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 programmes。

I like the Spring Festival very much。How wonderful the Spring Festival is!

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.

The caterpillar of the tree outside the window has broken the cocoon into a butterfly, dance, began its life of another starting point, the beginning of the beginning of the beginning of the composition 800 words: school begins. I am also going to high school to start a new journey.

.

Look through the window and watch the sunset. The sun is slowly disappearing from the horizon, less and less. Just like my vacation, its almost over, and the school year begins slowly in the countdown.

Two months of free and unfettered, the new semester is coming. I cant help thinking how quickly the free time passed. Think about it, you can see the students and teachers who have not met for two months, and there is a little excitement in the heart. But, the study that is about to be put into intense study, every day in the question of the ocean flight, seldom have a weekend also cannot relax tone, rest a rest, in the heart add a little bit of anxiety. I was reluctant to say goodbye to my two months of vacation, and how time passed so quickly.

Six years of primary school life is over and will soon be entering secondary school.

High school, a strange and familiar word, it contains a trace of mystery. Once upon a time, I wondered: what would life be like in middle school? Is it nervous? Or something else? Will I be assigned to a class with former primary school students? Will you meet new classmates and be friends? Will your grades be the same as now? Better or less? Everything is uncertain.

There have been numerous fantasies: facing the chaoyang, walking on the road to school; Walking the sunset, walking on the way home. Fresh morning, running on the campus streets; Warm afternoon, walk on the campus path. On the early spring morning, playing with my classmates in the playground. In the summer evening, under the tree of the campus to rehearse programs; On autumn afternoon, read in the school chair; On a winter morning, I have a snowball fight with my classmates and make a snowman... How comfortable these are.

Listen to the adults say, middle school this stage is very important, want to lay a good foundation, later learn to be not tired. There was once a senior (higher grade than me, she is very good, is a very good sister) said to me: "high school is important at this stage, and all are for learning, everything else is secondary." The meaning of senior makes me feel very much. Thank you, senior. Lets cheer together!

The sunset, but tomorrow will rise from the east, I will start my new journey with a new look!

窗外树上的毛毛虫已破茧成蝶,翩翩起舞,开始了它生命的又一个起点。我也即将升入中学,开始人生的新一段路程。

——题记

透过窗户,看着日落。太阳慢慢从地平线消失,越来越少,越来越小。就像我的假期,也快结束了,开学在倒计时中慢慢迎来。

度过了自由自在、无拘无束的两个月,马上要迎来新的学期。不禁感叹道短暂的自由时光过得真快。转念想想,开学后又可以见到两个月未曾谋面的同学和老师,心里就有一丝兴奋。但是,即将投入紧张的学习状态,每天在题海里遨游,难得有个双休日也不能松口气,歇一歇,心里又添了些许焦虑。恋恋不舍的告别了两个月的假期生活,又埋怨时间为什么过得这么快。

六年的小学生活结束了,即将踏入中学。

中学,一个既陌生又熟悉的词,它蕴含着一丝神秘。曾经无数次思考着:中学生活会是什么样的呢?是紧张吗?还是别的什么?会和曾经的小学同学分到一个班吗?会认识新同学并成为朋友吗?上了中学以后学习成绩会和现在一样吗?是更好还是会下降呢?一切都是个未知数。

曾经也无数次幻想:迎着朝阳,走在上学的路上;踏着夕阳,走在回家的路上。清新的早晨,奔跑在校园的街头;温暖的午后,漫步在校园的小路上。初春的早晨,和同学们在操场嬉戏;夏天的傍晚,在校园的大树下排练节目;秋日的午后,在学校的椅子上看书;冬日的上午,和同学们在一起打雪仗、堆雪人……这些是多么惬意。

听大人们说,中学这个阶段很重要,要打好基础,以后学起来才不会累。曾经有一个学姐(她比我高一年级,很优秀,是个非常好的姐姐)对我说:“中学这个阶段很重要,一切要以学习为主,别的都是次要的。”学姐这番意味深长的话,使我有很大的感悟。谢谢你,学姐,那让我们一起加油吧!

