英文作文篇1

　　My strongest memory of Christmas will always bound up with1) a certain little cat.I first saw her when I was called to see one of Mrs.Ainsworth’ dogs，and I looked in some surprise at the furry2) black creature sitting before the fire.“I didn’t know you had a cat，”I said.

　　The lady smiled.“We haven’t，this is Debbie，at least that’s what we call her.She’s a stray.Comes here two or three times a week and we give her some food.I don’t know where she lives but I believe she spends a lot of her time around one of the farms along the road.”

　　As I watched she turned，crept soundlessly from the room and was gone.“That’s always the way with Debbie，”Mrs.Ainsworth laughed.“She never stays more than ten minutes or so，then she’s off.”

　　Mrs.Ainsworth was a plumpish3)，pleasant-faced woman in her forties and the kind of client veterinary4) surgeons dream of --well-off ，generous，and the owner of three cosseted5) Basset hounds.And it only needed the habitually mournful expression of one of the dogs to deepen a little and I was round there posthaste.

　　So my visits to the Ainsworth home were frequent but undemanding，and I had ample opportunity to look out for the little cat that had intrigued me.On one occasion I spotted her nibbling daintily from a saucer at the kitchen door.As I watched she turned and almost floated on light footsteps into the hall and then through the lounge6) door.The three Bassets were already in residence draped snoring on the fireside rug，but they seemed to be used to Debbie.

　　Debbie sat among them in her usual posture：upright，intent，gazing absorbedly into the glowing coals.This time I tried to make friends with her.I approached her carefully but she leaned away as I stretched out7) my hand.However，by patient wheedling and soft talk I managed to touch her and gently stroke her cheek with one finger.There was a moment when she responded by putting her head on one side and rubbing back against my hand，but soon she was ready to leave.Once outside the house she darted quickly along the road then through a gap in a hedge，and the last I saw was the little black figure flitting over the rain-swept grass of a field.

　　It must have been nearly three months before I heard from Ainsworth，and in fact I had begun to wonder at the Bassets’ long symptomless run when she came on the phone.

　　It was Christmas morning and she was apologetic.“Mr.Herriot，I’m so sorry to bother you today of all days.I should think you want a rest at Christmas like anybody else.”But her natural politeness could not hide the distress in her voice.

　　“Please don’t worry about that，”I said.“Which one is it this time?”

　　“It’s not one of the dogs.It’s...Debbie.”

　　“Debbie?She’s at your house now?”

　　“Yes...but there’s something wrong.Please come quickly.”

　　Mrs.Ainsworth’s home was lavishly decorated with tinsel and holly，rows of drinks stood on the sideboard and the rich aroma of turkey and sage-and-onion stuffing wafted from the kitchen.But her eyes were full of pain as she led me through to the lounge.

　　Debbie was there all right，but this time everything was different.She wasn’t sitting upright in her usual position;she was stretched quite motion less on her side，and huddle close to her lay a tiny black kitten.

　　I looked down in bewilderment.“What’s happened here?”

　　“It’s the strangest thing，”Mrs.Ainsworth replied.“I haven’t seen her for several weeks then she came in about two hours ago--sort of staggered into the kitchen，and she was carrying the kitten in her mouth.She took it through the lounge and laid it on the rug，and at first I was amused.But I could see all was not well because she sat as she usually does，but for a long time--over an hour--then she lay down like this and she hasn’t moved.”

　　I knelt on the rug and passed my hand over Debbie’s neck and ribs.She was thinner than ever，her fur dirty and mud-caked.She did not resist as I gently opened her mouth，a knell sounded in my mind.

　　Mrs.Ainsworth’s voice seemed to come from afar.“Is she ill，Mr.Herriot?”

　　I hesitated.“Yes...yes，I’m afraid so.She has a malignant growth.”I stood up.“There’s absolutely nothing you can do.I’m sorry.”

　　Mrs.Ainsworth reached out and lifted the bedraggled black morsel.She smoothed her finger along the muddy fur and the tiny mouth opened in a soundless miaow.“Isn’t it strange?She was dying and she brought her kitten here.And on Christmas Day.”

