今天是晴空万里，没有风的日子。

早上我练习篮球，然后和珊蒂一起去看电影，它真是一部相当好的的片子。 所有歌曲中我最喜欢"说你，说我"。 我喜欢卡们歌舞片，舞蹈十分美妙，而音乐也很好听。

Although it is "dog day playing lanterns, so" year after year, we do, however, still like the Chinese New Year, because of the delicious dumplings, have the beautiful clothes, there are a lot of lucky money...

Lunar calendar from New Years day, however, there are two days, but the Gregorian calendar has been finished after the New Year, so, were only a few steps away from the winter holiday, therefore, we have been looking forward to the New Year. Why is that?

Good grades, the comprehensive development of students parents give them money to buy a few small things ah, small stationery, etc. Of the students dont study, teacher will give them a few words of encouragement, such as "next year will be a good learning" "dont annoy the teacher next year" "thats ok, you work hard," and so on; Teacher, want to let us test out, then let us be happy, happy go home.

虽然是“犬年初一打灯笼——年年如此”，可是我们呢，依然喜欢过年，因为有那好吃的饺子，有那好看的新衣，还有很多压岁钱……

不过，阴历离过年还有二十几天，可是阳历已经过完新年了，所以嘛，离寒假也只有几步之遥，因此，我们已经盼望着新年了。为什么?

成绩好、全面发展的同学的家长会给他们买一些小玩意呀、小文具呀等等;学习不好的同学呢，老师也会给他们几句鼓励的话，如“明年一定好好学习”“明年不要惹老师生气了”“没事，你努力了”等;老师呢，希望让我们考满分，然后让我们快快乐乐、高高兴兴的回家去。自己也就放心了。

老师让我们复习了，我们复习都很积极向上，因为毕竟要考试了，新年也要考个好成绩，各回各家，各找各妈，所以我们复习的进度很快，一天就可以复习几课。

我想象着：新年那天，人们家外边放着鞭炮，我们回到家里，拿着满分的卷子，吃那香喷喷的饺子，拜年后，找一个最大的口袋……干什么呀?拿压岁钱呗!

我喜欢新年，因为它是一年的开始，因为它是崭新的日出;因为它是一轮新明月，因为它是……

If you choose only to complain and escaperom the ordeal, it will always follow you wherever you go. But if you decide to be strong, the hardship will turn out to be a fortune on which new hopes will arise.

He lost his arms in an accident that claimed his fathers life—who was the main source of support for the family. Since then, he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother. For the sake of taking care of him, his younger brother became his shadow, never leaving him alone for years. Except for writing with his toes, he was completely unable to do anything in his life.

One late night, he suffered from diarrhea and had to wake up his younger brother. His younger brother accompanied him into the toilet and then went back the dorm to wait. But being so tired, his younger brother fell asleep, leaving him on the toilet for two hours till the teacher on duty discovered him. As the two brothers grew up together, they had their share of problems and they would often quarrel. Then one day, his younger brother wanted to live separate from him, living his own life, as many normal people do. So he was heart-broken and didnt know what to do.

A similar misfortune befell a girl, too. One night her mother, who suffered from chronic mental illness disappeared. So her father went out looking for her mother, leaving her alone at home. She tried to prepare meals for her parents, only to overturn the kerosene light on the stove, resulting in a fire which took her hands away.

Though her elder sister who was studying in another city, showed her willingness to take care of her, she was determined to be completely independent. At school, she always studied hard. Most of all she learned to be self-reliant. Once she wrote the following in her composition: "I am lucky. Though I lost my arms, I still have legs; I am lucky. Though my wings are broken, my heart can still fly."

One day, the boy and the girl were both invited to appear on a television interview program. The boy told the TV host about his uncertain future at being left on his own, whereas the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life. They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes. The boy wrote: My younger brothers arms are my arms;while the girl wrote: Broken wings, flying heart.

They had both endured the same ordeal, but their different attitudes determined the nature of their lives. It is true that life is unpredictable. Disasters can strike at any time. How you handle misfortune when confronted with it, is the true test of your character. If you choose only to complain and escape from the ordeal, it will always follow you wherever you go. But if you decide to be strong, the hardship will turn out to be a fortune on which new hopes will arise.

