[关于春节的英语作文:The Spring Festival

When it comes to the 5th day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, you will think of Dragon Boat Festival and zongzi. Do you know the origin of Dragon Boat Festival? Let me tell you something about it.

Qu Yuan, a doctor in the state of Chu, had always loved the country, but his patriotic heart was unfairly treated by Zi Lan and Jin Shang. In the early May ad 278, five, Qu Yuan was patriotic and angry, holding a big stone, jumping into the Miluo River and suicidal. The people of the state of Chu were all sorrowful. They all rowed a boat to save Qu Yuan. But a vast ocean, where there was Qu Yuans shadow, the gang had been in the Miluo river for half a day, and had no choice but to find Qu Yuan corpse. The bamboo tube in Steamed Rice cast the hope that the fish in the water is not the original body of gnawing humiliation. After that, every year on the 5th day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, the local people rowed the rice into the river in the bamboo tube, and later, the rice in the bamboo tube was changed to zongzi.

On the annual Dragon Boat Festival, people pack zongzi, buy zongzi and eat zongzi. The shape of zongzi is very special, neither square nor round. The zongzi is wrapped with green rice dumplings wrapped in glutinous rice and jujube. The color and appearance of the dumplings are very good. The taste of the dumplings is unique. It is a unique taste of the zongzi. It is both a delicacy of summer and an appetizing food, and a good nourishing nourishing product.

Whenever I eat zongzi, I think of Qu Yuans patriotism.

A Present For Mother’s Birthday

Everyone should give his mother a present when his mother’s birthday is coming. It is 25th May Sunday. Today is Han Mei’s mother’s birthday. So she wanted to give her mother a special present. What present should she give? Maybe a bunch of flowers a birthday card are the best presents. A card is cheaper. But it is bad for trees. The more I buy cards, the more trees will be cut by people. So what another present should she give? Let me tell you this present.

It was five o’clock. It was time to surprise her mother. When Han Mei’s mother came home, Han Mei said Happy Birthday to her mother. Then she cleaned her mother’s feet. As you can see, her mother was very surprise.

Why do you think it was a good present?

what! The summer vacation goes by so fast, fifty days will pass in a blink

of an eye. During this summer vacation, I spent most of the time playing

basketball. Sometimes I go swimming with my friends. Sometimes play with small

cards. If I was alone, I would ride a bicycle for a ride around, or watch TV, or

go online to find a classmate I miss, chatting, bickering, and solving the pain

of missing. There are many, many programs to play, but my favorite is still

playing basketball.

During this summer vacation, my mother signed me up for a basketball class,

so that I could keep fit and keep my body in good shape. At the same time, I

also want to find my own fun and hobbies. Make this summer a little more

fulfilling.

When I first started learning, I could not learn the basic skills given by

the coach. Even sometimes the coach has already taught me hands-on, and I still

dont understand. Just when I lost my confidence and was about to give up, the

coach came to me and said, "It doesnt matter, whoever learns skills will not go

through a little setback and will be smooth sailing? Who has an amazing talent,

one step to the sky? Dont you rely on the accumulation of bit by bit to make

the same movement well? As long as there is perseverance, the iron pillar will

be ground into a needle!"

After listening to what the coach said, I was at a loss. Begin to practice

hard: I practice pitching on the court while the coach calls everyone to rest.

The coach said that when school was over, I practiced three-step layups on the

court and didnt leave until my family came to tell me. I also often share my

experience with my classmates...

As the saying goes, hard work pays off, and my hard work is not in vain -

now, my basketball skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and I dont only

know a little bit like before. And my physique has also improved, I wont run

out of breath after running 400 meters like before - playing basketball is happy

and healthy!

This summer vacation is happy and fulfilling, and I look forward to the

next summer vacation coming soon!

Gongshang University

Spring Festival in my Hometown

The Spring Festival, the most jubilant and important festival in China, is observed by most Chinese people at home and abroad. Our hometown is not an exception.

Similar with other places in china, we prepare for the festival about half a month before. With the lunar New Year approaching, the red lanterns are hung up along the main streets, making the ancient town filled with the festival atmosphere. While people clean up their houses, decorate it with traditional decorations such as Chinese knots and paper cutting. Each family pastes up Spring Festival couplets to convey their best wishes for the coming year.

On the New Year’s Eve, the whole family sits around, having a

sumptuous feast of reunion. It is worth mentioning that the food we have called maiyouzhi is unique. There is a flat piece of wheat sheet covering various vegetable and meat then rolling them up. What a delicious it is! After dinner, the family always watches the Spring Festival Gala Evening, and sets up fireworks to watch in the New Year.

On the first day of the New Year, people pay visits to the relatives and friends to send New Year’s greetings to each other and wish everything smoothly in the new year. The kids can get a lot of lucky money from the elders.

During the whole holiday, there are varied activities in the town such as lion and dragon dance, and all the citizens enjoy them very much.

People celebrate the festival until the Lantern festival. However, the wonderful memory and the joy of the Spring Festival will last long.

It’s really my honor to be part of Zhejiang Gongshang University.

My College Life

How time flies! I have been in Zhejiang Gongshang University for a semester. In retrospect, my college life is busy but colorful. Different from my senior high school’s life, the whole new life I led is much freer. I arranged my time,

becoming the master of myself.

First of all, study is still the core of my life. I major in Japanese which is both interesting and challenging. We are required to be accomplished in listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating. As a result I had to spend most of time in improving my abilities. Besides of the regular courses, I often attended the lecture and went to the library to eich my knowledge, and I do benefit from what I learnt.

