The Spring Festival, or Chinese New Year, falls on the first day of the first lunar month. It is the most important traditional festival in China.
There is a legend about the Spring Festival. Nian, the monster, came out on the last night of every year to eat humans and animals. But people discovered a secret: Nian was afraid of loud noises, bright lights, and the colour red. So people set off fireworks and firecrackers, hung red lanterns, and put Spring Festival couplets on the doors. This way, they could drive away Nian and bring good luck for the coming year.
There are lots of customs for the Spring Festival. People always clean their homes and buy new clothes for a fresh start to the new year. They prepare delicious dishes with care and love. In northern China, almost every family makes dumplings. Many people stay up late on the eve of the Festival and set off firecrackers at midnight for good luck. Parents or grandparents give lucky money to children. People go to temple fairs and watch dragon and lion dances.
The Spring Festival is a wonderful opportunity for family members to gather, enjoy a meal, and celebrate the New Year together!

Adverbials are words or phrases we use to give more information about verbs, adjectives, adverbs or sentences. They often tell how, where, when, or why something happens.
Grammar focus
状语（Adverbials）
状语（adverbial，缩写为adv.）可以用来修饰动词、形容词、副词或整个句子。状语的位置比较灵活，一般放在句末，有时也可以放在句首或句中。
He runs fast.（fast修饰动词） She is very beautiful.（very修饰形容词）
I can read English quite well.（quite修饰副词well；well修饰动词read）
Sadly, we could not take part in the activity.（sadly修饰整个句子）
状语一般用来说明地点、时间、原因、目的、结果、条件、方向、程度、方式和伴随状况等，由副词、分词（分词短语）、不定式、介词短语、名词等来充当。
1．副词作状语，一般可以用来说明时间、地点、程度、方式等。
e.g. He speaks English very well.
2．分词作状语，一般可以用来表示时间、原因、结果、方式、伴随等。
e.g. Seeing its mother, the baby smiled. Moved by his speech, I was at a loss for what to say.
It rained heavily, causing severe flooding in that country.
He earns a living driving a truck.
She sat at the desk reading a newspaper.
注意：分词或分词短语作状语，其逻辑主语通常与句子的主语保持一致，并根据分词与所修饰的主语在逻辑上的主被动关系来判断使用现在分词还是过去分词。
3．不定式作状语，用以表示目的的情况较多。
e.g. I visit this city during the holidays to see you.
To get good grades, I study hard every day this term.
4．介词短语作状语，一般可以用来表示时间、地点、原因、目的、方式等。
e.g. I go to school after breakfast.
Two years ago, I began to study in this school.
The girl is famous for her intelligence.
He ran for the gift. You can do it by computer.
e.g. We must get together again some day.
You are only one month younger than I. Hold it that way.
5．名词作状语，一般可以用来表示时间、方式、程度等。
