Lingling: Oh, thank you. I really wanted one.
Betty: We’re happy you like it.
Tony: I noticed another difference. In China, you
accept a gift with both hands. But in
the West, we usually don’t pay much
attention to that.
Betty: That’s interesting! I’m interested to know
all the Chinese traditions. Tell me more.
Lingling: There are a lot. For example, in my home
town, people say you mustn’t do any cleaning
on the first day of the Spring Festival. And
you mustn’t break anything. It’s bad luck!
Daming: You must only use red paper for hongbao
because red means luck. And you’d better
not have your hair cut during the Spring
Festival month.
Tony: You can’t be serious!
Daming: And in the north of China, people eat
lots of jiaozi!
Betty: Perfect! They taste great.
Tony: I like eating jiaozi too. Anyway, the Spring
Festival is still over a month away. Let’s
celebrate Lingling’s birthday first!
