端午节的高一英语(通用20篇)

中国文化博大精深，民间有着许许多多传统风俗，如：清明节、元宵节、重阳节、中秋节…在这么多的传统风俗中，我最喜欢五月初五的端午节。

我为什么这么喜欢端午节呢?就让我先讲讲端午节的由来吧!端午节是为了纪念我国爱国诗人屈原。据《史记》记载，屈原是楚怀王的大臣，因受到楚怀王重用，而被小人嫉妒，在楚怀王面前毁谤屈原，屈原渐渐不得重用，最后甚至将屈原流放，屈原满怀悲愤，写下了绝笔作《怀沙》后，投江自尽。而端午节这个节日，就是为了表达楚国人民对屈原的爱戴之情，我也很尊敬屈原这就是我喜欢端午节的原因。

说到端午节的主要习俗，自然是赛龙舟啦!在五月初五这一天，人们都要划龙舟，寓意为：用划龙舟驱散江中的鱼，追赶屈原，以寄托自己的哀思。

还记得去年端午节，我们一家起了个大早，这是阳光明媚的一天，我们怀着期待的心情出发去郊外的一座山上，寻找端午节必备的一种植物。正值初夏，真可谓是“迟日江山丽，春风花草香”，初夏的山中，山花烂漫，花草清香。站在这天然氧吧中让人心旷神怡。柳暗花明又一村，在山上的一个拐角处，我们找到了我们这次目标——艾草。艾草生长在土埂上，从上到下都是细细的一条，它们簇拥在一起，微风吹过时可以看到叶子的正面是绿色的，反面看起来像白白的绒毛，我们高兴地扑向了它，把它裁了下来，立刻飘来一股淡淡的清香，我们高高兴兴地回家去，把艾草挂在了家门口。

回家后，我们立刻开始制作端午节最期盼的食物——粽子。大家都忙碌起来，有的泡粽叶、有的淘糯米、有的洗花生，有的剥红枣，忙得不亦乐乎。包粽子时先把粽叶折成漏斗形，然后再把糯米倒入再加上一些红枣、花生点缀，然后捆绑起来就完工了，没一会儿就把所有的粽子都包好了，看着一排排的粽子就像是一块块的绿宝石。这时候就可以下锅煮了，当水沸腾时，屋里弥漫着粽叶的清香，糯米的米香。让我们很期待粽子能马上出锅。

这就是我喜爱的端午节!

The Person I Admire

The person I admire is my mum. She is an English teacher. She is very popular among the students because she spends lots of time on her lessons and has a good sense of humor. Students all enjoy her class.

我敬佩的人是我的妈妈。她是一位英语老师。她很受学生的欢迎，因为她花了很多时间在功课上，而且很幽默。学生都很喜欢她的课。

My mum is not only a good teacher, but also a great mother. She is patient with me and always smiling while talking. My mum teaches me how to think independently and helps me to build up my confidence. When I have some difficulties in my studies, it is my mum who encourages me to work until I solve the problem. When I’m feeling sad or bad, it is also my mum who looks after me with care.

我的妈妈不仅是一位好老师，也是一位伟大的母亲。她对我很有耐心，说话时总是面带微笑。我妈妈教我如何独立思考，帮助我建立我的信心。当我在学习上有困难的，这是我妈妈鼓励我直到我解决问题。当我感到悲伤或糟糕的，也是妈妈照顾我。

I remember when I caught a fever at midnight last year, my mum took me to the hospital as fast as she could. When we got home after my injection, it was about 5 o’clock in the early morning. My mum only slept 2 hours because she had to wake up at 7 o’clock to prepare breakfast for me, and then she went to work. She must be very tired that day.

我记得当我去年在半夜发高烧，妈妈以最快的速度带我去医院。当我打完针回到家时，已经差不多凌晨五点。妈妈只睡了2个小时，因为她不得不在七点起床为我准备早餐，然后她去工作。她那天一定很累。

My mum is not very beautiful, but I admire her.

我的妈妈是不是很漂亮，但我敬佩她。

两千多年前，伟大的爱国诗人屈原在汨罗江畔的天空中叹息一声，纵身投入洪流。两千多年后，五月初五成为传统节日，端午节——。人们包饺子、划龙舟、煮鸡蛋，以各种方式纪念这位伟大的爱国诗人。

又一年是端午节。我很想体验一下这种氛围，就让奶奶教我做粽子。

我盯着奶奶做粽子的方式。不知怎么的，手忍不住痒，想做粽子。征得奶奶同意，我开始了“包粽子行动”!

