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.

新的一年，新的开始，当我站在新年的边缘时，我禁不住想起我明年的计划。

正如俗话所说：“好的开始是成功的一半”，所以我决定我应该在工作，而其他人仍然放松，然后，在开始的时候，我比其他人更快，当然我会得到比其他人更好的结果。

但是，我真正决定要做的是，无论何时何地我都要好好利用，尽管这似乎是不可能的。同时，我会尽我最大的努力实现我的计划，结果将证明这一点。

More than 10 days before the Spring Festival, grandma just get busy preparing something for the Chinese New Year, and kill the chicken, and duck slaughter, and cooked the meat, and cooking, busy trying. Grandma said: "now is no New Years day, better than New Years day !" Dad said: "now is Chinese New Year still busy!" But as for me, although is welcome, not participate in discussions, but has been realized in the harmonious society people overjoyed when!

By year, every household lights, very busy. We eat a good meal in a hurry, picked up a firecracker quickly ran to the designated place, for fear of being robbed the first. We can be more firecrackers, there are "flowers" "double bang firecracker" "cuckoo cybele" BaiZiBao "..." Lets put the "flowers", firecrackers like a fire ball shot on the blue sky. All of a sudden, its not rise, but suddenly burst, formed a colorful flower, have a plenty of gold to red, have a plenty of yellow and green, or blue and red. Then we put the "double bang firecracker", it is also good, listen to "bang" a loud noise, a Mars for a moment, its a "bang" sound, golden fireball exploded in the sky, but not immediately. "BaiZiBao" two thousand multiple, how much more enjoyable enough. "Cuckoo crow spring" is my favorite, after burning up a clump of flame, the above quote pieces of colorful flowers, each flower so bright, so bright!

Look at the beautiful fireworks in the sky, listening to all round the loud firecrackers, I want to, and came to the New Year, our motherland will present a new atmosphere.

春节前十几天，奶奶就开始为过年的事忙活了，又是杀鸡，又是宰鸭，又是煮肉，又是烧菜，忙的不亦乐乎。奶奶说：“现在真是‘不是过年，胜似过年’啊!”爸爸说：“现在真是比过年还热闹呢!”而我呢，虽然是旁听者，没有参与讨论，但是已经体会到了和谐社会中人们的高兴劲!

到了大年三十，家家户户都灯火通明，热闹非凡。我们匆匆吃好饭，拿起鞭炮便飞快的奔向指定地点，生怕被别人抢了先。我们放的鞭炮可多了，有“百花齐放”“二踢脚”“布谷啼春”“百子炮”……我们先放“百花齐放”，鞭炮像一个带火的小球一样蹿上蓝天。突然，它不在上升，而是猛然间炸开，形成了一朵五颜六色的花：有的是金转红，有的是黄加绿，还有的是蓝加红。然后我们放“二踢脚”，它也不错，只听“砰”一声巨响，一个火星闪了一下，又是“砰”一声响，金黄的火球在天空中炸开了花，可一下子就没了。“百子炮”有两千多发，要多过瘾有多过瘾。“布谷啼春”是我最喜欢的，点着后冒出了一丛火焰，上面开出一朵朵五颜六色的小花，每一朵都那么鲜艳，那么耀眼!

看着天空中那美丽的烟花，听着四周那响亮的鞭炮声，我想，新的一年又来到了，我们的祖国又会呈现出一片新气象。

大年夜上午，我和爸爸在大门上贴起了春联，挂起了灯笼，家家喜气洋洋。下午，爸妈特别忙,忙着包饺子，准备年夜饭，当然我也不闲着，把自己的房间全打扫一遍，把地拖得干干净净，迎接新年的到来。

大年夜终于来了，舅妈家、外公家和我们家围着圆桌旁，吃着丰盛的菜肴，大家有说有笑。8点钟，全家都守在电视机前，一边吃瓜子，一边看春节联欢晚会。晚会上的内容丰富多彩，有歌舞、杂技、魔术、小品……看到他们的表演，不由得想起“台上三分钟，台下十年功”这句谚语。快到12点，外面鞭炮齐鸣、震耳欲聋，我在窗户口放眼远眺，只见无数的烟花在城市的上空绽放，五彩缤纷、美不胜收，一眼望去，整个黑夜金光闪闪。我特别激动，赶紧叫着爸爸同我去放炮竹，辞旧迎新。来到楼下，爸爸把烟火放在平地上。一只特大号的烟火点燃了，只听“咝”的一声飞上天，展开了艳丽的火花，有赤、橙、黄、绿、蓝五种颜色，真是绚丽多彩，此时此刻，整个天空，仿佛是彩色的世界，如同仙境一般。我万分激动、兴奋，也拿起小烟火自己放了起来。这个夜晚使我感受到了热闹的过年气氛。

An unforgettable 200 word composition for the Spring Festival

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.

