2024冬至英语小作文 篇1
On Thursday evening, my mother made my favorite Chinese New Year cake with turnip. I asked my mother, "Why do you cook Chinese New Year cake with turnip for me today?" Mother said: "Because tomorrow is the winter solstice, we Ningbo people have the custom of eating kohlrabi baked New Year cake the night before the winter
My mother said that the winter solstice is the longest night and the shortest day of the year. The winter solstice is also an important festival in China. Many places in the north eat dumplings on this day, many places in the south eat tangyuan, and we eat kohlrabi baked rice cakes in Ningbo, implying that we are going higher and higher.
Friday is the winter solstice. My mother got up very early in the morning and was busy for a long time. She cooked sweet potato soup for me. Although I didn't like it very much, my mother forced me to eat it. She said, "Eating this can turn over all the bad luck before." I wanted to go out for a walk in the evening. Later, my mother said that we should not go out on the winter solstice night. We Ningbo people have an old saying that we are sleepy at the winter solstice night. We will go to bed earlier this evening. I have no choice but to go to bed early.
Although the winter solstice is not a very interesting festival, I know a lot of customs and habits, and I know that after the winter solstice, the days will become longer and the nights will become shorter. What makes me happy most is that after the winter solstice, the spring I like is gradually approaching me.
