八、短文写作。
“爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏。千门万户曈曈日，总把新桃换旧符。”这首诗提到了哪个节日？根据所给提示，写一写这个节日，不少于8句。

The Spring Festival is a very important Chinese festival. It is in January or February. Before the festival, we clean our houses and put fu on our doors. We also shop for new clothes and other things. On Chinese New Year’s Eve, we have a big dinner at home. We eat jiaozi and fish for the festival. We also watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV. Children can get red packets from their parents and grandparents. On Chinese New Year’s Day, we visit our relatives and friends. We watch lion dances in the streets too.

【分析】
首先确定诗句描述的节日是春节，再根据思维导图的提示，围绕“节前准备、除夕活动、大年初一活动”三个核心部分展开写作，需保证内容贴合提示、语句通顺且不少于8句。解题思路：先点明春节的重要性和时间，再依次写节前打扫、购物等准备工作，接着描述除夕的年夜饭、看春晚、收红包等活动，最后写大年初一走亲访友、看舞狮等内容，让短文完整丰富。
【解析】
写作时，先开篇点明春节的地位与时间，再按思维导图的三个分支组织内容：1. 节前准备：补充打扫房屋、贴福字、购置新衣等细节；2. 除夕活动：加入吃饺子、看春晚、孩子收红包等内容；3. 大年初一活动：补充走亲访友、看舞狮等活动，确保句子连贯，数量达标。
