介绍光棍节的庆祝方式的英语作文【汇编20篇】

There are many customs in our hometown of ezhou: the Dragon Boat Festival is the leaves, the Mid-Autumn festival is eating moon cakes, qingming festival worship... Today I will tell you about the Spring Festival of ezhou!

"Spring Festival, Spring Festival to, the streets and alleys are really lively", I believe that you are not strangers to the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival is a traditional Chinese festival. When it comes to the beginning of the month of the twelfth lunar month, every family begins to get busy: salted fish, cured meat, and sausages. The grown-ups have to prepare presents for the children. Everyone was jubilant and filled with sweetness and warmth.

On the 24th day of the twelfth month of the twelfth lunar month, when the sky was dark, the firecracker went off. Many people began to wear new clothes, and every family began to prepare elaborate dishes.

On New Years eve, the atmosphere of Chinese New Year was everywhere. There are red and red couplets on the door, and some New Year pictures outside. At night, the lights were blazing and the sound of firecrackers went on all night. The room was steaming, and everyone was happy to eat the dinner, the cup, the laughter. After dinner, the family gathered around the fire to watch the Spring Festival gala. Nearly all of us will be punctual this night.

Its no exaggeration to say that "the Spring Festival is booming". Look! Red spring couplets, red firecrackers, red red envelopes. Red in the auspicious!

Early in the early morning, many people are staying at home and sleeping on New Years eve. Young children like to pay a lot of money, because "pay money".

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival arrived. Some big supermarkets hold guessing lantern riddles. Almost every time the lantern riddle activity, I and my cousin will participate, and each time will guess at a few, get a small gift! In the evening, many shops hang lanterns, but they are almost always the world of e-lanterns. On this day, every family will make dumplings and eat yuanxiao. Of course, the children who set off firecrackers on this day also have to hurry up, because after this day, the Spring Festival is over, and they cant play with firecrackers.

"In the sound of firecrackers, spring breeze sends warm to tu su." The Spring Festival brings us joy and happiness! Although the Spring Festival has passed, but its aftertaste is still in the air!

我们家乡鄂州的风俗很多：端午节系艾叶，中秋赏月吃月饼，清明节祭祖……，今天我就给大家讲讲鄂州的春节吧!

“春节到，春节到，大街小巷真热闹”，相信大家对春节一点都不会陌生吧。春节是中国的传统节日，到了腊月初旬，家家户户就开始忙碌了：腌咸鱼，晒腊肉，做腊肠……大人们还要给小孩子们准备礼物。每个人都喜气洋洋，心中泛着甜，窝着暖。

腊月二十四鄂州过小年，天一黑下来，鞭炮就响起了。许多人都开始穿新衣，家家户户也开始准备各种精美的菜肴。

除夕到了，各处都洋溢着过年的气氛。门外都贴上了红红的对联，有的家门外还贴年画。夜里，家家户户灯火通明，鞭炮声一夜不绝。屋里热气腾腾，大家开开心心吃着年夜饭，碰着杯，笑声连绵不断。吃完饭，一家人围在炉火旁，观看春节联欢晚会。这一夜，几乎所有人都会守岁。

“ 红红火火过春节”，这可一点都不夸张。看!红色的春联，红色的鞭炮，红色的红包。红色寓示着吉祥!

大年初一早，许多人都因除夕晚守岁在家睡觉，下午才会拜年。小孩子最喜欢到处拜年，因为“拜年”——“收钱”。

正月十五，元宵节到了。一些大型超市举办猜灯谜活动。几乎每次的灯谜活动，我和表姐都会参加，而且每次都会猜对几个，得到一些小礼品呢!晚上，许多店铺都会挂上灯笼，但几乎都是“电子灯笼”的世界。这一天，家家户户都要包汤圆，吃元宵。当然，这一天爱放鞭炮的孩子们也得抓紧，因为过了这一天，春节就结束了，也就不能玩爆竹了。

“ 爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏。”春节带给了我们欢乐和幸福!虽春节已过，但它的余味还在空气中弥漫!

介绍自己学习英语的方法(introduced that oneself studies english the method)

now i’m going to share my experience of studying english with all of you.

i shall mention that speaking is the first skill we must learn by heart. the more we speak, the better we understand. and it’s good for you to try to speak well. as a language, english is really useful. so, we should practice it more, not only study for the examinations.

the next question is listening. if you can’t listen well, you won’t be able to understand what others say. perhaps you should do some more listening exercises when you are free, or talk with your teachers and friends in english more. reading after the tapes is also a good idea. in this way, you could try to imitate their pronunciation and improve your listening.

do you often read articles in english? i enjoy it very much. there are many great english storybooks and magazines in the stores. i have been reading the 21st century teens for a long time, and i think this copy of english newspaper is pretty good. if you are interested in them, read by yourself and you will find lots of fun from reading. and one day, you may fall in love with it.

some students may have a serious problem writing compositions. they worry about it but don’t know what to do, for their compositions are short and rambling, and they often make mistakes in grammar. of course, it’s a long process to improve your writing, but it’s not so difficult. for example, i have been keeping diaries in english since eight months ago. on the one hand, you could write more and get more experience in this way; on the other hand, you could express your feelings. isn’t it a good idea to kill two birds with one stone?

well, the most important thing is that you must think out why you study english so hard. i think i shall stress on this problem. don’t think of your test paper and marks now, think about your own life and the future of your homeland. that’s why we study so hard.

nothing is impossible in the world, believe it ,do it !

