The Origin of Halloween

While there are many versions of the origins and old customs of Halloween, some remain consistent by all accounts. Different cultures view Holloween somewhat differently but traditional Halloween practices remain the same.

Halloween culture can be traced back to the Druids, a Celtic culture in Ireland, Britain and Northern Europe. Roots lay in the feast of Samhain, which was annually on October 31st to honor the dead.

Samhain signifies "summers end" or November. Samhain was a harvest festival with huge sacred bonfires, marking the end of the Celtic year and beginning of a new one. Many of the practices involved in this celebration were fed on superstition.

The Celts believed the souls of the dead roamed the streets and villages at night. Since not all spirits were thought to be friendly, gifts and treats were left out to pacify the evil and ensure next years crops would be plentiful. This custom evolved into trick-or-treating.

万圣节的起源

尽管关于万圣节的起源和旧俗有很多不同的看法，但有一些是被所有人接受的。不同文化看待万圣节总是有点不同，但是传统的万圣节做的事情都是一样的。

万圣节文化可以追溯到德鲁伊教，这是一种爱尔兰、北欧和英国的凯尔特文化，根植于Samhain节的庆祝活动，Samhain节于每年的10月31日纪念逝者。

Samhain节说明夏天结束或者十一月，是一个丰收的节日。在Samhain节会燃起神圣巨大的篝火，标志着凯尔特一年的结束和新一年的开始。一些做法因为迷信被加入庆祝活动中。

凯尔特人相信死者的灵魂会在夜里出没在街道和村庄。因为他们认为不是所有的灵魂都是友善的，所以就把礼物和好吃的留在外面安慰恶灵来确保来年的庄稼可以丰收。这种习俗演变成了trick-or-treating。

每年我们都会过各种各样的节日，在这些节日里，我最喜欢圣诞节，因为圣诞老人会给我们送礼物。

12月24日的晚上，我正在写作业，突然传来了妈妈的叫声：“邓卓彧，外面有个人说你写的春联的字好漂亮，你去看看是谁哦?”我慢慢地走到门口，轻轻地打开门，一看，惊讶的叫起来：“哇!圣诞老人!”原来一位穿着一身大红衣服，戴着一副眼镜的圣诞老人从天而降。圣诞老人来送礼物啦!我欣喜而又激动的看着他。只见他从一个大袋子里拿出了好多礼物，我紧张得手都有点发抖。圣诞老人温和的对我说了好多的话，要我好好学习，做一个优秀的孩子!妈妈还给我和圣诞老人照了好多相呢!圣诞老人要走了，他说还要给好多孩子送礼物。我这才知道圣诞老人是多么的辛苦啊!这么冷的冬天，下着雨，出来给那么多的孩子带去了温暖和快乐。

我希望每天都是圣诞节。

Speaking of Christmas, I would not hesitate to think of the Spring Festival in China, is a beautiful Christmas tree, is an ancient culture of traditional paper-cut grilles; Is a funny Santa Claus, a surplus of the host is on a smile, both seem to have nothing to do, however, the Chinese New Year and Christmas in the west is the same, is the same as a grand festival!

I, a Chinese descendant, but like a western festival to commemorate Jesus. Although Christmas in China there is no deep meaning is spread to western countries, however, many people want to make Chinas Christmas also as grand as interesting as we think --

Since childhood, I thought: Christmas have a Christmas tree, and even if there is no interesting old Santa Claus, students can also be friends each other gifts, if Chinas Christmas is as grand as the Spring Festival this much good, each have a high to the ceiling luxuriantly green Christmas tree, the good has a lot of trees, pieces of fine gifts, hung on the Christmas tree also states the art incomparable big bowknot. People are interested in can also be dressed in Santa Claus when night falls, people are sleeping, carrying a big bag of a toy gadgets dot small snacks, quietly sent a a. Can also put some of his best friend is about to have a Christmas party together in the home, their carefully prepared some small things, although it is worthless, but it is truly priceless friendship; Do a also mean the meal together, he to do not ask, he said fast, then the tomatoes on his face; Decorate the house together, "he said bench points, further to the right as soon as he moves, he stood instability; Beat together, rooms are full of people, he put the pillow was blowing in his face, he will play in the egg on his face...

Adults also play day and night, discussing with classmates outside worry their joys and sorrows suantiankula, and had close friends heart-to-heart talk...

Christmas, if this become vigorous, then people will be the most popular Christmas a holiday!

说起圣诞节，我会毫不犹豫地想到我国春节，一个是美轮美奂的圣诞树，一个则是古老文化的传统剪纸窗花;一个是风趣横生的圣诞老人，一个则是台上笑盈的主持人，两者似乎毫不相干，但是，中国的春节与西方国家的圣诞节是一样的，是一样的一个盛大的节日!

