前忙后，才创造出这样美丽的景象。元旦联欢会开始了，现有两个小主持人致开场词，然后报节目。让我印象最深刻的有三个节目。第一个是一位女生跳的舞蹈，这其中有很多高难度动作，劈叉，抬腿，翻跟头可他都顺利完美的完成了。第二个，是一位男生表演的科学小实验，赢的一片喝彩。第三个，是两位女生合唱的猪之歌，猪的习性，外貌描写的淋漓极致，让同学们开腹大笑，把老师都逗笑了。

同学都互相祝福 ，元旦快乐。

Mid-Autumn Day, all the country is celebrating. The streets are full of people; the loves are holding each other tightly. Everyone has his day.However, I am lonely. No one to hold, no one to kiss, no not to talk!I was walking around the street without purpose, seeing the lovers kissing, watching the fireworks alone, walking backed room whist.

Suddenly, I think I must be good to myself. So I decide to blue a present to myself. I know I will be good soon, and will find my Mr. Right. So tonight, a little teddy bear will sleep with me. And I know: I will have another teddy bear as a present that not bought from me!

A new year ,a new start, when I stand on the edge of the a new year, I cant help thinking about my plan of next year. Just as the old saying:“Well began is the half of the success.”So I decide that I should be at work while the others are still relaxing ,and then ,at the beginning ,Im quicker than the others and of course I will get better result than the others. But ,what I really decide to do is that I must make good of anytime I can spare though it seems impossible. While, I will do my best to live up with what I have planned, and the result will prove it.

蔚蓝的天空上飘着几丝鱼鳞般的云朵，灿烂的阳光将校园里的万物都增添了节日的气息。在这个阳光普照的日子里，上教院附小又迎来一年一度的元旦联欢会。

上午10点半，演出正式开始了，我们吵吵嚷嚷地来到了报告大厅。走进门，一股暖流就迎面扑来，将我们团团围住了。我们环顾四周，发现报告厅正前方的大屏幕垂了下来，上面放映着幻灯片。四周则挂满了五彩的彩带，灯光照在上面，从远处看就像彩虹一般亮闪闪的。荧屏上方挂着横幅，写着金色的大字。

刚坐下观众席，汇演就开始了。两位小主持人就手持话筒，端庄大方地站在你面前，他（她）们用生动的语言拉出一个又一个精彩的节目。不过，我觉得其中最有趣的便是六（2）班同学们给我们带来的小品《免费电话》。演员们用幽默的语言向我们展示了便宜没好货的这个道理。当听到“免费手机”的号码是741741741741（气死你气死你气死你气死你）时，观众席上笑倒了一大片。我也跟着大家一起笑得前仰后合，喘息时，我看到观众席上人头攒的，“倒”下了一大片。到最后，罗家豪扮演的试用者遇到了经销商，嘴中说的都是广告词时，全场又爆发出热烈的笑声，成了大家的第二个笑点。

还有就是合唱社团带给我们的表演《种太阳》，参加者大部分都是二三年级的同学，她们的动作整齐而充满意义，她们声音甜美而清脆，充满童真童趣，不禁使人想起了富士山的苹果来！

元旦联欢会在笑声中结束了，大家都回味着元旦联欢会上的种种乐趣，还在喃喃议论着节目的精彩……

In the 21 century, most homes have TVs, videos and DVDs. Most children get information and knowledge from the TVs, videos and DVDs. But I still like reading. I think it is very interesting. It makes me happy and clever. After lunch, I like reading books in the sunshine. Before sleeping, I like reading books and drinking a glass of milk. At the weekend, I always spend a lot of time staying at the library.

I can say that I have grown up with books. If you dont like reading, please try reading a book, you can learn a lot!

