端午节，是我国的传统节日。在这一天，人们吃粽子，赛龙舟，喝雄黄酒……关于端午节的传说也很多，其中最广为流传的要数屈原投江了:两千多年前战国时期的楚国，爱国人士屈原被奸臣所害，被楚王流放至汨罗江一带。不久后楚国就灭亡了。悲痛欲绝的屈原于农历五月初五抱着一块石头投汨罗江自尽。江边的居民悲痛到了极点，他们驾着小船在江上打捞屈原的尸骨，却始终没有捞到，他们还把米饭包裹在叶子里扔进大江，只求鱼儿吃了粽子就不要再吃屈原的尸体了。这些习俗慢慢演变成了端午节的吃粽子和赛龙舟。

受疫情影响，我们不能亲自去看赛龙舟，只好在网上观看。我们打开电脑，在网上选择了一个赛龙舟的视频，津津有味地观看起来:

只见一条龙船遥遥领先，迅速赶超所有龙船，速度越来越快，与其他龙船的距离也越来越远。过了一会儿，又有了后来者。另一条龙船突然发力，它很快追上最前面那条龙传并赶超了它。而被赶超的那条龙船不甘示弱，更加拼命划，却始终赶不上。最后它只能屈居第二，将第一名拱手让给了那条追上它的龙船。我们看得如痴如醉，似乎身临其境。

看完赛龙舟，我们便开始包粽子，只剩下弟弟一人在看电视。包着包着，我的脑海里闪出一个邪恶的念头:弟弟总喜欢整我，今天我也来整整他!说干就干，我在米饭和馅料上面加了整整一管芥末，然后用粽叶包裹，还在叶子上面加了个小小的记号，简直天衣无缝。我偷笑着离开了。

粽子出炉了，我拿出芥末粽给弟弟吃。他剥开粽叶咬了一大口，狠狠地咀嚼着。几秒钟后，他的脸色变得铁青，眼泪和鼻涕像喷泉似的喷了出来。看着他那狼狈的样子，我忍不住笑出了声音。

今年的端午节是有趣的，快乐的(然而对我那可怜的弟弟来说，可能并不是这样的)，而这个端午节你又过得怎么样呢?快来和我一起分享吧!

Mention everybody knows that theDragonBoat Festival in China, and they all want to eat dumplings, dragon boat racing.

在中国提起端午节人人都知道，而且都要吃粽子，赛龙舟。

可是，你知道端午节是怎么来的吗?让我来告诉你吧。古时候楚国住着一个人，名叫屈原，他在朝中当官，对皇上非常忠诚，他经常为皇上出谋献策。但是，有一些奸臣对屈原恨之入骨，于是在皇上身边说屈原这不好，那不好，皇上听了竟然相信了，把屈原贬到边疆。屈原怀着报国之心。别的国家都请屈原去，但他不去，只是担心自己的祖国。失去了屈原，楚国离灭亡越来越近，最后，连楚王都被别国扣押。

有一天，屈原听说楚国快要灭亡了，非常伤心，心想：连国家都灭亡了，我还活着有什么用?想到这里，他抱起石头跳进了汩罗江。

这一天是五月初五，人们伤心极了，他们把米扔入江里，让鱼吃米，不吃屈原，并且奋力划船去河里找屈原。

这就是端午节的来历，你知道了吧!

The Dragon Boat Festival comes from the story of qu yuan, a patriotic poet qu yuan out a good idea to rich countries qiangming, but not adopted by the king, he was kicked out of the palace. Qu yuan was so angry that he jumped into the miluo river. The local fisherman learned that he rowed a boat to the miluo river to the miluo river.

The traditional custom of the Dragon Boat Festival is eating zongzi. Our family has a really good zongzi -- my mother. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, our whole family can eat delicious dumplings. Momma always said: the rice dumplings with reeds are the most fragrant. Therefore, every year, the mother of the Dragon Boat Festival USES the leaves of the reed to make zongzi. Before making zongzi, she prepared herself: boil the leaves of the reeds in the water and wash them separately. When the reed leaves were cold, she began to make zongzi. Her first three leaf, this three leaves into a cone, then put a date first, and then put on inside glutinous rice, middle to clip a few dates, the last thread tied leaves, a rice dumplings wrapped. Her dumplings are fat and big, like the old Buddha sleeping. After the dumplings have finished, mom put them in a pressure cooker for 40 minutes, then another three or four hours to make it taste and then eat it! My mothers dumplings are very fragrant, so that when I see the zongzi, I will eat them. So, when eating zongzi, I always eat a lot!

