高三关于清明节的英语作文【汇集20篇】

In contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers people also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. The Qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times people have followed the custom of Spring outings. At this time tourists are everywhere.

People love to fly kites during the Qingming Festival. Kite flying is actually not limited to the Qingming Festival. Its uniqueness lies in that people fly kites not during the day but also at night. A string of little lanterns tied onto the kite or the thread look like shining stars and therefore are called "god‘s lanterns."

The Qingming Festival is also a time to plant trees for the survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast later. In the past the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But since 1979 "Arbor Day" was settled as March 12 according to the Gregorian calendar.

相反的悲伤的墓扫墓，人们也希望享受春天的这一天。清明节是一个阳光灿烂的日子，树和草都变绿了，大自然又恢复了活力。自古以来，人们都有踏青的习俗。此时到处是游客。

人们喜欢在清明节期间放风筝。风筝放飞其实并不限于清明节。它的独特之处在于人们在白天不放风筝，晚上也放风筝。一串串的小灯笼拴在风筝上或是线上看起来像闪亮的星星，因此被称为“上帝的灯笼”。

清明节也是一个植树的时候，树苗的成活率很高，树木生长快。在过去，清明节被称为“植树节”。但自1979以来，“植树节”定在3月12日根据公历。

春节

农历新年对中国人来说是个很重要的节日。它大约要持续4天，在这期间，除了值班人员外，人们都放假了。工人不开工，学生上不学，商店关门。

新年前几天人们就开始准备。农民们宰杀猪、鸡、羊。城市居民买肉、鱼、蔬菜。人们打扫房子，贴对联，挂彩灯。

新年除夕，各家各户围坐在一起吃团圆饭。饭后，人们看电视，到了午夜12点，在这辞旧迎新的时刻，人们燃放各种烟花炮竹来庆祝。新年第一天，即正月初一，所有的人都穿着最漂亮的衣服，路上相遇，互相道“新年好”，亲戚朋友拜年互赠礼物，孩子们尽情地玩耍。

今天，是一个不同寻常的日子。再过100天，我们将迎来2022年高考。我们9.3的全体同学，就要结束紧张而美好的初中生活，去迎接人生的挑战了，我们似乎已能看到那场没有硝烟的战斗，仿佛闻到了剑拔弩张的火药味。在这个特殊的日子里，我班今天召开高考冲刺百日倒计时班会，目的是为我们学生加油、呐喊、助威。如果把初中三年的学习比作一次一千米的长跑，那么现在已跑过最后一个弯道，距终点只有百米之遥了，在这有限的时间里，我们全体的老师一定倾其所有，助你们扬帆远航。一百天的时间内，也许我们对你们有更苛刻的要求，更艰苦的训练，更严厉的批评，但我们相信大家能够理解，这一切，都是为了大家能够出类拔萃，为了大家能够有所作为……

同学们，现在已经到了高考倒计时的紧要关头了。在今后的日子里，我们每个同学都要放下包袱，静下心来，发扬奋力拼搏、永不言败的精神，不抛弃、不放弃，师生共同努力，全身心地奋战高考，考出满意的成绩!

同学们：关键时刻，头脑一定要清醒，只有100天了。高考与我们距离将越来越近，要在自己心中竖立一块倒计时牌，要有紧迫感和危机感，要一门心思扑到学习上，将全部精力、全部时间用到学习上。干扰大目标的任何想法、任何行为都要坚决排除。帮助你成功的任何建议、任何批评都要悉心倾听。总之，就是从现在开始，戒除一切与学习与高考无关的活动，全身心地投入到学习当中去。希望同学们以对自己一生负责、对家长负责的态度，自觉管好自己的每一天，无悔于自己的每一天。

同学们，花无百日红，青春不重在，从这一刻起，为了父母那殷殷期盼地心情，为了老师那充满期待的目光，我们要努力;为了那使人向往地高一级学校，为了使自己的人生更加地丰富充实，我们要努力;为了一切关心我们、爱护我们，给我们以帮助的所有的人，为了自己的未来，我们要努力!我们要认真地对待剩下的每一分每一秒，我们要努力地去谱写一页，一页属于自己的辉煌篇章。

