Part III A Sample

My favorite holiday is the Spring Festival. On New Year’s Eve, the whole family gets together and has a banquet. After supper, the elders give the

children packed money/ gifted money with which the young can buy whatever they want. During the Spring Festival, people visit their relatives and wish each other “Happy New Year”. Throughout the Spring Festival, everyone is much friendlier and kinder than at any other time of the year, and you can feel the world is filled with love. During the Spring Festival, since there is no school, the children always walk in the streets in groups, singing and laughing. Sometimes they set off firecrackers and fireworks and generally have a good time. The young always go shopping or go to the parks together, or they can stay at home and watch TV. There is a peaceful and happy atmosphere everywhere.
