每年的寒假总是在丰富多彩也是最难忘的。在今年寒假，我就经历一件我非常难以忘怀的事情，直到现在想起这件事情我的脑海里还会后怕。

记得那是大年初四的一天，家里面的大人都出去了，家里边只剩我和我的小伙伴们一起在玩鞭炮。整个小区里面都沉浸在欢乐的气氛之中，我们大家玩鞭炮也玩的很开心了，可是渐渐的我们大家也都玩儿烦了。于是有人提出来要不要玩一些新的花样。我们大家找来一些空瓶子然后把点炮点燃之后放入瓶子里面盖上盖子，不一会鞭炮点燃之后就会把瓶子给炸的很高。我们大家尝试着新的玩法，都很开心了。可是不一小会就发生了一件惊心动魄的事情，吓得我们大家一身冷汗!我把鞭炮放瓶子盖上盖子之后，瓶子飞的特别的高，险些炸到我的脑袋。后来听爸爸妈妈说这种玩法是非常危险的，我们大家也就停止了这种新的玩法。

这个寒假过的可真是惊心动魄啊!还好没有受伤，这次我可是真的收到了一个大大的教训。

This winter holiday, I and my friend xu yi da went to go to nie weiping weiping to attend the seven days of go training, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Training the night before, specially dad told me: "the camp, the chess winning or losing is not important, important is after the training, you can calm down, steadfast, seriously do a thing." But I was still not very confident, afraid of losing, and I was nervous because I had not played chess for more than a year.

The first day, we went to the dojo, my friend xu meaning of previously learned weiqi, at this level is good, directly into the class of level 2 to 1, I dont play chess for a long time, the level is not high, into 10 level to level 2 class. Each class has three groups. The group A of our class is level 2, group B is level 5, and group C is level 10. I was first assigned to group B. The teacher first lecture in the morning, lets learn some knowledge, then rest for 30 minutes, another game, next 2 games in the morning, go to the canteen to eat lunch at noon, and then an hour lunch break, first lecture in the afternoon, after the game, generally 3 ~ 4 games. On this day, I played five sets of chess, but I lost four sets of chess, and my opponent was three or four years younger than me. I was so frustrated that I felt terrible. On the way home, I was silent and determined to play chess and beat the match. Today I was second from bottom to group C, and I would play it tomorrow. When I got home, my father comforted me and told me to try to play chess tomorrow and play again.

The next day, I was listening carefully, answering questions actively, and I was able to recover my abilities, and I did not look back.

In learning chess, it is not only the level of weiqi that has promoted me, but also my self-confidence. What is more important is that I can calm down and do one thing unimpetuously and earnestly.

本文是一篇800字寒假英语作文，题目为the Bicycle ，文章表达了作者对自行车的喜爱之情，下面就让我们一起来欣赏全文吧!

As it’s known to all, China is popular for its emperor of bicycles. This is because our country is still a developing country and few people can afford private cars. The demand for a means of transport is met by making millions of bicycles available.

Riding a bicycle has a lot of advantages over driving a car. First, it is a physical exercise to ride a bicycle. In contrast, sitting in the car, one tends to gain weight. Besides, it is much more economical to ride a bike than drive a car. On the one hand, the only fee a bike-rider has to pay is the annual tax. However, the annual fees for a car are costly. On the other hand, a bike neednt be equipped with a parking lot, but a car must. Most important of all, it is beneficial to the environment to ride a bicycle because the bike doesnt consume petrol; it is a pollution-free transport. In contrast, the exhaust released by the car is harmful to the environment.

Since China is a developing country with a large population, bicycles will still be the most popular means of transport in China for quite a long time. Most people will still ride bicycles to go to work or to school. The emperor country of bicycles will remain for at least dozens of years.

After the start of the next would not be in such a lazy, the hard to read the book! Put in the winter vacation of a good time in life, all in my mind, let them become a good memory!

寒假的日子，虽然只有短短的，但是我依然过得很充实，很满意。

过年的时候，大家都欢聚一堂，坐在一起，一起吃团圆饭，桌上放满了一大堆既香又可口的美食，还有一锅热腾腾的火锅，这锅火锅为我们增添了不少节日的气氛呀!吃完团圆饭，我提议说要玩扑克牌，正好大人们正闲着无聊呢，我这个提议一出，大人们纷纷举手赞成。我们就搬了两个小桌子放在客厅，搬完桌椅后就开始玩了，结果我只赢几场而已，大部分都输给了老爸，他们各各都好厉害，我输的好惨呀!

