On the second day, the Chinese pray to their ancestors as well as to all the gods. They are extra kind to dogs and feed them well as it is believed that the second day is the birthday of all dogs.?

The third and fourth days are for the sons-in-laws to pay respect to their parents-in-law.?

The fifth day is called Po Woo. On that day people stay home to welcome the God of Wealth. No one visits families and friends on the fifth day because it will bring both parties bad luck.?

In the evenings，we can have a big meal in the restaurant or stay at home with family and watch the TV programs.

下午，我们玩扑克牌，玩“摸小猪”小月和小泽老是输，生了一窝的猪，到最后他们急了赖帐。说我们偷看他们的牌，为了讨好他们俩我们只有自认倒霉啦！看他们俩赖帐成功得意的表情，我们是又可气又可笑。

晚上，我们一大家子坐在电视机前面看电视，幸福美满，其乐融融……

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.

The Spring Festival

Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. the dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the GREgorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.

To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Years Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country.

我的英语老师名叫朱祥慧。听这名字,以为是女的,其实是男的。朱老师长得丑,而且不是一般的丑。俗话说得好:人不可貌相,海水不可斗量。我们以貌取人就大错特错了。他虽然丑,但是英语过了八级呢!厉害吧!

更厉害的还是上他的课呢。他的课,每一节都不同寻常。特别是班上那些调皮捣蛋的学生,简直就是小心翼翼、提心吊胆了。对他们来说,上英语课,应该如同下地狱一般痛苦吧。为什么呢?因为一不小心就有“坠入深谷的危险”——接受“严刑拷打”的考验。“拷打”的过程中,班里有些女生就拍手叫好。用英语老师的话来说,那就是:“上英语课有仇的报仇,有冤的申冤。如果这些男生一而再、再而三地欺负女生,找我就可以了!”这一番话可是说到女生的心窝子里了。

我最佩服英语老师的“双棍打”。左右手都得打,经过老师的一阵“狂打”,你的手非得疼上半节课。其次就是“蹲板凳”——把凳子抽出来,然后你坐在空气中,姿势还必须就像坐在板凳上的一样。20分钟下来,你就挥汗如雨了!这两招还都不算狠,最狠的一招是“笑脸”。英语老师会拍着你的肩膀,笑着对你说一番话,这时,他就会露出那一口不齐整的大牙,令你“毛骨悚然”。

当然也有女生挨揍的时候。前两招我就都领教过,第三招还没“享受”过,我现在是没有那个“荣幸”了。所以,我觉得一句话非常适合形容英语课,那就是:不经历风雨,怎能见彩虹。

“严师出高徒”,我们班的英语成绩就不用说了,每次考试都稳拿第一。英语老师常常用武力,我们班同学居然都喜欢他,在学校组织的“最受欢迎的老师”的评选中,英语老师竟然位居榜首。

我喜欢我的英语老师，你们呢?

今年寒假我来到了爷爷家——山东省过春节。我发现这儿过年的风俗和常州的风俗差不多，而当地特有的磕头拜年习俗引起了我的兴趣。 I came to Grandpas house -Shandong Spring Festival this winter vacation this winter vacation.I found that the customs of the Chinese New Year are similar to the customs of Changzhou, and the local buns New Years customs have aroused my interest.

在除夕这一天，人们蒸馒头、贴春联、放鞭炮、吃团圆饭，看春节晚会，我望着桌上摆满又大又圆、热气腾腾、上面点满红点点、里面饱满枣子的大馒头，听着外面孩子们的放鞭炮、相互嬉戏的笑声，和爷爷、奶奶、伯父、伯母、姑姑、姑父、叔叔、婶婶、姐姐、弟弟一大家人团聚在一起，其乐融融地吃着团圆饭，观看着中央电视台的春节晚会，心里别提有多开心了。我也不时地和姐姐、弟弟们一起出去放烟花，扔鞭炮，尽情地享受节日的快乐!

大年初一，人们早早起床，赶去给长辈们拜年。山东枣庄的拜年方式尤为特别。在常州，拜年只要对长辈说一些祝福的话，在家里坐一坐，聊聊天就好了;而在我爷爷家呢，不仅要送上对长辈的祝福，还要给长辈们磕头行礼。我很奇怪，为什么要磕头呢?问了爷爷之后我才知道个中缘由：

“因为枣庄离孔子之乡曲阜比较近，而孔子一生都提倡‘孝’道，枣庄也受到了曲阜的影响，对长辈十分尊重，所以过年时才要给长辈磕头拜年。”

俗话说得好“入乡随俗”，既然我来到了爷爷家，就应该按照这儿的风俗习惯给长辈磕头拜年。我在吃早饭之前，就开始准备给爷爷奶奶拜年了。因为以前没有磕过头，妈妈特意为我准备了一个厚实的垫子。我满以为这样万无一失，就“扑通”一声双膝跪下，可没有想到这个垫子中看不中用，我的脑袋“呯”的一声撞在地上，头上马上就起了一个包。这是我第一次给长辈拜年，虽然有些疼痛难忍，我还是故作镇定，强笑着说“祝爷爷奶奶身体健康，新年快乐，万事如意”。

周围的家人被我的“良好”表现乐得合不拢嘴。爷爷见我第一次拜年就这样“卖力”，忙说“行了，行了”，并笑着把我扶了起来。奶奶一边心疼地摸着我的头，一边从口袋里掏出胀鼓鼓的红包向我手里塞。看着爷爷奶奶开心的笑容，我早把疼痛抛到了九霄云外。

这次春节回家过年，我不仅感受到了家庭的温暖、家人的亲情，还体验了爷爷家特有的拜年习俗，真是一举两得啊!蛇年春节已过，我期待着马年春节的到来，更期待着与亲人的再一次团聚!

Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese people. The Spring Festival is very exciting, especially on the eve of the Spring Festival.

春节对于中国人来说是最重要的节日。在每年的春节都让人兴高采烈，尤其是大年三十那晚，更是达到了高潮。

The Spring Festival lasts for 15 days, there would be starting on the first day, to the end of the January 15 Lantern Festival.it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they have to make for family reunions， buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.

春节一共有15天，从大年初一开始，到元月十五元宵节这一天结束。在这段比较长的时间是中国人最忙的时候，他们为家庭聚会作安排，采购年货，准备丰盛的食物，以至于整个春节假期都忙忙碌碌的。许多人在春季期间都要回老家过年，跟朋友碰碰头，聚个餐。庆祝春节也包括大扫除和放烟火。但是我们现在要谈的是越来越淡的年味。

Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

现在的春节已经因为我国经济的发展和全球化的影响而改变了很多。

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times， something that does not apply to society today. More often than not， people faced the risk of famine. The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty， and that was possible in spring， or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.

但是没有哪个春节是完全离得开“吃”的。从前，不论人们提前多久想要买年货，总是不能如愿，而现在早已今非昔比。过去常常还要闹饥荒。人们最好的庆祝时间就是他们能得到食物丰盛的时候，也就是春天或是元月初的那段时间。那也是为什么春节对于中国人如此重要的主要原因。

But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China， except for those who are still poor， can enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.

但是三十年来的经济发展已经让中国人，除了那些仍然穷苦的人以外，随时都能享受美食。这得益于人民财富的增长，但是后者也导致一些人吃得太多而受到肥胖威胁和健康问题。

In the past， celebrations were limited to events like song-and-dance duets in North China， dragon/lion dances in South China and fireworks， which required the joint efforts of the entire community. But economic development and urbanization seems to have weakened the social links among people. Many， especially those living in cities， are not interested in celebrating the festival with people they hardly know.

在过去，庆祝春节还只停留在北方的二人转和南方的舞龙舞狮等形式。那些庆祝活动往往需要许多人合力才能办得起来。但是经济的发展和国际化程度的提升似乎已经将这种社会联系弱化了。许多人，特别是城市居民，不太愿意与不相识的人一起共度春节。

Many customs associated with Spring Festival have changed， too. In the past， people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today， many people， especially the youth， use their cell phones or the Internet to send their good wishes and even "gifts" to their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones， but we should see this development as a time- and energy-saving exercise granted by the information age.

与春节相关的许多习俗也被改变了。在过去，人们常常会带着礼物走亲访友，互道祝福。今天许多人，特别是年轻人，用手机或是网络向亲朋好友发去“礼物”和祝福。有些人或许会说，这说明人们已经没有那么关心至爱亲朋了，但是我们应该把这种变化看作信息化时代省钱省力的好办法。

In recent times， many people have started praying for a career promotion or more money instead of invoking God or the Buddha for a healthy and long life and the welfare of their family. But the number of such people is decreasing now， which shows that people are becoming more reasonable.

最近几年，许多人开始祈祷事业高升，财源滚滚，而不是求神拜佛，他们身体健康，长命百岁，家庭美满。但是这样的人数现在正在减少，说明人们开始变得更加理性。

The Spring Festival, Chinese New Year,is the most important festival for all of us. All family members get together on New YearEve to have a big meal.At the same time, everyone celebrates to each other.At about 12 oclock,some parents and children light crackers.The whole sky is lighted brightly. We may watch the fireworks excitedly.How busy it is!

On the first early moring of one year, many senior citizen get up early and they stick the reversed Fu or hang some couplets on the front door. Some houses windows are sticked on red paper cutlings.

The Chinese New Year lasts fifteen days. So during the fifteen days, we always visit our relatives from door to door. At that time, children are the happiest because they can get many red packets form their parents,grandparents, uncles, aunts and so on. The last day of the Chinese New Year is another festival. It names the Lantern Festival.

So the Chinese New Year comes to the end.

春节，中国新年，是我们大家最重要的节日。所有的家庭成员都得到新大吃一顿。同时，大家互相庆祝。大约十二点，一些家长和孩子们放鞭炮，天空是明亮的。我们可以兴奋地看烟花!

