用英语写一篇关于元宵节的作文（汇总20篇）

Watching lanterns on the Lantern Festival is a traditional Chinese custom.

No, I went to see it last night. Our family has a rule: go to grandmas house on

New Years Eve, go to grandmas house on the 15th of the first month, go to

grandmas house on the first day of the new year, and go to grandmas house on

the fifth day of the new year. Therefore, it is certain to come today.

The fireworks show at Grandmas house was beautiful, with smiling faces and

circles. We had dinner there, watched a fireworks show and talked about family

affairs, so we left. When I came, I brought a box of fireworks. When we left, we

went down and put some white ones. Send my sister and them home, and well go to

the ceramic technology city to see the lanterns. The lanterns there are so

beautiful.

When I went there, what impressed me most was that I split the mountain to

save my mother. It was very vivid. Unfortunately, I didnt move. If I moved, it

would be good. Itll be more realistic. Theres another one called ghost. I

forgot, but its also very good. And the story of Cowherd and weaver girl. While

walking, I listened to my mother explain what happened to Cowherd and weaver

girl.

Gradually, I was thirsty. My mother said, "do you want pear soup?" "Yes!"

We bought two drinks, 10 yuan. Thats enough. What annoys me most is that it

tastes the same as mineral water. No, no, no, no, its harder to drink than

mineral water. I guess mineral water, edible pigment and pear slices are really

hard to drink. Walking, I saw the peacock open the screen. Its really big and

very beautiful. There are many light bulbs on a feather, led. Its time for us

to go back. Its beautiful. Its beautiful. I was dazzled.

Mother said, "always buy a souvenir home." Im so happy.

I came to several stalls. There were many kinds. I didnt know what to

choose. I finally decided to choose a mace. Because this is very attractive, I

think many people buy it. So I also bought it. After we made a price for some

time, we decided to sell it for 8 yuan. I agree very much.

When I walked quickly, I saw what I wanted to see most and liked most,

pleasant goat and grey wolf, as well as Chinas aerospace industry. I like both

of them very much. There are Tiangong 1 and Shenzhou 8. There are many kinds. I

also like them very much. The pleasant goat and grey wolf are a little too fake,

but they are also very good. There was a dragon when I went out.

It was great to see the lanterns this time. The only fly in the ointment

was the pear soup. We dont want it until weve finished drinking. I feel that

ten yuan is really wasted money. I cant buy it again next time I come. Is it

really cheating customers. I feel very, very sick. Overall, the lantern is

good.

Lets go to his house sometime.

元宵节看花灯是一种中国传统习俗。这不，昨晚我就去看了，我们这个家庭有一个规定，大年三十去姥姥家，与正月十五去姥姥家，大年初一去奶奶家，大年初五去奶奶家。所以说，今天来是必定的。

在姥姥家看的焰火汇演，可漂亮了，又打出笑脸的，又打出圆圈的。在那里吃晚饭看一会焰火汇演聊聊家常，我们就走了。来的时候搬来了一箱烟花。走的时候，我们下去放，还有几挂白色的全放了。把我姐姐他们送回家，我们就去陶瓷科技城去看花灯了。那里的花灯，真叫个漂亮啊。

去了那里，让我印象最深的是劈山救母，演的非常形象，可惜就是不动，如果动的话就好了。会更逼真，还有一个叫鬼什么来着，忘了，不过也挺好的。还有牛郎织女的故事，一边走，我一边听妈妈解释着牛郎织女是怎么一回事。

渐渐地，我有些渴了，妈妈说：“要不要梨汤?”“要!”我们俩买了两杯，10元钱啊。够坑的。最让我生气的是，竟然与矿泉水一个味，不不不不，比矿泉水还难喝啊。我猜测，矿泉水加上食用色素加了梨片，真够难喝的。走着走着，我看见了孔雀开屏，真够大啊，而且还非常漂亮。一个羽毛上有许多的灯泡，LED的。我们该向回走了，漂亮漂亮真漂亮。看得我眼都花了。

妈妈说：“总的时候买一个纪念品回家。”我高兴的要死。

我来到几个小摊前，有许多种类，我都不知道选什么好了，我最终决定，选狼牙棒。因为这个非常吸引人，我看用心许多人买呢。所以我也买了我们打价一段时间后，决定8元钱出手。我也非常同意。

