Father's Day:

In my family, I have a best friend, he has a standard set of features, a pair of eyes shining, a mouth can talk. He, is my dad.

Dad was poor since childhood and often studied on the back of a cow. It was this hard-working spirit that got him into a good university, and now he is trying to learn English to get to the next level.

Daddy is cheerful and has a sense of humor, as long as he is at home, that mouth is like a machine gun with the trigger pulled, the crackling can not be stopped. He often spoke the dialect of various places and sang songs that were out of tune to amuse us. When he told stories, he always told them in a colorful manner, with exaggerated gestures, which often made my mom and me laugh.

Today, I want to say to my dad: Happy Father's Day!

Mid-Autumn Festival:

This Mid-Autumn Festival has come and gone, and I've been moved. It seems that everything comes and goes in a hurry, and before you know it, it's already the 18th Mid-Autumn Festival.

Tonight, the heart can not be calm, in the surging, tossing and turning, I do not know whether the "heart cut" can be expressed.

Month, the British appearance is still, so bright, so I never thought she would change. The quiet moon, has quietly moon quietly climbed up the treetops, like a child's innocent face, the ghostly light on the leaves, and gently reflected back to the tree embellishments, a piece, a little bit, seem very mysterious. Gentle silver light sprinkled on the road, like a mother's hand caressing; she slipped into the heart of the people, like spring melting snow and ice, moisturizing, cool and light. She may be from heaven, she has the beauty of the Virgin Mary.

Such a beautiful moonlit night, I can not bear to do something else. This is a special night, I do not want to stir it, I am afraid of this beautiful girl hidden. Quiet night, quiet moon, this is God's favorite. I always want to keep this night (it's a luxury). It can't show up too often, but it's God's arrangement that this delicate beauty is to bring reunion and happiness to the people.

I was thinking: tonight, pour a cup of tea, a plate of delicious moon cakes, quietly leaning on the windowsill, the wind blowing, jasmine fragrance from the cup overflowed into the air. It's like being in a paradise. Tonight, a person alone cool, just invite the moon as a companion, listen to Chang'e sing, see Chang'e dance; with her thoughts, how lonely, and how intoxicated

"Mid-Autumn Festival is the most fragile season of the human heart". The full moon, hometown, and loved ones seem to be a great distance away tonight. Oh! It's nostalgia. My family is in another country, my hometown is far away. I look at the moon, suddenly there is a trace of relief, I received a distant blessing.

The moon is in the clouds, like a child in hide-and-seek, a moment hidden, a moment and then out. Watching the clouds slowly pass by the moon, I thought in a daze: Tonight, I will lose sleep, and like you, are silently praying for a distant place.

The moon, you are tired. Come on! Lie down in my cup, and I will keep vigil for you tonight.

The moon is bright and my heart is clear. Looking back, it's been eighteen Mid-Autumns.

The snow-white moonlight poured on the bed, and the beautiful melody of "Moonlight Song" came faintly.

In the full moon tonight, I embrace the moon dream sound

Annual National Day has come, the streets and alleys are beautifully decorated, lights and colors everywhere, overflowing with a festive atmosphere. Today the sun shines brightly, my mom and dad and I went out to play with a happy mood.

On the street, a brightly colored five-star red flag was inserted in front of every store. When the breeze blew, a red flag fluttered in the wind, showing the prestige of the Chinese people. I was dazzled by all the stores, but the only thing that stayed the same in every store was the special offers for National Day. The only thing that remains the same in every store is the discounts for the National Day. There are firecrackers and songs in every house, and every house is celebrating the National Day in a harmonious way.

Along the way, I saw a lot of cars driving around. The red lanterns hanging on both sides of the road, there are very good-looking lanterns, factories, stores are hanging in front of the colorful flags, where there is a lot of activity, there is a green lawn, there are colorful flowers, people are there to take pictures to commemorate the occasion. I also took one as a souvenir. People's Park is more beautiful and lively at night, the park entrance is full of cars.

