My hometown is a small village in Chaoyang County of Liaoning province. If you come here, the countless festival customs will make you open your eyes. One of the most popular and favorite festivals is the annual Spring Festival in my hometown.

The Spring Festival has always been paid attention to, so the preparation for the pre Festival is also a long time, usually one month or half a month before the festival. During this period, people will always catch up with the big collection. The people coming back from the collection must be big bags of small balls, just like a big move, and those packages will have money hanging, couplets, some tobacco, sugar, tea and so on. The Spring Festival is six or seven days from the time, the hostess will take home are cleaned inside and out, clean and neat, so as not to give the guests a bad impression. One day before the Spring Festival, people were busy. The morning is posted paste antithetical couplet, register fund, at noon the hostess will be a sumptuous meal to invite two parents, one family enjoyable, fun. The night is more lively, eat dumplings and set off firecrackers, lamps and candles of a myriad families crowded.

The genius of the Spring Festival is a real buzz. On this day, people are busy getting up early to prepare breakfast, "for", everything must be careful, not negligence. The laobiye offerings are better than we eat dinner. First of all, right in the middle of a big plate, or put on three with red spots Steamed Buns, or put a plate of dumplings, and two small plates on both sides of large plate on it, put some orange, apple, and sugar, and incense to incense constantly, listening and speaking this one family can bless peace throughout the year. To finish for Lafayette, we can eat a meal. Dumplings are this day will eat meals, but not less packets must eat, the rest is good, which means "May there be surpluses every year". After dinner, we all want to put on new clothes, new shoes and socks, which represents the "new year". People will go to visit high streets and back lanes during the day, they see the elders to see knock, and comes with a spring festival!" And now this kind of custom has been forgotten by people. This day is also the most children a happy day, because not only can follow their parents to go to the door, enjoy a good treatment, but also can get lots of gift money. Theres a lot of money. If you want to buy anything, youll be happy. Children can not be punished by their parents even if they make mistakes, because it is the Spring Festival, and they are all festive and do not care about those unhappy things.

One month after that, relatives came to my house every two or three days. I was the happiest person because I could eat delicious food again. This is the time when people get the fastest weight, because they have a good date every day, so people begin to worry about their body.

Although I am now studying in a strange land, I cant go home very often, but I always cherish the memory of the Spring Festival in my hometown. That lively scene even missed the hometown that I raised for over ten years.

In a year of many programs, my favorite is the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival is also called the Chinese New Year.

According to legend, "year" is a monster, every Chinese new year it ran to the scourge of human people, so people in the door to paste the red antithetical couplet, home burning fire, burning firecrackers to scare away Sheng "year", so the formation of people with fire, burning, paste antithetical couplet Sheng firecrackers is celebrated a year of good harvest and pray for a bumper harvest in the coming year tradition.

As soon as the Spring Festival comes, our family will go to grandmas home. The old house is busy, and the people out are going back. Every year is waiting for my father to write a couplet, we help to stick. The most interesting thing is to put off fireworks and firecrackers, and always do not play enough. Grandpa and grandmas "money" is more than a year, saying that it is saving for us to read the University. With mom and dad went from door to door, a relative blessing, "Happy New Year" "Happy New Year" "fortune" and "when leading" the university entrance exam

The Spring Festival is the end of a year. It is also the beginning of the year. People celebrate the years harvest in the Spring Festival, and summarize the results of the year. The harvest of people on holidays, jubilant, eat delicacy, to reward their relatives. At this time, I will calm down in the bustle, think of the past year, how I have passed, what is worth remembering, and what is worth celebrating. "The plan of a year is spring". Spring is a new beginning of a year, and it is my starting point. We should plan my life for a year and get better results.

"Spring, an hour in the morning is worth two in the evening". Spring is the most beautiful season in a year. The twinkling of an eye, charactizing a fine spring has come.

I myself have a heart in the spring. After spring, with tender green grass, grass, crammed with all sorts of flowers, the grass decorated like to embroider the flower green carpet. I walk on the grass, feel the foot soft, very comfortable. There are many butterflies on the grass. They were wearing colorful make-up, or flying up and down, or through the grass. To go far, a large area of a large fields, fields, fruit trees into shadow, red fruit hanging branches, like on the trees full of numerous large stones. Over the orchard, and many birds fly light dances; They are covered with colorful feathers, singing songs. Through the forest a brook, extends to the green grass, from my feet flowed. Sends out the ringing sound when water bottom, stream, want to heart making the music of this song is moving, and the song of birds should be matched.

On both sides of trails, covered with many beautiful flowers, yellow, white, red, purple... Its colorful, very beautiful flowers. Especially flowers everywhere filled with large poppy flower. It is so bright, red dazzling, bright yellow, under the sun, peoples eyes were drove hard to open...

This is the spring, this is the spring in my heart. I couldnt help shout out: I love you, in the heart of the spring!

