小学英语四年级下册作文(推荐20篇)

弹指一挥间，我们面临分离，各奔东西。不知不觉，我们毕业也有好几个星期叻。这几个星期没有你们陪着，我还真不习惯。 Finger waves, we are facing separation and we are running.Unconsciously, we also graduated for several weeks.I have not been with you these weeks, I am really not used to it.

毕业也许是快乐的，可是离别却是令人伤心的。

毕竟六年小学时光，不是那么容易过的。我们身边还会有不同的朋友、同学，可是毕业后我们也许就各走各的路，也许以后都很难见面，这令很多人都留下了无奈的眼泪。可是那只是离别，并不是永别嘛。我相信有缘，我们一定会再相聚

毕业了，还真有点想念以前的日子。毕业时，看着空荡荡的柜桶，总觉得还留下了什么，原来我留下了我对你们的思念。刚上学的时候、被人欺负的时候、不开心的时候，巴不得早点离开学校，可真当要走的时候又急切的希望能多留一两天。

我们曾经在一起哭过、笑过、打闹过。虽然这只是回忆，只是我们记忆中那一小部分的记忆，可是却记录了我们小学六年的时光。好像昨天我们还抱在一起哭、一起笑。

今天的我们已长大了许多，懂得了许多，知道时间是不可能倒回的。

6年了，不可磨灭的记忆，一切一切，我们都不会忘记。每个人的一举一动，都深深映入脑海里，隐藏在记忆里。也许，我们离开母校和大家分开时会哭，可是天下哪有不散的酒席?到最后总会分开。但是阳光总在风雨后，我们经过这些风风雨雨，就会成长。虽然结束了这一段，但是还会有新的开始。想流泪的流的痛快，毕竟泪水冲刷不了我们的记忆。我们要坚强，不要难过，因为上帝把你的门关掉了，可他还会替你打开一扇窗。因为，明天也是一个开始~~

看着我们的毕业照，每个人都笑得那么灿烂，每个人眼里的光芒都那么耀眼。我希望我们可以一直这么开心的笑下去，一直一直。

六年的小学生活画上完美的句号时，面对离别，有太多的不舍。不舍朝夕相处的同学，不舍循循善诱的老师，不舍校园里熟悉的一草一木。六年的小学生活就像一本书，会永远封存在记忆里。

六年，在漫漫的几十年人生里也算一个不小数目了。

六岁起，十二岁止，整个小学阶段，正值生命中最美好的豆蔻年华。

千言万语也不多说，只汇成一句话：亲爱的你们，珍重。

9月10日是教师节，今年的教师节又来到了。 September 10 is Teachers Day, this years Teachers Day came again.

这一天，同学们带自己做的礼物，来到老师办公室送给老师。小明拿着贺卡，小丽拿着图画送给了老师，一起说：“祝老师节日快乐!”小红把一束鲜花献给了老师，对老师说：“祝老师永远像花儿一样青春美丽。”小刚拿出了一张100分的考卷，一本正经地说：“老师，我以后一定会更认真学习，考出好成绩来祝您节日快乐!”小强拿出了一朵大红花挂在老师胸前，感激地说：“老师，谢谢您教我们这么多知识，这么多道理。”

过了不久，教室里非常安静，同学们坐得很端正。当老师一近来，全班同学齐刷刷地站起来，向老师深深鞠个躬，异口同声地向老师说：“祝老师节日快乐!”老师脸上露出了快乐的笑容。

9月10日是教师节，你们不知道教师节的那天场面可壮观了……教师节的早上我比其他同学晚一点到学校，一走进教室只见同学们已在黑板上写着“教师节快乐”几个大字，旁边还有许多五颜六色的气球。任老师今天穿着蓝色的上衣、灰白色的裤子，手上带着手链，那手链非常漂亮，再配上她卷卷的头发，今天就像一位美丽的皇后。

我发现老师的桌子上有许多花和贺卡，就想今天我什么也不送，只在心里送声祝福：任老师，节日快乐!还有今天我一定要表现的更好一点，我发现，今天不光是我表现好，全班同学都表现的非常好，所有的老师和两位校长也都非常高兴，我也非常兴奋，我想全校同学今天也都非常兴奋吧!

