春节是我国最隆重的传统节日之一。每年寒假我都会和爸爸妈妈爷爷奶奶一起过春节。贴春联、包饺子、吃年夜饭、看春晚、拜年……都成为春节里最开心的事。

在我的家乡，除夕前几天人们就开始忙乎起来。家家都要打扫卫生，干干净净的过新年。在我家，爷爷通常是司令员，我们都是他的兵：妈妈扫地、爸爸拖地、奶奶烧菜、爷爷擦窗户，我呢，只要倒下垃圾就行了。半天功夫，我们家就焕然一新。

大年三十的重头戏是贴春联，中午大人们忙着弄浆糊、裁春联，最后很认真的将大红的福字、对联贴在门上，我们的房子仿佛披上了喜庆的盛装。我在一旁看看热闹，有时还插嘴评论几句，爷爷会用一句“童言无忌”赶走我。

大人们辛苦了一天，会在晚上聚在一起吃年夜饭。奶奶是大厨，她做的饭菜美味诱人，最拿手的保留菜肴会被一抢而空。席上，我们会互致祝福，说声感谢，祈祷来年平安幸福。

新年来临时，我总会试穿新衣服，甚至连新鞋都要试一试，在镜子前转来转去，提前感受新年穿新衣的快乐滋味。时间一分一秒的溜走，我也在不经意间甜甜的睡着。一觉醒来，我就又长大一岁了。大年初一，我会早早的起床，吃了红枣、约上几个小伙伴一起去拜年。大人们穿着新衣也三五成群的行走在洋溢在节日的喜庆里，大家互相道一声“新年好”，我会收获很多的糖果，口袋塞得满满的，只能拎着零食袋，回家后，我会像凯旋的士兵一样把战利品上交给妈妈。

春节里，人们走亲访友、互致祝福。这一刻，大家彼此传递着亲情、友情、乡情。年年岁岁花相似，岁岁年年人不同。家乡的春节可真是丰富多彩，令人回味啊!

Since we go to school, English is one of our main subjects, the government pays special attention to the English education. In the class, we have learned the grammar and sentence structure for a long time, some students are no more satisfied with what we learn in the class, they want to speak English fluently, so they can take advantage of what they learn in the class. Nowadays, English corner has be the main symbol for the English learners, most people join the corner in the weekends. Joining the English corner can enhance people’s ability of speaking English. Students have less chance to speaking in the class, but in the English corner, they can speak what they want. As there are people from all classes in the English corner, people can share their experience for each other, they can learn more from each other. If you have time, I suggest you to join the English corner.

打从我们上学，英语就成为了我们的主要科目之一，政府也格外注重英语教育。在课上，我们在很长一段时间里学习了语法和句子结构，一些学生不再满足于在课上学习到的，他们想要讲一口流利的英语，因此他们可以充分利用在课上学习到的。现在，英语角已经成为了英语学习者的主要象征，大部分人在周末参加英语角。参加英语角可以增强他们讲英语的能力。学生在课上很少有机会讲英语，但是在英语角，他们可以讲自由发话。英语角里有来自社会各界的人士，人们可以彼此交流经验，互相学习。如果你有时间，我建议你来参加英语角。

最近几个月来，我发现妈妈发火的次数越来越多了。说来惭愧，三分之二的怒火都是因为我。因此，我处处小心翼翼，但是难免有些错误逃不过妈妈的“火眼金睛”。这下不好，我犯了几个大错误，并且之前好像还犯过。请你帮我看看，这些错误为什么会犯?

第一，我考试的时候，看见一条数学报上的题目，非常高兴，心想：哇哈哈，这下我肯定不会错喽。于是我很自然地跳过了一道很简单的应用题，开始做这道题目，接着再往下做，很快就做完了，然后就合上了试卷，塞到抽屉里。别人很吃惊：“这么快?”我回了一个懒洋洋的眼神，又拿出卷子，开始检查正面。正面检查完，我随便扫了一眼反面，趴在桌子上发呆。现在想起来，我追悔莫及：当时要是先检查反面该多好!可是我对应用题蛮有信心的，竟然没发觉有一条6分的漏网之鱼，唉……

第二，我上“电子百拼”课回来后，意外地发现一个重要零件——100ω(欧姆)电阻不翼而飞!我大吃一惊，随后绝望：即使是找遍全球估计也找不到了，很可能已经被扫地的人扫进了垃圾桶!我悲痛欲绝：真主安拉，为什么，为什么少的偏偏是100ω?这是最常用到的电阻，少1mω的也好啊!第二天，我发现，10条题目里9条都需要用到电阻，这些电阻清一色全是100ω的。无奈之下，我只得花5元像大○子老师买了一个，想起来就肉疼!