People came here to watch the show, and it was very crowded and lively!

When people are overflowing with laughter, there are people who smile more comfortably than we do, and they still have injuries and pain, and there is still a belief in the revitalization of China in their hearts. They are the patriotic generals who sacrificed their lives for the sake of "today" and are the real heroes! National Day, is the motherland's birthday, but also their real meaning of the birthday.

Today I am very happy, and I will believe that the motherland will be better tomorrow.

The Dragon Boat Festival comes from the story of Qu Yuan: the patriotic poet Qu Yuan put forward a good idea to enrich the country and strengthen the people, but due to the corruption of the society at that time, his strategy was not only not adopted by the king, but also attacked and ostracized, and finally expelled from the capital city, exiled to the north of the Han Dynasty. Qu Yuan, who was a straightforward man, did not want to settle for anything less than the best, and jumped into the Miluo River to die in defense of justice. The local fisherman knew about this very painful, rowing a small boat to the Miluo River bamboo tube of rice to feed the fish to save Qu Yuan's body. Later, everyone changed the bamboo tube to rice wrapped zongzi, rowing the boat into a dragon boat race, and gradually formed a ritual. After every year on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month for the Dragon Boat Festival, people eat zongzi, dragon boat to commemorate the great patriotic poet. Our whole family greatly admires Qu Yuan's character and talent. Therefore, our family attaches great importance to the Dragon Boat Festival every year, and we must make dumplings in honor of Qu Yuan.

The custom of Dragon Boat Festival is to eat zongzi and race dragon boats. There are two shapes of zongzi: one is the ox-head zongzi and the other is the pointed-tail zongzi. Mom is the best dumpling maker in our family. Every year at the Dragon Boat Festival, our whole family can eat delicious dumplings. Mom used to say, "Rice dumplings made of reed leaves are the most fragrant." So, every year at the Dragon Boat Festival, my mom used reed leaves to wrap the dumplings. Before she wrapped the dumplings, the first good preparation: the reed leaves in warm water to soak a soak, the ready glutinous rice and dates, peanuts, respectively, washed and accompanied together. When the reed leaves cooled down, she began to pack the dumplings. She first took three leaves, the three leaves rolled into a cone, and then put a grain of date, then put glutinous rice inside, peanuts, and then clip a few slices of jujube meat in the middle, wrapped and then tied the grass rope is complete. Mom wrapped dumplings and big and strong, like a baggage, but also like a scale. Mom put them in the pressure cooker steam thirty minutes, and then soaked in soup for about an hour to make it taste, and then you can eat! Mom packaged dumplings fragrant, so that I drooled, sometimes a mouthful of actually eat several and then shy belly that naive people laugh.

In addition to eating rice dumplings at the Dragon Boat Festival, there are also dragon boat races!

I like to see the dragon boat race, dozens of sailors are holding the paddle coordinated, concerted efforts to paddle forward. The drums of the sailors high morale, hard drumming, "Come on, come on!" Cheerleaders outside the field , issued a thunderous shouts, cheers one after another, so that the sailors are more energized, and courageous ...... every year the dragon boat race scene is very spectacular.

The Dragon Boat Festival to eat zongzi, dragon boat racing is not only the traditional customs of the Chinese nation, but also the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture.

Today is Qingming Festival, a day to pay tribute to the deceased relatives. In the morning, I went to the tomb with my parents, on the way, I found that the original traffic on the street has become much cleaner, pedestrians on the road is scarce and in a hurry, usually everywhere in the cab today is also very few. This can not help but remind me of Du Mu's "Qingming": "Qingming Festival rains one after another, pedestrians on the road want to break their souls, I ask where there is a tavern, the shepherd boy pointed to the apricot village". This year's Qingming is also a drizzle, so that people's mood for no reason more than a few points of sadness. We came to the flower store, see the usual colorful flower store, today almost all are plain yellow chrysanthemums and white chrysanthemums replaced, we bought a pot of chrysanthemums, then, we ran to the destination.

