【中考篇】kites

Kites

Kites have a history of about 2,300 years in China. The kite was invented by a man called Mozi in the Warring States period. He made a bird out of wood. It was the first kite in history. Later,his student Lu Ban used bamboo to make kites. During the Eastern Han Dynasty,with the invention of paper,people began to use paper to make kites. Kites have also begun to take on different shapes,such as air- planes,eagles and so on. The World Kite Capital is Weifang,Shandong Province. There are many grand kite competitions held every year. People all over the world want to go there. Flying kites is deeply loved by people. It is a very popular outdoor activity. Every weekend,I can see many people flying kites in the park. They play happily.But the kites we fly now are all bought from stores. Few people make their own kites. I believe that as a traditional Chinese handicraft kites should continue to be passed down. We should protect traditional Chinese handicrafts.

风筝
风筝在中国有大约2300年的历史。风筝是战国时期一个叫墨子的人发明的。他用木头做了一只鸟。这是历史上第一只风筝。后来，他的学生鲁班用竹子制作风筝。东汉时期，随着纸的发明，人们开始用纸制作风筝。风筝也开始呈现出不同的形状，如飞机、鹰等。世界风筝之都是山东省潍坊市。每年都有许多盛大的风筝比赛。全世界的人都想去那里。放风筝深受人们的喜爱。这是一项非常受欢迎的户外活动。每个周末，我都能看到很多人在公园里放风筝。他们玩得很开心。但是我们现在放的风筝都是从商店买的。很少有人自己制作风筝。我认为风筝作为一种传统的中国手工艺应该继续传承下去。我们应该保护中国传统手工艺品。