The Dragon Boat Festival besides the need to eat zongzi, also the dragon boat!

盼星星，盼月亮，我终于盼来了端午节。又是粽子飘香时。

中午放学回家，我看见妈妈正忙着包粽子，连忙跑过去，站在妈妈身边。我看见妈妈拿起两片粽叶，熟练地卷成喇叭形，用勺子舀了两勺糯米装进“喇叭”里，再放上一颗红枣，扣上一块五花肉，压紧，左一包，右一裹，用细绳扎紧，一个锥形粽子就包好了。

我的手痒痒的，学着妈妈的样子，也拿起两片粽叶，但小小的粽叶很“调皮”，就是不听我的话，“捉弄”我好半天，才卷成一个喇叭形。我心中暗暗欢喜。我舀了两勺糯米放进棕叶里，准备拿其它馅料。哪知顾此失彼，放进的糯米居然都不见了，原来“喇叭底”是漏的，还好我有预感，在盆子上包，减少了损失。妈妈看到了我的熊样，哈哈大笑起来。她意味深长地说：“孩子，粽子好吃，包起来不容易。要记住世上无难事，只怕有心人。”我听了，羞愧地点了点头。

“吃一堑，长一智。”我再次认真地看了妈妈的示范，然后挑了一大一小两张粽叶叠在一起，用手捏住叶子的两端，小心翼翼地卷成一个漏斗形，放入米和枣，再放上一块五花肉，在肉上再放一些米，用食指和中指把米摁紧，接着用右手去折粽叶，把粽叶盖在口子上，最后，挑一根麻绳，一头用嘴巴咬住，另一头用右手把粽子扎紧，打上结，好像捆犯人一样，把粽子绑得紧紧的，看上去像个“丑八怪”，摆在妈妈包的粽子中间，“鹤”立鸡群，显得那么扎眼。但是我心里还是乐滋滋的，因为我毕竟费了九牛二虎之力，才包了一个奇形怪状的粽子。

妈妈把包好的粽子拿去蒸煮。不一会儿，厨房里飘来一阵阵糯米和粽叶散发出的清香。我早已垂涎三尺。

几十分钟后，粽子总算开锅了。妈妈将粽子端了上来，我连忙挑了那个自己亲手包的“丑八怪”，迫不及待地剥开一个看，淡黄色的肉呈现在我的眼前，一口咬下去，一股浓香萦绕于心。我吃着自己第一次包的粽子，心里好开心呀。

端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)，又称重五节，于每年农历五月初五庆祝。

这是广泛流传2000多年的民间节日，也是中国最重要的节日之一。端午节当天举行各种庆祝活动，吃粽子和赛龙舟(dragon boat

racing)是其中的重要习俗。关于端午节的起源，有很多传说。一部分人认为端午节是为了纪念诗人屈原，另一部分人则认为是为了纪念战国时期的著名将领伍子胥。然而，屈原的传说流传最广。人们非常欣赏这位爱国诗人的高尚情操和出众才华，更对他投江自尽的结局深表同情。

I am in primary school now, and I like my campus so much. The first time I

walk in the school, I am attracted by its beautiful scenery. There are so many

green trees and colorful flowers around. The environment here is so lively. So

many students do the sports in the playground. The comfortable environment makes

me study in good mood.

我喜欢团团圆圆的中秋节，也喜欢热热闹闹的春节，但我更喜欢家乡的端午节。

端午节前几天，妈妈带我去超市买包粽子的材料，如绿豆、五花肉、粽叶、糯米。买完东西后我们又去了小姑姑家，邀请小姑姑们来我家过端午节。

回到家，妈妈和我们就开始忙碌起来。妈妈先洗锅烧水，把粽叶放到锅里煮软，接着把糯米和绿豆分别放到盆子里用温水浸泡半天，把买回来的五花肉切成长条，放盆子里加上调料腌制备用。然后把煮软的粽叶用冷水清洗干净，放漏网里晾干。这个时候绿豆和糯米也泡好了，妈妈把糯米清洗干净捞出来，晾干水分，让我们我们把绿豆皮搓掉，因为有皮不好吃。在搓绿豆皮的时候，如果搓久了手就会又红又痒，我才搓了不久就开始抱怨道：“哼!这么难搓，我不搓了。”小姑姑们就安慰我说：“这么小的困难你就放弃了，加油，我们一起搓。”经过我们一起坚持不懈的努力，终于把绿豆皮搓干净了。在床上好这些，妈妈就开始交教我们包粽子。妈妈告诉我们左手拿粽叶，右手拿勺子把糯米挖到粽叶上，再在糯米上盖上一层绿豆，把五花肉放在绿豆的中间，接着再盖上一层糯米，用绳子把粽叶困起来。放到锅里煮几个小时就闻到了粽子的香味，馋的我们垂涎三尺。

