+ 加入清单The tomb sweeping day is one of the traditional festivals in China. On
April 5th, people start to visit their ancestors’ tombs. Generally speaking,
people will bring the home-made food, some fake money and paper-made mansion to
their ancestors. When they start to honour their ancestor, they will light up
some candles and incense, put some flowers around the tombs. The most important
thing is to put the home-made food in front of the tombs. The food, also known
as sacrifices, is usually made up with a chicken, a fish and some pork. It’s a
symbol of the offspring’s respect to the ancestors. People believe that the
forbears will share the food with them. The children dedicate the food and money
to their forbears in order to show their love and caring. The young offspring
will go down on their knees and pray for their ancestors. They can say their
wishes in front of the tombs and the ancestors will make their dreams come
true.
In some provinces of China, people use different activities to commemorate
this day, for instance, spring-outing, swinging, tree planting and making
special food. One special food is Ay Tsao rice balls. It looks like Tang-yuan,
but its colour is green. Mix the ay tsao juice with the rice powder, then make
it into small balls. The Ay Tsao rice ball is done. People believe that eating
ay tsao rice balls can get rid of the bad luck and everything will go smoothly.
Other activities such as spring outing, tree planting are the other ways to
commemorate the forbears. For one thing, it is a sign that people should look
into the future and embrace the hope; for another thing, we do hope our ancestor
rest in peace.

+ 加入清单There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.
But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and
cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the
higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light
each year.
One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven
in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny
of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided
when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.
Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the
emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to
bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of
the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he
proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would
last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.
Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the
Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of
the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of
entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which
they pray for good fortune.
Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival
speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted
and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because
the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy
the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this
plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.
The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their
imminent destruction.
However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should
hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and
explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the
village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar
day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw
that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the
Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.
From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every
year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and
fireworks.
There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is
about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the
emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying
and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her
and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was
Yuan-Xiao.
She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the
palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the
chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern
promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern
left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised
himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for
their fortunes.
But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th
lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and
asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of
Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in
red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her
mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people
asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to
check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from
Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.
I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You
should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to
the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in
trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on
the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.
Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that
the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often
cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.
Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give
an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the
same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang
red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people
outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern
decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be
deceived.
Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed
the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th
lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of
noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into
the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern
and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her
parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han
Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since
Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao
Festival.
Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.
Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns
were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer
has such implications.
Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern
parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional
Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is
guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang
Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant
harvest, prosperity and love.

+ 加入清单Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks. 60% of us schoolmates think that an entrance fee do not meet people’s expectations, for a park is considered to be a place where the public can have a good time when they are not busy either at home or at work. If an entrance fee must be paid by the visitors for a park, it will be necessary to build a gate and surrounding walls. In the end a city will take on a bad look. 40% of us schoolmates think that an entrance fee can be accepted, but it must not be too expensive. The money from ticket selling can be used for paying the gardeners in the park and buying some other kinds of flowers and trees.
With regard to myself, I think an entrance fee is useful, for it can be used to protect a park. Do we share the same opinion, dear editor?
Yours truly,
Li Hua
篇7:关于水果英语作文初4
全文共 1949 字
+ 加入清单Of the fruits of the year I give my vote to the orange. In the first place
it is a perennial--if not in actual fact, at least in the greengrocer’s shop. On
the days when dessert is a name given to a handful of chocolates and a little
preserved ginger, when macédoine de fruits is the title bestowed on some raisins
and two prunes, then the orange, however sour, comes nobly to the rescue; and on
those other days of plenty when cherries and strawberries and kiwi-fruits riot
together upon the table, the orange, sweeter than ever, is still there to hold
its own. Bread and rice, beef and mutton, eggs and milk, are not more necessary
to an ordered existence than the orange.
It is well that the commonest fruit should be also the best. Of the virtues
of the orange I have not room fully to speak. It has properties of health
giving, as it cures influenza and establishes the complexion. It is clean, for
whoever handles it on its way to your table but handles its outer covering, its
top coat, which is left in the hall. It is round, and forms an excellent
substitute with the young for a tiny football. The pips can be flicked at your
enemies, and quite a small piece of peel makes a slide for an old gentleman.
But all this would count nothing had not the orange such delightful
qualities of taste. I dare not let myself go upon this subject. I am a slave to
its sweetness.
Yet with the orange we go live year in and year out. That speaks well for
the orange. The fact is that there is an honesty about the orange which appeals
to all of us. If it is going to be bad--for the best of us are bad sometimes--it
begins to be bad from the outside, not from the inside. How many a pear which
presents a blooming face to the world is rotten at the core. How many an
innocent-looking apple, is harboring a worm in the bud. But the orange has no
secret faults. Its outside is a mirror of its inside, and if you are quick you
can tell the shopman so before he slips it into the bag.

