英文作文 篇1

  the spring festival is the most important festival for the chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like christmas in the west. all people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest time for transportation systems of about half a month from the spring festival. airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees.

  strictly speaking, the spring festival starts every year in the early days of the 12th lunar month and will last till the mid 1st lunar month of the next year. of them, the most important days are spring festival eve and the first three days. the chinese government now stipulates people have seven days off for the chinese lunar new year.

  many customs accompany the spring festival. some are still followed today, but others have weakened.

  on the 8th day of the 12th lunar month, many families make laba porridge, a delicious kind of porridge made with glutinous rice, millet, seeds of job's tears, jujube berries, lotus seeds, beans, longan and gingko.

  the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month is called preliminary eve. at this time, people offer sacrifice to the kitchen god. now however, most families make delicious food to enjoy themselves.

  after the preliminary eve, people begin preparing for the coming new year. this is called “seeing the new year in”.

  store owners are busy then as everybody goes out to purchase necessities for the new year. materials not only include edible oil, rice, flour, chicken, duck, fish and meat, but also fruit, candies and kinds of nuts. what's more, various decorations, new clothes and shoes for the children as well as gifts for the elderly, friends and relatives, are all on the list of purchasing.

  before the new year comes, the people completely clean the indoors and outdoors of their homes as well as their clothes, bedclothes and all their utensils.

  then people begin decorating their clean rooms featuring an atmosphere of rejoicing and festivity. all the door panels will be pasted with spring festival couplets, highlighting chinese calligraphy with black characters on red paper. the content varies from house owners' wishes for a bright future to good luck for the new year. also, pictures of the god of doors and wealth will be posted on front doors to ward off evil spirits and welcome peace and abundance.

  the chinese character “fu” (meaning blessing or happiness) is a must. the character put on paper can be pasted normally or upside down, for in chinese the “reversed fu” is homophonic with “fu comes”, both being pronounced as “fudaole.” what's more, two big red lanterns can be raised on both sides of the front door. red paper-cuttings can be seen on window glass and brightly colored new year paintings with auspicious meanings may be put on the wall.

  people attach great importance to spring festival eve. at that time, all family members eat dinner together. the meal is more luxurious than usual. dishes such as chicken, fish and bean curd cannot be excluded, for in chinese, their pronunciations, respectively “ji”, “yu” and “doufu,” mean auspiciousness, abundance and richness. after the dinner, the whole family will sit together, chatting and watching tv. in recent years, the spring festival party broadcast on china central television station (cctv) is essential entertainment for the chinese both at home and abroad. according to custom, each family will stay up to see the new year in.

  waking up on new year, everybody dresses up. first they extend greetings to their parents. then each child will get money as a new year gift, wrapped up in red paper. people in northern china will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for breakfast, as they think “jiaozi” in sound means “bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new”. also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot from ancient china. so people eat them and wish for money and treasure.

  southern chinese eat niangao (new year cake made of glutinous rice flour) on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means “higher and higher, one year after another.” the first five days after the spring festival are a good time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.

  burning fireworks was once the most typical custom on the spring festival. people thought the spluttering sound could help drive away evil spirits. however, such an activity was completely or partially forbidden in big cities once the government took security, noise and pollution factors into consideration. as a replacement, some buy tapes with firecracker sounds to listen to, some break little balloons to get the sound too, while others buy firecracker handicrafts to hang in the living room.

  the lively atmosphere not only fills every household, but permeates to streets and lanes. a series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held for days. the spring festival then comes to an end when the lantern festival is finished.

  china has 56 ethnic groups. minorities celebrate their spring festival almost the same day as the han people, and they have different customs.

英文作文 篇2

Dear Petty,

  I am happy to receive your letter and I am glad to hear that you have good days recently. I hope you can keep your happiness all the time. But I am not happy these days, because I feel great pressures. Two weeks ago, I caught a cold and then had a fever. I could do nothing in those days. Therefore, I asked for leave for four days to stay at home. I came back to school until the midterm examination. I was not surprised that I did not do well in the exam. It makes me unhappy. I worked so hard to prepare for it. My parents comfort me that I would be better if I had not been ill. I hope I can recover soon. And I hope you can take good care of yourself.

  sincerely yours.