我们问妈妈：“粽子可以吃了吗?”妈妈说：“小馋货们，可以了。”听了这话，我们高兴得跳了起来，我挑了一个最大的粽子，把绳子解开，再把粽叶剥开。我看着那黄黄的糯米上有许多绿豆，好像一件黄色带绿点的小花裙。我咬了一大口，这糯米一点儿也不口，又香又甜，里面还有我爱吃的肉。

我喜欢端午节，每次都能吃到妈妈和我们一起包的粽子，真是太幸福啦!

I have got a problem and I need to ask for your help. I feel I am a little too fat. What’s worse,I am putting on weight all the time. I am very worried about my figure and how I look. I even fear that some of my classmates call me names.

At one time, I tried to work out in a gym two or three times, but I finally gave up just because I had no time for it and always felt very tired after doing exercise. Once I tried going on a diet. However, after about a week, I could not go on because I felt so hungry that I was not able to continue my studies. Then I bought and took weight-loss pills in secret. Shortly after, they did work and I was losing weight fast. But soon I felt tired and weak sometimes.

I know those pills usually have bad effects on our health. Thus, I don’t know what I should do. Could you be kind enough to give some good advice.

今天是农历五月初五端午节，我们去奶奶家吃粽子。

路上，我问妈妈：“妈妈，端午节是怎么来的，为什么要赛龙舟和吃粽子?”妈妈说：“端午节五月初五，可能是因为这段时间蚊子等害虫比较多，所以古代先贤教育老百姓用艾草、菖蒲驱赶害虫免得生病。赛龙舟是春秋时期百越地区以龙舟竞渡方式祭水中蛟龙，吃粽子是纪念我国战国时期楚国爱国主义诗人屈原。”

一进奶奶家，奶奶已经在忙了。奶奶一看见我，就高兴地让我和她一起包粽子。只见奶奶把粽叶折成斗状，盛满糯米，再把粽叶层层包上，用线紧紧绑牢，一个粽子就包好了。我也学着奶奶的样子，不亦乐乎地包起来，但每次不是馅弄太多，裹都裹不了，就是绑得太松，稍微一动，米粒就会争先恐后地从各个角落钻出来。每当这个时候，奶奶总是鼓励我：“没关系，不要灰心，只要你去努力，总会成功的。”

虽说包粽子不行，可吃起来我最在行。锅里粽子的香气渐渐弥漫了整个房间，奶奶一掀开锅盖，我便迫不及待地扒了一个，“哎呦，好烫!”我忍不住把粽子扔回了锅里，并吹了吹手指头。奶奶一边笑一边用碗重新给我盛了一个粽子，我接过碗，对着粽子吹了几下，然后解开绳子，扒开粽叶，对着粽子就是一口，哇，糯米里既有肉的味道，又有蜜枣的味道，还有它自己本身糯糯的味道;蜜枣里既有糯米的味道，又有肉的味道，还有它本身甜丝丝的味道;肉里既有糯米的味道，又有蜜枣的味道，还有它本身嫩嫩的味道，真好吃。

没过几分钟，我便吃完了，但我却舍不得把粽叶扔了，因为粽子实在太好吃了，我一定要把粽叶上的每一粒糯米都吃了再扔。

端午节真好，我真爱端午节。

一提起端午节，人们就会想起吃粽子，划龙舟。可是，同学们你们知到“端午”是什么意思，端午节的风俗又是怎么来的吗?

The mention of the Dragon Boat Festival, people will think of eating dumplings, dragon boat racing. However, do you know what is the meaning of "Dragon Boat Festival", the Dragon Boat Festival customs is how come?

“端午”。“端”是“初”“始”的意思，所以阴历五月初五称为“端午”。到了唐代，因为唐朝皇帝唐玄宇的生日是八月五日，为了避用“五”字，就用回音“午”替换了“五”字，从此，“端五”便改称“端午”了。

"Dragon Boat Festival". "The end" is the "beginning" "beginning", so the lunar calendar in May called "dragon boat festival". To the Tang Dynasty, because of the Tang Dynasty emperor Tang Xuanyu was born on August 5th, in order to avoid the use of "Five", with the echo "afternoon" replace "Five", then, "end of the five" was called the "Dragon Boat Festival".

为什么五月初五这一天会成为“端午”呢?民间流传着很多种说法。其中最流行的说法，就是为了纪念屈原。

Why the fifth May this day will become the "Dragon Boat Festival"? The folklore of the several different versions. One of the most popular argument is to commemorate Qu Yuan.

