In China, Mid-autumn Day is considered to be a symbol of family reunion. On this day, all the family members gather together at home to celebrate this special occasion. Last year, I could not celebrate the festival with my family because I was in university. However, this special day left a deep impression on me.

I still remember the atmosphere of that evening. All the students who could not go back home assembled in our classroom, having a party to celebrate this traditional festival. We tried our best to show our own enthusiasm. As an ethnic minority, I performed a peacock dance, which received warm applause. After the two-hour party, we went out to the playground and sat together to appreciate the moon because it is a tradition on Mid-autumn Day. We ate moon cakes, played cards, and listened to romantic poems recited by one of our classmates. In that harmonious atmosphere, nobody felt lonely or homesick even though we were far away from our homes.

Thanks to our classmates, I experienced such a colorful and interesting Mid-autumn Day at my university. Thus, I learned to value all the festivals I spent during my university life. 中秋节英文作文（三）

There are some traditions in this holiday. For example, people would have a big dinner with there families. After dinner, they often enjoy the full moon which is round and bright. The other tradition of mid-autumn festival is eating moon cake. Moon cake is the essential of that day, which means reunion. As time goes by, there are various kinds of moon cakes, but they are much more expensive than before.

I like mid-autumn festival because my families will get together and have a big dinner on that day.

The goal of my life is living a simple happy and healthy life.

What I want is a simple life not a complicated one.Because what my job or career offers me are difficult issues which I must handle them properly, and sometimes they are so boring and tedious,but I have to do.So after a days work, I want to have a break and do some things which would provide me happiness and a harmonious life. It is so simple like that, I have a supper with my families talking some funny and humourous topics, or I sit on grass with who I loved looking at the beautiful sky and counting the numbers of the stars. It is simple, but very harmonious and romantic.

I also want to spend sometime on my hobbies,such as playing table tennis,badminton,basketball and so forth.I like sports very much and I believe it will benefit me all my life.What I gained from sports are not only speed,strength and skill but also competitiveness,teamwork and so on.Sports could give me a strong and energetic body and a healthy life.

The goals of my life are just written as above,and they will be pursued by myself all my life.

Cinderella is a beautiful girl. She has two ugly stepsisters. They are not kind to Cinderella. Cinderella does all of the work. She must cook, clean and do everything.

One day, a letter comes to the house. It is a letter from the prince. He will have a big party. He would like the three girls to come. The prince wants to find a wife. Cinderella cant go to the party because she doesnt have beautiful clothes. Her stepsisters have beautiful clothes. They look very happy. Cinderella is very sad. Cinderellas stepsisters leave the house. They are going to the princes party. Cinderella cries. She also wants to go to the party. Suddenly, a woman shows up. She is a kind fairy.

"Dont worry," says the fairy. "You can go to the princes party." "I cant go," cries Cinderella. "I dont have a nice dress."

It will be all right," says the fairy. "Go get a pumpkin, six mice and a rat." Cinderella quickly finds them. "What will you do?" Cinderella asks. The fairy waves her wand over the pumpkin.

The pumpkin is now a beautiful silver coach. The fairy waves her wand over the six mice. She changes them into six strong men. The six men will walk with the coach. Then the fairy changes the rat into a man. He is the driver of the coach.

The coach is beautiful, but Cinderella still looks sad. "I still cant go to the party. My dress is too ugly," she says. "Dont worry," says the fairy. She waves her wand and makes Cinderellas dress beautiful.

Now Cinderella has a nice dress. It is gold and very pretty. Her shoes are made of glass. Cinderella is so beautiful. She can go to the party.

"You must leave the party before twelve oclock," says the fairy. "At 12:00 the magic will end."

"I will be back before twelve oclock," says Cinderella. She gets into the coach to go to the party.

The princes palace is full of people. They are all happy to be at the big party. All the girls want to marry the prince. Then Cinderella walks into the palace. "Who is she?" everyone asks. "Shes so beautiful," they say.

The prince sees Cinderella. He asks her to dance with him. All night long they dance and talk. The prince and Cinderella fall in love. At twelve oclock, Cinderella runs out of the palace.

Cinderella runs and loses one of her glass shoes. She must get home before twelve. She is late. She runs into the house. Now, she is wearing her old dress again.

The prince finds Cinderellas shoe. "I know this shoe. It belongs to that beautiful girl. Ill find her," he says. The next morning, he goes from house to house to find her. He goes to Cinderellas house. The two ugly stepsisters try on the shoe, but their feet are too big.

"Can I try it on?" asks Cinderella. "Yes," the prince says, so Cinderella tries the shoe on. It fits her foot. "I have found my princess," the prince says. Soon Cinderella and the prince get married. They live happily ever after.

