New Year Party

On New Years Eve，our class had a party。 The atmosphere was good。 It was out of the ordinary from the very begining。 The boy student from one bedroom gave an unusual performance。 We saw a boy named Li Xinmin turn off all the lights in a sudden snap。 Then with three resounding（响亮的） crow of a cock echoing in the hall，the hall was again brightly lit in a snap。

Spring Festival

Chinese New Year starts with the new moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the the full days later. In china,people regard Spring Festival as the most important thing.People studied and worked throughout the year.No matter how far and how busy, they must do their best to go back home.Thats a tradition and now becoming a habit. During this time,transport is extremely busy.Although the way is difficult,it cant reduce the urgent feeling of going home.I cant describe this feeling,only the people that experienced it can understand.Actually,on one hand,people miss their family,and they need to get comfort in the family.On the other hand,getting together is a symbol of blessedness and auspiciousness.People in other country dont have this consciousness that going home is necessary.For example,American could celebrate the Christmas in everywhere they like or with anybody.This diversity is occasioned by different culture between two countries.

On Spring festivals eve,the whole family prepare the dinner.Of course,dumplings is essential.In the

evening,family members always sit at the television and watch Spring Festival Gala.At 0:00,people set off firecrackers and fireworks,at the same time,children pay New Year,s call to old people.The old people give money to the children as a lunar new year gift.Usually,people stay up late or all night.

On lunar New Years Day, the Chinese family eat vegetarian dumplings which imply they will plain and neat in this year. People change their new clothes,this stands for a new beginning.Next,people visit relatives with some gifts.The second day is son-in-laws festival,the husband and married women visit their side of the family.In a word,Chinese attach great importance to Spring Festival.

I am an ordinary girl with soft and smooth hair on her head. Liu Haijian has to pull her hair up like an innocent, gentle and lovely fairy. Round cheeks with delicate facial features with a glib mouth a high nose; a sharp chin, the sides of the head has a pair of ears". There is that I am a happy girl, either at home or at school, parents, classmates, friends and teachers are called me "happy". I feel a great deal of pride and joy for this name.

My character is variable and weird. It is a change, and no one can understand my character (including my parents). If you are not careful with angry tone to contradict me, or foul language to insult me, scold me. Im sure that even a moment ago I was joking with you, but after a moment I will be furious to refute you, then go away in the fly into a rage, not you. But after an hour, I will take the initiative to go and you may, at the time of the bowl, I will put what happened an hour ago like eraser typos as erased and forgotten. If you ask me, Ill say, "cut it!" Trifle, never mind."

Hee! Is my character unpredictable? Its not hard, as long as you know everything about me and get along with me. Its as easy to catch my character as you eat, and find me a close - up girl.

One sunny afternoon, when I was merrily riding home, I heard "Help! Help!".

一个晴朗的午后，当我开心地骑车回家时，我听到（有人喊）“救命！救命！”。

I rode to the riverside and found a boy of about five in the river struggling. I jumped into the water, swam to the boy and dragged him to the river bank. The boy said he was trying to catch a fish near the river bank and carelessly fell into the water. I asked him where his home was and sent him home.

我（赶紧）骑到河边，发现一个大约5岁的男孩在河里挣扎。我（马上）跳进水里，游向男孩，并把他拖到岸边。男孩说他（刚刚）是在河边试着抓鱼，（后来），一不小心就掉进水里了。我要到了他家地址，并送他回家。

"Thank you very much!" The boys parents said, when I left his home. Though I got home late that afternoon, I was very happy.

