在中国，每年春节的这段时间正是每家每户最热闹的时候。我家也不例外。

在除夕的前一天，我就帮着妈妈和外婆做除夕的准备：打扫卫生、接待客人、包饺子什么的。这些活儿虽然很累，但是做起来可好玩儿了，尤其是做饺子的时候。

那些色鲜味美的饺子一个个看似十分简单，其实做起来可复杂了哩。先要把之前预备好的面粉和水和在一起，使劲儿的揉、搓、压一番，然后用擀面杖把它们擀成一张张薄薄的饺子皮儿。我经过好一番努力，终于擀出了第一张自己做的饺子皮!我把它轻轻地摊在手上，生怕它一不小心破掉。饺子皮已经全部完工!现在应该开始好好地准备饺子的馅儿了。妈妈用菜刀麻溜地躲着肉末，外婆则在一旁洗着芹菜。我的任务呢，十八猪肉末和芹菜和在一起，做成猪肉芹菜馅。不一会儿的工夫，饺子馅儿也全部完工。剩下的工作就由那些经验丰富的舅妈们来完成，我们小孩子只等着第二天除夕品尝美味的饺子了!

终于到了期盼已久的除夕夜了!外婆家里聚满了亲朋好友，大家围在大圆桌四周，吃起了团圆饭和我们昨天包的饺子。男人们喝酒，女人们看春晚，小孩子们都吵着闹着要到院子里放鞭炮，真是热闹极了。

到了大年初一，由于昨夜守岁的原因，我整个上午都赖在床上睡着懒觉，心里还想着昨晚和小伙伴们打闹的情景。

这真是一个充满传统文化气息的十分快乐的除夕夜!

春节是我国最主要的传统节日，很多人都会放下繁忙的工作，回到家，举家欢庆，庆祝团圆。下面小编带来的是过春节的中学生英语作文，希望对你有帮助。

The winter vacation, the Spring Festival, not what can be more symbolic than firecrackers, during the Lunar New Year holiday, the first idea is to set off firecrackers on the street, see the brightly coloured fireworks is a heart itch.

We are back to uncle home a day this year, brother and sister-in-law are "generous", bought a lot of firecrackers in the corner, we saw the child, did not forget to peruse, touch on a few, while this is good, while the good, and some day There were many discussions. From the new year, when their distribution of firecrackers the list of bills.

We can endure the temptation, dont shout, we tried to make it can scarcely wait in front of adults, so they take us back to an exciting, can these people, like we play like teasing, blind, but no one would dare to put forward, it will inevitably. First, so we picked the iron heart, those gadgets, is not easy to detect the box gun hidden in the bag and ran away to steal, we all cherish it! Who have 10 pieces of cannon cleaning hidden in the hidden bag, each other do not stop said: "first put you the more you." "I have no, I do not believe you." "Talk and count it out to me." "Thats no good." "Lets put you." "Mora who lost who" each gun had inevitably twitter controversy, for trouble, also had their own respective, to put aside. From the bag carefully pulled out a root to the ground, then look for a long time, for fear of accidentally brought out off the ground, confirm no later, then took out the eraser box, a wipe, wipe away a head poked out the flame, a walk away, people far away, and then cover your ears, all eyes. The top of a smoking gun, only to be snapped, jumping is happy, after a while, the fried greasy, they all want to see water gun in the water, not easy to find a small puddle, "this is what I find, you dont" grab "is not for you, I then inevitably some unreasonable, then, I do not know who shouted," ignition." They are back to the speaker lit and thrown, simply even ears are not covered, PA, the water splashed up here, he screamed again, this can be in the water like shooting on land that is easy, it is necessary to experience. I have seen carefully the experienced cannon. I saw that he did not throw it directly after burning it, but he would burn it for half a second and throw it into the water again, so he would throw it repeatedly, or it would be extinguished in the water, which would be a great waste of firecrackers, which is not what we would like to do.

This game a few days later, went to the first day of the new year, at that time, the novelty will be played out, we were more interested. At that time, thousands of households are out shooting, that battle, like battlefield two, we look for the shuttle in the middle there is no fried surplus, it is very lucky to get it, but we still dont give up the 0. 001%s hope.

Until the second day of the new year, firecrackers suddenly stopped, so neat, so coincidentally, occasionally one or two sound system sound, and more people feel quiet, empty, so soon after the Lunar New Years day, yes, really over, that moment, our work is only to wait, wait for the next a long spring festival.

On New Years Eve，our class had a party。 The atmosphere was good。 It was out of the ordinary from the very begining。 The boy student from one bedroom gave an unusual performance。 We saw a boy named Li Xinmin turn off all the lights in a sudden snap。 Then with three resounding（响亮的） crow of a cock echoing in the hall，the hall was again brightly lit in a snap。

Then，the representative of the bedroom Zhu Guozhang asked us to guess a line of a poem related to the above situation。 He added that Li Xinmin alone was born in the year of the dog and the other three were all born in the year of the chicken。 They left us all in confusion。 And it was our monitor who was quickwitted（机智的）。 He shouted our， "The day breaks as the cock crows three times at dawn。" The hall After that，they had another item。 This time Li Xinmin was placed in the middle of the circle。 While he was standing there，the other three stood around him，each bowing down to him at an angle of 120 degrees。 It was an idiom。 This time I got it right："The dog stands out among a group of chickens。"