第三，也是关于电子百拼的。我将包忘在了班里，回头拿的时候，发现包的拉链不知被谁拉开了，还很显眼地放在桌子上。我当时真想大骂扫地的同学!你们好奇心就这么强?不知道别人的东西不可以随便碰吗?我赶紧检查了一下物品，还好，没有丢掉。即使是这样，我的怒火也持续了很久(事实证明只有两分钟)才平息下来。不过，妈妈得知这件事后，对我的怒火就更长了(二十分钟左右)。

还有好多的错误，不过都是些小错，却足以让妈妈勃然大怒。也许是更年期的原因吧，她变得很敏感，很挑剔，可能性最大的是我错误太多了。看来，我以后要更加小心呀!

“好雨知时节，当春乃发生……”

偶而漫步于林间，夹杂着野花的芬芳的气息不时涌入体内，使人心情舒畅。躲藏了一整个冬季了，是该出去走走了。

春，是呼唤。她似一位贤惠又温柔的妇女，在沉睡着的孩子身边轻轻呼唤，声音轻而柔，如空姐那般甜美，努力想叫醒他，却又不忍将他吵醒，只愿孩子能梦中隐约听见母亲的呼唤而渐渐苏醒。

“春眠不觉晓。”在春天做着美梦的孩子总不容易醒来，万物也是如此。何况那位春神又不忍将他吵醒呢!于是，万物一直沉睡着，而春神却不气馁，还在他们身边不断地呼唤着，功夫不负有心人，有朝一日，万物必将苏醒……

春，是起点。俗语有云：“一年之计在于春。”春天是一年中的首季，虽然刚开始，却不忍输给任何人，似接力赛跑一般，努力为未来打下基础，开个好头。

于是，在春天，人们便开始劳碌起来，都去干自己该干的事了。农民，在田间辛勤地耕作，鸟儿用歌唱来颂美他们的勤劳;工人，在工厂操作，机器的轰声编成一曲交响乐来歌颂他们的贡献;学生，在学校认真地学习，鲜明的分数预告了他们的成果。总之，在春天，人人都在这起点出发，急速奔跑……

春，是希望。不但是农民的希望，更是各行各业人的希望。哪一个人不希望一年平平安安?哪一商人不愿这年财源广进?又有哪一人不愿这一年万事如意?于是，人们纷纷在春天中埋下了自己的种种愿望，希望到年底这些愿望一一实现。然而，希望的有无，决非凭空而论。春，虽然年年更替，希望却只有在辛勤耕耘后，才能实现。因此，春也是耕耘的季节。

春，是呼唤;春，是起点;春，是希望;春，更需耕耘。因此，我们要把握好我们现有的青春，让心灵呼唤起沉睡的斗志，让怯懦的双腿站在希望的起点上，用青春耕耘人生，让那一片希望在春播种，在未来收获。

[初二年级作文：春悟

Love is an art which involves deep emotion. It is a pure and lofty desire in ones innermost heart. Real love means not only a pleasure, but also loyalty and obligation. To love is to give and sacrifice. One who can not create happiness, even make sacrifice for his beloved, cannot be counted as a true lover.

To be loved you have to love. True lovers are willing to sacrifice themselves for each others sake. True love needs no expression in words. One glance is enough to make each other understand. A handshake, a gentle touch inspired by respect and admiration, will leave you intoxicated and remain in your memory. Even when you are old you will recall and cherish it with deep emotion.

Real love is unforgettable. With the development of science and technology, love becomes more noble, rich, fine and subtle. As is known to all, everyone is born with the right to love and also the right to refuse to return love. Human love exists with human beings. Wherever there are people, there is love.

Let us draw courage, confidence and happiness from love.

You could be found wherever you are so long as you take the mobile phone with you. Some people wonsider the mobile phone necessary and useful to them, while others may dislike it.

People who like the mobile phone are much more concerned about its advantages. It is convenient, for you can connect others easily and quickly. You don t have to wait for an important call at home all day long. The youth of today send messages, surf on the net, listen to music and even take photos by using the mobile phone. People find it advanced for its attractive functions. In some countries, it even stands for a person s status.

However, some people don t like it. Imagine that you go to spend your holiday with your family after days of busy and tiresome work. When you lay on the beach comfortably, your phone rings. Then you have to go back to your office only to find an unimportant customer waiting for you. At that moment, you may even want to throw your phone away, for you just want to relax and get rid of your work.

