It was the Eve of the Spring Festival.

Dusk was just falling as I slurped up the last bit of rice and laid down my chopsticks.

“Theyre starting!” cried my friend excitedly. “Quick! Quick!”

Outside, children were running everywhere. Their happy voices and faces made me warm inside, despite the cold wind that greeted me. My friend thrust a bundle of straw in my hands. “Come!” he cried. I giggled as I ran to catch up to him; the childrens excitement was a fever that spread to even the big kids like us.

I soon joined a rowdy bunch of children and teenagers who were building a bonfire in the middle of a path that ran through the wheat fields. “Here,”said my friend, handing me a long bamboo pole. “Put some of your straw in the fire. Then tie the rest onto your pole like this.” He demonstrated with his own materials, and I followed his example. Then he thrust both our torches into the fire and handed me mine. “Now run!”

And run I did----we all did. For miles and miles around, as far as I could see, there were small orange specks scattered about, and I could hear the distant screaming and laughing of other children running up and down the rice field path. For several hours into the night I helped build fires and keep an eye on the younger children. Occasionally I, too, lit a torch and ran around like a mad man, screaming and waving a flaming bamboo pole.

This festival, which occurred six days before Chinese New Year, was just one of the experiences during the visit to my friends over the Spring Festival. As it was explained to me, the purpose behind this festival was to allow the children to have fun burning up all the straw leftover after the harvest. Later, the ash is used for fertilizer.

The understanding of American culture must not end with what we know on TV, because she has the most distinctive features of her own, which is diversity. As a country with a large immigrant population, the United States does not have a unique way of life, there is no only standard of conduct, and there is no unique culture. The diversity of the United States penetration in all aspects of the country, the following guidelines may not be able to help you overcome all from the cultural differences, but hope to everyone to prepare for the basic study in the United States and general plan to help.

Americans have a very different lifestyle than Chinese people. American food is light and easy to make, and the main course is meat, fish and chicken. A meal usually consists of only one main course, and salads and coffee are by no means less. Hot dogs and hamburgers are two of the most popular fast foods.

Americans are so active that more than a fifth of them move every year. The most detailed list of houses and apartments available on Sunday in newspapers across the country can be used to find homes or to find local estate agents. In addition to paying for rent, the rent house generally pays for utilities, namely gas, electricity, heating, hot water and simple electrical repairs and other repairs. The rent is usually a month, usually on the first day of the month. Electricity in most parts of the United States is 110-120 volts, 60Hz.

Almost every home in the United States has a car, and the American highway is very developed and accessible, so many americans work very far from where they live. They often go on a family trip during the holidays. The most popular means of transportation in the city are buses and subways. The subway is usually run day and night. Taxis are usually paid by distance or by distance. The whole country executes the right driving, the big city executes traffic regulation especially strict.

The American concept of time

Because of the fierce competition, the American society is full of movement and change, people are always in a hurry, and the result also has formed the americans time view of tension. "Time is money" is the most accurate expression of the American attitude to time. Americans value time more than just because they think time is a tangible thing, but more importantly they recognize the urgency and lack of time. Americans believe that the question of time can fully reflect a persons self-cultivation, and his respect for others. Therefore, it is necessary to have a detailed schedule and strict adherence to it.

So we stress that being on time is not just about the individuals schedule, but if youre not on time, it reflects your lack of respect for others time. In the study of life, apart from being on time, it is necessary to observe the deadline of various learning tasks. American schools generally teach students a subject, and then a group of students form a study group. Everyone is responsible for different aspects of learning team, if you dont have the prescribed deadline to complete you responsible for that part, influence is the whole teams performance, it is also a lot of American students constantly complaining about a problem. So being on time is a basic requirement for studying and living in the United States.

The way americans communicate

Talking to people is the most basic form of interpersonal communication. When youre talking to friends from all over the world, youre not just talking to each other, youre communicating with each other. The way language is expressed can often reflect the characteristics of a particular region or country.

