英语作文我的寒假（实用20篇）

During the winter holiday, I was very happy because of the Chinese new year and other reasons. During the holiday, my parents and I went back to my hometown in the countryside in Hebei Province. I had not come back for several years, so that I was so surprised to find that great changes had taken place in this small village in the past years. Almost every family in the village had color TV set and some of them had computers. Many families had their houses newly built or rebuilt. Previously,could be seen everywhere, but now they have taken on an entirely newlook. Motorcycles or even private cars are not luxuries any more.

One of the villagers proudly told me that he and some other villagers were going to join a tour and travel abroad. Previously, the villagers were busy in their farm work all the year round, but now they have much more time and money to relax or entertain. Traveling has become a new trend among villagers. Seeing these amazing changes, my father said that he would go back to my hometown as soon as he retired. As for me, I strongly supported his idea.

Last week, I found a girl whose left leg was incapable walking in school. As she looks so different, many students stare at her, but the girl seems to ignore it and she talks to her friends happily. I admire her so much. Though she is unlucky in some way, she is strong to face it and makes her life wonderful.

Put the winter vacation, mom and dad in order not to let my nest at home all day, then bought me a skateboard. I look at the others slide so easily that it is easy to learn skateboard.

That night, I was in village started skateboarding. I learn to the appearance of other people, but also missed, and fell down, "flop", I had a fall, in the balcony watching mother laughed, she told me to the edge of side slip. I according to the mother said to slip, but I cant always grasp balance, tried many times didnt succeed, but ass fell and hurt, Im too tired to full head big sweat, took home the mood of a bit discouraged. Lying in bed, I thought to myself, others can skate well, I also can skate well, I cant give up.

The next day, I early in the morning and in the community continue to skateboarding. Before you know it, I can balance, slowly, I can slip for a short period. Is satisfied, and I fell flat on his back, ah! It seems still not proud! At night, I slide the skateboard in community work such as mother, mother looked at, very surprised, she repeatedly praised me is very good, listen to the mothers praise, Im flattered.

In the next few days, I kept practicing skateboarding techniques, Ive greatly improved my technique.

By this is that I see that, as long as you work hard, anything can succeed.

放寒假了，爸爸妈妈为了不让我整天窝在家里，于是给我买了一个滑板。我看别人滑的那么轻松，认为学滑板很容易。

当天晚上，我就在小区开始练滑板。我学着别人的样子，可还没站稳，就摔了下来，“扑通”一声，我摔了一跤，在阳台观看的妈妈哈哈大笑，她告诉我要边滑边上。我按照妈妈说的去滑，可是我总是掌握不了平衡，试了许多次都没成功，屁股却摔得生疼，我累得满头大汗，带着有点气馁的心情回到家。躺在床上，我心想：别人能滑好，我也一定能滑好，我不能放弃。

第二天，我一大早就又到小区里继续练滑板。不知不觉，我可以掌握平衡了，慢慢地，我可以滑一小段了。正在得意时，我又摔了个仰面朝天，哎!看来还是不能骄傲啊!晚上，我滑着滑板在小区等妈妈下班，妈妈见状，非常惊讶，她连连夸我非常棒，听了妈妈的夸奖，我心里美滋滋的。

接下来的几天，我不停地练习滑板技术，我的技术大有提高。

通过这件是，我明白了：只要努力，任何事情都能取得成功。

Dragon Boat race Traditions

At the center of this festival are the dragon boat races. Competing teams drive their colorful dragon boats forward to the rhythm of beating drums. These exciting races were inspired by the villagers valiant attempts to rescue Chu Yuan from the Mi Luo river. This tradition has remained unbroken for centuries.

Tzung Tzu

A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat festival is tzung tzu. This tasty dish consists of rice dumplings with meat, peanut, egg yolk, or other fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves. The tradition of tzung tzu is meant to remind us of the village fishermen scattering rice across the water of the Mi Luo river in order to appease the river dragons so that they would not devour Chu Yuan.

Ay Taso

The time of year of the Dragon Boat Festival, the fifth lunar moon, has more significance than just the story of Qu Yuan. Many Chinese consider this time of year an especially dangerous time when extra efforts must be made to protect their family from illness. Families will hang various herbs, called Ay Tsao, on their door for protection. The drinking of realgar wine is thought to remove poisons from the body. Hsiang Bao are also worn. These sachets contain various fragrant medicinal herbs thought to protect the wearer from illness.