快走的时候，我看到了我最想看的，也是最喜欢看的，喜羊羊与灰太狼的，还有中国航天事业的。这两项我都非常喜欢，有天宫一号，由神州八号的。多种多样，我也非常喜欢，喜羊羊与灰太狼的有一点太假了，不过也挺好的。出去的时候还有一条龙。

这次去看花灯非常爽，唯一美中不足的是买的梨汤。我们都没喝完就不要了。我感觉那十块钱真是花的冤枉钱，下一次来的时候，再也不能买了。真是欺骗客户吗。喝的我非常难受非常难受得。总体来说花灯不错。

有机会他家去看看吧。

There are many, many traditional Chinese festivals, such as: the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn festival, chung yeung festival and so on. Lantern Festival is my favorite holiday, because in that day, I can see all kinds of lanterns.

Why, then, the Lantern Festival to admire the lanterns? There is a beautiful legend there also!

The fifteenth day of the first words in ancient times a year, a scholar in the palace garden for a walk. Suddenly, he heard from the corridor there came the voice of the cry, he went over to look.

Turned out to be a palace maid in a chair weeping. Scholar asked her: "why are you crying?" Maid-in-waiting said: "I called yuanxiao palace, this several days to come over, I want to go home. Take a look at the parents, however, dont agree in a palace maid of the palace." Hearing this, the writers are very sympathy for her, for she thought a good idea.

Literati riding out of the palace, came to the street. He said to the people: "tonight, vulcan advent world, you are on the door hung a small lantern, who do not hang, who will be a fire." Literati and wrote a letter to the emperor, the letter said, palace tonight will happen in the big fire. Everyone out of the palace to admire the lanterns only the court, to avoid the disaster. Emperor read letter, immediately ordered the palace of the tonight all people will be out of the palace lanterns.

From then on, there is a 15 to admire the lanterns became a convention in China, everyone call this day "Lantern Festival".

中国有很多很多的传统节日，例如：端午节、中秋节、重阳节等等。元宵节是我最喜欢的节日，因为在那天，我能看见各种各样的花灯。

那么，元宵节为什么要赏花灯呢?这里面还流传着一个美丽的传说呢!

话说古时候某一年的正月十五，一个文人在皇宫的花园中散步。突然，他听见从走廊那边传来了哭泣的声音，便走过去看个究竟。

原来是一个宫女在椅子上哭泣。文人问她：“你为什么哭呀?”宫女说：“我叫元宵宫女，这几天过来，我想回家看一看父母。可是，皇宫中不同意宫女出宫。”听了这话，文人非常同情她，就为她想了一个好主意。

文人骑马出宫，来到大街上。他对人们说：“今晚，火神降临人间，你们都要在门上挂一个小灯笼，谁不挂，谁家就会发生火灾。”文人又给皇上写了一封信，信上面说，今天晚上皇宫中会发生大火灾。只有宫中所有人都出宫赏花灯，才能避免这个灾难。皇上看完信，立即下令皇宫的所有人在今晚都要出宫赏花灯。

从此，正有十五赏花灯便成为了中国的一种习俗，大家都把这一天称为“元宵节”。

Happy New Year arent in the past, the Lantern Festival. I am excited and looking forward to its getting dark. In the evening, early supper, my father to accompany me to go to the lantern.

Enter a gate, I was impressed by a red lanterns. Lanterns are the four most beautiful women in ancient: Yang, wang zhaojun, sable chan and xi shi, the moving posture they make every person who watch the tut praise good. Move on, and I will think of a childrens song: "one boy is a boy, two boys half a boy, three boys no water to drink." See the three boys cry sigh, I couldnt help laughing. This story also tells us a truth, do look beyond their own private interests, pushed around the result is nothing. So, whatever we do, we are of others, to put a little generous.

Across the small stone bridge, I see a beautiful peacock in corner, saw it slowly unfold its beautiful feathers, a lot of tourists can not help a deep sigh of "wow" and "wow". To the other side of the river is two dragon boat, with a "leap" in the middle, two fish kept jumping before, and if really jumps the gantry. Go forward again, the scene is spectacular. Only nine shape with different color dragon churning the fly to the sky, a sign of the explosion of China. Our country will be prosperous day after day!

