People in the world welcome the New Year in different ways.
In the US, many people go out at night and have a big party together. They wait for the New Year’s bell to ring twelve times (次). Then they sing songs and say “Happy New Year” to each other.
In Japan, people eat noodles for dinner. On New Year’s Day, people get up early to see the first sunrise (日出) of the year. Children get money (钱) from their parents as gifts.

Hello! My name is Maggie. I live in a nice old town in the US. My favourite festival is Easter Day. Every spring I spend Easter at my grandma’s house with my cousins. At Easter time there are always a lot of flowers. On Sunday morning, we like picking some flowers and putting them on our hats. Then we always make nests (巢) in the grass for hiding (藏) the eggs. In the afternoon, the house is always clean and nice. There are some eggs on the table in the kitchen. My mum and aunt always paint the eggs. After they finish painting, we play the game—Easter Egg Hunt (寻找). In the evening, we always watch TV and play cards together.
1．Maggie likes Easter Day very much.Chinese people have a good time during the Chinese New Year. It usually comes in January or February. Each year gets a name according to the lunar calendar(阴历). It may be called the Year of the Dog or the Year of the Monkey instead of(代替) 2018 and 2028.
Usually there are dragon dances in the street. The dragon is a legendary (传说的) animal about 20 feet long. It is made of paper and cloth. Men hide under the dragon and make a lot of noise by shouting and laughing. There are always lots of fireworks. After the dragon dances, the children sing and dance in the street. The children are happy because they can get some red packets (红包). There is some money in them.

The Spring Festival is an important (重要的) festival in China. Before the festival, we go shopping and clean our houses. At the Spring Festival, we have a big family dinner. We eat dumplings. After dinner, we stay up late (守夜) to welcome the new year. We watch the Spring Festival Gala (春晚) on TV. On the first day of the new year, we wear new clothes to visit our relatives (亲戚) and friends. We say “Happy New Year!” to them.
