[有关介绍中国的春节英语作文

街上人山人海，个个手里提着刚买来的年货，人人脸上挂着灿烂的笑容。街心公园的炮乐坏了孩子，累坏了大人。我也不例外，拉着爸爸的手来到了街心公园炮摊上买炮。这里五花八门的炮让我眼花缭乱，。买这个，还是买那个，还是这个好，哦!不不不那个好……最后我实在挑不过来，只能按照“老规矩”—买三根魔术弹和一些神鞭。

到了晚上十一点四十，我按耐不住拿上炮来到前阳台。“先放神鞭”我拿着神鞭尾部，用打火机点燃神鞭前面。“嗞，啪啪啪……”神鞭开始炸响了。神鞭放完后，我拿起了魔术弹，正要点燃，忽然十二点的钟声敲响了，外面顿时响起炮声。我也不慌不忙，立刻点燃了魔术弹。随着“嗞嗞”声我心也紧张起来。“喷”一条绿色火焰飞出管外，像一支离弦的箭直插云霄，又似一只火龙窜天而上。“哇，是红色的。”我大叫。接着又是绚丽的“龙“窜天而上。它们在天空中绽放，形成了许多许多美丽的花。

这种情景让我想到一句诗。“炮竹声中一岁除，只把新桃换旧符。”

Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival， also known as the Chinese New Year。 To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West。 the dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the GREgorian calendar， so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February。

To the ordinary Chinese， the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year’s Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar。 But the 15th of the first month， which normally is called the Lantern Festival， means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country。

the origin of chinese new yearchinese new year, pronounced in chinese as "xin nian", always falls on the date of marking the beginning of the spring and thus it is also called the "spring festival". "xin" means "new" and "nian" means "year". there are many stories told about the origin of "nian", which actually is a name of animals.

the old story says that the beast "nian" with a very big mouth was so fierce and could swallow many people in one single bite. people were very scared. an old man offered to subdue "nian" and said to "nian": "i hear that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?" so "nian" swallowed many of the other beasts that hurt people and their domestic animals. the old man turned out to be an immortal god and riding the beast "nian" flied to the heaven.

now that "nian" is gone and other beasts were also scared into forests, people began to enjoy their peaceful life. before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each years end to scare away "nian" in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color the beast feared the most.

The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. It is on January 1st according to the Chinese lunar calendar(中国的农历). It’s China’s New Year’s Day. So usually a month before the festival people begin to buy food clothes and decorations(装饰) for houses.

哈哈!我们的节日又到了，那就是——春节。在我们汉族，春节俗称“过年。”

每年的春节我们都会随着鞭炮声来到爷爷奶奶家，给老太、爷爷、奶奶、大伯和大娘拜年。在给老太、爷爷和奶奶磕头。

到了中午一大家子坐在一起吃饭，喝酒。吃完了午饭再去给亲戚朋友们拜年，再说一声：“新年快乐!”

拜完年，大家一起回家吃晚饭。

祝第二年里：开开心心、快快乐乐每一天!

这就是我们汉族的春节!也是我们最快乐的节日!我爱我们的节日——春节!

邻近年关，四处炸响着鞭炮声，我们教育住宅小区的小伙伴们相约在大年三十的晚上，在院子里一起燃放鞭炮。

“孟祥成——孟祥成——”听，还没吃完晚饭，伙伴们就在楼下呼唤我了。想起伙伴们的约定，我狼吞虎咽地吃完馒头，粥也顾不得喝了，就跑下楼和伙伴们汇合。

我从仓库里拿出老爸给我买的鞭炮、礼花。跟小伙伴们把鞭炮堆放在一起。其中有“二踢脚”“小蜜蜂”“钻天猴”……应有尽有，让我看得眼花缭乱，目不暇接。

我们选中了一个名字非常好听的“二踢脚”叫做“天女散花”。这个“二踢脚”不光名字好听，还非常好看。经过一段讨论。将由我去点燃他，我心惊胆颤地慢慢走到它跟前蹲下。我左脚在前右脚在后，胆战心惊地用香头去接触“天女散花”的引火线。只听见“吱”的一声，引信冒出火星，“天女散花”被我点燃了，我迅速向后退，捂住耳朵。它在地面“咣”的一声巨响，“天女散花”随着一道光飞向了天空，那道光好像要把漆黑的天空划破。紧接着的又是一声震耳欲聋的巨响，在夜空中盛开了一朵巨大无比的“鲜花”，“鲜花”带着七彩光辉四散下来，真像传说中的天女散花。“哇，真美啊!”“神奇啊!”我们鼓掌欢呼。

