写中国春节的英语高考作文【最新20篇】

生活中的传统文化多种多样：家家户户庆团圆的中秋节，端午节，还有登高望远的九九重阳节。今天，我就说说春节吧！

每年春节家家户户不仅要贴窗花，都要放鞭炮！这是为什么呢？原来，从前有个叫年的怪兽，每年大年三十就来到村子里来危害村民。村民大惊失色，吓得魂飞魄散，却什么办法也没有，只有躲一天是一天，因为年它可以吃掉村子里所有人，搞得村子里人心惶惶。有一年，这个叫年的怪兽又来了，天渐渐黑了，村民吓得逃到了山林里，可是有一位大胆的老人点起火堆，火熊熊烧起，火堆就要灭时，突然一个小孩找到竹节扔进火堆，当年要吃人时，突然火堆发出噼里啪啦的声音，年吓得狼狈得逃走了。年虽然不来了，但人们怕它来，就这样，过年放鞭炮的习俗就这样形成了。

春节的时候，旱晨爸爸用胶水把春联贴到大门上面和两边，上面贴横批。姐姐把福字倒贴在门口，就是预示着福的倒来。

晚上，放完鞭炮，该吃年夜饭了，妈妈从厨房间里端出我喜欢吃的鱼肉，鱼肉表示年年有余，除了鱼，还有红烧排骨，糖醋里脊，可乐鸡翅，丰盛的年夜饭开始了，我们一边吃饭，一边举杯彼此祝福。开始发红包了，奶奶说“只要你们好好学习，除了红包还有别的奖励，发完了压岁钱，我们准时打开电视机，看春节联欢晚会，那美妙的歌曲使人陶醉，那精彩的相声小品，使人哄堂大笑……

我爱过春节，这就是美好的春节习俗，如果每天都这样，那简直是太棒了！我要努力学习，希望每年学习都棒棒的，每年都更上一层楼。

I live with my father and mother in a very big house in Dongguan. My parents are both very busy. They leave for work very early in the morning and don’t return home until late in the evening.

When I am home on weekends from school, we spend a lot of time together. We talk about my studies, my health and my school life. I love my parents very much.

My grandparents are still living, but they don’t live with us. Their health is good and they both do sports very early in the morning. My grandmother does gymnastics with elderly women her age in the park. Both of my grandfathers play basketball in the morning and sometimes they go swimming.

Chinese people eat rice for every meal, but I don’t like rice because I think it is tasteless! We eat meat, fish and vegetables. My family eats noodles and congee. My favorite is noodles.

I often play computer games because I like it so much. I often watch Japanese cartoon movies with my parents on the weekends. On long holidays we take trips, too.

That is my description of typical family life in China.

1、失败是常有的事

2、人们对失败有各种不同的态度。

3、我对失败的态度。

Is Failure a Bad Thing?

Failure is a common thing in our daily life. For example, sometimes we fail to pass the examinations. On other occasions, we are defeated in sport games. And there are times when we fail to do more satisfactory work. So it is safe to say that every one of us must have encountered failure of one kind or another.

However, different people have different attitudes towards failure. Some people lose heart when they come across failures. They seem to think that it is the end of the world. Others, on the contrary, don’t take failure seriously. They seem to think that failure is first step to success.

In my opinion, what really counts is not failure itself, but our attitude towards it. If we are afraid of failure and yield to it easily, we are bound to have one failure after another. But as long as we have confidence in ourselves and learn something from failure, we’ll certainly go from victory to victory. So I’m never afraid of failure, or I firmly believe that “failure is the mother of success.”

Chinese New year is a chinese traditional festival. We also call it the spring festival. It is on lunar january 1st.

After dinner, we always watch tv New year progammes. We have a wonderful evening on New year’s eve.

On the first day of the spring festival, most of people get up early and say “happy New year” to each other. for breakfast, people often eat dumplings and baozi. After breakfast, people often make many delicious foods, and children often play cards, computer games and fireworks. On the second and third day, we visit friends and relatives.

Everyone is busy on chinese New year, and everyone is happy, too.

在发展快速的今天，英语的地位也越来越重要，那么你认为中国人到底该不该热学英语呢?

Owing to the current exam-oriented education environment, students attach much importance to learning English. This is having a negative impact on traditional Chinese cultural values. It’s high time that we cooled down our English fever and protected our mother tongue. Instead of making English a compulsory course, schools should make it optional and offer other courses on Chinese culture and other foreign languages.

It is learning English that can help us to understand the rest of the world. Because of English, we can travel abroad without tour guides, understand the instructions of imported goods and study abroad. It is too extreme to cancel English classes in schools. It is our education system instead of English learning that makes students as busy as bees.