我像奶奶一样包粽子。一开始我以为是小事一桩，但麻烦来了;因为我做粽子的时候放了太多糯米，绑了一串糯米就从上面出来了，唉，第一个粽子以失败告终。

俗话说“世上无难事，只怕有心人!”我没有灰心。我又把竹叶捡起来，重新包好。这次奶奶教了我一些要领。这次老天保佑我，终于包了一个粽子，但是和奶奶比起来，我的老天!多么不同的世界!奶奶的粽子像个英姿飒爽的大人，而我的粽子像个无精打采的小学生。可怜，第二个粽子又失败了。

我站了起来，但还是没有灰心。我把竹叶捡起来，弯成圆锥形，然后放入适量糯米，压牢，把竹叶盖下去，刚好把糯米盖在里面，最后用线捆紧。这样就包了一个粽子。按照这个方法，我连续打包了几包，终于掌握了要领。包装越多越好。

把包好的粽子放在锅里，用大火煮。大约一个小时后，用文火煮30分钟。

在煮粽子的过程中，我总是渴望揭开盖子，检查情况。因为粽子的香味从锅里飘出来，让我口水直流。

等待的时间总是很长。当我看到热气腾腾的粽子终于从锅里“解放”出来时，我高兴得手舞足蹈。放在碗里，用筷子剥开，就可以看到里面金黄柔软的“粽子肉”。咬了一口，很好吃，差点咬掉筷子。

今年端午节，我学会了做粽子，尝到了自己劳动的果实，不是一般的甜。

"Try and try until you succeed." This saying shows the importance of perseverance. I have found through experience that only through hard work can we succeed.Many people have failed in their work or studies, precisely because they had no perseverance. Life, in general, as in many things we do, has never been easy. No one promised us what it would be.

So, if we want to succeed in life, we must be brave to win. This is the standard that differentiates people who succeed in life and those who dont.

【作文示范】About Myself

My name is Li Hua. I was born in the city of Dalian, Liaoning Province. I studied in Guangming Primary School from 1984 to 1990. Then I entered NO.6 Middle School where I mainly learned the subjects like Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry and computer. I have been very fond of and good at English and computer ever since. Therefore I placed first in the school computer competition last year. My hobbies include swimming in summer, skating in winter as well as collecting stamps and listening to popular music in my spare time.

古代有一个爱国大诗人，名叫屈原。因受奸人挑拨，被皇上驱逐，但他仍然爱自己的国家，最后投江自尽。为了纪念屈原，人们就将他投江的那一天，也就是每年的农历五月初五定为“端午节”，于是，这个节日就传了下来，只到今天。

端午节，是我国的传统节日之一。可是随着岁月的流逝，许多地方已渐渐淡化了这个节日，但山东这一带的人却还对这个节日充满热情，很注重这个传统节日。

早上，我一醒来，就发现自己的手腕上有一根用几种不同颜色的线拧成的一小段绳，我问妈妈：“这种绳叫什么?为什么要这样?”妈妈耐心的回答了我的问题：“这叫“五彩丝“，也叫“花绳”。传说可避除兵鬼、不染病瘟，所以，每到端午节，只要是小孩子，不分大小，手上都会系一根这样五彩的绳。”“哦”我答应着，但还是不想戴它，因为我是个贪玩的孩子，这东西在手上还蛮别扭的。

“端午节”最重要的习俗当然是吃粽子。上午，我随爸爸妈妈来到了外婆家帮忙包粽子，而外婆呢?早就准备好了箬叶、糯米和丝线。粽子一般用糯米做成。把糯米还有包粽子的竹叶泡在盆里一天一夜。再用叶子把粽子包成三角形，每里面放上一个大枣，为的是让粽子的味道更香。一家人围坐在一起，一边包粽子，一边聊天。我看着外婆那娴熟的动作，心里痒痒的。于是，我学着外婆的样子，拿起一片箬叶，将它折成圆锥体，放入米，再把多出来的箬叶折过来，盖住米粒，结果这些米粒就像是跟我过不去，不听话地跑了出来。我连忙又拿了一片箬叶把它们裹住，可是他们“米多势重”，我只好向“大将军”外婆求助，外婆一来，这个”小兵”就没招了。不一会儿，我们就包好了一盆粽子。

