Christmas Eve.

guess it was a really big meal.

Did you enjoy the holiday, Song Lin
Oh yes, it was great, thanks! The food, the parades, and the beautiful fireworks—it's always exciting for me. It's good to spend time with my family, too, although it can get a bit boring in my hometown after a while. How about you
Joe:
Song Lin:
Oh, well, yes, I can see your point there! But it's all part of the tradition to frighten away the evil spirits.
Yes, well, there seemed to be a lot of them in my area! Anyway, except for that, everything was fine. I'm really looking forward to the next festival.
Song Lin:
Joe:
Well, this was my first Chinese New Year. I loved watching the traditional performances, and I was invited to lots of delicious meals. But, to be frank, the fireworks going off throughout the night were really annoying.
Joe:
Pair work
Share a recent festival experience with your partner and tell him/her how you felt about the festival and why.
A thousand times I search for her in the crowd，
And, suddenly turning on head,
Discover her where the lantern lights are dim.