今后，我一定要勤奋学习，要以更好的学习成绩回报辛苦的老师，为班集体争光!

【摘要】时间飞逝，2014年的寒假如约而至。新的一年，新的希冀。对于广大小学生朋友来说怎样才能度过一个既快乐又充实的寒假呢?为此小学频道为大家搜集整理了四年级寒假英语日记400字，让大家在享受假期的同时，轻松愉快的安排好自己的学习生活!

Our country has an ancient patriotic poet named Qu Yuan, he was e_iled by

the calumny, the inability to save the peril of the country, e_cessive anger, so

Jiang himself voted to Health martyred. It is for him not to eat the bodies of

fish and shrimp, one after another to the various pancake into the river, the

water used to feed animals, and some ship off the water at the water beast. This

has become now the Dragon Boat Festival, eating dumplings, fried cake, the

origin of the dragon-boat race.

Having said that, I think of my family have been the scene of the Dragon

Boat Festival. Grandmother pinch a different type of pancake, has florets,

small, small starfish, is really different form. hurry to go shopping Kok,

calmly took my father to buy tzu. A long row of teams, like a long queue, we

managed to buy a tzu. We can see that every household have attached great

我国古代有一位爱国诗人叫屈原，他遭谗言被放逐后，无力拯救危亡的国家，悲愤过度，于是投江自尽，以生殉国。人们为了不使鱼虾吃掉他的尸体，纷纷将捏成的各种各样的饼子投入江中，用来喂饱水中的动物，有的划着船在水上敲锣打鼓驱赶水兽。这便成为现在端午节，吃粽子、炸糕点、赛龙舟的由来。

说到这里，我又想起了我家过端午节的情景。奶奶捏了种类不同的饼子，有小花，小人，小海星，真是形态各异。妈妈急着去买菜角，爸爸不慌不忙地拉着我去买粽子。排着长长的队，好似一条长龙，我们好不容易才买到了粽子。可以看出，家家户户都很重视这个节日，人们用这种方式来表达对屈原的思念和崇敬。

今天是国庆节，街道上张灯结彩，热闹非凡，人山人海。在国庆假期里，我去了广州“星期八小镇”玩，获益良多。

到了出发当天，我早早地来到了财政局门口，很多同学都已经在等候了。于是，我们上了车，就出发了。在车上，我们都很兴奋，唧唧喳喳地议论着“星期八小镇”是什么样子的。

经过大约一个小时的车程，终于到达了“星期八小镇”。我怀着好奇的心情下了车，跟着大人们一起向“星期八小镇”走去。

走到门口，我向里面望去，只见里面有很多可爱的图案，还有几辆车正在行驶呢。我们走了进去，一进门就看见有一间“中国银行”，是让小朋友取钱的。我取了50元，就和李婧君、易芷筠一起到别的地方玩了。

这里的“店铺”可多了，有“警察局”啦，有“一院”啦，有“消防局”啦，还有“蛋糕店”啦等等。首先，我们来到了“医院”学当医生。穿上医生的衣服，医生就给我们讲解怎样给病人治病，要注意些什么，生动而详细。

接下来，就要工作了。一个小朋友溺水了，我们抬着担架赶忙去救人。一看，啊?她呼吸不了!医生又教我们怎样做人工呼吸，我们按照医生教的方法麻利地把她平放在地上，给她按压心脏、人工呼吸。过了一会儿，她终于醒来了，大家都松了一口气，我心头的一块大石才落地。我们马上把她抬到担架上，将她送回医院进一步救治。

这时，一位摄影师向我们走来，他给我们每人照了相，留作纪念。

临走时，医生说有工资发哦，她给每人发了5元钱。我们都很高兴。

“星期八小镇”给我带来了许多快乐，通过这些实践活动，我学会了很多书本上没有的知识。我还想再来一次，再次体验一下工作的快乐和收获。

Dear Mary,

Thanks for your last letter. Im so glad that you have been able (at last! ) to arrange a holiday in Australia. As I fear I wont be able to meet you at the airport when you arrive, nor will I be able to be home until later in the afternoon, so here are some instructions and suggestions.