要煮粽子了!外婆先将锅里倒上水，然后将粽子一个个的放进锅中，用慢火煮一个下午。煮好后，一打开锅盖，香味就充满了整个屋子。一口咬下去，那甜甜的糯米，不仅甜在口里，还甜到了心里!让人忍不住要多吃几个。

中华民俗源远流长，端午节，是多么热闹，多么快乐，我们要将这传统习俗一直保留下去。直到永远，永远……

crazy about those basketball stars ever since I was little.

Basketball requires speed, height and skills. I run, jump, switch, and try to hit! All parts of my body are exercised in this sport. I feel that I’m like wind flying in the playground for my goal, which makes me feel so GREat!

Basketball needs quick reaction and decision. When chance comes, it may disappear in the next second. I should keep an eye watching as an eagle, decide and judge quickly as a leopard, and run for it as a wolf.

Further more, basketball is a sports more than just exercising, It needs team work. No one can play himself. A team should work together. So I learn to cooperate with others in this game. I should understand what my teammate doing and what he needs me to do for him. On the other side, I should learn to show my teammate what I need. At the same time, I need to keep an eye on the whole game, knowing how is the situation of our team and how is the other team. It involved more cooperation and strategy.

I played basketball more for about 5 years now. I make many good friends throught this sports. It is proud to win honor for my team and my school. Also I enjoy all games with my friends. Basketball will be my best friends in the future and my best memory about school life

我最喜欢的运动是篮球。在电视看起来太酷了,我喜欢那些篮球明星自从我小的时候。

篮球需要速度、高度和技能。我跑、跳开关,并试图打击!我的身体所有部分在这项运动锻炼。我觉得我就像风飞在操场上为我的目标,这让我感觉太好了!

篮球需要快速反应和决策。当机会来临的时候,它可能消失在下一秒。我应该留意看如鹰,决定和判断迅速豹,并运行它作为狼。

此外,篮球不仅仅是一种体育运动,它需要团队合作。没有人能玩的。一个团队应该一起工作。所以我在这个游戏中学会与他人合作。我应该了解我的队友做什么,他需要我为他做的。另一方面,我应该学会展示我的队友我所需要的东西。与此同时,我需要关注整个游戏,知道是我们队的情况以及其他团队。它涉及更多的合作和战略。

我打篮球大约5年了。我很多好朋友到这个运动。它是骄傲的为我的团队和我的学校赢得荣誉。我也喜欢所有的游戏与我的朋友。篮球在未来将是我最好的朋友和我最好的记忆关于学校生活.

Today, my mother and I went to Xiaohe Gou, and we had fun.

When we got there, we saw that the fish pond in Xiaohe ditch was covered with ice. I want to go down to play on the ice, so I decided to try the ice thickness first. Because there were no thick branches on the riverside, so I lifted a big stone and threw it all in to the ice. There was a huge hole in the ice, and the shadow of a small fish was hidden below. Fortunately, I didnt go down easily, otherwise...

We continue to move forward. Those fish ponds show their true colors: I have made the "mask people" one by one.

A small stream blocked our way further. I looked at what could be used without wood boards around. Because the water is very shallow, I move a piece of big stone, three lower five in addition to two set up a stone bridge, my mother and my mother passed the brook, and also helped people to pass a bridge.

After crossing the bridge, we began to move forward. We saw a vacant area in front of us, and it was scraped evenly by bulldozers. Mother said that it might have been a natural ancient granary. The center of the loess slope is a circular open space, which is transformed into a natural granary. Why do I think so good things should be leveled and destroyed? I ask mother, mother said that this is the conflict between modern civilization and ancient history, and now people have destroyed the historical relics left by their predecessors for their own existence. If I want to live in the air, I will not destroy so many precious and rare historical sites.

Im very happy to go out today. At the same time, I realized the importance of life to human beings, and realized that the development and construction of society could damage the civilization of ancient society. I think life is very important, but ancient civilization is also important. We should coordinate the relationship between the development of modern civilization and the preservation of ancient civilization.

