Answer 1

One possible version:
Being one of the traditional festivals in China, it is a time for family reunion, as many overseas friends have known. During this time, anyone who works away from their hometown will find his way back.
One day before the festival, like Christmas Eve, we Chinese celebrate the New Year’s Eve, when we visit relatives and friends, and we always have a feast to celebrate the completion of the previous year and the arrival of a new year. Children are always excited, because they always receive the “Red Envelope” containing pocket money from their aunts and uncles. When the clock strikes 12, the sky will be full of fireworks and the air laden with the smell of hope. Everyone, with a look of promise and prospect, shouts with delight and joy, “A new year has come!”

試題分析：本文是篇材料作文，材料非常簡(jiǎn)單，學(xué)生很容易把握寫作要求和寫作目的。考生在寫作之前必須認(rèn)真審題，首先要注意文章的時(shí)態(tài)，要求介紹中國(guó)“春節(jié)”及這個(gè)節(jié)日的主要活動(dòng)。所以要用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。 它是中國(guó)的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日之一，是家人團(tuán)聚的時(shí)候；各家走親訪友，一起吃年夜飯；大人給小孩壓歲錢，燃放煙花爆竹。 適當(dāng)增加細(xì)節(jié)，不能根據(jù)材料逐字逐句的翻譯，還應(yīng)該注意句子的銜接，從而提高作文的檔次。
【亮點(diǎn)說(shuō)明】文中使用了非常好的短語(yǔ)和句子為文章增色不少，比如Red Envelope，pocket money，be full of，還運(yùn)用了-ing形式做定語(yǔ)等 較復(fù)雜的句式。并注意了句子開(kāi)頭的變化等等。
