初中英语介绍中国春节的作文（合集20篇）

"Bumper harvest, bumper harvest!"!" Cried one of the fishermen, happily

jumping up like a child. After a while, the full cabin fish alive and kicking,

calm sea filled with coming from all sides of the fishermens

laughter.........

Now, like this "fish and shrimp full cabin" scene has been very rare. In

todays market, is the most common fish pound at least to dozens of yuan, more

serious pollution of the ocean, the ocean resources gradually dried up, seafood

production, prices rise, it illustrates this point?

In the ocean of natural calamities and man-made misfortunes emerge in an

endless stream today, human pollution is often not from the original intention,

but it is caused by the unexpected effect. The British Petroleum oil, because

the drilling platform explosion, caused by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico,

to 9900 square kilometers of sea water is seriously polluted, so that tens of

thousands of seabirds soaked in oil to move, die in hunger and misery, makes

countless fish poisoning death; and the Japanese earthquake and tsunami

triggered a nuclear leak the marine pollution is more serious......

The sea is so vast that it is because the rivers and streams flow into the

Yangtze River and then run into the sea. If we do not solve the pollution

problem from the source, then no matter how people clean up the sea, there will

always be sewage flowing into the sea, and all the efforts will be futile. Now,

streams and streams are often seriously polluted, or they become places where

people dump rubbish or are loaded with pesticide cans. Finding a clear stream in

an inhabited area can be very difficult today!

In any case, the protection of the oceans can not be achieved by individual

forces, and the protection of the oceans depends on the joint efforts of all

mankind. I do not want one day in the future, our descendants can only imagine

the image of the vast and wide sea.

This is not only the wish of a pupil, but also the wish of all mankind,

isnt it?

过年了，过年了!新的一年已经悄悄来临了!

除夕晚上应该吃团圆饭，妈妈把菜一样一样地端上餐桌。哇!今天的饭菜可真丰盛啊，有鱼、鸭、鸡，还有火锅……谁见了都会垂涎三尺。妈妈告诉我：这鱼肉代表年年有“鱼”,我想：这鸭肉就是代表年年有“鸭”吧!我拿起筷子夹了一块鱼肉，既然是年年有“鱼”，我就先吃鱼。鱼肉刚要放入我嘴里时，突然想起：应该先让长辈吃呀!我立刻把鱼肉放进了妈妈碗里，说：“妈妈，鱼有营养，你多吃点!”妈妈笑着对我说：“你个小滑头，你也多吃点，明天一定给你个大红包!”吃完饭，我们就看春节联欢晚会!有动听的歌声，千姿百态的舞蹈，神奇的魔术，笑料百出的相声，还有捧腹大笑的小品……不知不觉，十二点的钟声敲响了，顿时，听见窗外“劈哩啪啦”,在这爆竹声中一年过去了，新的一年又开始了!

大年初一早晨，爷爷把旧春联取下来，换上新春联。“梅开春烂漫，竹报岁平安”横批是“平平安安”。爷爷问我：“你知道我们的春联表达的什么吗?”“当然知道，是我们对新的一年的美好祝愿。”我骄傲的说。

初二该是媳妇回娘家的时候了。爸爸、妈妈和我一起到婆婆家，舅舅一家和姨妈一家已经在那里。我忙跑到婆婆跟前说：“祝婆婆身体健康、延年益寿!”婆婆给我了一个大红包。我说：“谢谢婆婆!”之后，我又祝舅舅一家人，和姨妈一家人，分别都得到了他们给的大红包。……

回忆着新年里的事，我想起了宋代王安石写的诗“元日”：

我的性格就像一朵变幻莫测的云，一会儿一个样，这会儿可能还是温顺的小绵羊，但下一秒可能就变成了凶巴巴的大白狼。这就是多面的我！

我又大方又小气，为什么大方？因为我喜欢分享的快乐。一次，我带了满满一袋糖果，口袋塞得像猪八戒的肚子，鼓鼓着都撑快爆了！结果，同学们像饿狼看到羊一般，扑向了我，而我毫不犹豫地把这甜蜜的供品奉上，因为跟别人分享，自己的心里也好像长出了一朵芬芳的花。可为什么我又小气呢？一次美术课上，同桌想跟我借卡纸，想到他平时上课那么不认真，我一眼都懒得理他，一脸嫌弃地说:不给！他苦苦地恳求：就一张，不多不少，就一张！我恶狠狠地瞪着他，生气地说：不给，谁让你上课总不专心，这就是惩罚！他马上乖乖就范，不敢再说话。这就我爱憎分明的小气啦！

