　　9. Describe a traditional Chinese festival

　　Just like you have Christmas in western countries， we Chinese hold spring festival to celebrate our Chinese new year. It takes place on the first day of our lunar calendar， and the most exciting night is the Eve. On the Eve， there usually is a family re， and all families will be sitting around the same table in our grandpas， feasting， toasting and chit-chatting. We will all be watching TV waiting for the coming of the New Year. At 12 sharp， we Chinese guonian. guo in English means to drive away， and nian is the name of a horrible creature in our Chinese fairy tale that visits our land once a year destroying our homes devouring our crops. Thats the main reason why we Chinese will let out fire works and crackers. Later on after that， we visit our friends and fellow workers， to send our best regards for the coming New Year. The old will seal money into red pockets making lucky money and hand out the kids to make their growing up one year older.
