Every May in Chinese lunar calendar is Dragon Boat Festival, do you know anything about it? Let me speak for you.

Once upon a time, there was a patriotic poet Qu Yuan, once he went to Beijing to go to work, see a decline of state variable, then vote Miluo River to commit suicide. Before he died, he wrote a poem. People in order to commemorate the patriotic poet, the annual Lunar New Year in May at the beginning of a dragon boat festival.

The main contents of the Dragon Boat Festival is the dragon boat racing, zongzi.

Dragon boat racing scene is very lively, crowded shore. Just listen to the sound of gunfire, paddled boat people desperately, but the river is full of cheering.

Rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves, is for filling, with glutinous rice. When the package is very sticky, not professionals, but the package is not good!

According to legend, the dragon boat race is to salvage the Miluo River to die of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Threw rice dumplings into the river, is to let the fish and shrimp to eat, not eat Qu Yuans body.

There are many festivals in China. Among them, I like the Spring Festival most.Not only because it’s the biggest festival in the year, but also because it’s a new beginning that brings hope to people and it’s time for family gathering.Before the festival, people come home no matter where they are.Usually, we have a big dinner on the New Year’s Eve. And then families sit together and share their lives or planes.Some will play games or hang out to have some fun.

On the New Year’s Day, people get up early and say good words to anyone they meet.Children can get lucky money from relatives.In the following days, we will visit relative’s home and bring New Year’s wishes to them.In short, it’s a time for family gathering and all of us enjoy it.

在我国，一年有很多节日，在这些节日中，我最喜欢春节。这不仅因为它是一年中最大的节日，更因为它是新一年的开始，给人们带来新的希望，也因为它是亲朋好友团聚的时刻。不管身在何方，人们总会在春节前回到家里准备过节。

通常，我们会在除夕夜吃一顿丰盛的晚餐，之后家人团座一起，分享一年以来的生活以及新年计划。有的人则会玩游戏或者出去玩。大年初一，人们通常会早起，会与见到的人说吉祥话。孩子们会得到压岁钱。在接下来的几天里，人们会带上新年祝福互相串门拜年。总之，春节是一个欢聚一堂、供人享乐的日子。

愉快的寒假生活寒假生活就要结束了，回想这三十多天的生活，还真是有很多难忘而又愉快的事。

“过年好!过年好啊!”几声吉祥话第一个飘入我的耳朵里。这就是我这几天寒假生活的最深刻的印象：热闹!大年初一，我从热乎乎的被窝里爬出来，经没有感到任何的寒冷。放眼望去，满村红彤彤的一片——放过的爆竹纸皮、家家高挂的大红灯笼、还有满大家走着的穿着红唐装的乡亲们，喜庆的气氛随之即来。我穿好了衣服，和家人们一起吃热腾腾的早饭。普通的稀粥、咸菜，还有昨夜剩下的饺子，全家人在一起吃，也格外的香。刚吃完饭，就有人过来拜年。他们脸上洋溢着笑容，双手握在一起，向大家拜年，说着吉祥话。走前还往小孩手中塞压岁钱。小孩儿们则是瞪大眼睛，看着大人们推推嚷嚷时红包的位置，最终接到红包以后，也不敢擅自妄为，一切都看父母的眼色行事。

寒假和暑假最大的不同，就是在寒假里会过新年，亲人重聚，享受天伦之乐。今年过年，我远在外地姨、哥哥、弟弟们，都来到了我们家。我们家的人气一下子增高了，并且过了个热热闹闹的兔年。大表哥带回来优异的学业成绩;二表哥带回来适合的工作;小弟也带回来了口才班的学习成果。大家各有所得，互相交流着，十分融洽。这也许就是过年时的特殊气氛吧。

我过了一个愉快，平凡，但有充实的寒假。我乐在其中。

时间过的真快，转眼又是一年了，今天上午学校开始放寒假了。与以往放假时一样，妈妈总是在假期开始是要求我自己订一个假期计划，目的是为了我能在假期中合理安排好，既能在学习中寻找到各种乐趣，又能学到更多的知识。

首先，我要把寒假作业和老师布置的学习任务认认真真地完成好，要多锻炼身体，保持身体健康。

其次，我要练习书法，长大以后能写一手好字，要多看电视新闻，了解社会。我要坚持写日记，以前我写日记都是为了应付家长的检查，一点内容也没有，以后我打算每天看一篇课外书，把寒假期间的一些所见所闻、所思所想一一地记录在日记本上，要多看一些妈妈给我买的智慧背囊、优秀作文，学习一下人家的写作方法，提高自己的写作水平。在上网时间多进入，多看看别人是怎么写的，用取长补短的方法向别人多学习一些，少玩一些电脑游戏，它不但会对我们的学习造成影响，而且还对我们的眼睛有坏处。

再次，出去走亲戚时一定要做到文明礼貌、尊敬长辈。过年时要向老师们和长辈们拜年。

最后，我要加强学习的同时，还要多帮家人做一些力所能及的事情。

这就是我的寒假计划哦。

Everyone want to eat something, no matter you like to eat, or hate eating, have to eat. Everyone has decided to eat something right, and I like to eat delicious food, not only prefer to "eat" book.

