In the next unit, we will...篇2Unit 6: Celebrating HolidaysMy name is Lily and I'm going to tell you about some of the biggest holidays we celebrate here in China. Holidays are always exciting times filled with special traditions, decorations, food and spending quality time with family and friends.One of my favorite holidays is Chinese New Year. It's also called the Spring Festival and it usually falls sometime in late January or early February. The celebrations actually start on New Year's Eve and last for about 15 days until the Lantern Festival.On New Year's Eve, my whole family gets together for a huge reunion dinner. My grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins all come over. The kitchen is a busy place as my mom and aunts spend all day cooking traditional dishes like dumplings, fish, spring rolls and niangao (that's a sweet sticky rice cake). We kids can't wait to eat because it all smells so good!After dinner, we watch the New Year's Gala show on TV. It has singing, dancing, comedy sketches and lots of other performances. At midnight, we try to stay awake to watch thelucky New Year fireworks and firecrackers. The louder they are, the more luck and fortune they'll bring in the new year. The next morning, I wake up early for the lishi ceremony where I wish my parents and grandparents a happy new year and they give me a red envelope filled with money!Over the next two weeks, there are lots of fun activities and traditions. We visit the temple fairs filled with lanterns, snack stalls and carnival games. My cousins and I love trying to win goldfish at the ball toss stands. Another fun tradition is watching the amazing lion dances with the loud rhythmic drumming. Sometimes the lions even give out lucky red envelopes if you feed them lettuce!On the 15th day, we eat yuanxiao (sweet rice ball soup) and go see the bright lantern displays at night. The lanterns come in so many creative shapes like dragons, phoenixes, pandas and even famous landmarks. At the end of the night, we send up our own flying lanterns to celebrate the end of the new year festivities.Another holiday I really enjoy is the Mid-Autumn Festival (also called the Moon Festival). It always falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, usually in September or early October. Thisholiday honors the autumn harvest and celebrates the bright full moon.For the Mid-Autumn Festival, I love helping my mom make the special mooncakes filled with lotus seed paste or other sweet fillings. And of course, I enjoy eating them too! My favorite part is when my family goes out at night to admire the big, bright harvest moon. We bring the mooncakes and pomelos (a type of big grapefruit) for a nighttime picnic.Under the full moon's glow, we share the holiday stories like the ancient legends of Chang'e, the mythical Moon Goddess, and her companion Yutu, the Jade Rabbit. Some years we watch the dragon dances at the temples or parks. Other fun activities include carrying brightly lit lanterns and guessing riddles written on pomelo rinds. It's such a peaceful, beautiful night celebrating the autumn season's bounty.Another very important holiday is the Qingming Festival, often called Tomb Sweeping Day. This usually happens around early April. On this day, we honor and pay respect to our ancestors by cleaning and decorating their gravesites. In the morning, my family takes fresh flowers, green bamboo shoots, fruits and burning incense to my great grandparents' tombs.We use brooms made of willow branches to gently sweep away dirt and debris from the gravestones. Then we lay out the offerings of food, incense and flowers. While cleaning their tombs, we tell stories and remind each other of the great deeds and wise sayings of our ancestors. In the afternoon, my cousins and I also enjoy flying kites shaped like butterflies, birds or other springtime creatures.The most exciting time for us kids though is definitely Dragon Boat Festival, usually in late May or early June. This festival commemorates the life and death of Qu Yuan, an ancient famous poet and minister who drowned himself in protest against corrupt leaders. According to legend, people raced out in boats and beat drums to scare away the fish and evil spirits from his body in the river.Nowadays my favorite Dragon Boat Festival traditions are watching the intense dragon boat racing competitions and eating the special zongzi (sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves). My grandma makes the most delicious zongzi stuffed with different savory or sweet fillings. My favorite is the one with red bean paste!Another highlight of the festival is the tradition of drinking realgar wine and hanging up mugwort leaves and calamus plants.It's supposed to help prevent illness, insects and evil spirits. Of course, we kids also love the dragon dances with the long colorful boats zigzagging between the crowds. The costumes and synchronized movements are really impressive!So those are some of my favorite traditional Chinese holidays. There are also lots of other fun holidays like International Children's Day on June 1st and our school's Sports Day in the fall semester. I love going to school for Sports Day because we get to compete in running races, tug-of-war,three-legged races and other games instead of having regular classes. And the holiday where we get to stay up latest is definitely New Year's Eve! Holidays are great because they give us a break from our usual routines and schedules. We get to spend quality time with our families, learn about our cultural traditions and enjoy special foods. I can't wait for the next big holiday!