Answer 1

Mid-autumn Day is a Chinese festival. It usually comes in September or October. On that day we usually eat a big dinner and mooncakes. （It is said “Hou Yi ”missed his wife, so he

made mooncakes. It looks like the moon.）

There are many kinds of mooncakes. They are small round cakes with meat, nuts, yolk or something sweet inside. Eating mooncakes has been our custom. Families stay outside in the open air eating mooncakes. The most important thing is looking at the moon, In the evening, the moon looks brighter and rounder. We call this moon the full moon.

On that day, there will be a big family dinner which makes family members round up. People who work far away from their homes will try to come back for the union. At dinner, they can look back on the past and look forward to the future together. After dinner, people will light the lanterns which are usually red and round. Children will play with their own toy lanterns happily, so we call this day getting together.