About the gift money, there is a widely circulated story. In ancient times, a demon called "evil spirit", the thirty night of sleeping with his hand to touch the childs head, children are often scared to cry, then headache fever, become a fool. Therefore, every family to sit on this day liangzhaodeng not sleep, called "keep away evil spirits".The couple have a son in old age, as a baby.

In thirty years the night, they were afraid of the "evil spirit" to harm children, took eight coins to play with the kids. Children play tired to fall asleep, they put eight coins wrapped in red paper on the childs pillow below, the couple not sleep a wink. In the middle of the night the ghostly wind blowing open the door, blew out the lights," evil spirit" has just reached out to touch the childs head, the pillow will burst with flash, scared" evil spirit" and ran away. The very next day, the couple put eight coins wrapped in red paper scare, "evil spirit" and told everyone, after we learn to do, the children the world is at peace.The original eight coins is 0.08 change, the secret to protect the child. Because the "evil spirit" and "old" homophonic, then gradually evolved into" gift money".

关于压岁钱，有一个流传很广的故事。古时候，有一种小妖叫“祟”，大年三十晚上出来用手去摸熟睡着的孩子的头，孩子往往吓得哭起来，接着头疼发热，变成傻子。因此，家家都在这天亮着灯坐着不睡，叫做“守祟”。

有一家夫妻俩老年得子，视为心肝宝贝。到了年三十夜晚，他们怕“祟”来害孩子，就拿出八枚铜钱同孩子玩。孩子玩累了睡着了，他们就把八枚铜钱用红纸包着放在孩子的枕头下边，夫妻俩不敢合眼。半夜里一阵阴风吹开房门，吹灭了灯火，“祟”刚伸手去摸孩子的头，枕头边就迸发道道闪光，吓得“祟”逃跑了。第二天，夫妻俩把用红纸包八枚铜钱吓退“祟”的事告诉了大家，以后大家学着做，孩子就太平无事了。

原来八枚铜钱是八仙变的，暗中来保护孩子的。因为“祟” 与“岁”谐音，之后逐渐演变为“压岁钱”。

In China, the Spring festival is the first day of the lunar year.

People usually start preparing for the festival one month before it comes. They prepare delicious food, and clean and decorate their homes.

On Chinese New Year’s Eve, the family all get together for a big dinner. They stay up till midnight, and then play fireworks and crackers for good luck. On the first day of the lunar New Year, children put on their new clothes and greet their parents. They are very happy to get lucky money from them.

The first day is for the welcoming of the deities of the heavens and earth, officially beginning at midnight. Many people, especially Buddhists, abstain from meat consumption on the first day because it is believed that this will ensure longevity for them. Some consider lighting fires and using knives to be bad luck on New Years Day, so all food to be consumed is cooked the day before. For Buddhists, the first day is also the birthday of Maitreya Bodhisattva (better known as the more familiar Budai Luohan), the Buddha-to-be. People also abstain from killing animals.

Most importantly, the first day of Chinese New Year is a time when families visit the oldest and most senior members of their extended family, usually their parents, grandparents or great-grandparents.

Some families may invite a lion dance troupe as a symbolic ritual to usher in the Lunar New Year as well as to evict bad spirits from the premises. Members of the family who are married also give red packets containing cash to junior members of the family, mostly children and teenagers.

While fireworks and firecrackers are traditionally very popular, some regions have banned them due to concerns over fire hazards, which have resulted in increased number of fires around New Years and challenged municipal fire departments work capacity. For this reason, various city governments (e.g., Hong Kong, and Beijing, for a number of years) issued bans over fireworks and firecrackers in certain premises of the city. As a substitute, large-scale fireworks have been launched by governments in cities like Hong Kong to offer citizens the experience.
