Lily: Amy, how long have you been here?
Amy: I came to China on June, it has been 7 months.
Lily: Wow, that is a long time. And you must never spend the Spring Festival in China.
Amy: Yes, and I going to stay in China this year to see how Chinese people spend their most important festival.
Lily: Really? Maybe you can come to celebrate it with my fam山西癫痫病治疗官网ily.
Lily: My parents would be happy to have you. I believe you will love it. Though we live in downtown, we always spend Spring Festival in hometown.
Amy: You mean in the countryside?
Lily: Yes, I believe you will know a lot about Chinese traditions this winter holiday, such as the custom, practices, cuisine, greeting and so on.

B: Uh...I'm a bit confused; New Year's Day was over weeks ago.
A: You must be kidding! It is Chinese New Year, silly!
B: Oh right, it slipped my mind. Why do you celebrate two New Years?
A: Chinese New Year is according to the lunar calendar. Chinese have been celebrating New Years in this fashion for thousands of years.
B: I noticed that our company was very empty the past couple of days.
A: That is because everyone goes home for Chinese New Year; it is a family holiday, not so much a party holiday. Would you like to come to my house for New Year's Dinner?
B: Of course. Will you set off firecrackers?
A: Naturally, but the most important thing that we do during New Years is to eat! So make sure to bring your appetite!
