A brief Introduction of the Chinese Spring Festival

The Chinese Spring Festival comes on the first day of the Chinese Lunar Year, which is usually in February. There is a name for each year, such as the dog, the monkey, the tiger or one of the twelve animals, and this year is the year of the pig.

Before the New Year’s Day, the Chinese people usually give their houses a good cleaning and on the last evening of the old year, all the members of a family will get together and have a big meal.

高中英语作文范文：完美的心

完美的心

One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming1) that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley. A large crowd gathered, and they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a flaw2) in it.

Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, "Why3), your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine!"

The crowd and the young man looked at the old mans heart. It was full of scars. It had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didnt fit quite right, and there were several jagged4) edges. In fact, in some places there were deep gouges5) where whole pieces were missing.

The young man laughed. "Comparing your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars."

"Yes," said the old man, "Yours looks perfect but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love. I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart that fits into the empty place in my heart.

"But because the pieces arent exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared.

"Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasnt returned a piece of his or her heart to me. These are the empty gouges - giving love is taking a chance.

"Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for those people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space Ive been waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is"

The young man walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect heart, and ripped6) a piece out. He offered it to the old man.

The old man placed it in his heart, then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young mans heart. It fit, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.

The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old mans heart flowed into his.They embraced7) and walked away side by side.

How sad it must be to go through life with a whole untouched heart!一天,一个年轻人站在镇子的中央,宣称他拥有整个山谷最美丽的心。一大群人围了过来,都交口称赞年轻人的心,因为这颗心完美无瑕。

一位老者突然出现了,说道:"嗨,你的心可不如我的心美丽啊!"

这群人和年轻人都看了看老者的心,只见上面布满伤痕。心上的一些部分被取走了,另外补上了其他人的,但并不十分吻合,还有几处边缘参差不齐。事实上,他的心上有些地方留下了深深的凹痕,整瓣整瓣的心都不见了。

年轻人笑道:"跟你的心相比,我的心才是完美的,你的心满是疤痕。"

"没错,"老者说:"你的心看上去很完美,但是我永远不会和你交换。你瞧,每处伤痕都代表一个我曾爱过的人。我撕下自己的一片心给他们,他们往往也会给我一片他们的心,填补我心中缺失的那部分。

"但是由于每片心大小并不完全相同,我的心有些粗糙的边缘,不过我很珍惜,因为它们让我想起我们之间分享过的爱。

"有时我把自己的几片心送出去,其他人却没有向我回馈他们的心。这些便成了空着的深痕--付出爱本来就是一种冒险。

"尽管这些凹痕让我感到痛苦,但它们敞开着,让我想起我对他们付出的爱,并希望有朝一日能得到回馈,填满这等待已久的空间。所以,现在你明白什么才是真正的美了吗"

年轻人走到老者面前,把手伸进自己完美的心中,撕下了一片,赠给了老者。老者把这片心放进自己的心里,然后从自己那颗苍老而又伤痕累累的心上撕下一片,放入年轻人心上的伤口。虽然能够放进去,但不十分吻合,因为有的边缘凹凸不平。

年轻人看了看自己的心,它虽然不再完美,却更加美丽,因为老者心中的爱流入了他的心田。

他们互相拥抱,然后并肩前行。

人这一生如果一直保持着一颗完整未动的心是多么可悲啊!

Many years ago, credit card was believed to be the great improvement to facilitate people’s life, since then, people didn’t have to carry the paper money at hand, a card could pay the bill. Nowadays, with the development of technology, a more convenient way has been invented. There are all kinds of APPs in China, people can shopping online, order the food and do all kinds of business, the most important thing is that they can pay money just to click the button. In the big cities, you don’t need to take money at hand, a smart phone can solve all the problems. When you buy things, you can take out your phone and then scan the two-dimension code, the bill is paid. The foreign media reported the convenient way and they were astonished by China’s change. In the future, more Apps will be invented.

许多年前,信用卡被认为是极大的改善和便利了人们的生活,从那时起,人们不用把纸币带在身上,信用卡可以支付账单。如今,随着技术的发展,发明了一种更加方便的方式。在中国有各种各样的应用程序,人们可以网上购物,饮食和做各种各样的业务,最重要的是,他们可以单击按钮付钱。在大城市,你不需要把钱带在身上,智能手机可以解决所有的问题。当你买东西时,你可以拿出你的手机,然后扫描二维码,支付账单。外国媒体报道了这种便捷的方式，他们震惊于中国的变化。在未来,更多的应用将会被发明出来。

Integrity, literally can be divided into honesty and trustworthiness. Honesty and keep faith, just as its name implies. Responsible for yourself, to be honest and trustworthy is responsible for others. They say: "gentlemans word is an arrow let fly." Heavy reputation, integrity is our traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Jinan of shandong province port ditch county village villagers creature can use action to explain the Chinese virtue, keep good faith.

