My favourite festival is the Spring Festival. People also call it Chinese New Year. It often comes in January or February every year. It's very important to every Chinese. We always have a big family dinner together. We often eat fish and dumplings. At night we watch firework and watch TV. We eat sweets and peanuts(花生). We go to visit relatives and friends. We often get red packets with some money in them. We can buy some toys and books. We say “Happy New Year” to each other at the Spring Festival.

    Canada is the second largest country in the world. It is in North America.

    Canada and the US are neighbours. Ottawa is the capital of Canada.

There are many large rivers and lakes in Canada. Niagara Falls is very famous.

    There are many interesting things about Canada. It is a nation of differences.

    In the north, there is almost ice and snow all year around. In the south, there are great forests. One very important difference in Canada is language. Most Canadians speak English, but some speak French. Many people in Canada speak both English and French.

    The students of Grade One are going to have a winter camp. They are going to live together for a week. No one is going to help them. They must go shopping and do the cooking and washing themselves. On the first two days, they are going to stay in the camp. They can watch videos and play computer games and get everything ready for the next five days. On the third day, they are going to visit a modem car factory. On the fourth or fifth day, they are going to have a picnic. On the sixth day, they are going to get up early and watch the sunrise. They are going to come back on the seventh day. Some of them are coming home by train and some of them are coming back by bus.
