小学春节的英语作文【精彩20篇】

1月17日，我们一家人去老竹镇沙溪村参加“莲都区农家乐春节风俗体验活动”，这次活动让我感受到了浓浓的过年的氛围。

一到沙溪村，看到路旁彩旗飘飘，人头攒动，把小路挤得水泄不通。人们拎着年货，脸上洋溢着幸福的笑容，好一派过年的景象！忽然网 ，一股香气扑鼻而来，循着香味走去，我们来到了做米糖的体验地点。只见师傅将糖油倒进锅中煮沸，再将炸好的脆米倒入锅中搅拌，之后将这些脆米放入一个模具中压平，用刀切成一块块，让风将其晾干，甜甜的米糖便做好了。

沿着乡村小道继续向前，又看见炸番薯片的地点，我们自然也一饱了口福。接着，我们来到了包粽子的场地。已有很多人在那儿包了。我小心翼翼地拿起粽皮，开始时对粽皮束手无策，后来经过一位大娘的指导，终于学会了这门技术。我先把它折成锥形，再往里面放糯米、咸菜和猪肉，然后将粽皮包严实了，最后用棕榈绳绑住，就大功告成了。

这次活动还有许许多多的体验项目，如打麻糍、炊糖糕、炸爆米花……其中我觉得最有趣的还是磨豆浆了。走近磨豆浆的体验场地，只见一群小朋友围着一个石磨议论纷纷。我好奇地走过去，原来是农家磨豆浆用的石磨。我上前抓住木头长柄，用尽全身力气向前推，石磨还是纹丝不动。我百思不得其解，难道是我的力气还不够大？我正纳闷着，一旁的爸爸向我讲解推石磨的要领。首先抓住长柄，向逆时针方向推动，推到超过二分之一圈时，身子向后仰，将长柄使劲往后拉，石磨就一圈一圈地转动了，当石磨里的黄豆不够时，再往石磨的孔里加黄豆。瞧！沿着石槽滑至碗中的乳白色液体便是豆浆的原身。再把这些液体放入大锅里煮，煮出来的就是香喷喷的豆浆了。经过一段时间的练习，我终于掌握了技巧。我还品尝了自己的劳动成果，觉得这豆浆分外的甜。

[小学作文：有趣的春节活动

一年三百六十五天，今天，是最后一天，也就是春节，人人都沉浸在欢乐声中，家家户户贴对联，放鞭炮来庆祝这一天。

今天，就是大年三十，家家户户庆团圆，我的爸爸老妈从遥远的南京日夜兼程乘上飞奔的火车，风尘朴朴，赶到家里，还有大姨夫、小姨夫都来到家里，全家人合家欢乐。丰盛的晚餐，有团圆八宝饭，有爸爸做的盐水鸭，还有外婆做的红烧鱼，还有我在小记者活动中学会的欢喜圆，满桌的山珍海味，美味佳肴，大家吃得津津有味，并且举杯祝福外公外婆万事如意，外公祝我与姐姐、弟弟好好学习，天天向上。大家在这喜气洋洋的欢乐声中渡过了愉快的春节。

春节是我们国家一个传统的节日，我很喜欢过春节。 春节有很多习俗，比如说：放鞭炮、挂灯笼、贴春联、吃饺子等等，今年的春节过的很有意义，我帮爸爸贴春联，帮妈妈打扫卫生、包饺子，帮妈妈包的第一个饺子非常难看，然后妈妈就开始手把手的教我，后来包的饺子还可以，吃着自己包的饺子感觉特别好。

我还和姑姑、叔叔还有弟弟一起在外边放鞭炮，鞭炮响起来噼里啪啦的特别好玩，晚上我们有买了好多的烟花，烟花点燃之后飞到空中，五颜六色的，漂亮极了。春节有好多好玩的，除了好玩之外，还有好多好吃的，最主要的是还有压岁钱，我拿着压岁钱买了一些玩具，还买了好多糖果，我把糖果分享给家人一起吃，奶奶可高兴了。除了玩之外我也没有忘记老师布置的作业。 春节不但是个开心快的节日，过了春节也意味着又长大了一岁，以后要更加的懂事。

Dear Tom,

Im just writing to let you know that were all well, and I hope you are, too. Unfortunately, Ive got some rather bad news for you: Im afraid I made a bit of a mess of Johns car. Anyway, heres what happened.

