Andtoday this time really came, so you could image how happy we were. At about 8：00in the morning , with tools in hands, we went out of our school towards theHandian Nursing Home.
It was about 9：00 when we arrived there. Though we were alittle tired, none of us wanted to have a rest. As some of those old peopleseldom came out, so some of us helped them walk around to breathe the fresh air.Some help them to wash their clothes, and the others swept the ground. Most ofus never do such things at home, so we maybe didn’t do these well, but we alltried our best. At about 11：55,we had lunch with them, and our monitor stood forus to bless them devoutly. During the lunch time, we were all very happy. Afterlunch, we had a party with those old people. Before we came here, we had alreadyprepared some songs for them. As we e_pected, they all felt great pleased withour programs. Though maybe we didn’t performed well, the smile on their facesmade us very happy.Happy time always goes fast. Though we didn’t notice thatwe had stayed here for a long time, the clock on the wall informed us clearlythat it was time for us to go home. So we had to say good bye to those oldpeople. On the way home, we all said this was really a significant day, and wedecided to come back again whenever we had time.

每当秋高气爽、菊花飘香的时节，我们便会迎来一个特殊的节日——重阳节。重阳节是在每年农历的九月初九。以前，我对重阳节确实不怎么了解，认为只不过每到这一天人们吃上几块重阳糕，大伙再聊聊天也就过去了。后来，等自己渐渐懂事了，并从父母那里了解到了一些关于重阳节的来历和特殊的含义。重阳节也叫敬老节或老人节，每年的农历九月初九，二九相重，称为“重九”。民间在这一天有登高的风俗，所以重阳节又称“登高节”。还有重九节、茱萸、菊花节等说法。由于九月初九“九九”谐音是“久久”，有长久之意，所以常在此日祭祖与推行敬老活动。重阳节与除、清、盂三节也是中国传统节日里祭祖的四大节日。转眼间，今年的重阳节又来到了，我的心里有了个小算盘。这天上午，我走到奶奶旁边，想考考奶奶的记性，就问：“奶奶，今天是什么日子?”奶奶疑惑的说：“今天，今天什么日子?”我神秘地说：“想想，好好想想。”“今天是___妈的生日?”“不对，今天是你的生日。”“我的生日?我的生日要到十二月啊!”“呵呵，不是那个生日。今天是重阳节，是你们老年人的节日啊。所以我带你出去走走。”说着，我便拉着奶奶的衣角向前走。奶奶脸上的笑容今天很灿烂，一旁清澈的湖水倒影着岸边树木的身影，几条小鱼无忧无虑的在水里游弋，有时互相嬉戏，有时吐吐水泡。耳边还不时传来奶奶小时候的故事，奶奶陶醉在这美丽的诗画里了。是啊，经常听大人们说，要让老人老有所乐，安享晚年。或许说的就是这幅美丽画面吧。这时，天色已晚，我和奶奶意犹未尽的回到了家，而妈妈也早早在餐桌上放上了重阳糕。我连忙递了一块给奶奶，又抓起一块塞进了妈妈的嘴里，当然我不会忘了自己。咦?今天的重阳糕怎么比以前的更甜了呢。
The 9th day of the 9th lunar month is the traditional Chongyang Festival,or Double Ninth Festival. It usually falls in October in the Gregorian calendar.In an ancient and mysterious book Yi Jing, or The Book of Changes, number 6 wasthought to be of Yin character, meaning feminine or negative, while number 9 wasthought to be Yang, meaning masculine or positive. So the number nine in bothmonth and day create the Double Ninth Festival, or Chongyang Festival. Chong inChinese means double. Also, as double ninth was pronounced the same as the wordto signify forever, both are Jiu Jiu, the Chinese ancestors considered it anauspicious day worth celebration. That's why ancient Chinese began to celebratethis festival long time ago. The custom of ascending a height to avoid epidemicswas passed down from long time ago. Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is alsocalled Height Ascending Festival. The height people will reach is usually amountain or a tower. Ancient literary figures have left many poems depicting theactivity. Even today, people still swarm to famous or little known mountains onthis day.