“一年之计在于春，一日之计在于晨”。春天是一年中最美的季节。一眨眼，鸟语花香的春天就到来了。

我自己也有心中的春天。春天来后，到处是嫩嫩的绿草，草丛中开满了各种各样的花，把草地装点得就像绣了花得绿绒地毯。我走在草地上，感到脚下软绵绵的，非常舒服。草地上还有许多蝴蝶，它们都穿着五颜六色的彩装，或上下飞舞，或在草间歇息。向远望去，有一大片一大片的原野，原野上，果树成荫，红色的果实挂满枝头，就像在绿树上嵌满了无数硕大的宝石。果园上空，还有许多小鸟轻飞漫舞;它们披着色彩缤纷的羽毛，唱着婉转的歌儿。一条小溪穿林而过，延伸到绿色的草地上，从我脚边潺潺流过。溪水清澈见底，流动时发出清脆的声响，想奏这一首动人的乐曲，与小鸟的歌声应和成趣。

在一条条小路两旁，铺满了许许多多美丽的花朵，黄的、白的、红的、紫的……真是五颜六色，姹紫嫣红。尤其是花丛中到处都开满了硕大的花。它是那么鲜艳，红的炫目，黄的耀眼，在阳光的照射下，人们的眼睛都被逼得睁不开了……

这就是春，这就是我心中的春。我不由得发出赞叹：我爱你，心中的春!

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

Just as the old saying:"Well began is thehalf 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 ofcourse I will get better result than the others.

But, what I really decide to do is that I must make good of any time 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.

Spring Festival

春节

The Spring Festival is very important to Chinese people. In the past，people could not often have meat，rice or other delicious food. They could only eat these during the Spring festival. So every year they hoped that the Spring Festival would come soon. Now， although people‘s life is much better，and we can eat the delicious foods everyday. People still like the festival. Because most people can have a long holiday，and we are free to go on a trip or visit our friends or have parties with our family. In the evenings，we can have a big meal in the restaurant or stay at home with family and watch the TV programs.

I went to watch the movie Wolf warriors 2 today

I went to watch the movie Wolf warriors 2 today as I heard it was a big hit

in China. I am not the biggest fan of WuJing(the director and leading role of

the movie), but this movie he direct really impressed me. I have watched Wolf

Warrior which I would consider as a good movie, but II is way much better. It is

the first Chinese movie that is built on the context of African country and

actually shot in South Africa, bearing the risk of suffering the disturbance on

the set. The way the plot unfolds and the courage and patriotism is delivered to

its audience makes it more than a simple action movie. Love this movie and will

go for it a second time!

我今天去看了电影战狼2

当今天听到《战狼2》轰动了中国时，我就去看了这部电影。我不是吴京(这部电影的导演和主演)的死粉丝，但是他导演的这部战狼2真的令我印象深刻。我之前看过战狼，并且我认为这是不好电影，但是第二部简直是要好太多了。这是首部以非洲国家为背景的中国电影。整个剧组实际上冒着在片场遭遇动荡的风险在南非进行拍摄。情节的展开方式，以及片中体现出的勇气和爱国情怀都传递给了观众，这部电影不仅仅是一部简单的动作片。我爱这部电影，我决定将看第二遍!

In a cheerful and strong sense of rhythm music, dozens of children playing cute pony, dance on the stage, a few "horse" leader of the "pony", Thomas also staged a slip kneeling pronation, windmill and other difficult dance moves, finally, at the end of the children cheerful happy New Year sound, even Qing Dong also praised the children "Adorable".

The CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage dazzling colorful, change unpredictably scene is so grand and festive, prepared the actors to elaborate the program presented to everyone - the collective dance, a macro lineup of humorous comedy, comic, melodious songs, but also the dizzying find everything fresh and new acrobatics, magic the performance and so on...... Its really a minute on the platform. Its very hard to practice!

In the end of the song "unforgettable tonight" middle-aged CCTV Spring Festival gala. More than 4 hours of the horse Spring Festival makes people feel a bit more warmth and warmth.

There is also a huge difference between Chinese and Western people. Chinese people use chopsticks and western people use fork and knife. Usually people who use fork and knife will use fork to hold the meat and cut it by knife and use fork to help to get that piece of meat into mouse. Chinese just use chopstick to pick things and pass it into your mouse.

Chinese people only have three meals during a day. But western people will have more, they have afternoon tea. Usually they would have fruits, homemade cake, tea (black tea) or biscuit with cheese. If you are a housewife and have a lot of time, you may have morning tea as well.

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。

Several days before the new year， people begin to prepare。 Farmers kill pigs， sheep， cocks and hens。 City dwellers buy meat fish and vegetables。  Houses are cleaned； coupletsare posted on the doors。 Colourful lanterns are hung at the gate。

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 wele 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。
