【推荐2】I just marked my first Mid-Autumn Festival celebration in China. Exactly a week after arriving for my graduate studies, I was kind of homesick—memories of past _________ back in Serbia(塞尔维亚) with family and friends exchanging scenes in my mind. On the morning of Friday, September 13rd, the_________ on the campus was very cheerful. Chinese students explained to us the importance of the day as gifts of mooncakes were _________. Then came the night. The full moon appeared: huge ball high above the campus, and eyes looked at it with _________. Unlike previous nights, a cool breeze swept through the campus. With Serbian music playing on my headphones, I danced my way, _________ in the wind, and forgetting myself for a moment.

As I settled back into my room, I was fascinated by the festival’s idea. My _________ mind pushed me online where I came across the poem Prelude(前奏) to Water Melody(水调歌头), by the well-known Chinese writer Su Dongpo. This poem concisely(精确地) seized what I was _________ . The message and the tone both resonated(共鸣) with my feelings. Writing to his family, Su wondered what time it was back at home. _________ the time differences between China and Serbia, I was constantly trying to figure out what time it was back at home.

Eventually, Su asked his family to join him in _________ the perfection of a full moon in a __________ night. What a way to finish! I, too, was hoping that all was well with my family. Despite the distance and anxiety that comes with not seeing or hearing from a loved one, we were all flourishing(繁盛的) under the watch of the full moon.

And __________ we may go away from home, as happens from time to time; the family remains the most important __________ to our productive existence. As the Chinese used the holiday to __________ with the loved ones, the Serbian community also got together, shared a meal and walked on the streets under the neon(霓虹灯) lights.

As I write this, a day after the Festival, I cannot help but look forward to the next. Thank my Chinese friends, whose__________ made me and a crowd of other foreign students experience an __________ Mid-Autumn Festival.
