Watching lanterns on the Lantern Festival is a traditional Chinese custom.

No, I went to see it last night. Our family has a rule: go to grandmas house on

New Years Eve, go to grandmas house on the 15th of the first month, go to

grandmas house on the first day of the new year, and go to grandmas house on

the fifth day of the new year. Therefore, it is certain to come today.

The fireworks show at Grandmas house was beautiful, with smiling faces and

circles. We had dinner there, watched a fireworks show and talked about family

affairs, so we left. When I came, I brought a box of fireworks. When we left, we

went down and put some white ones. Send my sister and them home, and well go to

the ceramic technology city to see the lanterns. The lanterns there are so

beautiful.

When I went there, what impressed me most was that I split the mountain to

save my mother. It was very vivid. Unfortunately, I didnt move. If I moved, it

would be good. Itll be more realistic. Theres another one called ghost. I

forgot, but its also very good. And the story of Cowherd and weaver girl. While

walking, I listened to my mother explain what happened to Cowherd and weaver

girl.

Gradually, I was thirsty. My mother said, "do you want pear soup?" "Yes!"

We bought two drinks, 10 yuan. Thats enough. What annoys me most is that it

tastes the same as mineral water. No, no, no, no, its harder to drink than

mineral water. I guess mineral water, edible pigment and pear slices are really

hard to drink. Walking, I saw the peacock open the screen. Its really big and

very beautiful. There are many light bulbs on a feather, led. Its time for us

to go back. Its beautiful. Its beautiful. I was dazzled.

Mother said, "always buy a souvenir home." Im so happy.

I came to several stalls. There were many kinds. I didnt know what to

choose. I finally decided to choose a mace. Because this is very attractive, I

think many people buy it. So I also bought it. After we made a price for some

time, we decided to sell it for 8 yuan. I agree very much.

When I walked quickly, I saw what I wanted to see most and liked most,

pleasant goat and grey wolf, as well as Chinas aerospace industry. I like both

of them very much. There are Tiangong 1 and Shenzhou 8. There are many kinds. I

also like them very much. The pleasant goat and grey wolf are a little too fake,

but they are also very good. There was a dragon when I went out.

It was great to see the lanterns this time. The only fly in the ointment

was the pear soup. We dont want it until weve finished drinking. I feel that

ten yuan is really wasted money. I cant buy it again next time I come. Is it

really cheating customers. I feel very, very sick. Overall, the lantern is

good.

Lets go to his house sometime.

元宵节看花灯是一种中国传统习俗。这不，昨晚我就去看了，我们这个家庭有一个规定，大年三十去姥姥家，与正月十五去姥姥家，大年初一去奶奶家，大年初五去奶奶家。所以说，今天来是必定的。

在姥姥家看的焰火汇演，可漂亮了，又打出笑脸的，又打出圆圈的。在那里吃晚饭看一会焰火汇演聊聊家常，我们就走了。来的时候搬来了一箱烟花。走的时候，我们下去放，还有几挂白色的全放了。把我姐姐他们送回家，我们就去陶瓷科技城去看花灯了。那里的花灯，真叫个漂亮啊。

去了那里，让我印象最深的是劈山救母，演的非常形象，可惜就是不动，如果动的话就好了。会更逼真，还有一个叫鬼什么来着，忘了，不过也挺好的。还有牛郎织女的故事，一边走，我一边听妈妈解释着牛郎织女是怎么一回事。

渐渐地，我有些渴了，妈妈说：“要不要梨汤?”“要!”我们俩买了两杯，10元钱啊。够坑的。最让我生气的是，竟然与矿泉水一个味，不不不不，比矿泉水还难喝啊。我猜测，矿泉水加上食用色素加了梨片，真够难喝的。走着走着，我看见了孔雀开屏，真够大啊，而且还非常漂亮。一个羽毛上有许多的灯泡，LED的。我们该向回走了，漂亮漂亮真漂亮。看得我眼都花了。

妈妈说：“总的时候买一个纪念品回家。”我高兴的要死。

我来到几个小摊前，有许多种类，我都不知道选什么好了，我最终决定，选狼牙棒。因为这个非常吸引人，我看用心许多人买呢。所以我也买了我们打价一段时间后，决定8元钱出手。我也非常同意。

快走的时候，我看到了我最想看的，也是最喜欢看的，喜羊羊与灰太狼的，还有中国航天事业的。这两项我都非常喜欢，有天宫一号，由神州八号的。多种多样，我也非常喜欢，喜羊羊与灰太狼的有一点太假了，不过也挺好的。出去的时候还有一条龙。

