The thought of eating, Im talking, busy parents suggested to do this and that, my mother is a chef, so do what the referee decided by her mother, said: “ for a long time did not eat dumplings, eat some dumplings package, the Spring Festival Spring Festival Spring Festival greetings "fun, fun". ” we all agree very much.

After deciding what to do, we did the division, dad made meat stuffing, mom rubbed noodles, and my sister and I burned water. We do are very strong, less than half an hour, meat stuffing ready, dumplings are ready, water fast boiling. My mother will skillfully wrap dumplings, my sister and I also learn to pack up, I managed to pack three, exhausted, its very difficult to learn! Mother said: “ I would be born to do it, not to eat bitterness, hard to study, how can I learn well? ” I was a little ashamed, and I learned the lesson, put up the sails again, and made it true, and it did a little faster. This makes me understand the truth: it should be hard to learn anything.

After about more than 20 minutes, rub the face have all made dumplings, my sister and I have boiled water in the pot brew storms on rivers and seas. Mother put the dumplings in the pot and boiled it. Mother in the middle also added some seasoning, make dumplings more delicious, after about more than 10 minutes, the mother put the dumplings out, divided into four bowls, each bowl also put some soup. My mother had just made the soup, and I had a bowl of relish. Because of eating too fast, the tongue is hot and spicy.

All of us were full of oil, and we were happy to watch the wonderful TV programs.

Ah, its a happy Spring Festival!

The Spring Festival is here, and the couplet is also attached to the couplet. Today, we have a couplet together. I saw my dad playing the couplet as if they were fun, so I had a quarrel to stick. Dad said to me, "the couplets should be posted right, and they are all grown up. What do children stick to?"

At this time, I saw my father put the Fu paste back, I said, "Dad, the Fu sticker is opposite!" Dad said, "come over to represent the meaning of Blessing, do you understand?" "Oh, I have learned new knowledge." And I also know the last word on the one or two, the last word is to distinguish between the upper and lower three or four. On the face on the right, lower left attached to the knowledge. Im so happy!

At this time, the sound of the outside of the sound of firecrackers ringing, but I do not feel hard to hear. It may be that the joy of learning new knowledge is better than the unpleasant sound of a firecracker. So it wont be hard to hear.

Look at the red couplets, listening to the sound of fireworks, "good" thinking, learn the new knowledge of the great joy.

The old man, how I want you to stay in this nice firecracker! Even for a moment, it is also beautiful, and it makes me feel endless.

Because only once a year, the new year, the scene is so nostalgic!

I stood at the window, overlooking the wide street downstairs. High red lanterns on the streets, five colored flags fluttered in the wind, the motorcar is in array, two words: lively.

The new year is coming, people fall over each other to buy special purchases for the Spring Festival. The store is crowded with customers, some for children or old people, and others for their own choice. In a few moments, the new style and unique style of clothes were snapped out.

The supermarket is a sea of people. The shoppers were lined with long lines, carrying small bags. The supermarket added a few more cash machines, but it was still not enough. The cashier to help out. The salesman kept up the goods in the container.

The food market, it is packed, everyone wants in on New Years Eve festival. The peddlers did not miss the good opportunity to raise the price. For example, pork is usually 13 yuan a kilogram, now it rises to 22 yuan, and mustard usually costs 1.5 yuan per kilogram, now it rises to 4 yuan. Lobster usually costs 10 yuan at a time, now it rises to 15 yuan, though, it still keeps on buying.

There are many customs in Spring Festival in China. One of them is the Spring Festival couplets. Everyone picks up Spring Festival couplets on the streets. After picking up and selecting carefully, they choose their satisfied Spring Festival couplets and paste them home. Families with festive couplets, in order to bless the family can have good luck in the new year.

In addition to wearing new clothes, children are most happy to receive red envelopes. Every year you can receive a considerable amount of money to use it to buy what you like, and you say children are unhappy.

The new year is really busy!

I think reading as the most rewarding entertainment activities in my spare time.

Not only does reading provide me with a wide range of knowledge, it also broaden my mind towards the world. Different sorts of books contain various thoughts of life, work, relationships and cultures. When reading a novel, I can experience joys and tears of the characters through one story after another. When it comes to a biography ,I can even speak to the great person as if he stood towards me. Don’t always regard reading as tools to prepare for exams or show off how knowledgeable the person is.

A true reader is the person who shows knowledge naturally while communicate with others. Reading indeed has an important impact on people’s behavior, which is the reason why I will never give it up.