The book is also delicious food. "Eat", which is read. Now, it is a fast information era, people pay attention to spiritual sustenance, so were going to take out some time to read books, reading newspapers, reading magazines, etc. However, reading these books are to be skilled. Do you want to read a good book or read bad books, all by myself. If you read good books, like and many noble people talk. I especially like voltaire is a famous saying: "when the first time to read a good book, I found a new friend; it seemed when I read the book again, as if is reunited with my old friends again."

Reading have strong will and develop good reading habits, reading while take good notes, meet their favorite part, dont understand of place, I always want to re-read it, also written in his deep sense of substance, absorb nutrition from the book, good books I read and reread let, benefit for life.

If read unhealthy books, you can be careful, this book can have magic, can catch your heart, deceived you dont listen well in class, not finish the homework in time, to steal, to solve the problem with a calculator to deceive the teacher, parents, they dont approve of the books of these is not a benefit to study, life. One of my favorite belinsky: "reading a book is not suitable for their reading, worse than not reading. We must be a kind of ability, choose the most valuable books, the most suitable for your needs."

Suits own reading, like to eat nutritious food, can not only improve our culture, more can enrich our inner world. Let us, therefore, a large number of reading classics, reading popular science, let us grow in the sea of knowledge to navigate.

人人都要吃东西，不管你喜欢吃也好，讨厌吃也罢，也都非吃不可。每个人都有决定自己吃什么的权利，而我不仅喜欢吃可口的食物，更喜欢“吃”书。

书也是美味的佳肴。“吃”书也就是读书。现在，是一个快信息的时代，人人讲究精神食粮，所以我们要拿出一些时间来读书，读报纸，读杂志等。但是，读这些书也是要有技巧的。你要读好书或读坏书，全靠自己。如果你读到有益的书，就好像和许多高尚的人谈话。我特别喜欢伏尔泰的一句名言是：“每当第一遍读一本好书的时候，我仿佛觉得找到了一个新朋友;当我再一次读这本书的时候，仿佛又和老朋友重逢了。”

读书还要有坚强的毅力，养成好的读书习惯，边读边记做好笔记，遇到自己喜欢的部分、不太明白的地方，我总是要多看几遍，还把自己的深刻感受写成读后感，从书中汲取营养，好的书让我百读不厌，受益终身。

若是读到不健康的书，你可要当心，这书可有魔力了，能抓住你的心，引诱你上课不好好听讲，不及时完成作业，偷用计算器做题，来蒙骗老师、父母，她们不赞成看这些对学习、人生无益的书。我最喜欢别林斯基的一句话：“阅读一本不适合自己读物的书，比不阅读还要坏。我们必须会这样一种本领，选择最有价值、最适合自己所需要的读物。”

读适合自己的书，就如同吃有营养的食物，不仅能提高我们的文化修养，更能丰富我们的内心世界。因此，让我们大量地阅读名著，阅读科普，让我们在知识的海洋里遨游成长。

Halloween (or Halloween) is an annual holiday observed on October 31, which commonly includes activities such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

History

Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summers end".Snap-Apple Night (1832) by Daniel Maclise.Depicts apple bobbing and divination games at a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland.The name Halloween and many of its present-day traditions derive from the Old English era.

The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day.[4] Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.

11月1日 -- 万圣节 All Saints Day

11月2日 -- 墨西哥的鬼节 Day of Death

万圣节(All Saints Day, All Hallows Day或Hallowmas) 是每年11月1日的欧美大节日。

Halloween 是 All Hallows Eve 的缩写，万圣节前夜的意思，指10月31日的晚上。

For thousands of years people have been celebrating different holidays and festivals at the end of October. The Celts celebrated it as Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”, with “sow” rhyming with cow)。 The Irish English dictionary published by the Irish Texts Society defines the word as follows:

“Samhain, All Hallowtide, the feast of the dead in Pagan and Christian times, signalizing the close of harvest and the initiation of the winter season, lasting till May, during which troops (esp. the Fiann) were quartered. Faeries were imagined as particularly active at this season. From it the half year is reckoned. also called Feile Moingfinne (Snow Goddess)。(1) The Scottish Gaelis Dictionary defines it as ”Hallowtide. The Feast of All Soula. Sam + Fuin = end of summer.“(2) Contrary to the information published by many organizations, there is no archaeological or literary evidence to indicate that Samhain was a deity. The Celtic Gods of the dead were Gwynn ap Nudd for the British, and Arawn for the Welsh. The Irish did not have a ”lord of death“ as such.