Direct refreshing

Most of the time, conversations in the United States belong to a tendency to get information. They like to ask a lot of questions, and in a very direct way. They will use the most simple and direct language to get the information they want, the process, if they do not pay too much attention to wording beautiful, whether express tactfully, it sometimes inevitably conceded the interlocutors have a feeling not too polite. Answer this question, too, when the answer is no, americans will tell you "no" directly, also wont go to touch up for his answer, and if you dont have to know in advance to their speech habits, it felt embarrassed is inevitable.

Positive questions

Another obvious feature of the American way of communication is that there is no hesitation in asking questions. In the course of conversation, if americans dont understand what they dont understand, they often ask each other questions in a timely manner until they understand it. This feature is encouraged in class. In American classrooms, students can present any questions to the classroom at any time, and the lecturers will be more than happy to answer questions for students. Therefore, American classroom will always make students absorb knowledge in a relaxed, interactive and positive atmosphere.

body language

The tools of human communication are not just words, but body language. Spoke of the gestures, body posture, and facial expressions are the key to proper use of body language, we will divide the occasion, object, subject of flexible adjustment and use body language. Eye contact is the key of the above elements. Keep your eyes on the other side of the conversation while youre talking. This is something americans value too much.

Here are a few topics that can be used to talk to almost all americans:

Weather and mood

Some of my past experiences

My own campus life, or work content

Car, fashion, shopping, TV, music, clothing and other casual topics

At the same time, we should avoid the following topics:

Savings, income and other topics related to the personal economic situation

Family situation

Religious beliefs and so on

The last thing to note is that when you dont have a good grasp of your sense of humor, its best not to play it at will. You know, different countries, different culture, have different understanding of humor, and the appropriate humor can active conversation atmosphere, it is easy to cause unnecessary misunderstanding, or conversely.

Were divided into 50 states, each state has different administrative rules and regulations, combined with geographical location, climate condition difference, leads to the residents of the states have different living habits. The same is true of Americas diversity.

Climate change is a top priority. On the other hand is psychological preparation. Residents in different regions have different characteristics, such as: the east people look is always in a hurry, rush about for work, but with their southern leisurely, quiet and warm hospitality is famous for its character, the residents of the Midwests character can be described as practical, stubborn, and tradition, the western residents seem to be more independent, attach importance to individualism, live along the west coast of the United States people impressed us is recreational, relaxed and optional. Youre going to be on a trip to the United States, and youre going to have to look at the cities where youre going to school, and youre going to have a general idea of what youre going to do in these areas.

对于美国文化的认识决不能止于从电视上了解到的内容，因为，她有着自己最鲜明的特点，那就是多样性。作为一个拥有庞大移民人口的国家而言，美国不存在唯一的生活方式，不存在唯一的行为标准，更不存在唯一的文化。美国的多样性渗透在国家的各个方面，以下的指南也许不能帮你克服所有因文化差异而带来的困扰，但希望能对大家为留学美国而做的基本准备和大致计划有所帮助。

美国人的生活习惯与中国人有很大不同，美国食物味道清淡，制作简单迅速，主菜为肉、鱼、鸡类。一餐中一般仅一道主菜，而沙拉和咖啡是绝不能少的。热狗和汉堡包是最流行的两种快速食品。

美国人生性好动，每年都有超过1/5的人搬家。各地星期日的报纸登载周内租售房屋与寓所的最详尽名单，可以通过这些资料找房子，也可以找当地的地产经纪人。租房子除要付租外，一般还要付公用事业费，即煤气、电、暖气、热水和简单的电器修理及其他修理费。租金通常一个月，一般每月的第一天付。美国大部分地区的电力为110-120伏，60Hz。

美国几乎每家都有小汽车，美国的高速路十分发达，四通八达，因此很多美国人工作地点与居住地很远。在假日里，他们经常全家驾车出游。市内最常用的交通工具是公共汽车和地铁。地铁一般都是日夜开行。出租汽车一般按路程(短程)或时间(远程)计费。全国实行靠右行车，大城市执行交通法规尤为严格。