珍惜100天，让父母恩师在六月获得期望;奋斗100天，让雄心智慧在六月发出光芒;拼搏100天，让飞翔的梦在六月张开翅膀。

清明，是我国二十四个节气之一。按阳历来说，它是在每年的 4月4日至6日之间。古人很重视这个节气。作为节气，清明时期正是我国大部地区，万木凋零的寒冬已经过去，风和日丽，莺飞草长，柳绿桃红，生机勃勃故称之为清明。首先，这个节气与农业生产有密切的关系，农谚说：“清明前后，点瓜种豆”， 正是春耕播种的大好季节。其次，清明也是祭祖和扫墓的日子。唐代诗人杜牧的诗云：“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。借问酒家何处有?牧童遥指杏花村。”写出了清明节的特殊气氛。扫墓俗称上坟，祭祀死者的一种活动。汉族和一些少数民族大多都是在清明节扫墓。

清明祭祖扫墓，是中华民族慎终追远、敦亲睦族及行孝品德的具体表现。自古以来，清明扫墓不光是纪念自己的祖先，对历史上为人民立过功，做过好事的人物，人民都会纪念他。本周四，

我怀着崇敬的心情, 到少年宫认真观看了解了烈士事迹，为这些伟大的英雄献上亲手制作的千纸鹤。通过这次活动，我更加深刻地感受到我们现在的幸福生活来之不易，是革命先烈用宝贵的生命与鲜血换来的，还要珍惜现在的大好时光，长大后报效祖国，成为祖国的栋梁!

【延伸阅读】清明节风俗

1) 扫墓

清明时节祭扫祖坟(俗称"上坟")。无锡的传统民俗较有代表性。扫墓时要挑些新士壅坟茔，而且凡新坟一定要在清明前祭扫，旧坟可以过清明.但不能过立夏。新媳妇一定要去祭扫祖坟，俗称"上花坟"。扫墓时用荤、素菜肴和酒、饭等祭奠。后用干果糕点等替代。 时至今日，在烈士陵园缅怀革命先烈成为清明节里很重要的内容，在祭炎黄二祖、悼念自己的先祖的同时，缅怀先烈的丰功伟绩，使今天的清明活动具有了更重要的教育意义。

2) 踏青

清明时节，气候温暖和煦，大地皆春，处处鲜花嫩草，一片生机盎然，人们纷纷外出踏青。在无锡，踏青的最好场所莫过于惠山。不上惠山的，上城墙绕城而走，叫登高踏青。东门东林庵一带，为士女聚集处，故有"东林庵里看桃花"的说法。这天，也是东乡胶山和北乡斗山的节场，附近还有赛会，故斗山别名清明山。人们都上山踏青，赶节场，观看赛会。从元宵节至清明节，大人孩子，三五成群，到野外放凤筝，别有情趣。

3) 门旁插柳和戴柳枝帽

清明节那天，有家家门口插柳条的风俗。在一些地区，还流行小孩带柳枝帽的风俗。

门旁插柳和戴柳枝帽习俗的来源也是根据介子椎的传说。据说，介子椎是死在柳树下面的。介子椎死后的第二年晋文公率领群臣到绵山致祭，一行人先在山下寒食一日，第二天才上山。那棵柳树，已经长出了翠绿的嫩条。晋文公看了，心中忽有所感，便走上前去，掐了一丝，编成一个圈儿带在头上。随从的臣下看了,也纷纷仿效他折柳插头。晋文公便把这棵柳树赐名为清明柳，把这一天定为清明节。

Finally, we have arrived at the expected May Day holiday. You must have

done a lot of things in this holiday. Look at what Ive done!

The first thing: tidy up a room (also called a cleaning). I want to put the

books in my house! Toys! Everything was done, so I started with my dad. Im

going to take all the books out first and classify them. My classification is

this: first put the extracurricular books, second textbooks put half half

lattice magazine, third all magazines, fourth put notebook, put the fifth cram

things, sixth to my dad put things, seventh squares to put papers and file

pouches, eighth all comics. In addition to this, I also put the toy for a while,

and my dad swept the room.

