    At the Spring Festival, people buy flowers and put them in their houses. They have a big family reunion dinner. And the children get red packets from the older people. They light firecrackers and have great fun. When friends meet, they say "Happy Spring Festival!" to each other.

    There is a new park near my house. It's a fine day today. My family and I are in the park now. On my left, there is a cafe. On my right, there is a big lake. There are many flowers and trees near the lake. There's a small hill behind the lake. Near the lake. There is a sign. It says, "Don't swim in the lake!" There is a playground in the middle of the park. There are some small shops near the gate. The park is so beautiful. We like it very much.