There are many rules in our school.

From Monday to Friday，we have to get to school before 7：00 in the morning.

We must wear school uniforms，and I think it is good for us because uniforms can

make us look smart. We must listen to our teachers carefully in class and finish

our homework after school. We are not allowed to use mobile phones in class. I

think the rules are very strict but useful，and we should follow them. However，we

have so much homework that we have little free time to do what we love to

do.

In my opinion，we should have more free time to take part in all kinds of

activities and improve our abilities.

During the summer holidays, I went to my grandmothers home. One evening after supper, I stood on the balcony to look at the sky.

The stars in the sky were twinkling. Some were crowded, and others were separate. Then I found that the stars were not the same colour. They were white, grey, light blue and orange. It was really beautiful. At that time, the sky was like blue damask decorated by millions of bright dimonds.

Looking up at the sky, I saw the moon. It was like a naughty child, sometimes it hid in the clouds and sometimes it got out of the clouds. It seemed to play “hide and seek” with us. The stars around the moon, however, were as shy as girls, and hid themselves in the clouds.

Oh, what a beautiful sky!

在暑假期间，我去了我奶奶家。晚餐后的一个晚上，我站在阳台上看天空。

天上的星星闪烁着。有些人很拥挤，有些人则是分开的。然后我发现星星不一样的颜色。他们是白色，灰色，浅蓝色和橙色。真漂亮。那时候，天空是蓝色的缎子数以百万计的明亮的钻石装饰。

抬头望着天空，我看到了月亮。它就像一个顽皮的孩子，有时它藏在云层里，有时它就从云层里出来了。它似乎和我们玩“捉捉”。然而，月亮周围的星星，像女孩一样害羞，并躲在云层里。

哦，多么美丽的天空!

Today I found time was a cruel thing。 Whatever man is， time always goes on。

It won’t stay to wait for somebody。 You can’t use anything to exchange time。

Time is also a fair thing。 Although you have a lot of money or you enjoy high

reputation， time won’t leave them more。 Today I found I hadn’t enough time。

Although I have more than a-month holiday， but I found I had a lot of things to

do。 I had a lot of homework to do and I am essential to plete the homework as

soon as I have time。

I have never been to Shenzhen before. Many times, I dream of visiting Shenzhen because Shenzhen is a very modern,busy and beautiful city. and today, my dream has come true.

I am walking around the city center of Shenzhen and there are so many tall buildings on the sides of the streets. the streets are very big,straight and clean.I can see the buses,taxis,trains and cars on the road. people can choose their favourite way to go to work or travel. because there are a lot of department stores and supermarkets in Shenzhen,people can go shopping any where they wanted.

At night,Shenzhen becomes even more beatiful and colourful with all kinds of light. by walking on the street, you cant really tell where it is. it may be HongKong,Shanghai.

There are many scenery spots in Shenzhen.such as Folk Culture Village, Happy Valley, window of the world. but my favourite place is the window of the world.because i neednt go abroad but i can see the most of famous places in the world.

Shenzhen is an amazing city and i enjoy my visiting there so much.

People always say that a fathers love is like the mountain, which means

the love is strong but not obvious, because men are generally not good at

expressing themselves. I read an article about a fathers love. He wrote a

letter to his child, which was about three years old. In the letter, he

expressed his future concern about the problems that the kid would face and the

father told the kid to be strong. From the letter, people could feel the strong

power that father would always support you, no matter what happens. I complain

about my father sometimes, because he is so busy, but at this moment, I

understand him.

With the development of the Internet, many people are used to shopping

online. It has become a fashion in our daily life. Some of us students also join

the group.

Shopping online has many advantages. Just by a click of the mouse, you can

buy what youre interested in without going outdoors. You can avoid getting

tired and being trapped in the crowded people and cars and save time. When

shopping online, you can choose from more varieties of goods, whose prices are

generally lower.

Every coin has two sides. Its disadvantages are obvious, too. On the one

hand, its very easy for you to buy goods different from the pictures you see on

the Internet. On the other hand, shopping online may cause people to buy goods

that are not badly needed. Thats a waste of money.

All in all, I love shopping online.

Today is fathers day. Im going to buy a gift for my dad with my pocket

money, so I "kill" the little fat piggy bank.

I walked into the room and said to my father, "dad, I broke something."

Father got angry, blew his beard and stared, and he kicked me in the ass without

saying a word. I was kicked out.

I took my pocket money and didnt go back to the shoe store. At the shoe

store, I said to my bosss shoes, "buy an adults shoes." The boss say: "you are a

child, how can buy adults shoes?" I told my boss it was for my father. The boss

asked me again, "how big is your fathers foot?" I turned my butt up and showed

him the footprints of my father. The boss was surprised at first, but he

immediately responded, laughing and saying, "youve got your size on your

ass."

