2.How can a zodiac show care?
Scanning:Find the answers
1.What does a “zodiac zoo”mean?
Zodiac Animals Connect Our Family
Look at a Chinese family, and you might find a small “zodiac zoo”! It’s common for family members to have different birth-year animals.
More importantly, knowing each other’s zodiac animal is a way to show care and understanding. A grandmother might remember that her grandson was born in the Year of the Tiger, so she buys him a tiger toy for good luck. It’s not about superstition (迷信), but about love, memory, and warm wishes within the family.
In my family, my ____ (relation, e.g. dad, grandma) was born in
the year of the_____ (zodiac animal).He/She is as _______ (adjective) as a _____ (animal).Because he/she____________(reason/example).
I love her very much.
