关于中秋节的英语作文【通用20篇】

我们盼望已久的中秋节来到了。

晚上，我们一家人搬来板凳坐在阳台上赏月。

今晚的月亮像一个害羞的小姑娘，羞羞答答地从乌云中露出半个脑袋，偷偷地向下看，发现没有什么动静了，才从乌云里钻出来，出现在天空中，给黑色的大地披上了一层银白的纱。

月亮一会跑到山尖上，一会儿又跑到溪水旁。

我急忙借来邻居家的望远镜，我看到月亮上有许多环形山、有盆地、大海、峡谷……月亮上没有水，没有生物，也没有传说中的嫦娥和玉兔……突然，我眼前一黑，原来月亮又钻进云朵里了，玩起了捉迷藏。

我非常喜欢月亮，因为，太阳公公一下班打的就变得黑漆漆的，是月亮姐姐为人们送来了光。

看着满天的繁星，渐渐的，我的眼睛模糊了，我好像看见无数的萤火虫在我眼前飞舞。望着那些可爱的星星，仿佛看见它们在对我眨眼睛，说悄悄话哪!

我希望每天晚上的月亮都这样美丽、这样迷人!

I think Mid-Autumn Day is an old traditional festival in China. Everybody likes it because its a family get-together. You see it is called"Mid-Autumn Day", so it often comes in September or October. It is on the 15th of the 8th of the lunar month. Now, lets say something about this interesting festival.

Firstly, Id like to say something about the moon. I like it very much because I want to be an astronaut in the future. That day the moon is round, big, just like a beautiful plate hanging on the blue cloth. When I see the moon, I will remember the ancient myths——the godess Chang Er and her little rabbit are playing under the tree which Wu Gang grows. I will also think about Armstrongs first moonwalk. I will also miss the friends in Tai-wan island, in Macao and Chinese people who are abroad. I know they are missing us very much, too.

Secondly, I11 say something about the tradition on Mid-Autumn Day. Look!Theres a big tree in a garden of a Chinese fami-ly. All the family members are sitting around a big table under the tree in the open air. They are eating the mooncakes and admiring the full moon in the sky. That is a family reunion dinner. The mooncakes and the moon represent the love from a family. I think this is one of the most valuable things in the world.

Thirdly，it is a very good opportunity to make three wishes on Mid-Autumn Day. My wishes are: the first, I, an astronaut in the future, would like to go to the moon one day, and stay with the sky and stars; the second, I hope every person in the world will stay with family, share love from the family forever; the third, I hope everybodys dream will come true.

That is the Mid-Autumn Day in my mind. I will always re-member: East or West, home is best.

我认为中秋节是一个古老的传统节日在中国。每个人都喜欢它,因为它是一个家庭聚会。你看到它被称为“中秋节”,所以它通常在9月或10月到来。它是农历的8月15日。现在,让我们谈谈这个有趣的节日。

首先,我想说说月亮。我很喜欢它,因为我将来想成为一名宇航员。那一天月亮是圆的,大的,就像一个美丽的板挂在蓝色的布。当我看到月亮,我会记住古代神话——女神常Er和她的小兔子是吴刚生长在树下玩耍。我也会想想阿姆斯特朗的第一个月球漫步。我也会想念的朋友在台湾搬岛,在澳门和中国的国外的人。我知道他们也非常想念我们。

其次,我说一些关于中秋节的传统。看!有一棵大树在花园的一个中国天空叩头。所有的家庭成员都是围坐在一张大桌子在树下在露天。他们吃月饼和欣赏天上的满月。这是一个团圆饭。月饼和月亮代表从一个家庭的爱。我认为这是世界上最宝贵的东西之一。

第三,它是一个很好的机会让中秋节三个愿望。我的愿望是:第一,我,一名宇航员在未来,想去月球一天,保持与天空和星星;第二,我希望世界上每一个人会陪家人,分享永远爱从家庭;第三,我希望每个人的梦想就会成真。

这是中秋节在我脑海中。我总是忆起:东或西,家是最好的。

今天是中秋节，我最喜欢中秋节，你们呢?

