The first program, the small monkey riding old goat rope walk. I saw the old goat monkey carrying a small step by step down the rope, hey, before. Really amazing ah! The next program more exciting! For example: a tightrope, tigers jump through hoops, lions and tigers slide across the beautiful swing, bears do sports, air swing ...... and so this "Spring Festival acrobatic extravaganza," the protagonist is mainly animals.

This "Spring Festival acrobatics show" really meaningful ah!

Chinese New Year，is the most important festival for all of us. All family members get together on New YearEve to have a big meal.At the same time， everyone celebrates to each other.At about 12 oclock，some parents and children light crackers.The whole sky is lighted brightly. We may watch the fireworks excitedly.How busy it is！

On the first early moring of one year， many senior citizen get up early and they stick the reversed Fu or hang some couplets on the front door. Some houses windows are sticked on red paper cutlings.

The Chinese New Year lasts fifteen days. So during the fifteen days， we always visit our relatives from door to door. At that time， children are the happiest because they can get many red packets form their parents，grandparents， uncles， aunts and so on. The last day of the Chinese New Year is another festival. It names the Lantern Festival.

So the Chinese New Year comes to the end.

"To celebrate the Spring Festival" these slogans on television advertising often visible to, also it is the slogan for the Spring Festival on the joyful atmosphere.

Everyone on the street before the Spring Festival shopping, buy new clothes, new shoes and so on, I also dont listed outside, I heard that this means that the New Year can look brand-new, have a good luck. I think the Spring Festival also has a good side and bad side, of course is good for us, false put, lucrative. And for a cleaner, but hard a period in the New Year. They increase in the number of garbage to clean a lot during the Spring Festival. In fact as long as we are happy not to break things and throw things at the same time, we "dont put your happiness based on others pain." Only in this way can make cleaners also accomplish "to celebrate the Spring Festival".

When we are celebrating the Spring Festival ", those who sweeps wheeled vehicle, carefully clean up the street, carrying a broom in road fireworks off the remains of a garbage is everywhere. These workers busy, clean all bent down to pick up garbage. When I see such a scene, I thought after the cleaning workers pick up must be very tired. The holidays also is really hard to do so tired! So we all can do it consciously when fireworks, so our sweeps can also get "to celebrate the Spring Festival".

Day, our whole family went to hangzhou, where citizens are more compliant, in busy streets they can handle the garbage into the trash can, although there are individual person still cant do that, but my hometown - keqiao has certain gap. Although these years KeQiao have great progress than before, but I think is not enough, must strengthen education, again only strong education is to improve the way of peoples environmental consciousness.

I hope that next years Spring Festival, we are all civilized people, can make the cleaners are also really enjoy the "celebrating the Spring Festival".

“欢度春节”这些标语在电视机的广告上经常可见到，也正是这些标语为春节添上了欢喜的气氛。

每个人都在春节前上街购物，买件新衣服，新鞋等等，我也不列外，听说这意味着新的一年能焕然一新，来个好运。我觉得春节也有好的一面，也有坏的一面，当然了对于我们来说是好的，有假放，有利可收。而对于清洁工来说，新年可是辛苦的一段时期。他们在春节期间要打扫的垃圾增多了很多。其实只要我们在开心的同时不要破坏东西和乱扔东西，我们“不要把自己的快乐建立在别人的痛苦之上。”只有这样才能使清洁工人们也做到“欢度春节”。

当我们“欢度春节”的时候，那些清洁工人们推着车，拿着扫帚在仔细的清理街道，公路边烟花炮竹残留下了的垃圾随处都是。这些清洁工人忙个不停，个个都弯下腰捡垃圾。当我看到这样的场景，心想清洁工人捡完后一定很累了。过大年了也要做得这么累真是辛苦!所以我们在放烟花时个个都能做到自觉，那么我们的清洁工人们同样也能得到“欢度春节”。

大年初一，我们全家去了杭州，那里的市民比较守规，在人来人往的街道上他们都能把手中的垃圾扔进垃圾桶，虽然有个别人还做不到，但和我的家乡————柯桥有一定的差距了。虽然这几年柯桥比以前有好大的进步，但我觉得还是不够，必须再加强教育，只有强教育才是提高人民环境意识的途径。

我希望下一年的春节，我们都是文明人，使清洁工们也能真真正正享受到“欢度春节”。

I stood at the window, overlooking the wide street downstairs. High red lanterns on the streets, five colored flags fluttered in the wind, the motorcar is in array, two words: lively.

The new year is coming, people fall over each other to buy special purchases for the Spring Festival. The store is crowded with customers, some for children or old people, and others for their own choice. In a few moments, the new style and unique style of clothes were snapped out.

The supermarket is a sea of people. The shoppers were lined with long lines, carrying small bags. The supermarket added a few more cash machines, but it was still not enough. The cashier to help out. The salesman kept up the goods in the container.

