冬天英语作文(精选20篇)

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most popular traditional festivals

celebrated in China, which is on the fifth of the fifth lunar month, also known

as Duanwu Festival. It’s said that it is to commemorate the death of a Chinese

patriotic poet, Qu Yuan, who was snared by corrupt officials in ancient China

and finally committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River to protest

against them.

The traditions and customs held on this festival differ from place to

place, but there are some common in them. First, the most famous and great

tradition is holding Dragon Boat races, which are held by fishermen’s attempt to

protect Qu Yuan’s body against attacking by fishes and other animals in the

river by beating drums and row the dragon shaped boat. Nowadays dragon boat

races have been an annual popular sport activity among people. In addition,

making and eating Zongzi—a dumpling made of glutinous rice and wrapped in bamboo

or reed leaves—is also a popular custom during this day. It can be made by many

kinds of stuffing. What’s more, hanging herbs on the front door, drinking

realgar wine and pasting up picture of Zhongkui—a mythic guardian figure in

ancient china—are also popular during the festival, which are mean to protect

people from evil and disease.

These customs and traditions have been changed a little in recent years,

but they still make contribution to the spread and inheritance of Chinese

culture.

When talk about America, most people will think of the great buildings and

the lively parties, because the Hollywood movies present us the strongest

America. Whats more, the media always report how powerful America is and the

foreign media criticize China all the time, so people lose faith about our

country. Actually, every country is not perfect. Recently, I have learned a lot

about America, which helped me make the better judgment. A video was made by a

Chinese student who had studied in America for 6 years. He told people that some

part of America was like the big countryside and not every place looked like the

movies presented in the screen. He came to the conclusion that perfect country

did not exist. So we need to take the right attitude to our country, and dont

lose faith when we see the bad sides.

There is a library in every university, some schools pay special attention

to the building of the library, because the library always on behalf of

presentation of a school. We can find all kinds of books in the room, library

provides convenience, but it still has space to improve.

On the one hand, we can check the information and go to the library every

day. It is open all the week, and the time is from 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock. For

students, they can go to the place all the time. What’s more, the book they want

is easy to find, they can check on the computer, and find the number

quickly.

On the other hand, the library needs to improve its equipment. The books on

the library are very old, it is not good for students to do some research paper.

The amount of the computer is not enough, I always find the students wait for

the computer, while some students need to use the computer for a long time. So

there will be better if increase the number of the computer.

Despite these drawbacks, I am generally pleased with the library and hope

that it will continue to make improvement in the future.

Spring morning is spring, the summer morning is tree-lined, autumn morning is the fragrance of Osmanthus, then the winter morning is how it?

"Tinker bell ... ..." a harsh ring tones abruptly pulled me from the dream back to reality. I opened my eyes, slowly from the blanket out of a hand. Oh, its a lot of time! I seem to fall from the warm paradise directly into the cold hell. Turned to look, mist is lying on the window whirring sleep! Outside a gray, the sun seems to give yourself a holiday, sleep at home, Lanjue. I secretly said: the sun is stolen lazy, but I have to go to the dark to go to school, really heavenly difficult ah! "The real warriors dare to face the bleak life." Suddenly, my mind Sentence. So I bang, from the blanket jumped out.

One out of the house can be thousands of times better than the house cold. The cold wind piercing, straight to my neck drill. Even known as "Maxima" car at this time also like a year more than seventy years old man had severe general, turtle speed moving with. Trees put on a white coat, but the wind was still ruthlessly swept away the leaves, leaving only bare branches. People who come and go are all armed, leaving only a pair of eyes dripping, even those who love the beautiful slim girls willing to wrap themselves into a round "dumplings". I mention the collar, I thought: the classroom but also so dead it.

But a walk into the classroom, that scene and just really different world. "Pa Pa" do not miss a minute to learn the opportunity, like being nailed to the stool, hungry to learn the knowledge, do the book really have gold house? "Naughty" is like a stool was Put a few nails, restless, they got up like a rhinoceros rampage. And those who suffer from the "severe delay" of the students are fiddling words to fill the job, their hands like a machine generally kept running ... ...

