With the sound of fireworks(烟花) and crackers(爆竹), we Chinese celebrate the Chinese New Year. But Chinese New Year is being celebrated by people from many     1     around the world!

This winter holiday, I     2     to Bangkok, Thailand. When I     3     arrived in the city center, I was shocked. It was really hard to     4     what I saw. Many windows had posters saying “Happy Chinese New Year”. Many people were     5     red clothes and qipao. And one of the     6     shopping areas in Bangkok was decorated with many rabbits and a sign saying “Lucky Chinese New Year”! I also put on my qipao and walked down the street to     7     the atmosphere (气氛). Many people from different countries smiled at     8     and said nihao to me.

At night, there     9     fireworks over the river in the city center, and the beautiful fireworks made me feel proud to be Chinese.

The next day I also received a message from a pen pal in the UK. He told me that they were also taking part in the celebration and were very     10     in Chinese culture and customs. What a great atmosphere of Chinese New Year from around the world!
