Passage 1
The Spring Festival: China’s Most Important Festival
The Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year, is the most important traditional
festival in China. It is celebrated on the first day of the lunar new year, and the celebrations
usually last for 15 days until the Lantern Festival.
Before the festival, people are busy preparing for it. They clean their houses thoroughly to
"sweep away" bad luck. They also buy new clothes, food, and decorations. Red is the main
color for the festival, as it symbolizes good luck and happiness. People decorate their houses
with red couplets, lanterns, and paper cuts.
On New Year’s Eve, families gather for a big dinner called "reunion dinner". The dinner
usually includes dumplings, fish, and other delicious dishes. Dumplings are popular in
northern China, while people in southern China may have niangao (glutinous rice cake).
After dinner, families often watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV together.
During the festival, people visit their relatives and friends, which is called "paying a New
Year call". They greet each other with "Happy New Year" and give red envelopes (hongbao)
to children. Red envelopes contain money and are believed to bring good luck to the children.
The Spring Festival is a time of family reunion, happiness, and hope. It reflects the
importance of family and tradition in Chinese culture.

Passage 2
The Mid-Autumn Festival: A Festival of Reunion
The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. It falls
on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, when the moon is believed to be the roundest and
brightest of the year. The round moon symbolizes reunion, so the festival is also called
"Reunion Festival".
The main food for the Mid-Autumn Festival is mooncakes. Mooncakes are round pastries
filled with different fillings, such as red bean paste, lotus seed paste, and egg yolk. They are
not only delicious but also have a special meaning—they represent family reunion.
On the night of the festival, families get together in their yards or parks. They lay out
mooncakes, fruits, and other snacks. Adults chat and share stories, while children play around.
Everyone takes time to admire the bright full moon and express their wishes for family
happiness and well-being.
In addition to eating mooncakes and admiring the moon, there are other customs in different
parts of China. For example, in some places, people light lanterns, and in others, they perform
dragon dances.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is not only a time for family reunion but also a way to pass on
Chinese culture and values. It reminds people of the importance of family and the beauty of
life.

The Spring Festival: China’s Most Important Festival
The Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year, is the most important traditional festival in China. It is celebrated on the first day of the lunar new year, and the celebrations usually last for 15 days until the Lantern Festival.
Before the festival, people are busy preparing for it. They clean their houses thoroughly to "sweep away" bad luck. They also buy new clothes, food, and decorations. Red is the main color for the festival, as it symbolizes good luck and happiness. People decorate their houses with red couplets, lanterns, and paper cuts.
On New Year’s Eve, families gather for a big dinner called "reunion dinner". The dinner usually includes dumplings, fish, and other delicious dishes. Dumplings are popular in northern China, while people in southern China may have niangao (glutinous rice cake). After dinner, families often watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV together.
During the festival, people visit their relatives and friends, which is called "paying a New Year call". They greet each other with "Happy New Year" and give red envelopes (hongbao) to children. Red envelopes contain money and are believed to bring good luck to the children.
