春节假期英语小作文【经典20篇】

Spring Festival is the most important holiday for Chinese people. Excitement and happiness are palpable this time of the year， and they reach the peak on lunar new year‘s eve.

Though the 15-day period， which starts with the first day of the lunar new year and ends on the 15th day (known as Lantern Festival)， is relatively long， it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they have to make for family reunions， buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.

But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times， something that does not apply to society today. More often than not， people faced the risk of famine. The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty， and that was possible in spring， or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.

But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China， except for those who are still poor， can enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.

In the past， celebrations were limited to events like song-and-dance duets in North China， dragon/lion dances in South China and fireworks， which required the joint efforts of the entire community. But economic development and urbanization seems to have weakened the social links among people. Many， especially those living in cities， are not interested in celebrating the festival with people they hardly know.

Many customs associated with Spring Festival have changed， too. In the past， people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today， many people， especially the youth， use their cell phones or the Internet to send their good wishes and even "gifts" to their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones， but we should see this development as a time- and energy-saving exercise granted by the information age.

In recent times， many people have started praying for a career promotion or more money instead of invoking God or the Buddha for a healthy and long life and the welfare of their family. But the number of such people is decreasing now， which shows that people are becoming more reasonable.

I have a very happy holiday.

My father and mother take me to the zoo,and I see many lovely animals,like monkey,panda，tiger and so on.

This year is the Ox year,so we go to the cow factory to see the cows.Oh,how lovely they are!

With the bursts of firecrackers. The celebration of the Spring Festival comes at last.

However, at the same time, people play a lot of waste. According to the survey, the waste of the Spring Festival is 10 times as much as usual (non holiday). These figures are really to be counted, and you can imagine how amazing it is. So, at the same time, we do not forget to save.

The waste of food is especially serious during the Spring Festival. The new year, we have to prepare enough things in the supermarket to buy special purchases for the Spring Festival, convenient to move home; there are people who work units, friends. The source of special purchases for the Spring Festival not put, the home refrigerator, but on the outside. But just a few days later, the weather is getting warmer. The thing broke out immediately, couldnt eat it, and had to throw it away. There are also years of night meal, in order to be rich, all families have bought a lot of things, but they can eat very little, and finally there is a lot of surplus. “ more than &rdquo in years; a good omen, but the remaining things, but in the case of no one, were poured into the ditch or the roadside. New years festival is the peak of consumption. At this time for the Spring Festival shopping, eat and drink, do special purchases for the Spring Festival can. However, do not forget to save in the consumption, to eliminate waste.

In addition to the waste of food, the waste of the new year is very serious. In our lives, there is often a waste of electricity. As far as our family is concerned, thirty nights in the big year, the lanterns are hung up on my house, all night, and how much electricity is consumed. Also, in order to have a good sign, on the thirty night houses are the lights lit, night lights, electricity consumption as can be imagined how much.

There is a lot of waste in the Spring Festival. For example, gifts are given during the Spring Festival, which also presents the waste of gift packaging. Some units send gifts to employees in the new year, and everything is covered with beautiful packaging. It is too big to take home, but when the packing is removed, the original thing is much smaller. These packages are about half of the space, and most of them are new, so its a bit wasteful. Many shopping malls, supermarkets can see, many for the gift of people in the selection of those exquisite gift boxes. There is only two bottles of wine in a box that looks like the size of a normal TV screen. A lot of gifts are packed in layer after layer, so people dont know what it is inside. Its even doubted that the box is worth more than the inside. During the Spring Festival, the packing box is the most important time. It did cause a lot of waste of paper and plastic.

“ save the resources, start from me. ” to eliminate waste, the key is to start from yourself, start from small things, start from now!

