New Year Party

On New Years Eve，our class had a party. The atmosphere was good. It was out of the ordinary from the very begining. The boy student from one bedroom gave an unusual performance. We saw a boy named Li Xinmin turn off all the lights in a sudden snap. Then with three resounding（响亮的） crow of a cock echoing in the hall，the hall was again brightly lit in a snap.

Then，the representative of the bedroom Zhu Guozhang asked us to guess a line of a poem related to the above situation. He added that Li Xinmin alone was born in the year of the dog and the other three were all born in the year of the chicken. They left us all in confusion. And it was our monitor who was quickwitted（机智的）. He shouted our， "The day breaks as the cock crows three times at dawn." The hall After that，they had another item. This time Li Xinmin was placed in the middle of the circle. While he was standing there，the other three stood around him，each bowing down to him at an angle of 120 degrees. It was an idiom. This time I got it right："The dog stands out among a group of chickens."

我国有许多传统节日，比如元宵节，重阳节，端午节。但最盛大隆重的节日莫过于春节了。

There are many traditional festivals in our country, such as the Lantern Festival, the heavy Sun Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival. But the most grand festival is the Spring Festival.

中国的春节，已经有四千多年的历史了，起初不叫春节，到了公元前两千一百多年，当时，人们以木星运动一周的时间为一岁，就把春节叫“岁”。公元前一千年，人们以年来表示。

China Spring Festival, has a history of over four thousand years, initially not called the Spring Festival, in more than 2100 BC, at that time, people with Jupiter movement a week for a year, the Spring Festival is called "old". In one thousand B.C., people were expressed in years.

北方人过春节和南方有很大的不同，北方晚上要包饺子，吃饺子，在百十个饺子里，有一个饺子放有硬币，吃到它的人，一年诸事顺利。南方除了要贴春联外，还要在门外搁两圈贴红纸的甘蔗，寓意进入佳境。

People in the north and south of the Spring Festival is very different to the dumplings, eating dumplings dumplings in North night, 100, there is a dumpling with the coin, the person who eats it, a well. In addition to the southern spring festival couplets, but also put two ring paste red paper cane in the door, meaning into something.

我最喜欢过春节了，一到春节，就能穿上新衣服，拿红包。除夕早上，我和爸爸一起贴春联，贴完后，又开始贴“福”字，只见爸爸把“福”倒着贴在了墙上，我问：“爸爸，为什么“福”要倒着贴呢？爸爸笑着回答：“这意思就表示福倒（到）。”我又拿了一张“财”字，正要倒着贴，爸爸说：“财到不就财倒了吗？所以要横着贴，意思就是发横财。”我若有所思地点点头。

I like the Spring Festival the most. In the Spring Festival, I can put on new clothes and take the red bag. On the eve of new years Eve, I put up a spring festival couplet with my dad. After finishing it, I began to paste the word "Fu". I saw my father sticking Fu on the wall. I asked, "Daddy, why is" Fu "stuck instead? Dad smiled and replied, "this means blessing." I also took a "money" word, just to fall on, dad said: "is not money to the money? So was posted, meaning that windfall." I thought and nodded.

晚上，我和爸爸妈妈一边吃着香喷喷的火锅，一边看着春晚，真是一件大好事啊！到了深夜十二点，四周围仿佛炸开了锅，烟花有的像一颗“炮弹”，突然，分解成无数的小“炮弹”，紧接着，小“炮弹”又绽开了“花儿”。还有的烟花像流星一样划过天空，又变成了一个个小小点分散了，消失了。热闹的声音传遍了整个同安……

In the evening, my father and mother and I eat a fragrant hot pot while watching the Spring Festival Gala. It is really a great thing. At twelve oclock at night, it seemed as if the surrounding area had exploded. Some fireworks were like a "shell". Suddenly, they broke into numerous small shells. Then, the small shells exploded again. The fireworks, like meteors, crossed the sky, and they became small and scattered, and disappeared. The noisy sound spread all over the same peace...

我喜欢过春节！

I like the Spring Festival!

The day after tomorrow is the Spring Festival, due to special reasons, so early to eat dinner. Went back to my home, see three uncles and three aunt in the door, and a lock by an iron chain dog, called Daniel, it saw me would shake up the tail, standing on two feet, then put two small steak in my hand and play with me.

