The Mid-Autumn Festival usually comes in September or October. On that day all the families stay in their houses and eat moon cakes in the evening. There are many kinds of moon cakes. Some have eggs in them, and some have nuts or meat. Beijing moon cakes are cheaper than (比……便宜) Guangdong moon cakes, and Shanghai moon cakes are cheaper than Beijing moon cakes. All the moon cakes are delicious and everyone in China likes to eat them.
Every year, there is a Spring Festival in China. It is the most important festival in China. Usually it is in January or February. So before it comes, everyone has to prepare things. They buy meat, fruits and many other things. Parents buy new clothes for their children. Children also buy presents for their parents. People also make a special kind of food—dumplings. It means "come together". At the Spring Festival Eve(除夕), all the family members come back home. They sing and dance, play cards and make the big family dinner. When (当…的时候) they enjoy the dinner, they give each other the best wishes for the coming year. They all have a good time.
