On Christmas morning， the children wake up very early. Some even turn on the light at two o‘clock， and most of them are awake by six o’clock although it is not light in England for another hour or two at this time of the year.

Children look for their presents ， and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared. At about one o‘clock in the afternoon， the Christmas dinner is brought in . The turkey or chicken is quickly eaten . Children search in their Christmas pudding for new coins which are hidden in it . The rest of the day is full of games and eating until the happiest of all Christmas hollidays comes to an end.

在圣诞节的早晨，孩子们很早就起床。有些人甚至在两点钟的时候开灯，但大多数人还是在六点钟醒的，虽然在英国这个时间就算再过一两个小时也还没有天亮。

在准备晚宴的时候，孩子寻找自己的礼物，年轻的玩耍。在下午约一点钟的时候，圣诞晚餐开始。火鸡或鸡肉被迅速吃掉。孩子们在他们的圣诞布丁寻找哪个隐藏了新币。在一天剩下的时间都充满了游戏和吃的，直到最幸福的各个圣诞假期结束。

I went to the Peoples Park with my family today. We had picnic in the

park. My mother and grandparents were preparing food, father was playing

badminton with his friend while I was reading under a tree.

今天我跟家人去公园。我们在公园野餐。我妈妈和爷爷奶奶准备吃的。爸爸跟朋友在打羽毛球，我在树下看书。

Once a child asked such a question: What can I benefit from being "a good

child"? Among the many answers he received one ran like this: "A good child" is

the most precious gift God gives to you. And the same can be said for being

honest. It pays to be honest.

Yes, its true that dishonesty exists almost everywhere in the society.

Consumers often found themselves being blackmailed by those merchants selling

shoddy products; and there are students

Cheating in order to pass the exams or get high marks; moreover, we are not

short of examples that many rich professionals evade the taxes by sacrificing

the interests of government.

But havent we seen their results? "A fall into the pit, a gain in

customers wit", which would surely drive those dishonest merchants out of

business. Regret of wasting time yet being

Empty-handed would accompany those dishonest students all their life. On

the contrary, we could have all they lost, especially a good reputation and a

clear conscience, which are the best qualities of human beings. Thats why we

say "It Pays to Be Honest".

I am planning to spend my summer holiday on sports this year.Playing

basketball is always my favourite,so some of my classmates and I will form a

small team and play basketball together.Sometimes we may have a match against

some other teams and I do enjoy the sense when we win the game.

我计划今年的暑假要花费在运动上.打篮球一直是我最热爱的,所以我的一些同学和我将会组建一个小队并且互相打比赛.有时我们可以和其他球队进行对抗比赛,我很享受当我们赢得比赛时的感觉.

亲爱的付老师，

我想让您知道我非常感激在我上初中的时候你给予的帮助和支持。我非常喜欢你做我的老师。你是一个优秀的教师，鼓励我以开放和积极的态度继续学习。

Iwould like to convey my heartfelt gratitude to you for teaching me what is responsibility. You helped me how to find the best place for myself and look forthe personal values. I remember you gave me a book as a present of the SpringFestival. You are the first teacher who gave me a present which I was moved fora long time.

我衷心的感谢你教会了我什么是责任。你帮我找到最适合自己的位置并和个人价值。我记得你曾给我一本书作为春节的礼物。你是第一个给我礼物的老师，这让我感动了很久。

虽然2007年的春节在悄悄地离开了我们,但那多姿多彩的春节在我的脑海中仍回味着.

春节那天,爷爷在墙上挂了两个大红灯笼,准备张灯结彩迎春节的到来.不仅我家挂上了红灯笼,春节到了家家户户都焕然一新,张灯结彩.光写春联,挂花灯,还要买烟花.爷爷买了一盘很大的烟花,有一百多筒,乐死我了.晚上又可以看烟花了.那烟花五彩缤纷,五颜六色,多姿多彩,五彩斑澜,我最爱看了.