We were on our way to Carols after a long party, and I suppose it must have been about eleven o’clock. Well, the last few miles back home were really dark and deserted. I now realize I was probably going a bit too fast for a country lane because, although the road was fairly straight, I drove up onto the curb and went into a tree.

Of course, John was absolutely furious and started shouting at me and cursing. After we d argued for a few moments, we decided to look at the damage, and he calmed down a bit. Well, we found we could move the car, but the wing was caught on the wheel, so we couldnt drive it. I tried to pull the wing clear, but I didnt succeed.

Anyway, John went off to phone for a breakdown lorry, but while he was away, I had another go at the wing and this time succeeded in pulling it right off. I threw it onto the back seat, and by that time John got back and we were ready to go?so we didnt need the breakdown lorry at all. John has more or less forgiven me now, but he was very angry with me for a few days. I suppose I was a bit careless.

Well, thats all for now. Next time I write I hope Ill have better news for you.

Yours sincerely,

Linda Chen

文明，藏在爆竹燃尽的浓烟里，躲在孔明灯闪烁的火苗间。春节离不开欢乐，更离不开文明。

____年冬天，雾霾包裹了整个莱芜，每次出门，总有置身于仙境的错觉，因为雾霾，交通事故频频发生，人们的肺病的几率大大提升。分不出晴天与阴天，太阳也变得吝啬小气不愿撒下丝毫的温暖。新年前几天，太阳终于绽出了大大的微笑，人们像是为了庆贺一样不约而同的放起了礼炮爆竹，噼里啪啦的声音惊跑了年兽也遮蔽了太阳。一股股的浓烟弥散在空气里，烟尘伴着你的文明一齐飞向天际。文明就只是这些张口就来的不说脏话不乱扔垃圾吗?文明就是干净自己恶心他人吗?文明是积极的为他人着想，为我们共同的家园出一份力，爆竹不仅污染环境而且危险，每年春节因燃放爆竹受伤的孩子和家长比比皆是，好好的团聚变成悲剧，既然这样为什么还要燃放烟花爆竹呢?为了所谓的传统和规矩吗?现代的中国不需要那些，需要的是文明和素质，以及可持续的发展，为了自身的文明和中国的未来，请拒绝燃放烟花爆竹!

我国古代，著名军事家诸葛亮为了在战争中通信便捷，设计出了可以点火即飘的“灯笼”——孔明灯。随着时间的推移，孔明灯逐渐成了元宵佳节为家人好友祈福，寄托思念的物品，他们带着最美的祝福与深深的思念飞向天空，再以垃圾破败的姿态落至地面，最终成为污染物与垃圾。它们更是危险的，如果落至电线或现代的蔬菜大棚上，更会引发火灾。所以，莱芜市颁布了禁止燃放孔明灯的指令，可是仍有个别素质低下不会大家着想的人燃放，这不更凸显了不文明与无知吗?为了大家和城市的安全，请拒绝燃放孔明灯!

快乐过春节，文明伴我行!

春节转眼间过去了，但节日的气氛让我记忆犹新，时时浮现在我的眼前。今年的春节我是在洛阳奶奶家度过的，大山里的风俗习惯也给我的节日增添了不少色彩。

大年三十家家户户都贴上了大红春联，让干净整洁的院子显得喜气洋洋。伴随着轰轰的炮声，我们一家人围在一起吃着难得的团圆饭。饭桌上每个人都面露喜色，相互诉说着过去一年的喜怒哀乐。

奶奶说今天晚上都不能睡觉要“守岁”，迎接新年的到来。据说“守岁’有两种含义：年长者守岁为“辞旧岁”，有珍爱光阴的意思；年轻人守岁是为了延长父母寿命。还要在大年初一五点开始放鞭炮来驱走瘟神恶鬼、喝凉粉糊糊、吃饺子。接下来就该拜年了，所有人都穿上新衣服，挨家挨户的拜年，晚辈要给长辈送饺子、磕头表达孝心，长辈给晚辈发压岁钱，表达关爱。