However, whether you like the mobile phone or not, it has alresdy affected our lives and played an important role in the history of human beings.

The animal is the friend of our human beings. We live in the same earth. Animals and human beings can’t be separated from each other. But some animals are getting less and less.

Beside, because of the development of society, human needs more space to live in, so we explore the forest. Animals have less space to live in. The number of wild animals decreases year by year.

动物是人类的朋友，我们共同生活在地球上。动物和人类不可以彼此分离。但有些动物的数量越来越少，所以我们有必要去保护动物，特别是野生动物。一小部分人为了赚钱而去猎杀野生动物，这是违法行为。此外，由于社会的发展，人类需要的生活空间，所以要开发森林。然而动物的生存空间却变少了。野生动物的数量逐年减少，现在该是采取措施保护野生动物的时候了。

Late one afternoon, I was on my way home from school. I walked slowly along the street with my head drooped. The scenes on both sides of the street were beautiful, but I had no interest in them at all. I walked and walked, thinking of what had happened that day.

Just a few minutes before the second class began that afternoon, I was asked to go to the teachers office. I heard my teacher talking to my mother with anger.

How could you dare to go to see a film this morning without permission? Mother said at the top of her voice, slapping me in the face heavily. I look at Mother, dumbfounded…

I walked more slowly, for I had seen my house ahead, where Mother was always standing at the door, smiling at me, at this time every day. But now, she wasnt there. My heard was beating faster. I even didnt dare to open the door for fear that Mother should beat again.

Not knowing what to do, I sat on the ground near the door, blaming myself for what I had done. I was lost in deep agony.

Suddenly a soft hand patted me on the head. I looked up, seeing Mother standing beside me. I couldnt help crying, Mum! tears rolling down my cheeks.

As it is known to us all, there are 55 minority groups in China, each with its traditional customs, costumes and culture. Now let’s take a look at the Tibetan Minority.

The Tibetan Minority group live in Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan Province. And the highest ridge in the world─beautiful and mysterious Tibet is their major habitat .

As the fertilized prairie stretches around the habitants as far as the eyes can see, most people live on animal husbandry, raising sheep, goats, cattle and growing a special kind of plant called Qingke. On account of the unique climate, people often wear warm and comfortable boots in winter, and they are always dressed in delicate robes which are made of the fur of sheep. Often they take off one sleeve of the clothes and tie it around their waists in order to work easily and use it as warm quilts at night.

Both men and women there like wearing silver ornaments, which look very mysterious and full of magical power. And they are good at singing and dancing, and the men there can have braids too. When they meet an important guest, they will present him or her a Hada, a piece of long white silk cloth to show their respect. And they will also treat the guest to a special kind of drink called Suyou Tea, which some people find hard to enjoy.

Besides, the habitants have developed both their own written and spoken languages, and the long poems they wrote play an important role in Chinese literature. And there are many well-protected culture relics as well, taking the grand Budala Palace as an example. It is a historical museum as well as an art treasury, where people can share their spirit belief in Buddhism and get artistic entertainment of the carved paintings and the beautifully-written chirographies.

The Tibetan ethnic group is also famous for its strange custom in funeral. Thinking that the soul belongs to the sky after a person dies, they usually put the body on a platform outdoors, spray on it and wait the condors to come to eat the body. In this way, they believe the soul goes up to the sky.

The Tibetan Minority is brimming over with deep emotions. The people there are very zealous and hospitable and they live freely and happily on the spacious grassland. Their history and culture contribute to the diversity of China, so we certainly should protect them and get them popularized and let them receive great respect they deserve.

There are four key points to study English: listening, speaking, reading

and writing.

Firstly, we should be brave to talk with others in English. By doing this,

we can improve ore talking and listening skill.

Secondly, we should try to listen to all kinds of English programmes as

much as possible. In this way, we can gradually improve our pronunciation.

Thirdly, we should often read English books. When we come across a new

word. We should guess its meaning through the contest first. Then look it up in

the dictionary to have a check. I thin,, it is a good way of reading.

Fourthly, we should practice our writing skills. Whenever we have any idea,

we should get the pen and write it down at once. It is very important to avoid

writing in Chinese way and using the Chinese grammar.

As long as we listen, speak, read and write more, we are sure to make

remarkable progress!

There have been a lot of ways of acquiring knowledge. And the number is

increasing unexpectedly owing to the popularization of modern mass media.

