初三英语作文《my happiness》

Answer 1

When I was a child, like many other children, Chinese Spring Festival was my favorite holiday. At that time, the Festival was full of happiness and expectation.
I remember that I spent the Spring Festival in Guangzhou for the first time. Someone said: “People in Guangzhou are those who really bring spring to their homes.” And I quite agreed with it. So before that Spring Festival, father went to the market and bought some plants back. It was a little orange tree, I had never seen it before, so I looked at it with great interest. I asked Dad if I could have some. Dad laughed, and told me this kind of oranges was not for eating, but for its symbolic meaning, it could bring us good luck. Dad also bought some color lights to make the orange tree more beautiful. Then he put it near the window. We lived in a small room, and it was not as big as the house we now live in. But when my family and I saw the colorful tree, we all felt warm and nice. We enjoyed it very much. Having a wonderful dinner on the Spring Festival Eve is my family’s tradition, and this wasn’t changed., So before that Spring Festival Eve, we listed some food which is our favorite on a piece of paper, then my parents spent several hours preparing it. At the dinner table, we cheered, gave good wishes to each other, tasted the food, said “how delicious they are”, which made Mum---the cook satisfied. The unusual dinner lasted one hour. Then we sat down enjoying the programs on TV together. We laughed, made jokes with each other. How peaceful it was! When 12 o’clock arrived, we all went out, saying “Happy Chinese Spring Festival” to everyone. We were all cheerful.
As time went by, Chinese Spring Festival is less exciting, although we put more and more color lights around the room. We still bought orange tree every year, and our house is more and more beautiful. I just think something was missing. People now don’t like having dinner at home on the Spring Festival Eve. They have dinner at a great restaurant, and they keep on giving and receiving lucky money, and the money is more and more. But I think all these thins are not important. The most important thing is that people whom you care about can stay together and enjoy the happy time with you.
