The winter is beautiful and cold.

星期天，我去了乡下看望爷爷奶奶，无事可干的我竟然心血来潮教爷爷说起英文了。

下午，我闲着的没事就问爷爷：“爷爷，你小时候上过学吗？”

“没有，我小时候家里穷，没钱上学，只好种地。”

没上过学！这一下让我想到了一个妙不可言的好主意——教爷爷说英文。反正闲着也是闲着，干脆让爷爷也增长点外国知识。

我便对爷爷说了这件事，爷爷笑着说：“好啊、好啊，孙女教我学英文。”于是，我从最基本的教起，我大声念了一句：“Hellow”。爷爷笑哈哈地跟着说：“哗啰”。我纠正道：“是Hellow，不是哗啰。再跟我念一遍，Hellow”。爷爷还是笑嘻嘻说成了“哗啰”。我有点生气了，转过身去不理睬爷爷。爷爷似乎知道我不高兴了，不知从哪来变出来一个红彤彤的大苹果，伸到我的面前对我说：“哗啰，吃‘冰果’喽！”。估计爷爷想说苹果的英文，可是又不会说，所以自己瞎编了一个，读成了“冰果”。这下我忍不住“扑哧”一声笑了出来，我从爷爷手里拿了苹果，我看了看苹果，大口大口地吃了起来。

“甜不甜？”爷爷小声地问。( www.sanWEn.com)

“甜！不过爷爷，苹果的英文叫Apple”我说。

“安破。”爷爷乐呵呵跟着学了一句。我也不知道为什么，这次我没生爷爷的气。倒觉得爷爷真有意思。

这次教英文虽然效果不佳，但能换回来我和爷爷的欢笑，我觉得挺值得！

晚上，我和妈妈一起去府文庙看花灯。

走进府文庙，里面真是人山人海，挤得我和妈妈都站不稳了。于是，我们左钻右钻，终于看到花灯了。啊，这简直是灯的海洋，光的世界。

这里的花灯真好看！你看那个“雪人灯”，两个雪人头戴可爱的帽子，围着漂亮的围巾，尖尖的鼻子，灿烂的笑脸，非常可爱。其中一个雪人提着一串鞭炮，另一个拿着灯笼，很高兴的样子，还有那个“牧童骑牛灯”一个牧童坐在牛背上吹笛子，斗笠放在旁边。看到这个花灯，不由得让我想起课本上学过的一首诗：牧童骑黄牛，歌声振林樾。意欲捕鸣蝉，忽然闭口立。“多么奇妙啊！”我忍不住大叫起来。

我们边走边看，发现与“牛”的有关的花灯特别多。妈妈告诉我说：“这是因为今年是牛年。”还有熊猫团团与圆圆、龙灯、双翅凤凰灯……一个个造型奇特、栩栩如生。这是我有生以来第一次看到这么奇妙的花灯。心情十分激动，一路兴奋地尖叫着。

啊！今年的花灯特别美，明年我还来看花灯。

The Spring Festival, the most important festival of our Chinese nation, heralds the coming of a New Year, and all the families are beaming with joy. On New Years eve, the sound of firecrackers rang through the sky, and people sang and danced, a scene of hot and hot air.

Although the Spring Festival is busy, do you know how Spring Festival comes? Once upon a time, there was a monster named nian, who often bullied people in the mountains in winter. Some wanted to get rid of it, and some wanted to get rid of it. One day, nian came again, and many people were attacked at home. Only a few doors hung with red curtains, and no one was hurt by the fire or knocking at the door, so people in the mountain knew about the three things. When the year came, people used these three things to drive away the monster, and they never dared to hurt people. From generation to generation, the custom of Chinese New Year is formed.

I like the Spring Festival, because some of the delicious popcorn and good drinks, and other kinds of toys.

In recent years, with the strong, our nations leaders also began at the time of the Spring Festival, speeches or articles to the festive greetings to the Chinese in their home country, the Chinese New Year is becoming more and more influential in the world.

Last autumn we took a trip to Qianshan by bus.It is about thirty miles from the city.We planned to put up in a hotel there in order to watch the sun rise the next morning.

As soon as we got there,we began to climb up the mountains.How great the sight is!We felt as if we had entered amother world full of beauty,peaeefulness and loveliness.There are hundreds of mountains,one after another.there are magnificent cliffs,one above another.We climbed up vigorously and breathed the fresh air greedily.As the sun was going down,we descended to a little hotel at the foot of the hill,where we had a big dinner,and then went to bed early so as to regain the energy ior the expedition next morning.

Before daybreak,we reached the peak of the highest mountain after a hard groping and climbing in the dark.Unaware of the cold wind,we stood motionlessly,with our eyes fixing at the hr end of the east.Suddenly thin ravs of red hue spread across the sky.As the redness deepened,some mysterious clouds moved across thc sky,dividing heaven from the earth.Just at this moment,up from the brightening far east rose the sun.It was so red and yet so tender that we could gaze at it with naked eyes.and a slight applause from us.the amazed spectators,rang through the peak.Up,up it rose,adding to itself strength and glory at every step.It dazzled with vigour,driving away darkness,cold,and misery from the earth,and bring light,warmth,and happiness to men.

