春节正式确定为联合国假日的英语作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Spring Festival is Officially a United Nations Holiday!Yay! I'm so excited to share the amazing news that the United Nations has officially declared Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival or Lunar New Year, as an international holiday! This means the whole world will now get to celebrate and learn about one of the most important and ancient celebrations of my culture.I remember when I first learned about the United Nations in school. My teacher explained that it's an organization with 193 member countries that works to promote peace, human rights, and international cooperation around the world. The UN has established important days like International Women's Day, World Environment Day, and now they've added Spring Festival to the list! How cool is that?Spring Festival is the biggest and most fun celebration in Chinese culture. We prepare for it weeks in advance by cleaning our homes from top to bottom to sweep away any bad luck andmake way for incoming good fortune. We decorate our houses with red lanterns, couplets with poetic sayings, and papel picado banners. My favorite part is hanging up the upside-down fu symbols on our front door - "fu" means blessings and good luck!The highlight of Spring Festival is the incredible feasts with all my extended family. We gather around circular tables piled high with dishes like dumplings, whole steamed fish, longevity noodles that you can't break while eating, and the most delicious sticky rice balls called tang yuan. Eating these foods is symbolic - for example, fish represents surplus and wealth for the coming year. My mouth waters just thinking about it!After our huge dinner, it's time for the kids to receive red envelopes filled with money from our parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles. We shout "Gong Xi Fa Cai! Gong Xi Fa Cai!" which means "Congratulations and be prosperous!" I always rush to carefully open my lucky red packets to see how much cash I've been gifted. Over the two-week celebration period, I end up with enough saved up for a new toy or video game!One of the most exciting Spring Festival traditions is watching or attending large parades and performances. Colorfully costumed dancers perform the classic lion or dragon dances on raised platform stages. The dances are meant to chaseaway evil spirits and bring good luck for the new year. The dancers move in energetic, percussive choreographies in sync with the rhythms of loud drumbeats and clashing cymbals. Sometimes folks will set off thousands of firecrackers and fireworks to amplify the celebratory atmosphere and make as much joyful noise as possible.My personal favorite Spring Festival activity is staying up late into the night before the new year arrives. We kids take turns using fresh wax and red paper stickers to decorate small, polished circular candles. Once the candles are intricately patterned with raised wax designs, we place them outside our front door and stay awake until the first rays of dawn on New Year's morning. When the candles finally burn out at daybreak, it symbolizes the old year departing and a fresh start for the coming year. I love watching the glow of that special vigil candle gradually flicker out and then opening the front door to be among the first people to kick off the new year!I'm so glad that now people from cultures all around the world can learn about Spring Festival and participate in the exciting holiday celebrations. At my school, kids from Chinese families shared red envelopes and delicious holiday treats like nian gao (sticky rice cake) with our classmates. We taught eachother words in different languages for "Happy New Year" and created Chinese paper lanterns to hang up in the hallways. My teacher explained that this holiday is all about spending quality time with loved ones, honoring your cultural traditions, and getting ready for a fresh start to the new year.My family and I were overjoyed when the United Nations officially made Spring Festival a globally recognized holiday. The UN announcement described it as "a thousands-of-years-old tradition (that) holds profound cultural connotations associated with peace, development and human values" and said celebrating Lunar New Year promotes mutual understanding between civilizations. Those words make me feel so proud of my heritage!I think it's wonderful that now people everywhere can opt to take off work or school to enjoy this vibrant and meaningful cultural festival. More communities will hopefully start putting on parades, markets, fireworks shows, and special performances for locals and visitors to experience. While many cities with large Chinese populations like New York, London, and Sydney have been celebrating the Lunar New Year for decades, I'm excited that smaller towns and cities will hopefully join in too.篇2Hooray, the Spring Festival is Now an Official United Nations Holiday!My name is Emily, and I'm a 4th grade student at Maple Grove Elementary School. I have some super exciting news to share with you all! Did you know that the Spring Festival, which is the most important celebration in Chinese culture, has recently been made an official United Nations public holiday? Isn't that just amazing?I remember learning about the Spring Festival, also called Chinese New Year, in my history and culture classes. It's a centuries-old tradition that marks the start of the new year on the Chinese lunar calendar. Families get together, enjoy delicious festive foods, give out red envelopes with money for good luck, and celebrate with fireworks, dances, and vibrant decorations of the color red. How fun does that sound?Last year, when I was in 3rd grade, my best friend Anna's family invited me over for their Spring Festival celebration. Her