【盐仓24秋】外研版(2024)英语七年级上册单元主题素养阅读延伸 Unit 4 Time to celebrate Reading for writing—Presenting idea
The Dragon Boat Festival is on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar. It was on 10th June in 2024. How does this festival come about?
Qu Yuan is a great poet of the State of Chu. He loves his country and people very much. And he gives many good ideas to his king. But the king doesn't listen to him. At last, the State of Qin conquers(战胜) Chu. Qu Yuan feels very sad. He jumps into the Miluo River in Hunan on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. The people of Chu also love Qu Yuan very much. From then on, people always show their love for Qu Yuan on that day.
The dragon boat race is a very important part of the Dragon Boat Festival. Usually, a dragon boat is 20 to 30 metres long. And 20 to 30 people sit on each boat. To win the race, people in different groups row(划) their dragon- like boats as fast as they can. It's very exciting to watch!
People also eat zongzi on that day. Most people buy zongzi from shops but some old people like to make zongzi by themselves. They use bamboo leaves to wrap(包) rice and thread(线) to tie it. They also wrap other food in the leaves. People in different places have different tastes. In the south of China, most people like eating meat zongzi. In the north of China, people often put some sweet food in zongzi.
Wormwood(艾草) is a kind of plant people use on the Dragon Boat Festival. People say it can help them keep healthy if they use it to clean their bodies. They also think wormwood can stop bad things from going into their houses, so people put wormwood on their doors.

Dear Li Ping, How is it going? We haven't written to each other for a year. I think both of us may change a lot. What are you like now? Which is the most important change for you? The biggest change for me is that I fall in love with Chinese tea. As far as I know, Hangzhou is famous for tea. Can you tell me how tea is produced in your city? Hope to hear from you soon. Love, Linda |
