【今日话题】

在大年三十晚上,我写了一段有趣的日记,再次和大家分享 ——大年三十晚上 is called Spring Festival as well. Spring Festival is the most important Chinese festival in a year. Every household 贴春联 on his doors and walls。The old and the young all 穿新装. On New Year's Eve, each family 团聚在一起, eating, talking and watching TV for almost the whole night. Children like to放鞭炮 and we open all the lights to wait for the new year to come. During the festival,the relatives and friends would 窜门to send New Year's greetings to each other.We can see colorful睡莲船, 荷花灯,红灯笼, 春联, which composes a festive and joyful scene! 大年三十晚上就是春节,春节是中国人民最重要的节日。一到春节,家家户户都贴春联,老老少少皆穿新装。全家人都聚在一起吃团圆饭,又是说又是笑,边看电视,边等着新年的到来。小孩子喜欢放鞭炮。在春节期间,亲朋好友之间要互相拜访,互相问候。我们可以看到彩莲船、荷花灯、红灯笼、春联,一个个喜庆的场面则一幅幅美丽的画帘。