英文作文 篇8

  I think reading is the most important thing in one thing. Some people say: life is the most important. But I think that people without cultural knowledge are like walking dead. Some people say, money is the most important thing. But I think that people without cultural knowledge, with money, ignore spiritual emptiness. Only reading, can we have knowledge. With knowledge, the economy can be developed. So, reading is the most important thing.

  Many famous people all over the world have some famous words about love reading. Golgi's: books are the ladder of human progress. Chairman Mao: people can not eat a day, no sleep a day, but not a day without reading. Million discs are inferior, only high school. Read read, the book house of gold, a beautiful woman in the book. Having read more than ten thousand books, writing if there is god. There is no royal road to hell, but life is short.

  Reading has a lot of use. For example, reading can save life and develop the economy. For example, in December 6th 20xx, a 10 year old British girl, TiNi rescued hundreds of tourists from the tsunami in Sumatra, Indonesia. In the tsunami, 650 thousand people died. It was this: TiNi was playing on the beach and found a small bubble coming out of the sea, and there was a sudden wave. This is the sign that the geography teacher said the earthquake triggered the tsunami. So she shouted, "the earthquake comes, let's run!" So the people followed her to the mountain in the distance. TiNi saved hundreds of tourists with the power of knowledge.

  There is a story, the boss of FOTILE, Mao Lixiang, has just started to run the company only minor, after graduated from the University of the son to help his father management company, the business bigger and bigger, the two time he introduced a large number of graduate students, doctoral students. His company's output value is getting higher and higher, and the output value reached one billion last year.

  The above examples fully explain that reading is the most important. So we should call on university students to love reading.

英文作文 篇10

  Last Thursday was Thanks Giving Day. How did you spend it, my friend? Although it's a western traditional holiday, nowadays, more and more Chinese young people like to live as western style, thus this holiday becomes well-known among Chinese. To most of them, this day means delicious turkey and a happy party at night, which you can easily have a picture in your mind.

  But when it turns to one of my friends, it must be the other side of the coin. That day after that day, I read her dairy in her blog: "How rediculous it was!", she wrote, "I never thought about it could happen to me. As year's coming to its end, our company has dicided the new business plan for the coming year. According to the dicision, most of the employees have to be fired due to budget cutting down, of which two of my best friend will have this fate. And what shocked me was that I was the one who had to inform them this terrible news. At the moment my manager notified me, my mind turned bland for a few minutes and I could not move my body. I was so upset that I even had no right to refuse it. On such a day, Thanks Giving Day! Isn't it too dramatic? What a hell! What on earth shall we give thanks for?!"

  At the end of this essay, she wrote down a sentence: "C'est la vie..."

  To be frank, I was also shocked when I read her blog. Undoubtly, as expectation of all of us, the Thanks Giving Day should be happy and there shouldn't be any sadness. But as what she wrote, c'est la vie, this is the life, it always give us what we don't expect more than what we really want.

  And let's have a look at my own Thanks Giving Day, what did I do on such a "holiday"? These days our team have to spend a lot of working time to support our Finance dept. to do the year-end audit, which made us work over time everyday during the last week. We have to prepare plenty of paperworks and we cannot stop the current projects which must be finished before the end of November. On Thanks Giving Day, I worked until 10:00pm in the office without eating anything when others were enjoying there feast. I was so tired both mentally and physically. That's my Thanks Giving Day, just like a nightmare!

  Then, turn back to the question, what really worth of our thanks? The whole life seams dark and painful and full of sorrow. I asked myself this question over and over. Finally, I thought whatever life give, it is really a cherish experience, because it makes me unique and I could learn a lot from many aspects when things happen to me, different experiences make me different from others. From this point of view, life itself is treasure. No matter sadness or happyness, if we could both enjoy the experiences, I think that is the meaning why we live in this world.

  I wrote a comment in my friend's blog, said that" Life is the best gift we get, everything happen to us must affect us and make our life brilliant. For example, after your colleagues were fired, they will find another brighter future for their careers. All these things have its internal reason. So the one who need our thanks is life itself. If we keep our mode in being thankful to everything we meet, the whole life should be much happier. And in that way, I do believe we will have a better life."
