Many people like to travel by plane, but I don't like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can't open the window. You can't choose the food. Planes are fast, but it still takes hours to get out of the airport and into the city.I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. The stations are usually in cities. When you can't catch a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train. You can see many interesting things on your way. And the trains are fast too.I also like cars. You can start your trip when you want to, and you don't need to reach a train station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.

    My name is Zhang Peng. I have a friend. His name is John. He has a grandpa and a grandma. They are seventy years old. They are at home. John's father works in a school. His mother is a doctor. John is a good student. They are very busy. They all get up early in the morning. John often helps his grandparents cook breakfast. There is a big garden and many young trees in front of his house. We can play games there. It's great.

    Today is the Lantern Festival (元宵节). The Lantern Festival comes after the Spring Festival.

    The weather is often cold. You can see a full moon (满月) in the sky.

    At the Lantern Festival, you can see many beautiful lanterns in the street. The streets and shops are bright and colourful at night.

    People like guessing the riddles on the lanterns. They also eat yuanxiao for dinner. Yuanxiao is a kind of Chinese food for this festival.

    Children often light (点亮) beautiful lanterns for fun.