到了晚上,大家都点亮了灯笼,吃起了香喷喷的年夜饭,饭桌上的菜很多很多,可以说是"满汉全席"了.吃完饭后,我的家人休息了一会儿,就要放烟花了."啪啪啪......’’一下子就出现了好几个"大圆盘’’,而且还是五彩缤纷的,非常漂亮.放完了烟花,大家都跑到屋里,打开电视,看春节联欢晚会.晚会绚丽多姿.有相声,小品,歌舞等......非常好看,尤其是小品公鸡下蛋,免费手机把我们一家人逗得捧腹大笑.

享受着香喷喷的年夜饭,观看着绚丽多姿的联欢晚会,品味着人生的乐趣,使我感悟到了多姿多彩的春节,象征着其乐无穷的生活.此时此刻我感到我是一个最幸福,快乐的人.

[多彩的春节初中作文

2017年到了，迎来了中国农历的鸡年春节。世界各国年的味道截然不同，过年的感受千差万别。过了一年，我又长了一岁，我对中国春节风俗的感受更加深刻了。

进入农历的腊月，欢度春节的气氛就越来越浓厚了，我的心情也越来越兴奋了。考完试，放了假，安排好寒假计划，完成了部分作业，我也融入了红红火火的过年气氛。

腊月的节点太多了。首先是腊七腊八冻坏脚丫、泡腊八蒜、喝腊八粥等等，老人说这就是过年的开始。

很快到了腊月二十三糖瓜儿粘，人称小年，要祭灶，要吃一种乳白色、味很甜、还粘（zhan）牙的东西，叫糖瓜儿。大人问我粘不粘（nian）？我说粘（年）！这是提醒大家要过年了！长辈要讲许多过年的趣事和嘱咐许多过年的忌讳。真好玩！有的我懂，有的我不懂，我总是好奇的听不够，问不够。

接着腊月二十四扫房日，二十五吃谷薯，二十六去割肉，二十七宰公鸡，二十八把面发，二十九蒸馒头，三十晚上熬一宿。这段时间每天都有很多说法，我可长见识了。现在急着过年，今天卖个关子，以后我可以仔细说说。

腊月三十，也叫除夕，是辞旧迎新、继往开来的吉祥时刻，此时进入春节的高潮，也是我最期盼、最快乐的时候。

白天大人们都忙着过年的各种事情，放松了对我的管束，我就彻底自由了，吃我爱吃的食品，喝我爱喝的饮料，玩我爱玩的游戏……开心极了！

晚上全家欢聚一堂。大家从厨房里端出美味佳肴放在桌上。煎炒烹炸、鸡鸭鱼肉、特色食品、各种饮料……妈妈端来炖鱼，说这是年年有余；爸爸端来饺子，说这是交子元宝；姑姑端来拼盘，说这是全家福；姑夫端来米饭，说这是团圆饭；奶奶端来一盘水果，有柿子、苹果、桔子、香梨，说取它们的谐音：事事平安、人人吉利；爷爷端来一盘年糕，有白米、黄面、双喜、八宝，说借它们的字音添岁增福、年年提高，人的岁数和身体要长高、知识也要提高。哈哈！我灵机一动，端来一摞奖状说这叫：辛兔祥瑞、龙腾虎跃（我属虎）……全家人说这是一道最丰盛、最如意的大菜。

全家人说说笑笑，尽享天伦之乐，尽尝美味佳肴。我不断举杯，给各位长辈敬酒并针对每人说上几句不同的祝福话，大家再次夸我懂事，给我加菜，有时还给我鼓掌，我心里美滋滋的，那个兴奋劲儿就别提了！