Yesterday was Teachers Day. It was a great day for all the teachers and also a happy time for us students. In the morning.we went to school early and put a bunch of flowers on our class masters desk to give him a big surprise. Some of us stood at the school gate to say hello to every teacher when they entered the school. In the afternoon, we held a party. We sang and danced with the teachers. They said the best reward for the teachers was to see that we were making progress.

With the progress of the times, we have made a great change in China, and the night dinner is a good witness.

The words at the end of twentieth Century, on every new years Eve every family all at home with a big "blessing" word, in a small square table placed on delicious food, a family of three sat at the table, eating reeky meals, laughing and talking. "Its another year, Im going to be a year old again!" One wearing glasses, wearing a white tunic grandfather holding a cigarette said with a smile. The opposite wearing flower jacket grandmother holding chopsticks, answered: "yes, my son grow up, we are old." "Dad, mom, you are still young, not so fast..." After only listening to a young man in a black suit, the two old men laughed. Dont look at this years night meal simple, simple, in fact it is very warm. This is a warm years dinner.

The evening meal in the early twenty-first Century was quite different from that in the past. This time they came to the hotel, and hotel, there is a lively scene. Look, a bright ribbon hanging on the wall, a large "Fu" word in the middle. A pair of couplets is especially attractive: Happy Spring Festival and auspicious new year. Hengpi: good luck in everything. Look at the table again, and the delicacy is full of the table. Two men, the father and son, sit at the round table and raise their glasses. The son says, "Dad, Ill give you a cup and wish you health." Dad laughed and said, "good, good." After talking about his neck, he drank the wine at one breath, and the son drank the glass too. The wife holds the little baby in the middle of the sleep. Look, the little guy is asleep in her mothers arms. My mother stood beside my father, smiled and said: "Oh, today is really happy ah!" Oh, this is a happy dinner.

Todays night dinner is simply not the same as before. Son drove white to "fly", carrying on elderly parents, wife and children have grown up, smiling. The son said, "Dad, mom, now living conditions are good, high technology everywhere." Mom and dad nodded frequently and said, "yes, yes!" Under the "flying number", it is a high building with different shapes, triangular and rectangular shapes. Oh, this is a high tech years dinner.

The day and night, the better and better, reflects the change of our China and wishes China more prosperity and prosperity.

It is said that Chengdu is a city which if you come you cant leave.It has a long history.there stands Du Fus thatched cottage ,The Temple of Zhugeliang and some other place of historical interest.They are all so famous that many foreign tourists like to come here.Chengdu also has a comfortable weather for people who live in there.Even though in the winter it is still warmer than any other cities in China.Besides,as Chengdu people are fond of eating,they have created many delicious food such as hot pan,Three Big guns,and some others.

Chinese New Year，is the most important festival for all of us. All family members get together on New YearEve to have a big meal.At the same time， everyone celebrates to each other.At about 12 oclock，some parents and children light crackers.The whole sky is lighted brightly. We may watch the fireworks excitedly.How busy it is！

On the first early moring of one year， many senior citizen get up early and they stick the reversed Fu or hang some couplets on the front door. Some houses windows are sticked on red paper cutlings.

The Chinese New Year lasts fifteen days. So during the fifteen days， we always visit our relatives from door to door. At that time， children are the happiest because they can get many red packets form their parents，grandparents， uncles， aunts and so on. The last day of the Chinese New Year is another festival. It names the Lantern Festival.

So the Chinese New Year comes to the end.

American eating is funny. They eat almost everything with a fork, and it appears that holding a knife in ones right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners.

The system is that if it is absolutely necessary to use a knife, people take the fork in their left hand, and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the normal manner. Then they put the knife down, transfer the fork to their right hand, and only then do they transport the food to their mouth. This is clearly ludicrous(滑稽可笑), but it is considered good manners.

There are several results of this system. First, if it is not absolutely necessary to use a knife, Americans dont use one, because obviously this greatly complicates(使复杂化) things, and you will therefore see them trying to cut things like potatoes, fish and even bacon(熏猪肉) with a fork. Second, towards the end of a course, since only one implement(器具) is being used, food has to bo chased around the plate with the fork - and for the last mouthful the thumb has to be used to keep the food in place, although one is not supposed to do this.

Third, tables are generally laid with one knife and two forks, the outside fork being for the salad. There is no need for foreign visitors to follow the American system and try to eat the salad with only a fork, but if you do use your knife, remerber to save it for the meat course. Even desserts(甜食) (except ice cream) are eaten with a fork if at all possible, and the spoon you see by your dessert is meant to be for coffee (but if you use it for your dessert no one will say anything).