Have seen lanterns, we went home. Walk the road, I think: next years lantern certainly is better than this year!

新年的喜气还没过去，元宵节就到了。我怀着激动的心情，盼望着天快黑下来。晚上，早早地吃过晚饭，爸爸就陪我去看花灯。

一进大门，我就被眼前的一个大红灯笼给吸引住了。灯笼上有古代的四大美女：杨贵妃、王昭君、貂婵和西施，她们那动人的姿态使每位观赏的人啧啧赞好。继续向前，我便想起一首儿歌：“一个和尚挑水喝，两个和尚抬水喝，三个和尚没水喝。”看到那三个和尚哀声叹气的神情，我禁不住哈哈大笑。这个故事也告诉我们一个道理，做什么事光顾着自己的私人利益，推来推去结果只能是一无所获。所以说，我们无论做什么事都要为别人着想，放得大度一点儿。

我跨过小石桥，在转弯处看到一只美丽的孔雀，只见它慢慢地展开它美丽的羽毛，很多游人禁不住发出“哇”、“哇”的感叹声。河的对面是两只龙舟，中间夹着一处“鱼跃龙门”，两只鱼儿不停地跳跃前，好像真的跃过了龙门。再向前方走，那场面简直太壮观了。只见九条形状颜色各异的龙翻腾着向天空飞去，这象征着腾飞的中国。我们的国家将一天天地繁荣昌盛起来!

看过花灯，我们回家了。路上，我一边走一边想：明年的花灯一定比今年更美!

元宵节有很多很有趣的活动，放许愿灯、吃元宵，属于这个节日的活动一结束，就表示过年也告一段落，大家要乖乖的工作和上学，期待明年新年的到来了。

我编了一个关于元宵节的传说，大家听听看，我是不是很会说故事呢?

传说在很久很久以前，宇宙中有一个地方，名叫元宵岛的地方，他们跟我们最大不同的地方，就是非常的爱吃汤圆，不管早、中、晚餐都要吃汤圆，有趣的是，那里的汤圆都是飘在半空中，想吃多少都有，吃到你撑死为止。

有一天，有两个小朋友阿元和阿宵，突然灵机一动，把要给国王的汤圆，拿去油炸，没想到国王吃了后，居然说很好吃。

从今以后，人民都变成吃炸汤圆，并且纪念阿元和阿宵，所以把他们挂掉的那天取名为元宵。

你吃过炸汤圆吗?试试看吧!那是阿元和阿宵发明的美食哦!

The chinese new year is now popularly known as the spring festival because it starts from the begining of spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coodination with the changes of nature). its origin is too old to be traced.

Several explanations are hanging around.

All agree, however, that the word nian, which in modern chinese solely means year, wasoriginally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.

One legend goes that the beast nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. People were very scared.

One day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue nian.

To nian he said, i hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents? so, it didswallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harrassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.

There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.

But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and

cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the

higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light

each year.

One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven

in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny

of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided

when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.

Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the

emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to

bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of

the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he

proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would

last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.

Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the

Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of

the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of

entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which

they pray for good fortune.

Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival

speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted

and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because

the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy

the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this

plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.

The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their

imminent destruction.

However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should

hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and

explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the

village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar

day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw

that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the

Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.

From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every

year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and

fireworks.

There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is

about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the

emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying

and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her

and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was

Yuan-Xiao.

She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the

palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the

chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern

promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern

left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised

himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for

their fortunes.

But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th

lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and

asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of

Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in

red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her

mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people

asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to

check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from

Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.

I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You

should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to

the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in

trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on

the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.

Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that

the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often

cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.

Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give

an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the

same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang

red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people

outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern

decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be

deceived.

Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed

the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th

lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of

noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into

the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern

and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her

parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han

Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since

Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao

Festival.

Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.

Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns

were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer

has such implications.

Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern

parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional

Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is

guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang

Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant

harvest, prosperity and love.

