Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival is really over. On this day, people watch

lanterns, set off fireworks and eat yuanxiao or tangyuan. I like watching

lanterns and appreciating lanterns best on the Lantern Festival.

When I came to the street, I saw that the street lamps were full of

lanterns, 16 street lamps in a group, 8 on one side. We walked to the bridge,

and the lantern "door" was also set up on the bridge. There are four big

lanterns in the first row of the "door", which say "congratulations on the new

year"; 10 lanterns in Row 2; There are 16 in a row below; Until the penultimate

row, there are 10 more; There are also four in the last row, with four big

characters on it, which are "Happy New Year".

lanterns on each small lattice and each marble seat, which are arc-shaped, and a

正月十五闹元宵，在元宵节这一天，春节就算是真正地过完了。在这一天，人们要观灯，放烟花，吃元宵或汤圆。我，最喜欢在元宵节看花灯，赏灯了。

来到大街上，只见大街路灯上都挂满了灯笼，16个路灯为一组，一边8个。我们走走走，走到桥上，桥上也支起了灯笼“门”。“门”的第一排有4个大灯笼，上面写着“恭贺新春”;第2排10个灯笼;下面就16个一排;直到倒数第2排，又是10个;最后排也是4个，上面也有4个大字，为“新春快乐”。

再看桥中心的小广场的休息长廊，一共有10个大理石座椅，大理石座椅上方有4个大灯笼，大灯笼也是10组。平均每个小格格，也是每个大理石座椅上都有4个大灯笼，呈弧形，最侧边还挂着一个大灯笼。

好了，让我们再去其它地方看看吧!

元宵·赏灯上

到了大广场中间，只见一个大灯笼，大概是我的10倍，大灯笼上边挂9个小灯笼。大灯笼中间有一头麒麟，麒麟代表祥瑞，而麒麟两侧刚分别有一只仙鹤守护。仙鹤旁边是一对小兔，小兔手中抱着一个金元宝，小兔侧边还是一对仙鹤。大主体后边则还有一些礼品，炮竹，对联福字等。其实，这是一辆花车!它的主题是“玉兔送福”。

元宵·赏灯下

别只顾看中心的，我们还有一些小兔在草坪上愉快地玩耍呢!

草坪中心有一对兔子，兔爷爷戴着一副小眼镜，向大家“恭喜恭喜”，而兔奶奶却提着一个果篮，可能在发给小兔们吧!瞧!兔奶奶旁边有两只小兔，一只小男兔一只小女兔，小女兔手拿一个苹果，哦，这是兔奶奶给她的吧!小男兔则一边笑，一边拿着灯笼想去看看元宵节到底怎样热闹呢!而兔爷爷身旁有三只小兔，两只小女兔，一只小男兔。看!兔奶奶也给了那小女兔苹果，她正开心地笑呢!另一只小女兔则坐在她最爱吃的大蘑菇上戴着大红蝴蝶结，笑嘻嘻地想说些什么。那只调皮的小男兔手拿一串鞭炮，也不怕把自己给炸喽!胆子真够大呀!

旁边还有一些小兔子我就不再一一介绍了，花灯多极了，下次有空我再带你们去亲眼看一看!

Mother’s love wins people’s praises for its selflessness. In fact, father’s love is as great as that. They bury their love in the deep bottom of their hearts and will never show it. My father is of this kind. I remembered once I felt ill. Mother wasn’t at home at that moment. Father acted as a father and as a mother as well. When he came home from work, he would cook dinner for me first. The way he fed me made me think of my kind and tender mother. His eyes were full of love and expectation. I did feel a father’s love at that time.

The summer vacation is here, and the students are very happy. Now I will

introduce to you how my summer vacation was spent.

When I started to do my homework during the summer vacation, I was always

afraid that I would not finish it. As a result, on July 15th, I was almost

finished. After a few days, the rest of the homework was finished, and there

were only two essays left. I didnt write until August 14th. Next week, my

parents are going to take me to play for two days. I am very happy. Summer is

almost over and I really wish it would be longer.

