我的春节假期英语手抄报【汇集20篇】

The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is a day when Chinese people get together for sharing happiness.

The Spring Festival falls on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month,often one month later than the Gregorian calendar.At Spring Festival Eve,all the family members eat dinner together.After the dinner,the whole family will sit together,chatting and watching TV.In the past,we often just watch the Spring Festival party broadcasted on China Central Television Station (CCTV).But nowadays ,less and less people watch it but play cards or mahjong.

Burning fireworks was once the most typical custom on the Spring Festival.People thought the spluttering sound could help drive away evil spirits.However,such an activity was completely or partially forbidden in big cities once the government took security,noise and pollution factors into consideration.

Spring Festival is my favorite festival，what bout your favorite festival？

the lunar new year is a great occasion to the chinese people. it lasts about the first four days of the year， during which people do not work except for the workers on duty. students do not go to school， and shops are closed.

several days before the new year， people begin to prepare. farmers kill pigs， sheep， cocks and hens. city dwellers buy meat fish and vegetables. houses are cleaned; coupletsare posted on the doors. colourful lanterns are hung at the gate.

on the eve of the new year， each family has its members gatherd together and eats a family reunion dinner. after the meal they watch tv until the clock strickes twelve. then every family sets off long strings of small firecrackers and other fire works to welcome the new year. on the first day of the new year， almost everyone is dressed in his or her best. when people meet on the way， they say to each other "happy new year". friends and relatives pay new year calls and gives presents to each other. children indulge themselves in games.

Spring Festival

Chinese New Year starts with the new moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the the full days later. In china,people regard Spring Festival as the most important thing.People studied and worked throughout the year.No matter how far and how busy, they must do their best to go back home.Thats a tradition and now becoming a habit. During this time,transport is extremely busy.Although the way is difficult,it cant reduce the urgent feeling of going home.I cant describe this feeling,only the people that experienced it can understand.Actually,on one hand,people miss their family,and they need to get comfort in the family.On the other hand,getting together is a symbol of blessedness and auspiciousness.People in other country dont have this consciousness that going home is necessary.For example,American could celebrate the Christmas in everywhere they like or with anybody.This diversity is occasioned by different culture between two countries.

On Spring festivals eve,the whole family prepare the dinner.Of course,dumplings is essential.In the

evening,family members always sit at the television and watch Spring Festival Gala.At 0:00,people set off firecrackers and fireworks,at the same time,children pay New Year,s call to old people.The old people give money to the children as a lunar new year gift.Usually,people stay up late or all night.

On lunar New Years Day, the Chinese family eat vegetarian dumplings which imply they will plain and neat in this year. People change their new clothes,this stands for a new beginning.Next,people visit relatives with some gifts.The second day is son-in-laws festival,the husband and married women visit their side of the family.In a word,Chinese attach great importance to Spring Festival.

Since the Spring Festival Gala on CCTV was established in the 1980s, it has been confirmed to be a huge success by attracting most audience in China. On the Eve of the Spring Festival, numerous Chinese will sit in front of the television screens looking forward to enjoy the annual celebration.

In modern China, watching the gala is still a traditional way to celebrate Chinese lunar New Year. However, the Gala seems to be suffering from declining rates of audience over the past few years. Actually, the Gala is never the only option any more when competing with several local televisions, which provide better possible choices. In addition, it is criticized that the traditional items of the Gala fail to appeal to people’s changing appetite, particularly the younger generation. Although the famous stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan are highly expected to add some freshness and modern elements to the performance, the Gala are still somewhat disappointing, far away from splendid. Consequently, the Gala is advocated to be cancelled due to its declination of reputation as well as the stereotyped content.

From my point of view, the Spring Festival Gala on CCTV should be still reserved because it is really good at creating a very colorful holiday atmosphere. Besides, it does have at least one or two excellent performance every year some of which become indelible memories. If the Gala can be redesigned to enrich its performance further, it will get away from being mediocre. But it is unnecessary to expect achieving its previous success. After all, the time has changed.

Spring knowledge after dinner, I am holding her mothers hand, looking up at the sky, " Wow, so beautiful! " I looked at the sky and resplendent with variegated coloration fireworks, can not help stunned.

In the evening, each and every family all put up the fireworks, our family is no exception. Dad bought firecrackers from the street shops, fluorescence stick ... .... It was dark, I asked Dad put. Dad took the lighter, lit the fuse, set off firecrackers. " Crackling " sound of loud sound of firecrackers into my ears, I hastened to cover your ears. For a while, firecrackers finished, I took out my fluorescence stick, lit with a lighter, waved play. The fluorescence rod traces, like a meteor across the sky, lit up my heart.

We see so busy, sister also laicourenao. She picked up a fireworks lit, suddenly, from the triangle holes popped out of pure white, pure fireworks, it is like the fountain to upwelling, more more more more spray spray, high. Not a little while, there are more than one and a half high, good a fireworks! This pure fireworks like the water of the Milky way, dont mention it.

Uncle holding a big fireworks lit, " Ping " sound, fireworks into the sky to shoot, the dark sky like daylight. Fireworks in the sky spread out, " Oh, how beautiful! " It is like a chrysanthemum, showing the petals, like colorful cuckoo as generous. Spread like a falling star, like the heavenly maids scatter blossoms. Looked at, looked at me and clapped his hands.

Late at night, the sound of firecrackers gradually disappeared, I also into the sweet dreams.

