Spring Festival is the most solemn festival, spent the day the Chinese people rejoice together, although custom is different, but the joy is still rippling in everyones heart. According to the custom of our hometown, the beginning of the Spring Festival is around the twelfth month 20, a month, 20, every family began to prepare for New Years day, the children also put off.

Happy to play with friends, parents are busy in busy outside, all the prosperity of a busy year.

How time flies, suddenly arrived quickly when it gets dark. Moms cooking in our home but the best, so definitely want to taste her hearty dinner for us! Faced a table of delicious food, we are a large family sitting at the table, everyone is permeated with a happy smile on their faces, I really feel the taste of the "life is sweeter than honey"!

On New Years eve night, we are a group of friends, holding firecrackers, under the guidance of adults devolved firecrackers, blew up in the sky, a rainbow flower drill out, like a rainbow, colorful; And like a fairy flowers, give people happy, its beautiful! Put the firecrackers mom and dad and I went to see the Spring Festival party. Every lights, very lively.

The next day, the day not bright, mother urged me to hurry up, I got up, grandma and grandpa, dad and mum are up. Mother put wrapped dumplings yesterday, in the dish, we eat the steamed stuffed bun talking and laughing. Soon, it is day, most people wear new clothes to visit friends and relatives to elder happy New Year. Our house is not exceptional also, my parents and I all put on new clothes, appear more handsome dad, mom become more young and beautiful! "Will beep PaPa", the ringing of firecrackers welcomed on the first day, I and the daddy, mother go to relatives happy New Year. Walking, we came to grandmas house. Dad a grandma to me like knelt down to old woman kowtow, but was stopped by a grandma! "Well, what do you say you ke head! To eat melon seeds, a smoke!" "No no, I dont smoke!" . Thanks to the old womans house, we went to the aunt home, uncle happy New Year! Soon we finally finished thanks!   Blink at the beginning of the eight, the Spring Festival is over, everyone went back to the normal track, the work of the work, the school to go to school. A New Year begins, people are heading for a new life, new goals and efforts.

one day on my way home from school, i saw an old woman standing by the roadside①, with a heavy bag on her back. she seemed very worried. i went up to ask her what the matter was. the granny② told me that she had just come from the countryside to see her son, who worked in the steel works. as she had never been here before, she did not know the way to the factory. so i took her there. there was really a lot of difficulty in finding her son＇s place. the granny and her son were very thankful to me.

i got home very late, tired and hungry, but i felt happy, for i had done a good deed for the people.

will christmas replace the spring festival?

this worry is fairly unnecessary. why ? one reason lies that christmas only affects christians，college students and joint-venture (合资企业)workers. another reason is that christmas is mostly celebrated in cities. few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic(带有异国情调的) festival. by contrast，the spring festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family.

I think Mid-Autumn Day is an old traditional festival in China。 Everybody likes it because its a family get-together。 You see it is called"Mid-Autumn Day"， so it often es in September or October。 It is on the 15th of the 8th of the lunar month。 Now， lets say something about this interesting festival。

Firstly， Id like to say something about the moon。 I like it very much because I want to be an astronaut in the future。 That day the moon is round， big， just like a beautiful plate hanging on the blue cloth。 When I see the moon， I will remember the ancient myths——the godess Chang Er and her little rabbit are playing under the tree which Wu Gang grows。 I will also think about Armstrongs first moonwalk。 I will also miss the friends in Tai-wan island， in Macao and Chinese people who are abroad。 I know they are missing us very much， too。

Secondly， I11 say something about the tradition on Mid-Autumn Day。 Look!Theres a big tree in a garden of a Chinese fami-ly。 All the family members are sitting around a big table under the tree in the open air。 They are eating the mooncakes and admiring the full moon in the sky。 That is a family reunion dinner。 The mooncakes and the moon represent the love from a family。 I think this is one of the most valuable things in the world。

Thirdly，it is a very good opportunity to make three wishes on Mid-Autumn Day。 My wishes are: the first， I， an astronaut in the future， would like to go to the moon one day， and stay with the sky and stars; the second， I hope every person in the world will stay with family， share love from the family forever; the third， I hope everybodys dream will e true。

That is the Mid-Autumn Day in my mind。 I will always re-member: East or West， home is best。

我认为中秋节是中国古老的传统节日。每个人都喜欢它，因为它是一个家庭聚会。你看它被称为“中秋节”，所以通常在九月或十月。这是在农历八月十五日。现在，让我们谈谈这个有趣的节日。

首先，我想谈谈月亮问题。我非常喜欢它，因为我希望将来成为一名宇航员。那天月亮是圆的，大的，就像一块美丽的盘子挂在蓝色的布上。我看到月亮，我会记得古老的神话 - 长女和她的小兔子正在吴刚生长的树下玩耍。我也会想到阿姆斯特朗的第一次月球漫步。我也会想念台湾的朋友们岛上，澳门和国外的中国人。我知道他们也非常想念我们。