我既勤快又有点小懒惰，为什么勤快？一旦我勤快起来，那可是谁也拦不住的。像妈妈做午饭时，我就义不容辞的成了协助小能手啦！从洗菜到切菜，一条龙服务，而且质量保证过关合格。妈妈的夸奖就是我变身勤快小公主的动力。那为什么会懒呢？这个让我来举个例子吧！就像晒被子一类的活，一旦妈妈给我下干活指令，懒洋洋的爸爸就会推三阻四，我也赶紧躲得远远的，生怕被妈妈抓去，最后的结果一般都是妈妈自己乖乖无奈的收拾残局，我想：生活里的小懒惰你也应该有过吧！哈哈......

我就是一朵云，一朵飘忽不定的云！为什么人会有这么多面呢？我认为在不同情况下人的性格会变，你觉得呢？

中国世界文化遗产有很多，如美丽的布达拉宫，雄伟的长城，可最令人好奇的还是位于西安的秦兵马俑。

秦兵马俑是在秦始皇时期的军队和战马，不过是用陶泥做的。因为人物过于逼真，所以很多人都认为兵马俑是真人烧制的。在春秋战国时期，秦始皇废止了人殉，用木佣或陶佣代替，不再用真人陪葬，而兵马俑就是典型的陶佣。这样伟大的成就除了秦始皇的功劳，更多的是工匠的智慧。

兵马俑大部分是用陶瓷制成，既坚硬又均匀，看起来就如真人一般。据调查，兵马俑起初都具有鲜艳的色彩，红色、黄色和蓝色。但因为放的时间太长了，色彩已经在泥土中脱落，发现时是没有色彩的土黄色。兵马俑都整齐的摆放在秦始皇的陪葬坑里，坑有5米深，内部空间有3。2米，坑顶高出地表2米。一个陪葬坑里，可以放下8000多个兵马俑，而且每一个兵马俑的脸型、身材、表情、年龄，包括手中的兵器都不一样。

在西安共发现了4个陪葬坑，其中3个坑都放满了兵马俑，却有一个坑内没有任何兵马俑。至今，考古学家还在调查坑里为什么会是空的。

兵马俑在中国历史上，留下了不可抹去的成就。它在泥土中埋了两千多年，却能完好无损的保存下来，多么不可思议啊!

It is 4,000 years since the Chinese began to grow and drink tea.

There’re many kinds of tea in China, of which Longjing Tea is famous all

over the world.

Tea is usually drunk in tea sets. A tea set is made up of a tea pot and

some teacups, which are both made of china.

Most Chinese are fond of drinking tea. Tea is served not only at tea house

and restaurants but also at home. People also drink tea during breaks at offices

or factories.

As a student, my main target is to study well and then make progress step

by step. When holiday comes, it is time for me to play, and I should be happy,

while playing all the time makes me feel empty in my heart. I have done nothing

at all. I want to do something meaningful to enrich my life. So a target is

needed for me. I set a small goal, such as, read a book, or help my mother with

her work. Everytime when I finish my target, I will feel so satisfied. The

meaningful life is to do something useful and make you feel happy.

Kung Fu Panda is the lastest project from Dreamworks. It’s a CG-animated comedy about a lazy, irreverent slacker panda named Po Po (Voiced by Jack Black), who must somehow become a Kung Fu Master in order to save the Valley of Peace from a villainous snow leopard, Tai Lung. Prophecy said that Po is the “Chosen One” to save the day. But he appears to be the laziest of all the animals in ancient China. A group of martial arts masters are going to need a black belt in patience if they are going to turn this slacker panda into a kung fu fighter before it’s too late.I like the movie because it is very interesting and funny.The monkey is voiced by Jackey Chan who is my favourite star!