Time to eat dinner, think of my mother used to say to me: when you eat to concentrate on eating, looked at the bowl, saying the words, not to say not. Or a chopstick in the brush to my head, so I eat dinner did not dare to talk nonsense, afraid to say the wrong thing. "Today I go to eat dinner, three uncles and three aunts to toast." My mother whispered to me, Carter, I picked up my cup to drink Sprite, poured a generous measure after I first and I sat around two and then to three aunt, aunt and aunt, just three aunt aunt Jing, and shouted: "you how do you tell me why the toast toast? According to the order you understand?" of course understand, who told you to sit farther than me, in order to prove that I understand, I first respect the great uncle, "uncle, I wish you good health, good luck in everything." "Oh, good, I wish you learning progress, the longer and fatter, see you thin and skeleton like."

Then the two uncle, the three uncle and the grandfather were toasted in order. My grandfathers wine has not finished, the aunt began to shout, "you are wrong again, should first give grandpa toast, do not know?"

Behind my grandfathers house is a academy built by three uncles, called Yun Shen Academy. Deep in the cloud academy gate is three uncles son sun Shilin written in traditional characters from the clouds on the antithetical couplet, fly, even to the Yangtze River. The second line is far deeper, the earth since the song in the future. "You go and sweep the street of the Academy, and when the guests come, Ill buy some things." The three uncle said to me and sun Shi Lins brother in poor standard Mandarin. Dont know where the kids when we try to sweep, we should not make trouble, mother put him away, that we have to re scan.

After that evening, I and sun Shi Lin took the fireworks to the Academy. They put the racing fireworks first, and when I heard the name, I wanted to put it. I lit the lead wire, but I saw it smoke strong smoke and then rushed to the wall. Then grandpa brought a box of good day card chongtianbao, seems to be inferior products, black fireworks, a banger a squib,

A banger a squib...... Finally put the small rockets, color chrysanthemum, Sirius UFO, bee fireworks etc..

The Spring Festival had turned up in the shells period the sacrifices of the tail and head of the ancestor worship god. The ancient New Year said: "ganjitsu", "New Years day". After the revolution, name the Spring Festival is to get the new day.

As for Beijing area, from households to the day bubble laba vinegar (garlic), began to have "the festival atmosphere. Folk: "the old lady dont upset, laba is years. Laba rice porridge, drink a few days? 23 scattered..." , the twelfth month is also called the "off-year". There is a song sings: "TangGua people, New Years day comes, wench, it take the kid to cannon..." . Since the day from Beijing with more work, people, sweep the house, steamed bread, buy necessities and stick "f" word, stick New Year pictures, cut grilles, stick couplets. Post hanging door gods, money, has been busy until New Years eve, began to holidays.

Beijing family reunion dinner on New Years eve night (also known as the family reunion dinner) is essential, is also one of the most abundant dinner all the year round. The years one of the New Years eve dinner to element together. LengHun, bulky and lightening. LengHun have cold stewed pork, mutton, cold stewed chicken and ducks. Major: braise in soy sauce meat, pork with rice flour meat, red and white balls, four balls. Lightening dishes are usually ten tofu, vegetables, pickles bergamot, etc. Staple food is given priority to with element of sleeping more.

Beijing New Years eve and the first day to eat dumplings, from the meaning of the "more old hand". Also always wrapped dumplings ChengYuanBao form, into the sugar in the dumplings, copper, peanut, jujube, chestnut, etc. Like to eat sugar, means that in the future life sweet; Eat to copper means rich flower; To eat peanut means longevity, for peanuts and peanut, be so called peanut.enrich to eat jujube and chestnut means early set son...

The custom of Spring Festival in Beijing really interesting!

春节原起于殷商时期年头岁尾的祭神祭祖活动。古代的春节称：“元日”、“元旦”。辛亥革命后，才把正月初一正式定名为春节。

就北京地区来说，从腊月初八家家户户要泡腊八醋(蒜)，就开始有了“年味”。民谣讲：“老太太别心烦，过了腊八就是年。腊八粥，喝几天?哩哩啦啦二十三……”，腊月二十三又称“小年”。有一首歌谣唱道：“糖瓜祭灶，新年来到，丫头要花，小子要炮……”。从这一天开始，北京人更加忙活了，要祭灶，扫房子，蒸馒头，置办年货，贴“福”字，贴年画，剪窗花，贴对联。贴门神，贴挂钱，一直忙活到除夕，开始过大年。

北京人除夕晚上的年夜饭(又称团圆饭)是必不可少的，也是全年最丰盛的一次晚餐。除夕的年嬉饭要荤素一起上。有冷荤、大件和清口菜。冷荤有冷炖猪、羊肉、冷炖鸡、鸭。大件有：红烧肉、扣肉、米粉肉、红白丸子，四喜丸子。清口菜一般都是豆腐、青菜、罗十、咸菜佛手等。主食多以荤素睡觉为主。

北京人除夕和正月初一都要吃饺子，取其“更岁交子之义“。还总是把饺子包成元宝形，在饺子中放进糖、铜钱、花生、枣、栗子等。如吃到糖的，意味着日后生活甜蜜;吃到铜钱意味着有钱花;吃到花生意味着长寿，因花生又名长生果，吃到枣和栗子的意味着早立子……

北京春节的习俗真有趣!

