An unusual Spring Festival
一、The analysis of teaching material
What: 文本主要讲述了作者在英国春节期间的一次文化交流与家庭情感体验，强调春节的传统习俗。作者招待了好友Emilia，并一起度过了快乐又不同寻常的春节。
Why: 作者意图通过烹饪中国传统菜肴，能够让英国朋友Emilia体验到中国春节的氛围和文化特色，展现了文化交流的积极意义和跨文化友谊的建立。作者也通过电话求助家人学习烹饪的过程，表达了对家庭的思念和对传统节日家庭团聚的重视。
How: 本文是一篇记叙文，其文体结构遵循了“问题—解决—结果”的经典叙事模式。在语言上，本文采用了一般过去时来叙述作者的亲身经历，同时穿插使用频率副词如sometimes, often, never, always等，以及一般现在时来介绍春节的习俗。文章中还巧妙地运用了多种修辞手法：如This is the lion’s head, 与Emilia的反应Are you joking Isn’ t that against the law 之间的对话，运用了比喻和对比，既形象地描绘了“狮子头”菜肴的形状，凸显了中国文化的特色，又巧妙地展现了中西方文化的差异，为文章增添了幽默感。
