立冬与立春、立夏、立秋合称四立,在古代社会中是个重要的节日,这一天皇帝会率领文武百官到京城的北郊设坛祭祀。在现在,人们在立冬之日,也要庆祝一下。我国过去是个农耕社会,劳动了一年的人们,利用立冬这一天要休息一下,顺便犒赏一家人一年来的辛苦。有句谚语“立冬补冬,补嘴空”就是最好的比喻。
在我国北方,特别是北京、天津的人们爱吃饺子。为什么立冬吃饺子呢?因为饺子是来源于“交子之时”的说法。大年三十是旧年和新年之交,立冬是秋冬季节之交,故“交”子之时的饺子不能不吃。现在的人们已经逐渐恢复了这一古老习俗,立冬之日,各式各样的饺子卖得很火。
而在我国南方,立冬人们爱吃些鸡鸭鱼肉。在台湾立冬这一天,街头的‘羊肉炉’、‘姜母鸭’等冬令进补餐厅高朋满座。许多家庭还会炖麻油鸡、四物鸡来补充能量。
Dear Mary,
You said in your letter that many of your classmates wore fashionableclothes, but you couldn\'t afford them so you felt very depressed. There are dif-ferent views on people\'s clothes. The followings are my ideas:
Firstly, you shouldn\'t put too much emphasis on physical appearance.
Remember that the most important task for you today is to concentrate on yourstudies. No matter what you wear, you will really look your best when youcome out first in your examinations.
Secondly, you should understand that it is a fine virtue to live in fru-gality. Just as a famous saying goes, Frugality is the mother of virtue.
Since your family can\'t provide you with enough money to buy fashionableclothes, it is all the more necessary for you to try to lighten the financialburden of your family. And you will find the virtue of frugality benefit youa lot in your future life.
I hope you understand what I mean. Hope you will take a positive attitudetowards life and will be happy again when you read my letter.
Yours,
Anne
Dear all,
I am writing this letter to express my gratitude to my parents for teaching me to be positive and to be strong. “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” is the opinion held by Aristotle. It is the experience of our forefathers, however, it is correct even today, including my parenting.
It is widely acknowledged that parenting, which can also be explained as family education, is of great significance in our character forming and manner acquiring. To be more detailed, setting good examples instead of just giving precepts is the greatest achievement of my parents. They not only taught me to think for the best and prepare for the worst; they taught me how. They not only told me the benefits of being strong in mind; they proved it. All those things require huge amount of time and work, but it’s worth it.
Without my parents’ contribution and education, I would never be who I am now. But most importantly, I would never be more gratitude to them than today.
Yours,
XXX
