The Spring Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday,the family get together to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.

The Spring Festival is my grandmother home,early in the morning I help grandma stick couplets,stick hang "happiness" upside down,busy for quite a while,and then I went to the kitchen to help grandma a big New Years eve dinner,grandma kua I grow up.After dinner,my brother and I went out to set off firecrackers,is really very interesting,eat Chinese New Year eve dumplings,I followed my parents back to his home.

This years Spring Festival Im happy,and you?

Is cold in the winter of this year, every day I watch the weather forecast, know this several days the highest temperature to ten degrees or so. This kind of weather is easy to catch a cold, so wear more clothes. My Spring Festival to the weather is a little different, is "warm".

My grandma and grandpa, the pain, the most concerned about me, they not only care about me, but will also forgive me, give me a reason. Unlike impulse dad, I do wrong, he is not playing, is called. But also cant completely said father very impulse, as long as Im not being naughty, my dad is very kind to me. In recent years, my performance is progress than before, was beaten, always to be changed, now they is very kind to me. I feel warm in my heart, let me forget the bone-chilling cold. Therefore, although this years weather is so cold, but my heart is always flooded with a stream of warm current.

Hope everybody can like me, have a happy Spring Festival.

今年的冬天格外的冷，我天天看天气预报，知道这几天最高温度才十度左右。这种天气很容易感冒，所以要多穿衣服。可我的春节跟天气比起来有点儿不一样，是“暖和”的。

我的爷爷、奶奶最疼、最关心我了，他们不仅关心我，而且还会原谅我，给我讲道理。不像冲动的爸爸，我做错事，他不是打，就是骂。可是也不能完全说爸爸很冲动，只要我不调皮捣蛋，爸爸还是很和蔼地对待我。近年来，我的表现比以前进步了，以前总被挨打，今非昔比，如今他们对我可好了。我心里感到暖烘烘的，让我忘记刺骨的严寒。因此，尽管今年的天气是那样的寒冷，但是我的心里却总是涌着一股暖流。

希望大家能和我一样，度过一个愉快的春节。

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.

This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living.

In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.

When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.

Life is full of hope, I am most looking forward to the Spring Festival. As the growth of the age, the reason why I look forward to the Spring Festival is also changed.

When I was babble, looking forward to the Spring Festival because the Spring Festival in many adults to visit, they will be praised me when they saw me grow very cute, let my heart fruity.

After kindergarten, I begin to love to play. So I look forward to the Spring Festival is to play with friends. We set off firecrackers, clay, hide and seek, wreaths...

In elementary school, I know that money can buy, buy books, stationery, buy groceries, you can also save with university, this is the reason why I look forward to the Spring Festival.

Now, I enjoy the beautiful scenery. Looking forward to the Spring Festival reason again in the Spring Festival, the spring is coming. Spring is a green world, a world full of. Flowers, warbler dancing butterflies fly, grass spring peach bright, this is the characteristics of the spring. Spring breeze blowing, it was the angel of voice, with all sorts of color of paint, dye red the gills of the peach blossom, white pear flower face, stained from the winter jasmine pigtails. It also blew the cx, green branches, blue sky, blowing and a smile on the surface of the lake. Float to the spring rain, it is a thread in the hands of a voice, a glimmer, embroidered with a piece of green. Schools of thought contend, flowers, birds, the beautiful spring, snow and ice melt. The ancients said, "people in the picture", it is exactly.

The Happy Spring Festival Spring festival is on the first day of the first lunar month. Chinese people most like the Spring Festival. During Spring Festival, Chinese people like having meals with their families, playing fireworks in the open air. My sisters and I played fireworks on that day. We had many fireworks. They were very beautiful. They were running into the sky and breaking into pieces. They looked like flowers in the sky. We were very happy and excited. After that, I made a wish. I hope that, we can have a happy and healthy life next year and everyone in my family can be happy. I enjoy the festival very happy.

春节是在第一个月的第一天。中国人最喜欢春节。在春节期间，中国人喜欢和自己的家人一起吃饭，一起放焰火在空旷的地方。在那天，我和我姐姐一起放焰火。我们有很多的焰火。它们非常漂亮。它们升上天空并且使一些地方变得很亮。在天空中，它们看起来像是花。我们很高兴也很兴奋。在这之后，我许了一个愿，我希望，在来年，我们能够高高兴兴并且拥有健康的生活，还有每一个人在我们家庭里都可以开开心心。我感到在这个节日里非常高兴。

My plan of next year

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

Just as the old saying：“Well began is the half 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 of course I will get better result than the others.