I come from Enshi, Hubei Province, a small developing town. I like to watch

the scenery, walk, chat on the Internet and play games.

In sports, I occasionally play basketball, football, soldier ball and

badminton.

For the coming college life, my expectation is to learn English well, adapt

to college life as soon as possible,

and also hope to know more friends. Wonderful four years of University.

In addition, I am professional and solid, reading is my greatest enjoyment,

and studying computer makes me feel happy.

Im practical in my work, and Ill finish no matter how small I am.

I can repair the computer, manage the network, network operation and online

sales.

Whats important is that I have a kind of spirit of persevering in

research, a kind of neck that will never stop until I understand.

春节快到了，平湖的大街小巷都变了样。彩灯、“福”字、对联……多得数也数不清。就在这万分忙碌、喜庆的日子里，我用眼睛捕捉了几个好镜头。 The Spring Festival is coming, and the streets and alleys of Pinghu have changed.Color lanterns, "blessings", couplets ... are countless.In this busy and festive days, I captured a few good shots with my eyes.

一、小区

别的小区不说，就说我住的小区吧，为了迎接春节的到来，有一位姓王的老公公，提笔写下了一副对联：“雄鸡福寿唱新歌，猴报安康吟雅韵”。好吧，真可以称得上是绝妙啊!除此之外，每家每户都贴上了“福”字。小区的墙面、楼梯都穿上了新衣服，大家都在等待春节的到来。

二、超市

超市里，人可是多得不得了!不要说刮风下雨，大家都不管三七二十一，买了再说。饮料、小吃柜台上可是销售一空啊，假如说，在这儿丢了人，找起来可不容易!悄悄告诉你，幸亏我家购年货购得早，要是你现在去啊，付钱结帐不知要等到何年哪月。排队的队伍就像一条龙，在超市里穿梭。你要从超市进去，就别想从那儿出来!

三、商店

门口的小商店也忙得不亦乐乎。门口挂满了红灯笼，一串一串的，看得我眼花缭乱。在这么多商店里，最喜气洋洋的要数建国路口的小吃店—“有意思”了。一走进“有意思”，一只只“烧鸡”朝我迎面扑来，害得我口水直流。瞧，窗户上、墙壁上、天花板上，贴满了“鸡”，哎，那么多“鸡”，吃都吃不完哪!

四、马路、公路

马路上，汽车来来往往。有的是搬家公司的，有的是结婚车，还有的是去老家探亲戚的。在那宽宽的高速公路上，警察叔叔可是随处可见，你们不知道吧，据说，今年春节，回家探亲戚的人源源不断，司机大哥为了多赚点票票，就要超载。他们虽然都把超载的人藏得好好的，但是都逃不过警察的火眼金睛，超载的人都罚了款。我现在真想说一句：“警察叔叔，您辛苦啦!”

五、老人、大人、小朋友

在春节的晚上，大家都会拿出已经买好的烟火、鞭炮放，漂亮的烟火在天空中绽放，增加了节日的气氛。每个人都穿上了新衣服，等着长辈发红包。看着这一个个厚厚的红包，大家心里都开了花。我啊，现在已经收到500元的压岁钱了，当然我不会乱用。我都把它们藏在小金库里，等到教学费的时候，再把它们给牺牲了!

在教我的老师中，有亲切和蔼的语文老师，有严肃认真的数学老师，有活泼开朗的音乐老师，还有幽默诙谐的体育老师……这些老师都无私地教给我们各种知识，让我们在学习的海洋中自由地翱翔。最让我难忘的是教我英语的蒋老师，她不仅让我爱上了英语，更让我成为一个勇于克服缺点的人。

刚上一年级时，由于我在换牙，口齿不清，所以在英语课上根本就不敢进行口语练习，生怕同学们笑话我“大舌头“。当时同学们在老师的带领下，都能流利地用英语谈话，而一句简单的“my name is yuxiaolin”我都说不出来。面对老师的提问，我总是把头低下，心想：别叫我，千万别叫我!开始，同学们都踊跃举手，所以蒋老师也就没有发现胆小的我。