夕阳西下,但是明天又将从东方升起,我会以崭新的面貌,开始人生的新一番旅程!

Christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in China。 Christmas cards bee popular with students。 People hold Christmas parties and exchange Christmas girts。 A lot or TV and radio programs about Christmas are on。 Meanwhile the Spring Festival is less appealing to youngsters。 Thus some people wonder whether Christmas will replace the Spring Festival。

This worry is fairly unnecessary。 Why ? One reason lies that Christmas only affects Christians,college students and joint-venture workers。 Another reason is that Christmas is mostly celebrated in cities。 Few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic festival。 By contrast,the Spring Festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family。

I think,it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the West,a lot of Western holidays have been gradually introduced into China。 For us Chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals。 For centuries Chinese have observed this traditional holiday to wele the beginning of a new year。 And we will treasure the Spring Festival forever。

Where There is Life, There is Music

What is music, no one can explain.

Just imagine for a moment that you are sitting in a magnificent concert

hall. The conductor waves his shiny baton with a graceful swing through the air.

A beautiful melody floats slowly around you

You sit quietly with your eyes shut, your heart open. The delicate vibratos

of the violins carry you to a mood of heavenly bliss. An airy solo of the flute

draws you to the imagination, the notes flow like some jumping swallows dancing

and singing calling for the coming of Spring.

I like music from my childhood. My father often says when I was a baby I

would never go to sleep without soft, beautiful lullabies crooning around my

ears . Now music is a part of my life. When I feel tired, disappointed or in low

spirits, I usually turn to music. Music, nothing but only music can have so

wonderful an effect on my heart, on my pond of feeling.

Music comes with us. Where there is life, there is music. Where there is

music, there is hope. It lies in everyday life, in everyone’s life, in

everything we see, in everything we hear-- in the rhythm of the sea, in the

whisper of a gentle wind, in the melody of a bird’s singing, in the harmony of

village chimes. You can hear music wherever you may go . A man who doesn’t know

music will lose half the world. A nation that pays little or no attention to

music will be a sad nation. A world without music would be the one for the dead

and devils.

So dear friends, let’s open our arms to embrace music and enjoy it

throughout our lives. Love music and love life.

Thank you.

哪里有生活,哪里就有音乐

音乐是什么,无人能解释清楚。

想象此刻你正坐在富丽堂皇的音乐大厅里,乐队指挥手中的闪闪发亮的指挥棒在空中优雅的舞动。悠扬悦耳的音调飘扬在你的周围。

静静地闭上双眼,敞开心扉。小提琴精妙的振颤会把你带入到天堂祈福的心境;大提琴微弱低沉的叹息会使你想起一位老人在风中散步,沉浸在童年时代宁静和挚爱的回忆中;长笛轻快的独奏使你从想象中猛醒;流畅的音符像一群飞舞歌唱的燕子在呼唤春天的来临。

从童年时代音乐就是我的挚爱。父亲经常说,我在襁褓中,没有温柔甜美的摇篮曲在耳边低吟,就难以入眠。现在音乐是我生活的一部分。每当我感到疲倦,失望或情绪不振时,我就求助于音乐。音乐,除了音乐,没有什么对我的身心和情感有如此奇妙的影响。

音乐与我们同在,哪里有生活,哪里就有音乐;哪里有音乐,哪里就有希望。它存在于每个人的日常生活,存在于我们耳闻目睹的一切事物之中;存在于海的波涛,清风细语,悦耳鸟鸣,和谐的乡村钟声之中;无论你身在何处,都会听到音乐。一个不了解音乐的人将失去半个世界。一个不重视音乐的民族将是一个悲哀的民族。一个没有音乐的世界将是逝者和恶人生存的世界。

亲爱的朋友,让我们伸开双臂去拥抱音乐,在人生中享受音乐的乐趣。热爱音乐,热爱生活。

谢谢大家。

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.