其次，我要谈谈中秋节的传统。看!中国家庭的花园里有一棵大树。所有的家庭成员都坐在树下的一张大桌子旁边露天。他们正在吃月饼，欣赏天空中的满月。这是一个家庭聚会晚餐。月饼和月亮代表了一个家庭的爱。我认为这是世界上最有价值的东西之一。

第三，这是一个非常好的机会，在中秋节做出三个愿望。我的愿望是：第一，我，未来的宇航员，有一天想去月球，和天空和星星呆在一起; 第二，我希望世界上每个人都能和家人在一起，永远地与家人分享爱意; 第三，我希望每个人的梦想都是真的。

那是我心中的中秋节。我将永远重新成员：东方或西方，家是最好的。

I am happy because my father and my mother could spend more time with me during the Spring Festival.Besides,on the eve of the Spring Festival,we had a great family reunion dinner and then we watched Spring Festival Party on CCTV1.Sometimes,I reviewed my lessons.I had a very wonderful holiday.

译文：

我很高兴因为春节期间我的爸爸和妈妈能够花更多时间和我在一起.而且,在新年前夕,我们一家吃了团圆饭,然后我们看中央电视一台的春节联欢晚会.有时,我复习功课.我度过了一个非常愉快的假期.

三年的等待，这刻终于到来！原以为毕业会很开心的，可是，事实并不是这样，毕业很伤感！

六月九日，毕业后的第一天，这天，我看见同学们脸上的笑容是如此的灿烂，毕业了，我们终于可以放松了！可是真的就那样开心么？

九日晚，咱们班举行了道别会，老师和同学在那摇曳的灯光下一一道别，一一发表感！一句句祝福语从他们她们口中说出来，小小的祝福乘载着沉重的友情！分别在即，虽没有大生痛哭，但也从那微笑脸庞上看出一丝无奈与浓浓的不舍之情！那一夜，我们疯狂过，把自己的压抑痛苦全全表达！而，疯狂之后是沉寂的教室！我们的心渐渐平静…

十日早，天气不是很好，乌云布满天空，小雨稀稀啦啦的在天空中飞舞。我很早来到学校，看到的是一个个行李箱，心中的凄清又浓郁起来！走进原本热闹的寝室，看到的是一片落没，无限伤感！有回到雨中，看到了忙碌的搬着行李的同学，心里一酸，眼泪差点流出。帮他们搬运完所有的行李，便就要道别…车子终于起动，我用力的挥手，心中一片不舍，天上的云也许读懂了我的心情，滴下了她的眼泪朦胧了我的眼睛！也许我们不会再见了！朋友，祝你们以后一片光明！随时间发展，同学朋友一个个都走了……

佛说：前生五百次的回眸，换来了今生的一次擦肩而过！我们彼此是过客，但三年，我们之间留下了许许多多的美好回忆！

相聚就是缘！

相离却是必然！

随着毕业的离歌唱响，我们都要分别！

毕业，我们开心，但在开心之后却一定有浓浓的伤感！我们难以忘怀我们一起走过的三年！

毕业了，我们伤感了……

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。

Everyone in our life should face something we hate, or some one we never want to face.

So,how can we face the difficulties.

Difficulties happen all the time, but do not be afraid of difficultys. Just go ahead withe what we are doing with a smile.Do cry and have a smile, which is the best way we can use to beat difficulties.Never

You see, no matter what difficulties we face, we always smile,dont we? So, earthquake we are not afraid because of our smile;H1N1, we are not afraid because of our smile....

Together forever no matter what happens,and, with a smile, trust that everything can be soved!

It was Mother’s Day. Sun Zheng thought he should do something for his mother.

He decided to help his mother do some housework. After school he went to a shop

to buy some food on his way home.

When he got home, he did his best to cook some nice food,though he couldn’t

do the cooking well. Thenhe cleaned the room. He felt very tired, but he was

very happy.

When his father and his mother came back and saw the clean rooms and dishes

which weren’t so nice, they were very happy.They had their supper together. His

mother said, "Thank you,my child!"

It’s New Year again. In this holiday, sharing is the hottest activity. People share their lives and discuss hot topic in social lives. Besides, there are many traditions during the Spring Holiday. For example, in the north, people will eat dumplings in the New Year’s Day while in the south people will make Zongzi. Firecrackers and fireworks are essential during the New Year. Now, people live a much better life than before, so people want to have a lively and grand festival. Some are likely to travel while some stay at home and take part in various activities to enrich their holiday.