翻译：风俗习惯端午节最重要的活动是龙舟竞赛。比赛的队伍他们多彩的龙舟前进的鼓声中。这项活动的灵感是来自村民的勇敢的尝试营救汨罗江畔的屈原。这个传统一直保持了几个世纪。

粽子非常受欢迎的菜在端午节粽子。粽子的米包着肉、花生、蛋黄及其他材料，再以竹叶包裹。而粽子的传统是为了提醒我们的渔夫，将米丢进汨罗河水安抚蛟龙，希望他们不要将屈原吃掉。

塔索(Taso)的时间每年的端午节，农历的第五天，具有更多的意义，不仅仅是屈原的故事。许多中国人认为每年的这个时候，一个特别危险的时候，必须做出额外的努力，保护家人免受疾病。家庭在门上将挂各种草药，叫驱邪。喝雄黄酒被认为是去除体内的毒物。香包也穿，它是以含有多种香味药草认为保护人们远离疾病。

Thanksgiving Day falls on the fourth Thursday of November every year. It is

the most truly American of the national Holidays in the United States. It is a

time for sharing. In the United States, it is their tradition that family

members get together for a reunion to have a traditional big dinner. On the

dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes.

There will be plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry

juice and squash. The best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and

pumpkin pie. Although it is the traditional festival of America, it reminds us

of appreciation.

Recently, I saw a piece of news on the newspaper. This news has a picture

matched. The picture shows that a young lady sitting on the seat of a bus. But

it is strange that an old lady sits on the leg of the young lady, which there

are still many empty seats on the bus. I am totally moved after reading this

news. The old lady is the mother of the young lady. The old lady had some

problem with her back and leg that she couldn’t sit independently. And her

daughter does not want to see her mother stand on the bus in such an old lady,

so I see situation on the picture. Having read this, my eyes become wet. When we

are young, our mother will often carry us if there is any inconvenient, but when

our mother gets old, we seldom carry her.

The ancients had a saying: dripping, the smallest favor. In this world,

there are many people who grace to us. Our parents are the two people who give

us most grace. When we grow up, we need to say our thanks to them. As far as I

am concerned, thanks the people do good to us, especially our parents should be

the theme of our Chinese Thanksgiving Day.

Mostly, I went to school to have lessons this week. It was hard but we must experience, wasn’t it? But on Saturday I finished my first learning. And the second learning will begin on Aug 1st. I can have a break and do what I want to do. On Saturday I went shopping. Indeed I didn’t buy many things. I just wanted to relax. And then I played on the computer, sang , watched TV, etc. I just wanted to amuse myself. I went to swim on Sunday, although I didn’t swim very well. I felt cool during this hot time. I also played with my mother. She couldn’t swim so I taught her. I sometimes played a trick on her. I had a good time there.

Its spring now. The weather is warm and comfortable. Its a good time for

hiking. Therefore, my teacher organized a climbing for us. There is a beautiful

mountain in my city and its target this time. We took bus there and arrived

there at 9 p.m.. After we took off the bus, we started to climb. The mountain is

high but the scenery is beautiful. We are so excited that we climbed fast at

first. But after a while, some of us were tired,especially girls. They did not

want to go on anymore. But some others encouraged and helped them. All of us

slowed down our speed, so that no one was left behind. About 11:00 p.m., we got

to the top of the mountain. We were so happy that we did it. We feel that all

the tiredness were worth it.

The Duanwu Festival, which is also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is an

ancient Chinese traditional festival, celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth

lunar month. For thousands of years, various celebrating activities are held all

around the country. Eating zongzi and racing dragon boats are the most pertinent

ones, which are said to be in memory of Qu Yuan, a great poet. In some places,

people spread realgar wine on the children in the hope of protecting them from

the evil spirits. Many people consider May as an especially dangerous time for

diseases in a year, and therefore they hang moxa and calamus and things like

that around the doors to ward off evil and diseases and pray for good luck.

Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters.

许多人认为这只是一个爱情故事傲慢与偏见，但在我看来，这本书是对当时社会的例证。她完美地体现了金钱与婚姻关系时，给她的时间在她的作品生动的人物形象的人。

The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant.) Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.