Winter morning not only chill, but also steaming. It can freeze the growth of all things, but could not freeze our warm heart.

It seems we are living in the conflict between modern and traditional

cultures every day. Hearing the blaring of horns the moment you step out of your

house, seeing the so called "pop" the moment you open your eyes, you cant help

thinking, "Will the traditional culture be gradually lost?"

Many people believe so. They may put right in front of you all the

evidences they can dig out. They may argue that people are rushing to

restaurants instead of cooking at home, listening to pop music but not

traditional, wearing in a way people couldnt imagine ten years ago. Modern

people like the air of freedom, not to be restrained by traditions. They offer

this long list, only trying to confirm that this world is full of

fashion,competition and temptation and the traditional culture is fading and

will be lost at last.

Though we are now living in a world in which undeclared aggression, war,

hypocrisy, chicanery, anarchy are part of our daily life. Though this is a

skeptical age, and our faith has weakened, our confidence in some aspects of the

traditional culture should and would never be lost.

Wouldnt you agree that our traditional culture is always credited with

modesty, politeness and respectfulness, which have always been treasured for

more than five thousand years?Even in this modern world, people still admire

those with good manners, those who are polite to others or respectful to old

people.

Wouldnt you agree that our Chinese traditional music is beautiful and

artistic and our Chinese tea culture is always an appealing treasure to people

around the world?

So there may just be some changes in our lifestyle or our attitudes towards

life, but little change occurs to some fundamental aspects of our traditional

culture that people still treasure in heart.

The traditional culture will never be lost, I believe.

Nowadays with the ever rapid development and increasing popularity of the

information technology , shopping on the internet has been a fashion especially

among the youngsters.

Online shopping has made our daily life more convenient and comfortable.

For example , shopping on the internet can save students a great deal of time on

the way between home and store, so they would be able to concentrate more time

and energy on their academic work. The internet has shorten the distance between

manufacturers and consumers and thus we can even buy goods in other countries

.On the other hand , lack of the face to face deal makes online shopping less

reliable and trustworthy. What’ s more the delivery will increase the risk of

items’ damage.

In my opinion, shopping on the internet is a irreversible trend. More and

more people will be accustomed to it. It will be much more popular in the near

future. And at the same time we should take some measures to make it

perfect.

People will be the envy of the sky eagle, but never thought it a thousand

times to practice hard; people were envious of butterfly flowers, but do not

have to pay attention to it once as a caterpillar suffering; people are jealous

of those celebrities, those scientists, those successful people, but never

thought they have too much to pay behind the hardships and sweat, experienced

many setbacks.

So, in the face of the unexpected blow, who seem insurmountable

difficulties, the vast expanse of the thorns, I will not retreat. Because I

know, success is built on the basis of failure and sharpening.

Should students go on further study or find a job after leaving high

school?

Time spent in campus is not always treated with gracious look, but some

parents may choose other ways for the longevity of their childrens

post-high-school period, namely, find the adolescents a job, rather than sending

them to a college. I can find myself against this act for a thousand reasons,

amongst which we can figure some strongest ones as follows:

My first con against this behavior is that education is not just a benefit

but also ones rights. Without education , as Gorge Orwell had once said ,is to

be deprived of the most precious privilege in our time as a modern man. With

college education , youngsters can choose a better way of doing thing correctly

and more efficiently. The sharp contrast between those who have received well

education and those without is not just financially, but more vitally,

spiritually.

Admittedly, we can find cases of some one achieves without college

education, but these cases are famous only because they are rare. Those people

who succeed with a college degree are so many that this would seem to be a must

and a natural part of elites. The absence of university education is hard to

imagine in our days. The prospect of those juvenile workers or businessmen would

be even dimmer than ever before .For in our age, knowledge is not only the

power, but also the know-how to solving problems and gaining a much larger

fortune.

I got out of the door, can not help but take a breath after the rain, the air is so fresh. I saw the blooming plum blossom last week was scared to fall down.