翻译：

面对苦难，如果选择抱怨与逃避，苦难就永远如影随形;但如果选择坚强，苦难便会化作甘泉，滋润美好的希望。

在一次事故中，作为家中顶梁柱的父亲永远地离去了，他也因此失去了双手。从此弟弟的手便成了他的手。为了照顾他，弟弟从小到大总是形影不离地跟在他的身边，他除了学会了用脚趾头写字做作业外，生活上完全不能自理。

有一次，他因肠胃不好，半夜起来要上厕所，于是他叫醒了弟弟。弟弟帮着他进了厕所后，就回宿舍躺下了。由于太劳累，弟弟闭上眼就睡着了。结果他在厕所里等了整整两个小时，才被查夜的老师发现。慢慢长大了的两兄弟也有了烦恼和争执，有一天弟弟终于提出要离开他，因为弟弟要和很多正常人一样需要过自己的生活。为此，他很伤心，不知如何是好。

无独有偶，另一个女孩也有着同样的遭遇。因为妈妈长期患有精神病，在一天晚上无故出走，爸爸去找妈妈了，家中便只留下她一人。她决定做好饭菜等爸爸妈妈回来吃，却不小心将灶台上的煤油灯打翻，结果双手便被大火夺走了。

虽然在外地读书的姐姐愿意照顾她，可倔强的她一定要自己照顾自己。在学校，她不但读书认真，更重要的是她学会了生活自理。她曾在一篇英作文里写道：我幸福，虽然断了双手，但我还拥有一双脚;我幸福，虽然翅膀断了，但心也要飞翔……

有一天，他们被一家电视台邀请到了演播室。面对主持人，男孩表现出了对前途的迷茫，而女孩则对生活充满了热情。主持人要求他们分别在一张白纸上写一句话。他们分别用脚趾头夹起了笔，男孩写的是：“弟弟的手便是我的手。”女孩却写下了：“翅膀断了，心也要飞翔。”

他们俩都经受了同样的苦难，但不同的人生态度却决定了其生活的本质。是的，人生多变幻，苦难总是在不知不觉中骤然降临。如何应对苦难，是对你的性格的真正考验。面对苦难，如果选择抱怨与逃避，苦难就永远如影随形;但如果选择坚强，苦难便会化作甘泉，滋润美好的希望。

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, the largest airport and the major international airport in the state, is located in Arizona. So we don’t need to be worried about the transportation problems. By the way, Arizona’s public transit system is well-developed.

凤凰城天港国际机场是最大的机场也是国家主要的国际机场，位于美国亚利桑那州。所以我们不必担心交通问题。顺便说一下，亚利桑那州的公共运输系统也发展得很好。

我很高兴你会来北京学习中文。中国是非常有益的，许多外国人正在学习，现在。这很难为你，因为它是相当的英语不同。你要记住尽可能多的中国话。同样重要的是做一些阅读和写作。你可以看电视，听广播练习你的听力。你最好不要谈论与中国人民。你可以学习汉语，不仅从书本上，而且从你周围的人。如果您有任何问题，请问我。我敢肯定你会学好中文。

My parents and I have posted the Spring Festival couplets, and grandpa and grandma are cutting meat and chopping meat in the kitchen for a big feast. The family is full of festive fun!

My familys annual dinner division of labor cooperation, each division of responsibility. Grandma is the chief designer, responsible for scheduling and cooking. For the New Years eve grandma would take out a set of fine new tableware in the cupboard. Grandpa helps grandma with the small work, in charge of buying the side dishes, the dressing, the oil salt sauce vinegar, the POTS and pans. I was responsible for "stealing", and after cooking, I always used the salty excuse of the dish to steal the good food.

I was dazzled by my grandmothers command and conduct, and at six o clock in the evening, our dinner was officially started, and the dishes were served with a delicious array of flavors and fragrances. Among them, braised fish, beanhead and water celery are our must-eat dishes, which means more than one year, which means peace and passepartout. This year, I made my first appearance, and I raised my glass to grandpa and grandma happiness as immense as the Eastern Sea, live as long as the southern mountain.