美国人的时间观念

美国社会由于竞争激烈，充满了运动和变化，人们始终处于奔忙之中，结果也就养成了美国人的紧张时间观。“时间就是金钱”这句话是美国人对于时间的态度的最准确表达。美国人对于时间的珍视不仅仅因为他们认为时间是一种切实的事物，更重要的是他们认识到了时间的紧迫和缺乏。美国人相信，在时间的问题上可以充分反应出一个人的自身素质修养，以及他对于他人的尊重。所以，有一份详细的作息时间表，并严格的遵守它，是相当必要的。

所以我们强调做到准时，不仅仅是关乎到个人的日程安排，若你没有做到准时，反应出的是你对他人时间的不尊重。在学习生活中，除了准时上课外，更需要遵守的是各种学习任务的截止时间安排。美国学校的教学方式一般是老师安排给学生一项课题，然后会由学生几个人之间结成学习小组共同来进行。学习小组中的每个人都会负责不同的方面，如果你没有在规定的截止日期内完成你负责的那一部分，影响的就是整个小组的成绩，这也是很多美国学生不断在抱怨的一个问题。所以，做到准时是在美国学习和生活的一个最基本的要求。

美国人的交流方式

与人交谈是人际交往中最基础的形式。当你与来自世界各地的朋友们交谈时，你们之间交流的不仅仅是彼此的观点和话题，更深层次的是在进行着文化的交流。语言表达的方式往往可以反应出某个地区或是某个国家的特色。

◎直接爽快

大多时候，美国人的谈话属于有一种想要获取信息的趋势。他们喜欢提出很多问题，并且是用很直接的方式。他们会用最简单直接的语言表达来获取自己想要的信息，这过程中，他们并不太在意措辞是否优美，意思表达是否婉转等问题，这有时不免会让与之对话者有一种不太礼貌的感觉。回答问题也是一样，当答案是否定的时候，美国人会直接告诉你“不“，同样不会去为他的答案进行润色，若是你没有提前了解到他们这种说话习惯，那感觉尴尬就是在所难免的了。

◎积极提问

美国人的交流方式中还有一个明显的特点就是毫不犹豫的提问。在交谈过程中，如果美国人有不明白，没听清的地方时，他们通常会及时的向对方把问题提出，直到弄懂为止。这一特点在课堂上成为被鼓励的做法。在美国的课堂上，学生可以随时向授课教室提出任何相关问题，而授课者都会极为乐意的为学生解答问题。所以，美国的课堂总是会让学生在轻松，互动，积极的氛围里吸收知识。

◎肢体语言

人类交流的工具不仅仅是语言，还有肢体语言。说话时的手势，身体的姿势，以及脸部的表情都是恰当运用肢体语言的关键，我们要分场合，分对象，分话题的灵活调整和运用肢体语言。其中目光接触则是上述要素中的关键。交谈时要时刻保持自己的目光是与对方相接触的，目光自然和善即可。这一点也是美国人相当看重的。

这里我们给大家提供几个很适合与几乎所有美国人交谈的话题：

天气情况和心情

自己以往的某些经历

自己的校园生活，或是工作内容

汽车，时尚，购物，影视，音乐，服装等休闲话题

同时我们应该避免以下话题：

存款，收入等与个人经济情况有关的话题

家庭情况

宗教信仰等等

最后需要提醒大家的一点是，当你对自己的幽默感并没有十足的把握时，最好不要随意发挥它。要知道，不同国家，不同文化，对幽默的认识是有所不同的，恰当的幽默可以活跃谈话气氛，反之则很容易引起不必要的误解或是不愉快。

美国一共划分为50个州，每个州都有不同的行政法规，再加上地理位置，气候条件的差异，就导致了各州的居民都有着不同的生活习惯。这里同样体现的是美国的多样性。

气候不同是首要考虑的问题。另外一方面就是心理上的准备。不同地区的居民有着不同的性格特征，比如：东部的人看起来总是匆匆忙忙的，为工作而奔波着，南部的人却是以他们悠闲，平静并且热情好客的性格特点而闻名，中西部的居民的性格可以被形容成实际的，固执的，还有一点传统，西部居民显得比较独立，重视个人主义，沿西海岸居住的美国人给我们的印象就是休闲，放松，随意。将要踏上美国之旅的你，需要针对就读学校所处城市，在这些方面搜集资料，提前有个大体的概念。