Flower beds, a piece of dead leaves fell above the rain sink into a bowl of bowl of spring water. Walking in the Indus Road, a piece of Indus leaves stacked on the ground, the north wind blowing, they like a group of naughty cute little bikes went to the road, the north wind blowing into my clothes in the cool. Several chrysanthemums on campus add some vitality to our campus. The pines in our plot endure the breeze of the winter wind, it still stands on the earth, the leaves are still as green as before.

However, the most people can be at home can be the first to feel the breath of winter, winter fog is really changing, and some like snow-covered Changbai Mountain, and some like red leaves like Fragrant Hills. Fog at the foot of the floating, people seem to be able to cloud on the ground, leisurely like, this fog is really white ah! White like a white gauze satin, but also just under the snow, so clean, so moist.

Although the winter is very cold, but how much I want to let the winter come, so I can win the snow battle!

I love the winter morning, beautiful and quiet morning.

Before Teachers Day, we were thinking what gift we would give our liuxue86.com English teacher on that day. Wang Ming said, "Our English teacher is tired and shirsty after class. Lets give her a bottle of water. " "Thats a good idea,"we agreed."

On Teachers Day, as soon as the teacher came into the classroom, we all stood up and shouted "Happy Teachers Day!" Our monitor went to the from and gave her a card and a bottle of water with our best wishes. Our teacher dran.

At present, there is a hot word in our life - "low carbon". For this new

friend, I have done a detailed understanding, the original, low carbon is to

reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Low carbon environmental protection, green

travel, in todays society, bike sharing is the top priority.

In 2017, shared bicycles have sprung up on the streets of Fuzhou with

colorful colors, including blue, orange and yellow Dressed up in the beautiful

streets of Fuzhou. It serves every citizen of Fuzhou and brings convenience to

us. Everyone is contributing to the environmental protection cause of Fuzhou.

This is the responsibility and obligation of Fuzhou citizens. I see the rapid

development of bike sharing. There are yellow cars, Moby bikes, and hello bikes

This aroused my curiosity, and I also wanted to experience it. Today, I took my

mothers mobile phone and couldnt wait to find a small yellow car. I turned on my

mobile phone, scanned the QR code of the bike sharing car, and input the

password. I only heard "didi" and the lock on the bike was opened. This

operation is really convenient. So my mom and I got on the bike sharing. We

enjoy the scenery on both sides of the road, talking and laughing all the way,

but also exercise. This is really a healthy and environmentally friendly way to

travel!

However, the good time is not long, bike sharing is facing unprecedented

disaster. Some are thrown into rivers, some are short of arms and legs, some are

locked in private Where are the qualities of these people? Is this the quality

that we Chinese should have? No, this is not the quality that we Chinese should

have! This small bike sharing is like a mirror, reflecting the quality of

Chinese people. The original intention of bike sharing is good, it can bring

convenience to the public, low-carbon environmental protection, green travel! I

hope you can maintain bike sharing together!

With the progress of society, peoples quality should be constantly

improved. Bike sharing is a good invention. Lets protect it together. Low carbon

and environmental protection. Starting from me, lets maintain a better tomorrow

with both hands. Lets make our sky bluer and our air cleaner!

I like reading very much during summer vacation. Let me tell you something

about my reading.

One day, I just finished my meal and went to the front of the bookshelf to

look for the books I wanted to read. My eyes are on the famous little woman. I

couldnt help but pull the book out of the shelf. Sit on the bed and look with

interest. What a wonderful book! I am like the scene in the book of dragon road:

I am happy for the little hero when he receives the gift; I am sad for the

little hero when his canary dies.

Time passed by minute by second. Unconsciously, I have been reading for

three hours, and my eyes begin to ache, but I am still reading there, until five

hours, my eyes are willing to strike.

Day, gray one of the wind, cold wind whiz the hanging. Suddenly there was a snowfall.