There is a bus from the airport to the city. It is much cheaper than a cab. Take the bus to the city and ask to get off at Town Hall railway station.

To get to my place in the eastern suburbs you have three options. You can either take a cab, a bus or the train. I suggest you take the train, since the airport bus will leave you right at the station. Get off at Cliff Station. From there you can either walk to my place (about ten minutes) or take a taxi. Probably you should take a taxi as you will have luggage.

When you arrive at my flat, ring the intercom for Flat 2. My friend Lillian will be at home and she will open the front door for you and let you into my flat.

Presumably you will be tired and want to sleep. But if you feel like some exercise after that long flight, you could stroll down to Cooper Park, which is only ten minutes away ? you can see it from the window.

Cheers and looking forward to seeing you.

Yours sincerely,

Annie

冬过春来，春姑娘带着生命和希望，步履轻盈地来到了大地。

一天早晨，我来到公园的后门，在灿烂的阳光照耀着大地。后门里秃了一季的草地上小草长出了嫩芽，渐渐地，为大地披上了一件绿衣，小朋友们在上面打滚、踢足球、追打着等等。花坛上面种着各色鲜艳的花，有嫩黄的迎春花，红色的玫瑰，，红得私火的鸡冠花，白得似雪的茉莉花，五颜六色的太阳花等。每朵花都像一位位亭亭玉立的少女正在展示自己的美丽。花坛的后边还有棵桃树，芒果树和木棉树。桃树也抽出的新芽上还点缀着许多桃花。芒果树也不例外。木棉花被春姑娘涂上了口红，花瓣落下时，有许多小朋友捡起来玩。这些花儿引来了辛勤的蜜蜂和美丽的蝴蝶，蜜蜂忙着采蜜，蝴蝶在花丛中翩翩起舞，好象在开舞会，美极了!一阵微风吹来，我感到了春风的温暖和淡淡的香味，小草和花儿仿佛也去参加了蝴蝶们的舞会。

忽然，下起了蒙蒙细雨。看!细细的，像花针，像细丝，像牛毛，密密地向大地飘洒着。我不禁深深地吸了一口气，顿时感到全身清爽。隔着细雨，我仿佛看到农民伯伯在地里劳做，披着蓑衣，戴着斗笠正在田地里忙个不停。

雨停了，公园中间还有一湖清粼粼的湖水，鱼儿们在水里嬉戏，青蛙在岸上叫个不停，蝌蚪在水里追逐。

还有几只燕子偶尔从我头晌掠过，唧唧地叫着。

这花、草、树、燕子构成了一幅美丽的“春景图”。真是春满人间啊!

今天中午，自习期间。我们的语文老师向我们解释了词汇表中的练习。

讲解之前，我们语文老师让同桌互相检查我们的词汇手册是不是写完了。因为平时老师只布置预习作业的时候，让我们自己做，根本不用检查。我们将互相检查，直到讲座结束。我的同桌在之前的检查中告诉我，他把词汇表忘在家里了。然后我想如果我忘了，我就忘了。我去和老人谈谈。就这样，结束了。然而，当我们今天要再检查的时候，他说他又忘了在家。大概太多次了吧!老师不相信他。

于是，老师说：“你真的忘了吗?”他还很自信地说：“嗯，我真的忘了在家。”老师说：“为什么每次检查都忘了?”他说：“那我不知道怎么回事?”于是老师让我检查他的书包。我还没来得及找，他的词汇表就出现了。现在，他的谎言被揭穿了。我一查，他好几节课都没上完。难怪我忘了在家。

嘿!这个同桌，以前每次都没写完的时候，骗我，忘了在家。我怪你这么信任你。原来，你一直在骗我!