Qianshan is a new economic zone with a population of more than three hundred thousand. Before the reform and opening up, Qianshan was only a small fishing-dominated village. There was no industry developing here and there were only a couple of schools. However, with the reform and opening up, everything has greatly changed. From then on, many foreign investors invest in here, which promotes rapid economic growth. Many large factories and a large port have been built. The port connects with many cities at home and abroad. In addition, there is train station and airport. They contribute a well-developed transportation system. Education has been greatly developed and the first university has been built here. There has been three thousand students graduated from this university. I am sure that Qianshan will be more international in the near future.

Get up this morning, our family is happy New Year to each other.I finished

the accumulation, I went out to play to play.One out of the door, I saw

thousands of sunshine like a sword, Pierce the atmosphere, shine on the earth, I

think maybe because today is New Years day, the sky grandpa make the weather is

sunny today.Look at the sky, blue, bright and clean, like a transparent mirror

thick, white clouds, the clouds like cotton, like waves, hung on the day side,

compose the day over there, the sky is decorated picturesque.Look ahead, both

sides stood door lifelike stone lions, a big mouth, staring at two pair of big

eyes, power and grandeur, like two soldiers on guard, they are one male, one

female, male feet standing on a ball, like to play there, female foot stepped on

a small lion, like to look after their children there.Evening, mother asked me

to take a bath, I cant help but ask: "why the Chinese New Year will take a

shower?"Mother said: "New Years day to wash them clean, can have a good year,

next year there will be a good one million."Finished washing bath, I looked out

of the window, multicolored fireworks straight up into the sky, blossom in mid

air, like a peacock, such as split again.A moment is in red, like peach apricot

flowers rained, for a while, and all over the sky, golden like the harvest rice

is scattered all over the sky.

Finished watching the fireworks, I fell asleep.

A bird in a cage, the free space is infinite, they like the frog in well spend in narrow space, not their own free life.

Each time I see them, they think, feel with the other.

Every day to stay in his own study, although the book is my partner, can let I dare not to mind empty, but sometimes standing to the window and saw the children of the same age with me on the ground to play, there is sweet smile on her face, in the heart how envy.

So, every day I see it, and have a headache, how much I yearn for freedom, I hate being at home, live a life they want, how perfect it is!!!

"The birds have belong to own sky, fish have belong to own lake, the grass has belongs to own the land, the flowers have their own sunshine, why cant I have my own life?" My time of day, but god is one of my speaker, what can he reach to me?

Freedom, how much I yearn for freedom, if one day, I walked alone in the wilderness of fragrant, let the wind blowing my hair, as the grass on my feet, as the sun on my face, I will always be walking without the light of day, when one day, I went to the sea to the sea to speak my mind, pick up a conch tell my secret about it, have a dream that one day someone picked up it, slowly to get the ears to listen to tell my story, unknowingly going the rounds and mom, dad, you may hear this story? If I understand my heart, give me a piece of my own perfect life, give me that you want freedom?

Have you heard the story?

"Sometimes, I also want to be free!" I loudly Shouting, bouts of echo in my ears. How I hope to have a free world!

关在鸟笼里的小鸟，自由的空间是无限的，它们就如井底之蛙，整天待在狭小的空间里，得不到属于自己的自由生活。

每每看到他们，便想到自己，便感到同命相怜。

每天待在自己的书房中，虽说书是我的伴侣，可以让我不敢到心中的空虚，但有时站到窗前，看见与我同龄的孩子在空地上玩耍，脸上露出甜美的微笑，心中别提有多羡慕了。

每天如此，我便看到书就心烦，头痛，我是多么渴望得到自由，我讨厌被人拘束，过自己想要的生活，该是多么完美呀!

“鸟儿有属于自己的天空，鱼儿有有属于自己的湖泊，草儿有属于自己的土地，花儿有属于自己的阳光，我为什么就不能有属于自己的生活呢?”我对天长叹，但老天只是我的一个诉说者，他又能为我达到什么呢?

自由，我是多么渴望得到自由，若有一天，我独自漫步在花香弥漫的旷野上，任风儿吹拂我的头发，任草儿在我的脚上摆动，任阳光照射在我的脸上，我始终是漫无天日地走着，当某年某日的时候我来到大海边，对着大海说出我的心事，捡起一个海螺对着它说出我的秘密，梦想有一天有人捡起它，慢慢地拿到耳畔倾听着我那诉说的故事，不知不觉地一传十，十传百，妈妈，爸爸，你们也会听到这个故事吗?是不是明白了我的心事，给我一片属于我自己的完美生活，给我那想要的自由?

