One possible version:
No matter who we are and where we are from, we have some traditional festivals, and they are of great importance for us. As for me, the Spring Festival is one of the most special festivals, and it is also my favorite festival. The reason why I like this day is that people always get together with their families.
I still remember on the morning of the Spring Festival two years ago, my parents were busy with cooking in the kitchen. Seeing them so busy, I decided to give them a hand. However, I didn’t know how to make dumplings, so I wanted to give up. When my mother saw this, she came and taught me. She taught me how to make dumplings step by step, and told me how to make them more beautiful patiently. With my mother’s help, I succeeded in making dumplings, and they were very beautiful. By teaching me to make dumplings, my mother made me understand the importance of study and persistence.
Without doubt, traditional festivals are very meaningful, because it is a time for family gathering and a symbol of our traditional culture. Therefore, we should take our traditional festivals seriously. Only in this way, can we have a better understanding of our traditional culture.