谢谢你的来信。我很高兴听说你要来中国过春节。在中国，有很多人不能经常吃肉类，大米或其他美味的食物。他们只能在春节期间吃这些东西。所以每年他们都希望春节快到了。现在，虽然人们的生活是更好的，我们可以吃美味的食物，每天。人们仍然喜欢这个节日。因为大多数人可以有一个长长的假期，我们可以自由地去旅行或拜访我们的朋友或与我们的家庭聚会。在晚上，我们可以在餐厅大吃一顿饭，或在家里待在家里看电视节目。

我非常喜欢春节。

“起床啦！赶紧起床啦！”随着妈妈的吆喝声夹杂着一阵阵鞭炮声，我睁开了惺忪的双眼，迫不及待地穿上了新衣，听见客厅有嘈杂的喧闹声，就知道家里来客人了，一想起压岁钱，我心里就有了无名的冲动，使我马不停蹄从房间奔到了客厅，来到客厅，客人却已经走了，心想：都怪我太贪睡了，错过了一笔“大交易”我满是无奈，看着弟弟那双贼贼地眼神和他手里的五百块钱，我心里那个火啊，直直地往上窜，真想把钱全部拿走，没办法，再接再厉吧，呵呵。我干笑了几声，径直走进了厨房，肚子也咕咕地直叫唤，我捂着肚子，看见妈妈正在盛饺子，我急不可待地拿起筷子就吃，因为我太饿了。实际上我并不爱吃饺子，但今天我竟把饺子全吃完了，我激动啊！因为这是我最爱的三鲜馅的饺子。吃完饺子后，我和弟弟在家里等客人，而哥哥嫂子和爸爸妈妈去别人家拜年。我们就在客厅里等啊等，实在是闲得无聊了，我对弟弟说：“要不咱俩比赛吧，看看今年谁收的压岁钱最多了。”他一边炫耀着手中仅有的五百块钱，一边对我说：“反正都是我赢，你觉得有这个必要吗？但我还是想和你赌一把！”说完之后，我穿上鞋推着我的山地车就去走亲戚，心想：想跟我比，他在练两年吧。第一站，我去了大姨家，大姨正在看电视，看见我来了，就给了我五百块钱，心想：宁耀欣，你等着吧。第二站，去了二姑家，她家在小区里我怎么敲门都不开，应该没在家吧，我只能去三姑家，到了她家，三姑和我表姐好像正要出家门，正好被我碰个正着，我暗自庆幸，三姑毫不犹豫的给了我一千块钱，我心想：这次我真的会赢啦。我谢过三姑，恬不知耻屁颠屁颠地跑到大伯家，我大伯和大伯母正在那里说话，我心想：他俩一人五百，我又赚了！心想：宁耀欣你完蛋了。

回到家，看见他正在炫耀不知谁有给的五百元，心想：还在那炫耀呢，真不嫌丢人，我把刚刚有的两千五百块钱拿给他，他顿时呆若木鸡。

我赢了，这年过的真痛快！

My dog will be dead。 She is very old。 We have kept her for ten years。 Now her hairs are falling。 And she always lies on the ground。 She can’t see very clearly。

She eats a little。 She becomes thin。 She was very strong before。 She is still guarding my family。 She is one of my family member。 Now we are all uneasy because she will die。 I think you may know my thinking。 Even if it is a dog， you can’t forget it。 So these days， we feet her the best food。

There are a lot of valid, rich and colorful legends about the origin of the Lunar New Year. They can be traced to thousands of years ago, among which the most famous one is the legend of Monster Nian. Monster Nian was a cruel wild animal. Ancient people believed that Monster Nian would come out to eat people on New Year’s Eve. It was said that Monster Nian was afraid of red, fire and noise. In order to repel it, people would put the red notes on doors and keep the torch alight all night as well as set off firecrackers. Early next morning, people greeted each other. The air was filled with the victory and the rebirth joy.

