The Spring Festival, falling on the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar, is the most important festival for all Chinese people. Although I have experienced it many times, it is still an enjoyable and exciting experience.
My favorite Spring Festival
Days before the Spring Festival, I helped my parents clean the room completely, decorated my house with papercuts, prepared delicious food, and stuck couplets, eagerly waiting for the coming of the New Year’s Eve .
On the Eve of the festival, my family members enjoyed getting together to have a big meal, including the tasty dumplings, fish and so on as we watched the Spring Gala, which was really a feast for the eyes. My parents gave me some lucky money in red paper and I was so excited that I stayed up to welcome the new year.
Although feeling tired, I was extremely happy because the Festival provides a valuable chance for us to enjoy as well as be proud of our customs. I’m looking forward to the coming of the next Spring Festival.

An unforgettable festival experience
Among traditional Chinese festivals, the Mid-Autumn Festival has always held a special place in my heart, especially the last one.
On that night, my parents and I planned to make our own Kongming lantern and fly it into the sky. To prepare for it, my mom bought materials online ahead of time, and my father was responsible for putting thing together according to the instructions. Finally , I wrote down our wishes on the lantern. When everything was ready, we couldn’t wait to go outside. When the lantern with our wishes flew away, my heart was full of happiness.
The festival experience made me realize the importance of family and inspired me to spend more time with my family.
Sample2
An unforgettable festival experience
As we all know, the Double Ninth Festival takes place on the 9th lunar month. But it was only las year that I learned the true meaning of the festival.
My parents and I hadn’t returned to my hometown for three years, and I hadn’t seen my grandparents in person for long. When the festival fell last year, my parents took me to climb a small hill. My father taught me to recognize dogwood (茱萸)and we picked some while climbing. On the top of the hill, the scene was so beautiful that I was eager to share it with my grandparents. When I spoke to them by video call, I couldn’t help crying . I showed the the dogwood and wished them all the best.
Through the festival, I developed a deeper understanding of the festival.
假定你是李华,你的留学生同学Elvis想要了解中国的传统节日。请你写封电子邮件向他介绍中国的元宵节(the Lantern Festival).内容包括:
1.节日简介;2.风俗习惯;3.邀请他一起过节。
注意:1.词数100左右;有关节日的写作
2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯
3.开头已经给出,不计入总词数。
Dear Elvis,
Yours,Li Hua
II写作思路(一审、二定、三明确、四分段)
(1)一审:确定写作体裁和主题体裁:应用文-电子邮件 主题:节日介绍
(2)二定(确定时态和人称)(与体裁和主题息息相关)时态:以一般现在时为主(介绍节日的情况),一般将来时为辅(邀请一起过节)
人称:以第一人称为主,第二人称为辅
(3)三明:确明确写作要点:了解对方要求→介绍元宵节情况→邀请对方共度节日
(4)四分段:黄金分段法则:结合文章要点采用三段式。
Dear Elvis,
