Double Ninth Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.（答案不唯一）
2 Read the email and answer the questions.
Hello Jenny,
I love autumn! The Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. It is on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar.
We also call it the Moon Festival. We believe that the moon is at its roundest and brightest at this time of the year.
The Mid-Autumn Festival dates back more than two thousand years. It was to celebrate the harvest of the year. Later, the festival gained more cultural meanings. It is now a symbol of family reunion and gratitude. On this day, my whole family always gets together, has a wonderful dinner, and watches the full moon.
数字+ thousand + 可数名词复数；thousands of + 可数名词复数
When I was a little boy, my grandma told me the story of Chang‘e. I would look up and try to find her on the moon while enjoying delicious mooncakes.
Many great poets in China wrote about the festival. I like this poem best:
The sea mirrors the rising moon bright tonight;
Far apart from each other, our hearts share the moment.
“当……时”作连词
常见短语：at the moment 此刻；for a moment 片刻；
for the moment 目前；in a moment 立即；
the moment（that）一……就……
I think there are many festivals celebrating the harvest all over the world. Do you know of any, Jenny
Bye for now!
Li Ming