对于我来说，我最感兴趣的是大人给我发的压岁钱和放鞭炮。这就是我记忆里的春节。

春节是我国最隆重的传统节日，也是团圆的节日，忙碌了一年的人们都四面八方赶回家过年，大街小巷人山人海，很热闹。

大年三十的一大早，我和爸爸、妈妈就去办年货，我们买了许多春联、年画、糖果、鸡鱼……最让我高兴的是妈妈给我买我漂亮的新衣服。年货买回来，妈妈把家里打扫得干干净净，在门口挂起了大红灯笼，我和爸爸贴春联和“福”字贴到门上。

下午，爸爸、妈妈在厨房忙个不停，准务美味可口的团年饭，一阵阵香味飘出来，真香啊！全都是我爱吃的菜，鸡肉、鱼、虾……

晚上，吃过团年饭全家坐在一起看春节联欢晚会，节目很精彩。外面响起阵阵的鞭炮声，噼哩啪啦，有人放烟火，五颜六色的烟火就像在空中盛开的花朵，美丽极了。

新的一年又开始，希望全家人幸福安康，希望我的学习越来越好。

当暮色笼罩了整个天空，繁星闪烁的时候，冒着冬天的寒风，迎来了一个热闹的夜晚。一个个灯笼在房前屋后游动。这里到处都洋溢着除夕之夜的气氛。

该是合家团聚，共进晚餐的时候了，村子已不见那袅袅炊烟，路上的行人已寥寥无几。哦，人们都在尽情地他享节日的快乐。

我和爸爸刚刚放过鞭炮，我们全家便围坐在丰盛的酒席旁。全家人端起杯子在电视机和音乐中畅快痛饮。玫瑰色的葡萄酒啊!你不就是辞旧迎新的象征吗?

除夕之夜，人人心情舒畅，个个面带笑容，真是“四时花似锦，万众面皆春。”就连平时总爱生闲气的奶奶变得像小孩子一样爱笑，爸爸脸上也展开了少见的笑纹。

年饭过后，我便和爸爸妈妈一起包饺子。这是为新年准备的第顿早餐。大家边包饺子，边看春节联欢晚会，解放军叔叔用那男子汉粗犷的歌喉，表达了对亲人的怀念和对祖国人民的美好祝愿。

我的眼睛湿润了，不知是被那些真挚的歌声感染，还是对叔叔那勇于献身的精神所敬佩。是啊，我们之所以能幸福地在一起吃年夜饭，包饺子，平安地学习，工作。这不都是与解放军叔叔们吃苦，牺牲紧密相连吗?

解放军叔叔们把自己的绚丽青春献给了保卫祖国的伟大事业，把和平的生活留给了我们。真是“亏了我一人，幸福十亿人”啊!

他们不愧是我们当代最优秀的人呀!不愧是中华儿女的楷模。他们真是中华民族的骄傲呀!

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.

春节快到了，大家也都回家探望家人并吃一顿快快乐乐的年夜饭，而我也匆匆的，回家去看看奶奶爷爷。

春节的那天中午，大家喜聚一堂,准备吃年夜饭,大家都坐在椅子上聊，天南地北的事,突然,一阵啪啪声响过，这可把我吓了一跳，哦，原来是爷爷放鞭炮了。这时就正式开始吃饭了。桌上的菜不计其数，而且每个菜都很美味，大家之间变得更亲切起来，而我吃饱了饭，准备跟我的小伙伴儿去玩儿鞭炮。我们买了几盒，准备放，“呲——”鞭炮被划响了，“轰”一声巨响，震耳欲聋。我们一直玩到天黑为止。我们刚才回去看春节联欢晚会了，里面的节目逗得我们哈哈大笑。大家也仿佛有说不完的话。这时，我最期待的时候到了那就是收压岁钱的时候，收爷爷一个，奶奶一个，舅舅一个……。总算熬到十二点了。午夜的烟花马上就要发射了。“轰”第一个礼炮打响了，紧接着又有许多炮都打响了，天空顿时蒙上了一件五彩斑斓的彩衣，每一家的屋檐上挂满了灯笼，我兴奋得直跳，我这次和到十二点，真没白费，真是太壮观了……

怎么样？这就是我家的春节蛮热闹的吧！

The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival of the han. It is a very important festival in our hometown, so every year the Dragon Boat Festival is very busy.