农历新年的来源，有根据。丰富而多彩的传说，可追溯到几千年前。其中，最有名的就是“年兽”的传说。“年兽”是一只残忍凶猛的野兽，古代人相信“年兽”在除夕夜时会出来吃人。传说“年兽”极惧怕红色、火光及吵杂的声音，于是人们就在门上贴著红纸条，并整夜点著火炬、燃放炮烛，来避开“年兽”。到了第二天一大早，“恭喜”之声不绝于耳，空气中弥漫著打败“年兽”胜利与重生的喜悦。

My dream is very small, very funny, but I still used to fantasy ... ...

The dying sun blood-red. Great balls of red clouds in the sky as Van Goghs modern paintings. The remaining few drops of shallow bright pink through the aperture sprinkled on the pedestrians. Everything was gone, only a kind of comfort in the waves ... ... A rare one weekend, dont have school tomorrow, today can go out for a walk.

I often think, if the morning is a beginning, a young, a naive, the sunset? Is a kind of aging, or a mature? I dont know, I dont want to know. I only want to be immersed in a kind of rare walking aimlessly ... ...

Along the way, the adults in a walk. I dont know in the evening walk adults unique habits is it right?. Is it right? I walk an old head on young shoulders? Is it right? A waste of time? Maybe, you will say that I am with no ambition at all. But you know, a literary family may in the dusk of birth. Maybe, you will say I am too arrogant. However, a full and meaningful life is the idea behind the yearning. Dream eyes is dynamic, it is beautiful.

I really like walking in the evening, let all the trouble away, let the feeble life more red dream. Beautiful sunset, good comfort me ... ...

春节，中国人最重要的节日。是中国最盛大、最热闹、最重要的一个古老传统节日，也是中国人所独有的节日。

节，是农历的岁首，春节的另一名称叫过年，是中国最盛大、最热闹、最重要的一个古老传统节日，也是中国人所独有的节日。是中华文明最集中的表现。自西汉以来，春节的习俗一直延续到今天。春节一般指除夕和正月初一。但在民间，传统意义上的春节是指从腊月初八的腊祭或腊月二十三或二十四的祭灶，一直到正月十五，其中以除夕和正月初一为高潮。如何过庆贺这个节日，在千百年的历史发展中，形成了一些较为固定的风俗习惯，有许多还相传至今。在春节这一传统节日期间，我国的汉族和大多数少数民族都有要举行各种庆祝活动，这些活动大多以祭祀神佛、祭奠祖先、除旧布新、迎禧接福、祈求丰年为主要内容。活动形式丰富多彩，带有浓郁的民族特色。2006年5月20日，“春节”民俗经国务院批准列入第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。

春节的来历有一种传说，中国古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽，头长触角，凶猛异常。“年”长年深居海底，每到除夕才爬上岸，吞食牲畜伤害人命。因此，每到除夕这天，村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼逃往深山，以躲避“年”兽的伤害。有一年除夕，从村外来了个乞讨的老人。乡亲们一片匆忙恐慌景象，只有村东头一位老婆婆给了老人些食物，并劝他快上山躲避“年”兽，那老人捋髯笑道：“婆婆若让我在家呆一夜，我一定把‘年’兽撵走。”老婆婆仍然继续劝说，乞讨老人笑而不语。 半夜时分，“年”兽闯进村。它发现村里气氛与往年不同：村东头老婆婆家，门贴大红纸，屋内烛火通明。“年”兽浑身一抖，怪叫了一声。将近门口时，院内突然传来“砰砰啪啪”的炸响声，“年”浑身战栗，再不敢往前凑了。原来，“年”最怕红色、火光和炸响。这时，婆婆的家门大开，只见院内一位身披红袍的老人在哈哈大笑。“年”大惊失色，狼狈逃蹿了。第二天是正月初一，避难回来的人们见村里安然无恙十分惊奇。这时，老婆婆才恍然大悟，赶忙向乡亲们述说了乞讨老人的许诺。这件事很快在周围村里传开了，人们都知道了驱赶“年”兽的办法。(客家人的传说)从此每年除夕，家家贴红对联、燃放爆竹;户户烛火通明、守更待岁。初一一大早，还要走亲串友道喜问好。这风俗越传越广，成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日。

My vacation

my winter holiday is very dull. i stay at home for most of time. sometimes i visit my friends and play basketball with them. sometimes we go shopping.

one day， we go to the kfc. we have hamburgers， chicken coke and french fries. we have sore throats. we go home and have a rest. then we feel better. we go and play puter games! how mad we are!

this is the only thing i can talk about in the holiday.

