独在异乡为异客,每逢佳节倍思亲;光阴似箭,日月如梭。又一个过年到了,每一个在外上班的人都要急急忙忙地回到自己的老家过年。在我们的家乡——磐安,还有一项祭祖的活动,更是千门万户都要举行的一种民风民俗。

在我国,祭祖的方式有许许多多种,有的以一个村为一个团体一起去,有的以同一种姓氏为一个团体一起去,还有的以一个家族为一个团体一起去。只要到了该祭祖的日子,大家就会聚集起来,到村里的某个地方祭祖,但我们的家乡祭祖的方式却与众不同。

大年三十,是祭祖的日子,我的家乡,家家户户都是自己祭的,只要吃完了午饭,就会开始做许多的事情。首先是,在自己家祭祖,因为祭祖都是以近到远的。所以先是在家里把爷爷、奶奶、爸爸、妈妈叫进来,让他们坐在椅子上,然后,奶奶把他们爱吃的猪头肉,豆腐等,放在桌子上,奶奶说这是给玉皇大帝吃的。等他们吃好以后,就好了!”他们吃完后,奶奶便拿出了香,把香点燃后,给了我三根,我说:“为什么不给我六根呢?”单纯的我以为有六根就来年六六六大吉利了。此时此刻,在一旁的婶婶说了一句:“双数不吉利,大妞!”我当时感到很不解,但我也没多说什么。

不一会儿,家里的祭祖完毕了。接着是去祭我爷爷奶奶的爷爷奶奶了,在那之间,我和奶奶折了许许多多的金元宝,折着折着,我便闹了笑话,我莫名其妙的折了一艘小船。我妈妈还笑着说:“你要是给他们送去一艘船,去海的世界游玩吗?”接着是一阵哄堂大笑,顿时我的脸就红了。祭奠爷爷奶奶的爷爷奶奶,和之前的大不相同,因为他们的“家”在山上,我们要走几千米才走到哪里,没有瓜果只有钱。妈妈说;“只要有钱!他们想要什么就要什么。所以就没带了。走啊、走啊,终于到了,我们一家的祭祖活动也马上结束了。

这次的祭祖活动让我回味无穷,它既让我知道了家乡的祭祖活动的方式,又让我吃到了美味!

Skiing is a desirable activity fro' young people. It provides the excitement that the youth is commonly seeking. The skiers can enjoy the thrill of gliding at tremendous speed down a gleaming,white mountain slope. Often, with split second tinting, they must dodge trees, stumps, and rocks——or find themselves suddenly sprawling in the snow. If they have more than average skill, they can sall through the air in breathtaking leaps and jumps that bring excitement to the onlookers as well. True, there is danger in this excitement,but that is a risk the youth enjoys. Furthermore, skiing is healthful.

It provides exercise, often very strenuous as the skiers trudge up a mountain path or work their way on skis up a slope of deep snow. The best of skiers know that they need strong muscles to successfully control their skis, so they exercise to keep themselves physically fit. Another desirable feature is the companionship that usually develops wherever skiers gather. Friendships grow quickly on the slopes and in the usual nearby shelter where the skiers find food, warmth, and rest. Their experiences of the day and their youthfulness easily draw these people together in happy fellowship.

If you ask someone that do they often go to library, I think they will

answer you with no, the reason I am saying this because of the development of

ebook. Many years ago, without computer, the only way to check the information

that you need is from paper books, it means you need to go to the book shop or

the library, while with the development of the Internet, people have access to

the information very easily, you only need to click on the computer, then what

you look for is in front of you. Ebook is a very popular form for reading,

people can find what they want to read in the computer, like the novel story,

then download. It is so convenient and fast, it can save a lot of time, we don’t

need to go to the library if we are busy. Ebook is a good way for reading.

全文共 1014 字

奥运会的圣火在它的故乡熄灭,又将在神秘的东方燃起,这又是一次四年的期盼,人类历史上的一次飞跃。从奥林匹克到万里长城,从浪漫的雅典到神奇的北京,一切尽在不言之中。

雅典奥运会的圣火刚刚熄灭,关注奥运的人们又把那期待的目光聚集在拥有五千年灿烂文化的古都——北京。身为一个中国人,我怎能不为我们的祖国骄傲。中国作为一个发展中的泱泱大国,在未来的2008年,早已跨入了发达国家的行列,我对我们办好这届奥运会充满了必胜的信心。

奥运会举办权的获得来之不易,它凝聚了我们中国人民的辛勤汗水;它表明了我们中国国际地位的不断提高;它反映了世界各国人民对我们中国的无比信任。这是我们所有炎黄子孙的骄傲。

