【知识延伸】关于“清明节”的英文介绍

Qing Ming Jie(All Souls Day)

Qing Ming is a time to remember the dead and the dearly departed. More important, it is a period to honour and to pay respect to ones deceased ancestors and family members. Because it reinforces the ethic of filial piety, Qing Ming is a major Chinese festival.

Literally meaning "clear" (Qing) and "bright" (Ming), this Chinese festival falls in early spring, on the 106th day after the winter solstice. It is a "spring" festival, and it is an occasion for the whole family to leave the home and to sweep the graves of their forebears. Chinese being practical people this sweeping of the graves is given an extended period, that is, 10 days before and after Qing Ming day. Among some dialect groups a whole month is allocated.

清明节是一个纪念祖先的节日。主要的纪念仪式是扫墓，扫墓是慎终追远、郭亲睦邻及行孝的具体表现;基于上述意义，清明节因此成为华人的重要节日。清明节是在仲春和暮春之交，也就是冬至后的106天。扫墓活动通常是在清明节的前十天或后十天。有些地域的人士的扫墓活动长达一个月。

ORIGIN(起源)

Qing Ming is popularly associated with Jie Zi Zhui, who lived in Shanxi province in 600 B.C. Legend has it that Jie saved his starving lords life by serving a piece of his own leg. When the lord succeeded in becoming the ruler of a small principality, he invited his faithful follower to join him. However, Jie declined his invitation, preferring to lead a hermits life with his mother in the mountains.

Believing that he could force Jie out by burning the mountain, the lord ordered his men to set the forest on fire. To his consternation, Jie chose to remain where he was and was burnt to death. To commemorate Jie, the lord ordered all fires in every home to be put out on the anniversary of Jies death. Thus began the "cold food feast", a day when no food could be cooked since no fire could be lit.

The "cold food" festival occurs on the eve of Qing Ming and is often considered as part of the Qing Ming festival. As time passes, the Qing Ming festival replaced the "cold food" festival. Whatever practice is observed，the basic observation of Qing Ming is to remember ones elders by making a special effort to visit their graves, ashes or ancestral tablets. To make the visit even more meaningful, some time should be spent to remind the younger members of the family of the lives and contributions of their ancestors, and the story of Jie Zi Zhui who choose death over capitulation.

谈到清明节，有点历史知识的人，都会联想到历史人物介子椎。据历史记载，在两千多年以前的春秋时代，晋国公子重耳逃亡在外，生活艰苦，跟随他的介子椎不惜从自己的腿上割下一块肉让他充饥。后来，重耳回到晋国，作了国君(即晋文公，春秋五霸之一)，大事封赏所有跟随他流亡在外的随从，惟独介子椎拒绝接受封赏，他带了母亲隐居绵山。

晋文公无计可施，只好放火烧山，他想，介子椎孝顺母亲，一定会带着老母出来。谁知这场大火却把介子椎母子烧死了。为了纪念介子椎，晋文公下令每年的这一天，禁止生火，家家户户只能吃生冷的食物，这就是寒食节的来源。

寒食节是在清明节的前一天，古人常把寒食节的活动延续到清明，久而久之，清明取代了寒食节。拜介子椎的习俗也变成了清明扫墓的习俗了。无论以何种形式纪念，为了使纪念祖先的仪式更有意义，我们应该让年轻一代的家庭成员了解先人过去的奋斗历史，当然，还要学习介子椎宁死不屈的气节。

清明节

大家都知道4月5日是清明节。不错，今天就是清明节。

我和爷爷先去地里给姥姥，姥爷扫墓。我们先把墓上的草拔掉，拔掉后在墓上插上几个嫩柳枝;然后将纸钱烧掉。弄完之后，爷爷让我给姥姥姥爷磕三个头。我很疑惑：“为什么要磕三个头？”爷爷答不上来，便说：“你自己回去查电脑吧！”

回来时，我们吃了一些寒食。我不懂的就要问：”为什么过清明时要吃寒食？“奶奶给我讲起了寒食的来历：“春秋时期,晋文公有个患难贤臣叫介子推的,在晋文公当上国君后隐居深山,在清明前一天,晋文公派人放火烧山,想逼介子推出山做官,介子推不愿下山封官,结果被烧死山中,晋文公懊悔莫及,因此在第二天(清明)下令全国禁止烟火,只准吃冷食,以后年年如此,便形成了民间在清明节吃寒食的习俗。”我不禁一阵惊叹：“原来还有这么一个故事呢！”

今天过清明收获可真多！

During the Qing Ming Festival, we went back to the tomb sweeping. Today, I came to my ancestors grave, ready to sweep the grave for them. I removed the grass from their grave with a hoe.