Spring Festival is our traditional festival, as the saying goes, Chinese New Year.

On the day before the New Year, people go shopping in crowded stores. Some people buy chickens, ducks, geese, some people buy fish and meat, others buy biscuits, chocolate and other snacks...

One afternoon, my father took a broom and swept the house up and down. Mother rubbed the table and Windows clean with a duster. And I? It is to stick the decorations on the wall. The whole house became clean and beautiful. We were very happy.

Chinese New Year, for our children, is the most enjoyable, I look forward to that day.

爆仗声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏——题记

跟着耳边一阵又一阵熟习的爆仗声，年味儿也越来越浓了。眼睛看到的，耳朵听到的，鼻子闻到的都是满满的喜庆。

春节来了，我们十分快乐，家家户户都贴上了春联，还有“福”字，“倒福”是“福到了”的意思。关于“春节”的发源，有一种传说是：中国古时分有一种叫“年”的兽。“年”，头长触角，凶猛异常。“年”常年深居海底，每到特定的一天(就是如今的大年节)才爬上岸，吞食家畜损伤人命。是以，每到大年节是日，村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼逃往深山，以规避“年”的损伤。有一年大年节，从村外来了个乞讨的白叟。同乡们一片慌忙惊恐情景，没有人理睬他，只要村东头一位妻子婆给了白叟些食物，并劝他快上山规避“年”，那白叟把胡子撩起来笑道：“婆婆若让我在家呆一夜，我必然把‘年’赶走。”妻子婆持续挽劝，乞讨白叟笑而不语。

所以春节必然要放烟花

各色各样的烟花把天空打扮得花花绿绿的，“礼花”直冲云霄，“嘭”一声炸开了，天空登时变得五彩斑斓，那微弱的火药却像七彩花一样绽放着。可好戏不长，“礼花”从天空中渐渐变淡，变淡，直至云消雾散;那里，一股冲击般的银光吸引了我的留意，它起劲的向上喷着，喷着。落下的便义无反顾跳出了银光，就仿佛珍珠不计其数从空中失落落，给人极美的感受;“噼噼啪啪，噼噼啪啪”，这震耳欲聋的响声必然是鞭炮!那繁华的的声响，也足以给2013增添许很多多的喜庆了。

那里冷飕飕的，旺火烧了起来，并且愈演愈烈，橙色的火苗上下翻腾，仿佛在呼叫着什么，也仿佛在喜悦地跳舞。人，物，中国，将春节愈演愈烈，带来了2013的新景象形象!

富丰年味儿的春节，富有情面味儿的人。

房屋装饰之一就是在门上贴对联。在春联上，抒发良好的祝愿。春联通常是成对张贴，因为双数在中国文化中是好运气和吉祥的象征。

在中国北方，人们习惯于在窗户上贴剪纸。人们既在窗户上贴剪纸，又在大门上贴上大大的红色汉字“福”字，一个红色“福”字意味着好运和财富，因此习惯上在婚礼，节日之类的吉祥场合中，人们都会在门或墙上贴“福”字。

我爱我的家，爱爸爸、妈妈，他们也非常爱我，一个幸福的大家庭。

暑假里，大多数就我一个人在家里，爸爸、妈妈都要上班，可是有一天早上，8点了，爸爸、妈妈都还没有出门，我十分好奇，就问爸爸：“爸爸，你们怎么不上班啊？”爸爸笑着说：“暑假都是你一个人在家，今天，我们就陪你玩一天！”我开心地笑了。

想了好久，我们终于想出了一个游戏，它既可以学习，又可以玩——“英语单词比赛”。我、爸爸、妈妈三人轮流做裁判，共3轮，每一轮有2关，第一关是必答关，第二轮是抢答关，谁先举手就先回答，答对一题加一分。

比赛开始了。妈妈先做裁判。妈妈问爸爸：“苹果英语怎么说?”“苹果，苹果……”爸爸答不出来，急得抓耳挠腮。第二个问题：“library图书馆怎么拼？”“嗯，l-i-b-r-a-r-y！对吧。”“答对了，加一分。下一题，自行车怎么说？”“啊，这个我知道，bike。”“嗯，再加一分。”现在轮到我了，我十分自信，有十分认真。“地铁怎么拼？”“s-u-b-w-a-y。”“对，加一分。”……时间过去了很久，我做完裁判了，接下来，该爸爸做裁判了。爸爸一直对着我们笑，感觉不怀好意，似乎会出很难的题。“电影院怎么拼1、2、3.”我飞快地举起了手：“c-i-n-e-m-a。”“对了，加一分。第二题，国家怎么拼？”我想了一会，举起了手，而一旁的妈妈早就举手了，这次只能失去机会了。