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

I think Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. It’s a beginning that is new and full of luck for Chinese.

A few days before the Spring Festival, people will clean their house and do some shopping. They’re busy days for adults because of much house’s work. But children always look forward to the coming of those days, which is due to buying much delicious food and many beautiful clothes. Al seems new during those days.

In the New Year’s Eve, children will have their bodies cleaned and dress nice clothes early. Why do they seem to be poppet? Because adults always give more lucky money to the good children.

In the evening, all the members of family will sit around the table and have a big meal. Fish and meat often appears on the table. After the dinner, many families will watch TV together and enjoy the Party of Spring Festival on CCTV. At twelve o’clock, they will count seconds, “three, two, one” and say “Happy New Year” to each other. In the countries, some people will set off fireworks to celebrate the New Year.

The next morning, people don’t eat meat. Instead, they have vegetable dish. And then, adults will visit their friends and relatives with their children. It’s a good job for children because they can get more lucky money to buy things they like.

Today is New Years Eve, New Years Day tomorrow is a. I go to bed to turn on the TV, transferred to Hunan Satellite TV.

I deeply by those wonderful TV program attracted. I watched, I saw a good look at the sketch, the contents of "Justice" in this program are: an aunt inside the company cleaning, two swindlers is the manager, "jingle bell" telephone rang, then two swindlers the phone, the phone who is their boss, the boss asked: "woman in that you are there?" "in" "money hand yet?" "No" "Oh, goodbye" "jingle bell. "Here comes a phone," My daughter, okay? I want my daughter and I said Ill give you the money. "" Oh. "that woman is not, let aunt installed woman, in the end, the money credited into account, but the aunt, the original police aunt ah.

The Spring Festival are fabulous!

The long - awaited Spring Festival has come at last. In the evening our family had a reunion dinner together, and the family was happy. After dinner, mother washed. I was playing the "Torch" outside, dreaming that I was a torchbearer on the track.

At the time of the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, the family sat around the TV and listened to Song Zuyings pleasant voice, watching Zhao Benshan and Xiao Shenyangs funny comedy, the magic of Louis Lius performance. The family laughed and laughed, with a happy smile on his face. The most surprising thing was the magic of Louis Lius two coins. This magic made me puzzled. There was no way to solve it. I had to search the Internet for information. Although I knew that the magic was going to play tricks, I wanted to know what Louis Liu was using to make two coins penetrate the glass.

After looking up the information, I knew that Louis Liu was the first to get a magnet ring (Louis Liu wore a ring when it was performed). And then the magic begins. First let a person check, is a common coin, no doubt. At this time. The assistant reached the other side of the glass. Press the coin on the glass, and there is a magnet coin in the assistant sleeve. ) Liu Qian pressed the coins in their hands on the glass and hid the coins in their hands in their sleeves. At this time he has a hand, hand beat desktop instant, there are four, two after the rebound, carefully look at the thickness of the two times different. I didnt expect the magic to hide so many mysteries.

Well, not to say, tomorrow I have to get up early bed to visit the year, goodbye!

The Spring Festival is a Chinese traditional festival. It is the most important and

enjoyable one. A few days before the festival, houses are cleaned and red couplets are

put up on the doors of every household. They are said to frighten away the ghosts. On that day, people are dressed up. Firecrackers ring out in the air, which adds to the atmosphere of the festival. People after a year’s hard work begin to relax and visit one another. Presents and dinners are given to celebrate the happy reunion of friends and relatives. Families get together. They have jiaozi and enjoy the New Year TV show. Customs may

vary from place to place, but the same happy atmosphere is to be found everywhere in

the country.

Now, I hope you have some idea of Chinese Spring Festival.

Best wishes,

Yours,

Li Hua

afar ai am concerned, i am intending to stand on the side of the latter group of people. admittedly, the former point of view seemreasonable, but the latter imore persuasive. taking the above-mentioned factorinto consideration, i can safelconclude that the gala just needa reform in the future but not to be cancelled.