春节又到了。在节日期间，分享成了最受欢迎的活动。人们分享自己的生活，讨论社会生活热点话题。此外，春节也有许多的传统。例如，北方人会在春节第一天吃饺子，南方人则会包粽子。鞭炮和烟花是必不可少的。现在，人们的生活比过去有了很大改变，所以人们希望把春节过得热闹而隆重。有的人选择外出旅游，有的人则是留在家里参加各种活动，丰富自己的节日生活。

一、遣词方面：用词要贴切而丰富，善用短语 ,词汇是语言的建筑材料，文章的好坏，选词很关键，如果用词精湛，就会使文章“亮”起来。

1、措辞要贴切具体

试比较下面句子：

A man is walking down the street.

A man is strolling down the street.

通过比较可以看出，前一句不如后一句表达得具体、生动。一个词如果内涵越具体，那么在特定的场景中恰当地使用它，就会收到意想不到的效果。很多同学写作时常随便用一个很笼统的词来描述一个具体事物或人，如 a nice man给人感觉很笼统空泛，我们可以用很多有个性的、具体的词描绘一个人，如 generous(大方的，慷慨的)，humorous(幽默的)，smart(漂亮的，潇洒的)，kind-hearted，warm-hearted，hospitable(好客的,招待周到的)，gentle(文雅的)，optimistic(乐观的)，easy-going(随和的)，spirited(英勇的)，cultivated(有教养的)，manly(有男子气概的)，knowledgeable(知识渊博的)等等。

2、要善于运用短语

短语用得好，会给评卷员留下深刻印象。如：

When he was a child，he wanted to learn everything.( 普通)

When he was a child，he had a strong appetite(胃口) for knowledge.(高级)

3、要避免汉语思维

用词要符合英语习惯，避免汉语思维的影响，如某些名词和动词搭配已约定俗成，不能随意打乱其搭配习惯，否则会显得生硬和词不达意。如汉语中的“学到知识”，英语中就不能说“learn knowledge”，而要说acquire knowledge (获得知识) 。类似的动宾结构还有achieve success (获得成功)，gain reputation (获得声誉)，attain ones end (达到目的)等。

二、造句方面：句式要准确而多变，活用复合句

简单句用得太多，会造成文章读起来乏味。在评卷员看来，同样意思的内容，能够运用比较复杂的句式结构来表达，当然会认为其运用语言的能力要比只会用简单句来表达要强，评分自然就高。

1、巧用非谓语动词

运用非谓语动词，可使文句看起来更简洁，使语言更加丰富多彩，重点更加突出，增加文采。如：

I covered my ears，trying to keep the noise out，but failed. (2004广东卷)

2、巧用with复合结构

“with+名词/代词+现在分词/过去分词/形容词/副词/介词”结构，常作伴随状语以增加被描绘内容的生动性和情感性，使文章读起来更简洁明了。试比较：

I couldnt go on studying because there was so much noise troubling me. (普通)

I couldnt go on studying with so much noise troubling me. (高级)

3、巧用复合句

高考评分标准强调使用语法结构的数量和复杂性，鼓励考生尽量使用较复杂的结构，并且对由此产生的错误采取了宽容的态度。如果恰当运用各类从句，就会使文章出彩。

如：(定语从句) Whats more，people have easy access to the Internet，which enables them to send and receive e-mails whenever they like.

4、巧用倒装句、感叹句、强调句、虚拟语气句等

使用这些句式可使文章化平淡为生动，加强语气，使评卷老师感受作者的强烈情感。

(倒装句)Only in this way can Internet Bars be well used by people.

(感叹句)I thought，“How hard mum is working! She must be very tired.”

5、巧用排山倒海句

如能运用一个个排比句、对偶句、不定式或短语，可令文章增色不少，会给评卷员眼前一亮的感觉。如：

The purpose of the program are to make our school more beautiful，to make the air cleaner and fresher，and to turn our school into a better place for us to study and live in.

三、谋篇方面：结构要清晰而流畅，巧用过渡词

众所周知，语言的最高层次不是传统语法所说的句子，而是语篇。语篇指的是一系列连接的语段或句子构成的语言整体。一篇好的文章不但句子正确，要点齐全，更重要的是有效地使用了语句间的连接成分。因此，恰当使用好连接性的词语和句子，是使作文获得高分的一个重要因素。

下列各组表示列举或补充的短语或句式非常实用，对高考写作很有帮助：

(1)Firstly...，secondly...，thirdly...，finally...

(2)In the first place...，in the second place...，in the third place...，lastly...

(3)to begin with...，then...，furthermore...，finally...

(4)to start with...，next...，in addition...，finally...

(5)first and foremost...，besides...，last but not least...

(6)most important of all...，moreover...，finally...

如果只有两层意思，可选用下列两组中的任一组：

(1)On the one hand...，on the other hand...