grandparents had flown in from Beijing to celebrate with them. I'll never forget the incredible feast they prepared - dumplings, noodles, whole roasted pig, sticky rice balls, and more dishes than I can remember! Everything was so delicious. Anna's grandma showed me how to wrap the dumplings and hergrandpa let me try using the chopsticks (which was really hard at first!).After we ate, Anna's parents gave her and her little brother traditional red envelopes with crisp dollar bills inside for good luck. They even gave me a red envelope too, which was so nice of them! Anna's grandparents loved watching us shriek with excitement over the money. We all got to stay up late that night to watch the amazing fireworks show her dad's friend put on in their backyard. I had never seen such colorful, loud fireworks before! The whole night was full of joy, laughter, and tasty treats.When I went back to school, I couldn't stop telling my classmates about the amazing Spring Festival celebration I got to be a part of. I drew pictures to show what the red envelopes looked like and tried my best to explain the different symbolic meanings behind the traditions. My teacher, Mrs. Huang, was born in Taiwan and she was so happy I had experienced an authentic Spring Festival. She let me share more details about it with the whole class during our culture lesson that week.A few months later, Mrs. Huang gathered us all on the classroom rug to share some really exciting news - the United Nations had officially voted to make the Spring Festival an annual worldwide public holiday! She explained that China hadcampaigned for years to have this important cultural celebration recognized on a global scale. I raised my hand and asked why it mattered for the United Nations to make it an official holiday.Mrs. Huang said there were a few key reasons why this was a big deal. Firstly, the Spring Festival is one of the most celebrated events in the world, with over a billion people across many nations and cultures taking part in the festivities each year. Making it an official UN holiday celebrates this rich tradition and the many Asian communities around the world who cherish it.Secondly, she told us this recognition promotes cultural understanding, diversity, and unity between all nations and people. With so many Chinese people and those of Asian descent living all over the world, having an internationally recognized Spring Festival holiday allows these communities to honor their heritage and share their traditions with openness and pride. Other cultures can also join in, learn about it, and experience the joyful celebration for themselves.Lastly, Mrs. Huang mentioned that making the Spring Festival a UN holiday was a sign of respecting and including Eastern cultures on a global scale. She said for too long, major Western holidays like Christmas had gotten most of the recognition worldwide. By adding the Spring Festival, it helpscreate more balance in HOW the world celebrates and WHAT traditions and cultures get highlighted each year.I remember leaving school that day, so excited and proud that the Spring Festival was going to be a worldwide public holiday! I couldn't wait to call Anna and her family to share the amazing news with them. They had moved away at the end of last year, but I knew they would be thrilled to hear this.Over the past few months, details have been getting figured out about how different countries and communities can choose to celebrate the Spring Festival as an official UN holiday. Some might give a day off from school and work, while others may have a parade or cultural festival. My town is planning a big party in the park with Chinese dancers, food trucks, games, and fireworks!I'm just so happy and proud that this important tradition is finally being valued and recognized all around the world. The Spring Festival brings so much happiness, food, culture, and fun festivities. I can't wait to make more memories celebrating it with my friends and experiencing the diverse traditions each year!Whether you've celebrated the Spring Festival before or not, I encourage everyone to learn about it and join in the excitement this year as an official United Nations holiday. Look up recipes totry different Chinese dishes. Hang red lanterns and decorations in your house for good luck and prosperity. If there are Spring Festival events happening in your town, go experience the lively dances, beautiful clothes, and delicious food. And don't forget to give out red envelopes with money to your loved ones!This is a chance for the whole world to come together, celebrate Asian culture and the start of the new year in such a joyous, vibrant way. I'm honored to be able to take part in these special traditions and share them with my classmates and community. Let's rejoice in the Spring Festival's messages of new beginnings, good fortune, and bringing family and friends together. Happy New Year, everyone!篇3Yay!

We call it the Spring Festival. It marks the beginning of a new year on the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar. The date changes every year but it's always sometime in late January or early February.For Chinese people, it's like Christmas, New Year's Day, and everyone's birthday all wrapped into one giant celebration. We spend weeks getting ready by cleaning our homes from top to bottom. We decorate with lots of red and gold decorations because those colors are very lucky. We also decorate with papercuttings of words and symbols like happiness, wealth, and longevity. My grandma is really good at making those papercuttings.The biggest part of getting ready is the food! We make lots and lots of different dishes like dumplings, noodles, fish, chicken, pork, and vegetables. Everything has a special meaning for the new year. Like long noodles represent long life.

