Joe: Did you enjoy the holiday, Song Lin
Song Lin: Oh yes, it was great, thanks! The food, the
parades, and the beautiful fireworks—it's always
exciting for me. It's good to spend time with my family,
too, although it can get a bit boring in my hometown
after a while. How about you
Joe: Well, this was my first Chinese New Year. I loved
watching the traditional performances, and I was invited
to lots of delicious meals. But, to be frank, the fireworks
going off throughout the night were really annoying.
Song Lin: Oh, well, yes, I can see your point there! But it's
all part of the tradition to frighten away the evil spirits.
Joe: Yes, well, there seemed to be a lot of them in my area!
Anyway, except for that, everything was fine. I’m really
looking forward to the next festival.

The Spring Festival is the recent festival I spent with my parents. It is great to have some time with them every year. So when the exciting winter vocation began, I quickly went to them by train. I was really happy to spend a whole week with my parents shopping in supermarkets, buying fish and meat, fruit and vegetable, all kinds of nuts and snacks. It was fantastic! They prepared a lot for the Spring Festival. The delicious food is always good, but putting on weight is always annoying!