My summer holiday is coming soon， I start to make some plans about my vacation. I go to travel every year， this time， I want to travel to Tibet， it is the place I always want to go to. I have heard about Tibet many times， my mother’s friends tell me so many wonderful things in it， so I want to go to Tibet. This summer I will go to Tibet.

我的暑假很快就要到来了，我开始为我的暑假指定了一些计划。我每年都去旅行，这一次，我想要去西藏旅游，那也是我一直想要去的地方。我经常听到有关西藏的事情，我妈妈的朋友告诉我很多关于那里的美好事情，所以我想要去西藏。这个夏天我将要去西藏。

Remember last years summer vacation, my father and I went for a walk EHu edge, a way, Im kind of shouted thirsty, so my father on the side of the road store bought me a Popsicle. I ate and go, soon finished eating, carelessly threw the ice sticks into EHu. Dad saw, reminded me immediately; "Coco, cant litter oh! If everyone like you to throw garbage in the lake, the beautiful EHu lake becomes waste." Im ashamed of say: "know, next time I must not litter." Dad smiled and stroked my head and said: "the earth is our home, we should protect it, cherish it, let the sky bluer, the water cleaner, the grass is greener." I naughty to say: "oh, that is, everybody has said, the city is my home, clean environment depends on everybody. I understand." From then on, I no longer throw garbage.

I want to take care of the environment is closely related to everyone, so lets start from everyone!

今天，我们读了很多关于保护环境的小短文。我想起曾经在我身边发生的事情。

记得是去年的暑假，我和爸爸一起去鹅湖边散步，走了一段路，我就一个劲的喊口渴，于是，爸爸就在路边的小店给我买了根冰棍。我边吃边走，一会儿就吃完了，随手把冰棍棒往鹅湖里一扔。爸爸看见了，马上提醒我说;“可可，不能乱扔垃圾噢!如果每个人都像你一样往湖里扔垃圾，这美丽的鹅湖不就变成了垃圾湖了。”我羞愧的说：“知道了，我下次一定不乱扔垃圾。”爸爸微笑着抚摸我的头说：“地球也是我们的家，我们应该保护它，爱护它，让天更蓝，水更清，草更绿。”我调皮的说：“噢，那就是大家一直说的，城市是我家，环境清洁靠大家。我明白了。”让从那以后，我再也不乱扔垃圾了。

我想爱护环境与每个人息息相关，所以要从每个人做起!

它虽无春天的鸟语花香，也无秋天的硕果累累，更无冬天的白雪皑皑，可我觉得它很不寻常，它在春华秋实之间，是一个承上启下，生命交替的季节——夏天。

夏天，树木茂盛。夏天的午后，老人们最喜爱坐在茂密的树下乘凉，摇着蒲扇，品着凉茶，聆听着知了鸣叫，那棵大树像一把大伞为他们挡住了夏天的炎热，给予了习习凉风。

夏天，荷花盛开。刚步入盛夏，池塘上早已开满荷花。从远处观赏，就是一片绿色的海洋，还有几朵粉嫩的荷花作点缀，荷叶上还有几滴晶莹的水滴，阳光一照，发出刺眼的光泽，比珍珠还剔透;近观，荷花才是主角，每一朵花都是出淤泥而不染，濯清涟而不妖，花瓣的配色都好像是经过精心调配，渐变有序，从轻到浓，底部，是淡淡的粉红;顶部，就变成了那诱人的桃红。无数花瓣堆叠在一起，空气中氤氲着淡淡的雅香，带走人们夏日的燥热，留下无限遐想。

