北京的故宫是个美丽的大皇宫。故宫也叫作“紫禁城”。这里居住过24个明清两代的皇帝呢！故宫的整个建筑金碧辉煌，庄严华丽，被誉为世界五大宫之一。

当我进去后，首先展现在我眼前的是坤宁宫。坤宁宫是皇妃住的地方，这里风景优美，绿草如茵，繁花似锦。故宫的宫殿建筑是中国现存最大、最完整的古老建筑，总面积达到72万多平方米，殿宇宫室有9000万多间，极为壮观。

穿过书斋就到了乾清宫，这是皇上上早朝的地方，乾清宫的正前方摆着一张镀金龙椅。龙椅上刻着许多龙，有的双龙戏珠，有的互相缠绕，真是惟妙惟肖。我抬头往上一看，墙上有一块大大的匾，匾上写着“正大光明”四个大字，仿佛这四个大字是告诫大臣们：“凡是做事，都要正大光明地做。”我站在这中间，也仿佛看到当时的皇上和大臣们商议朝政时的气势。

先说说我的缺点吧，我的缺点就是在学习上非常的马虎，上课的时候一点也不认真听讲，有时光做小动作;上课的时候我很少举手回答问题，写作业的时候一点都不认真，总是马马虎虎的，一写作业就有许多的错题，没有几个对题。

我喜欢跳舞，因为每当放假的时候我就让妈妈送我学跳舞，从那时起我就爱上了跳舞，跳舞可以给我带来快乐和欢笑;可以让我反应快;也可以给我带来快乐的梦想。

我喜欢唱歌，因为唱歌对我的嗓子好，从那时起我就爱上了唱歌。唱歌有一个特点就是可以边唱歌边跳舞。

可是，我有一个坏毛病，每天放学回家都慢慢地写作业，老是让爸爸妈妈生气。

哈哈，这就是我，一个爱唱歌、跳舞的小姑娘。

从现在起，我一定要把以上这些不好的毛病都改掉，做一个学习认真，做事不马虎的好学生，请老师和同学们帮助我，监督我，谢谢老师和同学的帮助，让我改掉这个坏毛病。

一大天早上，我出了门便拥抱了一大堆的雾气，我迷茫的看了看身边的环境，一片白花花的，这让我始料不及，我凭着自己的记忆力找到了车站，我心里一边想着为什么今天雾这么大一边走来走去，后来到学校上地理课，恰好今天讲气候，所以老师便和我们说：“形成雾霾的主要原因是因为我们没有好好地保护环境，导致环境快速恶化，以至于空气中都弥漫着细菌，所以出门一定要记得戴口罩，所谓病从口入。。。”

老师又说了一大堆可我也无心再去听了，下午放学回家，雾还是那么大，我忽然发现了一个问题就是我本来就是个路盲，再加上这样的天气，更找不到家了，我连忙凭着自己的感觉向家跑去，可是好几次却都坐吃山空，我气喘吁吁的坐在小区的石凳上，等待妈妈下班会看到我，半个小时以后，妈妈终于回来了，妈妈看见坐在家门口的我很是惊讶，说道：”在外边干嘛为什么不进屋子?

“我居然坐在家门口半个小时却不知道自己在家的门口，回家看报纸也发现了很多人都找错了家，更离谱的是有的人在那天结婚车队跟丢了，哎，早知道好好保护环境好了，我们一次的污染会造成自然很大的伤害，所以大家还是警醒一点吧，我们这样地不爱护大自然，让她伤了心，受到伤害的反而是我们，所以我们平时的一点一滴都会影响我们的生活，如果我们生活的土地一去不复返，到时候后悔也来不及了，所以，保护环境，请从青少年做起!

介绍元宵节风俗的英语作文

The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance.

This days important activity is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. One emperor heard that Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of Buddhas body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the Central Plains to the whole of China.

Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "Guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the Festival.

Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will get a little gift. The activity emerged during peoples enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.

People will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also called the "Yuanxiao Festival."Yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. It is small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean paste, jujube paste, walnut meat, dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling. Tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes sweet and delicious. What’s more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar

pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning reunion. So people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family.

In the daytime of the Festival, performances such as a dragon lantern dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance, walking on stilts and beating drums while dancing will be staged. On the night, except for magnificent lanterns, fireworks form a

beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks from the Spring Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival. Some local governments will even organize a fireworks party. On the night when the first full moon enters the New Year, people become really intoxicated by the imposing fireworks and bright moon in the sky.

元宵节英文介绍译文:

元宵节

每年农历的正月十五日，春节刚过，迎来的就是中国的传统节日--元宵节。

元宵主要的活动就是看灯。东汉明帝时期，明帝提倡佛教，听说佛教有正月十五日僧人观佛舍利，点灯敬佛的做法，就命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙里点灯敬佛，令士族庶民都挂灯。以后这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐形成民间盛大的节日。该节经历了由宫廷到民间，由中原到全国的发展过程。

直到今天，元宵点灯的习俗仍然在中国的各地流传的，各式各样美丽的花灯在这一天都会点亮，孩子们提着自制的灯笼走街串巷，非常高兴。

猜灯谜也是元宵节的一项重要活动，花灯的主人会将谜面写在灯笼上，挂在门口，如果有人可以猜中，就能得到小小的礼物。这项活动最早起源于宋朝，因为谜语能启迪智慧又饶有兴趣，所以流传过程中深受社会各阶层的欢迎。

民间过元宵节吃元宵的习俗。元宵由糯米制成，或实心，或带馅。馅有豆沙、白糖、山楂、各类果料等，食用时煮、煎、蒸、炸皆可。起初，人们把这种食物叫“浮圆子”，后来又叫“汤团”或“汤圆”，这些名称“团圆”字音相近，取团圆之意，象征全家人团团圆圆，和睦幸福，人们也以此怀念离别的亲人,寄托了对未来生活的美好愿望。

随着时间的推移，元宵节的活动越来越多，白天有耍龙灯、耍狮子、踩高跷、划旱船扭秧歌、打太平鼓等传统民俗表演。到了夜晚，除了五颜六色的美花灯之外，还有艳丽多姿的烟火。大多数家庭会在春节时留下一些烟花等到元宵节这天燃放，而一些地方政府也会举办烟花大会，当新年的第一个月圆之夜在盛大的烟火表演中来临时，人们都陶醉在这令人难忘了烟花与皎洁的明月中。