可是随着时间的推移，老师终于在一次口语练习的时候叫到了把身体都快溜到课桌下的我。我在大家的注视下，红着脸站起来了，我感到自己的眼泪快要流出来了。“别着急，说出你的名字。”老师的语气是那么柔和，可是我说不出口。时间就在我的窘迫中渐渐流逝，终于老师打破了沉默，“我知道你的名字，老师们都夸奖你是个学习认真的孩子。同学们，是不是呀?”同学们都不假思索地应和：“是!”听到这些，我的眼泪不由自主地流下来了。蒋老师带领大家一起说出：“my name is yuxiaolin! my name is yuxiaolin!”奇怪，我竟然不害怕了，也跟着同学们一起说连续说了两遍，就在大家都停下时，由于惯性，我又说了“my name is yuxiaolin”。“你真棒!”老师竟然祝贺我，“好孩子，你能再大声说一遍吗?” “my name is yuxiaolin!”我终于敢张开嘴了，心里也仿佛卸下了一块大石头。同学们没有嘲笑我，老师没有批评我，耶!我不怕了!

从那以后，不论什么课，我都勇敢地举手发言了，胆小的毛病终于摆脱了。在英语课上，我的积极性更高，不仅敢发言，而且还愿意和老师、同学们对话，英语的口语交际能力明显提高了。当初那节英语课一直留在我记忆的最深处，蒋老师如春风般的话语时刻在我耳边响起。

Since we were born as a little baby, we get help from others all the time. Our parents raise us, our teachers teach us and our friends company us. Therefore, it’s important for us to be grateful to those people who give us a hand. Being grateful is a way to show them our appreciation and our love. No one in the world is supposed to love us without any conditions. Moreover, Being grateful to others and to what you get can lead you are ready to help others, too. I think this is the most important impact on people that being grateful. If we are all show our appreciation to others and then help others, we could build a friendly and harmonious society.

She is the most beautiful and best mother for me.

“爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏”这句诗是古人描写春节的情景，我也喜欢春节。

春节前两天的早晨，我起床时，爸爸妈妈都已经穿好了衣服，爸爸开着车带着我们一家到了爷爷奶奶家里。爷爷不在家，奶奶在家里看电视，我和弟弟在外面玩。

到晚上，我们一家人在厨房里做团圆饭，爸爸和奶奶切菜，妈妈和大妈做饭，我烧锅。厨房里飘出的阵阵菜香可把我馋得不轻，只盼望着赶快开饭。

过了一会，饭做好了，爷爷把酒拿了过来，这真是在一年中阖家欢乐的一天呀!共饮屠苏美酒，品尝着团圆饭中各种爱吃的菜：辣椒炒肉、胡萝卜丝、鱼汤、红烧排骨等，我们都大口大口地吃了起来，姐姐还把果汁拿了过来，大家都吃得很欢畅。

晚饭后，就开始做游戏了，妹妹给爸爸气球，爸爸把气球吹得好大，我们就开始玩踩气球。我和弟弟一队，姐姐和妹妹一队。开始了，我跑向姐姐，踩来踩去，就是踩不着，结果给姐姐踩了一个。我向后跑，看见了妹妹，妹妹踩弟弟的气球，趁她不注意，我把她的两个气球全都踩爆了。可游戏太激烈了，最终我还是输了。

除夕这一天一大早，爸爸妈妈起床了，把我叫了起来，我说：“妈妈，有什么事?”“你说有什么事，要贴对联了。”妈妈说。我赶忙起床，爸爸把“福”字贴到了，我立马提醒说：“您把‘福’字倒过来干嘛?”爸爸说：“你已经长大了，有什么问题可以自己想办法查阅书籍资料。”回来之后问了爷爷奶奶，才知道爸爸是想要福到我们家，才故意贴倒了。

到了第二天早上，我给爷爷、奶奶磕头拜年：“祝爷爷、奶奶身体健康。新春快乐。”话音刚落，就拿了红包，两个红包里居然有800元巨款呢!