夏天，倾盆大雨。夏天的雨，来去匆匆。天空阴云密布，压的人们喘不过气来，这样的沉闷持续了很久。突然一道闪电划过半空，打破了这种沉闷，雨点如向下倒般那样大，电闪雷鸣，狂风呼啸，人们稍有犹豫就会淋成落汤鸡。夏天的雨就是来也匆匆，去也匆匆，刚刚还下着倾盆大雨，现在说停就停，大雨把世界洗刷一新，抬头望去，天边还挂着一道美丽的彩虹。

夏天，梦幻夜晚。一轮明月挂在天边，漆黑漆黑的夜晚，也有许多萤火虫在翩翩飞舞，伴随着寂静的夜的还有蝉鸣声，我们都在夏夜中睡着了，等待着新的一天到来。

这就是我眼中的夏天。

My birthday is on XXX. I always have both happy and sad feelings on my birthday.

Why I am happy? I have group of friends that come over to celebrate with me. And they give me birthday presents， sometimes the gifts surprised me very much. Also， I can feel how much my family loves me because my parents always make a birthday cake for me.

They do not go to buy one， but make one themselves. I feel so happy about that. However， I understand my mother was the one who suffered the most pain on the date I came to the world. I feel so sorry for my mother for what she had suffered. But I promise her， I will take good care of her when I have that ability.

【参考译文】

我的生日是在XXX。我一直都在我的生日快乐和悲伤的情感。

我为什么开心?我的朋友过来和我一起庆祝他们给我的生日礼物有时让我十分惊讶的礼物。同时我能感觉到我的家人有多爱我因为我的父母总是为我做一个生日蛋糕。

他们不去买一个但让人自己。我感到很高兴。然而我知道我的母亲是最痛苦的人遭受了我来到世界上。我为我的母亲感到抱歉她遭受了什么。但是我答应她我会好好照顾她当我有这样的能力。

5月30日上午，以“快乐一小、快乐六一”为主题的文艺汇演在我们学校操场上如期举行。

演出前，同学们纷纷拿起各式各样的小凳子，自觉排成了一个长龙式的队伍，兴高采烈地走向操场。只见操场上人山人海，这壮观的场面让我联想到了蚂蚁搬家的情景。落座后，我惊喜地看到舞台的布置非常漂亮，让人耳目一新。舞台上铺着一块令人赏心悦目的蓝色地毯;舞台后面有一块巨大的牌匾，“快乐一小”四个大字格外醒目;舞台的前面摆满了五颜六色、娇姿欲滴的花朵;舞台两侧摆着整装待发的泡泡机。

文艺汇演内容丰富、形式多样，悠扬欢快的节拍中演员们表演了各班选送的歌曲、舞蹈、器乐、情景剧等节目，他们用最美妙的声音唱出了动听的歌谣，用最欢快的舞步表达了庆祝佳节的喜悦心情，用最生动的语言诠释了对幸福生活的无限热爱。各个节目异彩纷呈，学校成了一片欢乐的海洋。

让我念念不忘的是我们班的节目——歌伴舞《调色板》。演员着装别具一格，红白相间的彩服和黑色的戏装相映成辉，成了一道亮丽的风景。最闪亮的主演穿着更是与众不同，散发着迷人的魅力。柴晨晰穿的是带有金黄色五角星的黑色衣服，而女主演穿的是带有金黄色五角星的红色衣服。他们时而排成两个方阵，时而变成一个个小洞洞……这幅千姿百态、变化多端的“调色板”，让台下的同学如痴如醉。

最让我感动至深的是最后一个节目——情景剧。讲述的是一位可亲可敬的老师发现有个学生的书包落在了教室里，还破了一个不大不小的洞。老师虽然找来针线仔仔细细地把洞补好了，但自己一不留心让针扎出了鲜血。那个粗心大意丢了书包的学生走进教室，恰好看见了眼前的这一幕，感动得流下了泪水……台下的我也情不自禁热泪盈眶。

演出很快就完美落幕了，我们依依不舍地告别舞台，我们更期待着下一个更快乐的“六一汇演”早点到来……

Nowadays, Hollywood movies dominate the market and many young people take

these superheroes characters as their idols. So some people start to feel

disappointed about the local culture, because they havent seen its essence. As

the world gets globalization, it is in need of building peoples sense of local

cultural heritage.

