Every child has his own dream．Every child hopes to be an adult．However, is it truly like what they imagine? As a boy who lives in modem times and in a modern city, I feel greater pressure on me with the city's development．Although we seldom worry about money, we still have a lot of others such as competitions among classmates and expectations from parents．These experiences are very helpful to our future．But in fact, they really give me a lot of pressure．I still clearly remembered the happiness of my childhood．Unluckily, we had to face the fact with time passing by．We began to feel this invisible(无形的)pressure come upon us．We get up before sunrise and return after sunset．we work and study like an adult, even harder．What we do is to get an excellent mark．Oh, growing up is completely boring．We must try to find happiness while growing up．I think the friendship among our friends, the support from our parents and the encouragement from our teachers can help us．Why not enjoy the pleasure of growing up and its delicious taste?
Every year there is a Spring Festival in China．Usually it is in January or February．In 2011, it is on February 3rd．But in 2012, it is on January 23rd．It is the most important festival in China．So before it comes, everyone has to prepare(准备)things．They buy pork, beef, chicken, fruit and many other things, and they often make a special kind of food called “dumplings”．It means “come together”．On that day before the festival, parents buy new clothes for their children．On the Festival Eve, all the family members come back to their hometown．This is a happy moment．They sing, dance and play all kinds of games．Others get the dinner ready．When they enjoy the meal, they give each other the best wishes for the coming year．Children usually get some Lucky Money(压岁钱)．At 12∶00, people let off fireworks to welcome the coming of the Spring Festival．All the people, rich or poor, old or young, are the happiest at this time．
