春节即将来临了，我知道大家一定非常喜欢过春节。因为大家可以贴春联、看春节联欢晚会、走亲访友……

记得去年春节快来临时，我在家里学写对联，我站在一旁看大人们写对联，只见他们手拿一支毛笔，在墨水里蘸了蘸，然后就在红纸上写了几个大字。具体内容我已记不清了。那一幅对联写得非常工整，我见了就对伯父说：“能教我写对联吗?”我清楚地记得伯父问：“你会用毛笔吗?你知道应该怎样写对联吗?”我摇了摇头说：“不会。”于是他又说：“你今年又长大了一岁，居然连毛笔都还不会使用，趁着这个机会，我就教你几招吧。”听了伯父的话，我高兴地跳了起来。伯父告诉我，写字时身子要坐直，不要趴在桌子上。然后又详细地告诉我应该怎样使用毛笔。听了伯父的一番话，我终于学会了使用毛笔的一些最为基本的方法。接着伯父又让我写了几个字给他看看。我写了五个字：“我最爱中国”。写得歪歪扭扭，大概是刚使用毛笔吧!伯父见了笑了笑：“字倒是写得不错，就是笔画不直。”于是伯父又教导我：“写每个字时并不是要用同样的力量，在写每个字时，用的力量要有轻重变化，这样写出来的字就更有变化，看起来也更美观。伯父说完还示范地写了几个字让我模仿。看着伯父写的字，就是挺舒服。我照着伯父的样子试着写了几个字，还真有进步，比刚才写的看上去要好多了，我开心极了。伯父还告诉我，写字要经常训练，多去模仿名贴。写得多了，字就越写越好看。

在这个春节，我初步学了点写毛笔字的技巧，真是比得了压岁钱还更高兴，还更实惠。

A scratching of firecrackers, fireworks filled the air, and came to the annual Spring Festival. Early in the morning, the mother is busy in the kitchen, I decided to go around the streets.

Ah/each streets, there are so many colorful figure shook, like a colorful river flowing merrily, saw the head, after see the tail.

In busy supermarket, all kinds of exquisite candy and assistant cordial smile together, make the person feast for the eyes. Customers holding the bags in the crowded out of the supermarket, a smile on each face, bleeding heart honey. Every family cleaned the house and yard, as the Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures, everywhere look brand-new.

Ah, New Years eve finally came/town everywhere decorated, in some places across the hung with colored lights series, some place to put the colorful fireworks, where there are flocks of wearing a beautiful child in the play.

12, when the melodious bell sound through the streets firecrackers exploded. "Double bang firecracker" up, "ZuanTianHou" screaming and up into the sky. The stars shone in the night, festival of fireworks colourful, the ground laughter, the joy of the people. Such as Fried bean firecrackers ring after, of the people on to the street happy New Year to each other, "I wish you a long life/" "I wish you a happy Spring Festival/" these words as peoples laughter, as from time to time off firecrackers to fly out of the streets, in a festival in the night sky.

一阵噼里啪啦的鞭炮声传来，空气中弥漫着烟火的气息，一年一度的春节又来到了。一大早，妈妈就在厨房忙个不停，我决定去街上转转。

啊/每条大街小巷，都有那么多五颜六色的身影在晃动，像一条彩色的河欢快地流淌着，前不见头，后不见尾。

在热闹的超市里，各色精美的糖果和售货员亲切的笑容融为一体，使人赏心悦目。顾客们抱着大包小包拥挤着走出超市，个个脸上挂着笑容，心里淌着蜜。家家户户都清扫了房屋和庭院，贴上了春联，年画，到处焕然一新。

啊，除夕之夜终于来临了/全镇各处都张灯结彩，有的地方横着竖着挂着五色的灯串，有的地方放着五光十色的烟花，还有的地方一群群穿着漂亮的孩子在尽情的玩耍。

当悠扬的钟声响过12下，大街小巷上鞭炮齐鸣;“二踢脚”腾空而起，“钻天猴”呼啸着蹿入夜空。夜空星光闪耀，节日的礼花五彩缤纷，地上欢声笑语，欢乐的人们三五成群。如炒豆般的鞭炮响过以后，人们拥到街头互相拜年，“祝您长寿/”“祝您春节愉快/”这些话语随着人们的欢声笑语，随着不时响起的鞭炮声飞出了大街小巷，飘荡在节日的夜空中。

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.

In a year of many programs, my favorite is the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival is also called the Chinese New Year.

According to legend, "year" is a monster, every Chinese new year it ran to the scourge of human people, so people in the door to paste the red antithetical couplet, home burning fire, burning firecrackers to scare away Sheng "year", so the formation of people with fire, burning, paste antithetical couplet Sheng firecrackers is celebrated a year of good harvest and pray for a bumper harvest in the coming year tradition.