The preservation of our cultural heritage is the necessary task. The

culture contains the essence of Chinese peoples spirit, which has been tested

by time. When people admit our culture, we will be proud of being part of the

country, so as to enhance the unity and have the desire to make a contribution

to the society. The loss of cultural heritage will destroy a country, which can

be seen in history.

As the young generation faces the cultural shock in the globalization, so

they are easy to deny the local culture, because they know little about it. Thus

school should implant the education of culture and the government has named a

day called Chinese Cultural Heritage Day, in the purpose of advocating the

essence of local culture. When children grow up, they will fight for protecting

the culture.

The Dragon Boat Festival, must not not include dumplings! Today, my sister is teaching me the dumplings! You see.

Make zongzi must be prepared. My sister was ready to soak for three hours of glutinous rice and bought the leaves, which surprised me.

I put my rice in the leaves, and I was all over the table, and I was angry. My sister said to me, "you want to make a triangular shape of the leaf and put the rice in it!"

So I did what my sister said, and pressed it on the rice. Whats in the middle of that dish? It was minced meat! I dug a small hole in the middle of the glutinous rice and made it into a round shape, stuffing it into glutinous rice and adding it to the glutinous rice. How can you seal it? I looked at my sister and knew everything.

I pressed down one of the warped leaves and pressed the rope hard. Success! I covered a lot of them in the previous method. Now its time to get the pot down, boil the water first, and then put the dumplings on.

After a while, the dumplings were cooked. The four of you sat at the table and ate the dumplings.

I untied the rope and was trying to remove the leaves, but when I touched it, it was hot. Her sister looked and laughed. I blew and blew the heat away. I again carefully will leaves open, eat up to her delicious dumplings - among all be stuffed glutinous rice, wrapped in a delicious meat, fresh juice in your mouth, no oil is not greasy, and chewy, feels so good!

So the Dragon Boat Festival in the past, his mouth to eat with his hand package dumplings, thought the tang dynasty poet du fu wrote poems: palace clothing is famous, dragon boat be reward. The wind is soft and the snow is light. When the weather is wet, lets go to the heat. The meaning is the length of the word, the whole life.

What a happy Dragon Boat Festival!

过端午节，一定少不了粽子!今天，姐姐就在教我包粽子呢!你瞧。

做粽子一定要有准备的。原来，姐姐已准备好浸泡了3个小时的糯米，同时也买好了粽叶，这样准备就让我大吃一惊了。

我把米放在叶子里，可米全撒在了桌上，我生气极了。姐姐对我说：“你要把叶子做成一个三角形的样子，然后再把米放进去啊!”

于是，我按照姐姐说的步骤作了一遍，在米上按了按，咦?旁边那个盘子中间放的是什么?原来是肉馅哦!我在糯米中间挖了一个小洞洞，把肉馅弄成圆状，塞入糯米中，让它也加入糯米的行列中。可怎么封好呢?我看了眼姐姐，就明白了一切。

我把翘起来的一片叶子按下来，并用绳子用力的扎紧。成功啦!我按照前面的方法，包了好多个。现在就要下锅了，先是把水烧开，然后把粽子放下去。

过了一会儿，粽子煮好了。大家四人坐在桌子旁，吃起了粽子。

我把绳子解开，正想把叶子摘掉，可我一碰，就被烫着了。姐姐看了，哈哈的笑了起来。我吹着吹着，把让热气吹走了。我再次小心翼翼的将叶子掀开，吃起了自己亲手做的香喷喷的粽子来——白白胖胖的糯米中间，包着一团鲜汁可口的肉馅，放入口中，不油不腻，又有嚼劲，感觉太好了!