这次去看花灯非常爽，唯一美中不足的是买的梨汤。我们都没喝完就不要了。我感觉那十块钱真是花的冤枉钱，下一次来的时候，再也不能买了。真是欺骗客户吗。喝的我非常难受非常难受得。总体来说花灯不错。

有机会他家去看看吧。

Every day that goes over,finally,finally the students who entered the so-called "purgatory",Xue-mei,who yearn for the Tuotuo stage - the third year.I would like to have,the more senior Yes,in addition to review what can not,it more than the well-being.Shuzhi how he is a young Blair,as the math teacher said of the verbal phrase "set aside to see the essence of the phenomenon of" precarious,and this time I was deceived by the phenomenon to.As in his junior high school,middle school is very annoying; on how well the high school,when I used to think was the fact that on the high school,junior high school on time,remember life to death,and even repeating dreams are In the past,also did not expect to actually commit the same mistake in the past,did not progress.

We have recently held a class meeting to discuss the pressure upon everyone of us Senior Three students. At the meeting everyone expressed their own opinions on how to get relieved from pressure.

Pressure comes from all around: from the heavy load of learning, from the fierce competition, from teachers, and from parents. Pressure may affect our studies if there’s too much of it. However, if taken positively, a certain amount of pressure may help push us ahead.

Whenever I find there’s too much pressure, I choose to work out or listen to some light music, which seems to be quite effective. There are many approaches to getting oneself relieved when pressure accumulates. I strongly recommend that when you feel much too stressed, you stop whatever you are doing, get out into the open, take a deep breath, and start thinking of something positive.

[高中关于元宵节的英语作文

在我的记忆里，元宵节是明亮的、鲜艳的，也是能让人感到快乐温馨的一个节日。

我的家乡，元宵节又被称作灯节，这一天家家户户的大灯小灯彩灯白炽灯都会亮起来，美丽的烟花在天空中炸开，整个小镇五彩斑斓亮如白昼，整条街上灯火通明美不胜收。有的老爷爷还会在路口贩卖提前制作好了的孔明灯，通常这个时候，我们几个小伙伴就会把过年攒的压岁钱凑在一起买一只，然后傻兮兮的拽着孔明灯的底部，仰着脑袋数着一二三，可数完后却没人舍得先松手，直到头仰累了，眼睛都看酸了才恋恋不舍的放手，盯着摇摇晃晃的灯慢慢升空，变成天幕中的一个小小的光点，就像我们自己亲手放飞了一颗承载了溢满希望的小星星。

听说孔明灯飘的越远越高，许下的心愿就越容易实现，于是我们一帮小屁孩就跟在放飞了的孔明灯后面追，还要俗气的双手合十，嘴里念念有词，一面希望它能飞的越远越高，好实现自己的愿望，另一面又希望它慢点飞，让我们能再多看看……

除了看灯看烟花，元宵节更让人期待的莫过于吃元宵了。小小的元宵里面包着豆沙、黑白芝麻、白砂糖之类的，这几年随着食物品种的增加，元宵里的馅种类也丰富了起来，有香芋味的、水果味的、鲜花味的，馋的人直流口水。每次元宵节的时候，我总要缠着奶奶称上两斤元宵，一斤煮着吃，一斤炸着吃，乐呵呵的吃的满嘴都是，奶奶总笑我这副模样像只馋鱼干的小猫咪，享受又贪心。

但其实，元宵节之所以让人感觉快乐，是因为它本身就是一个快乐的节日，它预示着新一年份工作和学习生活即将开始了。元宵节后的大人们纷纷回到了自己的工作岗位上，小孩子们也开始疯狂加班加点的补年前遗留下来的寒假作业，一边迫不及待的期待着快点开学去见班上可爱的同学们，想跟他们炫耀新年的新衣服和兜里的红包，一边又祈祷着时间过的慢一点，至少等把作业做完了再开学……

元宵节是快乐的、浪漫的，也是美好的、充满了新希望的。我喜欢元宵节，喜欢它的灯火阑珊，喜欢它的甜蜜温馨，更喜欢它承载着的期待憧憬！

元宵节是中国的一个传统节日。通常在阴历年的第一个月的第十五天庆祝。元宵节是中国最大的节日之一。在元宵节到来的几天前，人们就开始做灯笼，有的被做成动物，有的被做成蔬菜，有的被做成水果，各种样式都有。做灯笼时，人们通常在上面写上谜语。在元宵节前夜，所有的灯笼都被挂起来。

在元宵节这天，人们都出来看灯笼和猜灯谜，也许你还能看见一些精彩的民间表演龙舞和秧歌。每件事都很有趣，每个人都很高兴，我们的生活丰富多彩。

Lantern Festival is a China’s traditional festival. It is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar year.

