My Favourite Festival
My favourite festival is the Spring Festival.It usually comes in January or February.
Before the festival,I help my parents clean the house and put up red couplets.On
New Year's Eve,we have a big family dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala.I love
getting red packets from my grandparents.The best part is setting off fireworks with
my cousins.I like the Spring Festival because everyone in the family gets together.It
makes me feel warm and happy.This festival means love and new hope to me.I always
look forward to it every year.