Weeding is seemingly simple, but it is very tiring. If you dont help the adults, you may have to rest for a while, but I cant get rid of it even if I dont help you two days.

A piece of light in front of the grave, feeling very monotonous, lonely. So after second days of supper, I ran to the mountain and dug several fruit trees and planted them in front of the grave.

Qingming Festival is an important festival. Lets remember this sacred and special holiday. Remember that on this day, we must help our ancestors to go to the grave.

One more thing, in this festival, I believe that you have a missing person! I miss my grandmother most is my grandmother, my grandmother left me forever when I was very young, how I hope she can come back to me again, this is the person I miss most, who you miss most in the Qingming Festival

清明节

今天是星期六，也是一个特别的神圣的节日——清明节。

清明节的时候，我们回去扫墓。今天我又来到了先辈的坟前，准备帮他们扫一下墓。我拿着锄头，把他们坟前的草全都除光了。

除草看似简单，但是干起来却挺累的，锄两下就要歇一会，如果不是大人帮忙可能一天我也除不完。

坟前一片光，感觉特单调，孤独。于是，第二天吃过晚饭后，我就跑到山上挖了几颗果树种在了坟前。

清明节是个重要的节日，让我们记住这个神圣而特别的节日吧!还要记住在这一天要帮先辈们扫墓哦!

还有一件事，在这个节日里，相信你们有思念的人吧!我最思念的人是我的外婆，外婆在我很小的时候就永远的离开了我，我多么希望她能再回到我身边，这就是我最思念的人，你们在清明节最思念谁呢

When I was a primary school student, my family and I took a trip to five

cities which were in the south of China.

First, we came to Nanjing by plane. That was the first time I had taken the

plane and it took us an hour and a half to get there. We arrived in Nanjing in

the morning. At 11:30 we went to a restaurant to have lunch. The food tasted

delicious. In the afternoon we went to “Zhongshanling”. It was the place that

preserve the tomb of Mr. Sugshan.

The next day, we came to Wuxi and then Suzhou where we visited the region

of rivers and lakes of “周庄”. It was a beautiful and old place. The house there

were along the river and the women always washed clothes at the bank.The fourth

day, we came to Hangzhou where We visited “The West Lake. It was very beautiful

and the water was clear .

As we all know, Hangzhou is famous for silk and tea, so we bought some

beautiful silk and famous tea of “龙井”.The last place that we visited was

Shanghai. It was one of the biggest city is China. The night view in Shanghai

was more beautiful than Beijing. We visited the TV tower of “东方明珠”. It was the

third tallest tower in the world. Standing in the tower you could see the whole

city. In the evening, we lived in a hotel with 25 floors. I was very excited

that evening.

This trip took us seven days and we went back to Beijing by plane. The

plane was very very big. There were three engine rooms. I felt happy and I would

never forget the trip.

If I were to leave my home for a year, there is one thing I definitely

would take with me: my cell phone. With my cell phone, I could call my friends

or family if I ever was lonely, needed advice, or just wanted to talk.

Dear Jim,

I’m writing to tell you more about the new form of sharing bike--mobike

mentioned in your latest letter.

It’s very convenient to use if you have a smartphone. What you do is to

find a nearest mobike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike, and enjoy

your trip.

Compared to other forms of sharing bike, the greatest advantage of mobike

is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. It is

becoming a new trend as a means of transportation, which relieves the traffic

pressure and does good to the environment as well.

Hope to ride a mobike with you in China.

Yours,

Li Hua

In the modern time, the growth of technology is increasingly developed.

More and more people don’t use their brains when there is no need to use other

instruments. Too much people use technology so that people are lazier and less

healthy than before. They rely on technology too much.

Some believe that modern technology shorten the distance of human. For

instance, people all use cellphone to call friends or family, or computer to

search information, or use QQ, MSN, twitter, blog etc. These modern instruments

shorten the distance between human.

However, others think that it’s just the reverse. Technology makes people

use less face-to-face communication. The contact in real life is less and less.

People do less interaction to each other. In the long term, people will get

depressed without enough communication.

As far as I’m concerned, modern technology provides convenience to people.

It makes people easily to get information. Only could we use it correctly, it

does much contribution to us.

As we know, many people favor the idea that the college life is free and

comfortable, but I’d like to say it’s not true. As a matter of fact, my life in

university is so busy that I wonder if my energy is enough. As to my college

life, I divide it into four parts, including study, student activities, library

and the others.