While everyone was having a good time, grandpa suddenly asked me a question, "why should we have dinner?" After listening, I was dumbfounded. I didnt know how to answer. When grandma saw that I couldnt answer, she laughed and said a legend, "legend has it that gao Yang had three sons who became a plague after his death. Two of them lived on the edge of the river, but one lived in a corner of the house, and they came out to scare the children on New Years eve. Because fire could drive away evil, people would burn the fire on New Years eve, and when the family was reunited, the plague would not come out and disturb the children. There is also a family dinner and gossip, and everyone talk about the unforgettable things they have met outside, and let the family share it. "Oh, theres a saying in the old dinner." I clap my hands happily.

Our family reunion dinner to eat until at eight o clock in the evening, grandma said: "China central television (CCTV) began to play the Spring Festival gala, I wish the big rabbit year good luck, healthy and happy, here we go to see the Spring Festival gala."

On New Years eve, our family had a very happy New Years dinner in a warm atmosphere.

“过年啰！过大年啰！”在孩子们的欢声笑语中将要迎来“兔”年，处处是一片喜气洋洋。我和爸爸妈妈一起贴春联，爷爷和奶奶在厨房切菜剁肉准备丰盛的年夜饭，家中充满了节日的欢乐！

我家的年夜饭分工合作，各司其责。奶奶是总设计师，负责人员调度和做菜。为了年夜饭奶奶会把柜子里的一套精美的新餐具拿出来用。爷爷帮奶奶打小工，负责买配菜、买调料、拿油盐酱醋、锅碗瓢盆。我嘛，就负责“偷吃”，菜做好后，我总以尝尝菜的咸淡为借口，来偷吃做好的菜。

在奶奶的指挥和操持下，晚上六点整我们的年夜大餐正式开始，一盘盘色香味俱全、香喷喷的饭菜端上桌来，我看得眼花缭乱。其中红烧鱼、安豆头、水芹菜是我们必吃的菜，寓意着年年有余，平平安安和路路通。今年还是我第一个出场，我端起酒杯祝愿爷爷奶奶福如东海，寿比南山。祝愿爸爸和妈妈身体健康，笑口常开，工作顺利；爷爷奶奶祝我学习进步，爸爸妈妈祝我身体健康，天天好心情，“干杯！干杯”

正在大家都吃得高兴的时候，爷爷突然提出了一个问题问我说：“我们为什么要吃年夜饭呢？”我听了后，目瞪口呆，不知如何回答。奶奶见我回答不出来，就笑着说了一个传说：“传说高阳氏有三个儿子，死后都变成了疫鬼。两个居住在江边，一个却住在人家屋内的角落里，专门在除夕夜里出来吓唬小孩子。由于火可以驱邪，人们便在除夕夜里燃烧炉火，再加上家人团聚，疫鬼就不敢出来惊扰小孩子了。还有，一家人一面吃年夜饭，一面闲话家常，每人都谈谈自己在外面所遇到的难忘的事情，让家人共同分享。“哦，原来吃年夜饭还有这种说法呢。”我高兴的拍手叫好。

我家的年夜饭一直吃到晚上八点钟，奶奶说：“中央电视台开始播放春节联欢晚会了，我祝大家兔年交好运，健康又快乐，下面大家一起去看春节联欢晚会。”

今年除夕，我们一家在温馨的气氛中，吃了一顿非常开心的年夜饭。

Halloween (or Halloween) is an annual holiday observed on October 31, which commonly includes activities such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

History

Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summers end".Snap-Apple Night (1832) by Daniel Maclise.Depicts apple bobbing and divination games at a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland.The name Halloween and many of its present-day traditions derive from the Old English era.

The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day.[4] Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.

11月1日 -- 万圣节 All Saints Day

11月2日 -- 墨西哥的鬼节 Day of Death

万圣节(All Saints Day, All Hallows Day或Hallowmas) 是每年11月1日的欧美大节日。

Halloween 是 All Hallows Eve 的缩写，万圣节前夜的意思，指10月31日的晚上。

For thousands of years people have been celebrating different holidays and festivals at the end of October. The Celts celebrated it as Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”, with “sow” rhyming with cow)。 The Irish English dictionary published by the Irish Texts Society defines the word as follows:

“Samhain, All Hallowtide, the feast of the dead in Pagan and Christian times, signalizing the close of harvest and the initiation of the winter season, lasting till May, during which troops (esp. the Fiann) were quartered. Faeries were imagined as particularly active at this season. From it the half year is reckoned. also called Feile Moingfinne (Snow Goddess)。(1) The Scottish Gaelis Dictionary defines it as ”Hallowtide. The Feast of All Soula. Sam + Fuin = end of summer.“(2) Contrary to the information published by many organizations, there is no archaeological or literary evidence to indicate that Samhain was a deity. The Celtic Gods of the dead were Gwynn ap Nudd for the British, and Arawn for the Welsh. The Irish did not have a ”lord of death“ as such.

