拓展思考(示例)
Part 1
In my culture, bats are often seen as symbols of good luck because the Chinese word for “bat” sounds like the word for “happiness”. For example, in traditional paintings, bats are often shown with peaches or coins to wish for happiness and wealth. This is because people believe that bats bring lucky messages. I think this belief is interesting because it is very different from Western cultures where bats are often associated with vampires and darkness.
Part 2
In China, magpies are considered lucky birds. There is a saying that “the singing of a magpie brings good luck and happiness.” People believe that if a magpie sings near your home, you will have good news soon. If you see a magpie, it means something good will happen. I hope you find this interesting. Next time you see a magpie, maybe you will think of good luck too!
