    On Christmas Eve—the night before Christmas Day—children are very happy. They put their stockings at the end of their beds before they go to bed. They want Father Christmas to give them some presents.

    Mr. Green tells his children that Father Christmas is a very kind man, He comes on Christmas Eve. He lands on the roof of each house and comes down the chimney into the fireplace and brings them a lot of presents.

    On Christmas Day the children wake up very early. They can't wait to open the presents in their stockings. Then they wake up their parents and say, “Merry Christmas!”

    Do you know what Christmas means? Christmas Day is the birthday of Jesus Christ. When Christ was born, many people gave him presents. So today, people still do the same thing to each other.

    It's February. The Spring Festival is coming soon. People are very busy. Before the Spring Festival people like cleaning their houses. They always decorate (装饰) their houses in red. During this festival, people usually do a lot of shopping. Parents buy new clothes for their children. All the family members will get together and have big meals. Children are very happy, because they have no school at the Spring Festival. They visit relatives (亲戚) and friends. They play games and have great fun. They are very excited (兴奋的) because they can get lucky money(压岁钱) from adults (成年人). Everyone likes the Spring Festival.

    Little Peter is now in Beijing with his parents. Little Peter doesn't know much Chinese, but he is trying to learn and speak it. He often tries to speak Chinese to his Chinese friends. Sometimes they don't understand him, because he can't speak Chinese well.

    It's Sunday morning. He goes out. He is walking in the street. He is going to the zoo to see the monkeys, but he doesn't know how to get there. He asks a Chinese boy. The boy can't understand him. Then he takes out a pen and some paper. He draws a monkey on it, and shows the picture to the boy. The boy smiles and then shows little Peter the way to the zoo.