The Chinese have specific way to celebrate their new year. If you walk down the street in Chinatown during Chinese New Year, you see a variety of ancient traditions such as red banners, firecrackers and lion dance performances, streets are filled with lively celebration.

However, legend has said that the new year has not always been a time of festivity. An Asian Chinese story told a chilly start to this festive holiday, it begins with an ancient Chinese beast called Nian.

Every New Year Nian would rise from swelling in the sea to ravage Chinese village in livestock and hurting people. The villages soon found out from a wise gray-haired old man that the only way to scare the beast away was to set off firecrackers and light lamps and to hang red banners on each door. As the story goes, this was the beginning of a tradition that would last thousands of years.

So this story leads to the creation of many of other traditions for celebrating Chinese New Year. lets take a look at some of these traditions.

Spring Festival,families get together and have a big meal.

请根据以下的提示，并结合自己的交友经历，表达你对朋友的理解。

Without friends, life is not worth living. But what kind of person can be accepted as friend? Lots of people are classmates and arent friends. Lots of people are lovers but arent friends. You can appreciate or admire someone, but that doesnt make them a friend. If their attitude is "for better or worse," if they stick with you through thick and thin, thats when you can tell its friendship.

The term, friend, covers a wide range of meanings. It can be a nodding acquaintance, a comrade, a partner, a playmate, a brother, etc. As life is full of obstacles and conflicts, we need friends to give us supports to get through tough times, we also need friends to give us warnings to go against danger. True friends share not only joy but, more often than not, they share sorrow and difficulties.

With friendship, life is happy and harmonious. Without friendship, life is hostile and unfortunate. I have friends in the rank and file. Some are rich and in power. Some are low and common. Some are like myself, working as an ordinary teacher, reading and writing and content with the simple life. To many of my friends, I know what to treasure, what to tolerate and what to share, I will never forget my old friends and keep making new friends. I will not be cold and indifferent to the poor friends and will show concern for them, even if it is only a comforting word.

【参考译文】

没有朋友，生活就不值得活。但是什么样的人可以被接纳为朋友呢?很多人都是同学而不是朋友。很多人都是恋人，但不是朋友。你可以欣赏或欣赏某人，但这并不能使他们成为朋友。如果他们的态度是“好或坏”，如果他们坚持你通过厚和薄，那时候你可以告诉它的友谊。

这个词，朋友，涵盖了广泛的意义。它可以是一个点头之交，一个同志，一个伙伴，一个玩伴，一个兄弟等。生活充满了障碍和冲突，我们需要朋友给我们支持，以渡过艰难时期，我们还需要朋友给我们警告，以抵御危险。真正的朋友不仅分享快乐，而且经常分享悲伤和困难。

有了友谊，生活幸福和谐。没有友谊，生活充满敌意和不幸。我有朋友的职级和文件。有些人富有而有权力。一些低和共同。有些人和我一样，作为一个普通的老师，阅读和写作，满足简单的生活。对于我的许多朋友，我知道该珍惜什么，容忍什么，分享什么，我永远不会忘记我的老朋友和结交新朋友。我不会对冷漠的朋友冷漠冷漠，会关心他们，哪怕只是一句安慰的话。

或许春节中食物的消耗比一年中其他时候都要大

大量的传统食物被准备给家人和朋友,同样还有逝去的亲近的人

On New Years Day, the Chinese family will eat a vegetarian dish called jai.

在春节当天,中国家庭将吃一种蔬菜制的名为"jai"(春卷……大概)的食物

Although the various ingredients in jai are root vegetables or fibrous vegetables, many people attribute various superstitious aspects to them.

尽管春卷里的配料都只是根菜或粗纤维蔬菜，许多人还是把各种迷信方面的事归于它们

Other foods include a whole fish, to represent togetherness and abundance, and a chicken for prosperity.

用其他食物，包括一整条鱼，来代表团圆和富饶，或一只鸡来代表兴旺

The chicken must be presented with a head, tail and feet to symbolize completeness. Noodles should be uncut, as they represent long life.

这只鸡必须要有头有胃还有脚来象征完整。面则不能被切断，因为他们代表了长寿

In south China, the favorite and most typical dishes were nian gao, sweet steamed glutinous rice(糯米)pudding and zong zi (glutinous rice wrapped up in reed(芦苇)leaves), another popular delicacy.

My dear fellow students,

The Olympics are just around the corner. Today I want to talk about good manners and courtesy.

We Chinese have always been respected and highly praised for good manners and courtesy, which have, as well, become precious traditions of our people. In a couple of weeks beyond, a large number of foreign friends will come to China to join us in enjoying the Olympics. Before foreign guests, we should have an easy manner and behave politely and warm-heartedly. In public places, such ugly behaviors as uproar, pushing or squeezing together, spitting and so on should be determinedly forbidden. In a sense, each of us will not simply stand for ourselves but stand for China. Therefore, boys and girls, let’s do it well right now and the eyes of the world are to on us!