按照家乡的老规矩，过春节差不多从腊月就开始了。

腊八这天，人们要喝腊八粥。腊八粥可好喝了，它里面有桂圆、苡米、麦片、糯米、绿豆、红豆、芸豆、花生。

到了元宵节，超市就特别热闹，人们买元宵回家煮着吃，为的是一家人团团圆圆、甜甜蜜蜜。

到了腊月十六，家乡的春节也就结束了，人们又开始了忙碌的生活。

在28天的寒假中，我看到了也听到了许多事情，有的令人无奈，有的令人高兴，有的令人惊讶。

红火新年大堵车

腊月二十五日晚，我和爸爸妈妈开车去大润发超市置办年货。没想到原本十几分钟的车程竟用了近一个小时。我坐在车上，望着车窗外。只见车灯连在一起，汇成了一条灯河。各种车辆的喇叭声此起彼伏，冲击着我的耳朵。轿车走走停停，十分钟过去了，我们的车只挪动了几厘米。窗外，交警在认真地指挥着交通。我暗暗想：“这就是过年，平时看不到这样壮观的场面的。”

过年喜禁放烟花

春节前夕，本地的电视报纸就开始大力宣传今年春节城区内禁放烟花爆竹。听到这个消息，我高兴极了。以往的大年三十，天刚黑下来，震耳欲聋的鞭炮声就“如约”响起，鞭炮声吵得我没法看央视春晚，连家人交谈都需要大声喊。今年终于禁放鞭炮了，我们再也不用忍受着震耳欲聋的鞭炮声了，我们再也不用大声地说话了，我们终于可以过一个文明、祥和、安静的中国年了。

全球都过中国年

央视春晚的前半个小时，央视一台在播新闻，我惊讶的看到世界上许多地方都在热闹闹地过中国年，就连日本的东京、美国纽约的唐人街也出现了舞狮者的身影。中国年正在影响着全世界。全世界都在过中国年。想到这儿，我不禁自豪万分。

关于压岁钱，有一个流传很广的故事。古时候，有一种小妖叫“祟”，大年三十晚上出来用手去摸熟睡着的孩子的头，孩子往往吓得哭起来，接着头疼发热，变成傻子。因此，家家都在这天亮着灯坐着不睡，叫做“守祟”。

有一家夫妻俩老年得子，视为心肝宝贝。到了年三十夜晚，他们怕“祟”来害孩子，就拿出八枚铜钱同孩子玩。孩子玩累了睡着了，他们就把八枚铜钱用红纸包着放在孩子的枕头下边，夫妻俩不敢合眼。半夜里一阵阴风吹开房门，吹灭了灯火，“祟”刚伸手去摸孩子的头，枕头边就迸发道道闪光，吓得“祟”逃跑了。第二天，夫妻俩把用红纸包八枚铜钱吓退“祟”的事告诉了大家，以后大家学着做，孩子就太平无事了。

春节前夕的扫尘开始了，“咚、咚、咚，”一大清早我和妈妈摆这忙那的，忽然，妈妈说到：“是不是人少了点？我们去叫奶奶吧！”我一蹦三尺高。最后，我们分好了工。

妈妈拖地，我擦桌子，爸爸在收拾屋子里的东西，奶奶在打扫墙角上的小蜘蛛网，你忙你的，我忙我的。不一会儿，终于把屋子收拾干净了。此时，我心里充满了喜悦。“笃笃笃”有客人来了呀！门铃的声音清晰的响了起来。

“妈妈，有客人来了”我小声对妈妈说。

我连忙打开门，呀！是最心疼我的爷爷，我忙伸出我的“攒钱手”对着爷爷不自然地笑了笑。在我身边的妈妈看出了我的心思，一把拽过我说：“小孩伸什么手？嘴巴才靠得住，用得长久呢！”我恍然大悟，赶紧说：“祝爷爷福如东海，寿比南山呀！我爱您！”

“好！好！呵呵！”爷爷摸着胡子笑呵呵地说，顺手又从口袋里拿出一个画着娃娃脸的小红包，放在了我手心里，像个老顽童似的走了。

过年嘛，我们小孩子的压岁钱是少不了的。

这就是让我终生难忘的春节。

Today is the beginning of first, I told my cousin went to the big red flag in the town of Villa Zhuo watched a wonderful "Spring Festival acrobatics extravaganza." After we came to find a place performing acrobatics, find a place to sit, then waited patiently show began.

