Dear Tom,
My favorite Chinese festival is Spring Festival. It is a
traditional festival in China. It is celebrated on the 1st day of
the first lunar (阴历) month.
During this festival, people usually clean and decorate their
house carefully before it comes. They eat Nian-gao, eight
treasures rice (八宝饭) and family reunion dinner.
Sample 1
It is my favorite festival because we kids can wear new clothes and get gift money. What’s more, we can watch the dragon dance (舞狮). It makes me feel very happy and
excited.
The Middle-Autumn Festival is one of the traditional Chinese festivals. It is often celebrated in September or October. During the festival, family members get together and eat mooncakes. There are various kinds of delicious mooncakes.