Dear Jane, Glad to hear from you and you’re welcome to China in July. The following are some Chinese customs. Firstly, we greet each other by saying “Hello” or asking such questions as “Where are you going?” or “Are you busy?” to express our care. Secondly, when praised, we reply with “Oh, no!” or “I’m over-praised” to show good manners. Next, when receiving a gift, we usually say “It’s unnecessary” besides “Thanks” to show politeness and then put it away. Finally, at dinner parties, we talk loudly and touch glasses when drinking to someone’s health or success to show that we’re warm. Anyhow, different cultures, different customs. If you “Do as the Romans do when in Rome”, you’ll enjoy more of your stay here. I hope what’s mentioned above might be helpful and wish you a good journey. Yours sincerely, Li Hua

亲爱的简，很高兴收到你的来信，欢迎你到中国来，七月。以下是一些中国习俗。首先，我们打招呼对方说“你好”或问这样的问题，“你去哪里？“或者”你很忙吗？“以表达我们的关心。其次，当赞美，我们回答“哦，没有！“或”我为表现出良好的礼貌。其次，当收到礼物时，我们通常会说：“这是不必要的”，除了“谢谢”以示礼貌，然后把它放了。最后，在宴会上，当我们喝到别人的健康或成功的时候，我们会大声地和触摸眼镜来证明我们是温暖的。总之，不同的文化，不同的风俗。如果你“在罗马做罗马人”，你会在这里享受更多的停留时间。我希望上面提到的可能是有益的，祝你旅途愉快。你的真诚，李华

春节是中国的传统节日，举国欢庆，万家团圆，共度美好佳节。

春节还没到，许多人都捺不住自己激动的心情放起炮来，那零零星星的“流星雨”，真美。

除夕之夜，我匆匆扒了几口饭便在家门口放起爆竹，点火，闪开，捂耳朵，只听一阵急速的嘶嘶声，接着一声"嘭”的声音，烟花在夜幕中画出一道银弧后炸开了，出一束耀眼的花火，旋转，放大，变形，一棵亮丽的圣诞树奇迹般的出现了。一串烟花腾空而起，如花绽放，天空明亮的如同昼夜一般。

All he has to do is to turn around, cross the bridge and walk to the tree.

目前，一些诸如GG、MM、 Xia Mi 等网络语言在青少年中极为盛行，并且出现在家庭作业报告，甚至全国入学考试的作文中。请你以 “Should Internet Slang Be Prohibited (禁止)?”为题，根据下表内容用英语写一篇短文，并谈谈你自己的看法。

注意：

1. 短文开头已经给出，不计入总词数; 2. 词数：100-120左右

Should Internet Slang Be Prohibited?

At present， Internet Slang， such as “GG， MM， Xia Mi”， has become popular among the teenagers.

There are different opinions on Internet Slang. Some students think Internet Slang is vivid， fashionable and full of humor and intelligence. Besides， it makes chatting on the Internet quicker.

However， some other students think Internet Slang lacks depth of thought and is too simple. Also， it is hard to understand and not accepted by most people. The words sometimes might make people confused， even resulting in misunderstanding.

Every coin has two sides. In my opinion， living in the Information Age， if we don’t know the Internet Slang， we seem to fall behind the times. It will be OK as long as these terms are used correctly in proper situations. ​

【参考译文】

应该禁止网络语言吗?

目前，网络语言，如“GG，MM，夏咪”，在青少年中已经流行起来。

关于网络语言有不同的看法。一些学生认为网络俚语生动，时尚，充满幽默和智慧。此外，它使上网聊天更快。

然而，另一些学生认为网络语言缺乏思想深度，过于简单。此外，它是很难理解和不被大多数人接受。这些话有时会使人迷惑，甚至造成误解。

每件事情都有两面性。在我看来，生活在信息时代，如果我们不知道互联网语言，我们似乎落后于时代。只要这些术语在适当的场合正确使用，就可以了。

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!

The Duanwu Festival, which is also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is an

ancient Chinese traditional festival, celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth

lunar month. For thousands of years, various celebrating activities are held all

around the country. Eating zongzi and racing dragon boats are the most pertinent

ones, which are said to be in memory of Qu Yuan, a great poet. In some places,

people spread realgar wine on the children in the hope of protecting them from

the evil spirits. Many people consider May as an especially dangerous time for

diseases in a year, and therefore they hang moxa and calamus and things like

that around the doors to ward off evil and diseases and pray for good luck.

New Year Party

On New Year#39;s 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."
