关于清明节节英语作文（汇编20篇）

The Spring Festival is my most favorite festival, because it’s time for

family gathering. And the Spring Festival is a new start of a year. It brings me

hope and courage. On Spring Festival, my parents usually take me back to my

hometown. My hometown is a small town. Many of my relatives move to the larger

cities, but we usually go home when the Spring Festival comes. During the

gathering, we share our lives with others and care about each other. Of course,

big meals are necessary. Families prepare for the big meals together. They all

cook their specialty dishes. Therefore, our meals are always delicious. We often

stay at home for three days and then we leave with others’ wishes. I like the

Spring Festival, because I like family gathering.

for the better future. Every parent wants their kids have advantage over others,

so they can be outstanding and have a good job. Students learn in campus, they

necessary for them knowing something about society.

Before study in college, students focus all their attention on study for

what their parents tell them. After entering college, it is a little different,

at this stage, study is no more the only task, students should have access to

society. They should make some preparation for the job hunting, knowing society

helps them get use to the society quickly. Some students only care about score,

when they find a job, the employer will ask him something about the public news,

but students have no idea, this is so bad. What’s more, getting familiar with

the society makes students find their own positions, they will know what they

want and fight for it.

The atmosphere of society is very different from campus, in order to better

adjust to finding a job, students should get to know society.

The Qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times, people have followed the custom of Spring outings. At this time tourists are everywhere.

People love to fly kites during the Qingming Festival. Kite flying is actually not limited to the Qingming Festival. Its uniqueness lies in that people fly kites not during the day, but also at night. A string of little lanterns tied onto the kite or the thread look like shining stars, and therefore, are called "gods lanterns."

The Qingming Festival is also a time to plant trees, for the survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast later. In the past, the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But since 1979, "Arbor Day" was settled as March 12 according to the Gregorian calendar.

Music is the important part of my life. The world needs music to amuse

peoples life. As they live in the fast pace, music can bring them the great joy

and relax. Since I was very small, I fell in love with music and every time when

I heard music, my body would move and feel relaxed. The function of music is

various.

There is a famous song, which called let the music heal your soul. A lot of

young people have their favorite singers. When they see their idols face to

face, they would say thank you to the singers, because their songs inspire these

young people to move on in the dark days. The songs deliver positive messages to

the public and inspire them to never give up.

Listening to the music is the main way for the young people to release

their pressure. Every day before I sleep, I will listen to the light music,

which helps me to take relax and make me sleep well. The reason why so many

people like to KTV after their work lies in releasing pressure. They need to

shout and then forget about the annoyance.

Music is favored by everyone and it is the indispensable part of our

life.

Which is better, shopping online or traditional shopping? Different people

have different attitudes towards it. Some people think that online shopping is

very convenient, for it can save them a lot of time and energy. It’s especially

helpful for those who are always busy with their work. Besides, through the

internet, they can get more information about the commodities they want to buy

and buy a lot of things that cannot be bought in local places.

Nevertheless, I’m not keen on online shopping at all, since most

commodities which are bought online are of poor quality. Once we are cheated, we

may find it difficult to make a complaint. Thus we should take more cautions

when shopping online.

In my eyes, I prefer traditional shopping, because I can choose what I

really need. Also, I can know the quality of every commodity more clearly. Even

if there’s something wrong with the commodities, I can still ask the sellers to

compensate for my loss.

冬天过去了，万物复苏，这时，一年一度的清明节又到了。从我记事开始，每年清明节的这一天，母亲就让我换上军色的春装，带着纸钱，领着我上坟去。

我们家去世的人都埋在扁担山，那儿离我家很远，要转好几道车。记得小时候，我总是很高兴去上坟，因为母亲在坟前一烧纸钱，就管不着我了，我便满山遍野地到处玩，直到母亲把我拖上车去。不知从什么时候开始，我去上坟不再又玩又闹了，而是逐个逐个地观察每一座坟。有一次我发现在一座破烂不堪的坟前，从来没有纸钱烧过的痕迹，我很奇怪，就弯下腰，仔细辨认碑上的文字，上面好像刻着什么“生前曾参加过抗美援朝的战斗”，而且他还是个外乡人哩!咦，他应该埋在烈士墓园吧!为什么上面没有一个亲属的名字?