The food market, it is packed, everyone wants in on New Years Eve festival. The peddlers did not miss the good opportunity to raise the price. For example, pork is usually 13 yuan a kilogram, now it rises to 22 yuan, and mustard usually costs 1.5 yuan per kilogram, now it rises to 4 yuan. Lobster usually costs 10 yuan at a time, now it rises to 15 yuan, though, it still keeps on buying.

There are many customs in Spring Festival in China. One of them is the Spring Festival couplets. Everyone picks up Spring Festival couplets on the streets. After picking up and selecting carefully, they choose their satisfied Spring Festival couplets and paste them home. Families with festive couplets, in order to bless the family can have good luck in the new year.

In addition to wearing new clothes, children are most happy to receive red envelopes. Every year you can receive a considerable amount of money to use it to buy what you like, and you say children are unhappy.

The new year is really busy!

There is a legend about the origin of the lucky money.

Once upon a time, there was a little monster called "chong" who came to the world on the eve of the great New Year. It came to the head of the sleeping child and touched it, and the child began to cry aloud, and when he woke up, he began to talk.

Then all these clever children became fools, and only knew how to play madly every day. "Chong" is afraid of bright light, therefore, people on the night of every big year, all lights, keep at the childrens side, dare not sleep, this is called "shouchong".

There was an old couple who got a child when they were very old. On the evening of the great New Year, the couple lit candles and stood by their children. Suddenly a gust of wind blew and the candle went out. "Chonghu" floated to the childs head, ready to touch, under the pillow under the red envelope flashing a bright red light.

"Chong" cried, and ran away. The next day, the couple handed out red envelopes to their children and told them what had scared them away.

It turned out that the eight copper COINS had become a fairy, and he was secretly helping the children.

Tell such a story you know the origin of the lucky money! On the evening of the big year, children will receive red envelopes from their elders, which represents the wishes of the elders.

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。

China has 56 ethnic groups。 Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival almost the same day as the Han people， and they have different customs。

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.

A new year ,a new start,when I stand on the edge of a new year,I cant help thinking about my plan of next year.

Just as the old saying：“Well began is the half of the success.”So I decide that I should be at work while the others are still relaxing ,and then ,at the beginning ,Im quicker than the others and of course I will get better result than the others.

But ,what I really decide to do is that I must make good of anytime I can spare though it seems impossible. While,I will do my best to live up with what I have planned,and the result will prove it.

The word itself, "Halloween," actually has its origins in the Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted corruption of All Hallows Eve. November 1, "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day"), is a Catholic day of observance in honor of saints. But, in the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31. The holiday was called Samhain (sow-en), the Celtic New year.

One story says that, on that day, the disembodied spirits of all those who had died throughout the preceding year would come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year. It was believed to be their only hope for the afterlife. The Celts believed all laws of space and time were suspended during this time, allowing the spirit world to intermingle with the living.

Naturally, the still-living did not want to be possessed. So on the night of October 31, villagers would extinguish the fires in their homes, to make them cold and undesirable. They would then dress up in all manner of ghoulish costumes and noisily paraded around the neighborhood, being as destructive as possible in order to frighten away spirits looking for bodies to possess.

Probably a better explanation of why the Celts extinguished their fires was not to discourage spirit possession, but so that all the Celtic tribes could relight their fires from a common source, the Druidic fire that was kept burning in the Middle of Ireland, at Usinach.

Some accounts tell of how the Celts would burn someone at the stake who was thought to have already been possessed, as sort of a lesson to the spirits. Other accounts of Celtic history debunk these stories as myth.

The Romans adopted the Celtic practices as their own. But in the first century AD, Samhain was assimilated into celebrations of some of the other Roman traditions that took place in October, such as their day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple, which might explain the origin of our modern tradition of bobbing for apples on Halloween.

The thrust of the practices also changed over time to become more ritualized. As belief in spirit possession waned, the practice of dressing up like hobgoblins, ghosts, and witches took on a more ceremonial role.

The custom of Halloween was brought to America in the 1840s by Irish immigrants fleeing their countrys potato famine. At that time, the favorite pranks in New England included tipping over outhouses and unhinging fence gates.

The custom of trick-or-treating is thought to have originated not with the Irish Celts, but with a ninth-century European custom called souling. On November 2, All Souls Day, early Christians would walk from village to village begging for "soul cakes," made out of square pieces of bread with currants. The more soul cakes the beggars would receive, the more prayers they would promise to say on behalf of the dead relatives of the donors. At the time, it was believed that the dead remained in limbo for a time after death, and that prayer, even by strangers, could expedite a souls passage to heaven.

The Jack-o-lantern custom probably comes from Irish folklore. As the tale is told, a man named Jack, who was notorious as a drunkard and trickster, tricked Satan into climbing a tree. Jack then carved an image of a cross in the trees trunk, trapping the devil up the tree. Jack made a deal with the devil that, if he would never tempt him again, he would promise to let him down the tree.

