opening our presents
Joe: Did you enjoy the holiday, Song Lin?
Song Lin: Oh yes, it was great, thanks! The food, the parades, and the beautiful fireworks—it's always exciting for me. It's good to spend time with my family, too, although it can get a bit boring in my hometown after a while. How about you?
Joe: Well, this was my first Chinese New Year. I loved watching the traditional performances, and I was invited to lots of delicious meals. But, to be frank, the fireworks going off throughout the sky were really annoying.
Song Lin: Oh, well, yes, I can see your point there! But it's all part of the tradition to frighten away the evil spirits.
Joe: Yes, well, there seemed to be a lot of them in my area! Anyway, except for that, everything was fine. I'm really looking forward to the next festival.
