The most important holiday

Taiwan has many holidays. The most important one is the Chinese New Year.  Chinese New Year means a start of a new year. We do many things to celebrate, like: cleaning up the whole house, getting together with family, eating New Year Eve dinner, giving children red envelopes etc. And the most important thing is to paste the couplets on the door. Each year we will tear off the old couplets, and paste new ones one both sides of the door.  The words on the couplets are about good luck, great prosperity, best wishes and so on.

Food Project

Many of us don't understand what happiness really means. We always complain our

lunch at school, or dislike that food the our parents cook. But we never think about

what people in the past ate. So I asked my grandparents what they ate in the past.

They said they were poor and didn't have enough money to buy rice before, so they added a lot of yam or some salt inside the porridge for breakfast.

 I can't imagine how the porridge looked and how they ate the whole bowl.

 Then I asked my mother what she ate for breakfast in the past.

She said they were also poor before, but they could have soybean milk and sesame - seed pita.

After the interview I am very glad to live in a modern society.

 Now I eat fruit, a cup of milk, and a piece of bread every morning. I satisfied. I won't complain about the food now.

 Take a chance to try the yam porridge, and you will be glad to live in a modern society.