Nearly to Longwang Mountain, I vaguely heard a string of firecrackers, it is some grave sweepers put, the drizzle in the gray smoke, as well as grave sweepers to the ancestors after the burning offerings in the air floating. After I came to Longwang Mountain, my father sent flowers to my grandmother and grandfather's tombstones, my aunt lit firecrackers, my grandmother burned offerings, and after lighting candles, we all paid homage and kowtowed. I heard some older people not far away talking about their own childhood stories and their parents when they were alive, and from time to time there were a few sighs of regret. Grandpa and Grandma also talked about their own mom and dad when they were alive, and they all said how happy they could have lived if they were still alive now.

On the way home, I saw a lot of foreign cars parked, my mother told me, these are from all directions to come back to pay homage to the ancestors of the car. Mom also told me about her childhood, mom said, "At that time, the family was not very rich, but, mom was always able to eat some cheap fruits from your grandmother and grandfather, and also able to get some pocket money, mom was considered a very happy child at that time." Speaking of which, there was something glum about mom. Although I didn't meet my grandmother and grandfather, I wish them a happy and comfortable life in heaven

5.1 Labor Day finally came I had breakfast and saw my mother busy. Sweeping and mopping the floor. I was so tired that my mom was sweating profusely. I see really bad taste, can not help but go up, "Mom, do you want me to help you do some work ah?" Mom said with a smile on her face, "Yes! Today is Labor Day." First, I began to clean the furniture and glass. I carefully and conscientiously wiped the house from end to end, from top to bottom with a rag, which was covered with dust. I was so tired that I was sweating profusely and couldn't catch my breath. But I thought to myself, "Sweeping is supposed to be hard work, but if I can't hold on for even a moment, won't what I just did be for nothing?" You have to finish what you start. So I started sweeping again. I didn't even spare the corners, and finally finished sweeping. On second thought, there were still rooms that I had forgotten to sweep, so I went in, skillfully took the broom, and slowly swept. Just as I was holding the handle of the broom to dig under the bed, I unexpectedly found two dead cockroaches! I could see how dirty my house was. Finally, I filled a bucket of water, washed the mop, twisted the water dry, and began to mop the floor. Holding the heavy mop, I slowly mopped from this side to that side, and then from that side to this side. When the water dried, I rinsed the mop again. When I finished all the work, I looked at the house again, and before the big cleanup is a world of difference!

Mom even praised me for being a good boy when she saw it.

After this cleaning, I know: "As long as you pay, you will be rewarded."

Time passes like a dream, in the blink of an eye to the August 1 Army Day, remembering those soldiers on the battlefield for the motherland fighting figure, I am very excited. Yes, they have paid too much for the motherland, too much, in the first of August, we have to bless the soldiers, for them to celebrate the first of August -- this soldier's holiday!

Remember when we were in elementary school, the teacher said, "Students, what are you going to be when you grow up?" Then everyone would answer in unison, "We want to be the People's Liberation Army when we grow up."

It is also remembered that when we were in elementary school, the teacher often said, "Classmates we want to learn Lei Feng, do good deeds, be a good person." So, we all fight to be the first to do good deeds: sweeping the floor, for the teacher to help, help classmates to hold the book, to help granny carry the bag ......

Remember our elementary school, the Wenchuan earthquake, many many PLA, overcoming one by one difficulties will be stranded people on out, how great, how selfless. And also recently, the flood outbreak, again the PLA into the first relief.

If you ask me what color I like best, I will answer without hesitation: "Olive green!" Because that is the color of the soldiers, in my heart that is never fade olive green!

My memory has a saying: more pursuit, less selfishness, more dedication, less demand!

This sentence is the most valuable quality of our contemporary soldiers.

Try to ask, who can do all this, who can survive the scorching sun, and who can put his life until outside the body - is the People's Liberation Army.

On this August 1 Army Day, I salute you - the people's sons and daughters!