一年一度的元宵节终于到了，每到这一天家家户户门前都挂着红灯笼，而且吃饭之前还要放鞭炮，当然，晚饭也和以前不一样，要吃元宵。

大约五六点了，“怎没还不开饭呀。”在一旁的我说道。这时，爸爸说到楼下放鞭炮去，我便去看一看。爸爸把鞭炮挂到树枝上，拿起了打火机。“噼里啪啦”，鞭炮声响了起来。“开饭了，开饭了。”妈妈喊道。我端起了一碗元宵，品尝了一个，那种香喷喷的气味让我回味无穷。吃完元宵后，我便来到了厉山公园去看烟花，来到现场，还没有开始，我们又等了一会儿，烟花终于开始放了，因为离得太远了，看不清楚，我也挤进了人群之中，忽然，一位小孩子说了一个字，看。我仰起头来，只见天空中有很多一闪一闪的星星，噢，不对，星星哪有那么多颜色，这是烟花，大约五六秒过去了，颗颗流星般的烟花落了下来。哇，真是太逼真了。再看看大街上，真是好不热闹，车水马龙。

十点了，我也该回家了，但看着耀眼的烟花，还是不忍心走，又过去了五六分钟，我才依依不舍得离开了厉山公园。

终于到了，终于到元宵节了。自从过完年，我一直在等待这一天。

元宵节，这个节日自从西汉时期便以受到重视，汉魏之后，便成为民间的习俗，人们沿袭着几百年来的传统，——赏花灯、猜灯谜、舞龙、舞狮、扭大秧歌，热闹极了，随着现在科技的发展又形成一个新的民俗——赏烟花。

今天，全家欢聚在一起，等待着元宵夜得到来，天刚刚暗下来，便可以听到“霹雳哗啦”的爆竹声。

到了夜晚，我和全家人走在大街上，到处是“轰轰隆隆”声音，满天都是烟花，虽不如白昼，但也是灯火通明了。大街上，看着走来走去的人们，听着震耳欲聋的爆竹声;感受着热闹的气分;我的心也不由得欢快起来。一路上，所有的店面都张灯节彩，路旁的花灯闪朔光彩，天上的圆月照耀着大地，真是“有灯无日不美人，有日无灯不算春”。

走出了花街，我的目光又凝聚在天上的烟花上面，犹如即将开放的花雹，突然开放，散下一片片花蕊。到处都是开放的花朵，犹如春梅争芳，含雹怒放。

今天热闹的气愤，也让我感受到了虽然年过去了，但这元宵夜却比大年夜还会。热闹。

This evening, so we decided to go to watch dragon lantern, zhiying. Really liked, the dragon was filled with people all around, make the atmosphere of the scene more lively.

今天是元宵节，全永康被笼罩在快乐中。其中，属迎龙灯最热闹……

于是我们决定，今晚去芝英看龙灯。果然名不虚传，龙的四周围满了人，把现场的气氛弄得更加热闹。哗，那龙大约长三十米，把整条街都填满了。龙身体的各个部分是用长凳连起来的，凳上有着两个红红的灯笼。每节两个，把龙装扮得威猛无比，更加逼真。

开始了，只见那龙身被举了起来，风摇曳着灯笼中的火。龙向前“飞”去，到了一家杂货店，那家店立即放起了烟花，烟花在天空中怒放，月亮在烟花的装点下，更加美丽。制造出一个魔幻气氛。龙头在那家店门口点了三下头，那家店的主人拿了一个大红包放在龙嘴里。哦，原来是想让龙给自家保个平安。正在这时，龙头一摆，呼地整个龙身被拉到了后面。人群一下子慌了，我也忙着跑。大家犹如受惊的马，疯狂的像四周拼命地跑去。啊，聪明的人会觉得很危险，而傻的人会觉得很刺激。我虽然不想当傻的人但是还是很刺激。

啊，迎龙灯真的很好玩啊!他让我们知道团结才有力量，就像迎龙灯一样，如果一个不用心，就会被拉走的。我们一定要用团结的力量战胜困难。

又是一年元夜时。阖家欢乐，秉烛欢庆。这一天我们全家都聚在一起吃元宵、赏花灯、放烟花。

吃元宵这一中国传统的习俗把这元宵节的气氛渲染的淋漓尽致。随着奶奶的一声“汤圆来了。”每个人的脸上都绽放出了笑容。把汤圆端上来，热腾腾的气氤氲在我的脸上，霎时，脸上湿漉漉的，淡淡的面香扑鼻而来，我忍不住咬了一口，香浓的芝麻味充斥我的口腔，让我通体舒畅。汤圆不仅仅是味道好，还寓意着全家人团团圆圆。香甜的口感也寓意着我们未来的生活甜甜美美。

