+ 加入清单With the progress of the times, we have made a great change in China, and the night dinner is a good witness.
The words at the end of twentieth Century, on every new years Eve every family all at home with a big "blessing" word, in a small square table placed on delicious food, a family of three sat at the table, eating reeky meals, laughing and talking. "Its another year, Im going to be a year old again!" One wearing glasses, wearing a white tunic grandfather holding a cigarette said with a smile. The opposite wearing flower jacket grandmother holding chopsticks, answered: "yes, my son grow up, we are old." "Dad, mom, you are still young, not so fast..." After only listening to a young man in a black suit, the two old men laughed. Dont look at this years night meal simple, simple, in fact it is very warm. This is a warm years dinner.
The evening meal in the early twenty-first Century was quite different from that in the past. This time they came to the hotel, and hotel, there is a lively scene. Look, a bright ribbon hanging on the wall, a large "Fu" word in the middle. A pair of couplets is especially attractive: Happy Spring Festival and auspicious new year. Hengpi: good luck in everything. Look at the table again, and the delicacy is full of the table. Two men, the father and son, sit at the round table and raise their glasses. The son says, "Dad, Ill give you a cup and wish you health." Dad laughed and said, "good, good." After talking about his neck, he drank the wine at one breath, and the son drank the glass too. The wife holds the little baby in the middle of the sleep. Look, the little guy is asleep in her mothers arms. My mother stood beside my father, smiled and said: "Oh, today is really happy ah!" Oh, this is a happy dinner.
Todays night dinner is simply not the same as before. Son drove white to "fly", carrying on elderly parents, wife and children have grown up, smiling. The son said, "Dad, mom, now living conditions are good, high technology everywhere." Mom and dad nodded frequently and said, "yes, yes!" Under the "flying number", it is a high building with different shapes, triangular and rectangular shapes. Oh, this is a high tech years dinner.
The day and night, the better and better, reflects the change of our China and wishes China more prosperity and prosperity.

My personality is: considerate caring, generous, gentle personality perfectionism, rich imagination, sometimes very lively, with strong tolerance, sensitive love fantasy, not too confident, but dont be sentimental, reject, thought of two minds, very complex. But these are the students comments on me. I think my biggest problem is the love of two minds, take the last math exam for example: I had the score 100 points, because I be negligent, so a path of two minds, wrong, I will deduct 1 points, only 99 points, but I was careless, I think: anyway, I not like the 2 grade exam Eighty-nine points, on the line, I also got 10 points!
This is me. Do you think Im cute?

篇20:介绍屈原的英语作文
全文共 2579 字
+ 加入清单One explanation is that the Duanwu Festival originated from people’s worship of dragons. In ancient China, people believed the dragon was the god in charge of water, which was vitally important to daily life and agricultural production. On the day of Duanwu, people raced dragon boats to entertain the god and offered him Zongzi as a treat. The sole purpose was to please the god to ensure a year of favorable weather.
Some people believe Duanwu comes from activities instigated by ancient sorcerers. These activities were held in early summer when the hot weather was about to bring diseases to people who didn’t have modern devices and medicines to protect themselves. So, ancient sorcerers encouraged people to wear fragrant pouches and hang mugwort and calamus on their doors to drive away the so-called evil spirits that caused diseases.
Scholars may provide many other explanations about the origin of the Duanwu Festival. But if you ask ordinary people about its origin, you’ll get the same answer. They will tell you that the Duanwu Festival honors the great poet, Qu Yuan. They’ll also tell you the story that has been passed down for more than 2,000 years.
Qu Yuan was born in 340 BC, during the Warring States Period. At that time, there were seven states struggling among themselves to unify China. Of the seven states, Qin was the strongest and Chu the largest.
Qu Yuan was a noble of Chu. During his lifetime, the powerful kingdom of Chu fell into a decline.
Early in his life, Qu Yuan won the confidence of the King of Chu, and was his deputy prime minister, helping draft laws and determine foreign-policy. When he saw the danger posed by the ambitious Qin State, he proposed government reforms and an alliance with the neighboring Qi state as a way to ensure Chu’s safety.
But the King of Chu was surrounded by self-seekers, who were jealous of Qu Yuan. They accepted bribes from the Qin’s envoy, dissuaded the King from taking Qu Yuan’s advice and brought about the poet’s estrangement from the King. Qu Yuan was finally sent into exile for 20 years.
During those desperate years, Qu Yuan helplessly watched his beloved country become weaker every day. In the year 278 BC, the capital of Chu was stormed by troops from Qin. In great pain, Qu Yuan wrote “Lisao” or “The Lament”, the greatest of all his poems. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, he drowned himself in the Milo River, because he was hopeless about his country’s future.
Qu Yuan died thousands of years ago, but he is remembered every year for his love of and loyalty to his country and his people.