端午节就这么过去了，嘴里吃着自己亲手包的粽子，心里想着我国唐代诗人杜甫写的诗：宫衣亦有名，端午被恩荣。细葛含风软，香罗叠雪轻。自天题处湿，当暑着来清。意内称长短，终身荷圣情。

这真是一个快乐的端午节!

Dear Tom,

Im just writing to let you know that were all well, and I hope you are, too. Unfortunately, Ive got some rather bad news for you: Im afraid I made a bit of a mess of Johns car. Anyway, heres what happened.

We were on our way to Carols after a long party, and I suppose it must have been about eleven o’clock. Well, the last few miles back home were really dark and deserted. I now realize I was probably going a bit too fast for a country lane because, although the road was fairly straight, I drove up onto the curb and went into a tree.

Of course, John was absolutely furious and started shouting at me and cursing. After we d argued for a few moments, we decided to look at the damage, and he calmed down a bit. Well, we found we could move the car, but the wing was caught on the wheel, so we couldnt drive it. I tried to pull the wing clear, but I didnt succeed.

Anyway, John went off to phone for a breakdown lorry, but while he was away, I had another go at the wing and this time succeeded in pulling it right off. I threw it onto the back seat, and by that time John got back and we were ready to go?so we didnt need the breakdown lorry at all. John has more or less forgiven me now, but he was very angry with me for a few days. I suppose I was a bit careless.

Well, thats all for now. Next time I write I hope Ill have better news for you.

Yours sincerely,

Linda Chen

盼呀，盼呀，我们终于盼来了一年一度的儿童节。

儿童节这天，校园里彩旗飘扬，同学们兴高采烈地来到学校。老师说下午要开展“小小超市”活动。这令我兴奋不已，心想：平时见到的超市都是大人开的，我们小孩怎么开超市?老师接着说：“同学们，下午你们可以带钱来购买商品，也可以把自己玩腻了的玩具拿来出售。”

转眼到了下午，我带着钱和玩具来到学校。看见校园里摆满桌子和凳子，看来马上就要开展活动了。果然不出我所料，几分钟后，校园里响起了优美的音乐，“小小超市”伴着音乐开业了!

我来到校园，只见“超市”里人山人海，“柜台”上摆满了商品。我想：是先当售货员呢还是当顾客呢?还是当顾客吧!先看着别人怎样卖东西。想到这里，我就把玩具放回教室，带着钱去逛“超市”。来到一个“柜台”前，我看见一个带有“福娃妮妮”的中国结。我觉得这个中国结很漂亮，便问“售货员”姐姐要多少钱。姐姐亲切地说：“不贵，只要1元。”我说：“姐姐，你能便宜点吗!”“那8角。”“卖五角吧!”我诚恳地说。姐姐见我诚心诚意，就答应了我。我喜出望外，把钱递给姐姐。姐姐边把中国结放到我手里，边说：“拿好啊!”我心想：原来做生意是这样呀!

想着，我走回教室，拿着玩具回到校园。我找了个地方摆起摊来。可是，我的生意并不兴隆，我大声喊叫着：“快来买呀!快来买呀!这里的东西物美价廉!”我的叫声引来了许多“顾客”，其中一位对我的钱包感兴趣，问：“这个钱包多少钱?”我不慌不忙的说“三元”。我又说：“你看这钱包多好啊!小巧玲珑的。”“这个钱包真的很好，我很喜欢。但是我只有二元，你卖便宜点吧!”那个顾客说。我见她真的很喜欢，就说：“好吧!”

我整整蹲了一个下午，脚都麻木了，玩具才卖完。现在，我懂得了金钱是来之不易，我们要好好珍惜。

今天，我很累，但我很开心!

