3 . Here are four traditional festivals in Spain.
Saint John’s Eve
Saint John’s Eve is a midsummer celebration being celebrated at the eve of the Feast Day of Saint John the Baptist. According to a legend, Saint John was born six months before Jesus, so the day of Saint John the Baptist was set to be celebrated six months before Christmas. Nowadays, for most people Saint John’s Eve just marks the start of summer.
Festival of Saint Fermin
The festival is held annually in Pamplona, Spain, beginning at noon on July 6 and ending at midnight on July 14, honoring the city’s first bishop and patron saint, Saint Fermin. The festival involves traditions such as running, bullfighting and fireworks.
Fallas in Valencia
This festival involves statues that have been constructed all year round being placed all around Valencia. That is not all. All of the statues at the end of the festival are just burned right in front of everyone’s eyes. It is an annual celebration held in March.

Originally, the Duanwu Festival was called Tango no Sekku in Japan and celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month on the lunar calendar. However, the festival became a Children's Day, which was designated as a national holiday by the Japanese government in 1948. It is celebrated for children’s personalities and their happiness.
2. South Korea
Falling on the May 5 in the Chinese lunar calendar—the day of China's Dragon Boat Festival, South Korea's Gangneung Danoje has the longest history among Korean local festivals and its main purpose is to honour the guardian spirit of a mountain that protects the town, pray for peace among the town and its families as well as farming prosperity.
Festival celebrations consist of shamanistic rituals, folk dances and songs, oral narrative poetry and various popular pastimes. The Nanjang market is another festival element, where local products and handicrafts are sold and contests, games and circus performances take place.

The winter holiday is coming. My classmates and I are talking about how to do during the holiday. We can chose between staying at home and take a trip. If we stay at home, it is comfortable but there is no need to spend money. But in that case, we will learn little about world. If we go on a trip abroad, we can broaden your view and gain knowledges we cannot get from books. Some classmates suggest we go to places of an interest nearby. I thought that it is a good idea. It does not cost many money, yet we can still learn a lot.

Yesterday is my 18th birthday. By 4 o'clock all my friend had come with a lot of beautiful presents. My parents cooked a big meal but put a big birthday cake on the table. All my friends began to sing Happy Birthday. See the 18 candles burning, I couldn't keep back my tears. Mother asked me make a wish before I blew out the candles. After that, everyone enjoyed the sweet birthday cake and shared with my happiness. They spent a wonderful night together, eating and talking happy. I am eighteen years old now, that means I've become a adult and have more responsibility.

It is Mother’s Day today. Though it’s a western festival, it’s popular in China now.
Mom has a full-time job, so she has to do most of the houseworks. She is a great mother. Both Dad or I planned to do something on Mother’s Day. We get up early in the morning. Dad cleaned the house, and then went on shopping. When he came back, I found a bunch of flowers in her hand. I asked Mom to stay in the sitting room and I cooked in kitchen. The dishes what I cooked were Mom’s favoritest. At dinner, we said to her, “Happy Mother’s Day!” Mom was grateful and moving.
