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.

中秋节是我国传统的节日。在这一天里家家都洋溢着节日的气氛。据《礼记》记载：“天子春朝日，秋夕月。朝日之朝，夕月之夕。”这里的夕月之夕，指的正是夜晚祭祀月亮。这种风俗不仅为宫廷及上层贵族所奉行，随着社会的发展，也逐渐影响到民间。

——作者手记

中秋节起源于元代末年，江苏泰州的反元起义领袖张士诚(或说是朱元璋的谋士刘伯温)利用中秋民众互赠圆饼之际，在饼中夹带“八月十五夜杀鞑子”的字条，大家见了饼中字条，一传十十传百，如约于这天夜里一起手刃无恶不作的“鞑子”(元兵)，过后家家吃饼庆祝起义胜利，并正式称中秋节的圆饼为月饼。在后来很长历史时期，甚至在上世纪末，许多月饼上还贴有一方小纸片!只可惜，近年所产月饼已不见小纸片踪影，月饼所含代代相传的“文化密码”荡然无存。另有一说为，明洪武初年，大将徐达攻下元朝残余势力盘踞的元大都北京，捷报传到首都南京，正在下棋的明太祖朱元璋欣喜若狂，即传谕中秋节普天同庆，并将当初反元大起义时传递信息的月饼赏赐臣民。月饼从此成为中秋节“法定”的食品，非食不可了。

吃月饼有很大的意义，吃月饼以示“团圆”。月饼，又叫胡饼、宫饼、月团、丰收饼、团圆饼等，是古代中秋祭拜月神的供品。相传我国古代，帝王就有春天祭日、秋天祭月的礼制。在民间，每逢八月中秋，也有左右拜月或祭月的风俗。“八月十五月儿圆，中秋月饼香又甜”，这句名谚道出中秋之夜城乡人民吃月饼的习俗。月饼最初是用来祭奉月神的祭品，后来人们逐渐把中秋赏月与品尝月饼，作为家人团圆的一大象征，慢慢的，月饼也就成为了节日的必备礼品。

“每届中秋，市人之巧者，用黄土抟成蟾兔之像以出售，谓之兔儿爷。”旧时北京东四牌楼一带，常有兔儿爷摊子，专售中秋祭月用的兔儿爷。此外，南纸店，香烛也有出售的。这兔儿爷，经过民间艺人的大胆创造，已经人格化了。它是兔首人身，手持玉杵。后来有人仿照戏曲人物，把兔儿爷雕造成金盔金甲的武士，有的骑着狮、象等猛兽，有的骑着孔雀，仙鹤等飞禽。特别是兔儿爷骑虎，虽属怪事，但却是民间艺人的大胆创造。还有一种肘关节和下颔能活动的兔儿爷，俗称“刮打刮打嘴”，更讨人喜欢。它虽为拜月的供品，但实在是孩子们的绝妙玩具。

在几十年前的北京街头，大约六十多岁以上老北京都还能记得。一过七月十五，兔儿爷摊子就摆出来了。前门五牌楼、后门鼓楼前、西单、东四等处，到处都是兔儿爷摊子，大大小小，高高低低，摆的极为热闹。

There are many festivals in China，During these holidays, my favorite holiday is Chinese New Year.Not only because it’s the biggest festival in the year, but also because it’s a new beginning that brings hope to people and it’s time for family gathering.Before the festival, people come home no matter where they are.Usually, we have a big dinner on the New Year’s Eve. And then families sit together and share their lives or planes.Some will play games or hang out to have some fun.

On the New Year’s Day, people get up early and say good words to anyone they meet.Children can get lucky money from relatives.In the following days, we will visit relative’s home and bring New Year’s wishes to them.In short, it’s a time for family gathering and all of us enjoy it.

在中国，一年有很多节日，在这些节日中，我最喜欢春节。这不仅因为它是一年中最大的节日，更因为它是新一年的开始，给人们带来新的希望，也因为它是亲朋好友团聚的时刻。不管身在何方，人们总会在春节前回到家里准备过节。

通常，我们会在除夕夜吃一顿丰盛的晚餐，之后家人团座一起，分享一年以来的生活以及新年计划。有的人则会玩游戏或者出去玩。大年初一，人们通常会早起，会与见到的人说吉祥话。孩子们会得到压岁钱。在接下来的几天里，人们会带上新年祝福互相串门拜年。总之，春节是一个欢聚一堂、供人享乐的日子。

High school is very important in one’s lifetime. Nowadays, the movies about the high school time are so popular, but the stories are exaggerated, my memories about high school life are so different from the movie. During the three years, study occupied most of my time. I fought for the future with my classmates. We studied together and shared our opinion about the difficult points. When I made great progress, I was so happy, but when I fell behind, I would not give up. I grew up and became patient, I was not the little girl anymore. In the part-time, I would go to play basketball with my friends, it became the most exciting thing at that time. Though the high school life was simple, I gained a lot.

高中是一个人一生中非常重要时刻。如今,关于高中生活的电影如此受欢迎,但这些故事被夸大了,我对高中生活的记忆是不同于电影里面的。在三年里,学习占据了我大部分的时间。我和我的同学们一起为未来奋斗。我们一起学习，并且分享我们对难点的意见。当我取得很大的进步的时候,我很高兴,但是当我落后,我也不会放弃。我长大了,变得有耐心,我不再是个小女孩了。在课余时间,我会和我的朋友一起去打篮球,这成为最令人兴奋的事情。尽管高中生活很简单,但是我收获了很多。我永远不会忘记曾我和一起学习的同学。

Generation gap refers to the misunderstanding between the old and young.