一当我要离开他们家的时候，那个男孩的父母说：“非常谢谢你！”尽管在那个下午，我回家晚了，但我还是很开心的。

上午，同学们都穿着血红色的班服来到教室，个个都精神抖擞脸上露着神气的笑容，大家都想为班级争光，加紧练习准备在比赛中大显身手，艺术节英语作文。一转眼之间，就到了中午，大家都已迫不及待了，胡乱地吃了几口饭，便回到教室里去了，有的同学在想像着当时的场面，有的在教室里疯玩，还有的在高歌；“我们是共产主义接班人……”突然，李壵坷闯进来喊：“蒋老师来了！”同学们都回到座位上安静地做作业。蒋老师走进教室，说：“把手中的东西放在一边，我们准备化妆了！”“啊！”边柯尖叫起来，兴奋的心情一下子沉重起来，突然边柯像脱缰的野马似的逃离出教室，东躲西藏的。大家都化好了妆，陆续地进入了场地，首先，主持人陈蔚然用流利的英语说了报幕词。301班唱队歌了，他们那嘹亮的歌声传进我们的耳朵里，我们不比你们差呢！我在心里嘀咕着。轮到我们班了！迈着整齐的步伐上了台，合着音乐，指挥员汪婷打起了节拍，响亮的歌声燃起：“我们是共产主义接班人，继承……”结束后，指挥员向评委，观众鞠了一躬，我们便下了台。我和其他七位唱英文歌的同学来到后场换衣服。301班的英文歌结束后，紧接着我们上了台唱英文歌《I’m a Littlesnman》了，跟着音乐，穿着漂亮的公主裙，做着优着的动作，唱着动听的歌曲：“I’m Little teaput，short and stout……”我们大家都感到自豪与骄傲。

这次英语文艺术节圆满结束，但动听的歌声仍在我脑海里飘荡。

Dear Miss Brown,

I am writing to express my sincere thanks to you for caring me in the last

two years. During the days of being your student, I learn a lot. Firstly, your

serious attitude towards teaching and our students moves me too much. You

inspire and push me to work harder and harder. Secondly, I fall in love with

English under the influence of you. As a student of science and engineering,

I’ve been thinking that English does no good to me, but you help me to find the

fabulous glamour of English that leads me to know a totally different world and

develop a different way of thinking. Finally, your continuous encouragement

supports me a lot when I meet challenges or difficulties. You said that

everything to the last will certainly become a good thing, if it is not, not yet

to the last. Every time, remembering your words, I am so inspired to keep

going.

Above all, I want to say thank you again and please accept my sincere

appreciation. Best wishes for you.

最后，请允许我再次向您表达我的感谢，接受我真诚的谢意。献上最美好的祝福。

I had a fun and special holiday。On Monday，I did my homework and read some interesting story－books。Tuesday morning，I went to a big nice supermarket。I bought a lot of food。Then I ate them。Oh，they were yummy！In the afternoon，I played ping－pong with my father。 I won the match。I was so happy。Wednesday morning，I played chess with my mother。My mother won the game。But I was not sad。Because it was only a game。We played，we had fun。Wednesday evening，I watched TV with my parents。My parents are always busy。They have no time to play with me。But that night we were very close，very happy！

I love this special holiday！

[以假期为主题的英语作文以及中文翻译

Waking up on New Year， everybody dresses up。 First they extend greetings to their parents。 Then each child will get money as a New Year gift， wrapped up in red paper。 People in northern China will eat jiaozi， or dumplings， for breakfast， as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new"。 Also， the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot from ancient China。 So people eat them and wish for money and treasure。

Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour) on this occasion， because as a homophone， niangao means "higher and higher， one year after another。" The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good time for relatives， friends， and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange greetings， gifts and chat leisurely。

China has 56 ethnic groups。 Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival almost the same day as the Han people， and they have different customs。

“失火了！失火了！”一声声叫喊吵醒了我。我揉着蒙眬的睡眼向窗外一看，呀，对面王阿姨家的小平房烧着了！那熊熊大火像恶魔一样吞噬着平房，滚滚浓烟从中涌出来。大火越来越猛，可却没有出来。我们都为王阿姨及她的家人捏了把汗。

"Fire!

Theres a fire! " A shout woke me up. I rubbed Mengs sleeping eyes and looked

out of the window. Ah, the small bungalow opposite Aunt Wangs house was

burning! The blaze devoured the bungalow like a demon, and smoke poured out of

it. The fire grew fiercer and fiercer, but it didnt come out. We all sweat for

Aunt Wang and her family.

在众人都在担忧时，王阿姨和她的家人却平安无事地逃了出来。原来，当大火来袭时，王阿姨没有惊慌失措，而是镇定地把家中的被子、棉衣全用水浸湿，裹在身上，并用湿毛巾捂住口、鼻，等火势稍小时逃了出来。没一会儿，消防员来了，他们立即扑灭了大火。

When

everyone was worried, Aunt Wang and her family escaped peacefully. It turned out

that when the fire hit, Aunt Wang did not panic, but calmly soaked the quilt and

cotton padded clothes in her home with water, wrapped them around her body,

covered her mouth and nose with a wet towel, and escaped a little later. After a

while, the firemen came, and they put out the fire immediately.

这次起火的原因，就是家里的易燃物品被烧着了，虽然是小物品，但是烧着了火势可不小哇！

The

reason for the fire is that the inflammables in the house are burned. Although

its small, the fire is not small!