The Dragon Boat Festival is the most indispensable, nature is zongzi, every year the grandmother of the Dragon Boat Festival and everyone will pack hundreds of big dumplings! There are many kinds of dumplings, such as reed leaves, bamboo shoots, wild leaves and lotus leaves. But our hometown is a lot of reeds, so most of them are wrapped in reeds. First, grandma "rate the army" to pick reed leaves. When picking reed leaves, a large family listens to grandmothers labor trumpet: "come on! A zongzi three leaf! Hundreds of zongzi thousands of pieces, hey, come on!" Listen to the drum of the "general", "little soldier" more effort! After the reed leaves, just burn them. But the preparation material is not so simple, still have to go to the bazaar to buy the good red bean, the pork, the peanut, the plate millet, the jujube and the glutinous rice, also buy the red line!

Of course, the most fun time is when you make zongzi. When making zongzi, the man is responsible for cutting the meat into small pieces. Women are responsible for the washing of red beans and glutinous rice. The child was responsible for washing the basin clean, and then putting the mans work in a large basin. The older people are in charge. When everything is ready, the dumplings are started. The adults are working harder, and the kids? Is playing in a side, always when the adults do not pay attention to, to steal a couple of dates, mouth on the surface seems to be a little things didnt do, but in my heart secretly complacent - because jujube is delicious!

The final step is boiled dumplings, grandpa always keep the temperature of fire to grasp well, smell very sweet, very strong, if eating zongzi in the first, you can see the meat dumplings are always tender oil and see jujube rice dumplings are always the golden tender; The eight-treasure zongzi is always delicious, and we are cute.

Last year, my grandparents might have made zongzi, if they hadnt taken care of my uncle and aunt in yancheng. I was suddenly "disgusted" with my uncle, aunt, who had a good economic condition, why not find a babysitter? Take my joyful Dragon Boat Festival and zongzi all "take away", I be so angry! Or miss the delicious dumplings!

端午节是汉族的传统节日。在我们的家乡算得上是个特别重要的节日，所以每年的端午节都过得异常热闹。

端午节最不可少的，自然是粽子，每年端午节外婆和大家都会包上几百个大粽子呢!包粽子虽然有很多种，比如芦苇叶、竹笋叶、菰叶、藕叶等。但我们的家乡是芦苇比较多，所以大多都用芦苇叶包了。首先，外婆“率兵”去采芦苇叶。采芦苇叶时，一大家子听着外婆的劳动号子：“加油!一个粽子三片叶子!上百个粽子几千片，嘿哟，加油!”听了“将军”的鼓劲，“小兵”们更加卖力了!采完芦苇叶，现在只要将它们暴晒就行了。但准备材料可没有这么简单哟，还得去集市上买来上好的红豆、猪肉、花生、板粟、蜜枣与糯米，还要买红线呢!

当然，最好玩的时候还是包粽子的时候。包粽子时，男人负责把肉切成不大不小的块儿;女人负责洗红豆、糯米之类的;小孩负责把大盆洗干净，再把大人加工好的东西装在大盆里;而老人们则负责指挥。一切准备好之后，就开始包粽子了。大人们干得格外卖力，而小孩们呢?却在一旁玩着，总是在大人们不注意时，偷一两颗蜜枣往嘴里塞，表面上似乎一点儿事都没做，可心里却暗暗自喜——因为蜜枣太好吃了!

最后一步就是煮粽子，烧火的外公总是把火候把握的很好，味道很香、很浓，如果在第一时间内吃粽子，你看到的肉粽子总是嫩地流油，看到的蜜枣粽子总是金黄柔嫩;看到的八宝粽子总是很可口，我们可爱吃了。

去年，要不是为了去盐城替舅舅、舅妈照顾表哥，外公外婆可能在包粽子哩。我突然有些“厌恶”舅舅、舅妈，他们家的经济条件不错，为什么不找个保姆?把我的欢乐端午节和粽子都“夺走了”，我好生气呀!也好怀念那味香色美的粽子呀!