The term came into fashion after the 1980s. However, in recent years, the

phenomenon is getting more and more fierce.

How does generation gap come into being? The first reason is that the two

generations have grown up in different ages, thus they have different attitudes

toward life. Secondly, due to having little in common with each other, they are

unwilling to sit down and talk face to face. Besides, as modern life is so

stressful, both of them are so busy with their study or work that they have not

enough time to exchange their ideas.

To bridge the generation gap is not easy at all, but we can do something to

shorten it. For one thing, children should respect their parents as well as

accept their good advice. For another, parents should not only show their love

and care to the kids, but also support their good life view. As long as the old

and young can understand each other, it would be more harmonious in family and

world.

On Sunday morning, my parents took me to the zoo. We dint go there for a long time.

When my friends ask me to take pictures of them, they will take a lot of pictures and then only keep a few of them.

Because they are not satisfied with most pictures, they think they are not perfect.

Actually, when I look at the pictures, there is nothing serious in my eyes, everyone in the pictures look as they are.

People chase for the perfect side, that’s why more and more people choose to have the plastic surgery.

Take the celebrities for example, they look beautiful enough, but to make themselves look perfect, most of them take the plastic surgery, which makes them look unnatural. People have to cost the great price for chasing the perfect side, while no one is perfect.

If we accept our imperfect side, we will live in the easy way and can enjoy the life.

当我的朋友们叫我帮拍照的时候，他们会拍很多照片，然而只有少部分照片能保存下来。因为他们不满意大部分的照片，觉得自己看起来不完美。实际上，当我看到照片的时候，在我看来没有什么大问题，照片中的每个人看起来都像他们自己的样子。人们追求完美的一面，这也是为什么越来越多的人选择去进行整容手术。就拿名人来说，他们看起来足够漂亮，但是为了让自己看起来完美，大部分人进行了整容手术，这让他们看起来不自然。为了追求完美，人们不得不付出很大的代价，然而没有人是完美的。如果我们接受自己不完美的方面，那么我们就会过得轻松点，享受好生活。

中秋祭月，在我国是一种十分古老的习俗。据史书记载，早在周朝，古代帝王就有春分祭日、夏至祭地、秋分祭月、冬至祭天的习俗。其祭祀的场所称为日坛、地坛、月坛、天坛。分设在东南西北四个方向。北京的月坛就是明清皇帝祭月的地方。《礼记》载：“天子春朝日，秋夕月。朝日之朝，夕月之夕。”这里的夕月之夕，指的正是夜晚祭祀月亮。这种风俗不仅为宫廷及上层贵族所奉行，随着社会的发展，也逐渐影响到民间。

文人赏月

赏月的风俗于祭月，严肃的祭祀变成了轻松的欢娱。民间中秋赏月活动约始魏晋时期，但未成习。到了唐代，中秋赏月、玩月颇为盛行，许多诗人的名篇中都有咏月的诗句。待到宋时，形成了以赏月活动为中心的中秋民俗节日，正式定为中秋节。与唐人不同，宋人赏月的是感物伤怀，常以阴晴圆缺，喻人情事态，即使中秋之夜，明月的清光也掩饰不住宋人的伤感。但对宋人来说，中秋还有另外一种形态，即中秋是世俗欢愉的节日：“中秋节前，诸店皆卖新酒，贵家结饰台榭，民家争占酒楼玩月，笙歌远闻千里，嬉戏连坐至晓”(《东京梦华录》)。宋代的中秋夜是不眠之夜，夜市通宵营业，玩月游人，达旦不绝。拜月

民间拜月

明清之后，因时代的关系，社会生活中的现实功利因素突出，岁时节日中世俗的情趣俞益浓厚，以“赏月”为中心的抒情性与神话性的文人传统减弱，功利性的祭拜、祈求与世俗的情感、愿望构成普通民众中秋节俗的主要形态。因此，“民间拜月”成为人们渴望团聚、康乐和幸福;以月寄情。

在古代有“秋暮夕月”的习俗。夕月，即祭拜月神。设大香案，摆上月饼、西瓜、苹果、红枣、李子、葡萄等祭品，其中月饼和西瓜是绝对不能少的。西瓜还要切成莲花状。在月下，将月亮神像放在月亮的那个方向，红烛高燃，全家人依次拜祭月亮，然后由当家主妇切开团圆月饼。切的人预先算好全家共有多少人，在家的，在外地的，都要算在一起，不能切多也不能切少，大小要一样。

月光马儿

明清时期月神形象发生了重要变化，由早期纯道教色彩的以嫦娥为主的月宫图景演变为佛道交融的月光菩萨与捣药玉兔并在的世俗形象。这个时期，人们供奉绘有月光菩萨的月光纸，也叫“月光马儿”。富察敦崇的《燕京岁时记》(一九ο六年)。记载：“月光马者，以纸为之，上绘太阴星君，如菩萨像，下绘月宫及捣药之兔。人立而执杵，藻彩精致，金碧辉煌，市肆间多卖之者。长者七、八尺，短者二、三尺，顶有二旗，作红绿，笆或黄色，向月而供之。焚香行礼，祭毕与千张、元宝等一并焚之。”

The Mid-Autumn is a very important Chinese festival.It falls on the 15th day of August.A few days before the festival,everyone in the family will help to make the house clean and beautiful.Lanterns will be hung in front of the house.
