Chinese New Year is important to all Chinese people. Lisa is a Chinese girl and lives in the UK. Let's meet her and find out how she spent Chinese New Year with her family.

春节对所有中国人来说都很重要。莉萨是一位中国女孩，现居英国。让我们来认识一下她，看看她是如何和家人一起过春节的。

Lisa's Chinese New Year

莉萨的春节

It was time to celebrate Chinese New Year!

是时候庆祝春节了！

Lisa was excited. She started the holiday by calling her grandparents in the morning. She bowed to them over the video call and wished them good health. Then Mum gave Lisa a red envelope. Inside was a gift of money for the new year.

莉萨很兴奋。她一早就给爷爷奶奶打了电话，开启过年的一天。她在视频通话中向爷爷奶奶鞠躬，祝他们身体健康。然后，妈妈给了莉萨一个红包，里面是过年的压岁钱。

At noon, her family gathered around for dumplings. It is a traditional food for celebrating Chinese New Year. After lunch, the family went to the Chinatown parade. Excited crowds stood along the streets and watched the famous Chinese lion dance and the fireworks. It was almost impossible for Lisa to move. Suddenly, the fireworks made a loud noise—Lisa covered her ears. 'The noise can scare off the Monster Nian,' Dad told Lisa.

中午，她和家人围在一起吃饺子，饺子是庆祝春节的传统食物。午饭后，他们一家来到唐人街，观赏春节游行。激动的人群站在街道两旁，欣赏中国著名的舞狮表演和烟花表演。人潮拥挤，莉萨几乎无法动弹。突然，烟花发出一声巨响，莉萨捂住了耳朵。爸爸告诉莉萨：“这声响能吓跑年兽。”

In the evening, Lisa and her parents returned home and had some cookies, her favourite snacks. It was a family tradition to end their New Year's celebration with sweet snacks. For Lisa, Chinese New Year means both the sweet moments of family gathering and the useful knowledge about traditions. That's why she always looks forward to the coming of a new year.

晚上，莉萨和爸爸妈妈回到家里吃曲奇饼，这是她最喜欢的点心。过年以甜点收尾是他们家的新年传统。对莉萨来说，春节既意味着家庭团聚的温馨时刻，也意味着能够了解传统文化。因此，她总是盼望着新一年的到来。

Subskill Guessing unknown words

次重点技能 猜测生词意思

When we come across a word we don't know, we can keep reading and guess its meaning. For example, if we don't know the word 'envelope' in 'a red envelope', we may recognise it as a noun because it follows the adjective 'red'. The next sentence tells us that there is money in it. From this, we can guess what envelope means!

遇到不认识的单词，可以继续往下读，从而猜出其含义。例如，如果不知道“a red envelope”中的“envelope”是什么意思，可以将其视为一个名词，因为它跟在形容词“red”之后。下一句讲述了“envelope”中装着钱，由此可以猜出该单词的含义！

Find clues to the following statements. An example is given.

找出下列语句的线索。示例已给出。

Lisa and her grandparents probably live in different places.

Complete the story about Nian with the words you wrote in B4.

Nian was a monster, and it came out every New Year's Eve to eat villagers. It was impossible for people to find very good ways to keep themselves safe. One day an old man came and taught people how to drive away the monster. The villagers took his advice. When Nian came to the village at night, it heard the loud noise and saw the red colour. It was very afraid and ran away in a moment. All the villagers were excited when they knew this. Nian never return to the village after that night. Now Chinese people still keep the tradition like fireworks, red envelopes, and loud lion dances during the Spring Festival.

年兽每年除夕夜都会来到村子里抓人吃，村民们找不到好的办法来保护自身的安危。一天，一位老者来到村子里，教人们如何赶走年兽。村民们听取了他的建议。晚上，当年兽来到村子里时，听到了巨大的噪音，看到红色，吓得立刻逃跑。村民们得知这个消息后都非常兴奋。那天晚上过后，年兽再也没有回到村子里了。现在，中国人仍然在春节期间保留着放烟花、发红包和热闹的舞狮等传统。