晚饭后，我与家人一起去工人俱乐部看花灯。十二生肖，一马当先，它们有的身上背着铜钱，寓意着马上有钱;有的策马奔腾，寓意着事业顺畅;有的神龙马壮，希望人们身体健康，气宇轩昂。在马之后，有活灵活现的小老鼠，辛勤耕作的牛，威风凛凛的大老虎，娇小可爱的兔子，张牙舞爪等的龙，摇头摆尾的蛇，温顺可爱的羊，活泼顽皮的猴，昂首挺胸的大公鸡，忠诚老实的狗，憨厚可掬的猪，这一个个花灯把黑夜装点得更加美丽。

抬头一看，天空中满是绽放的烟花，各式各样，五彩纷呈，有的五颜六色合在一起，有紫色的、红色的、金色的、绿色的等等，有的像星星，有的像笑脸，有的像太阳，它们一串串，一排排飞向天空，散落大地。烟花虽然转瞬即逝，但是它的美丽却长留人间，给人们以欢乐。给人们以启迪，我爱这转瞬即逝的烟花，更爱这美丽无比的元夜。

“东方夜放花千树，更吹落，星如雨。”在中国传统节日中，我最喜欢的就是元宵节，因为它代表着团圆，代表着欢乐。虽然今年的元夜已经结束，但它在我的记忆长河中最璀璨的一页，我爱着美丽的元夜。

元宵节到了，民间有三个习俗：一、吃元宵;二、看花灯;3、放烟花，今天我就在这儿说一说。

元宵有很多种口味：黑芝麻、蓝莓、巧克力等等，其中我最爱吃黑芝麻的了，外皮滑溜溜的(呵呵，听起来怎么那么像肥皂?)咬一口馅就出来了，不是那么甜得发腻，也没有那么淡。好吃!嘻……

我们也去看了花灯。刚入广场大门，可以看到两只高抬着头的凤凰，下面整齐地站着卖荧光棒的小贩，嘴里不停喊着：“走过路过别错过!”走到中间，看见一个大碗，釉色清晰明朗，真像明代的青花瓷!碗的下面还有还有“配餐”:大葱、辣椒、彩椒、西红柿。大碗的前面是一个小舞台，舞台后有八只张牙舞爪的长龙，威风凛凛。大碗的后面是三座冰雕，全是具有古典风格的房屋!大碗的左面是十二生肖有牛、虎、羊……咦?这是老鼠还是松鼠?

晚上，我们看了烟花。呵!从铁人广场一直排出两、三千米，这也验证了一个谜语：世界上最长的车是什么车?答：堵车。我不耐烦了，和妈咪下车看。烟花有红色、橙色、金黄色、绿色、紫色，那最好看的烟花也是最大的：砰，砰，砰，三个金黄色的烟花，形成了一个金黄色的树，漂亮极了。还有“黄金瀑布”、“变色花”……

今年，我们欢欢喜喜的闹了元宵节。

元宵节晚上，我们家要包汤圆。我很高兴，就让妈妈教我包汤圆，妈妈同意了。我看着妈妈把汤圆粉用温水和好，然后将一团和好的汤圆粉压成扁扁的圆形，将一些黑芝麻馅放在中间，最后将它包住，放在手心里滚来滚去，一个圆圆的汤圆就包好了，妈妈把它轻轻地放在撒满汤圆粉的一个大盘子里。

我看完后满不在乎，说：“这么简单呀，我一看就会!”我照着妈妈的办法，先将汤圆皮捏成薄薄的一个片，将芝麻馅放在汤圆皮上，包的时候我用力一捏，馅全出来了。我一看泄了气，决定不干了。妈妈：“一个没包好，再包一个，世上无难事，只怕有心人嘛!”妈妈让我不要放太多的馅，手不要捏的太紧。于是，我按照妈妈教我的方法又包了起来，一个又一个，馅已经很少往外跑了。紧接着我又发现一个问题，在捏皮时总是有些地方有点干，我加快了速度，尽量让它多保留一些水分。经过精心地学习，我终于包出了合格的汤圆。

晚上吃着自己包的汤圆，看着窗外绚丽的烟花，我心里美滋滋的。因为这甜美的汤圆也有我的一份功劳呀!
