On that day we familymembers are all together around a big table for breakfast or lunch or supper We have more than ten dishes for dinner. we eat as much as possible. We set fireworks, we play cards, play majiang, we chat and play freely and happily all the day.Different places have different traditions. Take Cili for example, family reunion happens on the early morning of December 30 of the lunar year. Parents get up at about four o’clock early in the morning on that day and are busy preparing for breakfast. They try to have reunion breakfast the earliest, especially people who live by main roads always try their best to have breakfast as early as possible. People have reunion breakfast with the door closed until they finish breakfast. They believe that they will have bad luck if someone knock at the door when they are having breakfast.So if you are invited to Cili for the spring festival, you mustn’t knock at the neighbo rs’ doors when they are not open.7)Do you have any wishes?I wish my parents safe and soundI wish I can be better in my study in this semesterI wish I can make more friends8)What is the biggest festival in western countriesStep 2 IntroductionHow time flies!

What’s your purpose?Most of us began to learn English when we entered junior middle school; some even in primary school. We learned it because it’s a compulsory course. Now we begin to realize that it is useful and important to learn English for we have to communicate with foreign friends and the outside world.2 Do you enjoy learning English?3 How do you feel when you make mistakes in your English learning?Sorry, unhappy, uncomfortable, embarrassed, upset, awkward, lose face; or it was ok to make mistakes, or that making mistakes was natural in learning English4 What do you fear most in learning English?poor pronunciation, unnatural intonation, making mistakes, being unable to express yourself clearly, being laughed at by others, reciting new words5 Do you have any ideas about how to learn English well?reading English newspapers and magazines, reading English loudly every day, watching English language movies, listening to English songs, talking with native English speaker, doing more English exercises.In learning English, we should bear in mind that it is nothing but natural to make mistakes. If we are afraid of making mistakes or losing face, we will not go further in our learning process. Making mistakes can help us gain more information about the world and how language is used to describe it. If we can identify the mistakes by ourselves or they are corrected by others, we can learn in a more effective way. In this sense, if we understand what making mistakes means to us and enjoy losing our faces in learning language, we can all become successful language learners.I also remember a proverb: No mistakes, no progress. Don’t you think so?