篇3Unit 6: Celebrating LifeEvery culture in the world has its own special holidays and ways of celebrating. Holidays give us a chance to relax, spend time with family and friends, and appreciate the traditions thatmake each culture unique. In this unit, we will explore some of the most popular holidays around the world and how people celebrate them.Holiday 1: Chinese New YearOne of the most important holidays in Chinese culture is Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival. It is celebrated at the turn of the traditional Chinese calendar, which falls sometime between late January and mid-February on the Gregorian calendar we use.Preparations for Chinese New Year begin about a month in advance. People do a thorough cleaning of their homes to sweep away any bad luck from the previous year and make their homes ready for good luck. Windows and doors are decorated with red paper cuttings and couplets with popular themes of happiness, wealth and longevity. On Chinese New Year's Eve, families gather together for a large reunion dinner with special foods like dumplings, fish, and sweet desserts.After the reunion dinner, children receive red envelopes stuffed with "lucky money" and stay up late into the night. The loud noises from firecrackers are thought to scare away evil spirits so there is a lot of firework celebration as the new year arrives. Over the next few days, families visit friends and relatives,watch dragon and lion dances performed, and enjoy other entertaining activities.Holiday 2: Thanksgiving (U.S.)While not celebrated worldwide, Thanksgiving is one of the most important holidays in the United States. It dates back to 1621 when the newly arrived Pilgrims shared an autumn harvest feast with the Native Americans who helped them survive their first year in the New World.Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November by gathering with family and friends for a big meal centered around a roasted turkey. The meal often includes side dishes like stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie for dessert.Many people get the entire Thanksgiving weekend off from work, so it kicks off the holiday season in the U.S. Parades and football games are popular activities, and the long weekend also gives people the chance to start putting up Christmas decorations. Most importantly, Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the past year and give thanks for one's blessings.Holiday 3: Diwali (India)Known as the "festival of lights," Diwali is one of the biggest and most significant holidays celebrated in India and by Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and some Buddhists around the world. Historically, Diwali marks the start of the new year on the Hindu calendar, as well as commemorating the return of the Lord Rama after 14 years of exile.The five-day Diwali celebration is a colorful and lively affair that begins with a thorough cleaning of homes. On the third day, which is the most important, families gather together to perform a ceremony honoring Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. Lamps and candles are lit to welcome the goddess and symbolize the victory of light over darkness.Diwali celebrations also include lighting firecrackers, sharing sweets and gifts, wearing new clothing, and decorating buildings with lights and rangoli artworks made of colored rice, sand or flower petals. It is considered one of the happiest holidays in India and an auspicious time to start new ventures.Holiday ComparisonWhile the holidays above come from different cultures, they all share some common traditions such as thorough home cleanings, special food preparations, gathering with loved ones, and lighting displays or fireworks. Major holidays give people asense of cultural identity and unity in celebrating together. They also provide an opportunity to pass cherished traditions down to younger generations.Whether it's Chinese New Year, Thanksgiving, Diwali, or holidays from other cultures you celebrate, these special days remind us to slow down from our hectic modern lives. They allow us to reflect on the past, appreciate the present, and look forward to the future with renewed hope and joy. Holidays truly are times for celebrating life!。