晚上，爸爸妈妈、爷爷奶奶和我一起赏月，妈妈把月饼，以及一些小点心放在了一个红色的盘子里。爷爷把酒和小配菜都准备好了。此时我拿了一台相机笑脸盈盈地爬上天台。妈妈把盘子里的月饼放在桌子上，我迅速拿起一块，正准备送进嘴里时，妈妈快速地从我手里抢走饼干，说了一句："爸爸都还没有来呢，你吃什么吃呀!""可是，爷爷开心地边喝酒边吃小菜，还哼着小曲儿呢!我为什么不能?哼!"我不服气地说。这时老爸来了，妈妈也就不阻止我了，"好吧好吧，但是不能吃太多啊!"我边吃边高兴地答应着。

就这样，爸爸妈妈谈笑风生，我因为插不进话只能默默无闻地看着月亮，爷爷向着月亮微微地笑了。今天的月亮可真圆啊!

偷偷告诉你们，我今天偷吃了很多月饼，整个肚子都圆溜溜的!

Stepping into the new century, environment pollution has become more

serious than ever since. There are different kinds of pollution. Such as, water

pollution, air pollution and noise pollution and so on. It seems that we live on

a planet which is full of pollution. Where all these pollution comes from? To a

large extend, the environmental destruction is the heavy price that we pay for

the rapid development of economy and the growing population. In order to have

more fuel, people cut down trees and dig more corals. But the growing needs for

energy are hardly to meet. Countless private cars on the street, the gas

stations are short of gasoline, even the government has raise the price so many

times in order to control the needs of gasoline, but it’s still not working.

Overusing the natural resources has already affected the ecological balance.

However, the factories still release the toxic air into the sky and the polluted

water into the rivers. People still lack of the conscious of protecting the

environment. I think it’s time for all of us to do something.

The government should put forward some more strict laws to prevent the

environment from being further polluted. And they should let people know more

about the importance of environment protection. And we should find the balance

between the economic growth and environmental protection. Plant more trees in

the deserts and stop cutting down the forest. Forbid the factories to pour the

waste water into the rivers directly. Encourage people to use public

transportations to work. Both government and ordinary people should join hands

together to make our home clean and fresh again. Only in this way, our earth

could be a better place to live in.

我过过很多中秋节，其中，今年的中秋节最难忘。

我对中秋了解了一些：中秋节是农历八月十五，在一年秋季的中间，故称“中秋”。民间除了要举行赏月、吃月饼、祝福团圆等一系列活动，有些地方还有其他的庆祝活动。古今往来，人们常用“月圆”“月缺”来形容悲欢离合，唐代诗人李白的“举头望明月，低头思故乡”等诗句描写了月圆之夜诗人思念故乡的千古绝唱。

八月十五一大早，妈妈带我去超市买了一大堆肉和蔬菜。然后我们一家三口一起去乡下爷爷家过中秋。我到了爷爷家，看见大爷正在剥鲤鱼，那条鲤鱼很大，起码五斤以上，大娘正在洗菜。爸爸让我和姐姐一起去二爷爷家送月饼。

终于开饭了，爷爷把月饼和水果供到香案上。今天的菜非常在丰盛，有排骨、牛肉、鱼、西兰花，真让人垂涎三尺呀!我们一大家人一起吃饭真热闹呀!就连大爷家的狗也没少吃，又是吃骨头，又是吃肉，竟然把鱼刺也吃了。

然后，我们又分吃了月饼，我吃了许多。有蛋黄的、豆沙的、枣泥的、肉松的.......

啊!中秋节真好呀!只可惜今年的中秋没有月亮，唉!今年的中秋节太让人难忘了!