我们又选中一个“小蜜蜂”。“小蜜蜂”小巧玲珑制作的非常精美。成达是一个身体胖大胆子却不大的男孩。我们让他点这个“小蜜蜂”。老天似乎在戏弄他，成达第一次点“小蜜蜂”的时候，先是慢慢走到“小蜜蜂”跟前，慢慢地蹲下，颤抖着香火去点燃引信，但是香头还没有接触到导火线，别人的一声咳嗽就吓得他躲得老远。我们都笑他胆小。于是第二次他便大摇大摆地走到“小蜜蜂”跟前，可是到了跟前他就又跟变了一个人一样，变得小心翼翼了。终于“小蜜蜂”“嗖”的一声“起飞”了。它喷射出的火花不停地变换着颜色，它飘忽不定，一会儿飞到上空，一会儿从我们头顶闪过，不停地炫耀着自己。

一会儿，外面又响起震耳欲聋的礼炮，美丽无比的礼花。整个天空成了一个五彩的世界，四面更是鞭炮声声。我们在礼花、礼炮的照耀下欢呼着、跳跃着。

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.

Reading is a kind of beautiful enjoyment. Reading, let you like into the wonderland, let your life more colorful childhood reading, cultivate your sentiments, relieve fatigue, you forget your trouble, reading is colorful sauces. Rather than call me elapsed time in playing, call me to book the ocean.

有人说，读书没有什么好处。读书是一种负担，读书时犹如把自己关在一个密不通风的笼子里，读书仿佛在接受魔鬼训练一般，使你生不如死，读书是多么痛苦，它是致人于死命的毒药。这只是那些文盲的看法，我却觉得读书的好处多多。我认为书是人类进步的阶梯，书是人类无声的老师，书是我们的知心好友，书是营养的药丸，书是精神食粮，书让我们走进了一个极乐世界，那里简直是天堂。读书是一种美的享受。读书，让你像走进了仙境一样，读书让你的童年生活更加富有色彩，读书陶冶了你的情操，减轻了你的疲劳，忘掉了你的烦恼，读书是五彩的调味料。与其叫我在玩中消耗时间，不如叫我到书的海洋中遨游。

在我不懂事之时，我见书如见鬼，可随着时间的流逝，我长大了，我知道什么是真正的享受，我学会了享受读书的乐趣。

读书破万卷，下笔如有神。读书不仅可以享受乐趣，而且对你有很大的帮助。书读多了，写起文章来，也会如行云流水一般，说起话来也文彬彬的，不是很好吗?

读书让我增添了许多乐趣，我也学会了享受读书的乐趣。在我童年的金色屋中，永远都存在着两个字“读书”。只有先学会读书，才懂得享受读书的乐趣。只有读书，你的生活才有意义，你的人生才会绽放出光芒，你也才不会虚度此生!

The night before the examination

The clock struck eleven at night。 The whole house was quiet。 Everyone was in bed except me。 Under the strong light， I looked gloomily before me at a huge pile of that disgusting stuff they call“books”。

I was going to have my examination the next day。 “Whencan I go to bed ” I asked myself。 I did not answer。 In fact I dared not。

The clock struck 12。“Oh， dear！”I cried。 “Ten more books to read before I can go to bed！”We students are the most wretched creatures in the world。

Chinese festivals are rich and colorful, there are Qingming Festival, Mid Autumn Festival and so on. In this, I like the Spring Festival most, do you know the origin of the Spring Festival?

Let me tell you about the origin of the Spring Festival.

Long long ago, there is an animal called the "year", every the 30th day of the twelfth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, it will come out of the deadly, terrible. One year, a white - haired grandfather came to the village, and he said, "I can drive away that holy thing." But the villagers did not believe what he said. On this day, as usual, the villagers ran into the mountains to hide the "year" beasts, and the old man insisted on staying. The old man put firecrackers in the backyard in the night, "year" beast to the general turmoil was terrible! When the grandfather of the house all the candles lit, "year" was stopped, and then, grandpa took out firecrackers "Pa, PA, Pa", "year" fright, Grandpa laughed in red, "" that is a fire in the laugh, scared Tirzah legs ran, the old grandpa is a fairy, he left the magic three "years" to the villagers. From then on, we will put up red couplets, firecrackers and dumplings every time in the new year.

If you ask me why I like the Spring Festival, I will tell you, because the Spring Festival is very busy, there are a lot of lanterns, it is good for the new year.