I,antern Festival is one of the biggest holidays in China.

Several days before Lantern Festival, people begin to make lanterns.

Lanterns are made in the shape of different

animals, vegetables, fruits and many, other things. While making lanterns people usually write riddles on lanterns. On the eve of Lantern Festival, all the lanterns are hung up.

On Lantern Festival people go outside to have a look at the lanterns and guess the riddles on the lanterns. Perhaps you call see some wonderful folk performances,Dragon Dance and Yangko.

Everything is very interesting and everyone is very happy. Our life is rich and varied.

I dont remember how many examinations Ive taken since I began my schooling. Truth to tell, I dont like examinations at all. I dare say that, in fact, no student likes examinations.

We often hear people say “Examinations are teachers magic weapon”, so most of us may think it is our teachers who give us students so many examinations. But I dont think so. Almost all of them have once been students before they became teachers. We dont like examinations, and neither do our teachers, which may be reasonably concluded. Whats more,the more examinations we take, the more time will be taken from our teachers and the more troubles our teachers have to take.

It is the system in our country, I think, that gives us students so many examinations. If there were no entrance examinations, and all the students could go up to the higher grades without competition, there would not be so many examinations in primary and middle schools. So it is important and necessary to reform the entrance system. Only in this way can examinations be GREatly reduced, and then all the students will be happier.

The Festival of Lanterns takes place at the end of the Chinese New Year

Celebration, on the fifteenth day of the first moon. Lanterns have been part of Chinese life for centuries so its not surprising to see a festival of lanterns. People usually hang lanterns in the gardens, outside the houses, and on the boats. These lanterns are signposts to guide guests and spirits of ancestors to the Lunar celebration. After a sumptuous fifteen-day feast, these lanterns light the way for the spirits back to the world beyond.

Silk, paper and plastic lanterns vary in shape and size and are usually multi-colored. Some are in the shapes of butterflies, birds, flowers, and

boats. Other are shaped like dragon, fruit and animal symbols of that year. The most popular type of lantern is the

The special food for the Lantern Festival is Yuen Sin or Tong Yuen. These are round dumplings made with sticky rice flour. They can be filled and served as a sweet snack or made plain and cooked in a soup with vegetables, meat and dried shrimp. The round shape of the dumpling is a symbol of wholeness, completeness and unity.

The Lantern Festival is an occasion for families to get together and for everyone--young, old, rich and poor to have fun.

[元宵节的风俗英语作文

There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.

But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and

cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the

higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light

each year.

One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven

in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny

of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided

when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.

Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the

emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to

bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of

the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he

proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would

last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.

Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the

Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of

the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of

entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which

they pray for good fortune.

Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival

speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted

and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because

the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy

the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this

plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.

The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their

imminent destruction.

However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should

hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and

explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the

village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar

day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw

that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the

Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.

From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every

year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and

fireworks.

There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is

about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the

emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying

and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her

and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was

Yuan-Xiao.

She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the

palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the

chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern

promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern

left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised

himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for

their fortunes.

But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th

lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and

asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of

Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in

red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her

mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people

asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to

check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from

Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.

I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You

should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to

the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in

trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on

the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.

Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that

the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often

cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.

Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give

an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the

same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang

red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people

outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern

decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be

deceived.

Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed

the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th

lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of

noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into

the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern

and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her

parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han

Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since

Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao

Festival.

Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.

Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns

were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer

has such implications.

Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern

parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional

Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is

guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang

Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant

harvest, prosperity and love.

Someone asks me what on earthHappinessmeans? I cant give you the exact definition of it, but Im sure if you love and help others, youll get it..

Ill never forget an old lady. She lives in a small house alone. Its said that her husband and her son died in a traffic accident. How bitter her life is!But the old lady often helps others with a smile. Whenever it snows, she is always the first to clean the paths. She looks after several children living nearby. I am one of them. I often remember the stories she told us and her kind smile. Perhaps she is unlucky, but I think she is a happy person. Her life is full of laughter and love.

But Im sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad ways.They speak loudly in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy trees to enjoy themselves and they laugh at others shortcomings. Perhaps they feel happy at that time, but they will never get true happiness because they have lost their personality.

Now I know what happiness is. It means kindness, love and unselfishness. Above all, only bringing happiness to others can make you yourself get it.