今天，20--年9月14日，是20--年的中秋节。

今天姑妈、姑伯、昊子表哥都要来我们家吃饭。俗话说，中秋节时的月亮是圆的，表示一家人团圆，还真不耐。平时，要么昊子哥哥到外地上大学不能回来;要么就是姑伯要谈生意，没有时间来;再就是爸爸要去襄樊工作也不能来。现在，一家人终于能团聚在一起了。

今天菜的类容真丰富：有鸡汤、红烧肉、还有油焖大虾，好吃极了。我先吃了一块红烧肉，好吃极了!又吃了一口油焖大虾，更是好吃，简直就是山珍海味、美味佳肴。

一家人吃完了饭，都坐在沙发上看“中秋晚会”，主题就是“海上生明月，天涯共此时。”表演的节目很精彩，里面还表演了许多幽默的小品，逗得我们哈哈直笑。

突然，我想了一个问题，边问妈妈：“中秋节的来历是什么呀?”

妈妈笑着说：“中秋节是我国的传统佳节，与春节、端午、清明并称为中国汉族的四大传统节日。据史籍记载，古代帝王有春天祭日、秋天祭月的礼制节期为农历即阴历八月十五，时日恰逢三秋之半，故名“中秋节”。关于中秋节的起源，大致有三种：起源于古代对月的崇拜、月下歌舞觅偶的习俗。古人赋予月亮许多传说，从月中蟾蜍到玉兔捣药，从吴刚伐桂到嫦娥奔月，丰富的墨客纷纷吟咏月亮及月中之事，八月十五月圆时成为抒发感情的极佳时刻。至北宋太宗年间，官家正式定八月十五日为中秋节，取意于三秋之正中，届时万民同庆。中秋之夜，明月当空，清辉洒满大地，人们把月圆当作团圆的象征，把八月十五作为亲人团聚的日子，因此，中秋节又被称为“团圆节”。

“哦，原来是这样。”我说。

后来，我们又吃了宵夜——月饼。月饼有很多不同的馅，有：蛋黄馅、莲蓉馅、豆沙馅……。因为豆沙和莲蓉馅太腻了，于是，奶奶泡了一壶铁观音。以前中秋晚会上就有这样一句话：”吃月饼，喝热茶，越吃越热。

我吃着月饼，望着天空，只见一轮圆月，但不是我们常说的一轮皎洁的圆月，天空中有层层清云，如烟似雾，弥蒙在月光下。月晕恰恰是这圆月与清云的红娘，牵于二者之间，淡淡的点上一圈，既不喧宾夺主，又有万般娇态。不禁让我想起了苏轼的那首诗：明月几时有，把酒问青天。不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年。

吃完月饼后，姑妈、姑伯……向我们告别走了。

这真是一次愉快的中秋节。

月亮，最大在八月十五，最圆在八月十六。中秋节我们一家三口出去赏月。

中秋节的月又圆又大，似一个银盘悬在天上。你走，它也走;你停，它也停。真是“月亮走，我也走”。

中秋节的月在城隍庙显得格外温馨。小吃城里亲朋好友、情侣夫妇，三三两两或成群结队地聚在一起吃喝玩乐，一齐度过这团聚的日子。

中秋节的月在天一广场里显得格外活跃。广场上的音乐喷泉随着音乐变幻出各种不同的图案。有的似蛟龙出海，有的似双龙戏珠，有的似大鹏展翅，还有的似铁塔堆砌，千姿百态，变化无穷。在喷泉上方的月亮似乎也跳起了欢快的舞，把光芒洒向大地。

中秋节的月在新江桥显得格外宁静。没有汽车的桥上安静极了，桥下江水滔滔，游船往来，月光照在水面，洒下一片银辉。对面繁华的街道上传来时隐时现的越剧声。月亮是那么亮，使五彩的霓虹都黯然失色。

中秋节的月在小区里显得格外灿烂明亮。安安静静的小区愈发让月亮现出了本色。天空中稀稀拉拉几颗星星，那微弱的光忽闪忽闪，只配在月亮的下面作一个普通人。那月亮好象在说：“哼哼，想和我比，天空惟我独尊!”皎洁的月光泻在树上，把树披上了银纱，轻薄飘逸。

