今天早晨我一吃完饭就拉着爸爸的手急急地往外赶，知道为什么吗?因为我们这要举行龙舟大赛，来参加比赛的有全国各地的选手，还有台湾同胞呢。
This morning, as soon as I finished eating, I took my father's hand and hurried out. Do you know why? Because we are going to hold a dragon boat competition. There are players from all over the country and Taiwan compatriots coming to participate in the competition.
比赛还没开始，河岸两边早已人山人海，围的水泻不通，人们一个个兴高采烈，喜气洋洋好像过年一样。突然，一声抢响，一颗红色的预备弹射上了天空，选手们都卯足劲准备着，紧接着又一颗绿色的信号弹飞上了天空，龙舟赛开始了，顿时，鼓声大作，选手们奋力向前划，一艘艘龙舟象一支支离弦的箭一样飞向终点，两岸的呐喊声、欢呼声不绝于耳，船尾溅起一串串雪白的浪花。
Before the competition started, there had been a large number of people on both sides of the river bank. The surrounding water was not clear. People were in high spirits as if they were celebrating the new year. All of a sudden, there was a rush, a red ready catapult went up into the sky, and the competitors were all ready for it. Then another green signal went up into the sky. The dragon boat race started. Suddenly, the drums were loud, and the competitors rowed forward, and a dragon boat flew to the end like an arrow with a detached string. The shouts and cheers of both sides were heard all the time, and the stern of the boat splashed a string Strings of white spray.