酒足饭饱，全家人看春晚、包饺子、侃大山……零点整，电视里的新春钟声敲响了，房间外的迎春鞭炮响成一片，我迫不及待地拉着家人下楼放炮。姑姑和妈妈提着一大包鞭炮，姑父和奶奶提着一大捆烟花一起下楼了。楼外的鞭炮已是震耳欲聋、烟云翻滚。开始我有点害怕，爸爸拿着鞭炮，爷爷领着我去点，邻居说：这叫双保险。我们几人合作先后放了一千响、坐地炮、窜天猴、夜明珠。后来我胆子大了，也想过把真瘾，让爸爸放好花炮，爷爷护着我去点，点着了我就跑，在我哈哈大笑中花炮窜上了夜空，随着一声声巨响，绽放出五光十色的礼花，有百鸟争鸣、吉祥如意、火树银花、万紫千红，我高兴地手舞足蹈、心花怒放。

炮竹声中一岁除，我又长大了一岁。回到楼上在一片欢声笑语中，我给长辈一一磕头拜年，他们给了我很多压岁钱。我在兴奋中一点睡意都没有了。！

无边光景一时新，新的一年开始了。龙年春节这是时间最长，内容最多，也是我最快乐的节日。

我的感受很多……我最大的感受就是龙的传人在龙年将会更加的幸福、美好……

[春节英语作文及翻译

每一个家庭都发生过很多有趣的故事，我们家也不例外，而且我们家的故事还和别人不同呢!

去年过春节的时候，正月初一，我们全家一起到人民公园去玩，那里热闹非凡，我玩的不想回家了。因为初二要去千佛山，爸爸说早点回家休息。我正玩在兴头上，本来很高兴的，可爸爸偏让我回家。我非常恼火，就和爸爸赌气，要挟他：“不玩就不玩!明天我不去千佛山了!”爸爸忍不下去，大吼一声：“好的!你明天就别想去千佛山了!在家里乖乖做作业、背英语!”本来我是想吓唬一下爸爸，那不想偷鸡不成，倒蚀一把米。我失声痛哭起来，心里委屈的不的了。大过年的，想痛痛快快玩玩儿都不成!哼!我越想越生气。

那天晚上，我躲在被子里哭了很久。姐姐看见我一直蒙在被子里哭，很心疼我，就帮我去求爸爸。过了一会儿她来告诉我：“别哭了，爸爸答应了，明天带你去千佛山。”

初二那天，爸爸果然带我们去了千佛山，那里下着大雪，白皑皑的，真是粉妆玉砌的世界。我们来到千佛山大门口，深一脚浅一脚地踩在雪地里，踩的雪咯吱咯吱地响，好玩儿极了。我们还没爬上山就无路可走了，不过我们非常开心，干脆借来滑雪板，在山坡上滑雪。我们还打了雪仗、堆了雪人、放了鞭炮，兴奋的不可开交。在我们痛痛快快玩儿的时候，爸爸给我们照了好多像，最后，我们还在千佛山的雪地里照了全家福，留为纪念。

看到这张全家福，我就想到了去年春节发生的事，还真为自己任性，哭鼻子感到不好意思呢!不过千佛山的雪景给我留下了美好的回忆!

春节是一个最热闹的日子。你想分享我过春节的快乐吗?那么就来听听吧!

春节是春天的节日，也是家人团聚的日子。吃团年饭咯!我们家来了好多客人。“开饭了!”妈妈大声叫道。今天的菜够丰盛的。有美味的火锅鱼，有麻辣的牛肉丝和牛肉条，还有肥嫩的鸡爪子、香气扑鼻的鸡汤、飘着蒜苗香的腊肉和香肠……。哦!我快忍不住了，津津有味地吃起来。大家举杯互说祝福语。我祝妹妹学习进步，天天向上。我祝爷爷、婆婆身体健康，寿比南山。我祝妈妈、阿姨越来越漂亮。我祝叔叔、舅舅工作顺利，多挣钱。最后我祝大家新年快乐，猴年大吉，牛气冲天。