We were completely amazed at the wonder and the greatness of nature.We jumped and shouted like innocent children and we bathed in the first rays of the sun with the peak till it was time for our return.

元宵节，是农历正月十五我国传统节日之一。

在我们老家还有闹花灯、放烟花的习俗。在正月十五到来之前满街挂满了灯笼，街头巷尾，红灯高挂，吸引了不少群众。元宵节还有猜灯谜，也是中国独有的民族风格。其中，猜灯谜是我最喜欢的游戏之一，把谜底写在纸条上，贴在五光十色的蔡灯上，大人、小孩都会兴高采烈地去猜，猜中了就会有小礼物。

还有最精彩的节目表演舞狮子，一般三、五人装扮成狮子，一人充当狮头，一人充当狮尾，三人充当狮身和后脚，舞狮子还会有跳跃、蹬高、打滚等动作。

最让我记忆犹新的就是吃汤圆，一家人其乐融融的吃上一碗热气腾腾的汤圆，有豆沙、芝麻、笋肉馅的……。

啊！这真是个快乐祥和的元宵节。

正月十五，一轮明月徐徐升起，我们一家三口前去运河广场看花灯。

一进入通往运河广场的古街，就看到了源源不断往里涌入的人群。很多大人拉着小孩的手，小孩的另一只手握着小花灯，左顾右盼的往前走。再看那拱宸桥，桥上早已人山人海。我们好好不容易挤到了桥的中央，站在桥高点的台阶上往下张望，也只能看见茫茫“头海”。去看花灯的人肩并肩、脚碰脚，缓慢前行。人们左一下右一下地挤来挤去，走散了在找人的就像走迷宫似的，找也找不见。再看那花灯，小小的一点，还在这人海的尽头呢。我调皮地想，这么多人，要是我们都举起手，准能遮住半边天；要是每人都撒一把汗，都可以下一场雨了。元宵节好热闹，不如叫“人宵节”算了，嘻嘻。

啊！走出“迷宫”了，终于可以欣赏花灯了。只见一排排花灯整齐地排列在一个四水环绕的“小岛”上，每个花灯的边缘都闪烁着五颜六色的光点，勾勒出美丽的轮廓。各色各样的花灯拼出了“梅兰竹菊”四君子、公鸡、花鼓、古代房屋等美丽的图形，还有些花灯向人们介绍“丰子恺避难夜宿拱宸”、“鲁迅和周作人往来拱宸”等典故。然而最具有特色的要数这个花灯了：它在金黄色的背景下摆成了“2017”的字样，红色的数字上点缀着橙色的豹纹光点，数字上面掠过一道彩虹，彩虹上有红、黄、蓝、绿四个颜色的小人儿骑着自行车，他们在呼吁我们绿色出行、低碳生活呢！数字的下方是一朵朵浪花，左右两侧又制作了几株植物，花灯就仿佛一条彩船漂浮在运河上似的。花灯的最外侧是两扇巨大的粉红色的翅膀，好像一下就可以飞上蓝天，似乎是在祝福我们放飞梦想、心想事成吧！

人群渐渐稀疏，我们走出了喧闹的运河广场，最后一次回头，带着我对它的留恋，跟它说再见。明年再见，热闹的花灯展。

新年的钟声已经敲响，“叮咚叮咚”，快乐迈着无声的步伐悄悄

降临在人间这个仙镜，在这缤纷的世界里，我们迎来了元宵，对了，在元宵里，“花灯可是主角哦！

站在远处，连串的花灯好似两条五颜六色的长龙，直朝街道的尽头游去，它又像彩链，缠绕在两旁的“圣诞”树上，发出夺目的光彩，好象照亮了全世界，它还像银河，望不到尾，而我们只是岸边的绿叶，静静地欣赏着映在河面上闪烁的星星……

小摊边上，马路两旁，街道上……早已是人山人海，我好不容易才挤进了人群，欣赏那美丽的画卷，一只小黄牛闯入了我的视线，定睛一看，这只小牛花灯可爱极了，蓝色的羊毛般的头发，两颗乌黑的眼球好象在滴溜溜的转着，还有那张可爱的嘴，大大的张着，好象什么事让它开心地合不拢嘴。更有趣的是那一对牛角，金黄色的，像金色的牵牛花，不停地打着转，让人心旷神怡。

除了小牛花灯以外，别的花灯也不差，一个个都在争奇斗艳。瞧！那只小老鼠花灯，胸前挂着金色的带子，咧着嘴，在欢呼我们的到来。长长的耳朵，红红的眼睛，白白的绒毛，这一下子让我们联想到了小白兔，它们前面露着两颗大暴牙，耳朵竖的笔直笔直，好象正在思考什么。脸谱灯更是不落后，托着长长的丝带，随风飘动，好象展现在我的眼前，一半脸黑，一半脸白，使我一下子没有回过神来。更惹人喜欢的还是星星灯，它全身金黄，十分耀眼，时不时的闪烁着奇异的光芒，它不禁让我想起了五星红旗，它总是保持着自己的本色。在夜空也是如此，它总是站在月亮旁，虽然没有月亮那样亮，给故乡照得分外亮，它是纯洁的，招唤朋友，一起照亮人间。星星给月亮陪衬出更加绚烂的色彩。

