Writing
The Mid-Autumn Festival, which is one of the most popular traditional festivals in China, falls on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month. It is a great occasion for families to get together.
I still remember my family celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. During the day, we prepared all the dishes for a great feast and bought several types of mooncakes. As darkness fell, all my family enjoyed the delicious mooncakes, various fruits and other tasty food while admiring the shining moon. Over dinner, we talked about what was going on with us recently.
The festival experience made me realize the importance of family and inspired me to spend more time with my family.
