Conversation between two best friends about the Christmas festival
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Jagadev : We don't just celebrate Christmas
during this season. We also celebrate the
coming of the New-Year. Nripesh: Oh, I never thought about that before. There's more than one holiday at the end of the year.
J: Now that I'm in China, I want to celebrate the holidays Chinese-style. What do you and your family do for
Christmas?
N: Actually, we don't do much at Christmas. It's not really a big family holiday. Young people in China would
rather spend Christmas Eve with their boyfriends or girlfriends.
J: So is it something like a date night?
N: Yes, I guess you could say that. Christmas Eve is special, but we don't usually have any special plans for
Christmas Day.
J: Don't people give gifts to each other like they do in the U.S.?
N: Many parents do give gifts to their kids. But more importantly, boyfriends give wonderful, special, romantic
gifts to their girlfriends!
J: I see. How about the New Year in China. Is it a bigger holiday than Christmas?
N: Not really.We don't celebrate it because the Spring Festival is much more important to us here in China.
J: The Spring Festival is known around the world as "Chinese New Year". It's the beginning of the year
according to the traditional lunar calendar, isn't it?
N: That's right. The Spring Festival is the biggest family holiday in China, So we don't celebrate the western
New Year. How about in New York? Do people celebrate New Year's Eve more or New Year's Day?
J: There are two kinds of people who celebrate quite differently. Single people, or couples without children,
often go out late on New Year's Eve. They drink and party after the clock strikes midnight. There are big parties
all over, but the biggest is in Times Square in Manhattan.
N: I guess they won't have much energy left over to do anything on New Year's Day, then.
J: Right. But there are families who don't do anything special on New Year's Eve. Instead, they celebrate with
their families on New Year's Day.
N: What do they do on New Year's Day?
J: They have a big meal to celebrate and often watch parades in the big cities. The parades are quite
spectacular.
N: It sounds a little bit like our traditional Lion Dance.
J: Yes, it's a lot like the Lion Dance, except there is no lion.