Snow on the sky those snowflakes have triumphantly fall from the sky, like catkins, such as pear. The wind is covered with snow and snow with the wind. They are in the air to play a roll, while a turn, this time back to the mother of the arms of the earth. The snow fell on the river, was gone; fell on the collar of the people, one will become a crystal of small water droplets ... ... every corner are left their footprints. Snowflakes slowly to the whereabouts, sparse loose the next non-stop.

With the passage of time, the snow is getting bigger and bigger! A blossoming, a piece of flies. They are clever make-up artist, for a while tree sister put on a beautiful new clothes, house brother put on a thick cotton cap; earth mother also put on a white mask.

The snow is bigger, and a piece of grain is like a goose, and it falls down. Big, as if in a race. They had a piece of racing, such as meteor across. Snowflakes are surrounded, hold into a group to the whereabouts, such as grain pearls. The whole world shrouded in a vast expanse of white, bathed in snow. Snow kept under, under the ... ...

At this time the earth has shown a white, the earth is like a silver wrapped in the world.

Snow finally stopped, and now the world becomes vibrant. Pedestrians walk in the "white carpet", issued a creaky voice; children in the snowman, playing really happy. "Ruixue Zhaofeng years", next year will be a harvest year.

I think Mid-Autumn Day is an old traditional festival in China。 Everybody likes it because its a family get-together。 You see it is called"Mid-Autumn Day"， so it often es in September or October。 It is on the 15th of the 8th of the lunar month。 Now， lets say something about this interesting festival。

Firstly， Id like to say something about the moon。 I like it very much because I want to be an astronaut in the future。 That day the moon is round， big， just like a beautiful plate hanging on the blue cloth。 When I see the moon， I will remember the ancient myths——the godess Chang Er and her little rabbit are playing under the tree which Wu Gang grows。 I will also think about Armstrongs first moonwalk。 I will also miss the friends in Tai-wan island， in Macao and Chinese people who are abroad。 I know they are missing us very much， too。

Secondly， I11 say something about the tradition on Mid-Autumn Day。 Look!Theres a big tree in a garden of a Chinese fami-ly。 All the family members are sitting around a big table under the tree in the open air。 They are eating the mooncakes and admiring the full moon in the sky。 That is a family reunion dinner。 The mooncakes and the moon represent the love from a family。 I think this is one of the most valuable things in the world。

Thirdly，it is a very good opportunity to make three wishes on Mid-Autumn Day。 My wishes are: the first， I， an astronaut in the future， would like to go to the moon one day， and stay with the sky and stars; the second， I hope every person in the world will stay with family， share love from the family forever; the third， I hope everybodys dream will e true。

That is the Mid-Autumn Day in my mind。 I will always re-member: East or West， home is best。

我认为中秋节是中国古老的传统节日。每个人都喜欢它，因为它是一个家庭聚会。你看它被称为“中秋节”，所以通常在九月或十月。这是在农历八月十五日。现在，让我们谈谈这个有趣的节日。

首先，我想谈谈月亮问题。我非常喜欢它，因为我希望将来成为一名宇航员。那天月亮是圆的，大的，就像一块美丽的盘子挂在蓝色的布上。我看到月亮，我会记得古老的神话 - 长女和她的小兔子正在吴刚生长的树下玩耍。我也会想到阿姆斯特朗的第一次月球漫步。我也会想念台湾的朋友们岛上，澳门和国外的中国人。我知道他们也非常想念我们。

其次，我要谈谈中秋节的传统。看!中国家庭的花园里有一棵大树。所有的家庭成员都坐在树下的一张大桌子旁边露天。他们正在吃月饼，欣赏天空中的满月。这是一个家庭聚会晚餐。月饼和月亮代表了一个家庭的爱。我认为这是世界上最有价值的东西之一。

第三，这是一个非常好的机会，在中秋节做出三个愿望。我的愿望是：第一，我，未来的宇航员，有一天想去月球，和天空和星星呆在一起; 第二，我希望世界上每个人都能和家人在一起，永远地与家人分享爱意; 第三，我希望每个人的梦想都是真的。

那是我心中的中秋节。我将永远重新成员：东方或西方，家是最好的。

Dear Sarah,

I am terribly sorry to tell you that I am unable to attend your birthday

part next Thursday evening. That is owing to the fact that my younger brother

suddenly fell ill and was taken to a hospital this morning. I have to go there

immediately and take care of him. As told by the doctor in charge, it will take

around five days for him to recover and I have asked my boss for a leave.