今天是农历八月十五，是中国的传统节日—中秋节，也是新中国成立71周年的国庆日。中秋节又称仲秋节、八月节、玩月节、拜月节等，此时恰逢仲秋之中，时值三秋之半，空气清爽、玉露生凉，是一个充满了浪漫和诗意的传统文化节日。

中秋节源自天象崇拜，由上古时代秋夕祭月演变而来。根据史籍记载，“中秋”一词最早出现在《周礼》一书中。中秋节起源于上古时代，普及于汉代，定型于唐初，盛行于北宋，明清时已成为与元旦齐名的节日。中秋节有着悠久的历史和丰富的传说，融合了许多民间的古老习俗，它以月之圆满预兆人之团圆，寄托心中思念，祈盼幸福团聚，是我国弥足珍贵的文化遗产。受中华文化的影响，越南、柬埔寨、印度尼西亚、新加坡等东亚和东南亚国家也有过中秋节的传统。

关于中秋的由来，有好几种说法。一说起源于古代帝王祭祀活动。《礼记》上记载：“天子春朝日，秋夕月”，这里的夕月就是祭奠月亮;二说起源于农业生产。“庄稼成熟曰秋”，八月中秋，各种农作物和果品都到了成熟的时候，此时恰好是三秋之中，农民为庆贺丰收，表达喜悦，就以“中秋”这天作为节日;三说起源于神话传说。“嫦娥应悔偷灵药，碧海青天夜夜心”，中秋节的来源与民间广为流传的“嫦娥奔月”的故事有着密不可分的关系。传说很久以前，一个叫嫦娥的女子，无意中吃了丈夫让她保管的不死药，于是飞奔向月，成为了月神。从此夫妻二人相隔千里，彼此牵挂，每到月圆之夜，便对月思念。嫦娥奔月的神话，给中秋节定下思念的基调，千百年来，这轮圆月承载了无数中国人对团圆和睦最美的定义和最深的情感。

中秋节作为我国的传统佳节，它的习俗大都与月亮有着深厚的渊源，赏月、拜月、吃月饼等习俗均源于此。我们的祖先自古就有春祭日、秋祭月的传统，赏月的风俗来源于祭月，之后便逐渐由庄重严肃的祭祀变成了一桩轻松浪漫的雅事。中秋赏月的风俗在唐朝长安一带极为盛行，到北宋时期，已成为普遍的民俗节日。月到中秋分外明。中秋时节，天高气爽，月朗中天，正是观赏月亮的最佳时节。古往今来，许多文人墨客都在中秋佳节留下了不朽的诗篇。“海上生明月，天涯共此时”，这是张九龄望月时的感怀;“露从今夜白，月是故乡明”，这是杜甫思乡时的惆怅;“今夜月明人尽望，不知秋思落谁家”，这是王建对月时的寂寥;“但愿人长久，千里共婵娟”，这是苏轼中秋时最美好的祝愿。这一首首佳作名篇，描绘着人世间的聚散离合，也倾诉着千百年来人们对幸福团圆的不变期盼。

吃月饼是中秋节的另一个重要习俗。月饼最初是古代中秋祭拜月神的贡品，后来人们逐渐把月饼作为中秋节的必食佳品。月饼与饺子、汤圆、粽子并称为中华民族四大民俗食品。月饼的制作从唐代以后越来越考究。苏东坡有诗云：“小饼如嚼月，中有酥和饴”。月饼象征着甜蜜和团圆。当皎洁的明月，映照着手心的圆饼，就仿佛将最深切的思念与最美好的团圆一起收藏于心中。除赏月与吃月饼外，中秋佳节还有赏桂花、猜灯谜、饮桂花酒等民间习俗。在苏浙一带，观潮亦是中秋的一大盛事。

