『壹』 英语选修课作文

五月三十一日，六年级和一年级的同学们在分部参加了一次义卖活动。活动方法是每个班准备一个具有本班特色的商店，由本班的学生担任服务员，出售不需要的，七八成新的物品。
三十一日早晨，同学们都早早地来到了学校，忙着搬桌椅、做横幅，一些班干部不停地跑上跑下，寻找安排好的服务员分配一些简单的准备工作，或小跑着搬运要出售的物品。离活动开始还有十分钟，我们的商店就已经基本布置好了。站在校门口向大操场望去，十三个小小的商店摆满了各式各样、花花绿绿的物品，店牌上五颜六色的艺术字十分显眼，使我看了都想马上去购物了。一年级的小同学戴着各种小头饰，在他们的商店边上跑来跑去，迫不及待想要马上开始活动。
随着老师说出“活动开始”这几个字，全场沸腾了。每个同学的脸上都露出兴奋的神情。一个个小商店马上被人群包围了，售货员的吆喝声，“顾客”们的叫声、讨价声响成一片。各班分配好的人员正在工作：宣传员忙不迭地发着传单；环保员快速地从地上捡起一片片废纸；市场管理员跑到售货员面前，正在说着什么；推销员亲热地招呼着顾客……我们的老师也加入了进来。他手里拿着收款箱，一会儿拿起小饰品向同学们展示，一会儿又放开他的大嗓门吆喝，吸引了很多外班同学。
活动还在进行着，许多同学的书包已经满满的了。一个同学向我展示他买的商品---一本书、一个头饰、毛绒玩具、还有一个钥匙链。他高兴地告诉我钥匙链只花了五角钱，不但比商店里买的便宜多了，质量也不差。我也买了许多东西，其中一本名著只花了两元钱。这个价钱真的很合算。
活动结束了。各班的商品都卖完了。同学们抱着鼓鼓的书包，美滋滋地回了教室。我们班总共卖出了1100元，这可是班里所有工作人员换来的。这次义卖活动让我们体验到了劳动的乐趣，同时也为学校的建设出了一份力，真是一举两得。它令我难忘

California is the third largest state in the USA but has the largest population ( over 30 million people ) .It is also the most multicultural state in the US . This is not surprising when you know the history or California, which at various times, has attracted people form nearly every country in the world.

NATIVE AMERICANS

Exactly when the first people arrived in what we now know as California, no one really knows . However , it is likely that Native Americans were living in California at least fifteen thousand years ago . Scientists believe that these first settlers crossed the Bering Strait from Asia to Alaska by means of a land bridge which existed in prehistoric times. In the 16th century, after the arrival of Europeans, the nation people suffered greatly . Thousands were killed or forced into slavery . In addition , many died from the diseases brought by Europeans . However, some survived these terrible times and today there are more Native American living in California than in any other state .

THE SPANISH

In the 18th century , California was ruled by Spain . Spanish soldiers first arrived in South America in the early 16th century when they fought against the nation people and took their land . Two centuries later , the Spanish had settled in most parts of South America and along the northwest coast of what we now call the United States . Of the first Spanish to go to California , the majority were religious men who came to teach the Catholic religion to the natives . In 1821 , the people of Mexico gained their independence from Spain . California then became part of Mexico . However , in 1846 the United States declared war on Mexico and after it lost the war , Mexico had to give California to the United States . However there is still a strong Spanish influence in the state . This is why today over 40% of Californians speak Spanish as a first or second language .

RUSSIANS

In the early 1800s , Russian fur trappers , who had originally gone to Alaska , began settling in California . Today where are about 25,000 Russian-Americans living in and around San Francisco .

GOLD MINERS

In 1848 , not long after the American-Mexican war , gold was discovered in California . The dream of becoming rich quickly attracted people from all over the world . The nearest and therefore the first to arrive , were South Americans , and people from the United States . Adventurers from Europe , then later from Asia and even the Pacific Islands , soon followed . In fact , few achieved their dream of becoming rich . Many died or returned home , but most remained in California became the thirty-first states of the United States of America in 1850 , it was already a multicultural society .

LATER ARRIVALS

Although Chinese immigrants began to arrive ring the Gold Rush Period , it was the building of the railway from west to the east coast that brought even larger numbers to California in the 1860s . Today , Chinese-Americans live in all parts of California , although a large percentage have chosen to stay in the “Chinatowns” of Los Angeles and San Francisco .

Italians , mainly fishermen but also some wine maker , arrived in California in the late 19th century . In 1911 immigrants from Denmark established a town of their own , which today still keeps up its Danish culture . By the 1920s the film instry was well established in Hollywood , California . The instry attracted Europeans , including many Jewish people . Today , California has the second largest Jewish population in the United States . Japanese farmers began arriving in California at the beginning of the 20th century and since the 1980s a lot more have settled in California . People from Africa have been living in California since the 1800s , when they moved north from Mexico . However , even more arrived between 1942 and 1945 when they came to California to work in the ship and aircraft instries .

MOST RECENT ARRIVALS

In more recent decades , California has become home to people from Asia , including Cambodians , Koreans , Vietnamese and Laotians . Since its beginning in the 1970s , the computer instry has attracted Indians and Pakistanis to California .

THE FUTURE

People from different parts of the world , attracted by the climate and lifestyle , still immigrate to California . It is believed that before long the mix of nationalities will be so great that there will be no major racial or cultural groups , but simple a mixture of many races and cultures .
