There he sat, staring out the window with his dazed eyes. His face is almost like a scrunched piece of pa-pe-r with wrinkles carved deep into his skin. His caving mouth can hardly close nowadays and there is often a trickle of saliva wandering aimlessly down the side of his chin.Strands of thin, grey hair crawls messily over his almost bald head.And the once deep blue eyes are now covered with a layer of opaque white.What he sees is no longer clear, but they are all the same beautiful. The blurred window sills and the distance skyscrapers,all present him with a new beauty that he never appreciated when he was young.Age is cruel.However, what to the outside world may seem like an old man in despair is to him only a way of peaceful life.

This form displays the result of a survey on how to spend students’ weekend. It says that few students are glued to their schoolwork any more. Instead, they prefer to surf on the internet, watch TV, go shopping rather than involve in sports games. Library and interest groups are available but not favourable.

Personally I think, students are now freed from heavy burden but their spare time is not well arranged. They are expected to spend some time on what they learn instead of hanging out. More time should be spent not only on green field but also in the libraries to build up themselves physically and mentally. Besides, more interest groups should be established for students to widen their horizon and sharpen their brains so that they can become more creative eventually. All these will contributes a lot to a well-informed and highly qualified teenager.

In conclusion, students should be more scheduled with colorful and fruitful activities.

Home of the most round moon, home of the most tea, home of the most alcohol, home food, the most impressive.

I was a Hakka. I left my hometown Meizhou from my childhood. I followed my parents to this strange land and opened up our new home. As I grew up in this new environment, the impression of my hometown was gradually blurred. But in my mind, it cant forget the hometown dish of my childhood taste buds.

Many home dishes are famous far and near, and those special flavors have attracted a lot of people. One of the most famous dishes is "Mei Cai Braised Pork", my dad is a generation old Hakka love. Although it sounds like this dish seems to be difficult to get in good taste, but this dish is representative of Hakka peoples diligence and frugality quality.

My father said, "our hometown is Mei Mei Cai Braised Pork" single dishes there are many complicated steps. When the farming harvest, the farmers harvest the mustard, then put it in the sun to matured, and then take the food to the ground, arrange it, and sprinkle a lot of salt on it. According to my father, when they were young, they were trampling the dishes with clean feet after the salt was sprinkled. After the tread, put it in a vessel to a degree, then take the steam, then take the sun... So the three steamed three sun, the earthly plum dried vegetables!

"Mei Cai Braised Pork" another character is meat, meat to choose "pork fat pork". Making this dish, put the Mei food dry cleaning, cut thin pieces, the fat basin under the streaky pork belly pieces, Mei dish, steamed for a long time, fat oil seeping into the plum dried vegetables, plum dried vegetables fragrance dipped into fat, opened a pot. Hot, delicious food Braised Pork pan mei! A pot of delicious food Braised Pork Mei can eat for a long time, because the salty, not perishable. A small pinch to the bowl, the fragrance of the four spilled, can pick up a few rice, that taste, to taste to understand. Such a dish reflects the diligence and frugality of the Hakka people, which is the favorite of the Hakka people.

When I heard my Dad talking about his hometown dishes, dad was fun, innocent, and rich in homesickness. In my fathers age, and cant eat "Mei Cai Braised Pork", to wait until the new year will kill pigs, so have a good heart is also waiting for Spring Festival to eat.

In my opinion, McDonalds and Kentucky fast food are far more infatuated than this dish. Maybe it is because I have not experienced the father of that era, cannot understand a dish not easily won; perhaps because there is no contact with the home, can not understand the charm of home cooking; perhaps because now no children of that age as difficult as father, do not know how precious home cooking. But from my fathers love for home food, I read the charm of my hometown cuisine, and I also fell in love with home food.

Home of the most round moon, home of the most tea, home wine is the most alcohol, home food is the most lingering.

Beijing is an ancient city with a long history. Back in 3000 years ago in Zhou dynasty, Beijing, which was called Ji at the moment, had been named capital of Yan. Thereafter, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasty all made Beijing their capital. Therefore, Beijing was famous for "Capital of a thousand years".

The long history leaves Beijing precious cultural treasure. Winding for several kilometers in Beijing area, the Great Wall is the only man-made structure that could been seen in the space. The Summer Palace is a classic composition of ancient royal gardens, and the Forbidden City is the largest royal palaces in the world. Tiantan is where the emperor used to fete their ancestors, and also the soul of Chinese ancient constructions. The four sites above has been confirmed world cultural heritage by UNESCO. However, the best representatives for Beijing are the vanishing Hutongs and square courtyards. Through hundreds of years, they have become symbol of Beijings life. Tiananmen square being still brilliant today with cloverleaf junctions and skyscrapers everywhere, the old-timey scene and modern culture are combined to present a brand new visage of Beijing.

As Beijing has been confirmed home city of Olympics 2008, the spirit of "green Olympics, scientific Olympics and humanized Olympic" will surely bring more and more changes to Beijing, promote the development of sports and Olympics in China as well as in the world, and strengthen the friendly communications between Chinese and foreign people.

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。