The first program, the small monkey riding old goat rope walk. I saw the old goat monkey carrying a small step by step down the rope, hey, before. Really amazing ah! The next program more exciting! For example: a tightrope, tigers jump through hoops, lions and tigers slide across the beautiful swing, bears do sports, air swing ...... and so this "Spring Festival acrobatic extravaganza," the protagonist is mainly animals.

The Lunar New Year is a great occasion to the Chinese people.It lasts about the first four days of the year,during which people do not work except for the workers on duty.Students do not go to school,and shops are closed.

On the eve of the new year,each family has its members gatherd together and eats a family reunion dinner.After the meal they watch TV until the clock strickes twelve.Then every family sets off long strings of small firecrackers and other fire works to welcome the new year.On the first day of the new year,almost everyone is dressed in his or her best.When people meet on the way,they say to each other "Happy New Year".Friends and relatives pay new year calls and gives presents to each other.Children indulge themselves in games.

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.

My plan of next year

A new year ，a new start，when I stand on the edge of a new year，I cant help thinking about my plan of next year.

Just as the old saying：“Well began is the half of the success.”So I decide that I should be at work while the others are still relaxing ，and then ，at the beginning ，Im quicker than the others and of course I will get better result than the others.

But ，what I really decide to do is that I must make good of anytime I can spare though it seems impossible. While，I will do my best to live up with what I have planned，and the result will prove it.

There are many traditional festivals in China, such as the childrens day, the national day, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid Autumn Festival, but my favorite and most expected is the Spring Festival.

Lets talk about the origin of the Spring Festival. Legend has a monster called "year", the head long antennae, fierce and abnormal. "Year" years of deep seabed, every new years Eve just climbed out, devouring livestock harm human life. Therefore, every new years Eve, people help the aged and the young stockaded village fled to the mountains, to avoid "year" damage. A new years Eve, peach blossom village people are to help the aged and the young to take refuge, an old man came to the village, at this time, everyone on the run, who do not care about the old man, only an old woman carrying food to persuade the elderly, said: "everyone in the refugee! You can run away with the food, too. " The old man said unhurried, "can I stay in your house for a while?" The old woman hurried to persuade the elderly, the old man just only smiled but did not reply the old woman had to promise the elderly. The old man hung a red lantern in front of the house, and there was a lot of red things in front of the door. Suddenly, "year", "year" went to the front of the wife, I saw the red light scattered, "year" was scared away. At this time, sounded crackling sound of firecrackers, "year" was scared to death, escape from the village of peach blossom. Later, people called the happy day of the people "Spring Festival".

The Spring Festival is coming, the street is very busy! Malone on the road, the flow of water. A row of shops at the entrance, some hanging on every kind of lanterns, some big red lanterns hang, some affixed with "longevity, happiness as immense as the Eastern Sea" auspicious antithetical couplet. The street shop owners are Strike while the iron is hot. peddled. The small shop selling special purchases for the Spring Festival display, the size of the red lanterns and printed with a picture of auspicious antithetical couplet, dizzying, customers coming in a steady stream of Shaoxing, the boss too busy to attend to all. The children are wearing new clothes brightly coloured shuttle in the high streets and back lanes, face hung sweet smile. The streets were full of people, adults and children. The sound of firecrackers, fireworks, cheers and laughter filled the whole town, everywhere permeated with a festive atmosphere.

Not only in the street, but also at home. At home, people eat reunion dinner with relatives coming back from far away, then watch the Spring Festival Gala together, chat together, and my family is no exception. That year, our family and some relatives around the table to eat hot pot, mom and dad ate while chatting. I just sat there quietly enjoying the delicious food. After dinner, we put the fireworks in the square, a branch of a dragon like fireworks into the sky, blooming in the bright moonlight beside. I also tried to put one, but since then I cant put the fireworks again. The Spring Festival is really a beautiful day.
