初中英语中考作文题目

题目，假如你是李华，你的美国笔友Tom想了解中国的传统节日，你给他写一封邮件，介绍中国的传统节日春节。

Dear Tom,。

How are you doing? I am glad to hear that you are interested in Chinese traditional festivals. In this letter, I would like to introduce to you the most important traditional festival in China the Spring Festival.

The Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year, is the most important festival in China. It usually falls on the first day of the Chinese lunar calendar, which is different from the Gregorian calendar used in the western world. The festival lasts for 15 days until the Lantern Festival, which is the last day of the Chinese New Year celebration.

Before the Spring Festival, people usually clean their

houses thoroughly, decorate their homes with red lanterns, couplets, and other decorations, and buy new clothes and shoes for themselves and their families. They also prepare a lot of delicious food, such as dumplings, fish, and rice cakes, for the New Year's Eve dinner, which is the most important meal of the year. During the dinner, family members sit together, eat, chat, and watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV.

On the first day of the Spring Festival, people usually wear new clothes and visit their relatives and friends to exchange greetings and gifts. Children are given red envelopes with money inside, which is believed to bring them good luck and fortune in the new year. People also set off fireworks and firecrackers to drive away evil spirits and welcome the new year.

During the 15-day celebration, there are many other customs and traditions, such as the dragon and lion dance, the temple fair, and the lantern festival. These activities are full of joy, happiness, and auspiciousness, and they reflect the rich cultural heritage of China.

I hope this brief introduction to the Spring Festival has given you a glimpse of Chinese traditional festivals. If you have any questions or want to know more about Chinese culture, please feel free to ask me.

Best wishes,。

Dear Tom,。

I was thrilled to receive your letter, and I'm glad to hear that you are interested in learning more about Chinese culture. In this letter, I would like to introduce you to one of the most significant traditional festivals in China the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth lunar

month, which usually falls in September or October. This festival is a time for family reunion, just like

Thanksgiving in America. People usually take a day off from work or school to spend time with their loved ones.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history, dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907). The legend goes that a beautiful lady named Chang'e swallowed a magic pill and flew to the moon, where she lived happily ever after. To commemorate her, people eat mooncakes, which are round pastries with various fillings, such as lotus seed paste, red bean paste, and egg yolk. Eating mooncakes symbolizes family reunion and good luck.

Besides mooncakes, people also enjoy other traditional foods, such as pomelos, taros, and sweet potatoes. They also light lanterns, which come in different shapes and sizes, such as rabbit, pig, and dragon. The lanterns are usually decorated with colorful paintings and riddles, and they add a festive atmosphere to the celebration.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, people also appreciate

the full moon, which is believed to be the brightest and roundest on this day. They sit outside, admire the moon, and share their feelings and stories with each other. It is a romantic and peaceful moment, and it reminds people of the beauty and mystery of nature.

I hope this brief introduction to the Mid-Autumn Festival has piqued your interest in Chinese culture. If you have any questions or want to know more, please don't hesitate to ask me.

Best wishes,。

Li Hua。