Firstly, I want to talk about the study. In my opinion, study is the

priority in college. When I received the letter of admission in summer, I knew

clearly that what I should do. So I make up my mind to study hard and pursue

learning as much as possible. I’m greatly convinced that knowledge can change my

life. Therefore, I often go to the quiet study room where many people study

there. By working so hard, I get good grades in the exams.

Secondly, student activities play an important role in our college life. To

be honest, the student Union is a good place where one can develop social

skills, get his abilities trained. I take part in many student activities. For

example, I’ m a volunteer, teaching the kids to learn to dance and write. I

think it’s meaningful for everyone to give a hand to others. I can also do some

jobs in the Student Union, including receiving and sending fast mail, selling

papers and magazines. I think they’re unforgettable and worthwhile experiences

for me.

Thirdly, I also visit the library constantly. It’s said that “shelves of

books, oceans of knowledge”, so I read books that I’m interested in. In this

way, I can share stories with my new friends and it also changes my horizons

.When I’m sad, lost or in trouble, staying the library makes me quiet and

comfortable. After all, every life has bad moments as well as good ones, and the

library for me is a support in bad moments. So it’s wise choice for me to stay

in the library.

Finally, I often do other things in my spare time. In order to alleviate

parents’ burden, I often do some part-time jobs and write some articles to earn

money. It helps me to be independent and improve my social skills.

In short, my life in university is busy but valuable. You can see that

study brings me knowledge, student activities improve myself, library changes my

horizons, the others things make me independent. They get all my abilities

trained. And I see that the chance will come only if you have a prepared mind,

so I’m sure that I can achieve my dreams in college life.

According to the variety of social background, personal experience and

personal emotion, differernt people have different opinions towards things.

Thus, there is no doubt that generation gap exists everywhere. We always find

that there are big differences between us and the old generation. We always

regard the old are outdated, while they think us are crazy. They can’t bear the

dress we like, the fashion we pursue or even our childish thinking. Instead, we

could put up with their standpat thingking and their “feudal rulers”. Thus, the

generation gap becomes more and more obvious and serious. However, why don’t we

realize that opinions can be changed, while people can’t. So, we can think in an

other way, learn to accept. It is certain that we can narrow the generation gap

to live a more harmonious life.

As a student, I expect the winter holiday very much, because I don’t have

to go to school every day. So I can sleep and get up late. But this winter

holiday, I am not very happy. I didn’t do well in the final exam. It makes my

parents disappointed. I feel sorry to them. Besides, I got ill the whole winter

holiday. I caught a cold at first and then had a fever. I had to see a doctor

every day. My parents worried much about me. Because of the illness, I didn’t

have a good time during the New Year. Now, I am a little better. I hope I could

be well soon, because the new term is beginning. I don’t want to go to school

with illness.

清明的前一天，各大超市可火了，人们推着购物车，仔细地挑选祭祀用的糕点、水果和糖果，生怕给长辈的祭祀品不够好。妈妈每年都是这个购物团中有力的一个，你看她挑好满满一车的祭祀用品，排在长龙般的队伍中，然后急冲冲地回家整理，就怕出一点点差错。

经过漫长的路途，来到久违的家乡，吃上几个美味的青团是再惬意不过的事了。农村人做青团也特别热闹，七姑八婆聚在一起，边做边谈笑风生。

青团是由糯米粉、小麦粉掺在一起，做成皮;馅一般分甜咸二种，甜的基本上都是豆沙馅，香香甜甜，吃起来甜而不腻;而咸的一般用笋、猪肉、花生米等炒在一起，咬起来脆生生，闻起来香喷喷。再在青团外面包上二片“青叶娘”，往锅里一蒸，清香扑鼻而来，咬一口，香味就在你的嘴里弥漫开来，让你吃完一个还想吃一个。

清明节的重点当属祭祀了，走着不常走的崎岖山路，欣赏着不常见的乡野风光，一路上倾听春风的歌声，我们来到了一座座长辈的坟茔前点上香和蜡烛，倒上三杯陈年老酒，摆好精心挑选的祭祀品，再在坟前全心全意地拜一拜，保佑自己平平安安，万事如意。

不过，现在人们防火意识越来越高，烧冥币、放鞭炮等习俗逐渐被敬献鲜花等文明的祭祀方式所取代。虽然上了年纪的奶奶还是十二万分的不高兴，但也拗不过我们的集体劝说。我呢，总是亲手采摘一些野花，扎成一束，恭敬地放在坟前，看到这个，奶奶也笑了!

如果你的家乡有竹林，那挖笋也是别有一番乐趣的。

扛上锄头，来到竹荫下，在层层落叶中找寻那冒尖儿的笋。一旦找到，就会引来无数羡慕的眼神，然后你抡起锄头，要非常有技巧地刨开笋周围的泥土，最后插到笋的根部，用力一撬，一个胖胖的笋娃娃就咕碌碌滚了出来。带上自挖的竹笋回家，炒个小菜，不是很有情趣吗?