我带着疑问跑去好奇地告诉母亲，母亲没有抬头，只是缓缓地说：“唉!你拿些纸钱去为他上坟吧!”我接过了母亲递来的一叠纸钱。走到了他墓前，一边往火里扔纸钱，一边喃喃地说：“从来没有人来为您上过坟，您一定很寂寞吧，我虽然不知道您叫什么，也不认识您，但您当年一定是个功臣，如今尸骨却流落他乡，我为您烧一些纸钱吧……”这时，一双手温和地扶住了我的双肩，我回头一看，原来是母亲，她轻轻从我手中拿了一些纸钱，扔向火中，纸钱打着旋落在火中，一张，两张、四张……

今年又到清明了，由于母亲得了严重的风湿性关节炎，她不能上坟了，而我一个人去她又不放心。于是我们就在室外烧纸钱，母亲扔一些纸钱就说：“爹!您接着吧!小远(我的舅舅)拿着……”

纸钱只剩下最后一叠时，母亲把它递给我说：“小咏，你为那位死不知名的人烧吧，唉!没人给他上坟怪可怜的`。”……火光映着我的脸，我在心里说：“安息吧!明年清明节时，我一定为您去上坟!”一阵风吹了过来，把纸钱烧过的灰烬吹走了……

“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。”

记得小学学这首诗时，还懵懵懂懂，不是很明白“清明”是什么意思?我知道这个人很亲民，可就是不知道这诗句里的清明。

“你不明白，只是因为你没有失去。”

人总会在一个特定的时空里明白一句话。六年级的某一天，杜牧的这句话就向我走来了。

那是我过完生日的第一天，我怀着生日的美好回忆，来到教室，准备与同学分享生日趣事。但是老师那天来得格外的早，我只好将这些趣事吞进肚子，也因此那节课听得极其不认真。好不容易挨到了下课。却在窗外看见了妈妈，她眉头紧锁，眼神焦急，嘴唇抿成一条线。衣领有些歪，头发也有些凌乱，像是刚从噩梦里走来。

看着她神色苍茫的样子，我有些疑惑，张口准备问她。可没等我出声就被她抓着手腕往外走，我还没和伙伴们分享我的生日趣事，我还没说出我的快乐呢!我被妈妈莫名其妙的举动搞得有些恼火，想要质问她。她却说了一句令我至今无法忘记的话——

“爷爷可能不行了。”

这句话一下子轰炸了我的思绪，脑子一片空白，之前的快乐都是虚妄，我感到一股更大的情绪在我体内膨胀，我不清楚它缘何有那么大的力量，竟然能迅速地将我的泪催生出来，一句“不可能”还未说出口，泪就奔涌而出，一发不可收拾，只知道麻木地跟着妈妈的脚步。

直到上了车，才回过神来。内心默默告诉自己没事的，只是爸爸妈妈想多了，爷爷不会离开的，可不停流下的眼泪暴露了我的谎言，我知道我的内心已是信了七八分了。一路上，我们都没有说话，想着自己的事。这一路上我一直在自我催眠，告诉自己，爷爷不会有事的。

到家后，泪水已经止住，眼睛有些干涩。外表上来看，只有那一圈红红的眼眶，能证明刚刚发生了什么事。看到爷爷后，刚止住的泪水，又情不自禁地流了下来。我想起昨天的生日会，想起那段时间一次都没去看望过他，我躲在房间里，一边控诉着自己的行为，一边祈祷着。可最后，爷爷还是走了。我跪在他的床边，失声痛哭。

今年的清明，我又去看他了，照片上的他是那样的神采飞扬。我，好想他。

“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。”

我不知道当时的自己是否会在悲伤的一瞬间想到杜牧的这句诗，但是我知道现在一读到这句诗，我就想到了那时的悲伤。当悲伤逆流成河，连同曾经的懊悔一起席卷而来，我便仿佛明白“清明”的含义了。

Science and technology have been bringing human beings tremendous benefits.

