    My name is Tang Xin. This is my school. It is new and beautiful. There are two buildings in it. There is a big playground, a football field(足球场), a library and twenty-four classrooms in it. There is no swimming pool. Beside the playground there are twenty tall trees and ten short trees. There are seven toilets. There are eight teachers' rooms. I like my school.

    We call Chinese New year the Spring Festival. There is the name of each Chinese year. We may call it the year of the rabbit, the year of the dog or the year of the monkey. And this year is the year of pig.

    Before New Year's Day, people are busy shopping and cleaning the houses. On New Year's Eve, there is a big family dinner, after dinner, the whole family stay up late to welcome the New Year. On the first day of the New Year, people put on their new clothes and go to visit their relatives and friends. They say "Happy New year" and some other greeting to each other. People usually have a very good time during the festival.