Halloween

Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly.

Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.

Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young.

万圣节前夕

万圣节前夕是美国人年年都会庆祝的秋季节日。它的意思是“神圣的夜晚”，在每年的10月31日，也就是万圣节前夜。但实际上这不是一个真正的宗教节日，而主要是孩子们的节日。

每年秋天蔬菜成熟可以食用的时候，孩子们就会挑出大个儿的橙色南瓜。然后在南瓜上刻上一张脸，把一根点燃的蜡烛放在里面。看起来就好像有人在向南瓜外面张望。这些灯就叫做“iack-o-lantems”，意思也就是“杰克的灯”。

每年万圣节前夕孩子们还戴上奇怪的面具，穿上吓人的服装。有些孩子把脸刷成怪物。然后他们拿着盒子或袋子挨家挨户串门。每来到一个新房子他们就说：“不款待就捣乱!给钱还是吃的!”大人们就会把用来招待的钱或糖放在他们的袋子里了。

不仅孩子，许多成年人也喜欢万圣节前夕和万圣节前夕晚会。因为这一天他们可以根据自己的想象把自己装扮成名流或幽灵。这会带给他们年轻的快感。

1、But the Qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.

清明节不仅是扫墓的日子，还是让我们共同怀念过去的日子。

2、 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.

过去，清明节称为“植树节”。但是从1979年开始，植树节定为3月12日。

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 tie

d 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.

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.

清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。借问酒家何处有，牧童遥指杏花村。

——题记

凛冬渐逝。当点点翠绿缀上柳枝，片片粉红覆于桃枝。清晨再现声声鸟鸣，微风不再凛冽，略带和煦。春定是悄然而至，静无声息。在这多情的四月，多愁善感的不仅只有古代的文人墨客，如今又有谁能静观这无尽春光后不为之所动。生思，起念?

清明将至。天气阴沉，接连数日细雨不绝，小路已满是泥泞。游人杜牧行走在这小路之上。目及行人，皆双目缥缈，悲现于面，若有所念。故心念消沉，愈发悲伤。欲借酒消愁，遍寻无果。

终遇得一牧童，穿一蓑衣，戴一斗笠，手握羌笛，骑一青牛。便上前询问酒家何处，牧童沉默不语，只是抬手指向前方开满杏花的村庄，便悄然离去。看着那开满杏花的村庄，独自前行，低头不语。到时，清酒入口，目至窗外。诗人杜牧轻吟：“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。借问酒家何处有，牧童遥指杏花村。”

清明一夜生春意，清明一暮生相思。曾经在一座古桥之上，一对文人一见如故。只因那日，细雨纷纷。他低头轻吟‘轻轻的我走了，正如我轻轻地来。我轻轻的招手做别西天的云彩。她抬头轻诵‘你是一树一树的花开，是燕在梁间呢喃，你是爱，是暖，是希望。你是人间的四月天!’字里行间的相思，想念。亦是无可替代的。诗情随着那一场细雨纷扬到康桥的每一个角落。

那场相思随着时光的推移，更多的是留痕于书籍。一场春念，亦因为细雨的停止，悄无踪迹。正如别时一句’悄悄的我走了，正如我悄悄的来;我挥一挥衣袖，不带走一片彩。’

因为你在春季，亦拥有春光的无限柔情。因为你有雨意，亦拥有细雨的无限悲寂。因为你有《清明》，亦拥有杜牧的阵阵惆怅。因为你有《再别康桥》，亦拥有徐志摩的款款深情。

因为你为清明，谁能不因你而起一场春念。

Nowadays, almost everyone has a mobile phone. Some people even have two or

three. Mobile phones changes our lives a lot. It’s so easy to get to others. All

you have to do is making a call. You can talk to anyone no matter how far you

are. Making calls and texting messages are the basic functions of mobile phones.

But now, we can do a lot of things by mobile phones, such as listening to the

music, watching movies, taking photos, reading books and so on. It’s so

functional that it seems like a computer to some extent. Some people even deal

with their business by mobile phones. It’s amazing.

Recently, the news reported that one special kind of rhino from Africa just

passed away, which meant the disappearance of this lovely creature. What a great

pity. The tragedy is caused by the damaged environment, while human being must

be blamed for it, because we have done so many bad things to pollute the

environment and make the nature lose its balance. In order to make up our faults

and save our offspring, it is in need of protecting the environment. As the

ordinary people, we can do the small things, such as do not throw away the

rubbish and join some activities to bring the world green, like planting trees.