In 1948, jinan campaign five martyrs died and Liu Yanbao grandfather by the army chief, look after five martyrs, and liujia people unwilling to pay someone carved five tombstone, and planted around the conifers. ChengJun one, and will keep a lifetime. The lius man to keep his promise in the forces that keep is 63, liu four generations, no matter how things change commitment of the heart. The lius mans story is a loyalty.

Liujia people use action interpretation of promises, but taobao shop moves all the way the busy up house but with a terrible price to tell us the importance of prestige.

Up house President said in an interview: "the best house in the beginning is only a small shop, I very want to develop it. On one occasion, a very good friend and I go to my home, he also brought a friend, we are chatting chatting is said here I really want to give up and housing development on the topic of when my friends friend, he said he had a friend, there are more than one thousand real hand bags, because home have something need to deal with, I was tempted you listen, take time to go look at the, the style is good, Ill use 10 sure-fire bought, but a few days later I received the goods, found that there is something wrong with the goods. At that time wanted to sell, suddenly thought of champions have garden, then put the heart a horizontal, is dumped goods 10 yuan a go out, the result was almost closed. Today in the morning to be able to change and also our philosophy has important relationship. At the beginning of haier group, too!"

Can be seen from the above example, honesty and hand letter is indispensable to our growth path. The old saying about; "You will lose some time we must give up big or small. The foundation of good faith, people.

诚信，从字面上看可以分为诚实与守信。诚实与守信，顾名思义。诚实是对自己负责，守信是对他人负责。俗语说：“君子一言，驷马难追。”重信誉、守诚信是我们中华民族的传统美德。山东省济南市港沟县神武村的村民就用行动来诠释了中华美德——守诚信。

在1948年济南战役时，5位烈士为国捐躯，刘延宝的爷爷受部队首长之托，照看5位烈士，而刘家人节衣缩食花钱请人刻了五个墓碑，并在周围栽上了松柏。承君一诺、必守终生。刘家人为了信守对部队首长的诺言这一守便是63年，刘家祖孙四代无论世事如何变迁，一直坚守心中的承诺。刘家人的事迹是一首忠义的赞歌。

刘家人用行动诠释了守承诺，然而淘宝网店一路走势红火的上上屋却是用惨痛代价告诉我们重信誉的重要性。

上上屋总裁在一次访问中说道：“上上屋在最开始的时候只是一家小店，我很想把它发展一下。有一次，一个和我很好的朋友去我家做客，他还带了一个朋友，我们聊着聊着就说到了我很想把上上屋发展一下的话题上，当时我朋友的朋友就说他有一个朋友，手里有一千多个真皮包，因为家里有点事需要处理一下，我当时一听就心动了，抽空去看了一下，样式还不错，我就用10万全买了，可是过了几天我收到货的时候，就发现货有问题。当时本想卖了，突然想到‘冠生园’的事，后来把心一横，就把货10元一个甩了出去，结果当时差点倒闭了。今天上上午能够如此蒸蒸日上也和我们的理念有重要关系。当初的海尔集团也是如此啊!”

从上面的例子可以看出，诚实和手信是我们成长道路上不可缺少的伙伴。古语讲;“有得必有失”有些时候我们必须舍大取小。诚信二字，人之根本。

Today was Sunday, I was so happy because our family had a big meeting, we went to the park to have the barbecue. We called our relatives to join us, it was such a great party. As the family members haven’t got together for a long time, so my father decided to get everybody united.

今天是星期天，我很开心，因为我们的家庭有一个大聚会，我们去公园烧烤。我们叫上了亲戚来加入，这是多么盛大的派对啊。由于家庭成员间很久没有在一起了，因此父亲决定把大家团聚在一起。在公园里，我和表亲们在玩，我们在参观公园，而家长们则在烧烤。在表亲们和我玩累了，我们就加入大人们的活动。父亲们在谈论生意上的事情，然而母亲们在谈论孩子和日常生活。我们的家庭是那么的和谐，一起分享东西和彼此帮助。我很喜欢这样的活动，我希望我的家人们能有的时间相聚。

But last week, my father finally finished his project, so that he could take a rest for some time. My father advised us to go to the zoo, I was so excited, because I hadn’t seen many animals in my life. In the zoo, there were so many people, it was so lively. I saw the monkey, the giraffe and so on. I saw these animals in the TV usually, but I saw them in front of me that day. The peacock impressed me so much, it looked homely when it laid down the ground, but when it stood up and opened the wings, it was so gorgeous. People said peacock was proud, indeed, it would not please people. I had a good time in the zoo.