Today is the beginning of first, I told my cousin went to the big red flag in the town of Villa Zhuo watched a wonderful "Spring Festival acrobatics extravaganza." After we came to find a place performing acrobatics, find a place to sit, then waited patiently show began.

The first program, the small monkey riding old goat rope walk. I saw the old goat monkey carrying a small step by step down the rope, hey, before. Really amazing ah! The next program more exciting! For example: a tightrope, tigers jump through hoops, lions and tigers slide across the beautiful swing, bears do sports, air swing ...... and so this "Spring Festival acrobatic extravaganza," the protagonist is mainly animals.

This "Spring Festival acrobatics show" really meaningful ah!

In china, spring festival ione of the most important festivals. it ialso getting more and more popular in some foreign countries. when spring festival comes, it meanthat a new year comes, and people grow a year older. during the festival, it ivercrowded throughout the country.

all the people throughout the world pamuch attention to it. our countrof course holdsome national celebrationto celebrate it. thimost traditional festival in china will go on being celebrated in the future.

Spring Festivals Eve is the last night in the last month of lunar calendar next to Spring Festival Day，the First Day of New Year. Chuxi，the Chinese name of Spring Festivals Eve，means the old year past and we will greet the new by the turn of year. During all festival，the activities or celebrations focus on praying for Good Fortunes and getting rid of Bad Fortunes.

In ancient Chinas Zhou and Qin Dynasty，when it came to Lunar New Year，Royal Palace would have a ritual named Danuo，to drive away ghost and bad luck of illness and disaster，it was also called "Zhuchu(to drive away)". People called the day before Spring Festivals Eve Before-Years Night，so the Spring Festivals Eve constantly is Years Night.

The Spring Festivals Eve is a most lingered night. In this warm eve，when night coming，youngsters handle a stick of incense(香)to ignite(点燃) the firecrackers，a child plugs up his ear by one hand and leans to ignite the fireworks by another，other children cover their ears aside to wait fireworks happy bang impatiently. Although some senior citizens are old， they still could remember what a beautiful spring festival they had in their childhood.

To have a family super，make sacrifice and stay up a whole night for greeting new years coming are the main three activities in the Spring Festival Eve.

When it comes to success, different people have different opinions about what makes it come true. Some people regard hard-working as an essential quality to success while others believe being clever would lead to success. From my point of view, I think perseverance and hard-working are indispensable for those who want to make an achieveme

谈到成功时，对于实现成功的原因不同的人有不同的看法。有些人认为勤奋是成功必备的素质，而另一些人则相信聪明人会实现成功。从我的角度来看，我认为毅力和勤奋对于那些想要成功的人是必不可少的。

Firstly, perseverance let people step closely towards success. Most people want to make a big difference to prove their value. People who set their goal and keep moving would make their dream come true. However, there are some people who set their goal but they stop at the difficulty would fail in the end. I think the difference between success and failure is perseverance. If we have perseverance, even if we are not clever, we will make a great difference, but if we not, we are doomed to lose. As we all know, Edison is a great inventor in the world. However, before he invented the bulb, he kept trying for tens of thousands of times to find a suitable wire. Let us imagine, if he gave up at the 999th, then how he couldn’t become so successful. So, I strongly believe that perseverance produces success.

首先，毅力让人离成功越来越近。大多数人都想用不同的方式证明自己的价值。设定自己的目标，向着目标走，就可以使梦想成真了。然而，有些人设立了目标，却在困难面前妥协了将以失败告终。我认为成功与失败之间的差别是毅力。如果我们有毅力，即使我们不聪明，我们也会有很大的不同，但是如果我们没有毅力，我们注定是要失败的。我们都知道，爱迪生是一位伟大的发明家。但是，在他发明电灯泡前，他试了为数千次去找一个合适的线。让我们想象一下，如果他在第九百九十九次放弃了，那么他就不可能变得如此成功。因此，我强烈认为，坚持就会成功。

Secondly, there is also a kind of people who are born with cleverness, I think they are lucky. Nevertheless, if they don’t make a hard work on their way to their goal, they, absolutely, will become loser. Whether we are gifted for intelligent, we must be hard-working so as to success. I regard hard-working as an efficient approach to be successful because I believe ‘pains and gains’. As for those who do not make great efforts on work, failure follows. In old times, there is a clever boy who can make excellent poem when he can talk. When his father found the little child’s cleverness, he just let the child make poems to show around while never let the boy learned anything. When the boy grew up, people forgot him because he lost the ability Secondly, there is also a kind of people who are born with cleverness, I think they are lucky.

