Reading
Hello Jenny,
I love autumn! The Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. It is on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar.
We also call it the Moon Festival. We believe that the moon is at its roundest
and brightest at this time of the year.
The Mid-Autumn Festival dates back more than two thousand years. It was
to celebrate the harvest of the year. Later, the festival gained more cultural
meanings. It is now a symbol of family reunion and gratitude. On this day, my whole family always gets together, has a wonderful dinner, and watches the full moon.
When I was a little boy, my grandma told me the story of Chang’e. I would look up and try to find her on the moon while enjoying delicious mooncakes.
Many great poets in China wrote about the festival. I like this poem best:
The sea mirrors the rising moon bright tonight;
Far apart from each other, our hearts share the moment.
I think there are many festivals celebrating the harvest all over the world. Do you know of any, Jenny
Bye for now!

1. We believe that the moon is at its roundest and brightest at this time of the year
(1) 分析结构：这是一个含that引导的宾语从句的主从复合句。We believe 是主句，其中We 是主语，believe 是谓语；that the moon...the year 是宾语从句，其中that 是引导词，the moon 是主语，is 是系动词，at its roundest and brightest 是介词短语作表语，at this time of the year 是时间状语。