举国同庆日，中秋佳节时。今年中秋恰逢国庆，也使得这个节日格外不同寻常。从远古走来的中秋，带着月光的皎洁，送来月饼的香甜，它与国庆深情相拥，让小家与大国在今日团圆。花好月圆之夜，与家人围坐在一起，共赏明月，同吃月饼，看月桂婆娑，听风露点点，令人不禁感叹月下的时光如此温柔绵绵。也许唯有团圆，才是最好的中秋吧。在这个丹桂飘香的季节里，在这个万家团圆的节日里，我衷心祝愿亲爱的祖国繁荣富强，挚爱的家人幸福健康。期盼每一年都有皎洁的月色，祈愿每一载都有美满的团圆。

今年的农历八月十五是我国的中秋节。那天也是教师节，人们都会从四面八方赶回家来，全家一起赏月。

到了中秋节，人们都会吃早已准备好的月饼，不管是买来的还是自己做的，全国各地都是一种风俗习惯。这天的早上，人们要回老家看望长辈，一起吃团圆饭。在晚上，人们通常把月饼、水果等食物摆放在供桌上，上三炷香，并把供桌放在月亮可以照的到的地方，以保佑来年风调雨顺，五谷丰登。第二天，全家人要吃供桌上的食品，据说可以避邪气。

相传中秋节的来历，全国各地的说法都不同，其中最有可能的一种说法是：唐太宗南征北战，终于攻下了长安城，当地的一个富商特地献来一种特制的薄饼以示祝贺，当天正是八月十五，月亮正圆。唐太宗见状大悦，于是命令皇宫以后每到八月十五都要吃这种饼。慢慢的，这种习俗流传到了民间，也就有了现在的中秋节。

朋友们，欢迎你们到我们这里过中秋节，请你们来和我们共享美食，共赏明月。

October 1st is the national day of our country, which is a public holiday for the whole country. It’s an important day that marks the beginning of PRC. On that day, there are plenty of celebrations holding throughout the country, from the central government to the general people. And public places, including big squares, parks are decorated in festive theme. In recent years, the national holiday means the golden week as well, which is a short holiday that all people expect to. With the improvement of living standards, people have more money and desire to travel and the golden week is a good chance for them. Besides, for those people who would not go out, it’s a good time to have a good rest as well. Therefore, the national day means a lot to the Chinese.

10月1日是我国的国庆节,这对于整个国家是一个公共假日。这是一个重要的日子,标志着中华人民共和国开始。在那一天,有很多庆祝控股全国,从中央政府到一般人。和公共场所,包括大广场,公园在节日的装饰主题。近年来,国家节日意味着黄金周,这是一个短暂的假期,所有的人都期待。随着生活水平的提高,人们有更多的钱和渴望旅游黄金周是一个很好的机会。除此之外,对于那些人不出去,这是一个很好的时间来好好休息一下。因此,中国的国庆节意味着很多。

今天是中秋节，是全家团圆的日子，所以学校特意提早放了学，我一到家看见姐姐一个人在忙着做饭。一会儿，妈妈也回来了，一进门和奶奶一起忙开了，等我写好作业，一出门，哇！桌子上摆满了丰盛了饭菜。我迫不及待地对奶奶说：“奶奶，今天的菜看上去好吃，我先尝尝哦！”“是吗？”奶奶笑眯眯地说，“好吃多吃点，不过得等你大伯和小董阿姨回来一起吃。”

等来等去，大伯还是不回来。奶奶已经打过三、四个电话了，可他总是说“过一会回来”、“马上到”……七点了，大伯和小董阿姨终于来了，我大喊一声：“吃饭了！”便狼吞虎咽起来。不一会，红烧螃蟹、猪蹄子、木耳炒肉片、水煮鱼……都不见了。

晚饭后不久，我们全家坐到了阳台上。吃着月饼，听奶奶念叨着：“不知你爸爸出差在外有没有吃月饼？”看着那圆圆的皎洁的月亮，我不由得想起了苏轼的《水调歌头》中的诗句：“人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。但愿人长久，千里共婵娟！”