Nevertheless, if they don’t make a hard work on their way to their goal, they, absolutely, will become loser. Whether we are gifted for intelligent, we must be hard-working so as to success. I regard hard-working as an efficient approach to be successful because I believe ‘pains and gains’. As for those who do not make great efforts on work, failure follows. In old times, there is a clever boy who can make excellent poem when he can talk. When his father found the little child’s cleverness, he just let the child make poems to show around while never let the boy learned anything. When the boy grew up, people forgot him because he lost the ability

其次，还有一种人是天生聪明的，他们是幸运的。然而，如果他们没有在实现目标之前努力工作，他们当然也会成为失败者。无论我们是否有天资，我们都应该努力工作以获得成功。我认为勤奋是成功的一个有效的方法，因为我相信的“付出和收获”。对于那些不努力工作的人最后是失败的了。在古代，有一个聪明的男孩，在他能说话的时候就可以作优秀的诗歌。当他的父亲发现他孩子的聪明时，他只是让孩子到处作诗歌来炫耀，却从不让他儿子学习别的知识。孩子长大后，人们把他遗忘了，因为他失去了创作能力，成为了普通人。从这件事中，我们可以看到，只有通过努力工作才能获得知识，拥有一个好的 Anyway, I think perseverance and hard-working are both important in our way to success for they enhance us and produce success

不管怎么样，我觉得毅力和勤奋在成功路上都是很重要的，因为他们提升我们并获得成功。

The next morning, people don’t eat meat. Instead, they have vegetable dish. And then, adults will visit their friends and relatives with their children. It’s a good job for children because they can get more lucky money to buy things they like.

Today is an annual Chinese New Year, the first day of the new year,the traditional festival of China.At this day, everyone has a happy reunion , the families round together to eat regiment rice for year, is really a happy affair.Say for us, this festival is very happy, having a lot of delicious outside, can also take New Years Money to buy the thing that oneself wants to buy for a long time.

今天是一年一度的春节，也就是新年的第一天，中国的传统节日。在这一天，大家欢聚一堂，一家人围在一起吃团年饭，真是一件幸福的事情。对于我们来说，这一个节日是十分快乐的，有很多好吃的之外，还可以拿压岁钱去买自己很久想买的东西。

in china,the spring festivai is a special day.because it leave peoples hopes.the spring festival is the first month by lunar calendar and the beginning of new year.on spring festival eve,people can special purchase for the spring festival ,do spring festival shopping,light fireworks and paper cuts .on spring festival,children dress new clothes and eat delicious food ,they can put the smork flower.on the eveving ,people eat dumplings and watch post spring festival couplets.on the beginning of new year,children go to pay new years call and get gift money people wishes their relativas happy.for example"wishing you prosperity ,everything is well,wishing youevery susses".lets happy lunar new yea.

Life is full of hope, I am most looking forward to the Spring Festival. As the growth of the age, the reason why I look forward to the Spring Festival is also changed.

When I was babble, looking forward to the Spring Festival because the Spring Festival in many adults to visit, they will be praised me when they saw me grow very cute, let my heart fruity.

After kindergarten, I begin to love to play. So I look forward to the Spring Festival is to play with friends. We set off firecrackers, clay, hide and seek, wreaths...

In elementary school, I know that money can buy, buy books, stationery, buy groceries, you can also save with university, this is the reason why I look forward to the Spring Festival.

Now, I enjoy the beautiful scenery. Looking forward to the Spring Festival reason again in the Spring Festival, the spring is coming. Spring is a green world, a world full of. Flowers, warbler dancing butterflies fly, grass spring peach bright, this is the characteristics of the spring. Spring breeze blowing, it was the angel of voice, with all sorts of color of paint, dye red the gills of the peach blossom, white pear flower face, stained from the winter jasmine pigtails. It also blew the cx, green branches, blue sky, blowing and a smile on the surface of the lake. Float to the spring rain, it is a thread in the hands of a voice, a glimmer, embroidered with a piece of green. Schools of thought contend, flowers, birds, the beautiful spring, snow and ice melt. The ancients said, "people in the picture", it is exactly.

