Around the world, people have different traditional foods to celebrate different festivals. Traditional foods also show a new year of good luck and good health.

In Britain, Christmas dinner has a meal of turkey, and it also has pies and plum puddings(李子布丁). In Germany, Christmas is celebrated with bread, cookies and cakes. In France, Christmas dessert is a cake filled with butter cream.

In southern parts of Indian, there is a three-day festival in mid-January called Pongal. It includes rice and a dish of rice cooked with sugar that is shared with relatives and friends.

Japan celebrates New Year with a seven-day festival. It begins from January 1st. Food is prepared before the festival so people don't need to cook during the festival. Sometimes they even go to the restaurants near their houses. On New Year's Day, various dishes called Osechi Ryori(御节料理) are served — each dish is a wish for the New Year.

In China, the New Year begins with the first Chinese Lunar month. Each place has its special food to welcome the coming year. People prepare their food ahead of time to avoid the possibility that using a knife during New Year's time might “cut luck”．Food with lucky names are popular, such as fish, which sounds like “surplus(剩余)”．And jiaozi means “getting richer and richer ”．

【作文失分点与高分句型】

◎失分点

节日类作文是学生熟悉的话题之一，学生写作时相对比较轻松。结合本篇作文来说，学生易失分的地方主要有：

1.对春节的了解不多，仅局限于提示信息，无法展开来叙述；

2.词汇和句式的储备不足，简单句运用太多，虽能避免错误，但会使整篇文章显得平庸，得不到高分。

◎高分句型(答案均在【佳作欣赏】中)

1.Now allow me to introduce an important festival in China，the Spring Festival.(用“one of the＋形容词最高级＋名词复数”结构)

2.People come back home and get together. (用“from different places” 和“for a big dinner”扩句)

3.Many people stay up late to welcome the new year.They hope they will have a bright new start.(用“v.ing表伴随结构”改写句子)

【佳作欣赏】

【名师点评】此篇作文无论是从结构上还是内容上都堪称是一篇佳作。首先，开篇点题，用一个祈使句直接引入要介绍的节日；其次，按照方框里的提示信息，依次介绍了春节的时间、庆祝春节的活动和春节的意义；最后，表达了对对方聆听的感谢。值得一提的是，文章采用了大量与春节相关的信息，如come back home from different places and get together for a big dinner，stay up late to welcome the new year，visit relatives and friends，get hongbao from elders。同时，句式结构多样，富有变化，充分体现了作者深厚的语言文化功底。
