在12月24日这天，所有的小孩都很兴奋。他们常常被(父母)早早地赶上床去睡觉，以便他们的父母能准备好礼物。年幼一点的小孩认为圣诞老人将从烟囱或壁炉里下来，所以他们挂起袜子，方便圣诞老人把礼物放进去。有些贪心的人，为了能得到更多的礼物，甚至把枕套或布袋挂起来。晚一些时候，爸爸或妈妈将礼物放进袜子，并把其他礼物放在(孩子们的)床边。

圣诞节的早上，小孩们很早就醒来了。一些人甚至在凌晨两点开灯，但大多数小孩会在六点醒来，孩子们在(大人们)准备晚餐的时候玩耍。下午一点，圣诞大餐出炉了。火鸡或鸡腿总是很快被抢光。孩子们寻找着属于他们的圣诞布丁是为了确认金币是否有藏在里面。在剩余的时间里，(人们)便是玩游戏和吃食物直到最开心幸福的圣诞节结束。

In my early years, I did not see the value of education.

When I was going on thirteen, I started to run my own shop. From then on, I worked hard to become a successful businessman.

One day I realized the importance of the English language in the business world and started taking night classes.

I was able to communicate well with foreign customers after two years of English study. But I started to feel that, in the long run, having a limited knowledge of English was not enough to make my business successful. I knew that only a well- rounded education could guarantee my success in the future.

When I was eighteen, I had to make a decision to continue doing business or go back to school. There was one obstacle keeping me from getting an advanced education. I had only completed elementary school up to that point. I then went back to senior high school after four months of tutoring in different subjects. Being at school for the first time after so many years was somewhat embarrassing because my classmates were at least two or three years younger than I. I concluded that my age did not matter. The important thing was getting into college.

I took the College Entrance Exams. Although my math exam result was only one point below the required score. I never gave up hope. The following year, I took it again and received the highest score in my city. Achieving such an amazing result gave me encouragement and courage necessary to continue my education to the next step.

I am now in my second year of college and know that it is never too late to learn. My passion for studying and improving myself will never come to a halt as long as I continue to live.

“Live and Learn.” is the motto I have adopted. I believe with an education I will succeed. So, if you are wondering whether education is important, don’t hesitate a moment to step up and seize the opportunity.

中秋节始于唐朝初年，盛行于宋朝，至明清时，已成为与春节齐名的中国传统节日之一，是流行于中国众多民族与汉字文化圈诸国的传统文化节日，下面是小编为您带来的是中秋节英语作文素材相关内容，希望对您有所帮助。

Today is the annual mid autumn festival. In the evening, darkness began to fall. The little birds of the sky have long called back to their nests. The sunset faded away, and their eyes were gone. The black curtain covered the whole land. The moon has risen into the sky, trying to drive the darkness away.

"Wow, the moon is so round today."!" My brother suddenly shouted to me. I said: "how to make a fuss about it, Mid Autumn Festival, the moon is big and round."!" "Right enough!" Next to her sister went on to say. At this time, I found that the stars in the sky are extremely rare, is really bright ah!

Today evening dishes especially rich: sweet and sour fish, green asparagus soup boiled chicken ribs...... It really makes me look dizzy. When I had dinner, I felt very delicious and enjoyed it very much. Usually I have to eat more than half an hour for a meal. I eat very fast today. In less than ten minutes, I finished my meal. My father praised me for my fast food! I smiled and thought, "if every day the dishes are so good, then my meal will certainly eat every day quickly.". Today, there are so many people in our family that we really have a family reunion dinner.

After dinner, after some time, I went to the moon cake box open, and then give everyone a moon cake. They sat in the yard eating moon cakes and admiring the moon. I looked up at the golden yellow moon in the dark blue sky. I didnt want to mention how happy I was!

今天是一年一度的中秋节。傍晚，夜幕开始慢慢降临。天上的小鸟早就鸣叫着回了巢。晚霞也逐渐消失了，不见了它们的踪影。黑色的幕布笼罩了整个大地。月亮也已经升上了天空，竭力驱赶着黑暗。

“哇，今天的月亮好圆呀！”我身边的弟弟突然叫了起来。我说：“怎么大惊小怪，中秋节嘛，月亮当然又大又圆！”“果然如此啊！”旁边的妹妹接着说。这时，我发现天空中的星星特别少，真是月明星稀呀！

今天晚上的小菜特别丰盛：有糖醋鱼、排骨绿笋汤，白斩鸡……真是让我看得眼花缭乱。吃饭的时候，我觉得特别好吃，吃得津津有味。平时，一顿饭我要吃半个多小时，今天我吃得特别快。不到十分钟，我就吃完了饭。爸爸夸我吃得快！我笑了，心想如果每一天的小菜都这样好，那我的饭一定会天天吃得快。今天，我们家里到的人也特别多，真的是吃了一餐团圆饭。

吃完饭，过了一些时间，我去把月饼盒子打开，然后分给每一个人一个月饼。大家坐在院子里一边吃着月饼，一边欣赏月亮。我抬起头看着深蓝色的天空中那一轮金黄色的圆月，心里别提有多高兴了！

Success, as is known, is the pursuit of many ambitious people. It requires much of a person.

