2、ragon-boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. Among them, I like Mid-Autumn festival best, especially because I live in Xiamen.In Xiamen, when we celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival, we do not only follow the common practices such as having a big dinner party with our family, eating mooncakes, and
3、appreciating the full moon at night, we also have one unique custom which is only practiced in Xiamen, that is “;Bo Bing;.;Bo Bing; is a very interesting game that almost all Xiamen people play during this festival. Usually family members or close friends get together around a table with a big round
4、 bowl in the middle and six dices in the bowl. We take turns to throw the dices into the bowl. We will get different prizes accroding to the different ways the dices show their upper sides. Everyone is likely to become the champion or “;Zhuangyuan; for the year. There is an element of luck and equal
5、 opportunity in this game. So people usually get excited while playing. Also, the game gives very pleasant sounds. The tinkling made by the dices falling into the bowl is pleasant, people’s laughing, cheering and applauding for the big prizes they’ve won is pleasant. All this adds greatl
6、y to the joyful atmosphere of this festival. As a kid, of course I also like the material prizes I get from the game, such as a candy or a cake.In this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, my family invited our foreign friends to come to our home to celebrate the Festival together. They have two childr
7、en who are younger than me. While our parents were making Jiaozi together, we kids played “;Bo Bing;. We bought quite some gifts to share with our guests as their prizes.They enjoyed the game and our get-together very much.The literal translation of “;Bo Bing; is “;mooncake gambling.; But actually i
8、t is not gambling, at least our family never plays it that way. For us, it is more an occasion of happy sharing and getting-together. This is why Xiamen’s Mid-Autumn Festival has become my favorite festival in the year.Thank you very much!【篇二】Good afternoon, dear teachers and friends!I' m
9、happy to make a speech here. Thank you for your coming. Now, the topic for my speech today is “;Western Festivals.; I would like to talk about Christmas.Christmas is originally a Christian festival, as you can see from the formation of this word, “;Christ-mas.; The first part of the word refers to J
10、esus Christ, and the second part “;mas; comes from the word “;mass,; referring to a main religious ceremony in some Christian churches. At first, it was celebrated for the birth of Jesus Christ. Nowadays, although some churches still observe this festival for its religious reason, for most people, i
11、ncluding Chinese people, Christmas has already become a day of secular celebrations, when people exchange greetings and gifts. However, it is still a biggest festival in the West. It is as important to the Westerners as the Spring Festival is to the Chinese people.Christmas day is on the 25th of Dec
12、ember, and Christmas Eve is of course the evening of the previous day, the 24th December.Christmas holiday usually lasts for two weeks, during which most schools have a Christmas break. Many families put the Christmas tree in their house, and hang many decorations on the tree. Under the tree, they u
13、sually place many Christmas presents. Giving out presents and receiving presents are what kids like best about this festival.On Christmas Eve, kids would put stockings at the end of their bed, wishing the Santa Claus would come and give them presents.As to the tradition of giving and receiving prese
14、nts in Christmas, I think it has something to do with the nativity story. In the nativity story, on the birthday of baby Jesus, there was a bright star shining in the East. There were three kings in the East who saw the star, and they followed the star all the way to Bethlehem where the star stopped
15、. They came to a manger where baby Jesus was lying. They worshiped the little baby and gave him presents. I think this is a beautiful story. It shows a spirit of sharing and love.I like Christmas for the presents kids will receive and for its lovely story.Thank you very much!【篇三】The Spring Festival
16、is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West.Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for breakfast, as they think &jiaozi& in sound means &bidding far