在新的一年中，我真开心，我真想下一个春节快点到来。

“天增岁月人增寿，春满乾坤福满门。”农历春节是我国的传统节日，有很多传统的习俗，比如贴年红、拜神祭祖、吃团圆饭、放爆竹等等。今年，我终于可以和爸爸妈妈一起回天台老家过年啦。

爸爸开车两个多小时后来到了平桥镇后村，汽车缓缓驶入村口蜿蜒的.小路，在家门口停了下来，“嘎吱”，两扇大铁门缓缓地打开，我飞快地跑下了车，还是如此熟悉的味道。

不一会儿，姑姑姑父，哥哥姐姐们都纷纷赶了回来，大家开始七手八脚地忙碌起来。奶奶拿出了事先买好的春联，我小心翼翼地将胶水均匀、平稳地涂好，和哥哥一起把对联贴好，大姑父挂上了红彤彤的大灯笼，看着那充满寓意的春联和喜气洋洋的灯笼我感受到了浓浓的年味。我和哥哥跑到楼顶的平台上玩耍，看到以前破旧的老屋变成了两层的小洋房，楼下一条泥泞的土路变成了宽阔的塑胶大道，宝马奥迪络绎不绝，农村的变化可真大呀。

忽然，我们几个小馋猫闻到了一股香气，是从厨房飘来的，我和哥哥跑进厨房，奶奶和姑姑们开始烧年夜饭啦。老家的厨房很大，既有传统农村的土灶台，也有现代化的煤气灶。土灶的炉火烧得旺旺的，两口大锅煮着白米饭和炖羊肉，煤气灶上烧着各种各样的小菜，双管齐下，一桌可口的年夜饭马上就准备好了。有白白嫩嫩的年糕，寓意生活年年高；有天台传统美食卷饼筒，寓意十全十美，包罗万象；有鲜嫩可口的牛排，寓意牛气冲天；有营养丰富的五味粥，寓意五谷丰登。这些美味的饭菜，看得我眼花缭乱，让人大饱口福。

吃完了年夜饭，我们放起了五彩缤纷的冲天炮，七彩的烟花在天空中绽放，我激动得跳了起来，这个充满年味的春节真是让人难忘啊！

A war without gunpowder has started in China, and Wuhan has become the most

serious epidemic area! The number of people infected in Wuhan accounts for

nearly half of the total number of people infected in the country. Wuhan is in a

hurry! At this most critical moment, many medical workers across the country

came forward to support Wuhan at the first time. There is the most dangerous

place, but they go against the trend regardless of their own life safety. They

take the life safety and health of the people as the first priority, and their

greatest commitment and responsibility is to save the dead and help the wounded.

They are soldiers in white, warriors fighting against the virus, the great wall

of steel to protect our health, and the most lovely people in the world!

april fools day is traditionally a day to play practical jokes on others, send people on fools errands, and fool the unsuspecting. no one knows how this holiday began but it was thought to have originated in france.

传统上来讲，愚人节这一天，人们可以相互搞恶作剧，骗人跑腿，欺骗不知情的人。没人知道这个节日是怎么来的，但人们普遍认为它源自法国。

the closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in france. new years was celebrated on march 25 and celebrations lasted until april 1st. when new years day as changed from march 25 to january 1st in the mid-1560s by king charles ix, there were some people who still celebrated it on april 1st and those people were called april fools.

庆祝愚人节最早是在1582年，在法国。那时，当时法国新年是在3月25日，一直持续到4月1日。16世纪60年代中期，国王查理九世把新年从3月25日变为1月1日，而还有一些人在4月1日过新年，这些人就被称作四月傻瓜了。

pranks performed on april fools day range from the simple, (such as saying, "your shoes untied!), to the elaborate. setting a roommates alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. the news media even gets involved. for instance, a british short film once shown on april fools day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees. whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "april fool!"