Thanks to science and technology, we now live comfortably and conveniently in

houses furnished with air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines and

televisions etc. Thanks to science and technology, we can eat fresh vegetables

at the year round. Thanks to science and technology, we can travel long

distances in the fraction of a second on planes, trains and cars. Thanks to

science and technology, we wear clothes with synthetic materials which can not

easily be worn out.

However, science and technology have atso brought us a lot of disasters.

First, because of the many breakthroughs in the field of medicine, people are

now living much longer than they used to. As a result, the population of the

world is increasing, causing lots of problems. Second, because of the

development of industry, lots of the wastes from factories pour into the air and

rivers, causing pollution of all kinds. Third, some terrorists are using science

and technology against mankind. They use biological, chemical and unclear

weapons to threaten world peace...

So its urgent that we find ways to solve these problems. But we should not

stop the development of science and technology because of these disasters they

bring, just as we should not give up eating for fear of choking. In addition, we

should make some rules to regulate our actions. As long as we use science and

technology in a proper way, they may bring us even more benefits.

Since I was a little child, I had a dream that I wanted to be a doctor.

When I was little, I watched many TV series and movies about doctors. I thought

they were so great. Therefore, I made up my mind to be a doctor. In my opinion,

doctor is the people who can help patience get out of sickness and pain.I want

to be the person who can help others. However, being a doctor needs so much

professional knowledge and there is a long way to go. So I have to try my best

on my study and go to a good college.

dear dick,

how time flies! i’m very glad to hear from you again. you want to know what is going on in schools in china? in a word, everything has changed. every school takes part in the campaign of reducing learning load. in the past, i used to study until 11:30 on weekends. but now i can arrange things on my own, such as reading books, visiting museums, or taking computer lessons in my weekend days. in the evening i can watch news on tv or read newspapers. what’s more, my parents support me. they said although i was a student, i didn’t have to work all day long. i think the idea of reducing learning load is well accepted by everyone.

best wishes,

第一篇

Last Qingming Festival，I return home to worship my grandfather.Qingming Festival is a folk Festival.In the past，the Qingming Festival was called “Arbor Day”。 But Today， Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush that has grown. Weeds are pulled， and dirt swept away， and the family will set out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a family"s home altar， the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry， bland food. One theory is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area， the less appealing food will be consumed by the ancestors， and not be plundered by strangers.

With the passing of time， this celebration of life became a day to the honor past ancestors. Following folk religion， the Chinese believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and spirit money could keep them happy， and the family would prosper through good harvests and more children.

去年清明节,我回家去敬拜我的祖父。清明节是一个民间节日。在过去,清明节被称为“植树节”。但今天,中国访问他们的家族坟墓往往任何增长的矮树丛。杂草了,泥土冲走,家庭将提供食物和精神的钱。与牺牲在一个家庭的家庭祭坛,坟墓的产品通常由干燥,温和的食物。一种理论是,由于任意数量的鬼魂罗马坟墓周围区域,吸引人的食物会被越少的祖先,而不是由陌生人掠夺。

随着时间的流逝,这个庆典的生活成为一天纪念过去的祖先。中国民间宗教后,相信死去的祖先的灵魂照顾家庭。牺牲的食物和钱能让他们快乐,精神和家庭将繁荣通过丰收和更多的孩子。