对于我的家人来说，我们已经有很长一段时间没有外出活动了，因为爸爸总是很忙。但是上周，我的爸爸终于完成了他的项目，所以他能休息一段时间。爸爸建议我们去动物园，我很兴奋，因为我目前还没有看到过很多动物。在动物园里，有很多人，非常热闹。我看到了猴子，长颈鹿等等。我平常在电视上看到这些动物，但是那天我亲眼看到了。孔雀给我的印象很深刻，在它躺在地上的时候，看起来很普通，但是当它站起来，打开翅膀，是那么的美丽。人们说孔雀是傲慢的，确实，它不会取悦人们。在动物园里我度过了一段美好的时光。

The Value Of Time

I always think there is not enough time. For example， I have just taken a three-day holiday. But when I look back， I just feel that it‘s only one day. There goes a proverb， “Time is money”。 Now I want to say， time is more precious than money， because when money is spent， we can earn some more again. However， when time is gone or lost， never will it return.

Time goes without being noticed. The time for our study and work is usually limited. So I think we must make full use of our time. But it‘s a pity that I am always not aware of the importance of time until it’s too late.

So I think， I should get into the good habit of saving time because wasting time is equal to wasting one‘s life. Do not put off what can be done today till tomorrow!

According to my memory, my high school life was full of happiness and fortune because of my lovely friend and teacher. They are sunshine in my high school life.

I met my best friend in senior one. She is a girl with long legs, white skin, and small face. What makes me a deep impression is her wide shoulder, wider than other girls who have the same height as her. She was kind, treating me just like I was her sister. I didn’t live in school dormitory, but she did. So, I slept with her at noon. Sometimes we argued, but we both checked our mistakes and recovered our relationship soon. When we were senior two, I moved in school dormitory, I didn’t feel comfortable in there very fast. She took care of me and made me feel warm. In my opinion, she is more than a friend, like a family.

在高一的时候我遇到了我最好的朋友。她是一个女孩，有着一条长长的腿，白皙的皮肤和小小的脸蛋。她比同身高的女生都要宽的宽宽的肩膀让我印象深刻。她很善良，对我就像是她妹妹一样。我不在学校宿舍住，但是她在。所以，中午我和她一起睡。有时候我们会争吵，但我们都自我反省，之后我们的关系很快就会恢复了。当我们高二的时候，我搬到学校宿舍住，很快我就觉得不舒服。她照顾我，让我感到很温暖。在我看来，她不止是朋友，也是家人。

As for my teachers, my chemistry teacher is my favorite teacher. She is a woman with sweet smile, not so tall, but she built a tall imagination in my heart. I used to chat with her result from my failure in the exam. She is a divorced woman; however, she was steel, living a happy life with her daughter. I appreciate people with a strong heart, maybe the reason is that I want to be the kind of person who is always optimistic and can’t be defeated easily. She expresses that.

The high school memory is a valuable memory in my life. It’s my fortune to meet them, my sunshine.

在我的人生中高中记忆是我一段宝贵的记忆。遇见他们，我的阳光是我的运气。

However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it

hard names. It is not as bad as you are.

It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults in

paradise. Love your life, poor as it is.

You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a

poor-house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as

brightly as from the rich mans abode; the snow melts before its door as early

in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and

have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.

Every year on October 4th is the World Animal Day. It is proposed by the

Italian monk St Francis in 12th century. He lives in the forests of Assisi

Island for the long time, building a good relationship with the animals. So he

asks people to express thanks to the animals on October 4th. He sets a good

example for our human beings about how to deal with the relationship with

animals. In order to memorize him and what he does, we make October, 4th to be

World Animal Day. Nowadays, people from all over the world will hold various

activities to celebrate on that day. The aim of this festival is to remind

people to care for all animals and build a harmonious relationship with

them.

Since the reform and the opening up great changes have taken place in china so is the education unfortunately the development is uneven especially between rural and urban areas.

As we know education affect the future of a country it is so important that none of us can afford to ignore it.

Generally speaking as a result of the economic situationsthe city is more advanced in everyway compared with the country sidefar more fund and resources are poured into city while the rural erea was laged far behind.it is common to see that children in the city sit in the comfortable classroom with brandnew desk and chairs listening to the best teacher in almost every field while the students in the country side even did not have enough money to buy a penciland there is only three or four teachers in a so called school.

I remember that premier Wen said develpment must be for the people by the people and the achievement must be shared by all the people i dont think its right to see the gap in education expanding again and again there must something can be done to make sure the students in the countryside can enjoy equal high quality and affordable aducation as there counterparts in the city.

The high technology brings isolation between people. Some people dont often visit their parents and friends, for they believe that a call can solve all the things.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Goal Setting Is Important by commenting on John Ruskins famous remark, Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

【范文】Goal Setting Is Important

Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass. This philosophical wisdom by John Ruskin, one of the greatest British writers, tells us that goal setting is extremely important in life.

