The traffic problem is one of the most serious problems in my hometown.

Recently, more and more people have private car, but the roads are so narrow

that we have to fight against the heavy traffic when we go out. Especially

during the rush hours, cars and buses are unable to move. To make things worse,

many people are killed in the traffic accidents. How miserable it is!

For the sake of our life and security, some measures must be taken to

change the present situation. In the first place, as there are a great many

cars, we should control the number of private cars and vehicles and use the

public transportation more often. Secondly, the government should widen the

roads and build more flyovers, so as to ease the traffic pressure and reduce the

traffic accidents. In addition, the undergrounds and light rails should be

constructed, so that we can have more choices when going out and do not have to

worry about the traffic jams in the future.

I believe the traffic problem could be solved if we devote our actions to

them.

With elementary school knowledge, with the character of primary school, with primary school habits, we entered the junior high school gate, at this time, we have become a veritable junior high school students. We are faced with the first turning point in our life, exciting and exciting.

Entering the class, everything is strange, strange students, strange teachers, even tables and chairs are strange, I am happy, I am lonely.

Look at the timetable. Im almost shocked. So many classes, what history, biology, geography... Its so scary. And this is the textbook, I have never touched, I am happy, I am helpless.

In class, or the teacher speaks too fast, or I do not have books, and do not listen, I lost, I confused. If I listen carefully, even to the realm of self denial, I rejoice, and I rejoice.

Ah! This magical first day! Turn me into a sentimental person, turn me into a sentimental person, change me into a wise and sensible person, and turn me into a person who knows how to value time.

Now I realize how beautiful this new stage and new life are!

带着小学的知识,带着小学的性格,带着小学的习惯,我们踏进了初中的大门,此时,我们已是名副其实的初中生。我们面临着人生中第一个转折点,又是激动,又是兴奋。

看看课程表,我差不多快惊呆了,这么多门课,什么历史呀、生物呀、地理呀......真是多得让人感到可怕。而且这是课本都是我从没接触过的,我欢乐,我无助。

上课时,或是老师讲得太快,或是我没有书,而听不进去,我失落,我迷茫。若我听得很认真,甚至到了“忘我”的境界,我喜悦,我欢腾。

啊!这神奇的初一啊!把我变成了一个多愁善感的人,把我变成感情丰富的人,把我变成一个乖巧懂事的人,把我变成一个懂得珍惜时间的人。

现在,我才领悟到,初一这个新阶段、新生活是多么美好啊!

The first day is for the welcoming of the deities of the heavens and earth, officially beginning at midnight. Many people, especially Buddhists, abstain from meat consumption on the first day because it is believed that this will ensure longevity for them. Some consider lighting fires and using knives to be bad luck on New Years Day, so all food to be consumed is cooked the day before. For Buddhists, the first day is also the birthday of Maitreya Bodhisattva (better known as the more familiar Budai Luohan), the Buddha-to-be. People also abstain from killing animals.

Most importantly, the first day of Chinese New Year is a time when families visit the oldest and most senior members of their extended family, usually their parents, grandparents or great-grandparents.

Some families may invite a lion dance troupe as a symbolic ritual to usher in the Lunar New Year as well as to evict bad spirits from the premises. Members of the family who are married also give red packets containing cash to junior members of the family, mostly children and teenagers.

While fireworks and firecrackers are traditionally very popular, some regions have banned them due to concerns over fire hazards, which have resulted in increased number of fires around New Years and challenged municipal fire departments work capacity. For this reason, various city governments (e.g., Hong Kong, and Beijing, for a number of years) issued bans over fireworks and firecrackers in certain premises of the city. As a substitute, large-scale fireworks have been launched by governments in cities like Hong Kong to offer citizens the experience.
