写清明节英语初中作文（汇编20篇）

The tomb sweeping day is one of the traditional festivals in China. On April 5th, people start to visit their ancestors’ tombs. Generally speaking, people will bring the home-made food, some fake money and paper-made mansion to their ancestors. When they start to honour their ancestor, they will light up some candles and incense, put some flowers around the tombs.

The most important thing is to put the home-made food in front of the tombs. The food, also known as sacrifices, is usually made up with a chicken, a fish and some pork. It’s a symbol of the offspring’s respect to the ancestors. People believe that the forbears will share the food with them. The children dedicate the food and money to their forbears in order to show their love and caring. The young offspring will go down on their knees and pray for their ancestors. They can say their wishes in front of the tombs and the ancestors will make their dreams come true.

In some provinces of China, people use different activities to commemorate this day, for instance, spring-outing, swinging, tree planting and making special food. One special food is Ay Tsao rice balls. It looks like Tang-yuan, but its colour is green. Mix the ay tsao juice with the rice powder, then make it into small balls. The Ay Tsao rice ball is done. People believe that eating ay tsao rice balls can get rid of the bad luck and everything will go smoothly. Other activities such as spring outing, tree planting are the other ways to commemorate the forbears. For one thing, it is a sign that people should look into the future and embrace the hope; for another thing, we do hope our ancestor rest in peace.

He always rose early to enjoy at least two hours of solitude in the house

and garden before the rest of the family came down In winter he spent most of

the time reading and writing. In sum mer he liked to get out of doors to work in

the kitchen garden or to take the dog for a walk in the neighbouring woods and

fields Whatever the weather, there was plenty to occupy him.

Although he was a creature of habit, there seemed to be an infinite variety

in his pursuits. He wrote book reviews regularly for two of the national

weeklies. He worked conscientiously his special subject, Indian History, and was

thus one of the world authorities on it;

he collected modern abstract paintings and so had a circle of friends

amongst artists and sculptors; there was hardly anything he did not know about

traditional jazz and he often entertained both British and America n jazz

musicians He was a superb cook and knew a lot about French and German food.

His family adored him and in a sense he was spoiled by them. At first

glance you would have taken him for a retired army officer-his bearing was

erect, his hair was cut short, he was fussy about his clothes, which were always

neat, clean and conventional. He liked to keep fit, and this was reflected in

his clear, steady blue eyes and healthy suntanned complexion. He hardly ever

watched TV, but enjoyed a good film and an occasional evening at the

theatre.

Chinese New Year starts with the new moon on the first day of the new year

and ends on the the full days later. In china,people regard Spring Festival as

the most important thing.People studied and worked throughout the year.No matter

how far and how busy, they must do their best to go back home.Thats a tradition

and now becoming a habit. During this time,transport is extremely busy.Although

the way is difficult,it cant reduce the urgent feeling of going home.I cant

describe this feeling,only the people that experienced it can

understand.Actually,on one hand,people miss their family,and they need to get

comfort in the family.On the other hand,getting together is a symbol of

blessedness and auspiciousness.People in other country dont have this

consciousness that going home is necessary.For example,American could celebrate

the Christmas in everywhere they like or with anybody.This diversity is

occasioned by different culture between two countries.

On Spring festivals eve,the whole family prepare the dinner.Of

course,dumplings is essential.In the

evening,family members always sit at the television and watch Spring

Festival Gala.At 0:00,people set off firecrackers and fireworks,at the same

time,children pay New Year,s call to old people.The old people give money to the

children as a lunar new year gift.Usually,people stay up late or all night.

On lunar New Years Day, the Chinese family eat vegetarian dumplings which

imply they will plain and neat in this year. People change their new

clothes,this stands for a new beginning.Next,people visit relatives with some

gifts.The second day is son-in-laws festival,the husband and married women

visit their side of the family.In a word,Chinese attach great importance to

Spring Festival.

With the development of globalization, Christmas Day is celebrated by people around the world. When the day comes, Christmas trees can be seen in many shops and some products have the great discounts.

