Since graduation，I have been working far away from home.I am so occupied that I could only come back home on some specific occasions.This year I was fortunate enough to go home earlier to spend Spring Festival with my family.Spring Festival is one of the most important festivals in China，which marks the end of the last year and the beginning of the new year.When I arrived home，my parents were decorating our house and my sister was cleaning the house thoroughly，sweeping away the dirt of the past year.Seeing me come back，they came up to me immediately.First，I extended my congratulations to my sister on her progress in her study.Then I gave a brief description of my life in my city.The traditional food on that special day is dumplings，also called jiaozi in Chinese.We usually have a family dinner on New Year’s Eve.As far as I am concerned，being surrounded by family is the most joyful thing.After all，it is the reunion with the whole family that makes the festival so attractive.
毕业后，我一直在离家很远的地方工作。我太忙了，只能在特定时间回家。今年我很幸运能早点回家和家人一起过春节。春节是中国最重要的节日之一，标志着去年的结束和新年的开始。当我回到家时，我父母正在装饰我们的房子，我妹妹正在彻底打扫房子，扫除过去一年的灰尘。看到我回来了，他们立刻向我走来。首先，我祝贺我妹妹在学习上取得的进步。然后，我简要描述了我在我的城市的生活。那个特殊日子的传统食物是饺子。我们通常在除夕吃年夜饭。在我看来，被家人包围是最快乐的事情。毕竟，正是与全家团聚让这个节日如此吸引人。