　　The tears had dried on Mrs.Ainsworth’s cheeks and she was bright-eyed as she looked at me.“I’ve never had a cat before，”she said.

　　I smiled.“Well it looks as though you’ve got one now.”

　　And she certainly had.The kitten grew rapidly into a sleek，handsome cat with a boisterous8) nature which earned him the name of Buster.On my visits I watched his development with delight.

　　As I looked at him，a picture of health and contentment，my mind went back to his mother.Was it too much to think that that dying little creature，with the last of her strength，had carried her kitten to the only haven of comfort and warmth she had ever known in the hope that it would be cared for there?Maybe it was.

　　But it seemed I wasn’t the only one with such fancies.Mrs.Ainsworth turned to me and though she was smiling her eyes were wistful9).“Debbie would be pleased，”she said.

　　I nodded.“Yes，she would...It was just a year ago today she brought him，wasn’t it?”

　　“That’s right.”She hugged Buster to her again.“The best Christmas present I ever had.”

　　The American tradition of "trick-or-treating" probably dates back to the early All Souls' Day parades in England. During the festivities, poor citizens would beg for food and families would give them pastries called "soul cakes" in return for their promise to pray for the family's dead relatives.

　　The distribution of soul cakes was encouraged by the church as a way to replace the ancient practice of leaving food and wine for roaming spirits. The practice, which was referred to as "going a-souling" was eventually taken up by children who would visit the houses in their neighborhood and be given ale, food, and money.

　　The tradition of dressing in costume for Halloween has both European and Celtic roots. Hundreds of years ago, winter was an uncertain and frightening time. Food supplies often ran low and, for the many people afraid of the dark, the short days of winter were full of constant worry. On Halloween, when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world, people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid being recognized by these ghosts, people would wear masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits. On Halloween, to keep ghosts away from their houses, people would place bowls of food outside their homes to appease the ghosts and prevent them from attempting to enter.

　　I don't understand why cann't she control her temper. my wife is the high-power,career driven type. she is very good to me but is also bossy and manipulative sometimes. She works for a start-up company in healthcare as a manager and the work gives her lots of stress. tonight, she came back very late as usual. we had a small talk, then I asked her did you send my mail out today? she said no i forgot. i was a little upset cause i assumed she did and wrote to the friend.

　　i could send it out next monday, anyway, it doesnt make much of a difference if it arrives one or two days sooner. she said. dont worry, it's ok. please do remember this time. "why didn't you remind me? why everyone ask me to do this and that? why should I do all the work."she yelled, "I didn't sleep well for a long time and is very depressed. I feel like breaking stuff. She continued.

　　I feel very upset too not because other reason but because she anger she unleashed on me. it was nobody's fault. though i may looked little disappointed, I understand her situation and didn't ask for a lot. she choosed the job, she is working for her goal. this is supposed to be good. why are we suffering. i tried to find an answer.

　　she went to bed, but I am in no mood to sleep. i could only write something about my feeling and hoping to get some comfort from friends here. as a man, I don't like to fight with women and even with a very strong personality. I am soft spoken and patient. men can control themselves, why can't women. maybe that is the difference.

　　People are happy when the Spring Festival comes, but do you know the origin of Spring Festival? If you don't know, just listen to me.

　　Legend has it that in the ancient times, there was a vicious monster, a large body, a horn with horns, and a big mouth. This monster is called nian.

　　At that time, there were two children, ashan and water. They were good friends. They were very brave. They often drove their cattle to the hillside to eat grass. The family said to them: "there is a year in the mountains.

　　"Not afraid." Ashan and water have their own minds.

　　That said, they went up a couple of times, but luckily they didn't touch nian. The weather turned yellow. Ah shan, water drive the cattle to come home with a monster. That was the year. The whip made a noise from the mountain, and the year, when he heard the torsion, he saw the red clothes on the water run faster.

　　Ah shan, ah water sees this all clear, return to the village, they say to others: year afraid of red afraid to ring, these are its weak points. We don't have to worry about it.

　　From then on, people wear red clothes on the twelfth lunar month, some firecrackers, and this time is called "New Year".