For American people, Christmas Day is the great moment for the families to get together and enjoy the family hour, while for some people they just treat it as the shopping day.

对大多数西方国家来说，圣诞节是最大的节日，所有的人都会有一个长假，就像中国的春节一样。随着全球化的发展，世界各地的人们都在庆祝圣诞节。当这一天到来的时候可以在许多商店看到圣诞树，有些商品还会打上很大的折扣。

人们喜欢圣诞节的一个主要原因是他们可以从一些产品中获得很大的折扣，为他们节省很多钱。对美国人来说，圣诞节是全家人聚在一起享受家庭时光的美好时刻，而对于一些人来说，圣诞节就是购物日。

Generally speaking, life in high school is busy and fulfilling, due to the

ultimate goal---College Entrance Examination. Many people say that there is no

fun left but bored study and endless exercises. However, as a high school

student, I can’t agree with them. Personally, I live a fruitful but happy life

in high school. It can’t be denied that study is my priority that I must spend

most of my time and energy on it. Sometimes, study may make me frustrated or

even drive me crazy, but I still can adjust my mood to enjoy my life. Besides, I

can also get a sense of achievement when I do well in my study or make progress.

The most important is that my friends bring much happiness to me and my parents’

care inspires me to go on. I think friends in high school are my best friend

forever, because they know me a lot and witness all of my emotions. They are the

persons who grow with me. In addition, teachers in high school care much about

our students both in study and life, and classmates are always friendly to each

other. We build deep friendship together. All of these make up my fruitful life

in high school, which I will cherish forever.

Different people have different career outlooks. Some people want to become

civil servants; some people hope to start their own business; some people dream

of being freelancers, and so on.

However, my ideal job is teaching. Firstly, I’m told that teachers have a

high income. With the high income, I can open a training school to help the

children in poor families with their education. Secondly, teachers always have

summer and winter holidays, thus I will have more free time to relax myself.

More importantly, teachers are angels to students, who can pass on the knowledge

to students as well as help them develop their hobbies and interests. I can’t

imagine how happy I will feel when I see my students become elites.

In order to be a qualified teacher, I should read more books to acquire

more knowledge, and train my patience and improve my communication and

handwriting abilities.

Another new term comes again,so i should have a study plan to promot myself.

firstly ,i descide to finish my homework more carefully than before.And pay more attention to the knowledge which i didn t know it clearly.

secondly,i will do a lot of read to widen the range of my knowledge.and try to combine thoery to practice.

清明节是中国传统的节日，有两千五百年的历史;它主要的传统文化活动有：上坟、踏青、斗鸡子、荡秋千、打毯、牵钩(拔河)等。其中上坟(即扫墓)之俗，是很古老的。清明节，它作为传统文化，是个布满神秘色彩的节日,在这个日子里,路上的行人都在思念去世的人们，表达对他们的尊重与哀思!

过清明节，在海南的许多本地人中称其为“做清明”。中年人对清明节十分看重，即使不是作为法定假日，他们也会抽空回老家“做清明”。这说明清明节已经成为了一种文化，成为了一种后人对已故之亲人表达思念的一种方式。

清明，是中国传统文化的一种认可及尊重。清明是古人传统习俗中十分重要的一个节日，也是最重要的祭奠节日，是祭祖和扫墓的日子。扫墓俗称上坟，祭奠死者的一种活动。汉族和一些少数民族大多都是在清明节扫墓。按照旧的习俗，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。唐代诗人杜牧的诗《清明》：“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。借问酒家何处有?牧童遥指杏花村。”写出了清明节的非凡气氛。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。而且越加受到人们的重视。

中国人受自身文化的影响，使清明成为了国人追思先祖的节日。在清明人们纷纷回乡祭拜祖先，这已是一种文化，一种习惯。

小编导语：英语作文是英语考试中的一个得分点，那么在写作过程中有什么技巧呢，下面是小编收集整理的相关资料，希望对您有所帮助。

1、首尾呼应，画龙点睛在文章的结尾，把含义较深的话放在末尾，以点明主题，深化主题，起到画龙点睛的效果。如“I Cannot Forget Her” (我忘不了她)的结尾：

I think amway is a filial child, is also a kind of children. He is innocent, lively, active, there are a lot of care in his life his good friend, always encourage him, comfort him, so he can grow up smoothly, also can obtain experience.