吃完年夜饭后，我牵着妈妈的手，抬头望着天空，“哇，好美呀！”我望着满天五光十色的烟花，不禁惊呆了。

傍晚时分，家家户户都放起了烟花，我们家也不例外。爸爸从沿街的小店里买鞭炮，荧光棒……。天黑了，我催爸爸快点放。爸爸拿来打火机，点燃了引火线，放起了鞭炮。“噼噼啪啪”一阵响亮的鞭炮声传入了我的耳朵，我赶紧捂住耳朵。一会儿，鞭炮放完了，我就拿出我的荧光棒，用打火机点燃后，挥舞着玩耍。那荧光棒的痕迹，犹如一颗颗流星划过天空，照亮了我的心房。

看我们这么热闹，姐姐也来凑热闹。她拿起一个烟花点燃后，突然，从三角形的小孔内蹦出洁白的，纯净的烟花，它像喷泉往上涌，越喷越高，越喷越高。不一会儿，就有半人多高，好一棵火树银花！这纯净的烟花似银河之水，别提有多美了。

叔叔捧着一个烟花点燃后，“坪”的一声，烟花就向天空射去，黑暗的天空犹如白昼。烟花在天空中散开，“啊，多美！”它像菊花一样，舒展着花瓣，绚丽多姿；像杜鹃那样大方。散开时也像流星坠落，好比天女散花。看着，看着我不禁鼓起掌来。

夜深了，鞭炮声渐渐消失了，我也进入了甜蜜的梦乡。

my plan of next year

a new year ，a new start，when i stand on the edge of a new year，i can’t help thinking about my plan of next year.

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！

我明年的计划

新的一年，新的开始，当我在新的一年的边缘立场，我不禁在想我明年的计划。

正如古人云：“。好开始是成功的一半“，所以我决定，我应该是在工作，而另一些性传播疾病就会放松，然后，在开始时，我比其他人更快，我当然会得到比别人更好的结果。

但是，我真正决定做的是，我必须利用好，我可以随时备用，虽然它似乎是不可能的。虽然，我会尽我所能，用我生活已计划了，结果将证明这一点。

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.

Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.

Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour) on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.

China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs.

我花了很长的时间来做作业…，在寒假这段时间里，我每天起的都很晚。然后呢，我听录音机(tape),转眼到九点了。之后，我吃完早饭再花一整天的时间去做作业!其实我做的并不慢，只是家庭作业布置的太多了!

我在玩耍方面也显得十分倒霉。在我玩爆竹的时候，伤着了我的手指。我手拿着放爆竹的时候，太不小心了，所以显得很是倒霉(杯具变成了餐具现在很流行的一个词，杯具餐具-作文地带)。

在我与朋友聚餐时也相当倒霉。早上，我是想着早点起，可是等我睡醒时已经是10：50.十分钟后，聚会就要开始!于是我只吃了块面包就径直向朋友家跑去!在朋友家呆了很长的时间后，我回到家，我爸爸妈妈很生气并且还大骂我一顿。

我很担心我的体重，上学期，我体重是48KG，但是现在我已经涨到51KG了!我必须减肥了!

但是更为重要的是，我已经去过了上海海洋水族馆，我非常期待去那，因为在那我可以看到马、猴子……还有大海。现在我实现这个愿望了。这也是我这个寒假唯一的一个亮点。

In ancient times, a demon called "evil spirit", the thirty night of sleeping with his hand to touch the childs head, children are often scared to cry, then headache fever, become a fool. Therefore, every family to sit on this day liangzhaodeng not sleep, called "keep away evil spirits".The couple have a son in old age, as a baby.

In thirty years the night, they were afraid of the "evil spirit" to harm children, took eight coins to play with the kids. Children play tired to fall asleep, they put eight coins wrapped in red paper on the childs pillow below, the couple not sleep a wink. In the middle of the night the ghostly wind blowing open the door, blew out the lights," evil spirit" has just reached out to touch the childs head, the pillow will burst with flash, scared" evil spirit" and ran away. The very next day, the couple put eight coins wrapped in red paper scare, "evil spirit" and told everyone, after we learn to do, the children the world is at peace.The original eight coins is 0.08 change, the secret to protect the child. Because the "evil spirit" and "old" homophonic, then gradually evolved into" gift money".

关于压岁钱，有一个流传很广的故事。古时候，有一种小妖叫“祟”，大年三十晚上出来用手去摸熟睡着的孩子的头，孩子往往吓得哭起来，接着头疼发热，变成傻子。因此，家家都在这天亮着灯坐着不睡，叫做“守祟”。

有一家夫妻俩老年得子，视为心肝宝贝。到了年三十夜晚，他们怕“祟”来害孩子，就拿出八枚铜钱同孩子玩。孩子玩累了睡着了，他们就把八枚铜钱用红纸包着放在孩子的枕头下边，夫妻俩不敢合眼。半夜里一阵阴风吹开房门，吹灭了灯火，“祟”刚伸手去摸孩子的头，枕头边就迸发道道闪光，吓得“祟”逃跑了。第二天，夫妻俩把用红纸包八枚铜钱吓退“祟”的事告诉了大家，以后大家学着做，孩子就太平无事了。

原来八枚铜钱是八仙变的，暗中来保护孩子的。因为“祟” 与“岁”谐音，之后逐渐演变为“压岁钱”。