书中的人物有自己的个性。班纳特太太是一个女人谁使大力女儿嫁出去。彬格莱先生是位很友好的年轻人，但他的朋友，达西先生，是一个非常骄傲的人谁似乎总是感觉优越。即使是班纳特家的五个女儿有很大的不同。简是简单，天真，从不说别人的恶。伊丽莎白是一个聪明的女孩谁总是有她自己的意见。玛丽喜欢阅读古典书籍。 (其实她是一个学究。)小鹰没有她自己的意见，而是喜欢跟她的妹妹，莉迪亚。莉迪亚是一个女孩谁如下异国情调的东西，英俊的男子，并在某种程度上有点挥霍。当我读的书，我总能在社会上找到相同的人物了。这就是为什么我觉得这本书确实是在英国社会在18世纪的代表。

The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book.

The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in possession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.

在农村家庭是简奥斯汀先生最喜欢的话题。但是，这个小问题都可以反映大的问题。它总结了地层情况和英国的经济关系，她的世纪。你可以找到从一开始这本书。

在这本书的第一句话让人印象深刻。它写道：“这是众所周知的，在世界上的一大笔财富占有未婚男子必须在妻子需要一个真相“。该底色是非常明确的：当时的婚姻的基础是感情，但不占有。

People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.

I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughters. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.

Many people ask what happiness is. I don’t know why there are many people

asking this question, because I think happiness is simple. As for me, I feel

happy when I do a good job in my study. Teachers praise me and my parents are

happy. Or, when I help others I feel happy. I am proud of myself. Besides,

playing with my classmates or friends is happy, too. We always have a great time

together. From above, they are all happiness.

On the first day of winter vacation, I will give myself made a rigorous study plan, hope you can spend a substantial winter vacation.

My study plan put my winter holiday is full of. I plan to put all the homework before the holiday are swept away, after the Chinese New Year in the top volume with three days to review your knowledge of our sage Confucius said, "consider"! The rest of the will to prepare book1&book 2 new knowledge, or else how can have a foothold in the superior competitive school? I write my these learning plan on a piece of paper, posted on my study desk, make it a little paper play a bigger role, it can play the role of a reminder to urge.

Saying and doing are two different things, in my winter vacation plan is really reflect incisively and vividly! Every day I wait for the sun to be basked in elder sister to the quilt to get up in the morning, all day in the hands of the pen to write, the temptation of television and computer, always to prohibit on learning table winter holiday schedule become worthless. My homework to the annual month to complete, the review plans to use five days, your plan is to complete the ugly, mathematics preview only the teacher must make the preview of the first two units, other disciplines in almost flat. My poor self-control and efficiency!

My winter holiday finish so unsatisfactory study plan, why? She thought I was a little lazy, didnt want to learn that, poor self-control, learning efficiency is too low. I must conscientiously corrected, let oneself after all plan to become a reality, not smoke, hopes to have a full winter vacation next year to be happy!

在放寒假的第一天，我就给自己制定了一个严密的学习计划，希望自己可以度过一个充实的寒假。

我的学习计划把我的寒假安排的满当当的。我计划在放假前把所有的作业都一扫而光，在过年后用三天的时间把上册的知识复习一下，我们的圣人孔子说过“温故而知新”嘛!剩下的时间就要来预习下册新的知识了，要不然怎么能在高手如云的学校有立足之地呢?我把我的这些学习计划写在了一张纸上，贴在我的学习桌前，让它小小的纸张发挥大作用，它可以起到一个提醒督促的作用。

说与做是两码事，在我的寒假学习计划上可真是体现的淋漓尽致啊!我每天早上等到太阳姐姐晒到被子上才起床，一整天手中的笔写写停停，总是禁不止电视和电脑的诱惑，放在学习桌前的寒假学习计划表成了废纸一张。我的作业到大年初十才全部完成，复习计划用了五天的时间，预习计划更是完成的不堪入目，数学只预习了老师必须让预习的前两单元，其他的学科几乎在原地踏步走。我的自制力和效率也太差了!