年7月13日,一个值得纪念的日子,一个激动人心的日子:当国际奥委会主席萨马兰奇一锤定音年奥运会的主办城市是北京!我万分激动,禁不住跳了起来。通过电视,我看到全中国都沸腾了,其势排山倒海,其情撼地震天。曾经百年的梦想在这一刻终于实现了!全世界都感觉到中华民族对奥运会的那种渴望和对奥林匹克精神的执着追求。作为中国人,我感到无比的自豪。

“人文奥运、绿色奥运、科技奥运”,将在北京实现年奥运会将给全世界人民带来像打开生日礼物包装后那种惊喜。正如国际奥委会评估委员会所说年北京的奥运会将为中国和世界体育运动留下独一无二的遗产。我深信,我们的运动健儿会用智慧和勇气横扫奥运会赛场,让五星红旗一次次在北京升起。

作为2008年奥运会的主办方的中国,我们更应该向国外的同胞们展示中国悠久的历史与崭新的面貌。我们应把这届奥运会办成一届绿色奥运会。奥运村的运动员们从吃饭、休息、锻炼到休闲,都要以绿色无污染为理念,看台上的观众所食用的饮料、食品包装都应使用可降解的无污染材料,摒弃污染严重的、对子孙后代造成伤害的一些包装物和材料,从而使我们的家园更美丽,更辉煌。卫生是评估一个城市,乃至于国家的重点。作为一名少先队员,我们应该从我作起,从身边作起,用我们的热情燃烧与感动身边的每一个人,带动起全中国!让中国成为只有一个卫生,干净的城市,才有权举办一届真正的奥运会。

保持环境卫生,应该从现在做起,捡起身边的垃圾袋,扔进垃圾箱,就这么一个简简单单的举动,就有可能影响到各个城市乃至中国给世界各国人士流下的印象。

同一个世界,同一个梦想。让我们共同努力,营造出一个不一样的中国,不一样的北京,不一样的奥运。让我们用我们的辉煌,向世界宣告世界给中国一个机会中国将还世界一个惊喜!

Every Chinese, who experienced 1980s, will remember forever the day November 6th 1981 when the China National Womens Volleyball Team defeated the Japan National Team (the so-called "Toyo Women Magic") with 3 to 2 at the 3rd World Womens Volleyball Cup in Osaka Japan. Thats the first world title for China Womens Volleyball Team. Everyone was shocked by this news. At that time, China had just been out of the "Cultural Revolution". When the news was broadcasted, people burst into joyful tears.

Their victory was the result of all the former volleyball players effort. In 1965,a famous coach of Japan was invited to China to help train the China National Womens Volleyball Team. Seeing both the players conscientious and spirit and the support from the Chinese people, he exclaimed, "Im sure that the China National Womens Volleyball Team will become strong!"

In 1982, the China National Womens Volleyball Team won the gold medal again at the World Womens Volleyball Championships in Peru under the leadership of Yuan Weimin.

In August 1984, the China National Womens Volleyball Team defeated successively the Japan National Team and the US National Team with 3 to 0, and won the gold medal again at the 23rd Olympic Games, which realized the "Triple Crown" dream at the world matches. The pride head coach of Japan National Team said, "Defeating China National Team is equal to block the Yangtze River. Both are impossible." The American coach said, "I hope our children will play basketball as well as the Chinese girls."

The elder players gradually retired after 1985. Then Lang Ping, the World No.1 Spiker at that time, was named the captain. She and her teammates went to Japan to join in the 4th World Cup, and won the title for the 4th time without losing any match.

Two years later, the China National Womens Volleyball Team came to the 14th World Womens Volleyball Team Championships. Though the famous players, such as the "Iron Girl" Cao Huiying, the "Iron Hammer" Lang Ping, the "Wall of Tian An Men Rostrum" Zhou Xiaolan, and the "Quick Attacker" Zhang Rongfang, had retired, the Chinese girls still won the gold medal by their strength and wisdom. The "Penta Crown" shocked the world. What a miracle!

The "Penta Crown" is not only a great honor, but also an ever spur. It has become the spirit of the China National Womens Volleyball Team. At present, the China National Womens Volleyball Team has become a symbol of striving and competing in Chinese peoples hearts.

As the fast development of other countries volleyball career, the China National Womens Volleyball Team had lost parts of their advantages for a period. In early 1995, Lang Ping, the former core player of the "Penta Crown" team, became the head coach of the Chinese National Team. Though its very hard to train these young players in such a short time, she made it. The China National Womens Volleyball Team won the bronze medals at the 7th World Cups at the end of 1995. Then they won the silver medals at the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996, and the gold medals at the 13th Asian Games in 1998. The China National Womens Volleyball Team became the No.1 in Asian again. Whats more, they made a greater miracle at the Athens Olympic Games in 2004. These young girls defeated the rival in a very disadvantaged situation and won the gold medals finally, which were the bestaffirmation for their previous hard work.

