A 500-word essay on my expectations for 2016

My expectations for 2016

The new year is here, and my friends have put on new clothes and taken off their old clothes. In people's anticipation day by day, the New Year finally arrived, and people immediately became busy. The small stalls selling fireworks and firecrackers are out doing business; the stalls selling candies and snacks are out doing business; the ones selling Spring Festival couplets with the word "Fu" are also out doing business. Everyone went to the streets to buy new year's goods, and the streets and alleys were abuzz.

On this night, from time to time, several families would light fireworks and release them into the sky; sometimes a few naughty children would come to join in the fun, holding "cannons" in their hands and throwing them to the ground. , causing the earth to scream in pain. Every household turns on the lights. Some people are watching TV; some people are having reunion dinner; and some people are having family concerts at home. My parents and I were telling jokes, telling stories, and watching TV together. A poem suddenly came to my mind: The sound of firecrackers kills one year old, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu. Thousands of households are always replacing old talismans with new peaches.

In the lively sound of firecrackers, the unforgettable old year is bid farewell; the warm spring breeze brings the new year to people with smiles on their faces. We are another year older, and every household opens its doors and windows to let the fresh air from the New Year's Day blow into the house. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, everyone sang and danced happily together to welcome the ringing of the New Year's bell. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, I am one year older. I should be more sensible. My mother and father have put so much effort into me. I want to study hard, win glory for the motherland and contribute to the motherland when I grow up. I will definitely live up to my parents’ expectations of me.