好一个镇海的灯会，它不仅是一个灯的海洋，而且是个人海，无数的灯和无数的人聚在一起，构成了景色奇异的灯和人潮。这也不正标志着，我们镇海的经济在发展，吸引了许多游客。我们在灯的海洋里尽情地欣赏。

我完全沉浸在灯的海洋。渐渐的，天下起了毛毛细雨，风轻轻地吹着，我的心也随风儿飘向美丽的城堡……元宵节花灯作文800字元宵节800字作文

参考翻译

叮叮当，叮叮当，铃声多响亮，圣诞节快到了!我想家乐福等大卖场一定挤满购买装饰品及圣诞礼物的人潮，热热闹闹的更有温暖的气氛。

许多地方摆满了红红绿绿的圣诞红，有的地方也一一竖起又高又大的树木，挂上缤纷亮丽的灯饰及大大小小的卡片及小饰品就成了非常漂亮的圣诞树。街上还不时看到胡须洁白如雪，戴着红红尖帽的圣诞老公公，挥舞双手向人们热情打招呼。如果世界上真的有圣诞老公公的话，我想向他祈求一把小提琴和一双跳跳鞋作为我的圣诞礼物。

我希望圣诞老公公能送我一把小提琴，因为在学校常看到许多同学拉着小提琴，演奏一首又一首美妙的乐曲，常让我听到入迷。小时候我喜欢拿着玩具提琴，摸着那有弹性的琴弦及弓，感觉很有趣。读幼儿园大班时我有学过小提琴，还曾上台表演。但上小学后就没继续学琴了，现在我也完全忘记怎么拉琴，真可惜!如果圣诞老公公真的送我一把小提琴，我要好好表现，再请求妈妈可以让我上提琴课，学会真正演奏的技巧，将美妙的音乐分享给大家。

如果可以，我还希望能有一双“跳跳鞋”当圣诞礼物。因为我每天走路上学都要走好远。如果我有“跳跳鞋”，我要上学时只要穿上它，跳个二下不到五分钟就可以到学校了，又快又方便。可是我也担心如果穿上它出去玩，遇到山洞或隧道，会不会跳的太高撞的满头包。如果没有这个礼物也没关系，我也喜欢每天走路上学，路上可以看见许多洁白的鹭鸶在社区觅食，还可以看到很多草地上的小黄花。走路上学既可以看让身体健康又可以看到漂亮的风景，也是件令人开心的事!

如果圣诞老公公真的达成我的愿望，我会好好珍惜得到的礼物。我也要感谢在寒风中辛苦奔波的圣诞老公公，因为他很辛苦跑来跑去的送给许多人礼物，让大家都能心想事成。希望温馨欢乐的圣诞节能快快到来，也祝福大家都能平平安安、快快乐乐。

The Culture of China is home to one of the worlds oldest and most complex civilizations. China boasts a history rich in over 5,000 years of artistic, philosophical, political, and scientific advancement. Though regional differences provide a sense of diversity, commonalities in language and religion connect a culture distinguished by such significant contributions such as Confucianism and Taoism. Confucianism was the official philosophy throughout most of Imperial Chinas history and strongly influenced other countries in East Asia. Mastery of Confucian texts provided the primary criterion for entry into the imperial bureaucracy.

With the rise of Western economic and military power beginning in the mid-19th century, Western systems of social and political organization gained adherents in China. Some of these would-be reformers rejected Chinas cultural legacy, while others sought to combine the strengths of Chinese and Western cultures.

China is a unified nation consisting of many different ethnic groups. Fifty-six different ethnic groups make up the great Chinese national family. Because the Han people accounts for more than ninety percent of Chinas population, the remaining fifty-five groups are generally referred to as "ethnic minorities." Next to the majority Han, the Mongolian, Hui, Tibetan, and Uygur peoples comprise the largest ethnic groups. Although Chinas ethnic minorities do not account for a large portion of the population, they are distributed over a vast area, residing in every corner of China.

Particularly since the implementation of Chinas opening and reform policy, the central government has increased investment in minority areas and accelerated their opening to the outside world. This has resulted in an upsurge of economic development in these areas. Each of Chinas ethnic minority groups possesses a distinctive culture. The Chinese government respects minority customs, and works to preserve, study, and collate the cultural artifacts of Chinas ethnic minority groups. The government vigorously supports the development of minority culture and the training of minority cultural workers, and fosters the development of traditional minority medicine.

The relation among Chinas ethnic groups can be described as "overall integration, local concentration, mutual interaction." Concentrations of ethnic minorities reside within predominantly Han areas, and the Han people also reside in minority areas, indicating that there has been extensive exchanges among Chinas ethnic groups since ancient times. With the development of the market economy, interaction among ethnic groups has become even more active in the areas of government, economics, culture, daily life, and marriage. Linked by interdependence, mutual assistance, and joint development, their common goals and interests creating a deep sense of solidarity, Chinas ethnic groups resemble a great national family, together building Chinese civilization.