Give me the deepest memory is second grades student Betty, he in order to protect a giulio was struck by the carriage is not a grader, is too late to dodge, crushed the foot bone by carriages, after the walk on crutches only. Students to help others in our life, there is, but like his sacrifice themselves to protect others students, we would not have met. See this story, I thought about the newspaper report: a ninety - year - old woman fell to the sidewalk. 20 minutes, not a passer-by to raise her up. Until 120 the ambulance arrived, the old lady had died for about 20 minutes. Also is two people to help, but the results are completely different, a received rescue, lay down his life for his people died a long time to be discovered. The pedestrian to give save ROM. Betty is good as a mile.

It is because the amway division side there are so many good partners, he can understand the world is full of love. It makes me feel this book is very meaningful, let me realize what is unable to destroy the friendship between classmates, what is a meticulous care between teachers and students, what is parents endless love! I believe that if you have these qualities, know what is true, the good and the beautiful people, must be the most beautiful and good life in the world!

《爱的教育》这本书让我知道了许多做人的道理，令我收益匪浅。

我觉得安利科是个孝顺的孩子，也是个善良的孩子。他天真、活泼、好动，在他生活中有许多关怀他的好朋友，时常鼓励他，安慰他，所以他才可以顺利成长，也可以从中获取经验。

给我记忆最深的是二年级的学生罗贝蒂，他为了保护一个一年级的小学生朱利奥不被马车撞到，自己却来不及躲开，被马车把脚骨压碎了，经后只能靠拐杖行走了。在我们的生活中，帮助别人的同学是有的，但像他这样了为保护别人而牺牲自己的同学，我们就不一定有幸遇到了。看到这一个故事，令我想到了报纸上的一则报道：一位九十多岁的老太太倒在人行道上。20分钟里，竟没有一个路人上前搀扶。等到120急救车赶到时，老太太已经去世约20分钟了。同样是两个值得帮助的人，但是遇到的结果却完全不同，一个得到了别人舍命相救，一个去世了很久才被人发现。这些行人跟舍身救人的罗贝蒂简直是差之千里。

正是因为安利科身边有这么多善良的伙伴，他才可以明白这个世界处处充满爱。这让我觉得这本书很有意义，让我体会到什么是同学之间无法摧毁的友谊，什么是师生之间无微不至的关怀，什么是父母永无止境的爱!我相信如果有了这些品质，知道了什么是真、善、美的人，一定是世界上生活的最美好的人!

“清明节是中国最重要的传统节日之一。它不仅是人们祭奠祖先、缅怀先人的节日，也是中华民族认祖归宗的纽带，更是一个远足踏青、亲近自然、催护新生的春季仪式。”

"Qingming Festival is one of the most important traditional festival China. It is not only the people pay homage to their ancestors, cherish the memory of their ancestors Festival, is also the Chinese nations link to find ones origin, is a hiking outing, close to nature, protecting the new spring ceremony."

作为清明节重要节日内容的祭祀、踏青等习俗则主要来源于寒食节和上巳节。寒食节与古人对于自然的认识相关。在中国，寒食之后重生新火就是一种辞旧迎新的过渡仪式，透露的是季节交替的信息，象征着新季节、新希望、新生命、新循环的开始。后来则有了“感恩”意味，更强调对“过去”的怀念和感谢。寒食禁火冷食祭墓，清明取新火踏青出游。唐代之前，寒食与清明是两个前后相继但主题不同的节日，前者怀旧悼亡，后者求新护生;一阴一阳，一息一生，二者有着密切的配合关系。禁火是为了出火，祭亡是为了佑生，这就是寒食与清明的内在文化关联。唐玄宗时，朝廷曾以政令的形式将民间扫墓的风俗固定在清明节前的寒食节，由于寒食与清明在时间上紧密相连，寒食节俗很早就与清明发生关联，扫墓也由寒食顺延到了清明。