(2)For one thing..., and for another thing...技巧，希望对大家有帮助

Before the New Year’s Day, the Chinese people usually give their houses a good cleaning and on the last evening of the old year, all the members of a family will get together and have a big meal. On the first or second day of the new year, people usually go to visit their relatives and friends and give some lucky money to children.

[高中优秀英语作文：《春节》

There are many different kinds of food, such as dumplings, wontons, long noodles, yuanxiao, etc. People in the north are accustomed to eating dumplings in the New Year. More years of age. The meaning of. Because the white dumpling shape is like silver dollar treasure, the basin end table is symbolized. The New Year is getting rich. The meaning of. When some dumplings are made, some boiled water is disinfected with COINS, which means that whoever eats first can earn more money. The custom of eating dumplings was handed down from the han dynasty. According to legend, in the cold winter months of the medical saint zhang zhongjing, saw the poor peoples ears are frozen, and then made a kind of “ Remove the cold and sweet soup. Treat the poor with frostbite. He used mutton, pepper and some herbs to remove the cold and warm, and wrapped them in his ears. Jiao ear & throughout; Cook it in a pot and give it to the poor. When people eat it, they feel warm and warm. In the future, people follow the example of doing and continue to spread to this day. To eat wonton for the New Year is to take it for the first time. It is said that the world was a state of chaos before it was created, and the universe was made up of the four sides of the universe, the long face and the long face. A New Years day is a hundred years long.

Today is the Spring Festival. We go to have a New Years eve dinner. Today we dont eat at home like we used to.

As soon as we entered the hotel, we saw that the hall was full. We went to the door of one of the rooms and said, the songbird hall. Three words, walk in a look, the service aunt already in serving, have red like the red date of fire, green like grass lettuce, round like ball of abalone and so on. When we arrived, we began to eat with relish, and soon finished. After eating, they began to give out red envelopes. They wrote all kinds of good wishes. The lucky money was like a shy little girl, hiding herself in a red envelope. When we finished the New Years money, we went home to watch the biggest party the whole country had ever seen, the Spring Festival gala. "Pitter-patter". Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers outside the window sounded, I took my fathers hand, picked up the firecrackers and ran downstairs. Dad a little firecrackers, I went to a few metres away from the eaves hide, a moment later, dad came also, we are watching the firecrackers ring rocket into the sky, "pa" was in full bloom in the sky, some like eggs, some like a dandelion, and like all over the sky stars, so beautiful! The sound of firecrackers flashed on the cars light, as if to say: "happy New Year, all the best, the year of the horse." My father said to me, "the fireworks are beautiful, but they pollute the environment. We need to reduce the fireworks to protect the environment!"

Whatever one does, one should do it with confidence. If one has no confidence, there is little possibility that one would ever achieve anything, especially when one is faced with drawbacks or hardships. This troth seems to be self-evident. However, in reality we do see a lot of people who complain that they lack the ability to do ,something or that their difficulties are too great to be overcome,For someone, this might be true. But for many others, this only shows that they have lost heart.

Why do people often feel frustrated even though they are capable of doing some thing? There are, among others, two main reasons. First, these people do not have a correct estimate of themselves. Second, they overestimate the difficulties.

It is passible to build up faith in oneself by having the right attitude towards ones own abilities. We should never underesrimate our abilities but should believe in the proverb: "Where there is a will, there is a way." Confidence is the promise for fulfilling a task successfully.

Skiing is a desirable activity fro＇ young people. It provides the excitement that the youth is commonly seeking. The skiers can enjoy the thrill of gliding at tremendous speed down a gleaming,white mountain slope. Often, with split second tinting, they must dodge trees, stumps, and rocks——or find themselves suddenly sprawling in the snow. If they have more than average skill, they can sall through the air in breathtaking leaps and jumps that bring excitement to the onlookers as well. True, there is danger in this excitement,but that is a risk the youth enjoys. Furthermore, skiing is healthful.

It provides exercise, often very strenuous as the skiers trudge up a mountain path or work their way on skis up a slope of deep snow. The best of skiers know that they need strong muscles to successfully control their skis, so they exercise to keep themselves physically fit. Another desirable feature is the companionship that usually develops wherever skiers gather. Friendships grow quickly on the slopes and in the usual nearby shelter where the skiers find food, warmth, and rest. Their experiences of the day and their youthfulness easily draw these people together in happy fellowship.

I like spring festival because we are very happy on that day.Last festival we had a good time and I will never forget it.In the morning all my family were busy preparing for it.I helped to clean the house and my parents were cooking some delicious food.On that afternoon we had a big dinner.At night we made jiaozi and set off fireworks to celebrate the festival.In the meanwhile we watched TV.My parents gave me much lucky money.The next morning we said happy new year to everybody from door to door.