在一年的第一个清晨，许多老年人早早起床，贴上颠倒的礼物，或在前门挂上对联。一些房子的窗户上贴上红纸。

中国新年持续十五天。所以在这十五天里，我们总是登门拜访我们的亲戚。那时，孩子们最快乐，因为他们可以从父母、祖父母、叔叔、阿姨那里得到很多红包。春节的最后一天是另一个节日。它把元宵节命名为元宵节。

所以中国新年就要到了。

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.

Hi! Peter,

I’m glad to know you are having a good time in Chengdu.

TheSpring Festival isthe most important festivalin China.Itis a custom togive lucky money to children. I get lucky money every year. I will put most of it in the bank, andspend the rest onsome books. This year is no exception(也不例外) and I also got lucky money.With it, I bought some school things for several poor students in Ningxia，hoping the things can bring some happiness to them.

For you,I think it’s a good idea tobuy a gift with the lucky money for your hostfamilybefore you leave China. You can also buy some Chinese gifts for your parents and friends in England. Or, just keep it as good memories.

I hope what I said can help you.

Yours,

Li Hua

我国有许多传统节日，比如元宵节，重阳节，端午节。但最盛大隆重的节日莫过于春节了。

There are many traditional festivals in our country, such as the Lantern Festival, the heavy Sun Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival. But the most grand festival is the Spring Festival.

中国的春节，已经有四千多年的历史了，起初不叫春节，到了公元前两千一百多年，当时，人们以木星运动一周的时间为一岁，就把春节叫“岁”。公元前一千年，人们以年来表示。

China Spring Festival, has a history of over four thousand years, initially not called the Spring Festival, in more than 2100 BC, at that time, people with Jupiter movement a week for a year, the Spring Festival is called "old". In one thousand B.C., people were expressed in years.

北方人过春节和南方有很大的不同，北方晚上要包饺子，吃饺子，在百十个饺子里，有一个饺子放有硬币，吃到它的人，一年诸事顺利。南方除了要贴春联外，还要在门外搁两圈贴红纸的甘蔗，寓意进入佳境。

People in the north and south of the Spring Festival is very different to the dumplings, eating dumplings dumplings in North night, 100, there is a dumpling with the coin, the person who eats it, a well. In addition to the southern spring festival couplets, but also put two ring paste red paper cane in the door, meaning into something.

我最喜欢过春节了，一到春节，就能穿上新衣服，拿红包。除夕早上，我和爸爸一起贴春联，贴完后，又开始贴“福”字，只见爸爸把“福”倒着贴在了墙上，我问：“爸爸，为什么“福”要倒着贴呢？爸爸笑着回答：“这意思就表示福倒（到）。”我又拿了一张“财”字，正要倒着贴，爸爸说：“财到不就财倒了吗？所以要横着贴，意思就是发横财。”我若有所思地点点头。

I like the Spring Festival the most. In the Spring Festival, I can put on new clothes and take the red bag. On the eve of new years Eve, I put up a spring festival couplet with my dad. After finishing it, I began to paste the word "Fu". I saw my father sticking Fu on the wall. I asked, "Daddy, why is" Fu "stuck instead? Dad smiled and replied, "this means blessing." I also took a "money" word, just to fall on, dad said: "is not money to the money? So was posted, meaning that windfall." I thought and nodded.

晚上，我和爸爸妈妈一边吃着香喷喷的火锅，一边看着春晚，真是一件大好事啊！到了深夜十二点，四周围仿佛炸开了锅，烟花有的像一颗“炮弹”，突然，分解成无数的小“炮弹”，紧接着，小“炮弹”又绽开了“花儿”。还有的烟花像流星一样划过天空，又变成了一个个小小点分散了，消失了。热闹的声音传遍了整个同安……

In the evening, my father and mother and I eat a fragrant hot pot while watching the Spring Festival Gala. It is really a great thing. At twelve oclock at night, it seemed as if the surrounding area had exploded. Some fireworks were like a "shell". Suddenly, they broke into numerous small shells. Then, the small shells exploded again. The fireworks, like meteors, crossed the sky, and they became small and scattered, and disappeared. The noisy sound spread all over the same peace...

我喜欢过春节！

I like the Spring Festival!

春节，是我们中华民族一个重要的节日，要贴春联，放鞭炮，守岁，拜年，等等等等。不同的民族有不同的习俗。

大年三十，我们全家换上新衣，贴上新春联，准备迎接新年的到来。晚上，我们全家吃着饺子，饺子有一层寓意:财源滚滚。因为饺子像一个元宝，在古时候元宝就是钱。守岁一定少不了>,没有>,守岁就没有意思。我们一家坐在沙发上，欢声笑语，看着>，其乐融融。

大年初一，我和爸爸坐着自家的车，走在新修的大路上，虽然寒风刺骨，但还是欢乐无比。到了奶奶家，我跟奶奶拜了一个年得到了一个大红包，心想：今年发财喽!然后和奶奶的街坊邻居拜了个年。接着来到了大伯家，来到大伯家，就如来到书的天堂，有故事类，科学类，艺术类……在大伯家吃完饭之后，我收到了红包和一些书,我要一点点把着些书消化掉。来到大伯家真高兴!

我今年真高兴，真是一个快乐的春节!
