Part A : Mid-Autumn Festival

The mid-autumn festival is celebrated on the fifthteen day of the eight-month in the lunar calendar. This year, it falls on October 3rd in year 2009. The moon is brightest on this day.

One week before the day, my family and I will go to buy some mooncakes that my family likes. We bought different kinds of mooncakes, green tea mooncakes and lotus paste mooncakes. We would also buy fireworks, candles and lanterns.

When the day comes, my family and I like to go out to attend events where there are special performances, such as lion dance, dragon dance and lucky draw, in parks. After that, my sister would light her lantern while my parents, my brother and I would light up all the candles that we bought, making a beautiful scene, adding to the atmosphere of festivity. We were filled with spontaneity at then. Then, my family and I would play with fireworks. We were totally engrossed in the spectacular view of being in the midst of sparkling lights. These fireworks made my family and I have a rare sense of light-hearted chirpiness.

Lastly, we would admire the full, bright moon as a family. We made our individual wishes. Our faces glowed in the shine, as we were all smiles.

We will then head home to eat our favourite mooncakes and chat with each other, with exuberant feelings.