The Celts believed that every year on the last day of October, the souls of the dead visited the earth.www.

When the Romans conquered the Celts in the first century A.D., they added parts of their festivals, Feralia and Pomona to the tradition. Feralia was a festival to honor the dead and Pomona was a harvest festival named after the goddess of fruit (apples) and trees.

Around the eigth century, the Christian church made November 1 All Saints Day to honor all of the saints that didnt have a special day of their own. Over the years these festivals combined, the mass held on All Saints Day was called Allhallowmas (the mass of all Hallows - saintly people)。 The night before was known as All Hallows Eve. Eventually this name became Halloween.

In the 1800s, as a lot of people emigrated to the U.S., the holidays and traditions of different cultures merged. Halloween was not always a happy time. October 31, or the night before took on other names. Some called it Devils or Hell night, to others it was mischief night. Here in Vermont, the night before is called cabbage night. To some people this became a time to play tricks on others. Some of these tricks were not fun at all. Luckily, community groups and individuals took action and started to change Halloween into a family event. Dressing up in costumes and going ”trick or treating“, costume parades, community parties and Fall festivals are some of the ways that Halloween is celebrated today.

Other countries have different Fall festivals to honor the deceased.

The Festival of the Dead is one of the most important happenings in both Palermo and the rest of Sicily. The second of November is a festival day for the children of Palermo as, according to tradition,they were made to believe that their dead relatives would return the night before and leave them traditional sweets and cakes on the table (Martorana fruit, which is almond paste made into the shape of different fruit)。 They would also receive puppets of boiled sugar and toys. Its one way of keeping the memory of their dead relatives and loved ones alive.

一年中最”闹鬼“的这天夜里，各种妖魔鬼怪、 海盗、 外星来客和巫婆们纷纷出动。在基督纪元以前，凯尔特人在夏未举行仪式感激上苍和太阳的恩惠。

当时的占卜者点燃并施巫术以驱赶据说在四周游荡的妖魔怪。后来，罗马人用果仁和苹果来庆祝的丰收节与凯尔特人的10月31日溶合了。

在中世纪，人们穿上动物造型的服饰、 戴上可怕的面具是想在万圣节前夜驱赶黑夜中的鬼怪。尽管後来基督教代替了凯尔特和罗马的宗教活动，早期的习俗还是保留下来了。现在，孩子们带着开玩笑的心理穿戴上各种服饰和面具参加万圣节舞会，这些舞会四周的墙上往往悬挂着用纸糊的巫婆、 黑猫、 鬼怪和尸骨，窗前和门口则吊着龇牙裂嘴或是面目可憎的南瓜灯笼。孩子们还常常试图咬住悬挂着的苹果。

美国和加拿大的孩子们在这天穿戴上古怪的服饰去按邻居家的门铃，并按传统发出”是款待我还是要我耍花招“的威胁。邻居们不管是否被吓着，总是准备了一些糖果、 苹果等点心，孩子们则一一收入自己的袋内。

万圣节其实不是基督教的节日。2500年前，爱尔兰的凯尔特人(Celts)以10月31日为一年的最後一日，11月1日是新一年的开始，也象徵冬天的来临。

凯尔特人相信死亡之神Samhain在10月31日的晚上会和鬼魂一起重返人间，寻找替身。因此他们燃点火炬，焚烧动物以作为死亡之神的献礼。还会用动物的头或皮毛做成的服饰打扮自己，发出古怪的声音，使死亡之神认不出自己，避过灾难。这就是今天万圣节化妆舞会的由来。过了当晚，鬼魂回到阴间，一切回复平静。