我的寒假学习计划就完成得这么不尽人意，原因是什么?我自己觉得是有点懒散，没有想学习的那股劲头，自制力太差，学习效率太低。我一定要认真改正，让自己以后所有的计划成为现实而不是泡影，希望在下一年寒假能够过得充实快乐些!

One day in a winter vacation, I and my grandma to the fruit stand to buy fruit. Came to a fruit stand, while grandma and selling fruit machine of bargaining, I look east, west to see see. Suddenly, I made the rim now has a basket of yellow pear, the seller is a young girl, and he was wearing cloth cotton-padded clothes, seems to be a simple peasant girl.

Coming at this time, as the bustling crowd, a painted with the rouge lipstick, middle-aged women, also took a four or five years old girl. They come to pear stand, the middle-aged woman asked: "how much a kilo here? Sweet not sweet?" "One yuan and fifty cents a catty, very sweet." "Hum! I try." The pick and choose among the women finally picked a big, yellow pear, with a handkerchief wiped, just eat it. "Mom, I also want to!" The kid lifted her childish face, chubby little hands. A child could taste what flavor? That being said, the woman still pick out a big pear gave the little girl.

Middle-aged women finished eating pears, wipes her mouth, said: "not sweet, not to buy!" She took the little girl was walking, the little girl cried: "sweet! Sweet, pears are nice, not acid, mother love lie." All of a sudden very angry, the woman was the long face, "pa" a slap at the little girls face, "wow..." The little girl began to cry, cry also while Shouting: "mother love deceive people, mother love for petty gains." The woman has a little girl, at this time, the rural girl hurriedly come forward to stop her, took a few pears from basket to the little girl, then dont look at the woman and pushed up the car and go to another to sell the pears. The woman in people buzzed, stay there dont know what to do

Seeing this, my mind left two, one is so tall, one is so small.

寒假里的一天，我和奶奶到瓜果摊去买水果。来到一个水果摊前，趁奶奶和卖水果的人讨价还价之机，我就东看看，西瞧瞧。忽然，我犯现盘边有一筐黄澄澄的梨，卖主是一个年轻的姑娘，他穿着花布棉衣，看来是一位朴实的农村姑娘。

这时，随着熙熙攘攘的人群，走来了一个涂着口红、抹着胭脂的中年妇女，还领着一个四五岁的女孩儿。她们来到梨摊前，那个中年妇女问道：“这里多少钱一斤?甜不甜?”“一元五角一斤，很甜。”“哼!我尝尝。”那个妇女东挑西拣，最后挑了一个又大又黄的梨，用手绢擦了擦，就吃了起来。“妈妈我也要!”小孩儿仰起幼稚的小脸，伸出胖乎乎的小手。小孩子也能尝出什么味道?那位妇女虽然这样说，却仍然挑出一个大梨给了小女孩。

中年妇女吃完了梨，把嘴一擦说：“不甜，不买了!”她拉着小女孩正要走时，小女孩却喊了起来：“甜!甜，梨子真好吃，不酸，妈妈爱骗人。”那个妇女一听非常生气，顿时拉长了脸，“啪”的一巴掌打在小女孩儿的脸上，“哇……”小女孩哭了起来，一边哭还一边喊着：“妈妈爱骗人，妈妈爱占小便宜。”那个妇女有打小女孩，这时，那个农村姑娘连忙上前拦住她，从筐里拿出几个梨给小女孩儿，然后看也没看那位妇女，推起车又走向另外一个地卖梨去了。那个妇女在人们的指责声中，一下子呆在那里不知如何是好了

看到这一幕，我的脑海中留下两个身影，一个是那么高大，一个是那么渺小。

February 1st Sunday fine.

Today, my cousin came to visit our house.

At home, his cousin said, "what are we playing?" I said, "play with my drone." Then we went to play on the lawn.

When he got there, his cousin began to play. The plane flew higher and higher, and it was higher than the tree. I said to my cousin, "let me play." My cousin said, "good." I snapped the remote, and the plane flew up, and it fell down again.

"Control the remote control slowly and slowly," said cousin. I tried again, and it worked.

What a big gain I got today!

A little monkey picks up a pumpkin and wants to take it home.But the pumpkin is toobig.The monkey cant take it home.

Suddenly he sees a panda riding a bike towards him. He watches the bike. "l have a good idea. I can roll the pumpkin. It likes a wheel."