你们听到了那个故事吗?

“有时，我也想要自由!”我大声地呐喊着，一阵阵的回音传入我的耳畔。我是多么希望有着自由的世界啊!

端午节，也叫端阳节，是中国的一个传统节日，在农历五月初五。这个节日始于中国的春秋战国时期，已经有很多年的历史了。端午节有许多古老的习俗和传说，每一个习俗都是如此温暖和难忘。真正让我印象深刻的是“纪念楚国大夫屈原”的故事。据说当时屈原被抛入河中后，当地人听到这个消息，立即划船打捞。他们一路划到洞庭湖，再也没有看到屈原的尸体。

那是一个雨天，湖上的船只聚集在岸边的亭子旁边。场面壮观。当人们得知是为了打捞贤臣屈原博士时，又冒雨外出，冲进了茫茫洞庭湖。为了悼念，人们在河上划船，后来逐渐演变成龙舟比赛。人们怕河里的鱼吃了屈原的尸体，就回家拿来饭团放到河里喂鱼。后来，每年五月初五，都有赛龙舟、吃粽子、喝雄黄酒的习俗，以纪念爱国诗人屈原。

家乡的端午节，家家户户都要一大早插艾叶。艾叶是一种常见的植物，生长在野生的田野里，毫不在意，但它郁郁葱葱，生机勃勃，很容易让人想起夏天的野秋菊花。太阳升起前，人们把前一天晚上收集的艾叶放在门口，挂在窗前。且不说可以去瘟疫辟邪，润肺的甜香就像穿越田野的乡风，让老人和孩子都很开心，恋爱中的年轻人也沉醉其中，靠着窗户舍不得离开。

记得小时候在老家，一般端午节前两天就开始包粽子。每年端午节前，河岸两岸到处都是提着小篮子摘粽子叶子的人。在那个季节，在河岸上，有树、绿色植物和许多习俗。收藏宗叶的人们工作着，欣赏着大自然的美景。收集的粽子叶要先在锅里煮，然后用水浸泡，最后一个一个洗。奶奶在洗粽子叶子的时候，已经泡过糯米和红豆了。泡好的米放在一个大盆里，盆旁边放一把木椅，捆好的草就挂在上面，这样就可以挂裹好的粽子了。

奶奶爱端午节，大概是因为这个时候她总能展现自己的才华吧。我迫不及待地想看我奶奶做粽子。我躺在一边看了一下午。看到外婆的皱纹里溢满蜂蜜，我偶尔会偷偷抓几颗蜜枣放进嘴里。我很高兴摘下我的脸颊，用力咀嚼。不知道他们有多甜!

我家乡的端午节是如此充满怀旧和亲情。现在是端午节，我想起了我家乡的艾叶和我奶奶做的粽子。

五月五日是端阳。当艾条插入时，门里充满了香。吃粽子和黄武。龙舟快乐地下水。端午节在每年的五月五日。我的家乡——杭州，那里的端午节有着不同的风味。

端午节就要到了。每个家庭的门上都挂着一株艾草。许多孩子带着一些精致可爱的香包。茵陈大多用红线拴在门上，可以驱走蚊子，保护健康。不同的是，香包有不同的风格和形状。它们色彩鲜艳、美丽，可以挂在身上驱邪。

一、二、一、二这是端午节南方一项非常热闹的活动——龙舟竞赛。杭州西溪湿地每年都举办端午节。这是一项令人兴奋的活动。当我还是个孩子的时候，我去了这个活动的现场，看到了许多大的领先的船只，充满了多彩的小彩旗。身穿白色、黄色和红色衣服的壮汉拿着泥浆，随着鼓声的节奏划动。我很害怕。那时，我叔叔正在一艘红色的龙舟上用力划船。突然，人群爆发出一阵笑声。怎么了?原来，我叔叔的龙舟给了我们一个壮观的翻滚。船上所有强壮的人都下水了，变成了落汤鸡。我只是害怕，突然大笑起来。到目前为止，赛龙舟仍然是我最喜欢的活动。