As soon as the Spring Festival comes, our family will go to grandmas home. The old house is busy, and the people out are going back. Every year is waiting for my father to write a couplet, we help to stick. The most interesting thing is to put off fireworks and firecrackers, and always do not play enough. Grandpa and grandmas "money" is more than a year, saying that it is saving for us to read the University. With mom and dad went from door to door, a relative blessing, "Happy New Year" "Happy New Year" "fortune" and "when leading" the university entrance exam

The Spring Festival is the end of a year. It is also the beginning of the year. People celebrate the years harvest in the Spring Festival, and summarize the results of the year. The harvest of people on holidays, jubilant, eat delicacy, to reward their relatives. At this time, I will calm down in the bustle, think of the past year, how I have passed, what is worth remembering, and what is worth celebrating. "The plan of a year is spring". Spring is a new beginning of a year, and it is my starting point. We should plan my life for a year and get better results.

The Spring Festival is very important to Chinese people. In the past，people could not often have meat，rice or other delicious food. They could only eat these during the Spring festival. So every year they hoped that the Spring Festival would come soon. Now， although people‘s life is much better，and we can eat the delicious foods everyday. People still like the festival. Because most people can have a long holiday，and we are free to go on a trip or visit our friends or have parties with our family. In the evenings，we can have a big meal in the restaurant or stay at home with family and watch the TV programs.

过年对中国人来说非常重要。在过去，人们往往没有肉，大米或其他美味的食物吃。他们通常只能在过年吃到这些。所以每年他们都希望过年可以快点来。现在，虽然人们的生活好多了，我和家人每天都可以吃美味的食物。人们仍然喜欢的过年。因为大多数人可以有一个很长的假期，我和家人可以自由地去旅行或拜访我和家人的朋友或与我和家人的家人聚会。晚上，我和家人可以在餐厅大吃一顿，或与家人留在家里看电视节目。

你可以玩烟花,但不要玩在房间里。我们可以吃很多中国菜,啊粽子、饺子…。今天可能是一个美好的一天,因为许多marry-cars在街上跑步。

年长的人总是说今天我们必须吃许多好运的食物。

我们祖国有悠久的历史，有着许多传统节日，还有一些各具特色的民风民俗。但我最喜欢的传统节日是：春节。除夕过了，春节也就到了，新的一年开始了。

Our motherland has a long history, there are many traditional festivals, and there are some distinctive folk customs. But my favorite traditional festival is the Spring Festival. The new years Eve has passed and the Spring Festival is coming, the new year begins.

除夕那天真热闹，家家赶做年菜，到处是酒肉的香味。男女老少都穿起新衣，门外贴上了红红的对联，屋里贴好了各色的年画。除夕夜家家灯火通宵，不许间断，鞭炮声日夜不绝。在外边做事的人除非万不得已，必定赶回家来吃团圆饭。这一夜，除了很小的孩子，没有什么人睡觉都要守岁。春节的光景与除夕那天截然不同：铺户都上着板子，门前堆着昨夜燃放的爆竹纸皮，全城都在休息。男人们午前到亲戚家朋友家拜年。女人们在家中接待客人。城内城外许多寺院举办庙会，小贩们在庙外摆摊卖茶，食品和各种玩具。小孩子们特别爱逛庙会，为的是有机会到城外看看野景，可以骑毛驴，还能买到新年特有的玩具。庙会上有赛马的，还有赛骆驼的。

The new years Eve that day lively, every new year is full of rushes, wine and meat smell. The men and women and the young and the young were all wearing new clothes, the door was red and red couplets, and the house was pasted with various years of painting. On New Years Eve, lights all night, no interruption, the sound of firecrackers day and night. Outside work unless people cannot but, must come home for family reunion dinner. That night, in addition to a very small child, not what people have to sleep staying-up late on new years eve. The Spring Festival was very different from the Lunar New Years Eve: operators are on the board, in front of a pile of cardboard last night fireworks, the city is at rest. The men before noon to relatives and friends at home pay New Years call. Women receive guests at home. In many temples outside the city, temple fairs were held. Peddlers sold tea, food and various toys outside the temple. The children loved visiting the temple, as is the opportunity to look at the scenery outside the city, you can ride a donkey, can buy new year special toys. There are horse racing and camels on the temple fair.

这些比赛并不为争谁第一谁第二，而是在观众面前表演马，骆驼与骑者的美好姿态与娴熟技能。“嘭”天空中五颜六色的。原来每年必放的烟花开始了，家家户户都把自家最美的烟花放上了天空，烟花在黑色的夜空中绽开来，一个比一个光彩夺目，天空中似乎正在举行一场选美比赛。美极了！所有人顿时停留在了那一刻，只听到烟花绽放时的惊叹声，大人们脸上露出了童真的笑容，开始回忆起自己的美好童年。

These games do not compete for the first second, but the good posture and skill of the horses, camels and riders in front of the audience. "Bang riotous with colour in the sky". The original annual fireworks will begin, every family had their most beautiful fireworks in the sky, the fireworks in the black sky split apart, than the one in the sky seems to The brightness dazzles the eyes., held a beauty contest. Beautiful! All of them stopped at that moment. They only heard the exclamation of fireworks. Their faces showed a childlike smile and began to recall their happy childhood.

同时，我们都悄悄许了愿望：希望今年我能以一个优秀的成绩考上一座中学！新的一年，新的开始。希望今年六年级的同学都一齐努力，用一个好成绩来创造自己的未来。

At the same time, we all quietly made a wish: I hope I can go to a high school with a good result this year! A new year, a new start. I hope that all the students in grade six will work together to create their own future with a good result.