The second thing: buy a bag. Because my dad saw my bag rotten, I went to

buy a new one with me. After seeing the supermarket for a long time, we saw a

nice schoolbag at last. I didnt know it. I didnt know it. When I saw it, I

needed 208 yuan for it. Finally, my dad and I were going to buy a bag on the

Taobao net. It was cheap, plus 10 yuan for freight, only 79 yuan. So its

cheaper to buy online.

Third things: flowers. Dad and I are going to buy some flowers on the

shelf, then go to the flower shop flowers. I look left, right look, finally to

buy a pot Name: "drop water Guanyin" flowers.

Although the cleaning is very tired, it embodies the happiness of labor

day.

in recent years, more and more migrant workers have moved into big cities and they have been ma-ki-ng great contributions to the development of cities. new buildings need them, roads cant be repaired without them, and the planting and protecting of trees and flowers depend on them. indeed, they play an important role in the construction of cities in china today.

however, they have brought about some problems. the biggest one is the increase of the city population. the once crowded cities have now become more crowded. and their arrival may cause a serious crisis in housing, water and other resources. in addition, they have taken so many jobs that the labor market in cities has become even weaker. whats more, some of the farmland is left uncultivated as a result of the farmers emigration.

in my opinion, migrant workers contributions outweigh the inconveniences they bring us. on the whole, they have become an important part of our socialist builders. nevertheless, the government should work out new policies to control the emigration of farmers on the one hand and to protect migrant workers rights and interests on the other hand.

全国卷英语作文最后几天的备考资料。备考目的性、指导性、猜押性都很强。最后几天一定

要看的。

一、全国卷书面表达分析

2015全国I：应用文、写信约稿、介绍美节日风俗和中学生生活。

2015全国II：应用文、邮件邀约、去敬老院陪老人过重阳节。

2012课标卷：应用文、写邮件、申请参加夏令营

2012大纲卷：应用文、邀请信、邀请外教参加生日聚会

二、综上分析，干货如下：

1.都是应用文。

注意生活、学习、交友三大话题。有些作文也许会跨其中两个话题。凡是不符合这三个话题

的作文，高考最后这10几天少复习，甚至不复习的好。地震、环保、食品安全、雾霾、河流

空气污染、交通拥挤、良心道德、服不服等等的高大上，都抛弃吧（这些都是大学作文解决

的问题）。所以与学生生活、学习、交友相关的词汇、句式还是好好总结的。

3.渗透传统文化的元素。

传统文化：2015II重阳节、2013中国画。

这方面的词汇还是要适当准备一些滴。例如：paper cutting 剪纸，Lantern Festival 元

s Eve 除夕，Dragon Boat Festival 龙舟节，DoubleNinth Festival 重阳节, Chinese tea

I am glad to learn that you are coming to China and will stay at my home.

My parents and I are very pleased to have you with us. Now let me tell you what we have arranged for you. As far as I know, you will be shown around the school in the morning, but in the afternoon I’ll take you to the downtown and then some places of interest. We’ll mostly stay at home in the evening watching TV, playing games, or meeting people. I’m sure you will have a wonderful time and learn more about Chinese culture.

I’m looking forward very much to meeting you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Liu Fang

Passage5（生活、文化）

假设你是高三（1）班的学生李华。你的英国朋友Chris八月份来北京度假，来信向你咨询如

"Rains fall heavily as qingming comes, and passers-by with lowered spirits go......" This solar term of year, we will be in my heart silently reciting the poet tu mus poem in tang dynasty, to express our ancestors thoughts.

This day, we will come to grave, placed a bouquet of flowers, burn some paper money, and wishing you so as to express our loved ones, and in my heart silently pray for them, bless them in heaven can also like us, on the other side of the happiness and lived happily. At this point, we can not help but think of them once and those days we spent together, I can remember all those pictures as if thought of these, I burst into tears.