So he rolls the pumpkin to his home. When his mother sees the big pumpkin, she is surprised and says, "How can you carry it home?" The little monkey answers proudly, "l cant lift it, but l can roll it." His mother smiles and says, " What a clever boy!"

Today, as the development of the medical, people can slow down their aging. As for the celebrities, they use the developed technology to keep young, seeing their unchangeable faces in the screen for so many years, the audience also want to imitate the celebrity, they believe that by using the developed technology, they can keep young all the time. While in my opinion, the way to keep young is to hold a young heart, some people look young outside, but in their hearts, they are old enough and refuse to keep pace with the time. While for another group, even they have wrinkles, they are curious about all the things and are willing to change. My grandpa is old, but he knows all the fashionable things, sometimes I have to ask him for the new things. The young heart is the way to keep young forever.

今天，随着医疗的发展，人们能够延缓衰老。对于名人来讲，他们使用高科技来保持年轻，看到他们常年在屏幕上保持不变的容颜，观众也想要模仿名人，他们相信通过使用高科技就能一直保持年轻。然而在我看来，保持年轻的方法就是拥有一颗年轻的心，一些人表面看起来年轻，但是在他们的心里，他们足够的老，并且拒绝去与时俱进。对于另外一些人来讲，虽然他们有皱纹，但是他们对一切都保持好奇，并且愿意去改变。我的爷爷年纪大，但是他对一切时尚的东西都了如指掌，有时候我不得不问他关于新的事物。年轻的心是永葆青春的方法。

Every person needs sleep everyday. But with the high development of

society, most people have more and more things to do and have less time to

sleep. As a result, many people are lack of sleep. For a short time, they may

not realize the bad side of it, but it will bring something bad for them after a

long term. First of all, lack of sleep will do harm to people’s look. If they do

not sleep enough, they will get black eyes and bad skin easily, which will make

people look no so beautiful. Secondly, lack of sleep is bad for the spiritual

outlook. A person who lacking of sleep always looks tired and has no power to do

things. Last, not enough sleep for a long time will have bad influence of

thought. They always can’t be active in mind.

February 22nd Sunday fine.

Every Saturday, my mother will clean, very hard. I will help my mother to throw out the garbage in every room. First, all the useful waste paper is picked out and put into the waste paper bag for garbage classification. Put the basket inside the rest of the rubbish into a big bag and threw it into the door of the garbage can, then cover on new bag in the basket, with the above compression ring compression bag is ok.

Helping my mother take out the garbage can make me exercise, and I can learn more. Extend my hands, help my mother to do some of the little things I can do, I feel I have grown up!

When we read newspapers, our attention is always attracted by increasing

unemployment rate in young graduates who are leaving college. In my opinion,

there are many causes for this disquieting phenomenon and we should try to solve

the problem.

Most companies would rather employ a low-educational specialized worker

than a this-years graduate from a well-known university. For companies, they are

more likely to choose the candidates with rich working experience. Apparently

enough, the training for young graduates usually costs them a large quantity of

time and money. In addition, the current education system brings on a lot of

bookworms who are adept in theoretical but not practical knowledge. Therefore,

it is hard for those graduates to complete the practical assignments

successfully and smoothly. This is one major reason why many graduates find it

to find suitable jobs.

An un-mandatory retirement age is another factor leading to the youth

unemployment for college graduates. Along with the improving of working

efficiency, proficient employees with rich and extensive working experience get

retired at a much later age. In this case, for young graduates, there are fewer

chances to get access to the jobs taken up by the older and more

experienced.

For the first time in everyones experience! For example: the first time to

ride a bicycle, write a book, play a computer for the first time, keep a dog for

the first time, etc! And my first time is climbing!

On a sunny holiday, our family unanimously decided to take exercise -

climbing Maanshan! Maanshan ecological park is located in the south of Yangwu

village, Daling mountain. The main peak is 329.2 meters above sea level. It is

divided into two small peaks at the front and back. It is named Maanshan because

of its shape similar to Maanshan. It used to be a quarry. All the stones mined

were transported to all parts of the city as building materials, bringing

considerable economic benefits to the local area and seriously damaging the

ecological environment. In order to build a civilized, harmonious and ecological

home, the village committee decided to close the quarry and invest 5 million

yuan to build it into an ecological park. Now there are Jinling, Qixingling,

Jiti stone, Qilin mountain and other scenic spots. When I came to the foot of

Maanshan, I stared at the top of Maanshan stupidly. In my mind, I thought of the

complacent expression of climbing to the mountain. After that, I cant wait to

follow the route to the top of the mountain!

