My Favorite Holiday

There are many big holidays in America, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. In China, we also have some important holidays. For me, I prefer Chinese traditional holiday, especially the spring festival.

Spring festival is an important holiday in China, and it is on the first day of the first lunar month. Before the Spring Festival, people would like to buy presents for relatives, such as meat, fruit, flowers drinks and somethings. Furthermore, when the Spring Festival is coming, children are always very happy because mothers will buy some pretty clothes and delicious snacks for their children. In addition, at the Spring Festival night twelve o’clock, people always eat dumplings to celebrate. Sometimes, people like putting a coin into a dumplings, if someone could get the coin when he is eating, he will be lucky the whole year. In brief, it is really a happy festival.

Unfortunately, next spring festival will be my second one in America because my class will begin when the spring festival comes. However, whether I am in China or not, I could still feel the happyness.

The Strangest Thing I Have Ever Eaten

Most of my friends said I am a timid girl, because I never watch any scary movie or eat any strangest food. If I have to talk about the most strange food I have ever eaten, I think it should be stinky tofu.


I know many people don't like it. When I was in high school, before I taste it, I also don't like it. I even don't understand why people cook this kind of food. Whereas there was a day, after we finished class, my few good friends all planed to ride bicycles to eat stinky tofu. At the begining, I don't want to go, but friends told me that the taste was much better than the smell. Therefore, I tried. I still remembered the first time I ate stinky tofu, it was not good, and I think it mainly because I had some prejudices against it. However, after several times, I love it more and more. After that, my friends and I went to eat stinky tofu every day after class was over. When we ate, we talked fun stories a lot, and sometimes I even couldn't have dinner which was cooked by mom when I got back home.

That was really a great time, and until now I still miss the experience at that period and the special taste of stinky tofu.