当然，在美食的世界里，我们怎么能在端午节少吃点东西呢?黄武和粽子是端午节不可缺少的。但是对我来说，粽子味道更好。我们吃两种形状的粽子:三角形粽子和四角粽子。红棕色看起来很吸引人。粽子的味道很香。肥瘦的猪肉和美味的肉汁吸收了每一粒糯米。一口咬下去。它既美味又温暖。它柔软而精致。软糯的味道是无穷无尽的。在古代，人们把粽子扔到河里是为了不让鱼吃屈原，屈原因为爱国而投河自尽。现在，粽子已经成为中华民族的传统节日食品，并广泛传播。每次我在家煮粽子，整个房子都散发着香味。我忍不住又吃了一次。每一口都充满了油。

在端午节，人们会闻到粽子、龙舟和屈原的味道。

A Chinese holiday is gaining worldwide popularity

Some holidays are so much fun that they catch on outside of their culture. The most obvious example is probably Christmas, which is celebrated around the world by people who arent 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 holidays origins.

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of three major Chinese holidays, 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.

Over the years, the story of Qus 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.

So what is it about the Dragon Boat Festival that appeals to foreigners? “Its an unusual sport,” says one racer from Germany. “Its not like everybodys doing it. Thats one of the reasons that theres such great team spirit in a dragon boat team – everybody feels like were doing something special.” And what about the zongzi? “Ehhh, theyre not bad, I guess,” he says. “Something of an acquired taste. I just havent really acquired it yet.”

The Great Wall of China, also known in China as the Great Wall of 10,000, is an ancient Chinese fortification built from the end of the 14th century until the beginning of the 17th century, during the Ming Dynasty, in order to protect China from raids by the Mongols and Turkic tribes. It was preceded by several walls built since the 3rd century BC against the raids of nomadic tribes coming from areas now in modern day Mongolia and Manchuria.The Wall stretches over a formidable 6,350 km (3,946 miles), from Shanhai Pass on the Bohai Gulf in the east, at the limit between China proper and Manchuria, to Lop Nur in the southeastern portion of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

中国的长城，在中国也被称为长城的10000，是中国古代的一个设防建造的第十四世纪末直到第十七世纪初，在明代，为了由蒙古人和突厥部落保护中国免受袭击。这是之前几个墙自公元前第三世纪的游牧部落来自地区现在的蒙古和满洲里的突袭建。壁延伸超过一个艰巨的6350公里(3946英里)，从东部渤海湾关山海，在中国和满洲里之间的界限，以罗布泊在新疆维吾尔族自治区东南部的部分。

The first major wall was built during the reign of the First Emperor, the main emperor of the short-lived Qin dynasty. This wall was not constructed as a single endeavor, but rather was created by the joining of several regional walls built by the Warring States. It was located much further north than the current Great Wall, and very little remains of it. A defensive wall on the northern border was built and maintained by several dynasties at different times in Chinese history. The Great Wall that can still be seen today was built during the Ming Dynasty, on a much larger scale and with longer lasting materials (solid stone used for the sides and the top of the Wall) than any wall that had been built before. The primary purpose of the wall was not to keep out people, who could scale the wall, but to insure that semi-nomadic people on the outside of the wall could not cross with their horses or return easily with stolen property.

As a child, I am so luck. I don’t need to worry about food. I always have enough delicious food, live in a big house, and have beautiful clothes to dress. I am so happy that I have no idea to treasure all these things. I am a kind of particular about food. I often eat a little for one dish and the throw it away, because I have many choices. I will be full after eating several dishes. But one day, I watch a piece of news on TV. It is about some Africa children who are suffering starvation. They are so poor. They are not only having no food to eat but also having little water to drink. A bowl of rice is very rare for them. Seeing their longing eyes, I feel guilty. I am regret about wasting food before. How can I waste so much rare food? From now on, I will try my best to save food, to do something for them.

Today is Dragon Boat Festival. My mother let me watch the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival from the computer. In fact, it was a memorial to Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was a patriot. He wanted to make his country strong and often give advice to the king, but the king did not like to listen and he drove him out of the country.

Once the Qin state came to the state of Chu, the state of Chu was quickly defeated, the country was soon lost, and Qu Yuan was more sad. In the early May of this year, five, he moved a big stone and threw himself into the river.
