Our Splendid Traditions
China has a long history and many splendid traditions. These old customs have been passed (pass) down from our ancestors over thousands of years. Over time, some of them are slowly disappearing, so it is our duty to protect (protect) them. In many villages, people still hold traditional festivals (festival) to celebrate the harvest. On these days, they warmly greet one another and share a delicious meal together. Such activities may seem ordinary, but they actually carry deep cultural meaning. We should learn about our history properly (proper) and feel proud of it. Every individual should do his best to pass (pass) the traditions on, so that our heritage can be kept (keep) alive forever.