Every small act can make a difference. Some day, when we live with the

environment friendly, what we do is worth.

今天，是一年一度的清明节，奶奶一个星期前就说要带我去祭祖，我天盼地盼终于盼来了。

Today is the Qingming Festival once a year, a week ago, grandma said to take me to worship, I hope to look forward to finally look forward to.

前年，是爷爷带我去祭祖的，所以，这次是奶奶带我去。在通往祭祖的路上，奶奶显得格外严肃，平时那个幽默风趣的奶奶消失得无影无踪了。淡蓝色的小野花,纯金色的油菜花,碧绿色的的小草儿,神气十足的竹子``````给这幅通向祭祖的这幅“图画’’点缀上了一种别具风味的感觉,令人只可以表达出一种严肃的表情。

Two years ago, is the grandfather took me to the ancestors, so, this is my grandmother took me to the. On the way to worship their ancestors, grandma is particularly serious, usually the humorous she disappeared Not the least trace was found.. The pale blue flowers, pure golden rape flowers, green grass of the small, put on airs to this piece of bamboo and so on to worship the "picture with a unique flavor of feeling, it can only express a serious expression.

过了几分钟,我和奶奶到达了目的地，祭祖正式开始了。奶奶让我先去把曾祖父的灵位两旁点上蜡烛，奶奶说了，我去点可以表达我对曾祖父的尊敬。然后，奶奶把鲜花放在曾祖父灵位前，我和奶奶在灵位前磕头，然后再说几句保佑我们全家的话.之后,奶奶还把一些瞑币在灵位前给烧了。然后，我们再在灵位前磕了几个头还用手把周围的垃圾捡掉，并再去祭拜一下，再在坟头插上三根点燃的香。这次祭祖就算是大功告成了!

A few minutes later, my grandmother and I arrived at the destination, the official start of the ancestors. Grandma let me to go to the great grandfathers time on both sides of the candles, grandma said, I can express my great grandfathers respect. Then, she put flowers on my great grandfather before free, my grandmother and me in front of the souls bowed, and then say a few words to bless our family. Later, grandma gave some money to burn bright in front of the souls. Then, we again in front of the souls to knock a few heads with hand around the garbage picked up, and then to visit the grave, then plug in three lighted incense. The ancestor worship even be accomplished!

在回去的途中，奶奶还给我讲了许多曾生前的事。回家后，我还对妈妈说了我们怎么祭祖,和我曾祖父的事，下次祭祖,我一定要带妈妈一起去。

On the way back, my grandmother told me many living things. After returning home, I said to my mother what do we worship, and my great grandfather that next time, ancestor worship, I must take my mother to go.

Coming in left the revolutionary hero monument...

This is our memory of the deceased ancestors festival, also is our Chinese traditional festivals -- tomb-sweeping day very much!

你知道清明节是怎么来的吗?哈哈!不知道了吧还是我来告诉你吧!我国传统的清明节大约始于周代，已有二千多年的历史。清明节最开始 一个很重要的节气，清明节一到，气温升高，正是春耕春种的大好时节，故有“清明节前后。种瓜种豆。植树造林，莫过清明” 的农谚。后来。由于清明节与寒冷的日子接近，而寒食是民间禁火扫墓的日子，渐渐的寒食与清明节就合二为一了，而寒食即成为清明节的别称。也变成为清明节的一个习俗。清明节之日不动烟火，只吃凉的食品。

清明节还有一个习俗就是扫墓。今年清明节前后，我们学校组织了春游，就是去革命英雄纪念碑。我们带着太阳帽，拿着小白花，浩浩荡荡地拉到了革命英雄纪念碑，在那里，有许多高大的石碑，石碑上有很多烈士的名字在上面的，我们低着头，来到长清树面前，把我们的小白花寄在长清树上，默默地看着长清树上的小白花……依依不舍在离开了革命英雄纪念碑……

这是我们纪念已故先人的节日，也是我们中国非常传统的节日——清明节!

Dear editor,

I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks. 60% of us schoolmates think that an entrance fee do not meet people’s expectations, for a park is considered to be a place where the public can have a good time when they are not busy either at home or at work. If an entrance fee must be paid by the visitors for a park, it will be necessary to build a gate and surrounding walls. In the end a city will take on a bad look. 40% of us schoolmates think that an entrance fee can be accepted, but it must not be too expensive. The money from ticket selling can be used for paying the gardeners in the park and buying some other kinds of flowers and trees.

With regard to myself, I think an entrance fee is useful, for it can be used to protect a park. Do we share the same opinion, dear editor?

Yours truly,

Li Hua
