As soon as I opened the door to the food smelled a musty aroma, now mom has to start preparing dinner. An enter a door, we put the shoes in the cupboard, along the red carpet to reach the living room.

Put in the sitting room is simple: a decent sofa, a wall-mounted TV, a glass coffee table... Cross-stitch is particularly striking near the TV set, that is given to our aunt, family is very like, it is hanged on the wall.

To the south is a capacious and bright sitting room balcony, the balcony with many flowers and plants. Dad like gardening, but are not rare, in the words of my father, that is to "beautify the environment". But these flowers on the balcony, really let our family adds a lot of green and vitality.

我有一个整洁而温馨的家，要不放学后，请你随我一去到家里看看吧……

一打开房门，就可闻到一股扑鼻的饭菜香气，这时候妈妈已开始准备丰盛的晚餐了。一进门，我们将鞋子放在鞋柜里，沿着红色的地毯就到达了客厅。

客厅里的摆放比较简洁：一套大方得体的沙发、一台壁挂电视、一个玻璃茶几……靠近电视机的十字绣特别引人注目，那是姑姑送给我们的，全家人都很喜欢，就挂在了正墙上。

客厅向南是一个宽敞明亮的阳台，阳台上摆放着许多花草。爸爸喜欢养花种草，但都不是什么名贵的，用爸爸的话说，那就是“绿化美化一下环境”。但阳台上的这些花草，真的让我们这个家增添了不少的绿意和生机。

到我的卧室来瞧瞧吧。床上挂着紫色的蚊帐，墙上贴着卡通人物，是不是感觉有些与众不同?特别是那些卡通人物，什么多啦A梦呀、维尼熊呀，一个快上初中的学生的，是不是还有些童心未泯呢?

在我的卧室中，最惹眼的是那个书柜，那可是我的心肝宝贝，里面的书虽然算不上是“应有尽有”，但也算是个“小小图书馆”了。我的藏书中，数量最多的当数杨红樱的小说了，我可是杨红樱忠实的“小书迷”，用当今流行的话说就是“粉丝”，只要是出自她笔下的文字我感觉是百看不厌。

怎么样，我的家是不是很温馨呀?请你有时间到我家来做客哟。

Despite the cultural conflicts between the Orient and the Occident, there do exist some admirable ingredients in the Western culture.

First and foremost, the equality between parents and children. The parents are not always superior to their children, and the children do not always need to obey their parents ‘order, that is, they are more like close friends.

Second, the independent personality. Western people have a strong sense of supporting themselves and being independent. They begin earning their pocket money early in their life, even as kids.

Last, Western people do not always assess a person according to his background. If only he can achieve success through personal struggle, he can win status. Its a talent-oriented society, not background-oriented.

The qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in China, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will rise up and rainfall increases. It is the high time for spring plowing and sowing. But the qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.

The qingming Festival sees a combination of sadness and happiness.

This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and sweep the tombs of the diseased. Also, they will not cook on this day and only cold food is served.

The Hanshi (Cold Food) Festival was usually one day before the qingming Festival. As our ancestors often extended the day to the qingming, they were later combined.

On each qingming Festival, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. Traffic on the way to the cemeteries becomes extremely jammed. The customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs, people offer food, flowers and favorites of the dead, then burn incense and paper money and bow before the memorial tablet.

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 "gods 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.

我是xx师范大学外语学院英语系xx级的一名学生，即将于明年七月完成本科学业，真正地步入社会，开始人生的新一段征程。

上 大学后，我最郑重地告诉自己的一句话是：学通你的专业，利用它为你的人生开辟道路。于是我以交际英语为方向，首先侧重于打好基础，从听、说、读、写几方面 训练基本技能，在达到自如地运用英语的基础上，我涉猎了英美概况、英美文学、语言学等相关专业知识。同时，我还自学了部分经贸英语知识，这些努力不仅使我 的专业水平每年都有相应提高，而且扩展了视野、丰富了头脑，并使我于大二时以良好的成绩通过了英语专业四级考试，还将于明年三月参加专业八级测试。

深知语言交际作用的重要性，我特别注重学以致用。除了积极地、有选择地参加院、校组织的活动外，我还时常参加英语角，陪同外国访问团，翻译一些资料，在课外辅导班做兼职教师等。这让我有机会结交了很多朋友，丰富了阅历，而且感到生活更加充实。

我 没有任何引人注目的特长，也不善于领导人，所以三年多来只是通过尽心尽职地学习和工作而得到了大家的认可，但有一点我绝对可以保证，了解我的人也定会认 可，那就是只要我接手的事，我一定会付出百分之百的精力去做好，凭着这股劲儿和几年来的知识经验，我的第一次试讲被指导教师作为典范讲评，我在今年九月的 实习中获得优异成绩。

Hello ！welcome to the special Chinese new years edition of discovering China. Im Alina Li and Im Ben Hedges, and today well be taking you through some of the most important traditions of Chinese new year and historical background. We will look at some of the legends behind Chinese new year and how to celebrate it. Here in the US and Chinese across the world.

The Chinese have specific way to celebrate their new year. If you walk down the street in Chinatown during Chinese New Year, you see a variety of ancient traditions such as red banners, firecrackers and lion dance performances, streets are filled with lively celebration.

However, legend has said that the new year has not always been a time of festivity. An Asian Chinese story told a chilly start to this festive holiday, it begins with an ancient Chinese beast called Nian.

Every New Year Nian would rise from swelling in the sea to ravage Chinese village in livestock and hurting people. The villages soon found out from a wise gray-haired old man that the only way to scare the beast away was to set off firecrackers and light lamps and to hang red banners on each door. As the story goes, this was the beginning of a tradition that would last thousands of years.

So this story leads to the creation of many of other traditions for celebrating Chinese New Year. lets take a look at some of these traditions.

Yunnan province is situated in the southwest of China which covers a total area of 394,000 square kilometers. And it is land of natural beauty and mystery. Today people think of it as a “frontier province”, which lie just below the Tibetan plateau and abut Vietnam, Laos and Burma.

Yunnan’s climate is characterized by small seasonal change in temperature, great difference in daytime temperature and regional contrast between dry and wet seasons. The average temperature in summer is 19℃-22℃. Rainfall is abundant in the area and occurs mainly in May and October each year.

Due to peculiar geographical environment, complex landforms and sharp falls and rises in elevation, diversified climatic conditions result. There are about 30,000 kinds of plants as well as numerous rare animals live in Yunnan, so Yunnan enjoys a reputation of “world garden” and “Kingdom of animals”.

Yunnan is endowed with abundance of breath-taking scenic spots. Kunming, the capital city, celebrated as "City of Eternal Spring", is well known for its diverse cultures, breath-taking natural scenery and pleasant climate. Xishuangbanna is famed for its wild herds of elephants and its swarms of peacocks, whose graceful pictures can put professional dancer to shame. And Diqing(Shanri-la) is regarded as Paradise on east, which means “the place of good luck and happiness” in Tibetan language.

Yunnan is home to 26 ethic minorities which give a rich color to the land. They contributed with their colorful costumes, their traditional songs and dances to the attractive life. The Splashing Water Festival of Dai nationality, the March Fair of Bai nationality, the Torch Festival of Yi nationality, makes you forget to leave. Entering Yunnan, you inadvertently entering the Dongba culture of Naxi nationality, Dai minority culture of Dali, Beiye culture of Dai minority, Beima culture of Yi minority, and also entering a remarkable folk-custom full with myths, dances, paintings, and ancient music.
