Song Lin: Hi, Max. How was your holiday
Max: Hi, Song Lin. It was fantastic, thanks.
Song Lin: So you went back to Canada to celebrate Christmas with your family, right
Max: Yes. I hadn’t seen my family for a whole year. So it was great to see them again.
Song Lin: Good for you! So what did you do when you arrived home
Max: Well, first I helped decorate the Christmas tree and put presents under it. Then I helped my mum prepare for
the family dinner on Christmas Eve.
Song Lin: How wonderful! Your mum must have been very happy. I guess it was a really big meal.
Max: Oh, for sure! We cooked so much delicious food, like roast turkey, mashed potatoes, and Christmas pudding.
She even taught me how to make apple pie, which is my favourite dessert.
Song Lin: That’s amazing. I didn’t know you could cook.
Max: Haha! I didn’t know either. Anyway, it was great to be with my family. During dinner, we shared stories and
told jokes. We also played games with the kids afterwards. It was great fun! The best part, though, was
opening our presents on Christmas morning.
Song Lin: Oh, that sounds terrific, Max. I’m really happy that you were able to enjoy Christmas with your family.
Festivals are great, aren’t they Just relax with your family and remember what’s truly important in life ...
Transcript
Joe: Did you enjoy the holiday, Song Lin
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: 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.
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.
Joe: 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.

除……之外
The Spring Festival is the recent festival I spent with my parents. It is great to have some time with them every year. So when the exciting winter vacation began, I quickly went to them by train. I was really happy to spend a whole week with my parents shopping in supermarkets, buying fish and meat, fruit and vegetables, all kinds of nuts and snacks. It was fantastic! They prepared a lot for the Spring Festival. The delicious food is always good, but putting on weight is always annoying!