我，一个炎黄子孙，却喜欢一个西方国家纪念耶稣的节日。虽然在中国圣诞节没有什么深刻的意义是西方国家流传而至的，但是，很多人想让中国的圣诞节也像我们想象中那样盛大那样有趣——

自小，我就在想：圣诞节有圣诞树，还有即使是不存在的有趣的圣诞老人，还可以同学朋友之间互相送礼物，如果中国的圣诞节也像春节那么盛大该多好啊，每家有一棵高至天花板的碧绿碧绿的圣诞树，经济好的有好多棵，圣诞树上挂着一件件精美的礼物，还邦着一个艺术无与伦比的大蝴蝶结。有兴趣的人们还可以穿着圣诞老人的衣服当夜幕降临人们都睡时，拿着一大袋一玩具小玩意儿小东西小零食，悄悄地一家一家送去。还可以把自己的一些要好的朋友约到家里一起过个圣诞派对，自己精心准备一些小东西，虽然是不值钱的，但是这才是真正无价的友谊;一起做一顿还意思的饭，他来问做好没，他说快了，然后西红柿就砸在了他的脸上;一起装饰屋子，他说凳子再往右点，他刚一出手，他就站不稳了;一起打打闹闹，几个房间都是满满的人，他把枕头打在他脸上，他又将鸡蛋打在他脸上……

大人们也玩的日日夜夜，在外面与同学们讨论心事自己的喜怒哀乐酸甜苦辣，与曾知心交心的朋友谈心……

圣诞节，如果变得这样轰轰烈烈，那么圣诞节将是人们最欢迎的一个节日!

在这辉煌快乐的圣诞佳节，献上一切美好的祝福!以下是小编带来的圣诞节祝福语，希望对你有帮助。

With the development ofscience and technology ,different kinds of pollution has been produced andcaused global concern recently.

As we know, people have beenliving on the earth for thousands of years, human activity damaged natural environment, such as excessive abuse of natural resources ,the sewage dischargedfrom factories ,the animal slaughter ,kinds of chemical fertilizers andgreen-house effect. All that is mentioned above has a bad impact on the eco-system .Now, many animals aredying out. We are suffering from unhealthy food and water, we are faced withharmful rays and global warming. It was ourselves who had made a series oftroubles. As you can see, we are the final victim.

Above all, if we human beings cannot recognize theseserious problems and try our best to solve them soon, we would finally lose theenvironment suitable for us to live. So, it is our duty to protect theenvironment ,but what should we do to protect it?

In my opinion, the first and important thing is tounite all forces ,that is to say---gather all hearts together. Next we shouldprotect and plant more trees, which can dispose of the dust in the air. As forfamilies, it is effective to ride bicycles rather than drive cars. Don’t litteranywhere as you like. In addition, sorting and recycling the rubbish also playan essential role in the protection of our earth. We’d better call on everyone aroundus to lead a low-carbon life, as it may make a difference to the environment.

Thus, it’s high time that we did something to improveour surroundings. Everybody should raise the awareness to protect our motherearth. Let’s appeal to more people to join us.

All in all ,there’s no doubt that keeping the balanceof human and nature ,we will benefit a lot.

[给父母的一封信高中英语满分作文

Since I was very small, my parents sent me to learn painting. They thought

I could understand art and mastered one skill. This experience brings me the

sense of art. I have my own understanding of it.

On the one hand, art is an important way to express peoples opinion. When

we see the pictures, the difference between classical and ordinary paintings

lies in the thoughts. The famous artists implant their ideas in the pictures,

which are admitted by the public, so the value of arts can be seen. Some famous

artists expressed their unique opinion and gives arts great meaning.

On the other hand, art is not only from works, but also from life. For

example, my mother cooks the delicious food. Everybody speaks highly of her. So

her food brings people great happiness, which makes the food an art for me.

Whats more, my friends is good at communicating. The way she talks can convince

other easily, so I call the way she communicates as an art.

In all, for me, art is around. It brings people a way to see the world or

makes our life wonderful.

if you want to understand adversity, take two identical acorns from the same oak tree and plant them in two different locations. plant the first in the middle of a dense forest, and the other on a hill by itself.

要是你想理解什么是逆境，就去拿两颗从同一棵树上摘下来年龄相同的橡树果，并且把它们种到不同的地方。第一颗种在浓密的树林当中，而另外一颗则单独种在一座山上。

heres what will happen. the oak standing on a hillside is exposed to every storm and gale. as a result its roots plunge deep into the earth and spread in every direction, even wrapping themselves around giant boulders. at times it may seem the tree isnt growing fast enough—but the growth is happening underground. its as if the roots know they must ported the tree from the threatening elements.

事情的结果便是这样。那颗长在山上的橡树经历了大风大雨，结果它的根深深地扎进了泥土中间，并不断向四周扩张，甚至把自己置身于巨大的石块当中。有时它可能看起来长的不是很快，但这时它却在地下悄悄生长着，好像它的根知道自己必须快速生长来保护树木免受自然危害的影响。