Spring scenery greeted my eyes in the distance, the birds singing in the spring of sonata, creamy TaoGongLiuLu, golden rape, "shoots" blowing leaves fall, green shoots out long, everywhere is a piece of the scene of spring, all things recovery, which is a season full of expectations and wishes. Tomb-sweeping day, let us in such a special day, we in the memory of the past and at the same time, also want to the future full of hope, cherish life, let oneself life more meaningful, dont use such a beautiful life. Also have a new understanding of the life, let oneself every day was honest, such ability will not let myself regret, and live up to others.

“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂……”每年的这个节气，我们都会在心里默默地吟诵这首唐代诗人杜牧的诗句，来表达我们对先人的思念之情。

这一天，我们会来到墓前，放置一束鲜花，烧上一些纸钱，借以表达我们对亲人的思念和祝福，并在心里默默地为他们祈祷，祝福他们在天堂的那一边也能够和我们一样，幸福和快乐地生活着。此时，我们不禁会想起他们曾经和我们共同度过的那些岁月，那些画面仿佛还历历在目，想到这些，我不禁潸然泪下。

远处春的景色映入了我的眼帘，鸟儿唱着春天的奏鸣曲，漫山的桃红柳绿，遍地金黄的油菜花，“嫩芽吹叶落”，绿油油的嫩芽长了出来，到处是一片春意盎然、万物复苏的景象，这是一个充满期望和祝福的季节。清明时节，让我们在这样一个特殊的日子里，我们在缅怀过去的同时，也要对未来充满希望，珍惜生命，让自己的生命更有意义，不要虚度了这样一个美好的人生。还要对生命有一个重新的认识，让自己的每一天都充充实实的，这样才会不让自己遗憾，并且对得起他人。

We are living in one of those periods in human history which are marked by

recolutionary changes in all of mans ideas and values. It is a time when every

one of us must look within himself to find what ideas, what beliefs, and what

ideals each of us will live by. And unless we find these ideals,and unless we

stand by them firmly, we have no power to overcome the crisis in which we in our

world find ourselves.

I believe in people, in sheer, unadulterated humanity, I believe in

listening to what people have to say, in helping them to achieve the things

which they want and the things which they need. Naturally,there are people who

behave like beasts, who kill,who cheat, who lie and who destroy. But without a

belief in man and a faith in his possibilities for the future, there can be no

hope for the future, but only bitterness that the past has gone.

I believe we must, each of us, make a philosophy by which we can live.

There are people who make a philosophy out of believing in nothing. They say

there is no truth,that goodness is simply cleverness in disguising your own

selfishness. They say that life is simply the short gap in between an unpleasant

birth and an inevitable death. There are others who say that man is born into

evil and sinfulness and that life is a process of purification through suffering

and that death is the reward for having suffered.There are others who say that

man is a kind of machine which operates according to certain laws, and that if

you can learn the laws and seize the power to manipulate the machine, you can

make man behave automatically to serve whatever ends you have in mind.

I believe these philosophies are false. The most important thing in life is

the way it is lived,and there is no such thing as an abstract happiness,an

abstract goodness or morality, or an abstract anything,except in terms of the

person who believes and who acts. There is only the single human being who lives

and who, through every moment of his own personal living experience, is being

happy or unhappy,noble or base, wise or unwise, or simply existing.

The question is: How can these individual moments of human experience be

filled with the richness of a philosophy which can sustain the individual in his

own life?Unless we give part of ourselves away,unless we can live with other

people and understand them and help them,we are missing the most essential part

of our own human lives. The fact that the native endowment of the young mind is

one of liberalismand confidence in the powers of man for good is the basis of my

philosophy.And if only man can be given a free chance to use his powers, this

philosophy will result in a boundless flow of vital energy and a willingness to

try new things,combined with a faith in the future.

There are as many roads to the attainment of wisdom and goodness as there

are people who undertaketo walk them.There are as many solid truths on which we

can stand as there are people who can search them out and who will stand on

them. There are as many ideas and ideals as there are men of good will who will

hold them in their minds and act them in their lives.

As known as we all,education is important in modern society.Everyone ought

to be educated.So the teaching become more and more necessary,expecially the

college teaching.