我繁忙的一天 My Busy Day

Sunday ,grandma and grandpa are my house. Everybody is working.

Mum ,grandma and I are downstairs in the kitchen. Mum is washing up.

Grandma is cooking,and I is ironing ,brother is upstairs. He is tidying his

room.

In the garden uncle is sweeping the path, aunt is helping him sweep.

Grandpa and dad are mending the fence. Dad is digging, sister is washing her

dog.

My Sunday is very busy.

因为参加钢琴比赛是在上海的原因，况且距离苏州也是比的较近，所以就顺便去苏州著名的周庄去玩了一趟。

在比完赛的第二天，我们便来到了周庄。放眼朝里面望去就可以看到小桥流水人家的画面，真像是进入了山水人家!中间有个澄澈无比的小湖，一直顺延到周庄的深处，在湖的中央有一座古桥，两旁的楼房呢，也都是仿古的。随便进一栋楼房，都可以发现，里面所有的物品也都是仿古的，整个周庄都是古色古香。我仿佛一下就穿越了时空，进入了古代。

据当地人的介绍，这里最热闹的节日是春节。

在苏州，春节一大早开门要放三爆竹，叫做“高升三级”。清晨出门，都要遵循黄历上所指定的方向，，这又叫做“喜神方”。并且还要去皇城、土地等庙去烧香，必历经十庙乃至，这面又称为“烧十庙香”。从春节一直到元宵，火炉中烧巨煤，这称作“欢喜团”。

准安人传说，吃汤团可以接财神，所以从大年初一清晨的时候就要开始下汤团，直至元宵节，天天都有汤团吃。妇女们春节的时候剪松柏枝，绕以红丝，戴在发上，据说还可以长寿呢!

这可真是有趣，一般在我们宜昌可都是见不到的。那次有机会呀，可一定在过春节的时期，再去苏州逛逛，玩玩!

[苏州独特的春节小学作文

春节是我们中国的传统节日，每次过春节我都到爷爷奶奶家过，今年也不例外。

我走在大街上，到处都能看到热闹的景象，有许多卖烟花爆竹的小店，我头凑过去一看，上面摆放着许许多多的烟花爆竹，我拿着袋子看看那个烟火装进袋子里，看看这个爆竹装进袋子里，傍晚，我拎着自己精挑细选的烟火爆竹心里有说不出的高兴。

晚上，我和家人们吃过团圆饭后，我看天已经黑了就迫不及待想放自己买的烟花爆竹，我把所有的烟花爆竹拿出来。我放第一个烟火的名字叫笑脸，我把它点燃后，它放出了不同国家小朋友们的笑脸，有黄种人、白人、黑人等等，他们向我和我的家人做着笑脸，好像在祝福我们送去这一年不开心的事情，迎接这新的一年，展望未来，身体健康。把我和家人们逗得哈哈大笑。接着，我又放了一个烟火名字叫火树银花，只见它一团团的火焰簇拥在一起，好像一棵圣诞树上面点点的雪花在夜色的衬托下显得格外美丽。

我看看时钟，马上就到八点了，便坐在床上准备和家人一起收看春晚，其中我印象最深刻的节目是刘谦的魔术，也是我最喜欢的节目。这次他表演的是一块有魔力的镜子，他能把镜子里的咖啡全部喝掉，好像咖啡就在镜子里一样，他能完全走到镜子里的世界，简直太神奇了。然后，我又看了一些歌舞节目，每个都很精彩，百看不厌，不知不觉，12点的钟声敲响了。只听外面的爆竹声此起彼伏，我拿着爆竹也准备出去放，迎接新年的到来。

每一年的新年都十分的开心，但我觉得今年的春节更加特别。

红年

红年，听到这个标题你一定觉得很奇怪，这是什么？当然是开心收红包啦，从大年初一到初八，天天去酒店吃年饭，收到的红包当真不少，收到手都麻了，红包少至五元，多至两百元，这又让我想到去年中秋节打工做月饼，每天才十六元，做得辛辛苦苦还不如现在随人拜年得的多，现在微信还可以发红包，从早到晚我都盯着手机，硬是抢了六十多元，年结束后，红包全给了父母坑了，眼巴巴地看着红包被拿走，一阵眼红啊。