As to the after school life, what I consider most meaningful is joining the YVP to serve society. I think it is the responsibility for every university student to make contribution to the community. Little as my effort is, I tried my best to help the people around us. Once the YVP organized us to sell secondhand books and raise the money to help the people indeed.

In addition, I quite enjoy the travels and the bees. Travels let me experience the sunshine, fresh air as well as the special taste of the local customs and practices. While the bees keep the friendship shining, and friends are as if family members. Both of them lit up my life.

All in all, the college life is a journey, and I have long way to go; all the memory is the most precious treasure, and I will value every moment.

New Year is coming, and drew a satisfactory full stop last year, and the New Year will start again.

A to the twelfth month, every household will prepare necessities and supermarket goods fully, pay team as crowded as long.

Run the necessities and to clean again, dont pass any a corner, to get the things in the house spotless, meaning to sweep away the bad things, hope for the coming year jixiangruyi, everything.

December 30, men, women and children were put on new clothes, outside has been labeled as red couplets. One day everyone unless as a last resort, be sure to go home for family reunion dinner. In the evening, the family sit together to eat a big table is rich and delicious food. The symbol of the New Year eating not sorrow to wear.

Ate dinner, we sit together watching Spring Festival gala, edge of talk in recent years, the house was filled with laughter. "For a New Years eve firecrackers, spring breeze gifts into the toso" yi? I dont see any fireworks? "Bang" fireworks into the dark sky, while the day have to be with brightness, "petals" with the sky. Does the sky is not the most beautiful New Years eve?

Resting on everyone, everywhere is quiet. Until the third day, adults busy again, they want to go to relatives and friends happy New Year. The children more happy, because you can get a lot of lucky money.

The twinkling of an eye to the end of February, the adults to work, the work to go to school children to school, people working toward the goal.

新的一年到了，去年画上了一个圆满的句号，而新的一年又将开始了。

一到腊月，每家每户都要预备年货，超市里的物品一抢而空，交费的队伍如长龙般拥挤。

办好年货，就要大扫除一遍，不放过任何一个角落，要把屋里的东西打扫得一尘不染，寓意要把不好的东西扫走，企盼来年吉祥如意，事事顺心。

腊月三十，男女老少都穿上了新衣服，门外已经贴上了红红的对联。这天每个人除非万不得已，一定要回家吃团圆饭。晚上，一家人坐在一起吃一大桌丰富而美味的饭菜。这象征这新的一年里不愁吃不愁穿。

吃了饭，大家坐在一起边看春晚，边聊聊近年来的情况，屋里洋溢着大家的笑声。“爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏”咦?怎么没有烟花呢?“砰”绚丽的烟花飞入了漆黑的天上，霎时间天被照得通亮，“花瓣”似的洒满天空。难道除夕夜的天空不是最美丽的吗?

大年初一大家都在休息，到处都很安静。直到初三那天，大人们又忙了起来，他们要去亲戚朋友家拜年。小孩们更高兴，因为可以得到很多压岁钱。

一眨眼就到了二月底了，大人们该上班的上班，小孩该上学的上学，人们又向目标奋斗努力。

There are many festivals in China. Among them, I like the Spring Festival most. 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.

Ancient Chinese legend had had a monster named nian head long sharp edges, fierce abnormalities, in "the beast in the seabed, each elder deep into the New Years eve and climbed out to swallow cattle damage lives, each to New Years eve, people CunCunZhaiZhai FuLaoXieYou and fled to the mountains, to avoid" nian "damage.

传说中国古时侯有一种叫“年”的怪兽，头长尖角，凶猛异常，年”兽长年深居海底，每到除夕，爬上岸来吞食牲畜伤害人命，因此每到除夕，村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼，逃往深山，以躲避“年”的伤害。

又到了一年的除夕，乡亲们象往年都忙着收拾东西准备逃往深山，这时候村东头来了一个白发老人，白发老人对一户老婆婆说只要让他在她家住一晚，他定能将“年”兽驱赶走．众人不信，老婆婆劝其还是上山躲避的好，但老人坚持留下，众人见劝他不住，便纷纷上山躲避去了。

当“年”兽象往年一样准备闯进村肆虐的时候，突然传来爆竹声，“年”兽混身颤栗，再也不敢向前凑了，原来“年”兽最怕红色，火光和炸响．这时大门大开，只见院内一位身披红袍的老人哈哈大笑，“年”兽大惊失色，仓惶而逃．

第二天，当人们从深山回到村里时，发现村里安然无恙，这才恍然大悟，原来白发老人是帮助大家驱逐“年”兽的神仙，人们同时还发现了白发老人驱逐“年”兽的三件法宝．从此，每年的除夕，家家都贴红对联，燃放爆竹，户户灯火通明，守更待岁．这风俗越传越广，就成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日“过年” 。

the origin of chinese new yearchinese new year, pronounced in chinese as "xin nian", always falls on the date of marking the beginning of the spring and thus it is also called the "spring festival". "xin" means "new" and "nian" means "year". there are many stories told about the origin of "nian", which actually is a name of animals.

the old story says that the beast "nian" with a very big mouth was so fierce and could swallow many people in one single bite. people were very scared. an old man offered to subdue "nian" and said to "nian": "i hear that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?" so "nian" swallowed many of the other beasts that hurt people and their domestic animals. the old man turned out to be an immortal god and riding the beast "nian" flied to the heaven.

now that "nian" is gone and other beasts were also scared into forests, people began to enjoy their peaceful life. before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each years end to scare away "nian" in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color the beast feared the most.