十分钟过去了，二十分钟过去了，半个小时过去后，我们的比赛结束了，我、妈妈、爸爸的比分是20：19：13。“我赢啦！”我高兴地一蹦三尺高。咦，爸爸呢？奥，原来他正拿着英语书补习呢：“下周我们再来吧！”“好啊！”我和妈妈齐声说。

瞧！我们在一起多开心，我有一个幸福温暖的大家庭！

Dont Waste Water

A man is washing his clothes, regardless of the notice above "Save the Water Please."

As we see ,water is the source of life. But there is a very limited available water resource in our world. So we shouldnt waste it. Of course, we have to use it to drink, cook, wash, clean and etc. But we must remember not to use it extravagantly. If we didnt stop such wasteful habits, we would cut off the development of the world and the human life.

我的家乡是洛阳，那里有许多习俗，元宵节吃汤圆，清明节祭奠死去的亲人，但这里有一个习俗由来已久——那就是贴对联。

春节是我们中国人最看重的节日，因为它象征着团圆，有一个传说说道：春节时，有一个名叫年的怪兽来抢东西，但有一个老爷爷知道，年怕红色的东西，于是，每逢春节，我们便在门口贴红色的对联，穿红色的衣服，放鞭炮，以防年来侵袭。

20xx年的时候，我就和家人们度过了一个难忘的春节。

那天晚上，妈妈，姑姑煮饺子，我和爸爸妹妹便到门口贴对联，我双手紧握对联，妹妹拿着胶水，爸爸带着我们来到了门口。爸爸喊：“胶水！”妹妹赶紧递上去，他又喊：“对联！”我抽了一张给他，只见他一手拿胶水，一手拿对联，把胶水往对联上一挤，“啪”的一声，拍上门框，又照葫芦画瓢，将另一张也拍了上去。然后，甩着大手进去了，边走边喊：“贴——好——了——！”听爸爸这么一喊，大家都跑来看，可在“欣赏”了爸爸的“作品”后，大家捧腹大笑，笑完后，妈妈告诉他：“你贴反了！”爸爸疑惑不解的问：“怎么贴反了？”“对联分上下联和横批两部分，上联贴右边，下联贴左边，横批贴中间，你看你是不是贴反了？”姑姑回答。爸爸看了看，赶紧揭下来，重新贴，之后我们一起吃饺子，看电视，一个美好而又甜蜜的春节就这样过去了。

这一次过春节，我不仅知道了对联应该怎么贴，还领略了中国传统的源远流长，连贴一张小小的对联也有讲究。

The spring Festival is coming soon！ The festivel is considereded the most important one for Chinese people。 It is on the first day of lunar year。 It is also the day of reunion among family members。 During these days， people would say "happy new year！ or wish you make fortune！ to each other。 They would also visit their relatives and friends。 Children would be given "red packets"。 Children would have more to eat and play than usual。Playing firecrackers is also a popular game for children。

人们过的春节各种各样、丰富多彩。我的春节因为妹妹的出生而与众不同。

正月初五那天，吉星高照，民间传说那天是新年财神到来的日子。初四晚上，大家开始准备迎财神的工作。大街上热闹非凡，安静的夜晚一下子热闹起来。12点的钟声敲响了，人们欢呼得就像沸腾的热水，就在此时此刻，我的妹妹出生了！

她有一双大大的眼睛，胖嘟嘟的小脸，肥肥的身体，很像我。很多亲人都来了，有的逗她笑，有的抱了一下，有的摸了摸她，有的哄她睡党，有的放歌给她听……她有的时候会笑，真像一个可爱的小娃娃。她不仅可爱，因为在迎财神这一天出生，还是我们家族的小财神，我希望她能好好学习，天天向上，能开开心心地过好每一天，又是一个乖巧懂事的好孩子。我们家过年不仅气氛好，而且还在初五这一天增添了一个小财神，真是喜上添喜呀！

我的妹妹是个小财神，她的到来，让我成了一个大姐姐。我很喜欢她，我相信，我们一定是一对最好的姐妹！

大家好！我叫茅庆东，今年13岁了，在金碧实验学校读书。

Hello everyone！ My name is Mao Qingdong. I am 13 years old and I am studying at the Golden Blue experimental school.