哲学家苏格拉底曾说：“世界上最快乐的事，莫过于为理想而奋斗”。每个人都有自己的理想，并一直朝着这个目标奋斗着，这的确是一件快乐的事。我也有我自己的理想--做一名英语翻译家。

你们一定想知道我为什么要做英语翻译家？因为我从小就喜欢英语。在我上幼儿园，第一次接触英语的时候，老师教我们读“apple苹果”，“banana香蕉”，老师怕我们不懂，还特意拿来香蕉，指着香蕉对我们说：“这是不是很像‘b’呢？上面瘦瘦的，下面胖胖的。一个个香蕉就成了banana，这样，香蕉的英语是不是很容易拼出来。”老师还教我们学了很多英语单词。从那以后，我就喜欢上了英语。

虽然这个理想对我来说是一件非常遥远的事情，但我愿意为这个理想而努力拼搏。每当我听到别人那一口流利的英语，我都非常羡慕，同时我的心灵也一样受到了鼓舞。我相信只要努力就一定可以做到。现在我会从身边的每一步开始做起，努力学好英语。我希望通过我的努力，可以实现我的梦想。

通向理想的道路是遥远的，艰辛的，但我坚信自己只要为理想奋斗，为理想拼搏，就一定能实现理想。

我有一个对我非常好的英语老师，她虽然是叫英语的，但是她教给我们人生道理，她如同我在学校的妈妈，呵护着我，保护着我，她教给我知识，教我做人。

有一次，我们班英语考了个倒数第一，英语老师气愤地说：“孩子们，我教你们做人，老师就是你们的妈妈，应该保护好妈妈，不能让妈妈受到别人的欺凌，更不能让妈妈没有面子，你们考了倒数第一，我明天照样能上班，就算你们都考零分，老师明天还是照样来上班，你们知道吗？你们有些男生应该为老师撑起一把大伞，为老师遮风挡雨，可你们呢！竟让老师丢面子……”

老实讲了很长的时间，好多人认识到了自己的错误，我们就努力，终于得到了前三名。

我最喜欢老师就是我的英语老师。

元旦”的“元”，指开始，是第一的意思，凡数之始称为“元”;“旦”，象形字，上面的“日”代表太阳，下面的“一”代表地平线。“旦”即太阳从地平线上冉冉升起，象征一日的开始。人们把“元”和“旦”两个字结合起来，就引申为新年开始的第一天。元旦又称“三元”，即岁之元、月之元、时之元。元旦一词最早始于三皇五帝，唐房玄龄等人写的《晋书》上载:“颛帝以孟春正月为元，其时正朔元旦之春。”即把正月称为元，初一为旦。南朝梁人兰子云的《介雅》诗也云:“四气新元旦，万寿初今朝。”

还有个传说，是在4000多年前远古的尧舜盛世之时，尧天子在位时勤政于民为百姓办了很多好事，很受广大百姓爱戴，但因其子无才不太成器，他没把“天子”的皇位传给自己的儿子，而是传给了品德才能兼备的舜。尧对舜说:“你今后一定要把帝位传交好，待我死后也可安心瞑目了。”后来舜把帝位传给了治洪水有功的禹，禹亦像舜那样亲民爱民为百姓做了很多好事，都十分受人爱戴。后来人们把尧死后，舜帝祭祀天地和先帝尧的那一天，当作一年的开始之日，把正月初一称为“元旦”，或“元正”，这就是古代的元旦。

Tammy was in a bad mood. Her parents had insisted that she was too young for a cell phone，no matter how much she begged. “But Sun and Alicia have cell phone!” Tammy cried. “If I don’t get one, I won’t be popular.”

“Having a cell phone doesn’t make you popular,” Tammy’s dad said. He is always saying stuff like this, As if he knew what it was to be in fourth grade. “Besides,” Dad said, “your school doesn’t allow cell phones, and you can call your friends from the house as soon you finish your homework.”

“But I can’t send them text messages,” Tammy relied.

“You can use email,” Mom said. “Cell phone are expensive. we want you to wait until you can pay for part of the cost before you got one.”

“By that time I won’t need one,”Tammy said. “Nobody will know who I am. I might as well moved to a desert island!”

“In that case, I’ll get you some empty bottles and some paper,” Dad said. “Bottle messages are much cooler than text messages.”

“Ugh,” sighed Tammy.
