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.
4 . Christmas around the world is a wonderful time for celebration and a sharing of Christmas traditions around the world. No matter where you and your family spend your Christmas around the world, it is sure to be a time for laughter and cheer.
It is both interesting and exciting to learn about other Christmas traditions around the world. Christmas around the world for many is a time full of stories, traditions and beliefs, nowhere is this more true than in the country of Poland where superstitions(迷信) and legends take preference.
Christmas Eve in Poland is a time for family gathering and reunion. It is also considered to be a night of magic. It was believed long ago that animals talked and had the power to tell the future. The traditional Polish Christmas Eve dinner is a grand feast including twelve different dishes representing the twelve months of the year.
Usually the meal will not include any meat except for fish. Some of the favorite dishes include wild mushrooms or peas, dried fruit compote (蜜饯) for dessert, dumplings with a variety of fillings. When dinner is finished, the host will give a signal for everyone to rise as it is bad luck for only one person to rise at a time.
Christmas in Poland would not be complete without the storytelling and Christmas songs sung around the Christmas tree. In Poland after the traditional Christmas Eve dinner, the remainder of the night is reserved for exactly that storytelling and singing while sitting around the beautifully decorated tree with its glass decorations, eggshells colored paper and straw.

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.
