School reporter:
Over the past year, our school has successfully organized a number of activities to promote traditional Chinese festivals.
An optional course called Traditional Chinese Festivals started last term. It has proved very popular so far. The number of students who have signed up for the course has increased from 50 to 200. Many students say that they have become more interested in traditional festivals and wish to learn more about them.
Tapescript
In addition to the course, several competitions have been held to promote traditional festivals. The most recent one was the competition to design a poster about traditional festivals. The winning design was created by the Art Club, about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Their poster showed a full moon with the beautiful figure of Chang’e on it. We also had a poetry writing competition. More than 100 students took part and wrote wonderful poems about traditional festivals. The winner was Joseph Lin from Class 3C. He wrote a poem about his experience with his grandpa on the Double Ninth Festival .
School clubs have also played an important role in promoting traditional Chinese festivals. Just last week, the Theatre Club put on a play about the Qingming Festival in the school hall. The play lasted about 30 minutes and was a great success. On the Dragon Boat Festival, the Cooking Club taught students how to make rice dumplings. Many students said their handmade rice dumplings were the most delicious they had ever eaten.
