I'm sally, an eight-year-old girl. I eat many foods every day. I often have bread and milk for breakfast. I have rice and some vegetables for lunch at school. I have tomatoes, noodles and juice for dinner. I like apples, too. Some apples are red, some are green. I like eating the red ones because they are beautiful. Oh, it's six p.m. now. I'm hungry. I'd like some noodles and an apple for supper this time.

There are many jobs in the world. Different people do different jobs.

The Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival has a long history (历史) of more than 2, 000 years. It usually comes in June. During these 2, 000 years, many traditions (传统) change.

Dragon boat racing (赛龙舟) is one of the most important traditions of the Dragon Boat Festival. People in the south and southeast of China usually have dragon boat racing on Dragon Boat Festival. Because there are many lakes and rivers in the south of China. The dragon boat is made of wood. It looks like a Chinese dragon with a dragon head on one side of the boat. It has a long body. There are usually 18 to 20 people in a standard (标准的) dragon boat for races. 

Eating zongzi is another important tradition of the Dragon Boat Festival. In China, almost every family will eat zongzi when the festival comes. Zongzi is a rice dumpling usually wrapped (包) in bamboo leaves, with different fillings (馅儿). People in the south like the salty one, but those in Northern China like the sweet one. 

During the Dragon Boat Festival, people usually hang calamus (菖蒲) and wormwood (艾草) on their doors. It helps people drive away the insects. People believe the smell of wormwood and calamus can help them avoid diseases (预防疾病).
