新年第一天（Xīn nián dì yī tiān）

First Day of the New Year

今天是新年的第一天，也是蛇年的开始。早早的爸爸就把我叫醒，到大门口去放炮。爸爸把炮放好，然后点燃。我很快的躲到一边，双手捂住耳朵，炮的声音还是很大。今天，我在家呆了整整一天，吃饭，看电视，还有和大人一起聊天。

我觉得非常开心。

Translation:
Today is the first day of the new year, and also the start of the Year of the Snake. My dad woke me up early and had me go out to the front door to set off firecrackers. Dad set up the firecrackers and lit them. I quickly hid to the side, covering my ears with my hands, but the sound of the firecrackers was still very loud. Today, I stayed home all day, eating, watching TV, and chatting with the adults.

I felt very happy.