China,like many other countries in the world,adapts written or oral

examination as the only way to measure a student’s school work.It seems that the

aim of school education is to achieve the temeness of students for society

rather than to cultivate the unique minds for the individuals.But we must

know,the school should to teaching the methods of learning,but not many

formulas.

Besides,most of school in china always think studying more important than

other activities,which is a wrong view.Obviously,active participation in school

activities can better our health as well as our study.Students need not only

work hard on their studies,but also often join the school various activities.The

most important is school should to make proper arrangements of physical

recreation and intellectual activities to enrich the school life,improve the

student’s comprehensive quality.

每年的公历四月五日前后为清明节，是二十四节气之一。今年的清明节是4月4日。在二十四个节气中，既是节气又是节日的只有清明。清明节是我国传统节日，也是最重要的祭祀节日。按照旧的习俗，祭祀(扫墓)时，人们要携带酒食果品、纸钱等物品到墓地，将食物供祭在亲人墓前，再将纸钱焚化，为坟墓培上新土，折几枝嫩绿的新枝插在坟上，然后叩头行礼祭拜，最后吃掉酒食回家。清明节，又叫踏青节，正是春光明媚草木吐绿的时节，也正是人们春游的好时候，所以古人有清明踏青，并开展一系列体育活动的的习俗。直到今天，清明节祭拜祖先，悼念已逝的亲人的习俗仍很盛行。

Celebrated two weeks after the vernal equinox， Tomb Sweeping Day is one of the few traditional Chinese holidays that follows the solar calendar-- typically falling on April 4， 5， or 6.

Its Chinese name "Qing Ming" literally means "Clear Brightness，" hinting at its importance as a celebration of Spring. Similar to the spring festivals of other cultures， Tomb Sweeping Day celebrates the rebirth of nature， while marking the beginning of the planting season and other outdoor activities.

Qing Ming Jiein Ancient Times

An old man takes one last look before leaving the City Cemetery at Biandanshan of Wuhan， Central Chinas Hubei Province.In ancient times， people celebrated Qing Ming Jie with dancing， singing， picnics， and kite flying. Colored boiled eggs would be broken to symbolize the opening of life. In the capital， the Emperor would plant trees on the palace grounds to celebrate the renewing nature of spring. In the villages， young men and women would court each other.

The Tomb Sweeping Day as Celebrated Today

With the passing of time， this celebration of life became a day to the honor past ancestors. Following folk religion， the Chinese believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and spirit money could keep them happy， and the family would prosper through good harvests and more children.

Today， Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush that has grown. Weeds are pulled， and dirt swept away， and the family will set out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a familys home altar， the offerings at the tomb usually consist of

dry， bland food. One theory is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area， the less appealing food will be consumed by the ancestors， and not be plundered by strangers.

Honoring Ancestors

Honoring ancestors begins with proper positioning of a gravesite and coffin. Experts in feng shui， or geomancy， determine the quality of land by the surrounding aspects of streams， rivers， trees， hills， and so forth. An area that faces south， with groves of pine trees creates the best flow of cosmic energy required to keep ancestors happy. Unfortunately， nowadays， with Chinas burgeoning population， public cemetaries have quickly surplanted private gravesites. Family elders will visit the gravesite at least once a year to tend to the tombs.

While bland food is placed by the tombs on Qing Ming Jie， the Chinese regularly provide scrumptious offerings to their ancestors at altar tables in their homes. The food usually consists of chicken， eggs， or other dishes a deceased ancestor was fond of. Accompanied by rice， the dishes and eating utensils are carefully arranged so as to bring good luck. Sometimes， a family will put burning incense with the offering so as to expedite the transfer of nutritious elements to the ancestors. In some parts of China， the food is then eaten by the entire family.Kites

Besides the traditions of honoring the dead， people also often fly kits on Tomb Sweeping Day. Kites can come in all kinds of shapes， sizes， and colors. Designs could include frogs， dragonflies， butterflies， crabs， bats，and storks.

