New Year's Day and Chinese new year New Year's Day is January 1st and it is the first day of the year on the solar calendar. Each year in this festival,my school hold a new year's gala,so do this year. And my parents and i watched the New Year Eve Party on TV. Sometimes we go out for a trip with friends. I think that it is all to celebrate New Year's Day. After all, it is just a common festival in China. However,Chinese new year is a traditional festival which has a long history in China,it is called 'Spring Festival' as well. It is in late January or early February for the most part and it's the first day on the lunar calendar. We have a long holiday during this time. As for me,i like Chinese new year more. I can always get a great deal of money. Chinese people called it 'red pocket' or 'lucky money' and it is also a traditional custom,so the children are the happiest at this time of a year. Apart from this,my parents and i often do some shopping and cleaning,and we go to our relatives' s and friend's house for a visit. People send gifts to each other. In New Year's Eve,we often eat food like dumplings and spend the whole night together. The dinner is tasteful and delicious,for it not only a dinner but also a family meeting. We also watch Spring Festival Evening Party and let of fireworks.The sound of firecrackers don't disappear and lasts the whole night. Anyway,Chinese new year is the most important festival for not only my family but also every family in China. It is also the symbol of the arrival of a new year in China. Everyone thinks highly of it. No matter where the family members are,they will manage to go back home for family reunions. So they are New Year's Day and Chinese new year. I estimate that you have further understood them now,right?

Something about myself This term has gone and i also got a lot from it. In school,i took part in School Volleyball Team because i liked volleyball though i was not very tall,it couldn’t stop my passion for volleyball. After the middle exam,the school held a volleyball game and we joined it.I always thought that we were the best.The volleyball game needed cooperation,in other words,that is Team Work.Maybe we were not very good at first but gradually we would know that cooperation was very important so we played very well in the end,we got the first! Now let i talk about something that our team of Spoken English.I thought that we each one were all very hard and we spent a lot of time on work.That period of time would be a good memory in my mind.The activity also needed cooperation and it was the most important so when we did the work ,we met many problems.At first,we should prepare a story but it was impossible for everyone that had the same idea.So about this,we even argued and four stories which we prepared couldn’t pass.At that time,i even wanted to give up and not only me but also everyone was sad.I knew that we must work harder and cooperate to finish the work.So some members besides me were making the book hardly even we drew it until the early hours of the morning.And i thought that our decoration was great.I knew that our teaching was not very good so we got 80 points at last.I thought that i was not confident and that was my shortcoming so i must defeat it. I thought that this kind of activity was meaningful and it made us realize the importance of Team Work and other things such us working harder,ample preparation and your thinking.All of these could help us on the future road which being a teacher.