基督教兴起，教徒沿袭万圣节传统，万圣节的意义慢慢改为纪念为献身於神而死亡的人(holies)。

附带一提，11月2日是墨西哥的鬼节(Los Dias de los Muertos, Day of the Dead)。当天家家户户都烘烤动物造型的面包和煮鸡肉等食物，并在供桌上面放置玩具，以期待早逝的孩童们回到家中玩耍。也可以陈列鲜花、 水果、 照片和彩绘的骷髅头，接待仙逝长辈。

墨西哥人认为，鬼魂和人一样需要及时行乐，所以鬼节宛若一场嘉年华会，人们带着面具到处游走，吃骷髅形状的糖，面包上还装饰有鬼的形像。黄昏时刻，全家人一起到墓园清理墓地，妇女们或跪或坐整夜祈祷，男人们交谈或唱歌，在子夜中烛光忽闪忽灭充满了整个墓园，游唱歌者为已逝亡者的灵魂高歌吟唱。

我最喜欢旅游了! 旅游让我既玩得开心，又能学到很多知识，接下来我向大家介绍一下我觉得好玩的地方，大家跟着我一起旅游去吧!

我去的最多地方就是杭州，每次去都觉得很好玩。夏天去可以西湖走走，宋城玩玩。

三月份去就可以去太子湾公园欣赏漂亮的樱花和绚烂的郁金香。

如果同学们想要获得很多知识，我建议大家可以去杭州科技馆，那儿有很多科学展示可以让我们自己动手去试。

绍兴是我去过的地方印象最深的，为什么呢?因为去绍兴的那天我首先逛的是绍兴医院，我发高烧了，还40度呢，要知道当时我才只有4岁呀，可把老爸老妈急坏了，直喊着后悔带我出来玩，后来老妈对我说：如果想游绍兴，到了明天我必须能退烧了。说也奇怪，为了能游我真的第二天退烧了，真是老天助我也。哈哈，其实也是医生阿姨的功劳!第二天我就好好的玩了一天，这件事情对老爸老妈来说他们一直后怕也一直觉得我好厉害。在绍兴我参观了鲁迅爷爷的故居，祖居，游了大禹陵，百草园，沈园等。

接下来我要说的好玩地方就是横店。那儿可真大呀，每个景区都得花个两三个小时。那儿可是很多电影、电视生产的地方，我看了很多的表演，在那儿我还第一次买了一件褀袍。

再说说咱们自己这儿吧，我们这儿有玉环公园，有农业观光园，我想这些地方可能同学们都去过了吧，我还有一个地方觉得也有意思，那就是老妈带我去芦浦看的油菜花和摘草莓吃。那天我也玩得非常开心。

我最喜欢旅游了!

今天和最好的朋友一起出去玩。我们来到公园后，却下起了好大的雨。我们无处可躲。在雨中奔跑着。可是我们却很高兴。因为有彼此的安慰。过了一会，雨停了。我陪着她回家。然后在她家玩了一会，他留我在那里吃饭。可我拒绝了，因为有些不好意思。今天我很快乐，马上就开学了，真想快点见到同学们。

导语：在我们的成长过程中，会遇到很多挫折，会变得更加勇敢，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的相关英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

People tell us that we should to be a brave girl, so that we can get over the difficulties. But to be a brave girl is not easy for me, I always tell myself I must face the difficulty, but I give up in the last minute. So from today, I must learn to be a brave girl, I am not saying to be brave right now, I should take it step by step. First, I must tell myself not to fear the difficulty. When I meet the trouble, I should learn to solve it by myself instead of depending on others, so I will learn something gradually. Then I should open my mind, trying to know more things.

【参考译文】

人们告诉我们应该成为一个勇敢的女孩，这样我们就能够克服困难。但是成为一个勇敢的女孩对我来说不容易，我总是告诉自己我必须勇敢，但是我在最后的关头放弃。因此从今天起，我必须成为一个勇敢的女孩，我并不是说立刻变得勇敢，我应该一步一步来。第一，我必须告诉自己不要害怕困难。当我到困难时，我应该学着去自己解决，而不是依赖于别人，这样我就会慢慢学到事情。然后我应该开阔我的思想，学着去了解更多的事情。