In my  above all, one should be a person of strong perseverance. Rome was not built in a day. On our long way to success, there are  undoubtedly many difficulties standing in the way. If we lose heart and give up

halfway, nothing can be achieved. Throughout history, we havehad many famous successful people in the world, of whom no one is weak-minded. Take the great American scientist Edison as an example, he tried experiment after experiment and had one failure after another before he finally invented the bulb, which lighted up the whole world. So we can conclude perseverance can surely be one of the secrets of success. Furthermore, one needs to work hard to realize his dream just as the famous saying goes “Hard work leads to success”.

Look at these around us and we’ll find diligent people are always the favor of our society. They usually achieve more than expected. Why do so many of our classmates of average intelligence go far ahead of othersHard work is definitely supposed to be the answer. And still, I hold that one must keep in pace with the informative world. There’s no denying that our world is changing every day. So one can never be locked alone inside his own room, doing his research work and dedicated to book knowledge

How can an isolated person be well-informed enough to go ahead of othersIf so, that could be ridiculous. Success is what one desires. So long as one is perseverant, hard working and up-to-date, I am sure success is near at hand

导语：Where there is life，there is hope.留得青山在，不怕没柴烧。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文素材，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

每年的公历四月五日前后为清明节，是二十四节气之一。今年的清明节是4月4日。在二十四个节气中，既是节气又是节日的只有清明。清明节是我国传统节日，也是最重要的祭祀节日。按照旧的习俗，祭祀(扫墓)时，人们要携带酒食果品、纸钱等物品到墓地，将食物供祭在亲人墓前，再将纸钱焚化，为坟墓培上新土，折几枝嫩绿的新枝插在坟上，然后叩头行礼祭拜，最后吃掉酒食回家。清明节，又叫踏青节，正是春光明媚草木吐绿的时节，也正是人们春游的好时候，所以古人有清明踏青，并开展一系列体育活动的的习俗。直到今天，清明节祭拜祖先，悼念已逝的亲人的习俗仍很盛行。

Celebrated two weeks after the vernal equinox， Tomb Sweeping Day is one of the few traditional Chinese holidays that follows the solar calendar-- typically falling on April 4， 5， or 6.

Its Chinese name "Qing Ming" literally means "Clear Brightness，" hinting at its importance as a celebration of Spring. Similar to the spring festivals of other cultures， Tomb Sweeping Day celebrates the rebirth of nature， while marking the beginning of the planting season and other outdoor activities.

Qing Ming Jiein Ancient Times

An old man takes one last look before leaving the City Cemetery at Biandanshan of Wuhan， Central Chinas Hubei Province.In ancient times， people celebrated Qing Ming Jie with dancing， singing， picnics， and kite flying. Colored boiled eggs would be broken to symbolize the opening of life. In the capital， the Emperor would plant trees on the palace grounds to celebrate the renewing nature of spring. In the villages， young men and women would court each other.

The Tomb Sweeping Day as Celebrated Today

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.

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.

Honoring Ancestors

Honoring ancestors begins with proper positioning of a gravesite and coffin. Experts in feng shui， or geomancy， determine the quality of land by the surrounding aspects of streams， rivers， trees， hills， and so forth. An area that faces south， with groves of pine trees creates the best flow of cosmic energy required to keep ancestors happy. Unfortunately， nowadays， with Chinas burgeoning population， public cemetaries have quickly surplanted private gravesites. Family elders will visit the gravesite at least once a year to tend to the tombs.

While bland food is placed by the tombs on Qing Ming Jie， the Chinese regularly provide scrumptious offerings to their ancestors at altar tables in their homes. The food usually consists of chicken， eggs， or other dishes a deceased ancestor was fond of. Accompanied by rice， the dishes and eating utensils are carefully arranged so as to bring good luck. Sometimes， a family will put burning incense with the offering so as to expedite the transfer of nutritious elements to the ancestors. In some parts of China， the food is then eaten by the entire family.Kites

Besides the traditions of honoring the dead， people also often fly kits on Tomb Sweeping Day. Kites can come in all kinds of shapes， sizes， and colors. Designs could include frogs， dragonflies， butterflies， crabs， bats，and storks.