After dinner, the kids get red envelopes filled with money from the older relatives. That's my favorite part! We're not allowed to go to sleep until after midnight.

This is so exciting for me and my family. We've always celebrated Chinese New Year, but now the whole world gets to join in on the fun and traditions. Let me tell you all about why this holiday is so special.Every year, Chinese New Year falls on a different date between January 21st and February 20th. It marks the start of a new year on the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar. 2024 is the Year of the Dragon, which is considered to be a very lucky year. People born in the Year of the Dragon are thought to beenergetic, successful, and born leaders. I'm a Dog, which means I'm supposed to be loyal and honest. My best friend is a Rat, so she's clever and quick-witted according to the zodiac.The celebrations for Chinese New Year actually start on New Year's Eve and carry on for about 2 weeks until the Lantern Festival. On New Year's Eve, we have a huge feast called the Reunion Dinner with all of our family members. My favorite dishes are the dumplings, noodles, fish, and niangao (those sticky sweet rice cakes). Yum!After dinner, my siblings and I get red envelopes filled with money from our parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. We're supposed to keep the red envelopes and not open them until after midnight on New Year's Day. That's so hard because I really want to know how much money is inside! The red color symbolizes good luck.At midnight, fireworks and firecrackers go off everywhere to scare away any evil spirits from the past year. We watch amazing fireworks shows on TV and sometimes we even set off a few small firecrackers in our backyard if it's allowed that year. The loud popping sounds are meant to wake up the Heavenly Gods too.On New Year's Day, the first person to visit your home in the new year needs to be someone who will bring you luck for the rest of the year.

This means that people all over the world will get to celebrate the most fantastic festival on Earth together. I'm so thrilled about this, I can hardly contain my excitement!For those of you who might not know, the Chinese New Year is the biggest and most important celebration in Chinese culture. It's a time when families get together, celebrate the coming of a new year, and wish for good luck and prosperity. The celebrations usually last for about two weeks, and they're filled with amazing traditions like decorating with red lanterns, eating delicious foods like dumplings and noodles, receiving redenvelopes with money inside, and watching spectacular fireworks displays.One of the coolest things about the Chinese New Year is that each year is represented by a different animal from the Chinese zodiac. There are twelve animals in total, and they repeat in a cycle every twelve years. This year is the Year of the Rabbit, which means that people born in this year are said to be lucky, kind, and gentle. Next year will be the Year of the Dragon, which is considered to be the luckiest and most powerful animal in the zodiac. I can't wait until it's the Year of the Monkey again because monkeys are my favorite!The Chinese New Year is celebrated not just in China, but also in many other countries around the world where there are large Chinese communities. Some of the biggest celebrations happen in places like Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and even in cities like New York, London, and Sydney. Imagine how amazing it will be now that the whole world gets to join in the fun!I can picture it now – classrooms filled with red decorations and lanterns, teachers wearing traditional Chinese outfits, and all of us students learning about the rich history and traditions behind the Chinese New Year. We'll get to watch videos of the incredible parades and performances that happen in differentcities, and maybe even try our hand at making some traditional Chinese crafts or foods.No matter how each country chooses to celebrate, I'm sure it will be absolutely incredible. Just imagine the sense of unity and togetherness that will fill the air as people from all walks of life come together to welcome in the new year with joy, laughter, and hope for a prosperous future.For example, we'll need to learn about the importance of the color red, which is believed to bring good luck and ward off evil spirits. We'll need to understand the symbolism behind the different foods that are eaten during the celebrations, like dumplings representing wealth and noodles representing longevity. And we'll need to appreciate the deep spiritual and philosophical meanings behind traditions like sweeping out the old to make way for the new, and the importance of family reunions and paying respects to ancestors.It's not just about having fun and enjoying the festivities –it's about truly embracing and honoring the richness of Chinese culture and the values that have been passed down for thousands of years.I'm sure that schools and communities all over the world will rise to the challenge and make sure that the Chinese New Year iscelebrated in a respectful and authentic way. Teachers and parents will take the time to educate us about the history and traditions, and we'll all learn valuable lessons about cultural appreciation, diversity, and the importance of unity and togetherness.And who knows, maybe someday in the future, when we're all grown up, we'll be the ones passing down these traditions and teachings to the next generation. We'll be the ones telling stories about how the Chinese New Year became a globally celebrated event, and how it brought people from all corners of the world together in a spirit of joy, hope, and celebration.Until then, I'm going to start practicing my lion dance moves and brushing up on my Chinese calligraphy skills. Because when the next Chinese New Year rolls around, you can bet that I'll be ready to celebrate in style!