I really regret that I cannot go to celebrate your birthday personally and

would miss the perfect chance of enjoying myself with all our old friends. I

have chosen a small gift for you and will send it to you tomorrow to show my

best wishes. Besides, please give my regards to our friends when you meet them

at the party.

Cordially,

Li Ming

一、冬天的太阳是最迷人。因为冬天寒冷，使人很珍惜这难得的温暖。星期天的下午，漫步在街头，任柔和灿烂的暉光洒在肩上头发上，也许会使你精神振奋，心情突然间变得舒畅开朗：也许你会心神一动，感到生活是多么美好：也许更会使你感觉惊呀，发现冬天原来也有如此醉人的，却没有被发觉的魅力。

二、冬天带来的寒气遍布每个角落，就是晴朗无风的时候，天也是干冷干冷的。光秃秃的树木可怜巴巴地立在江滨路两旁，曾经生机勃勃的小草也终于支持不住，枯黄了。草地上的小花也进入了梦乡。北风吹来，小树在寒风中挣扎着;小草匍匐在地上，好像害怕这突如其来的寒风。

三、东北风呜呜地吼叫，肆虐地在旷野地奔跑，它仿佛握著锐利的刀剑，能刺穿严严实实的皮袄，更別说那暴露在外面的脸皮，被它划了一刀又一刀，疼痛难熬。

四、秋天尚未离去，那寒冷动冬天却迫不及待地来了。它还带来了寒冷的雨丝，把人们都冷冻在寒冷之中，感觉不道德一丝的温暖，使人们的心都麻醉了。

五、冬天像一位公主，舞动神奇的面纱，送来阵阵寒风;冬天像一位巧匠，挥舞手中的刻刀，雕刻出最美丽的冰花;冬天像一位魔法师，旋转着魔棒，幻化出飞扬的雪花;冬天像一位时装设计师，用独具的眼光，为大地披上雪白的衣裳;冬天像一位音乐家，用灵巧的双手，谱写着风的乐章。

六、我喜欢冬天，因为它像一位法官，正直公正，一视同仁;我期待冬天，因为它有像鹅毛般一样洁白的雪花;我守望冬天，因为它像甜睡了的婴儿，接下来便是活泼无比的春天。

七、冬天来了!西风呼啸着，像一个酷吏拿着鞭子不分青红皂白的乱抽。光秃的枝干被大风吹得上下摇摆，所剩不多的几片树叶被风卷起在空中打着转儿，随后又被无情地甩在地上，任凭风的戏耍，又无可奈何。风咆哮着，每经过一个地方，这儿便会“大变脸”。雪不停的下着，在地上结了一层冰，人们都小心翼翼的在上面走，可还是会有几个上班心急的人们滑到，甩了个四脚朝天。

八、那雪花洁白如玉，它是天宫派下的小天将，还是月宫桂树上落下的玉叶呢?雪花像美丽的玉色蝴蝶，似舞如醉;像吹落的蒲公英;似飘如飞;像天使赏赠的小白花儿;忽散忽聚，飘飘悠悠，轻轻盈盈，无愧是大地的杰作!只见眼前的雪花像蝴蝶一样调皮，一会儿落在屋檐下，一会落在树枝上，还不时飘在行人的脸上。

九、我喜欢自己安安静静的呆在一个能看到下雪的地方，欣赏银色的雪花漫天飞舞，然后铺满一地，就像是天使从天上投下了一张银白色的地毯。当不下雪之后，我最喜欢到比较高的地方去看雪景，在阳光的照映下，雪花发着银白色的光芒照射大地，虽然有点冷，但是老远就听到了孩子们开心的笑声，孩子们那种天真无邪的笑容，是在任何地方都学不到的，它不会有背叛，有的只有，团结、笑容、智慧，以及是孩子们能够跟好的交流。

