Dragons are not real animals, but look like a combination (组合体) of many animals such as snakes, fish and deer.They have two horns (角) and a long moustache (胡子)．With fantastic powers, they fly in the sky or swim in the sea.They can make rain, too.The Chinese dragon is a symbol of strength and good luck.The emperors of ancient China loved dragons.Their clothes were covered with pictures of dragons.
We are proud to call ourselves the “descendants (传人) of the dragon”．In Chinese, “excellent” people are often called “dragon”．A number of Chinese sayings and idioms talk about dragons, for example, “Hoping one's child will beco me a dragon，” which means he or she will be successful.
It is said that people born in the Year of the Dragon have certain characteristics.They are creative, confident, brave and quick-tempered.There are some famous “dragons” who have done excellent things, for example, Deng Xiaoping, the famous businessman Li Jiacheng and the movie star Zhao Wei.They are all successful.
There are also some traditional festivals about dragons in China, such as Dragon Head-Raising Day and the Dragon Boat Festival.We have different kinds of activities
to celebrate them.These two festivals come every year, but the Year of the Dragon comes every twelve years.
The dragon is very important in Chinese culture.As the “descendants of the dragon”，it is necessary for us to know the views on dragons in our culture.It can help us understand why our parents always want us to be “dragons”．

The summer vacation is over. It’s true that time always flies fast. During the vacation, the weather was hot and I could not do much work, but I lived happily.
As the afternoon was hot, I did my work in the morning. I used to get up at 6:30 and take a walk in the garden for half an hour. After breakfast, I began reading English and Chinese and did some exercises in maths. Those took me three hours or more. I worked quite hard and made good progress(取得进步).
I spent the afternoon outside. I went to swim and it was funny. I would not go home until it was about five or six o’clock. Sometimes a friend of mine would come to see me and we would spend some hours listening to music.
In this way I spent my vacation happily. And I not only studied well but also became a good swimmer. Now I am in good health and high spirits(精神).
