拓展思考(示例)
Part 1
My favorite solar term is Qingming. It falls around April 4 to 6. The weather becomes warm and rainy. People usually visit their ancestors’ graves and clean them. They also go for walks in the countryside and fly kites. I like it because it reminds us to remember our family and enjoy spring nature.
Part 2
Dear Mum and Dad, may I join the Qingming outdoor activity next week? Our school is planning a trip to the countryside to learn about Qingming traditions. We will visit a farm and see how people honour their ancestors. I think it is a good chance to understand Chinese culture and nature. Please let me go because I will be careful and follow the teachers.
Part 3
The 24 solar terms are still important today because they help farmers know when to plant and harvest. They remind us of the changes in weather, such as rain or cold. We can learn how ancient people lived in harmony with nature. Following the solar terms helps us save energy and plan our daily life. Respecting nature is the key to a healthy environment.