+ 加入清单Mooncakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival what mince pies are to Christmas. The seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. And the moon is what this celebration is all about. Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month,it is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest.
There are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating mooncakes. One Tang Dynasty myth holds that the Earth once had 10 suns circling it. One day all 10 suns appeared at once,scorching the planet with their heat. It was thanks to a skillful archer named Hou Yi that the Earth was saved. He shot down all but one of the suns. As his reward,the Heavenly Queen Mother gave Hou Yi the Elixir of Immortality,but she warned him that he must use it wisely. Hou Yi ignored her advice and,corrupted by fame and fortune,became a tyrannical leader. Chang-Er,his beautiful wife, could no longer stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his Elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath. And thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon,the Moon Fairy.
The second legend has it that during the Yuan Dynasty,an underground group led by Zhu Yuan Zang was determined to rid the country of Mongolian dominance. The moon cake was created to carry a secret message. When the cake was opened and the message read,an uprising was unleashed which successfully routed the Mongolians. It happened at the time of the full moon,which,some say,explains why mooncakes are eaten at this time. Mooncakes are usually stamped with Chinese characters indicating the name of the bakery and the type of filling used. Some bakeries will even stamp them with your family name so that you can give personalised ones to friends and family. They are usually presented in boxes of four which indicate the four phases of the moon. Traditional mooncakes are made with melted lard,but today vegetable oil is more often used in the interests of health. Mooncakes are not for the diet-conscious as they are loaded with calories. The best way to wash down one of these sticky cakes is with a cup of Chinese tea,especially Jasmine or Chrysanthemum tea,which aids the digestion.
中秋节吃月饼就像西方人圣诞节吃百果馅饼一样,是必不可少的。圆圆的月饼中通常包有香甜的莲子馅或是红豆馅,馅的中央还会加上一个金黄的咸鸭蛋黄来代表月亮。而月亮正是中秋节庆祝的主题。每年农历8月15日人们一起庆祝中秋,据说这一天的月亮是一年中最亮最圆的。
关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。一个是唐朝的神话故事,说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中,巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。多亏一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9个太阳,地球才被保住。为了奖励后羿,王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药,但是王母警告他必须正当使用。然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告,他被名利冲昏了头脑,变成了一个暴君。后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观,于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药,飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥,这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说。
第二个传说讲的是在元朝,朱元璋领导的起义军计划起义来摆脱蒙古族的统治。他们用月饼来传递密信。掰开月饼就可以找到里面的密信,起义军通过这种方式成功的发动了起义,赶走了元朝的统治者。这场起义发生在八月十五之时,于是中秋节吃月饼的习俗便在民间传开来。

Festival Gala.At 0:00,people set off firecrackers and fireworks,at the same

life because of their company. I even can’t imagine the life without them.

篇18:中秋节英语
全文共 1702 字
+ 加入清单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。

+ 加入清单It is believed that the computer is bringing the world into a brand new
era. At the time the computer was invented, scientists, marveling at its
calculating speed, felt that they had created a miracle. Nowadays, the function
of the computer is no longer confined to calculation; it permeates people’s
daily lives and has become an inseparable part of human society.
People become so heavily dependent on computers that it is hard to imagine
the life without computers. Therefore, some people are worried that “The real
danger is not that the computer will think like man, but man will think like the
computer.”
Their concern does make sense. Indeed, some people spend such a long time
working on computers that they have few interactions with people in real life.
According to a research, too many hours in front of a computer may lead to a
poker face and interpersonal isolation. This fact should arouse our attention,
because unlike computers, human beings are social creatures that need emotional
connections with others.
Yet, it is also unnecessary for us to be overwhelmed by the negative
impacts of computers. After all, we humans are intelligent and will be able to
figure out better ways to make improvements.

+ 加入清单Last Qingming Festival,i return home to worship my grandfather.Qingming
Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor
Day". But Today, Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush
that has grown. Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set
out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a familys home
altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food. One theory
is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area, the less appealing
food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers.
With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the
honor past ancestors. Following folk religion, the Chinese believed that the
spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and
spirit money could keep them happy, and the family would prosper through good
harvests and more children.