我们身边处处都会有安全隐患，同学们，我们要把消防安全牢记心中！

There

will be hidden dangers around us. Students, we should keep fire safety in

mind!

will christmas replace the spring festival?

christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in china. christmas cards become popular with students. people hold christmas parties and exchange christmas girts. a lot or tv and radio programs about christmas are on. meanwhile the spring festival is less appealing (有吸引力的)to youngsters. thus some people wonder whether christmas will replace the spring festival.

this worry is fairly unnecessary. why ? one reason lies that christmas only affects christians，college students and joint-venture (合资企业)workers. another reason is that christmas is mostly celebrated in cities. few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic(带有异国情调的) festival. by contrast，the spring festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family.

i think，it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the west，a lot of western holidays have been gradually introduced into china. for us chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals. for centuries chinese have observed this traditional holiday to welcome the beginning of a new year. and we will treasure the spring festival forever.

sweat.Seeing this, people understood what was happening.They all laughed at me

any.

Ji Anlived at the time of Emperor Wudi of the Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D.24). He was respected for being upright and just and for daring to speak the truth. He did not bother about amall matters in personal behaviour and in being an official. He was particular about actual effects and ,although he did not cause a stir ,he could keep the prefecture he governed in perfect order. Because of this. the imperial court transferred him to the central government from being the perfect of the Donghai Prefecture to being a commander in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the local officals.

Once,Emperor Wudi said that he would implement the policy of benevolence and justice of Confucianism and would do good turns to the people.Emperor Wudi Had hardly finished his remards when Ji An said that there was no need for the emperor to say so.Why should the emperor bother,Ji An said, about pretending to implement the policy of benevolence and justice since he was so greedy and avaricious within himself? This choked the emperor off. The emperor suddenly Changed his countenance and declared the meeting over. All the civilian and military officers at court were breathless with anxiety for fear that Ji An might bring disaster upon himself because of this. After returning, Emperor Wudi said to the people around him that Ji An was a little too rude and too straightforward.

For this reason ,Ji An was never promoted again. When he was the commander in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the local officials, both Gongsun Hong and Zhang Tang were low -ranking lfficials of little importance. Later ,they were promoted continuously. Gongsun Hong became the prime minister and Zhang Tang became the imperial censor. However, JiAns post remained thesame. One day, Ji An said to Emperor Wudi that the way the emperor used his ministers was just like piling up firewood, which meant that the latecomers surpassed the old-timers. Of course, Emperor Wudi could see that Ji An was complaining. So,turning to his ministers, Emperor Wudi said, "It is true that no one can stop learning.You see, Ji An is making more and more indiscreet remarks."

This story comes from The Historical Records. Later generations use the set phrase "the latecomers surpass the old-timers " to indicate that successors can cxcel the predecessors, which is quite different from the original idea when Ji An said that the latecomers surpassed the old-timers.

汲黯是西汉武帝时代人，以刚直正义、敢讲真话而受人尊重。他为人和做官都不拘小节，讲求实效。虽然表面上不那么轰轰烈烈，却能把一个郡治理得井井有条，因此，朝廷把他从东海太守调到朝廷当主爵都尉——一种主管地方吏任免的官职。

有一次，汉武帝说要实行儒家的仁义之政，为老百姓办好事了。没等皇帝把话说完，汲黯就说：“陛下内心里那么贪婪多欲，表面上却要装得实行仁政，这是何苦呢？”一句话把皇帝噎了回去。汉武帝登时脸色大变，宣布罢朝，满朝文武都为汲黯捏着一把汗，担心他会因此招来大祸。武帝回到宫里以后，对身边的人说，汲黯这个人也未免太粗太直了。

从此以后，汲黯的官职再也没有提升。他当主爵都尉的时候，公孙弘、张汤都还是不起眼的小官，后来，他们一个劲儿住上升，公孙弘当上了丞相，张汤做上了御史大夫，可他汲黯还蹲在原地没动窝。有一天，汲黯对武帝说，陛下使用群臣，跟码劈柴一样，是“后来者居上”啊！汉武帝当然听得出这是发牢骚。于是，转脸对臣下们说：“人真是不能不学习啊！你们听汲黯说话，越来越离谱了！”

故事出自《史记汲郑列传》。成语“后来居上”，往往指后起的可以胜过先前的。和汲黯说这话的原意，大不相同。
