Passage 1 Spring Festival
Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. Before the day, families clean the house carefully and buy lots of food. On the eve, all the members get together for a big dinner. People usually eat dumplings, watch the Spring Festival gala and talk happily. Children are the happiest because they can get red envelopes from their parents and grandparents. In recent years, many people choose to spend the festival in a quieter way: they travel, or they try a green festival with less waste and fewer fireworks. No matter how people spend it, the meaning is the same — a new start and a warm family reunion.

Passage 2 The Mid-Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival comes in autumn, when the moon is at its biggest and brightest. On that night, families sit in the yard, look up at the moon and share mooncakes. Mooncakes are round, just like the full moon, and they stand for family reunion. Last year, my uncle worked in another city and could not come back. We video-called him while we were having dinner. Grandma told us the old story of Chang'e, who lives on the moon. Dad said the festival was not really about the sweet cakes. It was about people who love each other, sitting together even if they are far apart. We all agreed, and we wished Uncle a safe and happy year.

Passage 3 A Green Christmas
At Christmas last year, our class decided to have a green Christmas. We did not buy plastic gifts or use plastic bags. Instead, we made cards by hand and cooked a big meal ourselves. On Christmas Eve, we took the cards and the food to the old people's home near our school. The old people were so glad that they laughed and told us many old stories. One grandma showed us a photo of her own family many years ago. We learned that festivals are not only about receiving expensive presents. The best present is to give time and love to people who feel lonely. After that day, our class decided to do this every year.

Passage 4 An Unusual New Year
This year, our family had an unusual Spring Festival. We did not stay at home. We went to the countryside to visit my grandparents. The trip was tiring but wonderful. In the early morning, Grandma and I made dumplings together. She taught me how to fold them, and mine looked like small clouds. In the afternoon, Dad and Grandpa pasted red paper on the door, while Mum prepared fish, which means "having enough every year". At night, we sat around the table, ate, and listened to Grandpa's stories about when he was a boy. We did not set off fireworks, because the air was dry. Still, it was the warmest festival I can remember.

Passage 5 Festivals Around Us
People everywhere celebrate festivals, but the ways are different. In China, we eat dumplings at Spring Festival and mooncakes at the Mid-Autumn Festival. In some Western countries, families have turkey at Christmas and give each other presents. In Japan, people see the cherry blossoms in spring and have special cakes. Although the food and clothes are different, the feeling behind festivals is almost the same. Families get together, say thank you to one another, and hope for a better year. Festivals also help us remember our culture and our happy days. As students, we should learn about our own festivals first, and then try to understand those in other countries. In this way, the world becomes a warmer place.
