Beautiful English excerpted from the Spring Festival 1 Celebrate the Spring Festival.
Spring Festival is a traditional festival for China people. Every household is decorated with lanterns, red couplets and red lanterns hanging in the streets, showing a lively and festive holiday scene everywhere.
On New Year's Eve, each of our children put on new clothes early and looked refreshed. Grandma praised me for being handsome. My mother prepared a delicious New Year's Eve dinner, with my favorite braised pork, lobster and fried fish ... Our family sat around the big round table and raised their glasses to each other. I raise my glass to wish my grandparents a long and healthy life. I wish mom and dad all the best in their work. My parents and grandparents also wish me to study hard and make progress every day. They also gave me a lot of lucky money, and my heart was filled with joy, thanking them for giving me a happy home.
After dinner, my family went to the yard to set off fireworks. I lit the fuse with my father in one hand. Suddenly, there was only a sound of "sou-",and fireworks were flying and exploding in the sky. Some bloomed colorful flowers, some put together various beautiful patterns, and some lit up the sky like beautiful parachutes. We shouted and laughed happily. ...
After the fireworks, we went back to the house and sat on the sofa watching the wonderful program "Spring Festival Gala" broadcast by CCTV, which made us laugh.
I spent a year laughing and laughing. Tomorrow, we will be one year older.
Excerpt from Spring Festival English 2. The Origin of the Spring Festival
In ancient China, there was a monster called Nian, which had a long, pointed head and was fierce. I lived at the bottom of the sea for many years in. Every new year's eve, it climbs ashore to devour livestock and hurt people's lives. Therefore, every New Year's Eve, people in the village help the elderly and take care of the young, and flee to the mountains to avoid the injury of the year.
On New Year's Eve this year, the villagers were busy packing their bags and fled to the deep mountains. At this time, an old man with white hair came to the east of the village and told an old woman that he would drive Nian beast away as long as he was allowed to stay in her house for one night. People don't believe it. The old woman advised him to go up the mountain to avoid. The old man insisted on staying. When they saw that he couldn't stay, they went up the mountain to hide.
When the beast was ready to break into the village and wreak havoc as usual, suddenly there was firecrackers from the white-haired old man. Nian beast trembled and never dared to move forward. Originally, Nian beast was most afraid of red, fire and explosion. When Daimon Masaru opened it, he saw an old man in a red robe laughing in the hospital. Years frightened to disgrace, fled in haste.
The next day, when people returned to the village from the deep mountains, they found the village safe and sound. It suddenly dawned on them that the white-haired old man was the fairy who helped everyone drive away the "Nian" beast, and people also found three magic weapons for the white-haired old man to drive away the "Nian" beast. From then on, every year on New Year's Eve, every family posted red couplets and set off firecrackers, and every family was brightly lit. This custom spread more and more widely and became the most solemn traditional festival in China.
