中秋节英语作文：我心中的中秋节作文首先，我想说说月饼。我喜欢吃月饼，因为我希望以后能成为一名飞行员。中秋节那天，月亮又大又圆，就像美丽的盘子挂在蓝色的衣服上一样。 　　I think Mid-Autumn Day is an old traditional festival in China. Everybody likes it because it's a family get-together. You see it is called"Mid-Autumn Day"，so it often comes in September or October. It is on the 15th of the 8th of the lunar month. Now， let's say something about this interesting festival.
&　　Firstly, I'd like to say something about the moon. I like it very much because I want to be an astronaut in the future. That day the moon is round, big, just like a beautiful plate hanging on the blue cloth. When I see the moon, I will remember the ancient myths――the godess Chang Er and her little &rabbit are playing under the tree which Wu Gang grows. I will also think about Armstrong's first moonwalk. I will also miss the friends in Tai-wan island, in Macao and Chinese people who are abroad. I know they are missing us very much, too.
　　Secondly, I'11 say something about the tradition on Mid-Autumn Day. Look！There's a big tree in a garden of a Chinese fami-ly. All the family members are sitting around a big table under the tree in the open air. They are eating the mooncakes and admiring the full moon in the sky. That is a family reunion dinner. The mooncakes and the moon represent the love from a family. I think this is one of the most valuable things in the world.
　　Thirdly，it is a very good opportunity to make three wishes on Mid-Autumn Day. My wishes are: the first, I, an astronaut in the future, would like to go to the moon one day, and stay wi the second, I hope every person in the world will stay with family, share love fro the third, I hope everybody's dream will come true.
　　That is the Mid-Autumn Day in my mind. I will always re-member: East or West, home is best.

It is quite appropriate to bring moon cakes with you in token of festival greetings when calling on people during this season.

Sitting or lying on the soft grass, some of us chat happily and others listen to music. And amidst shouts and laughter of children chasing around excitedly, I sit quietly at a corner watching the bright, beautiful moon.