玩完扑克牌后，我们就各自把桌椅拿去放好。然后，大家就作在客厅里看《春节联欢晚会》，有的节目很好笑，让我们大家都捧腹大笑。看到一半，爷爷.奶奶就过来发红包给我和弟弟;我们在拿红包时，也不忘给爷爷奶奶拜年。过了不久，爸爸也来发红包给我们。爸爸发完后，又过不久，姑姑，伯父，伯母也都来发红包。渐渐地，我的“荷包”开始膨胀起来，我和弟弟在一旁手舞足蹈，平日里被压缩成渣的钱包，终于有了“出头之日”

但是在这个节庆里，虽然我们小孩子很开心，但是那些大人们都要忙着出去拜年，也要花很多钱来包红包，真是大失血啊!不过我们可大捞了一把，不过这也得感谢我那新生的小妹妹，多亏了她我才有了这么多的钱可捞。

快乐的时光总是短暂的，我的假期也随着大海付之东流，只留下了一箩筐的作业，这下可以大开“杀戒”了。

就这样，离开学的日子越来越近了，寒假生活的点点滴滴，美好的时光，到这里也该结束了。接下来开学后就不能在这么懒散了，该用功的把书读好!把在寒假生活里所发生的美好时光，全都存进去我的脑海里，让他们变成一个美好的回忆!也把我的寒假生活画上了一个完美的句号!

一个学期已过去，迎来的是一个短暂的寒假。在这个寒假里，我也有了许多新的打算。

在这次期末考试中，我的成绩不是很理想。当知道成绩的时候我伤心地哭了，可是哭也不能解决问题呀，要怪只怪自己平时有些不懂的问题没有及时请教父母或老师。妈妈知道这事后，对我说：“晴晴，这次考坏已经没有办法了， 在这个寒假里你好好补补，并安排好自已的学习计划。”

首先，我要认真完成作业，做到一丝不苟，对于疑难问题，要不耻下问，虚心请教父母，更要改正拖拖拉拉的毛病，做到快又好。

其次，每天要看半个小时以上的课外书，并摘录好词佳句。每天背一首古诗，再写一张钢笔字……要合理安排自己的学习计划。

第三，要积极参加体育锻炼，使自己的身体变得更加强壮、健康。

总之，我要在这个短暂的寒假中努力努力再努力，把自已功课补上去，争取下个学期能取得好成绩。

我一定能行，请相信我吧!

Winter vacation, many happy thing happened, a lot of interesting things happened, many unforgettable things have happened... I today is a thought-provoking thing.

That day, the weather is very cold, snow flied in the sky, spread a thick layer of snow on the ground like a blanket, the whole white world, my mother and I enjoyed very high, ready to go out to play through the snow. Walk to cross the street at the junction, I saw a large group of people in the onlookers, hurried and ran in the past, want to have a look at exactly what happened.

Turned out to be a grandpa in the street selling cabbage. To see him so big of age, still struggling to pick the two baskets of green cabbage to sell, good poor yo! I saw on the cabbage still covered with a layer of white snow! He picked the cabbage, were three uncle know industrial and commercial bureau or the urban management bureau is found, yelling at him, also push and bump, ordered him to leave at once, dont sell food anywhere, it affects the traffic order.

I turned to mother said: "why are they so mean to the old man? Dont they themselves will not old?" Mother didnt answer my question, just let out a sigh, we went away. On the way, Im ripping mad.

"Why cant you give a little love, the in the mind a little more tolerant, more loving? If everyone a little more love, the society will be even more full of warm, isnt it?

寒假里，发生过许多愉快的事，也发生过许多有趣的事，还发生过许多难忘的事……我今天讲述的是一件令人深思的事情。

那天，天气很冷，空中飘着鹅毛大雪，地上像是铺了一层厚厚的雪毯，整个一片雪白的世界，我和妈妈却兴致很高，准备上街去踏雪游玩。走到十字街路口处，我看见有一大群人在围观，就急忙跑过去，想看看究竟是发生了什么事情。

原来是一位老爷爷在街口卖白菜。看他那么大的年纪了，还艰难地挑着两筐绿油油的白菜卖，好可怜哟!我看见白菜上还覆盖着一层白雪呢!他挑着白菜，被三位不知是工商局还是城管局的叔叔发现了，大声吼他，还又推又撞，命令他马上离开，不要随地乱卖菜，这样影响了交通秩序。

我转过身对妈妈说：“他们为什么要对老人这么凶?难道他们自己就不会老?”妈妈没有正面回答我的问题，只是叹了口气，我们就走了。路上，我的心情久久不能平静。

”为什么大家不能都献出一点爱，心里多一些宽容，多一些爱心呢?如果人人都多一些爱心的话，这个社会不是会更加充满温馨吗?