However, reading books has always been the major and convenient approach to

knowledge. One may acquire most of his knowledge through reading books, since

they can be carried easily and read leisurely everywhere at any time. Another

equally important means of acquiring knowledge is through practice, especially

learning from others. It is unlikely for a person to get all-round knowledge by

merely reading books. As a matter of fact, genuine knowledge comes from

practice.

Although books and practice are indispensable to the enrichment of one’s

knowledge, other means shouldn’t be turned aside. With the development of IT

industry, people tend to hunt for knowledge by means of Internet. Internet is

changing people’s traditional approaches to knowledge. It has found its way into

every field of the world.

People native to urban Beijing speak the Beijing dialect, which belongs to

the Mandarin subdivision of spoken Chinese. Beijing dialect is the basis for

Standard Mandarin, the language used in the Peoples Republic of China, the

Republic of China on Taiwan, and Singapore. Rural areas of Beijing Municipality

have their own dialects akin to those of Hebei province, which surrounds Beijing

Municipality.

Beijing Opera, or Peking Opera (Jingju), is well-known throughout the

national capital. Commonly lauded as one of the highest achievements of Chinese

culture, Beijing Opera is performed through a combination of song, spoken

dialogue, and codified action sequences, such as gestures, movement, fighting

and acrobatics. Much of Beijing Opera is carried out in an archaic stage dialect

quite different from modern Standard Mandarin and from the Beijing dialect; this

makes the dialogue somewhat hard to understand, and the problem is compounded if

one is not familiar with Chinese. As a result, modern theaters often have

electronic titles in Chinese and English.

A hutong in eastern Beijing near Dongsishitiao. In this March 2003 photo

the left side was still standing, but it has since given way to new

construction.The Siheyuan is a traditional architectural style of Beijing. A

siheyuan consists of a square housing compound, with rooms enclosing a central

courtyard. This courtyard often contains a pomegranate or other type of tree, as

well as potted flowers or a fish tank. Siheyuans line Hutongs , or alleys, which

connect the interior of Beijings old city. They are usually straight and run

east-to-west so that doorways can face north and south for Feng Shui reasons.

They vary in width — some are very narrow, enough for only a few pedestrians to

pass through at a time.

Once ubiquitous in Beijing, siheyuans and hutongs are now rapidly

disappearing, as entire city blocks of hutongs are leveled and replaced with

high-rise buildings. Residents of the hutongs are entitled to apartments in the

new buildings of at least the same size as their former residences. Many

complain, however, that the traditional sense of community and street life of

the hutongs cannot be replaced. Some particularly historic or picturesque

hutongs are being preserved and restored by the government, especially for the

2008 Olympics. One such example can be seen at Nanchizi.

Mandarin cuisine is the local style of cooking in Beijing. Peking Roast

Duck is perhaps the most well-known dish. The Manhan Quanxi ("Manchu-Han Chinese

full banquet") is a traditional banquet originally intended for the

ethnic-Manchu emperors of the Qing Dynasty; it remains very prestigious and

expensive.

Teahouses are also common in Beijing. Chinese tea comes in many varieties

and some rather expensive types of Chinese tea are said to cure an ailing body

extraordinarily well.

The Jingtailan is a cloisonné metalworking technique and tradition

originating from Beijing, and one of the most revered traditional crafts in

China. Beijing lacquerware is well known for the patterns and images carved into

its surface.

The Fuling Jiabing is a traditional Beijing snack food, a pancake (bing)

resembling a flat disk with filling, made from fu ling (Poria cocos (Schw.)

Wolf, or "tuckahoe"), an ingredient common in traditional Chinese medicine.

During my high school years, I have found chemistry, physics, and mathematics interesting.Actually, I am interested in many subjects such as biology, history, geography, Chinese, and English.But somehow I cannot remember the historical events or the facts about geography in detail. I cannot remember biological terms well, either.On the other hand, chemistry, physics, and mathematics are easy for me because they seem logical to me.After considering my interests and talents I feel that science or engineering might be the best choice for my career.I would like to study science or engineering in college.After graduation from college I hope to go for higher education overseas.Eventually I would like to return to school to teach.This is my career plan.

在我高中的时代，我发现我对化学、物理和数学很感兴趣。事实上，我觉得其他的学科也很有吸引力，如：历史、英语。但是不知何故我不能详细记住历史事件，也不能很好地记住英语单词。相反，化学、物理和数学却容易些因为它们有逻辑性。鉴于我的兴趣所致我感觉到理科或者工科是我未来职业的最好选择。我更愿意在大学里学理科或工科。大学毕业后我希望到海外去继续深造。最后我将回到学校教书。这就是我的事业规划。
