The Spring Festival

Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.

To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year's Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country. 2

Computer

With the development of science and technology, computers are now being used everywhere, whether in the government, in schools or in businesses. They have become a window through which we can understand the world better. Certainly they are also a good tool to learn English.

I chat with foreign friends in English at weekends. It can help to improve my spoken English and written English. Before lunch, I listen to VOA and BBC, so I can train my listening and imitate both American and British spoken English. I often search some English webs before supper. As a result, I not only know the news at home and abroad, but also improve my reading ability. Besides, I often use e-mail to communicate with my friends in English. Thus I can learn something which can not be learned from the textbooks. From what has been mentioned above, it is obvious that learning English through the Internet is a good way to improve your English.