I am happy because my father and my mother could spend more time with me during the Spring Festival.Besides,on the eve of the Spring Festival,we had a great family reunion dinner and then we watched Spring Festival Party on CCTV1.Sometimes,I reviewed my lessons.I had a very wonderful holiday.

译文：

我很高兴因为春节期间我的爸爸和妈妈能够花更多时间和我在一起.而且,在新年前夕,我们一家吃了团圆饭,然后我们看中央电视一台的春节联欢晚会.有时,我复习功课.我度过了一个非常愉快的假期.

The  new year, a new start, when I stand on the edge of a new year, I cant help thinking about my plan of next year.

Just as the old saying：“Well began is the half of the success.”So I decide that I should be at work while the others are still relaxing ，and then, at the beginning, Im quicker than the others and of course I will get better result than the others.

But, what I really decide to do is that I must make good of anytime I can spare though it seems impossible. While, I will do my best to live up with what I have planned, and the result will prove it.

新的一年，新的开始，当我站在新年的边缘时，我禁不住想起我明年的计划。

正如俗话所说：“好的开始是成功的一半”，所以我决定我应该在工作，而其他人仍然放松，然后，在开始的时候，我比其他人更快，当然我会得到比其他人更好的结果。

但是，我真正决定要做的是，无论何时何地我都要好好利用，尽管这似乎是不可能的。同时，我会尽我最大的努力实现我的计划，结果将证明这一点。

The annual lunar month, usually around the beginning of spring, so people called it a day as the Spring Festival, commonly known as the lunar year. Spring has come, it means that spring will come, it means a new round of planting, which means we have to grow up a year old, which means that the earth is recovery.

Spring arrived, the rich family every household paste couplets, red lanterns hung up. People usually want to paste blessing, we must stick backwards, it referred to the blessing. Some people posted pictures on the wall; some ingenuity of man to cut the grilles ...... Spring Festival, the household must firecrackers, crackling sounds come and go, people began the old and welcome ...... legend, this is a man of very Geely, one on the trees in depressed, not raw herbs; in one over on all things grow, flowers everywhere, in the end how to do this years off?

I like spring festival because we are very happy on that day.Last festival we had a good time and I will never forget it.In the morning all my family were busy preparing for it.I helped to clean the house and my parents were cooking some delicious food.On that afternoon we had a big dinner.At night we made jiaozi and set off fireworks to celebrate the festival.In the meanwhile we watched TV.My parents gave me much lucky money.The next morning we said happy new year to everybody from door to door.

The Spring Festival is here, and the couplet is also attached to the couplet. Today, we have a couplet together. I saw my dad playing the couplet as if they were fun, so I had a quarrel to stick. Dad said to me, "the couplets should be posted right, and they are all grown up. What do children stick to?"

At this time, I saw my father put the Fu paste back, I said, "Dad, the Fu sticker is opposite!" Dad said, "come over to represent the meaning of Blessing, do you understand?" "Oh, I have learned new knowledge." And I also know the last word on the one or two, the last word is to distinguish between the upper and lower three or four. On the face on the right, lower left attached to the knowledge. Im so happy!

At this time, the sound of the outside of the sound of firecrackers ringing, but I do not feel hard to hear. It may be that the joy of learning new knowledge is better than the unpleasant sound of a firecracker. So it wont be hard to hear.

Look at the red couplets, listening to the sound of fireworks, "good" thinking, learn the new knowledge of the great joy.

The old man, how I want you to stay in this nice firecracker! Even for a moment, it is also beautiful, and it makes me feel endless.

Because only once a year, the new year, the scene is so nostalgic!

Chinese New Year is coming soon. I am very happy! I can put on my new clothes. We can get a lot of lucky money. We can eat a big dinner. We can do many interesting things. I expect Chinese New Year coming.

From then on, the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on  from generation to generation. The term "Guo Nian", which may mean "Survive the  Nian" becomes today "Celebrate the (New) Year" as the word "guo" in Chinese  having both the meaning of "pass-over" and "observe". The custom of putting up  red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian should it have a chance to  run loose is still around. However, people today have long forgotten why they  are doing all this, except that they feel the color and the sound add to the  excitement of the celebration.

Chinese New Year is the most important festival in China. Before the Spring Festival People clean their houses，put red couplets on their gates，and set off firecrackers to drive away the legendary monster “Nian”.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, families get together and have a big dinner. Dumplings are the most traditional food.

The Spring Festival lasts about 15 days long .People visit relatives and friends with the words “Happy new year”. People enjoy the Spring Festival, during this time they can have a good rest.

Children like the festival very much, because they can have delicious food and wear new clothes .They can also get some money from their elders. This money is given to children for good luck.