今天是清明节的节日。古人说:清明雨季节。这是阴天天气,我们有一个去Ta-Qing Chihu。

途中我们将看到一个强大的草和不屈不挠的毅力,上演了迎接春天,不甘示弱,它穿上新的绿色的衣服,绿色的花朵在电影中,有红色,有绿色、黄色的……我们去,来到一个字段,眼睛到处都是大饱眼福,站在强奸兴高采烈,对许多常会露珠像黄金滑滑的小滚……齐川阳湖,柳树柳树编织一段在绿色树叶和芽装饰,是第一个女孩比任何珠宝还想看起来不错。

清明节是一个纪念祖先的节日。主要的纪念仪式是扫墓，扫墓是慎终追远、郭亲睦邻及行孝的具体表现;基于上述意义，清明节因此成为华人的重要节日。 清明节是在仲春和暮春之交，也就是冬至后的106天。扫墓活动通常是在清明节的前十天或后十天。有些地域的人士的扫墓活动长达一个月。

ORIGIN(起源)

Qing Ming is popularly associated with Jie Zi Zhui, who lived in Shanxi province in 600 B.C. Legend has it that Jie saved his starving lords life by serving a piece of his own leg. When the lord succeeded in becoming the ruler of a small principality, he invited his faithful follower to join him. However, Jie declined his invitation, preferring to lead a hermits life with his mother in the mountains.

Believing that he could force Jie out by burning the mountain, the lord ordered his men to set the forest on fire. To his consternation, Jie chose to remain where he was and was burnt to death. To commemorate Jie, the lord ordered all fires in every home to be put out on the anniversary of Jies death. Thus began the "cold food feast", a day when no food could be cooked since no fire could be lit.

The "cold food" festival occurs on the eve of Qing Ming and is often considered as part of the Qing Ming festival. As time passes, the Qing Ming festival replaced the "cold food" festival. Whatever practice is observed，the basic observation of Qing Ming is to remember ones elders by making a special effort to visit their graves, ashes or ancestral tablets. To make the visit even more meaningful, some time should be spent to remind the younger members of the family of the lives and contributions of their ancestors, and the story of Jie Zi Zhui who choose death over capitulation.

谈到清明节，有点历史知识的人，都会联想到历史人物介子椎。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，跟随他的介子椎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，惟独介子椎拒绝接受封赏，他带了母亲隐居绵山。

晋文公无计可施，只好放火烧山，他想，介子椎孝顺母亲，一定会带着老母出来。谁知这场大火却把介子椎母子烧死了。为了纪念介子椎，晋文公下令每年的这一天，禁止生火，家家户户只能吃生冷的食物，这就是寒食节的来源。

寒食节是在清明节的前一天，古人常把寒食节的活动延续到清明，久而久之，清明取代了寒食节。拜介子椎的习俗也变成了清明扫墓的习俗了。无论以何种形式纪念，为了使纪念祖先的仪式更有意义，我们应该让年轻一代的家庭成员了解先人过去的奋斗历史，当然，还要学习介子椎宁死不屈的气节。

I think reading is important in the whole life for people. There are many

benefits of reading.

Firstly, reading increases our knowledge and we can learn the world affairs

without going out. Secondly, reading is a good way to improve reading and

writing skills. Before you learn to write, you must know how others write.

Thirdly, reading can broaden our knowledge and horizon, which is important to

job hunting in the future.

Finally, reading helps us become self-cultivation that would be beneficial

to our whole life. Therefore, start to reading, no matter how old you are and

what you are doing. Then, you may find the great charm and benefits of

reading.

Recently, the news reported that one special kind of rhino from Africa just

passed away, which meant the disappearance of this lovely creature. What a great

pity. The tragedy is caused by the damaged environment, while human being must

be blamed for it, because we have done so many bad things to pollute the

environment and make the nature lose its balance. In order to make up our faults

and save our offspring, it is in need of protecting the environment. As the

ordinary people, we can do the small things, such as do not throw away the

rubbish and join some activities to bring the world green, like planting trees.

Every small act can make a difference. Some day, when we live with the

environment friendly, what we do is worth.