十、冬天来了，北风呼啸，寒风刺骨。树上光秃秃的，小草也鄢了，变成了黄色，人们在寒风中直哆嗦，到处一片荒凉的景象。你一定会说，冬天一点儿也不好，我却不这么认为。

十一、冬天像个魔术师，它用"雪"这个道具装扮了整个世界。雪落在地上，像是给大地铺上一张银白色的地毯;落在屋顶，像是给屋顶盖上一层厚厚的棉被;落在树枝上，像是给树枝镶嵌了一根根美丽的银条;落在小朋友的身上，像是一个个会跳舞的小精灵。在阳光的照射下，显得格外晶莹耀眼。

十二、冬天是残酷的，它冷藏了太阳的万丈光芒;冬天是无情的，它脱掉了草木的华美衣裳;冬天是寂静的，它禁锢了江河的喧闹奔放。

十三、树叶也不例外。寒冷的空气把他们麻痹，只是万事具备，只欠冬风了。一阵风吹过，树叶纷纷活跃了起来。有些树叶经受不了寒风的刺痛，从树上坠下，永远沉睡了。

Over the last page calendar in 2010, time wheels and leave a deep imprint.

With winter snow after the warmth of the sun, in the joyful mood, 2011 to keep

the New Years day.

New Years day, is a connecting link between the preceding and the node.

The New Year is about to begin, standing on new starting point, the aftertaste

is past, have heavy harvest; Looking ahead, waiting for us is the beautiful

future. After a busy year of you I, can at this time to make a little stay,

close your eyes, bathed in sunshine, enjoy harvest thick feeling. From this day

started again, we will have a new targets, and on a one-year new journey.

The grass sprout out of the earth, clouds scud across, and year after year,

annual similar different. But, has not changed for New Years day is my

expectation.

When I was young, every New Year comes a few days ago, the morning wake up,

the first thing is bare bottom from woli leafing out of nowhere, then this

calendar day several times of snapping to finger countdown. Young Im such a

keen on New Years day this festival, in fact, only to have something good food,

new clothes to wear, but also need not go to school.

New Year dyed the our happy childhood, pulled close distance we grow up.

Slowly, I from elementary school, junior high school, arrive at the university,

blossom years as accelerated film a flash and pass. This years New Years day,

we are in a busy spent, work overtime everyday, we need to make very late. In

order to finish the task smoothly, we are often a pack of instant noodles, a

computer, four people take turns input. In order not to delay working, teacher

Chen just will just go to the kindergarten children locked in the home. The

nearest xiaoliu has also been no home, and together we live in the dormitory,

have a meal. Less childhood innocent romance, much work responsibility, also

enjoy our work of fun. During, no one has complained, increasingly mature we use

special ways of enjoying the unique New Years day holiday. As a word that said:

"even though we cannot stop the passage of time, but we can dominate oneself

mood."

New Year, new opportunities, we need a new struggle. Wind is being tidal

flat, hereunder sails; No matter what happens, the more must be quickened his

horse. In the New Year, let us follow temple head, with the development of steps

to the glorious future -- -nikita Khrushchev and walked on.

I like winter best. Though it is very cold, it is good for skating. I often go skating on Sundays with my father.

When it snows, everything turns white. Trees and houses are covered with thick snow.

How beautiful the world looks!

My friends and I like to make snowmen. Sometimes we make snowballs and throw them at each other.

Thats a very interesting game. I like winter holiday very much because the Spring Festival is the happiest time of the year.

记得那是去年的冬天，爸爸带我到洛阳伏牛山滑雪场滑雪。这可是我第一次滑雪，既兴奋又紧张。

到了雪场上，我急忙换好雪服、穿上雪鞋，扛着滑雪板，跟着爸爸坐着“魔毯”登上初级训练场的山顶。

走到了半山腰，爸爸帮我穿上滑雪板，并且告诉我滑雪的要领。我按照爸爸的办法弯下腰，膝盖弯曲，重心向下，紧紧地抓住他的手，开始慢慢的往下滑。我紧张极了，心中默默祈祷：千万别摔倒呀!可是我的腿根本不听我的指挥，不停地抖动，雪板也不听话东扭西歪。就在这时，我没有掌握好平衡，狠狠地摔倒在地上。因为滑雪板被套在脚上，我怎么也站不起来。

我的眼泪一下子涌了出来，大声喊着：“爸爸，我的屁股好疼啊!我想回家!”

