Dragon Boat Festival is a Chinese traditional festival. It falls on the fifth day of May in the lunar calendar. A day before this festival, my mother and grandmother began to make zongzi. Of course, I would act as assistant. But it turned out that I was more of a hindrance than a help. When they finished, they started to cook them. This process needed a long time, because I could have them in the next day. Zongzi was very delicious. On the day of dragon boat festival, our family prepared for dinner after having breakfast. Everyone of my family will come back home for the solid diet. Chicken is indispensable on the dinner desk in Chinese traditional festival. There were many delicious foods, which made me watering. I ate lots of them. It is a wonderful festival.
端午节是中国的传统节日。是农历五月初五。我妈妈和奶奶在节日的前一天就开始包粽子了。当然，我会去打打下手。但事实证明，我是在帮倒忙。她们包完粽子之后就开始煮了。这个过程需要很长的时间，因为我要到第二天才可以吃到粽子。粽子非常好吃。在端午节这一天，我们家里吃过早饭就开始准备晚餐了。家里所有人都会回家吃这丰盛的食物。在中国传统节日的餐桌上鸡是必不可少的。还有很多好吃的、让我流口水的食物。我吃了很多。这是一个美好的节日。
Today， I see a lot of zongzi at home。
My favorite food is jujube rice dumplings， I took a bite to eat， sweet，sticky， delicious， I ate and ask a mother: "why do you want to eat zongzitoday?" "Today is the fifth Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of may，" saidthe mother。 "eating zongzi is a tribute to the great poet qu yuan， and there isalso a place for the dragon boat race to memorate him。"
I eat the fragrant rice dumplings。 Understand the origin of the Dragon BoatFestival。
今日，我看见家里有很多粽子。
我最喜欢吃蜜枣粽子了，我吃了一口，甜甜的，黏黏的，真好吃，我边吃边问妈妈：“今日为什么要吃粽子呢?”妈妈说：“今日是五月初五端午节，吃粽子是为了纪念伟大的诗人屈原，还有的地方举行赛龙舟来纪念他。”
我吃着香喷喷的粽子。明白了端午节的来历。