The Celts believed that every year on the last day of October, the souls of the dead visited the earth.www.

When the Romans conquered the Celts in the first century A.D., they added parts of their festivals, Feralia and Pomona to the tradition. Feralia was a festival to honor the dead and Pomona was a harvest festival named after the goddess of fruit (apples) and trees.

Around the eigth century, the Christian church made November 1 All Saints Day to honor all of the saints that didnt have a special day of their own. Over the years these festivals combined, the mass held on All Saints Day was called Allhallowmas (the mass of all Hallows - saintly people)。 The night before was known as All Hallows Eve. Eventually this name became Halloween.

In the 1800s, as a lot of people emigrated to the U.S., the holidays and traditions of different cultures merged. Halloween was not always a happy time. October 31, or the night before took on other names. Some called it Devils or Hell night, to others it was mischief night. Here in Vermont, the night before is called cabbage night. To some people this became a time to play tricks on others. Some of these tricks were not fun at all. Luckily, community groups and individuals took action and started to change Halloween into a family event. Dressing up in costumes and going ”trick or treating“, costume parades, community parties and Fall festivals are some of the ways that Halloween is celebrated today.

Other countries have different Fall festivals to honor the deceased.

The Festival of the Dead is one of the most important happenings in both Palermo and the rest of Sicily. The second of November is a festival day for the children of Palermo as, according to tradition,they were made to believe that their dead relatives would return the night before and leave them traditional sweets and cakes on the table (Martorana fruit, which is almond paste made into the shape of different fruit)。 They would also receive puppets of boiled sugar and toys. Its one way of keeping the memory of their dead relatives and loved ones alive.

一年中最”闹鬼“的这天夜里，各种妖魔鬼怪、 海盗、 外星来客和巫婆们纷纷出动。在基督纪元以前，凯尔特人在夏未举行仪式感激上苍和太阳的恩惠。

当时的占卜者点燃并施巫术以驱赶据说在四周游荡的妖魔怪。后来，罗马人用果仁和苹果来庆祝的丰收节与凯尔特人的10月31日溶合了。

在中世纪，人们穿上动物造型的服饰、 戴上可怕的面具是想在万圣节前夜驱赶黑夜中的鬼怪。尽管後来基督教代替了凯尔特和罗马的宗教活动，早期的习俗还是保留下来了。现在，孩子们带着开玩笑的心理穿戴上各种服饰和面具参加万圣节舞会，这些舞会四周的墙上往往悬挂着用纸糊的巫婆、 黑猫、 鬼怪和尸骨，窗前和门口则吊着龇牙裂嘴或是面目可憎的南瓜灯笼。孩子们还常常试图咬住悬挂着的苹果。

美国和加拿大的孩子们在这天穿戴上古怪的服饰去按邻居家的门铃，并按传统发出”是款待我还是要我耍花招“的威胁。邻居们不管是否被吓着，总是准备了一些糖果、 苹果等点心，孩子们则一一收入自己的袋内。

万圣节其实不是基督教的节日。2500年前，爱尔兰的凯尔特人(Celts)以10月31日为一年的最後一日，11月1日是新一年的开始，也象徵冬天的来临。

凯尔特人相信死亡之神Samhain在10月31日的晚上会和鬼魂一起重返人间，寻找替身。因此他们燃点火炬，焚烧动物以作为死亡之神的献礼。还会用动物的头或皮毛做成的服饰打扮自己，发出古怪的声音，使死亡之神认不出自己，避过灾难。这就是今天万圣节化妆舞会的由来。过了当晚，鬼魂回到阴间，一切回复平静。

基督教兴起，教徒沿袭万圣节传统，万圣节的意义慢慢改为纪念为献身於神而死亡的人(holies)。

附带一提，11月2日是墨西哥的鬼节(Los Dias de los Muertos, Day of the Dead)。当天家家户户都烘烤动物造型的面包和煮鸡肉等食物，并在供桌上面放置玩具，以期待早逝的孩童们回到家中玩耍。也可以陈列鲜花、 水果、 照片和彩绘的骷髅头，接待仙逝长辈。

墨西哥人认为，鬼魂和人一样需要及时行乐，所以鬼节宛若一场嘉年华会，人们带着面具到处游走，吃骷髅形状的糖，面包上还装饰有鬼的形像。黄昏时刻，全家人一起到墓园清理墓地，妇女们或跪或坐整夜祈祷，男人们交谈或唱歌，在子夜中烛光忽闪忽灭充满了整个墓园，游唱歌者为已逝亡者的灵魂高歌吟唱。