春节联欢晚会开始啦!这里面的节目可多了!有让人开怀大笑的小品，有令人惊讶的魔术，还有声情并茂的歌曲和优美的舞蹈……。我最喜欢小品《黄豆黄》和相声《五官对话》。整个晚上我们家里都充满着欢乐的气氛。

新年的脚步越来越近了。妈妈说：“23时59分还是农历xx年，24时就是农历xx年了。”当24时到了，五颜六色的烟花不约而同地出现在天空中。红的如火，粉的似霞，白的像雪，美不胜收。把天空照得亮堂堂的。使人眼花缭乱，目不暇接。烟花千姿百态，有的像绽放开来的菊花，有的像翩翩起舞的蝴蝶，还有的像清亮的喷泉……。太美了!太美了!我想起了王安石的《元日》“爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏……”是啊!是啊!聆听着鞭炮的响声，迎接着新年的钟声，享受着欢乐的气氛。一年过去了!我又长大了一岁!

春节，你不要走啊!我真想天天都过春节。

[欢欢喜喜过春节初中作文

在我的记忆当中印象最深刻的就是过春节了，每当过春节的时候，家里边的亲朋好友，兄弟姐妹都会相聚在一起，一起吃饭，一起玩耍，一起讲述这一年发生的故事，所以春节也是我最期盼的一个节日。在我的记忆当中，有这样一个春节，让我永远不能忘记。

那一年的春节我还不到8岁，爸爸还在一家齿轮机械厂工作，妈妈在棉花厂当会计，生活虽然过得不富裕，但是却过得很开心，也很快乐，那一年春节我记得在大年三十的时候我们一家三口就到了爷爷奶奶家里，虽然我们对于春节没有那么多的繁文缛节，但是一些最基本的问候与祝福语是存在的，一进门我就给爷爷和奶奶磕了一个头，祝爷爷奶奶新年快乐，身体健康，奶奶赶快把我扶起来，笑嘻嘻的从她的左边衣服兜里掏出一张崭新的5元人民币，告诉我这是压岁钱，希望我好好学习。这样的习俗在我们家从我记事起就已经存在了，这么多年一直都是这样，尽管压岁钱的金额不是很多，但是这足以让我开心整个春节。不一会儿我的大伯、叔叔还有家里的大小孩子们，全都来到了奶奶的家里，大家手里提着大大小小的礼物，纷纷向爷爷奶奶祝福，祝贺新年。到了中午，我们一家人20多口人围在一张大桌子上，有说有笑，特别的开心。

吃过中午饭以后，大伯从别人手里借来了一个单反相机，要照一张我们的全家福，这么多年的春节我们从来没有照过人这样多的全家福，大家都占好位置，大伯叫别人给我们拍全家福，随着一声“茄子”，相机把我们这天的开心与快乐全部记录下来。

那一年的春节我非常的开心，因为见到了久违的小伙伴和平日里见的不多的亲戚朋友，我们有说有笑，在那一年以后我们就很少能够凑得这么整齐了，我非常怀念那一年的春节，尽管那时候的生活不是非常富裕，但是却非常的快乐。

我今年能够再过一次像那一年一样的春节。

There is an old saying goes that failure is the mother of success. Everyone

confronts with failures even those famous and successful figures. Some people

say that failure lashes them to work harder. Some think that failures are so

depressing and we should not to make any failures. For me, I cherish failures

very much for we can realize our shortcomings from them.

First of all, we can learn from failure and get more experience. It is

indeed so disappointed when we confront with failure. However, we can always get

some experience from failures and makes us understand our weak point. If we can

learn from failure, then we will avoid such problem in the coming days.

Secondly, the more failures, the more successful we will be. As the old

saying goes that failure is the mother of success. The more failure we make, the

more successful we will be. If we make many mistakes, then we will learn a lot

from them and will do better when we meet the same kind of problems. This means

we will obtain great success if we meet more failures.

All in all, failure is a bad thing for people, but it is a good chance for

us to learn more from it and become successful in the future.