小的时候，别人说我像个男孩子，没错，我的确没点孩子的样儿。我像猴儿一样，以开心起来，像疯了似的，一个劲儿地跳。爸爸说习惯成自然，别再跳了！可是我哪儿会听呢？

When I was young, people said I was a boy. Yes, I did not have a child. I like monkeys like to laugh, like crazy, a kick to jump. Dad said that the habit was natural, dont jump again! But where can I hear it?

我的爱好是数学和英语。数学老师和英语老师非常喜欢我，特别是英语老师，对我，总摆出那张慈祥的脸孔，数学老师也一样，每次都以娃娃脸来面对我，而我的数学和英语成绩总是很好的。当然，语文也一样。

My hobbies are math and English. Math teachers and English teachers like me very much, especially English teachers. They always show Zhang Cixiangs face to me. As for math teachers, they always face me with dolls, but my math and English scores are always good. Of course, the same is the same in Chinese.

我喜欢西瓜和芒果，他们的味道非常好，你也不妨去试试!

我是个好胜心非常强的人。考试时，别人比我考得好，我不服气，平时更加努力，结果取得了更好的成绩，因为我知道，只有海胜心腔的孩子，才会取得成功！

I am a very strong person ambition. In the exam, others did better than I did. I was not convinced, usually I worked harder, and I got better results, because I knew that only the children of Haisheng heart cavity could succeed.

我的优点是勇敢，我勇敢地去参加所有的竞赛，而且已参加，就必须给捧个证书回来，否则，我是不会甘心的。我的缺点是不爱举手回答问题，我也常对自己说，难道我的手就如千斤这么重么？怕什么？明天我就举手！可是到了第二天，我又像老鼠那样，缩到地洞去了，不是我会改正它的。

My advantage is bravery. I am brave to take part in all the competitions, and I have to take part in, and I have to give a certificate back. Otherwise, I wont be willing to be willing. My shortcoming is that I do not love to raise my hand to answer the question, and I often say to myself, is my hand as heavy as a kilo? What are you afraid of? Ill raise my hand tomorrow! But on the second day, I was like a mouse, and I shrunk to the cave, and I wouldnt correct it.

这就是我，你喜欢我么？

This is me. Do you like me?

我嘛，总是留着平头，我的眉毛挺浓，眼睛很黑、亮亮的，虽然不大。镶在我这张脸上倒也挺合适。嘴闭起来挺好看的。哦，忘了告诉你们我的名字了，我叫王蒙。

我和同学相处得都很好。我不爱生气，整天乐呵呵的。生气会气死脑细胞，所以我和同学发生矛盾时，我基本上能够忍让。同学请我办事，我总是尽力而为，可有时我也很腼腆，那是在别人夸奖我的时候。有时还挺莽撞，妈妈说我是“小冒失鬼”。

粗心就是我一个很大的毛病，因此作业时常出错。可我就不信改不了。你们看吧，新学期里我一定改掉它，由“大粗心”变成个“小细心”。

看书是我最大的爱好，那些小说、杂志、科技作品，我拿起来就放不下－──迷住啦！我常被书中的情节和人物所感动，一会儿抽泣、一会儿咯咯大笑，完全是身临其境。

别看我挺瘦，我还喜欢体育呢！我特喜欢打乒乓球，在班里还算是个高手。我还喜欢音乐、美术，妈妈说我兴趣挺广泛的。

好，就谈到这儿，欢迎大家和我交个朋友 。

找优点谈体会：

I am from Xian,the capital city of Shanxi province,which is considered as one of the cradles of Chinese civilization. The more than 1100 years history of thirteen feudal dynasties,from the Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty,leaves the city abundant historical and cultural heritages.When yo step out of Xian railway station,the world-renowned city wall,built in Ming dynasty,will come your view.Walking around this city,you can feel its profound history everywhere.

Qingqiang opera is quite popular in this area which is characterized by its straightforwardness and enthusiasm,so the people here are no exception.If you are in trouble,we will always come to help you as soon as possible.Besides good nature,we are strict with our work,persistently pursuing high quality.For example,the famous director,Zhang Yimou, attaches high importance to every detail of his works,including the theme,the actors and the frame.As a result,his works enjoy wide popularity and reputation.Growing up in such a beneficial environment ,gradually,I develop a spirit of integrity,diligence and earnestness.

Last but not least,we are extremely hospitable and so welcome to Xian.
