Unit 3　Festivals and customs

 

The Mid­Autumn Festival

The Mid­Autumn Festival falls on the 15th of the eighth month by the lunar calendar. As one of the traditional Chinese festivals, it has been enjoying great popularity in our country. Usually, no matter how far away or how busy we are, we will manage to return home for the celebration. The whole family will be engaged in the preparation for the coming festival. The moon that night looks the brightest in the whole lunar month. What we love most is the time we enjoy the full moon together. Bathed in the bright moonlight, we sit together and eat moon cakes and fruit, sharing our stories. In addition to these traditional activities, we have a wider range of choices such as travelling and visiting our relatives or friends.

根据短文判断正(T)误(F)

1．All the family members will attend the preparation for the Mid­Autumn Festival.(T)

2．We only eat moon cakes to celebrate the festival.(F)
