SpringFestival, also called the Chinese New Year is the biggest festival in ourcountry. It comes between late January and the middle of February. EveryChinese enjoys this festival very much.

春節(jié)，也叫做中國新年，是我國最大的節(jié)日。這是一月下旬和二月中旬之間。每個中國人都喜歡這個節(jié)日非常。

DuringSpring Festival, we have seven days off. We usually get together with ourfamilies on New Year’s Eve. We have so many delicious dishes, such as chicken,duck, fish, meat and so on. But we consider fish as our major dish, sincehaving fish represents a wish that we will be prosperous in the next year.However, people in the north often eat dumplings. It means to ring out the oldand usher in the new year. After supper, we always watch TV programs, theSpring Festival Gala is the tradition. Or we also play fireworks outside. Onthe first New Year's Day, we always pay New Year’s visit to our relatives andfriends, so as to exchange our best regards with each other.

春節(jié)期間，我們有七天的假期。我們通常會在新年前夕和我們的家人呆在一起。我們有很多美味的菜肴，如雞，鴨，魚，肉等。但我們把魚當(dāng)做我們的主要菜肴，因為魚代表著明年會變得更繁榮的希望。然而，北方人通常吃餃子。這意味著辭舊迎新。晚飯后，我們總是看電視節(jié)目，看春節(jié)聯(lián)歡晚會是傳統(tǒng)。或者我們也會到外面放煙花。在新年的第一天，我們總是一如既往地給親朋好友拜年，這樣可以為彼此交換誠摯的問候。

Bythe way, I think the children are the happiest ones, because they can weartheir new clothes and receive a lot of red envelopes.

順便說一下，我認(rèn)為小孩是最快樂的，因為他們可以穿新衣服，收到很多紅包。

How I wish every day is Spring Festival.
我多么希望每一天都是春節(jié)。