I am not fond of basketball,let alone to play it.But I have seen a

wonderful basketball game between my class and postgraduate class.It is so

wonderful that I cannt help asking myself "Is it real".The answer is pretty

yes.I also learn a lot from the game.

First ,teamwork is very important.You are sure to fail if you play by

yourself.So five members must play together and well orgnized.Second ,you should

have a aim.In order to reach it,you should try your best.

Last,never give up whatever have happened.Even if you get low scores,you

shouldnt give up.If there is a will,there is a way.If there is a will ,there is

also a opportunity.And you can make failure into success.Believe yourself and

believe your team.You are the best one.

I always care so much about the food I eat, because my stomach is a little

week, so I can’t eat the junk food all the time. The healthy food makes me keep

fit so I eat it. Vegetable is very important, we should eat it every meal. The

fruit contains a lot of vitamins, it is in need. The fish is best for me.

Get up this morning, our family is happy New Year to each other.I finished

the accumulation, I went out to play to play.One out of the door, I saw

thousands of sunshine like a sword, Pierce the atmosphere, shine on the earth, I

think maybe because today is New Years day, the sky grandpa make the weather is

sunny today.Look at the sky, blue, bright and clean, like a transparent mirror

thick, white clouds, the clouds like cotton, like waves, hung on the day side,

compose the day over there, the sky is decorated picturesque.Look ahead, both

sides stood door lifelike stone lions, a big mouth, staring at two pair of big

eyes, power and grandeur, like two soldiers on guard, they are one male, one

female, male feet standing on a ball, like to play there, female foot stepped on

a small lion, like to look after their children there.Evening, mother asked me

to take a bath, I cant help but ask: "why the Chinese New Year will take a

shower?"Mother said: "New Years day to wash them clean, can have a good year,

next year there will be a good one million."Finished washing bath, I looked out

of the window, multicolored fireworks straight up into the sky, blossom in mid

air, like a peacock, such as split again.A moment is in red, like peach apricot

flowers rained, for a while, and all over the sky, golden like the harvest rice

is scattered all over the sky.

Finished watching the fireworks, I fell asleep.

“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂……”时间过得飞快，一年一度的清明节有到了。清明节又称踏青节，在这一天，人们要带酒食果品，纸钱到墓地去悼念已逝的亲人。

今年的清明这一天，天气特别好，可不像诗句上说的那样。那天我起了个大早，因为我们一家人要一起去扫太爷爷的坟。刚出门时，感觉心情特别好，一路上蹦蹦跳跳的，像刚出笼的小鸟，因为这是我第一次上山扫墓。可从大人的表情上看，可没我这么高兴，也许是去扫墓的原因吧。

在山脚下，我觉得和别的上没什么两样，可到了半山腰可就不一样了。那里杂草丛生，杂草高出了我一个头。走着走着，我们来到了太爷爷的坟墓前，在坟墓的周围到处是一些树枝和杂草，它们仿佛懂得扫墓人的心情似的没有生机。

我们先是把坟墓的周围的草除一除，接着在坟墓上用些小泥块压上黄纸，摆上供品，点上香，我们轮流给太爷爷磕头。爷爷在坟前念念有词，报告着这一年来家里的大事，还请太爷爷保佑全家大小平安。我想：在此长眠的太爷爷一定听到了我们的话的，他一定感到欣慰，一定会保佑我们的……

最后，我们在坟墓前的空地上把带来的纸钱烧了，等烧完了还用带来的水灭了火星。因为太爷爷坟前有一座凉亭，我们就坐在凉亭里吃东西。爷爷还把吃完的蛋壳撒在坟墓上，我好奇地问：“爷爷，为什么要这样呢?”爷爷说：“表示祖先和我们在一起啊!”死人明明就在这嘛，怎么会和我们在一起呢?也许他活在爷爷的心中吧!我似懂非懂地点点头……最后爸爸再检查了一遍，我们就下山了。

在下山的路上，我们有说有笑，心情非常轻松。回来时我想：原来清明节是表示对先人的怀念日，也是家庭团聚，也是踏青赏春的好机会。

今年的清明节我过得特别有意义，明年我一定再来扫墓。
