Hello, everyone. Do you know Spring Festival? I like it very much. On Spring Festival, I often wear new clothes and have a big dinner with my family. In the evening, we watch TV and making dumplings. Most Chinese people like eating dumplings. I like eating them, too. At night we go outside to look at the lanterns and play with fireworks(烟火).It is very wonderful.
1.On Spring Festival, we make mooncakes.When beautiful autumn comes, it’s time for the Chinese Chongyang Festival or Double Ninth Festival. This is a day for Chinese to show care and love the old people. We climb the mountains, eat rice cakes, drink the chrysanthemum (菊花) drinks, and wear the zhuyu plant. Today, it’s a good time to enjoy the beautiful autumn with your friends and family.

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.