My favorite part is getting to eat so many delicious dumplings!My family is Chinese-American, so we go all out for Spring Festival every year. My grandparents host the whole family at their house for an incredible feast. The house gets decorated with red lanterns, papercuttings, and couplets with good luck sayings written on them. I perform in the neighborhood lion dance troupe with my little brother. It's always such a fun and exciting couple of weeks.Even though my parents and grandparents were born in China, I was born here in the United States. Spring Festival was still a really big part of my life growing up though. My mom and dad made sure my brother and I understood all the traditions and symbolism behind the different customs. They wanted us to have a strong connection to our Chinese heritage.At school though, none of my friends or teachers ever knew what I was talking about when I mentioned Spring Festival. They weren't familiar with any of the traditions or food. Every year when it was time for winter break, I got so excited thinking I'd get two whole weeks off for Spring Festival. Then I was so disappointed to realize I only got the regular one week break! I had to go to Chinese school on Sundays to make up for missing so many days of the festival.I never understood why Spring Festival wasn't an official public holiday here like all the other major holidays. After all, there are millions of Chinese and Chinese-American families who celebrate it just like my family does. Plus, the Lunar New Year is also a huge deal in Korea, Vietnam, Singapore and lots of other countries across Asia. Why wasn't such an important cultural celebration recognized on calendars and at schools?Well, I'm thrilled to announce that has finally changed! Earlier this year, the United Nations officially voted to make the Lunar New Year a globally recognized public holiday. That means kids across the world will get a couple weeks off from school to celebrate Spring Festival just like the Christmas and New Year's break. Isn't that incredible news?My family is over the moon about this. We've been counting down the days for months in anticipation. No more having to choose between going to school or honoring our traditions. No more having to cram all the fun Spring Festival activities into just the weekends and evenings. We'll finally get to experience the full two-week celebration!I can already picture how amazing it will be. My grandparents will make enormous batches of dumplings, nian gao, steamed cake, and candies for us to feast on every day. We'll kick off the party by watching the annual Spring Festival television gala, then set off firecrackers and fireworks in the street after midnight. My cousins and I get to stay up super late without having to worry about school the next day. We'll play games, give each other lucky red envelopes, and eat way too many snacks.During the day, we'll make trips to the flower markets and Chinatown to soak up all the sights, smells and traditional performances. I'll get a brand new outfit with pockets to put crisp dollar bills in for good luck. The local Buddhist temple always hosts a huge fair too, so we'll go watch the dragon dances and eat from the fun food stalls. Maybe I'll even get a chance todo a palm reading or have my name written in beautiful Chinese calligraphy.In between all the festivities, we'll take time to clean and decorate our home to clear out any bad luck and make way for incoming good fortune. We always hang up bright red banners and couplets with poetic sayings to welcome the new year. The evenings get quieter as we'll do lots of visiting with family, friends, and neighbors. We'll playmahjong, poker, and chat over huge platters of candied fruits, seeds, and snacks.I'm just so glad that now the whole world gets to experience the joy and excitement of Spring Festival celebrations! My classmates and teachers will finally understand why I look forward to this time of year so much. Kids from all backgrounds will get to learn about ancient Chinese customs and maybe even join in some of the traditions themselves. I can't wait to bring in dumplings to share with everyone and show them the fun games we play.More importantly, I'll no longer feel left out or have to miss any of the Spring Festival fun. For the first time, the holiday break will match the actual two week duration of celebrations! My family can honor every custom and auspicious activity withoutany conflict. This UN holiday is a huge milestone in recognizing the importance of the Lunar New Year on a global scale.I hope you're as thrilled as I am about this amazing news.

Who knows, you might just decide to join the billion plus people around the world who celebrate this incredible new year too! I'd be more than happy to teach you about the meanings behind the different customs. Here's to an extra long winter break filled with dumplings, lanterns, red envelopes, and lots of new year luck!。