The summer vacation is almost over, and I have something to worry

about.

Its just that I havent written an essay yet. The school will start soon,

when will I write? In ancient times, people often said: The young and the strong

do not work hard, and the boss is sad. We want us to cherish time, but if I am

different, I will waste time. I am lazy. I hope this shortcoming can be

corrected. I hope you can support me a lot!

Today is the first day of my learning to swim. Before that, I prepared some

necessary things for swimming, such as swimming caps, swimming trunks, swimming

goggles, etc., and I was excited for several days, looking forward to todays

arrival.

When I came to the swimming pool of Baolihao Fitness Center, I saw that the

water was clear and clear, and it could be used as a mirror. I was in a group

with three other children, who, like me, came to study on the first day. Our

main task today is to practice holding and breathing. Yutian, I have never been

in contact with water, so at first I was afraid to hold my breath because of the

water, but when I saw everyone elses head sinking, I mustered up the courage to

sink my head, but it took less than six seconds to come out, and the other

students It took me about 30 seconds to hold back. It seems that I have to do my

best.

When I got home, my mother told me that I have to be determined to do

anything. Since I have gone to learn, I must learn it. If some movements are not

in place, I must find a way to practice more. I think what my mother said makes

a lot of sense, so I practiced holding my breath in the washbasin at night. It

lasted for more than 20 seconds at most. It seems that as long as I work hard, I

can do better. If there is a will, things will come true !

Im looking for a weekend. Its happy and its free. This is my dream.

At this weekend, I dont have to play the violin; I dont have to draw pictures; Olympic Maths is far away from me; Handwriting doesnt bother me.

I can play and I can sing; I can do everything interesting. No one can stop me.

Oh, what a happy weekend! But, its only my dream. I hope it will come true.

上次，我的英语月考成绩低得可怜，因为我没复习阅读的部分。所以这次我决定一雪前耻。考试的前几天，我每天回到家，就打开书，不断的重复阅读那几段要考的故事，希望可以有好成绩。

每写完一大题，我的情绪就越紧张，因为那阅读的部分在我写完一大题，就会离我越近。危机逼近，我的皮随着也紧了起来。我在心里不断的念念有词：“要来啦！要来啦！它要来啦！”但是当我望向时钟，心里疑惑着：“怪了！过了这么久，考卷也即将要写完了，怎么还不见噩梦来袭呢？”

“叮─当─叮─咚”，洪亮的钟声刚好响起，我即时写完了！但是我的天敌却始终没有出现，难道说这次月考没有“阅读”这一大题？看来我真是白紧张了！不过，往好的方面想，这次的考试简单多了，也就是说，拿满分的机率很高。我放下了心中的大石，心想着：“这就是塞翁失马，焉知非福”吧！

有一天，有两个小朋友阿元和阿宵，突然灵机一动，把要给国王的汤圆，拿去油炸，没想到国王吃了后，居然说很好吃。

从今以后，人民都变成吃炸汤圆，并且纪念阿元和阿宵，所以把他们挂掉的那天取名为元宵。

你吃过炸汤圆吗?试试看吧!那是阿元和阿宵发明的美食哦!

小时候，友谊是一盒水彩笔，用稚嫩的手涂鸦出一张张五彩缤纷天真无邪的笑脸，一不小心湿了糊了，哦，没关系再画一张更好更真切的。儿时的友谊像一团热烈的火，是肆无忌惮的争辩，是互相赌气撅起的嘴，是共同哄抢的那一大包甜甜的爆米花……友谊是个大大的蜜饯，无论何时尝起，都是美滋滋的。那是童年时的友谊，是一项皇冠，天真为珠宝，烂漫做流苏——那么美丽那么纯真。这是只属于童年那片蔚蓝色天空的友谊——友谊地久天长。