中秋节的一件事作文400字
篇一：快乐的中秋节[400字] 王浩飞
　　今天是中秋节，是一家人团聚的日子。一大早爸爸、妈妈就带我去奶奶家，我有一段时间没见爷爷奶奶了，我很想快点见到他们。
　　我一来到奶奶家，爷爷奶奶见到我可高兴了，拉着我和他们说话，他们一会儿问我学习怎么样，一会儿问我身体怎么样，我一一回答了他们的问题，奶奶还拿出好多好吃的让我吃。爷爷告诉我上学一定要认真，要把老师讲的知识真正的学会，奶奶让我写作业要抓紧时间，不要拖得太晚。
　　正说着话，就听见大伯说开饭了，我冲到饭桌前一看，大伯做了一大桌子的菜，有鱼，有虾，有红烧肉，还有我最爱吃的鸡翅，我迫不及待想把它们一一扫光，我一坐到凳子上，就先吃了三个鸡翅，我还是有点馋，就又吃了一个鸡翅，另外还吃了5、6个虾，又狼吞虎咽的吃了一碗泡饭，这顿中午饭就算吃完了。
　　下午，二伯下班后也回来了，我也很长时间没见他了，二伯总是逗我玩，今天一见我就和我嬉闹起来，一大家子人团聚到一起真是热闹啊！吃过晚饭本想赏月的，可是天上的云太多了，看不见月亮，只好等明天看了。
　　这是一个多么愉快的中秋节呀！
篇二：下大雨的中秋节[400字]
　　今天是我国的传统节日中秋节，不巧的是这两天气都不太好，秋雨绵绵，想去哪玩都很不方便。还好今天上午雨停了，中午做完作业，爸爸妈妈带我去丰庆公园玩。我们在那里转了一圈，感觉好多游乐项目都太危险，最后决定画画。
　　我在好多画框当中挑出来了一幅数字油画 ：一只小白兔准备出去采花，远处还有山，有树，还有房子，还有一只围着她飞舞的小蜜蜂。接下来，我跟妈妈打开颜料就开始涂色，刚涂完一半，天又下起了雨，还越下越大，画画的地方又漏雨，我们只好拿着半成品回家。
　　回家后，正赶上奶奶包的肉饺子出锅，样子圆圆的、鼓鼓的、白白胖胖的，味道又香又好吃，这可是奶奶专门为了过节包的。
　　吃完饭，我张罗了好多水果、月饼和小食品，摆在托盘里，放在窗前。因为在我们老家有一个习俗，那就是八月十五晚上献月亮，也就是要把好吃的东西都敬献给中秋夜的月亮，然后才可以自己吃。尽管今天下大雨看不见月亮，我还是按照老家的习惯摆了好多好吃的，希望躲在云后边的月亮能和我们分享月饼和水果。
　　中秋节，我还收到了好多礼物，像马卡龙礼盒、巧克力礼盒、帕夫林蛋糕，还有一只可爱的毛茸茸的小熊猫毛绒玩具，我都很喜欢，那盒巧克力好吃的让我想再吃一块、再吃一块&&篇三：中秋节大团圆[400字]
　　早上，我从床上起来，忽然想起了今天是中秋节，我多么希望今天会是一个晴天啊！我快速地拉开窗帘，看到外面的天空却是灰蒙蒙的，我很失望。今天是中秋节，我多想晚上吃月饼时候能看到又大又圆的明月，真希望晚上天气能变好吧！
　　今天中午，我们要和奶奶大伯家一起吃团圆饭。我和哥哥在楼下玩起了飞机。外面的风很大，我们飞机飞得很快，一不小心撞到了奶奶的身上。奶奶笑着说：&这俩个孩子要制造交通事故吗？&大家都乐了。很快到了饭店，菜上齐了。大家都举起酒杯，互相祝福着节日快乐。
　　晚上，家里的桌子上都摆满了各式各样的美味佳肴。有香气四溢的炒菜；有又大又圆的红苹果，有一串串晶莹剔透的葡萄，还有新鲜的石榴，尝一粒小小的石榴籽准让你的大牙都酸掉。姥姥打开了一盒印着福禄寿喜的月饼，喊着：&天天，快来吃福气饼了！&我很纳闷，为什么是福气饼呢？这时妈妈说：&为了姥姥、姥爷身体健康，请你们吃寿字饼吧。&爸爸分到了禄字饼，妈妈笑着吃了喜字饼。这时我知道了，圆圆的月饼不仅象征着团圆，更是带给大家美好的祝愿。
　　晚上的天空还是雾蒙蒙的，看来今年的中秋节是看不到月亮了，我有些失望。但是能和全家人一起过中秋节，我还是觉得很幸福、快乐！
篇四：快乐的中秋节[400字] 郭子翰
　　今年的中秋节放了三天假。
　　第一天，我们去叔叔家和我妹的外婆外公吃了一顿饭。有螃蟹，有酸菜炒青蛙肚，有鱼丸汤，有青蛙腿，还有红烧鱼，吃的饱饱的。过了一会儿，我在叔叔家还跳了一会儿绳，有前挽花后挽花和竞速，可好玩了。我还和我妹妹玩了一会儿。
　　但是我这个中秋最开心的事，是我爸爸妈妈给我买了一辆变速车，是捷安特。我们到金花看到了一辆2980的马拉蒂尼，妈妈说太贵了。我们又去了大润发，看到了一个1050的车妈妈说可以，于是妈妈就给我买了，还装了个水壶架，看上去非常不错，我的心里是超级无敌大高兴！正在这时，妈妈又说了一件让我更开心的事，带我去吃DQ冰淇淋！我的心情就像买玩具一样高兴！实在是太高兴了！我们吃完了来取车，本来想能玩一会，因为太晚了，所以就回家了。
　　第二天，妈妈爸爸和爷爷奶奶姥姥姥爷还有我的妹妹一起去爬华山。华山很高，很美。我们先坐缆车到了华山最高顶。哇！坐缆车的时候居然有雾，像白云一样在我们的旁边，我觉得自己就像在云里穿来穿去。一到上面，看见了蓝天，好多好多的山，有好多的小鸟，我爸爸连忙举起相机咔嚓咔嚓的拍，实在是太美了！不知道你们有没有去看啊，我的同学？
篇五：难忘的中秋聚会[400字]徐晨玮
　　过中秋节的那一天，我们幼儿园太阳班在丰庆公园聚会。我一到金湖，小伙伴们就向我冲过来。其中，刘吉锤咝说乇ё盼遥盟谋羌獠湮伊常跤锷显诹硪槐咭惨恢北ё盼摇Ｎ宜担&我快喘不过气儿了！&，但是我心里很激动！我们的同学们高兴地在一起奔跑玩耍，可开心了！郭子和的妈妈做了一些月饼给我们发，阿姨做的月饼可好吃了。忽然，我听到有人在说：&李老师来啦！&。我一听，不对呀！妈妈明明说老师来不了啊。但是我转过头一看，男李老师真的来了，我心里太高兴了，简直高兴得不得了，我赶紧跑过去就抱住了他，别的同学也冲过来抱住了老师。我们都黏着老师，老师被我们抱的都歪歪倒倒了。过了一会儿，女李老师也出现了，我撒腿就向她跑去，又抱住了她，李老师还给我们带来了礼物，是笔和作业记录本，我们很喜欢这份礼物。谢谢老师！党老师脚崴伤了，所以她来不了。
　　到了吃饭时间，我们合影以后才去吃饭，康宸睿问我吃什么呀，我说吃披萨。他说太棒了！我们班的所有小朋友都在一起吃饭，可热闹了！吃了一会儿，高老师来了，我们喊着：&高老师！高老师！&。我们在一起高兴地吃东西，最后结束的时候，我和同学和老师告别了，我们说好下次再见！这次的中秋聚会可真难忘啊！

Mooncakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival what mince pies are to Christmas. The seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. And the moon is what this celebration is all about. Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month，it is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest.
There are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating mooncakes. One Tang Dynasty myth holds that the Earth once had 10 suns circling it. One day all 10 suns appeared at once，scorching the planet with their heat.
It was thanks to a skillful archer named Hou Yi that the Earth was saved. He shot down all but one of the suns. As his reward，the Heavenly Queen Mother gave Hou Yi the Elixir of Immortality，but she warned him that he must use it wisely.
Hou Yi ignored her advice and，corrupted by fame and fortune，became a tyrannical leader. Chang-Er，his beautiful wife， could no longer stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his Elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath. And thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon，the Moon Fairy.
The second legend has it that during the Yuan Dynasty，an underground group led by Zhu Yuan Zang was determined to rid the country of Mongolian dominance. The moon cake was created to carry a secret message.
When the cake was opened and the message read，an uprising was unleashed which successfully routed the Mongolians. It happened at the time of the full moon，which，some say，explains why mooncakes are eaten at this time.
Mooncakes are usually stamped with Chinese characters indicating the name of the bakery and the type of filling used. Some bakeries will even stamp them with your family name so that you can give personalised ones to friends and family.
They are usually presented in boxes of four which indicate the four phases of the moon. Traditional mooncakes are made with melted lard，but today vegetable oil is more often used in the interests of health.
Mooncakes are not for the diet-conscious as they are loaded with calories. The best way to wash down one of these sticky cakes is with a cup of Chinese tea，especially Jasmine or Chrysanthemum tea，which aids the digestion.