Lantern Festival is a China’s traditional festival. It is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar year.

I,antern Festival is one of the biggest holidays in China. Several days before Lantern Festival, people begin to make lanterns. Lanterns are made in the shape of different animals, vegetables, fruits and many, other things. While making lanterns people usually write riddles on lanterns. On the eve of Lantern Festival, all the lanterns are hung up.

On Lantern Festival people go outside to have a look at the lanterns and guess the riddles on the lanterns. Perhaps you call see some wonderful folk performances,Dragon Dance and Yangko. Everything is very interesting and everyone is very happy. Our life is rich and varied.

he Lantern Festival is a very busy day. On the Lantern Festival this year, I went to the small square with my mom and dad to watch the Lantern Festival. When we walk on the road, I see the small square is a sea of people, very lively. I cant wait to get a small square, where the lights are all kinds of pagoda shaped, with lights, big fish shaped lamps, saw a whoosh, a fireworks into the sky, in the sky from colorful light.

One of the lanterns slowly rising into the sky and gradually drifted toward the east.

After watching the lights and returning home, I decided that next years Lantern Festival would also go to the small square to see the lights. I believe that the Lantern Festival next year will be more lively than this year.

Open happy heart just after the Spring Festival, is celebrated the Lantern Festival. Today is Friday, our school has carried out a happy celebration of this days activity.

In the morning, I was carrying a bag as usual went to the school, at the entrance of the building, he saw a big, red lanterns hanging above. Oh!

开开心心的春节刚过，就迎来了热闹的元宵节。今天是星期五，我们学校开展了开开心心庆元宵的活动。

开开心心庆元宵活动在欢声笑语中结束。

After a while, fireworks stopped. The sound but did not stop, because we heard a rustling sound, like a meteor shower, is we just wait and see, some petty pleasures, colorful confetti fall on our heads, we cried, laughing, hide...

The Lantern Festival is both interesting and fulfilling, let my mood again into the climax, really beautiful! In the blast a firecrackers and fireworks, my sweet sleep.

一年一度的元宵节开始了。虽然我们必须上学，但班上似乎也暖洋洋的。下午，我们班破例召开了猜灯谜活动，但我对这些活动兴趣一般，因为我等着晚上……

终于熬到了晚上，天已经完全黑下，外面不时传来鞭炮和礼花声，天上一朵朵“花”争着开放，看，又一个大的礼花点燃了，“嗖”的一声第一发礼花冲向黑黑的夜空，随着“咚”的一声一朵绚丽的菊花开放在空中，紧接着一朵又一朵的礼花在黑夜中绽放，有红的，像牡丹;也有白的，是梨花;还有红白相间的礼花，更是美上加美。他们的形状也各不相同：有的像足球;有的像鸡蛋;甚至有的商家为了生意，还把自己的商标做成礼花，我就看到了一个三菱标志的礼花，我心想：现在的科技真高级，连礼花都能做成这样!

过了一会儿，礼花停了。可是声音却没停，因为我们听到了一种沙沙的声音，好像流星雨一样，正在我们仰头观望的时候，一些碎碎的、五颜六色的纸屑落在了我们的头上身上，我们叫着、笑着、躲着……

这个元宵节既有趣又充实，让我自己的心情又一次进入了高潮，真美呀!在阵阵鞭炮和礼花声中，我甜甜的睡了。

“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂”。一年一度的清明节又来了，现在我来说说清明节扫墓的事吧。

"Qingming Festival have rain, pedestrians deep sorrow". Once a year the festival has come, now I say Qingming sweep the tombs of the thing.

我和妈妈、还有姑姑和姑父在中午吃了点饭，开车来到爷爷墓地的山下。路过香烛店，买了些纸钱和香。我们开始爬山了。开始的山路很好走，后来路越来越难走，我看了看下面，啊!这座山可真高啊!要是一旦掉下去，就会“粉身碎骨”了。真是步步惊心啊!终于到了爷爷的墓地，这个墓可真大啊!后面长着许多特意种的草和花，我说：“这是不是爷爷的头发啊?”大人们都笑起来了，妈妈尴尬地说：“快点过来，这么不懂事!”然后我就跪拜爷爷，心里默默地念着：“祝爷爷在天堂好好的。”然后爸爸给了爷爷旁边的邻居一点纸钱，烧了。我问爸爸为什么，爸爸笑笑说：“当然要给邻居一点钱呀。”然后爸爸给爷爷烧钱，烧完钱，我们就开始吃青团，我吃完青团，又吃了两个草莓，喝了一瓶王老吉就下山去了。