愚人节那天的恶作剧有的很简单(比如，说句“你鞋带开了!”)，有的却是精心设计的。把室友的闹钟往后调一小时是常见的。甚至新闻媒体都来凑热闹。比如，在愚人节那天，曾经有一部英国短片较为详细地记录了“种意大利面的农民”，以及他们如何从意大利面树上收获意大利面。不管是什么恶作剧，搞恶作剧的人通常在最后会对被搞的人喊一句:"四月傻瓜!"

april fools day is a "for-fun-only" observance. nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. nobody gets off work or school. its simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next april fool!

愚人节是一个“仅为娱乐”的节日。谁也不用买礼物，也不用带着男/女朋友出去到一家豪华餐厅去吃饭。人们也不会放假。它仅仅是个搞笑的小节日，但是在这一天，每个人都要保持警醒，不然就要被人耍啦。

each country celebrates april fools differently. in france, the april fools is called "april fish" (poisson davril). the french fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends backs and when some discovers this trick, they yell "poisson davril!".

每个国家用不同的方式过愚人节。在法国，愚人节被称作“april fish”。法国人和他们的朋友是这样开玩笑的：把一张裁成鱼形的纸用胶带粘到朋友的后背上，当有人发现的时候，他们就会喊：“poisson davril!”.

in england, tricks can be played only in the morning. if a trick is played on you, you are a "noodle". in scotland, april fools day is 48 hours long and you are called an "april gowk", which is another name for a cuckoo bird. the second day in scotlands april fools is called taily day and is dedicated to pranks involving the buttocks. taily days gift to posterior posterity is the still-hilarious "kick me" sign.

在英国，只能在早上搞恶作剧。如果你被耍了，那你就是“面条”。在苏格兰，愚人节要持续2天，被耍的人被称为“四月布谷”。苏格兰第二天的愚人节叫做taily day，恶作剧主要在别人的屁股上做文章。

In my life I have met many people who are really worth mentioning.But perhaps the most unforgettable person I have ever known is my English Teacher.

It is his special quality that is always kept in my memory.

For one thing,I was attracked by his wide range of knowledge.I remember that we students always attended his class with great eaherness because his lectures were humourously delivered,and he never failed to give us valuable advice.Nothing seemed difficult to learn after his explanation.

For another,I was deeply impressed by the respect he showed for us.As he treated us like friends rather than students,we all liked to visit his home for social activities as well as for advice.

Although it is over a year now since I attended his last class,he is the talk of our old classmates,and I know part of him has already stayed in my heart.

i’m a tall and lively boy. i like playing basketball very much because it’s interesting. i like nba, too. there are many famous stars in it. such as alan, iveson, tim, donken, jordan, kobe, o’neal and so on. yao ming is in the nba, too. he’s chinese. he plays basketball well. he’s a center forward. he’s our pride. all the ball stars can jump, shoot and pour in the basket. so each game of the nba is wonderful. sometimes the players can perform miracles, i think.

this year’s champion is spur team. it’s one of the strongest contenders.

i like nba. i love basketball.

TheDragonBoatFestivaloccurs on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar(阴历). It is one of the three most important of the annual Chinese festivals. The other two are the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year.

The story of this colorful festival concerns a famous Chinese scholar-statesman(政治家) named Chu Yuan(屈原) who, some three centuries before the birth of Christ, served the King of Chu(楚怀王)during the Warring States period. As a loyal minister(大臣), Chu Yuan at first enjoyed the full confidence and respect of his sovereign(君主). Eventually, through the intrigues of his rivals, he was discredited(不足信的, 不名誉的).

Chu Yuan was never able to regain(恢复) the emperors favor and on the fifth day of the fifth moon in the year 295 B.C.(Before Christ), at the age of 37, Chu Yuan clasped a stone to his chest and plunged into the Milo River(汨罗江) in the Hunan Province(湖南省).

Respecting the minister as an upright(正直的) and honest man, the people who lived in the area jumped into their boats and rushed out in a vain search for him. This unsuccessful rescue attempt is a part of what the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates every year.

Probably the most exciting and interesting aspect of the festival is the racing of the Dragon Boats. These races not only symbolize the peoples attempt to save Chu Yuan, they also demonstrate the Chinese virtues(美德) of cooperation and teamwork.