长大了，友谊是一块透明的玻璃，照亮着失败落寞的心。打破了，就很难再拼凑起来，只能躲在一个角落默默地哭泣，默默地醒悟……在哪里跌倒的就在哪里靠自己坚强地爬起来，那是我们成长的足迹。

正月十五吃元宵，在我国是由来已久习俗。人们在元宵节吃汤圆，实际上是思念亲人、渴望团圆的意思。

Eating Tangyuan is an important tradition for the Lantern Festival. Tangyuan, also know as yuanxiao, is a Chinese food made from glutinous rice flour mixed with a small amount of water to form balls and is then cooked and served in boiling water.

吃汤圆是元宵节的一项重要习俗。汤圆，又名“元宵”，是由糯米粉等做的球形食品，一般有馅料，煮熟带汤吃。

Traditionally, the balls come stuffed with sweet black sesame paste, although the fillings can vary. Tangyuan are eaten during Lantern Festival because of a homophone for union.

通常用黑芝麻做馅，但又不仅限于黑芝麻。据说元宵象征合家团圆美好，吃元宵意味着新的一年合家幸福、团团圆圆，所以正月十五元宵必备。

Decorating and hanging lanterns is the main tradition of the festival, with lanterns big and small hung around households, parks, streets and other public spaces. Red lanterns of various shape and type will attract countless visitors to watch.

正月十五赏花灯是元宵节必有的另一项习俗。人们把大大小小的花灯悬挂于家门口、公园、街道或者其他公共场所。各式各样的红灯笼将会吸引无数的游客前来观赏。

Solving riddles on lanterns has been a popular tradition since the Song Dynasty. People write riddles on paper and stick them to the lanterns and if someone guesses correctly, they can pull the riddle off. The notes often contain messages of good fortune and wishes.

从宋代开始，猜灯谜就是一项非常受欢迎的民俗活动。人们把谜语写到纸上并悬之于灯，供人猜射。通常，谜底都是各种吉祥话和祝福。

The lion dance is one of the oldest traditions to celebrate the Chinese New Year. In ancient times, people regarded the lion as a symbol of bravery and strength and believed the dance could drive away bad fortune to protect people and their livestock. The custom has continued to the modern day and lion dances are performed at important events on the Chinese calendar, such as the Lantern Festival, to bring good luck.

舞狮子是另一项庆祝新春的古老习俗。在古代，人们把狮子作为勇气和力量的象征，认为舞狮可以消灾降福。所以舞狮子的传统就延续至今，并且每逢佳节或庆典，如元宵节都会以舞狮子来祈求好运。

Dragon dance is a form of traditional dance and performance in Chinese culture. Like the lion dance it is most often seen in festival celebration. The dance is performed by a team of dancers who manipulate a long flexible figure of a dragon using poles positioned at regular intervals along the length of the dragon.

舞龙灯是中国独具特色的民俗活动。与舞狮子一样，每逢佳节，人们都要耍龙灯。表演者由数十人组成，每人用一杆间隔支撑起一条长龙。

Chinese dragons are a symbol of China, and they are believed to bring good luck to people, therefore the longer the dragon in the dance, the more luck it will bring to the community.

龙是中国的象征，相传龙能够带来吉祥和好运。耍的龙灯越长，就越能给当地人民带来好运。因此，每逢春节、元宵节，人们都会举行耍龙灯的活动。

Walking on stilts, or Cai Gaoqiao, is another popular traditional performance for the Lantern Festival, especially in Northern China. According to the archives, our Chinese ancestors began using stilts to help them gather fruits from trees. This practical use of stilts gradually developed into a kind of folk dance.

踩高跷是元宵节的另外一项重要民俗，尤其是在北方地区。根据记载，我们的祖先踩高跷是为了从树上摘果子。之后，高跷就发展成为一种群众性技艺表演艺术。