现在，我很苦恼。我买了一本英语书，可是我不知道它的意思。我一点也看不懂。我想，也许我要好好的学习英语。只有这样我才能学会很多知识，才能看懂英语和别人交流。我要对自己说一句：加油！

i was depressed because i couldnt understand an english book after i bought it. i could understand nothing. i thought maybe i should study english hard and only by this could i learn a lot of knowledge and understand english aw well as communicate with others in english. i told myself, ‘just go’.

I have got a happy winter holiday this year. In this year, I haappy day winter holiday. In the first day, I went back to my hometown with my parents. When I got there, I saw my grandparents. Then we had lunch together. At that time, we not only had dilicious food,we also talk about our wonderful life. laughed and sang, it was so happy then.

Tuesday, February 12 is cloudy.

The day before yesterday, my sister bought a present for my brother and sister. Red lanterns and barbie dolls.

Red lantern on the top is golden yellow lace, red and red body before and after writing a golden blessing, below is red, yellow, green three colors of the tassel beautiful! It had two wires and a red heart, and a long, small hand to carry it.

If you switch it on. The red lanterns body will not only emit green and yellow light, but also sing the song "congratulations on your fortune".

My brother and I like the present very much.

SomeHolidays are so much fun that they catch on outside of their culture. The most obvious exampleisprobably Christmas, which is celebrated around the world by people who aren’t even Christian. Similarly, in recent years, the Dragon Boat Festival has moved beyond China to become an international holiday celebrated by people who may know little about the holiday’s origins.

有些节日实在是很有趣，所以在本土文化以外的地方也很受欢迎。最明显的例子可能就是圣诞节，世界各地的人都会庆祝圣诞节，即使是非基督徒。同样，最近几年端午节已经不局限于中国，成为国际性节日，而庆祝的人可能对节日的由来并不太了解。

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of three majorChineseholidays, along with the Spring and Moon Festivals. Of the three, it is possibly the oldest, dating back to the Warring States Period in 227 B.C. The festival commemorates Qu Yuan, a minister in the service of the Chu Emperor. Despairing over corruption at court, Qu threw himself into a river. Townspeople jumped into their boats and tried in vain to save him. Then, hoping to distract hungry fish from his body, the people scattered rice on the water.

端午节与春节和中秋节并列为中国三大节日。这三个节日中，它可能是最古老的一个，可以追溯到公元前227年的战国时代。这个节日是为了纪念楚国的大夫屈原，他因为对朝廷的贪污腐败感到绝望而投河自尽。镇上的人纷纷冲上船去救他，却没有成功。后来大家把米撒到水里，希望把饥饿的鱼群从他的躯体边引开。

Over the years, the story of Qu’s demise transformed into the traditions of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi – a kind of rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. The races have certainly captured the imagination of people from all over the world. Every spring there are nearly 60 dragon boat races held outside of China in cities from Vancouver to Sydney, from Gdańsk, Poland to Cape Town, South Africa. Canada alone has nearly 50 dragon boat teams and Germany has nearly 30.

多年以后，屈原逝世的故事逐渐演变成赛龙舟和吃粽子(一种包在竹叶中的米食)的传统。这些竞赛显然激起了世界各地人们的想像，每年春天有将近60场龙舟赛在中国境外的城市举办，从温哥华到悉尼，从波兰的格但斯克到南非的开普敦。单单字加拿大就有将近50支龙舟队伍，德国则有近30个。

So what is it about the Dragon Boat Festival that appeals to foreigners? “It’s an unusual

sport,” says one racer from Germany. “It’s not like everybody’s doing it. That’s one of the reasons that there’s such great team spirit in a dragon boat team – everybody feels like we’re doing something special.” And what about the zongzi? “Ehhh, they’re not bad, I guess,” he says. “Something of an acquired taste. I just haven’t really acquired it yet.”

那么，为什么端午节赛龙舟会吸引外国人呢?“这是一项不寻常的运动。”一位来自德国的参赛者说，“这并不是所有的人都在从事的运动。这正是龙舟队的团队精神如此高昂的原因之一，每个人都觉得自己在做一件很特别的事。”那么粽子呢?“喔，我觉得它不难吃。”他说，“那是一种需要后天培养的品味。我只是还没培养出来罢了。”

The Dragon Boat Festival ,also called the Duanwu Festival ,is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the

Chinese calendar.People always eat rice dumplings and watch dragon boat races to celebrate it.

The festival is best known for its dragon-boat races,especially in the southern places where there are many rivers and lakes. Ití?s

very popular.

The rice dumpling is made of glutinous rice,meat and so on. You can eat different kinds of rice dumplings.They are very delicious.

And Dragon Boat Festival is for Qu Yuan. He is an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a

river.

Overall, the Dragon Boat Festival is very interesting!
