Naadam means "games" in Mongolian, and it includes horse racing, wrestling, and archery.
Wrestling and horse racing.
The horse racing is the most impressive, as it involved little children.
The writer did not talk about food or music, but surely they should have been interesting
parts of the festival.
This was my first time spending my holiday in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region
to celebrate the Naadam Festival, and it was an enjoyable and exciting experience for me.

I’ll always remember the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region
because it was an enjoyable and exciting experience for me.
... which are all so exciting to watch; After the opening ceremony and some amazing performances; I was quite moved by their show of strength and grace; I absolutely enjoyed the archery, too, but the horse races were my favourite part; I was surprised to see that the riders were boys and girls; I was a little worried about the children's safety; feeling really tired; was totally worth it; I can't wait!

July 4, 2018
Today was my first fourth of July celebration, and I'll always remember it because it was so wonderful. The fourth of July is Independence Day in the US — the anniversary of the day the United States became its own country in 1776.
I began the day by packing my swimming suit and a towel. Then I went with my host family to a supermarket to load up on food and drinks. After that we were off to a friend's ranch out in the country for a barbecue and pool party.
It was all so amazing! While the adults cooked food on the barbecue, we played in the pool. Then we all ate and ate until we were completely stuffed. Our friends had some old ice cream churners, so after lunch we all took turns churning homemade ice cream. Since the temperature outside was around 40 degrees, it seemed like the ice cream took forever! I would turn the handle on the churn until my arm was sore, and then someone else would take over. But it was all worth it, because when we were finished it was the most fantastic ice cream I have ever eaten! Then, someone asked me if I would like to try horseback riding. I was afraid at first, but they gave me a very gentle horse. It was so peaceful to ride the horse through the fields and forest. Finally, when it grew dark, we had a thrilling fireworks display.
Now I'm back home with my host family. Though I m tired, I think this had to be the most exciting day of my life! I can't wait for next year!

THE CHINESE SPRING FESTIVAL
The Chinese Spring Festival is regarded as the most significant festival of the year among
the Chinese. It lasts for 15 days but Chinese people also consider the days of preparation
beforehand as an important part of the Spring Festival.
Another important custom for families is to decorate their doors with red couplets. The phrases on the couplets express hopes for a prosperous new year. In the southern part of China, people will buy fresh flowers or orange trees to decorate their homes. The most important custom of the Chinese Spring Festival is the big family dinner on the eve of the Lunar New Year. This is usually a big reunion of grandparents, parents, and children. It reflects how important family is to Chinese people around the world. That is why millions of Chinese people travel long distances to get home before the eve of the Lunar New Year. Also, families typically eat certain types of lucky food at the family reunion dinner. Eating fish, for example, is supposed to bring more wealth and prosperity than one needs, as the pronunciation of “fish” in Chinese (yu) is also used for “surplus”.
There are a number of things people usually do before the
Chinese Spring Festival. One of these is cleaning the house for
the Lunar New Year. Dust makes people think of old or outdated
things. Therefore, sweeping dust out of the house is a way of
saying goodbye to old things and welcoming new things.

The Spring Festival: Fun, Family, and Hope tor the New Year
P. 65
One interesting festival, primarily in Ireland and North America, is Saint Patrick's Day, which is held on 17 March. Saint Patrick lived in the 5th century, and is reputed as being the man who brought Christianity to Ireland. According to tradition, he died on I7March, and so this day was chosen to commemorate him. To Irish people around the world, Saint Patrick is a symbol of Ireland. Since many North Americans originally came from Ireland, in many North American cities (such as Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, and Boston) the celebrations tor Saint Patrick's Day are larger and more festive than in Ireland itself, as people wish to remember their home country. On this day, everyone should wear something green, as that is the colour of Ireland, and many people wear Shamrocks (three-leaf clovers). Many cities have large parades, and in both Chicago and Boston the rivers are dyed green. For adults, the main drink for the festival is beer — which is sometimes dyed green as well.