爸爸帮我把滑雪板从鞋上脱下来，扶我站了起来，对我说：“你现在要是回去，你就是个失败者，这么一点小小的困难就把你征服了?如果你能继续滑下去，我相信你一定能成为一名勇敢的成功者。”

我擦了擦眼泪说：“我决不做失败者!”爸爸又讲解了一遍动作要领，我鼓起勇气继续练习。慢慢的，我摔倒的次数越来越少了，信心也越来越强了。我终于能顺利地滑到山下。

时间过得真快，我们也该回家了，望着滑雪场上欢歌笑语的人们，我虽然摔得腰酸背痛，但我在一次次摔倒又爬起来的过程中体会到：遇到困难的事，不能灰心，更不能放弃，一直坚持下去，才能收获成功。

The Culture of China is home to one of the worlds oldest and most complex

civilizations. China boasts a history rich in over 5,000 years of artistic,

philosophical, political, and scientific advancement. Though regional

differences provide a sense of diversity, commonalities in language and religion

connect a culture distinguished by such significant contributions such as

Confucianism and Taoism. Confucianism was the official philosophy throughout

most of Imperial Chinas history and strongly influenced other countries in East

Asia. Mastery of Confucian texts provided the primary criterion for entry into

the imperial bureaucracy.

With the rise of Western economic and military power beginning in the

mid-19th century, Western systems of social and political organization gained

adherents in China. Some of these would-be reformers rejected Chinas cultural

legacy, while others sought to combine the strengths of Chinese and Western

cultures.

China is a unified nation consisting of many different ethnic groups.

Fifty-six different ethnic groups make up the great Chinese national family.

Because the Han people accounts for more than ninety percent of Chinas

population, the remaining fifty-five groups are generally referred to as "ethnic

minorities." Next to the majority Han, the Mongolian, Hui, Tibetan, and Uygur

peoples comprise the largest ethnic groups. Although Chinas ethnic minorities

do not account for a large portion of the population, they are distributed over

a vast area, residing in every corner of China.

Particularly since the implementation of Chinas opening and reform policy,

the central government has increased investment in minority areas and

accelerated their opening to the outside world. This has resulted in an upsurge

of economic development in these areas. Each of Chinas ethnic minority groups

possesses a distinctive culture. The Chinese government respects minority

customs, and works to preserve, study, and collate the cultural artifacts of

Chinas ethnic minority groups. The government vigorously supports the

development of minority culture and the training of minority cultural workers,

and fosters the development of traditional minority medicine.

The relation among Chinas ethnic groups can be described as "overall

integration, local concentration, mutual interaction." Concentrations of ethnic

minorities reside within predominantly Han areas, and the Han people also reside

in minority areas, indicating that there has been extensive exchanges among

Chinas ethnic groups since ancient times. With the development of the market

economy, interaction among ethnic groups has become even more active in the

areas of government, economics, culture, daily life, and marriage. Linked by

interdependence, mutual assistance, and joint development, their common goals

and interests creating a deep sense of solidarity, Chinas ethnic groups

resemble a great national family, together building Chinese civilization.

us life, but also raised and educated us. For our healthy growth, they broke

their hearts. We must pay attention to health, study hard, and repay our mother

with good health and good grades.

通过这次母亲节活动，我还知道了母亲节是每年五月的第二个星期天，这个节日最早起源于古希腊。

Through this mothers Day activity, I also know that mothers Day is the

second Sunday of May every year, which originated in ancient Greece.

这个母亲节过得真快乐!真难忘!

How happy mothers Day is! Its unforgettable!