百无聊赖，坐在婚宴的圆桌旁。耳中优美的歌声，客人们的交谈，主持人念着主持词，眼前都是人来人往的服务员。

无聊透顶，我开始左右打量同桌来的客人，左面坐着一位年轻身材苗条的姐姐和一位长得很英俊，穿着一套黑色的西装的叔叔，右面坐着一位白发苍苍的，衣服简朴的老奶奶。我耐心的等着。

一盘龙虾上来了，它们都摆着自己喜欢的姿势，好像在说：“你们看我，多威风啊!”人们的注意力都落在了它的身上。

旁边那位老奶奶眼疾手快地把筷子伸向了龙虾。再把自己的筷子放在自己的嘴里，舔了几下，我在心里想：“饕餮，老饕一一老饕。”说着我把手伸向龙虾，她也将手伸了出去，我们俩的胳膊开始了搏斗，她一翻，我一转，我还是坚定地把手伸向龙虾，好不容易夹到了一个，还掉在了地上，我很失望，她夹了几个放在了我的盘子里，我激动地看了看他，后面的饭菜她都不忘给我夹几个，我低头吃着米饭，吃着龙虾，很感激她!

回到家，我把这件事讲给妈妈听，妈妈说：“世界上重要的人只有几个，她是一个好人。”

Dear Mr. Wang,

I am pleased to invite you to a luncheon, to be held by the Monterey Institute of International Studies on October 12, 2006 at noon, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the death of General Stilwell and in honor of his daughter, Mrs. Nancy Stilwell Easterbrook. Mrs. Easterbrook was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Monterey Institute and founder of the Stilwell Scholarship, which is dedicated to supporting students from China.

For many years until she passed away, Nancy had served as a goodwill ambassador of the American people who made unremitting efforts to promote exchanges between the United States and China. The Stilwell Scholarship she founded helps support deserving students from China who have come to the Monterey Institute to pursue professional degrees in translation and interpretation, international policy studies, language teaching and business management.

I hope you will be able to join us. Mr. Chuanyun Boo, Dean of the Graduate School of Translation and Interpretation, will be calling you soon to discuss this event further.

Yours sincerely,

Tom Burton

炮竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏。每年的农历正月初一是春节。在这个最受欢迎的传统节日里，人们通常会放鞭炮、贴春联、吃团年饭大街小巷挂满了火红火红的灯笼，那场面真是喜气洋洋、热闹极了。

每年除夕，妈妈会忙活一整天，做出一桌丰盛的菜肴：有美味的肉圆子，有香气扑鼻的红烧鲈鱼，还有让人眼睛放光的烤鸡翅我们还会邀请外公，外婆来我们家一起过春节。除夕夜，外公外婆一进家门，我和爸爸妈妈换好新衣服，一边笑眯眯地迎上去，一边拱手作揖，嘴里忙说：新年好!外公外婆会笑得合不拢嘴，外公摸摸我的头，并从怀里掏出一个压岁钱递到我的手中。我高兴得又蹦又跳。

一边看春晚一边吃饺子是我们家欢庆春节的方式。爸爸提前擀好饺子皮，妈妈准备好了我们最爱吃的韭菜鸡蛋饺子馅。我们全家围着桌子开始包饺子。我抡起袖子，撩起头发，学着外婆的样子，左手拾起一张饺子皮放在手心，右手用筷子夹起饺子馅，小心翼翼地放入饺子皮中，然后将饺子皮的边缘对称地用拇指和食指捏着粘合起来。外公看我有模有样的，笑了。我拿起一个刚包好的饺子，轻轻地捧在手中，递到外婆面前，问：外婆，瞧，这个饺子像不像一个银元宝?外婆竖起大拇指，笑眯眯地称赞到：像!像!说完，她又指了指满桌刚包好的饺子，说：新年发大财，元宝滚滚来。我们全家都笑了。

春晚开始了，饺子也煮好了，热气腾腾，香气扑鼻。我们一边吃着饺子聊着天，一边观看精彩的电视节目。大家脸上都露出了灿烂的笑容。我最喜欢春节，这个既温馨又快乐的传统节日。