农历8月15日是中秋节，在我的家乡，是全家一起吃月饼的节日。

晚上，我和爸爸妈妈一起吃月饼，看月亮，心里很开心。妈妈准备了很多月饼，因为有不同的口味，所以每个月饼都分成了三块，这样每个人就可以吃到很多的味道。

今晚的月亮很圆很亮，我问妈妈：“月亮上有人吗？”妈妈说：“月亮上当然有人，她的名字叫嫦娥，她和一只仙兔生活在一起……”妈妈给我讲了嫦娥奔月的故事。

爸爸妈妈准备了酒，还给我准备了饮料，我们一边喝、一边赏月、一边吃月饼。这时候，我想到了一个游戏，谁能说出有关月亮的句子，就奖励谁一块月饼。我第一个想到：“月儿月儿圆溜溜，像皮球。”妈妈说：“月儿月儿圆鼓鼓，像灯笼。”“月儿月儿圆圆的，像大饼。”……我和爸爸妈妈都说了好多好多的句子，也吃了好多好多的月饼，好饱啊！

中秋节的月亮真美啊！中秋节的月饼真好吃啊！家乡的中秋节让我觉得好快乐！

今天是中秋节，晚上我和爸爸妈妈在家里，看了“中国好声音”的中秋晚会。晚上有个节目，特别让人感动，当倪鹏和单冲锋唱起《当我想你的时候》，屏幕上出现了各个歌手的家人，有送给他们祝福的，也有些表达对他们支持的，各个歌手看到以后都泪流满面。

歌手为什么会流泪呢?开始我还不明白，后来听了主持人伊一的采访和爸爸的解释，我就慢慢明白了，他们流泪是因为，他们为了梦想，为了给家人更好的生活，长期在外打拼而没有回家，所以他们思念亲人，这让我懂得了，中秋最美是亲情，中秋最美是思念，中秋最美是感恩。

It goes without saying that english plays an important role in our modern

society. english is an international language. wherever you go, you can hear

english spoken by many people.

From this point of view, it is true that english is important to our daily

life. learning english is like learning to swim or learning to play ball. our

primary trouble is that we have tackled the study of language from the wrong

end. we are like theman who thinks he can learn to swim only by reading books

about swimming. in actuality, we learn by doing. the grammatical rules are

valuable as we plunge into the language and need some assistance. in the same

way, advanced instructions about swimming are helpful as we learn something from

actual experience in the water. but reading books never makes a swimmer and

learning rules never makes a practical linguist. the regular procedure in

learning english involves listening first, to be followed by speaking. then

comes reading, and finally the writing of the language. the way you learn

english is much the same as the way you learned your own language.

First of all you must listen and then repeat and repeat until you can use

the language easily. in other words, you have to build up language habits in

english just as you build up english habits in your own language. to sum up, we

must bear in mind that nobody can learn to swim for you. nobody can learn to

play ball for you. nobody can learn english for you. its up to you. you must

learn for yourself and you will learn if you really want to and are willing to

practice.

Some people hold the opinion that A is superior to B in many ways. Others,

however, argue that B is much better. Personally, I would prefer A because I

think A has more advantages.

There are many reasons why I prefer A. The main reason is that ... Another

reason is that...(赞同A的原因)

Of course, B also has advantages to some extent... (列出1~2个B的优势)

But if all these factors are considered, A is much better than B. From what

has been discussed above, we may finally draw the conclusion that ...(得出结论)

In the last several decades, our earth has been extremely polluted, such as

air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution and so on. In recent years, the

extreme weather becomes more and more frequent. Winter gets colder and summer

becomes hotter and it rains more frequently. All of these warn us that

protecting the environment is a serious and emergent event. As our general

people, we should build proper lifestyle. We should pay attention to water and

light saving. When we go out, we should firstly choose the public

transportation. The most important is that we must realize that we can do a lot

of things to protect our environment. Its our duty to make our home better.

Let’s change from ourselves.

My grandparents believed you were either honest or you werent. There was

no in between. They had a simple motto hanging on their living-room wall: "Life

is like a field of newly fallen snow; where I choose to walk every step will

show. "They didnt have to talk about it--they demonstratedthe motto by the way

they lived. They understood instinctively that integrity means having a personal

standard of morality and ethics that does not sell out to expediency and that is

not relative to the situation at hand. Integrity is an inner standard for

judging your behavior.Unfortunately, integrity is in short supply today--and

getting scarcer. But it is the real bottom line in every area of society.And it

is something we must demand of ourselves.