Why is goal setting so important? The main importance of goal setting is that it provides us with direction and purpose. When we have goals, we know what we want to achieve so that we can focus our mindson a single worthwhile target and avoid getting distracted easily. Personal goal setting also provides us with motivation to achieve what we want to achieve.

Goal setting is of especial significance for todays students. A study reveals that when students set goals, they learn the importance of taking responsibility, of minimizing excuses and of helping others. Goal setting is a lifelong skill that first helps students succeed in school and then later in life.

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。

[高中万圣节英语作文

一、遣词方面：用词要贴切而丰富，善用短语 ,词汇是语言的建筑材料，文章的好坏，选词很关键，如果用词精湛，就会使文章“亮”起来。

1、措辞要贴切具体

试比较下面句子：

A man is walking down the street.

A man is strolling down the street.

通过比较可以看出，前一句不如后一句表达得具体、生动。一个词如果内涵越具体，那么在特定的场景中恰当地使用它，就会收到意想不到的效果。很多同学写作时常随便用一个很笼统的词来描述一个具体事物或人，如 a nice man给人感觉很笼统空泛，我们可以用很多有个性的、具体的词描绘一个人，如 generous(大方的，慷慨的)，humorous(幽默的)，smart(漂亮的，潇洒的)，kind-hearted，warm-hearted，hospitable(好客的,招待周到的)，gentle(文雅的)，optimistic(乐观的)，easy-going(随和的)，spirited(英勇的)，cultivated(有教养的)，manly(有男子气概的)，knowledgeable(知识渊博的)等等。

2、要善于运用短语

短语用得好，会给评卷员留下深刻印象。如：

When he was a child，he wanted to learn everything.( 普通)

When he was a child，he had a strong appetite(胃口) for knowledge.(高级)

3、要避免汉语思维

用词要符合英语习惯，避免汉语思维的影响，如某些名词和动词搭配已约定俗成，不能随意打乱其搭配习惯，否则会显得生硬和词不达意。如汉语中的“学到知识”，英语中就不能说“learn knowledge”，而要说acquire knowledge (获得知识) 。类似的动宾结构还有achieve success (获得成功)，gain reputation (获得声誉)，attain ones end (达到目的)等。

二、造句方面：句式要准确而多变，活用复合句

简单句用得太多，会造成文章读起来乏味。在评卷员看来，同样意思的内容，能够运用比较复杂的句式结构来表达，当然会认为其运用语言的能力要比只会用简单句来表达要强，评分自然就高。

1、巧用非谓语动词

运用非谓语动词，可使文句看起来更简洁，使语言更加丰富多彩，重点更加突出，增加文采。如：

I covered my ears，trying to keep the noise out，but failed. (2004广东卷)

2、巧用with复合结构

“with+名词/代词+现在分词/过去分词/形容词/副词/介词”结构，常作伴随状语以增加被描绘内容的生动性和情感性，使文章读起来更简洁明了。试比较：

I couldnt go on studying because there was so much noise troubling me. (普通)

I couldnt go on studying with so much noise troubling me. (高级)

3、巧用复合句

高考评分标准强调使用语法结构的数量和复杂性，鼓励考生尽量使用较复杂的结构，并且对由此产生的错误采取了宽容的态度。如果恰当运用各类从句，就会使文章出彩。

如：(定语从句) Whats more，people have easy access to the Internet，which enables them to send and receive e-mails whenever they like.

4、巧用倒装句、感叹句、强调句、虚拟语气句等

使用这些句式可使文章化平淡为生动，加强语气，使评卷老师感受作者的强烈情感。

(倒装句)Only in this way can Internet Bars be well used by people.

(感叹句)I thought，“How hard mum is working! She must be very tired.”

5、巧用排山倒海句

如能运用一个个排比句、对偶句、不定式或短语，可令文章增色不少，会给评卷员眼前一亮的感觉。如：

The purpose of the program are to make our school more beautiful，to make the air cleaner and fresher，and to turn our school into a better place for us to study and live in.

三、谋篇方面：结构要清晰而流畅，巧用过渡词

众所周知，语言的最高层次不是传统语法所说的句子，而是语篇。语篇指的是一系列连接的语段或句子构成的语言整体。一篇好的文章不但句子正确，要点齐全，更重要的是有效地使用了语句间的连接成分。因此，恰当使用好连接性的词语和句子，是使作文获得高分的一个重要因素。

下列各组表示列举或补充的短语或句式非常实用，对高考写作很有帮助：

(1)Firstly...，secondly...，thirdly...，finally...

(2)In the first place...，in the second place...，in the third place...，lastly...