今天是父亲节。我要拿着零花钱买礼物给爸爸，所以我把存钱的小肥猪“杀”了。

我神秘兮兮地走进房间对爸爸说：“爸爸我不小心打破了东西。”爸爸生气了，吹胡子瞪眼睛的，一句话也没说，就一脚踢到了我的屁股上。我被踢了出去。

我拿着零花钱，头也不回地往鞋店跑去。到了鞋店，我对老板大人的鞋说：“买一双大人的鞋。”老板说：“你是小孩，怎么能买大人的鞋呢?”我告诉老板是给爸爸买的。老板又问我：“你爸爸的脚有多大?”我就把屁股翘起来给老板看爸爸踢的脚印。老板起初很惊讶，但他马上就反应了过来，笑着说：“原来你已经把尺寸画在屁股上了。”

放假时间，最好出去游玩放松心情。下面小编带来的是重庆一日游英文作文，希望对你有帮助。

This winter holiday, our family has been driving to a beautiful mountain city in Chongqing.

As soon as we arrived in Chongqing, we understood why Chongqing was called "mountain city". "Mountain city", as the name suggests, is built on the mountain in the city, and the Chengdu plain is completely different, feeling a lot of thought to plan. Its a bit like terrain of rolling hills, most of the house is located on the hillside, there are many overpasses and tunnels. By the way, because the Yangtze River passes through Chongqing, so many bridges have been built, although it is a little messy, but it does not lose their personality.

On the first night in Chongqing, we tasted the authentic Chongqing hot pot. Chongqing is really the birthplace of the real hot pot, a lot of red hot pepper is full of the whole pot, so people can not imagine how hot it is. Although the Chongqing hot pot does not add oyster oil, but it is not less than the Chengdu hot pot. I caught a piece of cooked tofu, smell the smell, naturally ran into my nose; a bite, feel soft; swallow it down my throat and slide down, finally landed in a corner of my stomach, feel itchy, fresh and delicious. Without the slightest greasy feeling. Its delicious!

After eating hot pot, we went to a "tree" in Nanshan. "A tree" is located at the highest level in Chongqing, where we can have a beautiful view of Chongqing. Look, that is the central business building, touch the sky, standing on the edge of the Yangtze River; see, it is located in downtown Monument for Liberation, quietly; see, the light lamp glimmered in the distance, continue to spread around, busy high streets and back lanes, brilliantly illuminated! Look, the lights like salute "karaok" and "bomb", then a bunch of a beam like rocket like, fly to the sky, with the whole of Chongqing, red, yellow, blue, green, purple, more eye-catching in the dark background.

Ah! The beautiful Chongqing is like a city of no night!

......

On the morning of the third day, we departed from the beautiful mountain city of Chongqing with a feeling of satisfaction and very unable to part.

今年寒假，我们全家自驾车到美丽的山城。

刚到重庆，我们便明白了重庆为什么被称为“山城”。“山城”，顾名思义，就是建在山上的城市，和完全不同，感觉很费了些心思来规划。它的地形有点像连绵起伏的小山丘，房子大多数都座落在山坡上，有很多的立交桥和隧道。对了，因为长江穿过重庆，所以还建了很多过江大桥，虽然有点凌乱，但也不失个性。

来重庆的第一天晚上，我们便尝到了正宗的。重庆真是名副其实的火锅发源地，一大堆火红的就占满了整个锅，让人都不敢想象它到底有多辣。虽然没有加，但也丝毫不比成都火锅逊色。我夹了一片煮熟的豆腐干，闻一闻，那香味自然而然地就跑进了我的鼻子；咬一口，觉得软软的；吞下去，它便顺着我的喉咙滑下去，最后落在了我肚子的某个角落里，感觉痒痒的，清爽可口，却没有丝毫的油腻感。好吃极了！

吃完火锅，我们便去了南山的“一棵树”，“一棵树”位于重庆地势最高处，在这里可以将美丽的重庆尽收眼底。看，那是中央商务大楼，高耸入云，矗立在长江边上；看，那是，静静地座落在市中心；看，远处闪烁着的那几盏射灯，不断地向四周扩散开来，繁华的大街小巷，灯火辉煌！看，那信号灯似的礼炮“咻咻咻”、“轰轰轰”，一束接着一束，像火箭筒似的，飞向天空，装点着整个重庆，红的、黄的、蓝的、绿的、紫的，在黑夜的衬托下变得更加绚丽夺目。

啊！美丽的重庆真像是一座不夜城！

……

在第三天早晨，我们怀着恋恋不舍而又十分满足的心情离开了美丽的山城重庆。