Another activity of the Festival is the making and eating of a kind of dumpling called Tzungtzu (粽子). When it became known that Chu Yuan was gone forever, the people, living along the river, threw cooked rice into the water as a sacrifice(祭品) to their dead hero. They wrapped(包) rice in bamboo leaves(粽叶), and stuffed(填满) it with ham, beans, bean paste(豆沙), salted egg yokes, sausages, nuts, and/or vegetables.

To the Chinese the fifth lunar moon is more than just the Dragon Boat Festival. Since antiquity(古代), they have believed that this month is a pestilential and danger-fraught(瘟疫的及充满危险的) period. Children born in this month are said to be difficult to raise(抚养), and people tend to concentrate their efforts during this time attempting to protect their families from ills and misfortune. The day of the Dragon Boat Festival is customarily the time when cleaning and sanitation(卫生) are stressed(着重, 强调). Most families hang calamus(菖蒲) and artemisia(艾草) above their doors, both as a decoration and as a preventive against pestilence.

Ancient folk medicines(民间药物) such as realgar(雄黄酒)are added to the food eaten on the Festival day. This is believed to prevent disease and to promote a healthy digestive system(消化器官). The drinking of realgar in wine supposedly relieves(解除) the effects of poisons accumulated in human bodies.

The sachets (Hsiang Pao in Chinese香包) are very popular with children and they vie(竞争) with each other to collect as many as possible. Children are not the only ones who collect Hsiang Pao. Older people are often given them as a symbol of respect, and they are highly prized because of the intricate(复杂的) and beautiful embroidery(刺绣) that adorns(装饰) them.

The Dragon Boat Festival is an entertaining and enjoyable event. It gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage

1、Its Chinese name "Qing Ming" literally means "Clear Brightness," hinting at its importance as a celebration of Spring. Similar to the spring festivals of other cultures, Tomb Sweeping Day celebrates the rebirth of nature, while marking the beginning of the planting season and other

outdoor activities.

What does it mean to relax?Despite hearing this term thousands of times

during the course of our lives, very few people have deeply considered what it’s

really about.

When you ask people (which I have done many times) what it means to relax,

most will answer in a way that suggests that relaxing is something you plan to

do lateryou do it on vacation, in a hammock, when you retire, or when you get

everything else done. This implies, of course, that most other times should be

spent nervous, agitated, rushed, and frenzied. Very few actually come out and

say so, but this is the obvious implication.Could this explain why so many of us

operate as if life were one great big emergency?

It is useful to think of relaxation as a quality of heart that you can

access on a regular basis rather than something reserved for some later time.

You can relax now. It’s helpful to remember that relaxed people can still be

superachievers and, in fact, that relaxation and creativity go hand in hand.When

I’m feeling uptight, for example, I don’t even try to write. But when I feel

relaxed, my writing flows quickly and easily.

"New Years day, New Years day!"The children were grinning from ear to ear on the grass.

The children in the square had some firecrackers and some around the fire.

At night, the sky becomes a colorful kaleidoscope.There are all kinds of firecrackers on the ground, red and red lanterns.From a distance, ah!It is more beautiful than spring, hotter than summer, richer than autumn, and more magnificent than winter.

There was a tray of candy and reunion dinners.Everyone happily gathered together, happily ate the reunion dinner, said to each other: "happy New Year to you!"I also say to everyone: "happy New Year!"

“过年了，过年了!”孩子们在草地上高兴得合不拢嘴。

广场上孩子们有的放鞭炮，有的围着火炉团团转。

夜晚，天空变成一个五彩缤纷，光彩夺目的万花筒;地上有各种各样的花炮，红红火火的灯笼。从远处一看，啊!比春天还美丽，比夏天还红火，比秋天还丰富，比冬天还壮观!

家里摆着一盘盘糖果和团圆饭。大家开开心心地聚在一起，高高兴兴地吃团圆饭，互相说声：“祝你新年快乐!”我也跟大家说：“新年好!”
