2025-2026学年初高中暑假衔接英语应用文衡水体字帖（26）

告知一些中国的习俗 I’m glad to hear that you are coming to China. Let me tell you some customs in China. When you first meet someone, you’re supposed to shake hands instead of hugging or kissing the person.If you visit a Chinese friend, you should call first. You are supposed to bring your friend a small gift and you’d better arrive at your friend’s house on time. Chinese people usually use chopsticks at table and have some tea after meals. You are supposed to eat up the food that the host gives you. After meals, say something good about the food and have a small talk with your host. I hope that the advice is helpful. Please feel free to ask me if you want to know more. 1 / 1 我们一家的春节 The Spring Festival, China’s most important festival, falls on the first day of the lunar calendar, usually in late January or early February. It is a time for family reunions and celebrating a new year. Traditional foods matter much. Our family prepares dumplings, symbolizing wealth, and sweet rice cakes, meaning “getting better year by year”. On New Year’s Eve, my parents cook early: mom makes dumplings with various fillings, dad fries crispy spring rolls. The kitchen smells delicious all day.Relatives gather at our house in the evening. We sit around the table, sharing stories and laughing. After dinner, kids including me put on new clothes to set off small fireworks. The sky lights up, and we cheer. 1 / 2 At midnight, we watch the Spring Festival Gala and count down together. Being with family then makes me warm and happy. It’s the love and togetherness that make the festival special. 2 / 2 学习与父母相处 Today my topic is “Learn to get along with our parents” These days, most of us feel it is hard to get along with our parents. Many students have trouble in getting on with their parents. Let me tell you something about my problems. I often quarreled with my parents, so they do not like to talk with me. This is because parents only care for the marks. How can we solve the problem? Well, first we should respect our parents because they care for us all the time. Second we should do some housework at home. We should help clean the room, cook meals and so on. Third, we should care for them and have a talk with them about 1 / 2 their work. 2 / 2