According to the folk tale, after Jack died, he was denied entrance to Heaven because of his evil ways, but he was also denied access to Hell because he had tricked the devil. Instead, the devil gave him a single ember to light his way through the frigid darkness. The ember was placed inside a hollowed-out turnip to keep it glowing longer.

The Irish used turnips as their "Jacks lanterns" originally. But when the immigrants came to America, they found that pumpkins were far more plentiful than turnips. So the Jack-O-Lantern in America was a hollowed-out pumpkin, lit with an ember.

So, although some cults may have adopted Halloween as their favorite "holiday," the day itself did not grow out of evil practices. It grew out of the rituals of Celts celebrating a new year, and out of Medieval prayer rituals of Europeans. And today, even many churches have Halloween parties or pumpkin carving events for the kids. After all, the day itself is only as evil as one cares to make it.

The Spring Festival is the biggest traditional festival in China.

Whenever the Spring Festival approaching, people working in the field will return to his hometown, together with the family reunion. I also follow mom and dad back to our hometown. In the thirty and middle-aged follow father affix Spring Festival couplets before twelve o clock. There is a legend, Spring Festival couplets: it is said that once upon a time there lived a monster named "year", it always hurt people. But it is very afraid of red and noise, so people with Spring Festival couplets and firecrackers to deal with it. From now on "year" never to hurt people. Me and dad stick after the Spring Festival couplets and home family reunion dinner together.

The Spring Festival this day we up and say hello to friends and relatives YiYiBai years early. Then go to the treasure of our hometown temple, an enter a door he saw a sea of people, people come here to pray for happiness and peace. People also set off firecrackers in the square, all kinds of fireworks in the sky, very beautiful. Issue we began to relatives, at that time of children the most happy is to receive a lot of red envelopes.

Im so glad the Spring Festival!

春节是我国最盛大的传统节日。

每当春节来临之际，在外地工作的人们都会回到自己的家乡，与亲人一起团聚。我也跟着爸爸妈妈回到我们的家乡。在年三十中年十二点前跟着爸爸贴上春联。春联有一个传说，：据说从前有一只叫“年”的怪物，它常常伤害人们。但是它非常害怕红色和响声，于是人们就用春联和鞭炮对付它。从此“年”再也不敢来伤害人们了。我与爸爸贴完春联后与家乡的亲人一起吃团圆饭。

春节这天我们早早起来向亲朋好友一一拜年问好。然后去了我们家乡的宝相寺，一进门就看见人山人海，人们都来到这里祈求幸福和平安。人们还在广场上燃放烟花，各种烟花在空中绽放，非常漂亮。年初二我们就开始走亲戚，这时候小朋友最高兴的就是能收到好多红包了。

On New Years Eve，my father and my uncle talked about their work together. My mum did some cooking with my aunt. Grandparents and I watched the New Year TV programmes. At about six o’clock， we had a special family dinner. We all thought the dumplings were delicious.

On the first day of the New Year， we visited our relatives. In the afternoon，we went shopping in Jiefang Road. My uncle bought some Jays CDs. He likes Jay’s music very much. There were so many people on the road. It was more alive than any other time of a year.

On the second and the third days，we spent a wonderful weekend in the country. There were much bigger trees than in the city. And the animals were more beautiful than in the city. We all enjoyed ourselves.

I had an interesting Spring Festival. How about you？

春节是中国人民的传统节日，家家户户张灯结彩，贴红对联，大街小巷都挂起了红灯笼，到处呈现出热热闹闹，喜气洋洋的节日景象.

除夕那天，我们每个小朋友早早穿上了新衣服，显得精神焕发，奶奶夸我真帅气，妈妈准备了一桌美味可口的年夜饭，有我最爱吃的红烧肉，大龙虾，小炒鱼……我们一家人坐在大圆桌四周，大家互相敬酒，互相祝福，我端起酒杯祝爷爷奶奶身体健康，长命百岁。祝爸爸妈妈工作胜利，万事如意。爸爸妈妈爷爷奶奶也祝我好好学习，天天向上。他们还给了我好多压岁钱，我的心乐开了花，感谢他们给了我一个幸福的家。

吃完晚饭，我们一家人一起到院子里放烟花，我一手拿点燃的线香，和爸爸一起点燃着烟花的导火线，顿时只听到一声“嗖——”烟花飞上天空炸开了，有的绽放出五彩缤纷的花朵，有的拼写成各式各样的美丽的图案，还有的像一个个漂亮的降落伞，绚丽多彩的烟花照亮了天空，我们兴高采烈地喊着，欢笑着……

放完烟花，我们回到屋里，坐在沙发上收看中央电视台播放的《春节联欢晚会》精彩的节目逗得哈哈大笑。

一年就在欢声笑语中度过了。明天，我们又长大一岁了。