闷年

有时新年真闷，整天呆在家，不是看书就是看电视或玩游戏。闷死了，亲人还不让我自己出去，他们又没时间带我出去走走，可怜书架上的书早就被我得滚瓜烂熟了。唉，真闷啊。

乐年

新年自然少不了去游玩，游玩就快乐了，我们去香港，最让我印像是深刻的还是去买“世界第一曲奇”（很多人都这样说）。不去不知道，一去吓一跳。人真的是多，像是一条蜿蜒盘旋的长龙，分为了七行，每行十个人以上，有一行长达三十多人，真让人目瞪口呆，要知道，现在才八点半，开门时间为八点，才半个小时就有将近一百个人，真夸张。到最后，我们排了一年小时才买到三盒。（本来成年人奶购两盒）只有爸爸一个成年人，我和表弟都是未成年人，如不是苦苦哀求，恐怕只有两盒了呢。

后来，我们又去松山湖玩了一天，我、表妹和他的爸爸去松山湖骑单车，本来我和她你骑得挺轻松的，但我和表妹换了一个座位，导致他爸爸一个人骑三个人，真惨！（因为表妹根本不骑车，还说她你骑得慢。）

时光勿勿，新年很快就过去了，不过它永远留在了我心中。

According to a recent article on Newsweek concerning children’s’ education,

there is an increasing number of parents worrying their kids to an extreme

extent, depriving them of independence and freedom by keeping them around

parents all the time.

Some people applaud this phenomenon, suggesting that kids’ safety is the

most important. Thus, they’d better not enter the hazardous society without

supervision unless they become adults. From my point of view, some of their

opinion is correct but keeping children away from independence is a completely

erroneous decision. The reasons are as follows:

First and foremost, “locking kids” may hinder their healthy growth, both

mentally and physically. The kids who are locked may have heavy reliance on

their parents, as their comprehensive skills such as communication skills or

cooperative spirit being prevented from developing.

Secondly, what these parents fail to see is the fact that the crime rate

and accidents aren’t on a rapid rise. It is the abuse of mass media that make

crimes and violence more scary. The parents, who love their kids so much, are

completely forced to live under the illusion that our society is full of riots

or threats of accidents. Thus, kids can be allowed to have more freedom such as

walking to school by himself, for instance.

From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that

kids should be given more freedom by parents’ effort. At the same time, parents

should take many factors into consideration such as the time restriction for

children and the evaluation to kids’ maturity and capability. Only then can they

enjoy a safe and meaningful childhood.

The Chinese Spring Festival comes on the first day of the Chinese Lunar Year, which is usually in February. There is a name for each year, such as the dog, the monkey, the tiger or one of the twelve animals, and this year is the year of the horse.

Before the New Year’s Day, the Chinese people usually give their houses a good cleaning and on the last evening of the old year, all the members of a family will get together and have a big meal. On the first or second day of the new year, people usually go to visit their relatives and friends and give some lucky money to children.

I wish you have a good time during the Spring Festival.

中国的春节是在中国农历的第一天，通常是在二月。每年都有一个名字，比如狗、猴子、老虎或十二生肖中的一种，今年是马年。

在新年到来之前，中国人通常会给他们的房子做个大扫除，在旧年的最后一个晚上，所有的家庭成员都会聚在一起吃一顿大餐。在新年的第一天或第二天，人们通常会去拜访亲戚朋友，给孩子们一些幸运的钱。

祝你在春节期间过得愉快。

When I was in grade four in primary school, my father taught me how to use

computer. After that, I was very interested in playing computer. I watched

movies, played computer games, searched the Internet and listened to the music

on computer. Because my father must work in his computer, so he bought another

for me. I was very happy that I had my own computer. It was put in the study. I

am always very careful to use my computer, because I am worried I would break. I

often chat with my net friends. Because of my computer, I make many friends who

have many in common. Of course, I use my computer in study. There are resources

on the Internet. I can learn more after class. It does great help to me.
