十二月三十，正月初一到正月十五是春节。春节有许多民俗，比如拜年、放鞭炮、拿压岁钱……

春节的来历是因为一个故事。除夕节那天，有个叫年的怪兽来村里捣乱。年的样子很凶猛。这时，有一位老人走进了村子。老婆婆连忙劝他赶紧去山上躲避年兽，可是老人却不紧不慢地说：“你若让我在家呆一夜，我一定会把年赶走的。”半夜时分，年又闯进了村里，发现老婆婆家门口贴着红对联，年吓了一跳。突然，院子里传来了噼里啪啦的鞭炮声，年吓得拔腿就跑。村民们回到村里，看见里面安然无恙，老婆婆向村民们诉说了这一切。那天年被吓跑后，再也没有出现。村民们过着安居乐业的生活。

从此，人们每年春节都要放鞭炮，贴对联……

每年过春节是我最开心的日子，家家户户挂上红红的灯笼，贴上对联，小孩子穿上新衣、大家坐在一起吃团圆饭，最开心的事是放烟花。

我六岁那年春节，吃完团圆饭后，我和弟弟飞快的跑到院子里放烟花，我小心翼翼地用打火机往引线上一碰，我和弟弟就跑，只见烟花空而起飞上天空像一簇菊花，我们的烟花一朵朵炸开，有的好像陀螺一样，在地上转来转去;有的仿佛天女散花似的，在空中撒出五彩的“花朵”;还有的有如天外流星一般，在空中飞驰而过……美丽极了!

如果每天多可以像过春节一样那该多好啊!

The Lunar New Year

The Lunar New Year is a great occasion to the Chinese people。 It lasts about the first four days of the year， during which people do not work except for the workers on duty。 Students do not go to school， and shops are closed。

Several days before the new year， people begin to prepare。 Farmers kill pigs， sheep， cocks and hens。 City dwellers buy meat fish and vegetables。  Houses are cleaned； coupletsare posted on the doors。 Colourful lanterns are hung at the gate。

On the eve of the new year， each family has its members gatherd together and eats a family reunion dinner。 After the meal they watch TV until the clock strickes twelve。 Then every family sets off long strings of small firecrackers and other fire works to wele the new year。 On the first day of the new year， almost everyone is dressed in his or her best。 When people meet on the way， they say to each other "Happy New Year"。 Friends and relatives pay new year calls and gives presents to each other。 Children indulge themselves in games。

示例：

Dear ____,

I am truly sorry that_______(道歉的原因).

The reason is that ______(介绍原因) Once again, I am sorry for any inconvenience caused. Hope you can accept my apologies and understand my situation.

Yours sincerely

Li Ming

The first day is for the welcoming of the deities of the heavens and earth, officially beginning at midnight. Many people, especially Buddhists, abstain from meat consumption on the first day because it is believed that this will ensure longevity for them. Some consider lighting fires and using knives to be bad luck on New Years Day, so all food to be consumed is cooked the day before. For Buddhists, the first day is also the birthday of Maitreya Bodhisattva (better known as the more familiar Budai Luohan), the Buddha-to-be. People also abstain from killing animals.

Most importantly, the first day of Chinese New Year is a time when families visit the oldest and most senior members of their extended family, usually their parents, grandparents or great-grandparents.

Some families may invite a lion dance troupe as a symbolic ritual to usher in the Lunar New Year as well as to evict bad spirits from the premises. Members of the family who are married also give red packets containing cash to junior members of the family, mostly children and teenagers.

While fireworks and firecrackers are traditionally very popular, some regions have banned them due to concerns over fire hazards, which have resulted in increased number of fires around New Years and challenged municipal fire departments work capacity. For this reason, various city governments (e.g., Hong Kong, and Beijing, for a number of years) issued bans over fireworks and firecrackers in certain premises of the city. As a substitute, large-scale fireworks have been launched by governments in cities like Hong Kong to offer citizens the experience.

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.

我们家乡春节别有一番风味，从春节前几天到正月十五，每天都很精彩。

春节前几天，家家都很忙，即使是在贫困的家庭里，这几天也要买很多东西。大人们要买过年的吃的、穿的、喝得、用的——店铺多数过年不开门。小孩子就首先要买爆竹。等到万事俱备，之欠东风时，就盼着春节到来了。

“爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏”,人们盼呀盼终于把春节给盼来了。春节真热闹。大家都要穿新衣，还要贴红红的的对联和吉祥的年画。中午要吃团圆饭，在吃团圆饭前，还要放鞭炮，那天除了万不得已，都要赶回家吃这顿饭。

吃完团圆饭，除夕夜也悄悄地来了。我们这里除夕要守岁，虽然不用守一整夜，但不过十二点不能睡觉。午夜时分，家家都要“除天行”，也就是要放鞭炮，放礼花。漆黑的天空一下子变得亮了起来，好像白天一样，鞭炮声震耳欲聋，经久不绝古老的小镇便洋溢在浓浓的节日氛围中。

正月初一的早上家家都要吃饺子，饺子也叫“元宝”预示着招财进宝。街道也不像以前那样人来人往，车水马龙但不时从门缝里飘出的饭菜香味和人们的欢声笑语诉说着人们的幸福美满。

正月初二要给自己的长辈和亲戚拜年，去时一般会带上一些礼品，表达祝福之意。

正月十五元宵节又是家乡春节期间的一个重要节日，家家都要吃元宵。吃元宵表示我们大家团团圆圆，和和美美。

家乡的春节是快乐的，最快乐的也是我们小孩子了。我们可以拿到许多的压岁钱，又不用做作业，还能自由自在的放鞭炮，每一声震耳欲聋的鞭炮声，都伴随着我们的欢笑。

家乡的春节是快乐的，我爱家乡的春节。
