为了提高我们学校学生学习英语的兴趣,更好地增强学生的英语意识和英语能力,让学生在“英语社团”中体会到学习英语的乐趣,我校特地开展了英语社团的活动,这次活动的主题,就是让同学们介绍清明节
第一环节:向同学们介绍清明习俗,尽量使社团同学使用英文对清明节进行自己的描述
【清明习俗】
sweeping the tomb扫墓
One of the most important activities on this day is to tend graves to honor ancestorsdead relatives and friends. On Tomb Sweeping Day thousands of chinese families will head to
cemeteries to clean and sweep the tombs of deceased family members. As we gather with our families to remember our ancestors. remember to give thanks for family and the gift of life. In addition, as the spring comes and
everywhere gets greenpeople often go picnicking,hiking,play kites or plant willows.
清明一大重要的活动就是上坟祭拜祖先、去世的亲人及朋友。在清明这天,成千上万的中国家庭将要前往陵园去为逝去的亲人扫墓。当我们全家一起祭奠祖先的时候,记得一同感谢家人和生命
第二环节:老师介绍清明节的由来,适当运用一些有难度的词语和句子
ORIGIN 起源
Qing Ming is popularly associated with Jie Zi Tui,
who lived in Shanxi province in 600 B.C.Legend
has it that Jie saved his starving lord's life by
serving a piece of his own leg. When the lord
succeeded in becoming the ruler of a smal
principality, he invited his faithful follower to join him. However, Jie declined his invitation, preferring to lead a hermit's life with his mother in the mountains.
到清明节,有点历史知识的人,都会联想到历史人物介子推。据历史记载,在两千多年以前的春秋时代,晋国公子重耳逃亡在外,生活艰苦,跟随他的介子推不惜从自己的腿上割下一块肉让他充饥。后来,重耳回到晋国,作了国君(即晋文公,春秋五霸之一),大事封赏所有跟随他流亡在外的随从,惟独介子推拒绝接受封赏,他带了母亲隐居绵山。
本次活动结束后,同学们都发表了自己的想法和感受,对清明节也有了更多的了解,希望通过这样的活动开展,对同学们学习英语能有更多的帮助!
