考点：春晚相关词汇
春晚一般指的是“央视春晚”，英文可以说CCTV's Spring Festival Gala / CCTV New Year's Gala，gala意指“欢快的庆祝活动”。单纯说春晚可以用Spring Festival Gala或者Chinese New Year Gala表达。
另外，gala也可以用作形容词，表示"庆祝的，奢侈的"，如 a gala ball 庆祝舞会；the gala life of the rich 富翁们的奢侈生活。
例句：Ever since its debut over two decades ago, the Spring Festival Gala has developed into an occasion that most Chinese find it hard to ignore.
I stayed up until 1:00am to watch the Spring Festival gala.
我看春晚到凌晨一点才睡觉。
央视春晚一般是现场直播，那么直播可以用“live”表达。而这里需要注意的是，live表示“直播”时，应当读作/laɪv/，而不是/lɪv/。
小品 comedy sketch
“sketch”最常用的含义是素描、草图或画草图，但在这里，其含义是“short funny play”。西方也有comedy sketch这种表演形式，长度在10分钟左右。
相声 cross talk
cross talk这个词组能在《牛津词典》里查到，解释为：rapid dialogue, eg between two comedians（快速对话，比如在两个喜剧演员之间），也有英文媒体翻译成stand-up comedy。
有时，我们也会在相声里看到“双簧”这种特别的表演形式，那么“双簧”可以用“a two-man comic show ”表达。
杂技 acrobatics
acrobat（杂技演员）一词对有的人来说并不陌生，因为有一款著名的PDF编辑软件就叫做Adobe Acrobat。
魔术 magic show
NBA球迷可能会联想到美国篮球队—Orlando Magic（奥兰多魔术队）。在舞台上表演大型魔术的魔术师，有时也被称为“illusionist”。
独唱 solo
任何舞台上一个人的表演都可以用“solo”表达。
例：a piano solo钢琴独奏；a guitar solo吉他独奏；sing a solo个人独唱。
独唱用“solo”表达，那么合唱用“chorus”来表达。
戏曲 Chinese opera
京剧 Peking Opera
昆曲 Kunqu Opera
越剧 Yue Opera
黄梅戏 Huangmei Opera
压轴戏 grand finale
我们知道每年的春晚都会有一个保留曲目—合唱《难忘今宵》，它是春晚的压轴节目，全体演员会上台合唱。伴着熟悉的旋律，春晚落下帷幕，我们迎来新的一年.那么，压轴可以用“ grand finale”来表达，指终场演奏、压轴戏。

Dear Peter,
I’m glad that you are caring about the development of my hometown. Now I will tell you something about it.
Great changes have taken place since the19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The targeted poverty reduction has reached its ideal aims. Many poor families have got effective help from local government and have improved their life greatly. Many old houses are replaced by new tall buildings which are surrounded with green trees and colourful flowers. The rivers that had been polluted seriously before are getting clearer and clearer. Besides, all kinds of fishes return the rivers. The sky is filled with white and cleaner clouds.
Please come to visit my hometown in the near future.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
