Families get together to have a big dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala on New Year’s Eve. The next morning, people get up early and say “Happy New Year” to each other.

答案
小试身手
One possible version:
Mid-Autumn Festival
We celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th in the lunar calendar. It is like Thanksgiving Day. Our family get together. On that day we give thanks to our parents for a lovely meal. We eat moon cakes. We have all kinds of moon cakes, such as moon cakes with fruit, with meat and with vegetables. I think they are delicious. In the evening, we watch the moon in the open air. The moon looks brighter and rounder. It’s also fun to listen to the story of Chang’e. We are very happy on that day.
