A. ________________
People believe this festival is one of the traditional Chinese festivals. It falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. On that day, different celebrating activities are held around China. But I think that eating zongzi and racing dragon boats are the most popular ones. You can’t imagine how fantastic the dragon boat teams are. What festivals is it It is A . It is believed that people celebrate it to remember a great poet named Qu Yuan.
Dragon Boat Festival
B. ________________
Do you know about B It is a very popular festival in North America, but we don’t really celebrate it in China. It is celebrated on October 31st. On that day, people make their houses look scary and they may turn off the lights and light candles. They also put things like spiders and ghosts around the doors and windows. Even little kids always dress up as ghosts or black cats or fun things like cartoon characters. Some parents join in the fun by dressing up and take their children to ask for candies and treats around the neighbors. Kids say”Trick or treat!” This means that if they are not given a treat, they will play a trick on you. Many people think this is a really scary festival, but I do think it’s fun. I wonder if it’ll ever become popular in China.
Halloween
C. ________________
It is the New Year’s celebration and takes place in Southern Asian nations such as Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. In Thailand, it is one of the most important festivals, which lasts from April 13th to 15th. People go on the streets to throw water at each other. What festival is it It is C . Why do people do that They believe that the new year is a time for cleaning and washing away bad things. The act of pouring water is also a show of blessings and good wishes. They all hope that they will have good luck in the new year. What fun the Festival is! I wonder if it is similar to the Water Festival of the Dai people in Yunnan, China. Can you tell me