I think Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. It’s a beginning that is new and full of luck for Chinese.

A few days before the Spring Festival, people will clean their house and do some shopping. They’re busy days for adults because of much house’s work. But children always look forward to the coming of those days, which is due to buying much delicious food and many beautiful clothes. Al seems new during those days.

In the New Year’s Eve, children will have their bodies cleaned and dress nice clothes early. Why do they seem to be poppet? Because adults always give more lucky money to the good children.

In the evening, all the members of family will sit around the table and have a big meal. Fish and meat often appears on the table. After the dinner, many families will watch TV together and enjoy the Party of Spring Festival on CCTV. At twelve o’clock, they will count seconds, “three, two, one” and say “Happy New Year” to each other. In the countries, some people will set off fireworks to celebrate the New Year.

The next morning, people don’t eat meat. Instead, they have vegetable dish. And then, adults will visit their friends and relatives with their children. It’s a good job for children because they can get more lucky money to buy things they like.

This winter vacation I was enjoy myself very much .Although I have a lot of homework to do but I always play basketball with my friends after finished my homework .I was happy in spring festival because my mother took me to many interested places and I saw many things which I never seen before .I also visited my grandparents and went to the park to see some beautiful flowers .

This winter vacation I really happy.

Hi! Peter,

I’m glad to know you are having a good time in Chengdu.

TheSpring Festival isthe most important festivalin China.Itis a custom togive lucky money to children. I get lucky money every year. I will put most of it in the bank, andspend the rest onsome books. This year is no exception(也不例外) and I also got lucky money.With it, I bought some school things for several poor students in Ningxia，hoping the things can bring some happiness to them.

For you,I think it’s a good idea tobuy a gift with the lucky money for your hostfamilybefore you leave China. You can also buy some Chinese gifts for your parents and friends in England. Or, just keep it as good memories.

I hope what I said can help you.

Yours,

Li Hua

这几年，许多同学都在假期补课，而且从来没有补过，由于我喜欢玩，不喜欢学习。眼看着新的假期又要来了，我们班上的许多同学都在报名被课。有的同学喜欢补数学；有的同学喜欢补作文；大多数同学喜欢补英语，由于英语太难啦！对我来讲，英语好像从来没有及格过，看着同学们都积极学习的样子，我也有些心动了。

由于去年假期，同学们都在补课，没有人和我玩，我现在想还不如去和他们一起补课算了，那么选哪一门课呢？后来想了一想，我就决定补自己最差的英语了。那天，我报了名，英语老师说：“凤凤，你早就得补你的英语了，这次来一定要好好学，其实英语一点都不难！”听了英语老师的话，我的心里别提多兴奋了。

到了补课其间，我们每个人都准备了新的笔记本，将老师讲的每一个要点都记了下来。因为在这里补课的同学还有其他班上的同学，所以学习热情很高涨，我也不好意思玩了。别的同学做什么，我就做什么，反正自己也没有好的学英语方法，所以现在就是我最好的学习机会。

差不多一个月的时间，我的英语水平提高了许多，最后的测试分数不再是倒数第一，我终于进步了。当我拿着成绩让爸爸妈妈看进，他们一直夸我有进步，并要继续努力。当时，我的心里乐滋滋的，非常感谢假期补英语的生活。

On the May first .I had done some interesting things for the family .First ,I helped my mother clean the house ,it was very difficult ,do you know ,mothers must be very tired ,you can see ,I just do housework for a short time ,and I felt very tired ,and mothers have to do housework everyday ,So ,we should thanks for mother .