Along with Reform and Opening up Policys carrying on and the Spirit of the National Womens Volleyball Team, volleyball had spread in all parts of China. You can find people playing volleyball everywhere, not only in the residential areas and the countryside, but also in schools and factories. The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games render a nationwide movement of body-building in China. Meanwhile, it serves more chances for the sports events development including the volleyball in China.

篇17:有关中国传统节日的英语作文Dragon Boat Festival

全文共 3528 字

+ 加入清单

TheDragonBoatFestivaloccurs on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar(阴历). It is one of the three most important of the annual Chinese festivals. The other two are the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year.

The story of this colorful festival concerns a famous Chinese scholar-statesman(政治家) named Chu Yuan(屈原) who, some three centuries before the birth of Christ, served the King of Chu(楚怀王)during the Warring States period. As a loyal minister(大臣), Chu Yuan at first enjoyed the full confidence and respect of his sovereign(君主). Eventually, through the intrigues of his rivals, he was discredited(不足信的, 不名誉的).

Chu Yuan was never able to regain(恢复) the emperors favor and on the fifth day of the fifth moon in the year 295 B.C.(Before Christ), at the age of 37, Chu Yuan clasped a stone to his chest and plunged into the Milo River(汨罗江) in the Hunan Province(湖南省).

Respecting the minister as an upright(正直的) and honest man, the people who lived in the area jumped into their boats and rushed out in a vain search for him. This unsuccessful rescue attempt is a part of what the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates every year.

Probably the most exciting and interesting aspect of the festival is the racing of the Dragon Boats. These races not only symbolize the peoples attempt to save Chu Yuan, they also demonstrate the Chinese virtues(美德) of cooperation and teamwork.

Another activity of the Festival is the making and eating of a kind of dumpling called Tzungtzu (粽子). When it became known that Chu Yuan was gone forever, the people, living along the river, threw cooked rice into the water as a sacrifice(祭品) to their dead hero. They wrapped(包) rice in bamboo leaves(粽叶), and stuffed(填满) it with ham, beans, bean paste(豆沙), salted egg yokes, sausages, nuts, and/or vegetables.

To the Chinese the fifth lunar moon is more than just the Dragon Boat Festival. Since antiquity(古代), they have believed that this month is a pestilential and danger-fraught(瘟疫的及充满危险的) period. Children born in this month are said to be difficult to raise(抚养), and people tend to concentrate their efforts during this time attempting to protect their families from ills and misfortune. The day of the Dragon Boat Festival is customarily the time when cleaning and sanitation(卫生) are stressed(着重, 强调). Most families hang calamus(菖蒲) and artemisia(艾草) above their doors, both as a decoration and as a preventive against pestilence.

Ancient folk medicines(民间药物) such as realgar(雄黄酒)are added to the food eaten on the Festival day. This is believed to prevent disease and to promote a healthy digestive system(消化器官). The drinking of realgar in wine supposedly relieves(解除) the effects of poisons accumulated in human bodies.

The sachets (Hsiang Pao in Chinese香包) are very popular with children and they vie(竞争) with each other to collect as many as possible. Children are not the only ones who collect Hsiang Pao. Older people are often given them as a symbol of respect, and they are highly prized because of the intricate(复杂的) and beautiful embroidery(刺绣) that adorns(装饰) them.

The Dragon Boat Festival is an entertaining and enjoyable event. It gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage

1、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.

friends would talk about Christmas Day when the day was near, so I started to

commodities which are bought online are of poor quality. Once we are cheated, we

may find it difficult to make a complaint. Thus we should take more cautions

when shopping online.

In my eyes, I prefer traditional shopping, because I can choose what I

really need. Also, I can know the quality of every commodity more clearly. Even

if there’s something wrong with the commodities, I can still ask the sellers to

compensate for my loss.

“神九”直上苍穹,“蛟龙”深潜万丈。伟大的成就令我们欣喜而自豪,我们正沿着正确的道路,向着我们共同的梦想奋然前行。天下兴亡,匹夫有责,少年强则国强!作为一名高中生和一位中国公民,我们要明白身上所肩负的社会责任和历史使命。面对着中国与世界发生的广泛而深刻的变革。我们要顺应时代的潮流。把我们个人的理想和国家民族的前途命运紧紧相连。加强修养,磨练意志,陶冶情操,全面提高自己的素质。我们要努力学习,用丰富的知识,先进的理论武装自己,锻炼自己的综合能力,成为大可用于国家的栋梁之才,让自己的青春价值得以展现,让自己的热血为国家和民族燃烧。花开四季添春*,潮涌九州竞风流。使命光荣,任重道远,为了我们的祖国,为了实现国家的繁荣富强,让我们担起自己的重任,在追求理想的道路上,在为了国家奋斗之中,激扬我们无限的青春年华!