My mother and aunt and uncle, and ate a meal at noon, drove grandpa cemetery hill. Pass by incense shop, bought some paper money and incense. We started to climb the mountain. Beginning of the road was very good, then more and more difficult road to go, I looked down, ah! The mountain is so tall! If once the fall ", will be smashed to pieces.". Its startling step by step! Finally to Grandpas tomb, the tomb can be really big ah! There are many kinds of special behind the grass and flowers, I said: "this Shi Bushi grandpas hair?" Everyone laughed, mother embarrassed to say: "come on, so not sensible!" Then I will bow down to Grandpa, mind reading silently: "wish him well in heaven." Then the father gave him the next door neighbor, a little money, burn. I asked my dad why, my father smiled and said: "of course give neighbors a little money." And then my dad grandpa burn, burn money, we began to eat the Youth League, I finished my youth, and had two strawberry, drank a bottle of Wang Laoji came down to the.

清明节扫墓，既开心又有点悲伤。

Tomb Sweeping Day sweep the tombs, both happy and sad.

I have heard a beautiful poetry, written by a novelist, Amy Cheung. With a little adjustment, it can vividly depict the alienation among people in reality - "The further distance in the world is not between life and death. But when I stand in front of you, your eyes turn to your smartphone; don’t know that I love you."

The smartphone has been gaining a great popularity, becoming a toxic compulsion. It has invaded our lives and occupied all our interstitial time. It is so commonly seen that the smartphone addicts attend to their phone, ignoring everything. Even meeting with friends, they often pull out the phone in order to take a photo, check a message or even play with a game. Seeming connected with the whole world, they have actually fiddled the conversation and done harm to the relationship.

It is high time that we threw away the phone and raised our heads up. Do cherish the ones around us and appreciate the splendid scenery ahead of us.

The fifteenth day of the first arrived, my family and I go to the lantern.

Can be busy in the street, people mountain people sea. At seven o clock is very to, start with fireworks, "bang..." Voice rings, the fireworks are green, red, yellow, purple, colorful, colorful. Look, a "super-sized" fireworks fly the sky, and then with a roar, and fireworks sprayed out of the little one was full of the sky, sometimes like a bauhinia, sometimes like a chrysanthemum. Some township, bine... "Bang! Bang" rang again, and some bread with a small bee in fireworks, after the blast, emit the light of fireflies. The colorful decorated enveloped the entire lijin county. See gold waterfall flows down, every gold falls and shiny golden flowers covered with earth. As the tang dynasty poet li bai have cloud: "plunges three thousand feet, suspected galaxy nine days."

Watching the fireworks, we go to see the lanterns again, we saw the Chinese zodiac, they seemed to be waving to us, the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse,... In the said the New Years blessing to tourists. Further on, we saw the Disneyland, the inside of the Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, such as "master", they are playing Musical Instruments, are thriving, a happy New Year! We also see "three kingdoms" lamp, zhang fei and guan yu, liu bei, three people, they in taoyuan sworn brother, I seem to hear them say: "although we cant born in the same year on the same day, I wish we are in the same year on the same day to death." And drums, gongs, it sounds really beautiful melody.

I had a really happy today.

正月十五到了，我和家人一起去看花灯。

街上可热闹了，人山人海的。七点十分到了，开始放烟花了，“砰……”的声音响起来，烟花有绿的、红的、黄的、紫的，五彩缤纷，绚丽多彩。看，一个“超大号”的烟花飞上了天，紧接着随着一声轰鸣，又绽放出了一个个小一号烟花布满了天空，有的像紫荆花、有的像菊花。有的乡市迎春花……又“砰!砰”的响了几声，有的烟花里面包着小蜜蜂，炸开以后，发射出萤火虫一样的光。五颜六色的彩花笼罩了整个利津县城。看黄金瀑布流淌下来了，每一根金丝落下来，闪闪的金花铺满了大地。正如唐代诗人李白所云：“飞流直下三千尺，疑是银河落九天。”

看完烟花，我们又去看花灯，我们看见了十二生肖，它们好像在向我们挥手，鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、马……在向游人表示新春的祝福。再往前走，我们看见了迪士尼乐园，里面的米老鼠、唐老鸭等“主人”，它们演奏着各种乐器，真是歌舞升平，恭贺新岁啊!我们还看见了“三国演义”灯，有张飞、关羽、刘备三人，他们在桃园结拜兄弟，我仿佛听见了他们在说：“我们虽不能同年同日生，但愿我们同年同日死。“还有敲鼓的，打锣的，那声音的确美妙动听。

今天我过得真高兴。