A good test for this value is to look at what I call the Integrity Trial,

which consists of three key principles: Stand firmly for your convictions in the

face of personal pressure.

When you know youre right, you cant back down. Always give others credit

that is rightfully theirs. Dont be afraid of those who might have a better idea

or who might even be smarter than you are. Be honest and open about who you

really are. People who lack genuine core values rely on external factors--their

looks or status---in order to feel good about themselves. Inevitably they will

do everything they can to preserve this facade,but they will do very little to

develop their inner value and personal growth.

So be yourself. Dont engage in a personal cover-up of areas that are

unpleasing in your life. When its tough, do it tough. In other words, face

reality and be adult in your responses to lifes challenges.

Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity

and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.

Integrity means you do what you do because its right and not just

fashionable or politically correct. A life of principle, of not succumbing to

the seductive sirens of an easy morality,will always win the day. My

grandparents taught me that.

The way people hold the belief that a fun-filled， pain-free lifestyle

equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real

happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness，then pain must be equal to

unhappiness. But in fact，the opposite is true： more often than not things that

lead to happiness contain some pain.

As a result，many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true

happiness.They fear the pain inevitably (不可避免地) brought by such things as

marriage，raising children，professional achievement， religious commitment，

self-improvement.

Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be

less and less satisfying. If he is honest，he will tell you that he is afraid of

making a commitment，for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is

filled with fun， adventure and excitement.Marriage has such moments，but they are

not its most distinguishing features.

Couples，with infant children， are lucky to get a whole nights sleep of a

three-day vacation. We dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to

describe raising children. But couples that decide not to have children ever

know the joys of watching a child grow up or playing with a grandchild.

Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun

is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time： now we can devote

more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It liberates

money：buying that new car or those fancy clothes to increase our happiness now

seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy：we now understand that all those

who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

Good afternoon， everyone。

The topic of my speech today is “Being a Good Listener”。

Good listening can always show respect， promote understanding， and improve interpersonal relationship。

Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children， so they will understand them better， and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students， then they can meet their needs better， and place themselves in a good relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates， thus they will help and learn from each other， and a friendship is likely to be formed。

What I want to stress is that each of us should listen to others。 Show your respect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a supportive silence or a knowing smile; be open-minded to different opinions even though you don’t like them。 In a word， good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other。

Thank you for your listening!

In the matter of courage we all have our limits. There never was a hero who

did not have his bounds. I suppose it may be said of Nelson and all the others

whose courage has been advertised that there came times in their lives when

their bravery knew it had come to its limit.

I have found mine a good many times. Sometimes this was expected--often it

was unexpected. I know a man who is not afraid to sleep with a rattle-snake, but

you could not get him to sleep with a safety-razor.

I never had the courage to talk across a long, narrow room. I should be at

the end of the room facing all the audience. If I attempt to talk across a room

I find myself turning this way and that, and thus at alternate periods I have

part of the audience behind me. You ought never to have any part of the audience

behind you; you never can tell what they are going to do.

I like the Mid-autmun Festival also because a legend .According to the legend,long time ago there was a beautiful girl called Chang

e ,and HouYi was her husband.They loved each other deeply.But one day,Change ate the elixir of life by mistake,and then flied to the moon. That is the widely known story of The Goddess Changs fly to the moon. It is said that people can see Change in the moon at a full-moon night of the Mid-autumn Festival .

我喜欢中秋的同时也是因为一个关于中秋节的传说。据传，很久以前，有一位漂亮的姑娘叫嫦娥，她的丈夫叫后羿。他们深爱这彼此。但是有一天，嫦娥误食了不死药，飞向了月亮。这就是广为人知的“嫦娥奔月”的故事。据说，中秋月圆之夜，人们便可以在月亮上看到嫦娥。