屈原是战国时楚国的大官，楚国不采纳他的治国主张，反而将他免职流放，他在流放途中看到楚国衰亡，人民遭受苦难，自己又无力挽救老百姓，他心中悲愤难忍，便于公元前278年的五月初五，投入汩罗江自尽。楚国百姓知道后，竟相划船前去相救，但已来不及了，百姓们担心江中的鱼，鳖，咬食屈原的遗体，便用竹壳裹米投入江中喂鱼。从此，划龙舟，包粽子就是我们中国的风俗了。

Qu Yuan is a high official from the state of Chu during the Warring States period, Chu did not take his governing principles, but he will be removed from the exile, he saw the decline in exile, the peoples suffering, and to save the people, he had to endure grief and indignation, to 278 BC in the fifth day of May, into the Miluo River. The people of Chu know, has the boat to rescue, but it was too late, the people to worry about the river fish, turtle, eating Qu Yuans body, then wrapped with bamboo rice into the river to feed the fish shell. Since then, the dragon boat, zongzi is our Chinese customs.

我很喜欢端午节，我每年都盼望端午节的到来。

I like the Dragon Boat Festival every year, I look forward to the arrival of the Dragon Boat festival.

Dragon Boat Festival is one the very classic traditional festivals, which

has been celebrated since the old China. Firstly, it is to in honor of the great

poet Qu Yuan, who jumped into the water and ended his life for loving the

country. Nowadays, different places have different ways to celebrate.

In my hometown, there will be a traditional competition, that is the dragon

boat race. People make up the team and fight for the honor. Every boat looks

like the dragon and it is the most obvious feature. A lot of people will come to

visit or watch the match. Then the game begins. The audience will cheer for the

teams and the competitors try their best to make the boat go fast. It is very

lively.

Besides the competition, eating the traditional food zongzi is favored by

everyone. For me, it is very delicious. My grandma makes the best zongzi. She

has the special recipe and it fits my stomach. So every time I go back hometown,

my grandma will make it for me.

In other places, drinking the special wine and hanging the leaf are also

the tradition. The preserve of the traditional festival makes our culture

profound.

A Chinese holiday is gaining worldwide popularity

Some holidays are so much fun that they catch on outside of their culture. The most obvious example is probably Christmas, which is celebrated around the world by people who arent even Christian. Similarly, in recent years, the Dragon Boat Festival has moved beyond China to become an international holiday celebrated by people who may know little about the holidays origins.

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of three major Chinese holidays, along with the Spring and Moon Festivals. Of the three, it is possibly the oldest, dating back to the Warring States Period in 227 B.C. The festival commemorates Qu Yuan, a minister in the service of the Chu Emperor. Despairing over corruption at court, Qu threw himself into a river. Townspeople jumped into their boats and tried in vain to save him. Then, hoping to distract hungry fish from his body, the people scattered rice on the water.

Over the years, the story of Qus demise transformed into the traditions of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi – a kind of rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. The races have certainly captured the imagination of people from all over the world. Every spring there are nearly 60 dragon boat races held outside of China in cities from Vancouver to Sydney, from Gdańsk, Poland to Cape Town, South Africa. Canada alone has nearly 50 dragon boat teams and Germany has nearly 30.

So what is it about the Dragon Boat Festival that appeals to foreigners? “Its an unusual sport,” says one racer from Germany. “Its not like everybodys doing it. Thats one of the reasons that theres such great team spirit in a dragon boat team – everybody feels like were doing something special.” And what about the zongzi? “Ehhh, theyre not bad, I guess,” he says. “Something of an acquired taste. I just havent really acquired it yet.”

Many animals are in danger of dying out. As is shown in the chart, we can

see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will

continue. From 1980 to 2010, at least 1 million animal species have disappeared.

Worse still, more and more wild animals are in great danger. It is not a piece

of sensational news; it is a fact, a harsh reality. Unfortunately, we may not

see these animals in the near future.

From the second picture, we can find some reasons. Why is the number of

animal species declining year by year? Apparently animals have become victims of

fashion industry. Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and

these clothes sell at a high price. So some greedy people begin to kill animals

in a large quantity. This irresponsible behavior not only breaks the balance of

nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings.

As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal

action. We believe "no buying, no killing". First, we must make concerning laws

to protect these animals in danger. Second, we must take some measures to

protect animals effectively. Animals are our friends and part of our

environment. Third, we should raise peoples awareness to protect animals and

our environment. In this way, we can build a harmonious society and ensure a

sustainable development.
