The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in China. Chinese people have been celebrating it for centuries. It comes in winter. We usually have a 15-day holiday, but in 2020, a disease called COVID-19（新型冠状病毒） hit China. We had a longer holiday than before.
As we all know, the Spring Festival is a time to get new. We usually clean and decorate（装饰）our house carefully before it comes. Before the new year, I helped my mother clean the rooms and wash our quilts. My father put up red couplets（春联）on the doors and red paper cutting on the windows. It’s said that red is a lucky color in China. In the new year, no matter how far it is, we come back to have a big dinner together with all the family members. However, we didn’t visit any relatives and friends because of the sudden illness. I just said “Happy new year,” to my parents. At night, I was glad to talk with my friends on Wechat（微信）. It’s exciting for me to get Wechat red packet（微信红包） from my grandparents. My mother likes buying all the products from the supermarket. During this new year, she had to order things on the Internet, so she received many packages（包裹）.
After the Lantern Festival, we couldn’t go to school. Instead we studied on computers or pads at home. Our teachers organized online teaching for us, and we were able to have classes through the new way of teaching. During the holiday, how I hoped that I could go to school earlier.

【推荐3】To clean the whole house on Chinese New Year’s Eve is a very old custom in China. Days before the Spring Festival, Chinese families clean their houses and wash daily things.
Lighting fireworks is one of the most important customs in the Spring Festival celebration. At the midnight of Chinese New Year’s Eve, cities and towns are lit up by beautiful fireworks.
On the first day of the Spring Festival, everybody wears new clothes and greets relatives and friends. Because visiting relatives and friends takes a lot of time, some people will send greeting cards to express their good wishes rather than pay a visit in person.

Shaine Smith is an American high school student. In her free time, Shaine builds wheelchairs for animals in need. So far, she has made wheelchairs for dogs, cats and ducks.
Shaine has always loved animals. She has a dog, two cats and a guinea pig (豚鼠）. She also helps at animal shelters(收容所) and hospitals. But the animal lover is sad when she learned that old and disabled animals are often euthanized (安乐死) because they can’t walk and need special care.
One night in December of 2020, a video on the Internet gave her hope. In the video, disabled dogs ran around happily in wheelchairs.“I can make wheelchairs for old and disabled animals!” She decided.
Then Shaine spent her free time watching videos to learn to make wheelchairs for animals. She also learned from animal doctors. After she made the first one, she tested on her own dog and cats.
In February of 2021, Shaine was so excited to receive her first order. It was from the owner of a blind dog called Cypress. The 7- month -old dog had shorter front legs than her back legs. Seeing Cypress run and play in her wheelchair, Shaine felt good.
In order to let more animals use the wheelchair, she accepts just enough money to cover the cost. Her wheelchair is about $300, but a wheelchair from big companies is about $1,000.
“I just do them in my free time,”said Shaine. “But I’ve saved a few lives, and I really hope to save more.”