At first, I was a living tiger, just like a hungry tiger, flying to the top

of the mountain! The road is getting steeper and steeper, and the fork road runs

across. Its half the way to the top of the mountain. After a long time, the

physical strength is naturally consumed and the knowledge is not much. Im

sweating!! Seeing thousands of houses, cars and pedestrians under my feet, I

secretly encouraged myself: there is still a little way to go, stick to it, and

soon climb to the top of the mountain, dont be discouraged, learn to stick to it

on this road! Only persistence can make people succeed! Time flows silently on

me. I climb to the top of the mountain. I am ecstatic and rush forward in one

breath. Finally climbed to the top of the mountain! Ah! The scenery at the top

of the mountain is so intoxicating and impressive!

As if everything under my feet is my world! The whole village can be seen

clearly. I learned a truth from it, that is: in life, whether it is laid-off, or

encountered difficulties, or be fired and so on. Dont be discouraged. As a human

being, we should learn not to be discouraged in the face of difficulties. In all

kinds of tests of life, just like climbing a mountain, we cant give up halfway,

as long as we stick to it, we will succeed!

what s your plan for dragon boat festival?

As a chinese, I was really ashamed of having a little knowledge of dragon boat festival. Perhaps I was born in northern city, though my city is nearby sea, it has been built a U port which I can only see cargo ships and can t see the sweeping ocean. So I have never see the dragon boat contest since I was born. So the dragon boat festival is just a holiday for eating Zong Zi . My mother made Zong Zi when I was a child. Because there was no supermarket, we couldn t buy finished product from market. However, now, we can buy anything in supermarket, so my mother didn t make them anymore. The boat festival began to fade out my mind.

In reality, young people began to have a bug to celebrate foreign festivals, such as Christams, Saint Valentine s day, April Fool s Day, some people also celebrate Easter in church. Talk about Dragon boat festival, it s the same as some foreign conventional festivals, such as Witch s Day in Czech. People burned the witch s puppet so as to welcome spring. Some people are willing to celebrate foreign festivals because they like alien culture. And vice versa, foreigners who like China also concern about Chinese traditional culture.

After new holiday regulation, we have three holidays during the dragon boat festival. So many people will choose this time to travel. People who lived in Xiamen are able to visit Xiapu or Wu Yi mountain, these tourist attractions are in Fujian province,which is suit a short tirp. but I d like to stay at home for my decorate painting. I decide to draw two canvases about Christmas, it s really a big project. Then I ll hang them on the new house wall. I must start it now, or I can t finish them before Christmas eve. But I preceive it s a little difficult to draw them in such a hot season.

Mothers Day Mother’s Day is a holiday when children honor their mothers with

cards, gifts and flowers. In many countries, such as Denmark, Finland, Italy,

Turkey, Australia and the US, people cel lebrate Mother’s Day on the second

Sunday in May while many other countries of the world celebrate their own

Mother’s day at different times through out the year.

One of the best ways to celebrate Mother’s Day is to give your mom the day

off. Let her relax with the rest of the family doing all the housework. Usually,

dad and the kids will let mom sleep late that morning as they go into the

kitchen to prepare her favourite breakfast. Never forget to place a vase with a

single flower on the table beside the food. The kids can pick up the flower from

the garden or buy one from the shop. Arrange everything nicely before mom wakes

up. Some families will carry the food and mom’s favourite sections from the

newspaper to her bedroom so that mom can have breakfast in bed. Presents and

cards from the kids can be handed to mom by themselves or just placed on the

dining table.

After breakfast, go anywhere mom likes to go. Shopping, swimming or going on

a picnic in the garden. Make a special Mother’s Day dinner or take mom out for a

great meal in a famous restaurant she loves most.

Anyway ,let mom enjoy the whole day and feel your love, and then the Mother’s

Day can be a good one. As Mother’s Day is around the corner, it’s time to take

actions!
