Among them, I like Mid-Autumn festival best, especially because I livein Xiamen.In Xiamen, when we celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival, we do not only follow the mon practices such as having a big dinner party with our family, eating mooncakes, and appreciating the full moon at night, we also have oneunique custom which is only practiced in Xiamen, that is “Bo Bing”.“Bo Bing” is a very interesting game that almostall Xiamen people play during this festival. Usuallyfamily members or close friends get together around atable with a big round bowl in the middle and six dicesin the bowl. We take turns to throw the dices into the bowl. We will get different prizes accroding to the different ways the dices show their upper sides. Everyone is likely to bee the chion or “Zhuangyuan” for the year. There is an element of luck and equal opportunity in this game. So people usually get excited while playing. Also, the game gives very pleasant sounds. The tinkling made by the dices falling into the bowl is pleasant, people"s laughing, cheering and applauding for the big prizes they"ve won is pleasant. All this adds greatly to thejoyful atmosphere of this festival. As a kid, of course I also like the material prizes I get from the game, suchas a candy or a cake.In this year"s Mid-Autumn Festival, my family invited our foreign friends to e to our home to celebrate the Festival together. They have two children who are youngerthan me. While our parents were making Jiaozi together, we kids played “Bo Bing”. We bought quite some gifts to share with our guests as their prizes.They enjoyed the game and our get-together very much.The literal translation of “Bo Bing” is “mooncake gambling.” But actu ally it is not gambling, at least our family never plays it that way. For us, it is more an occasion of happy sharing and getting-together. This is why Xiamen"s Mid-Autumn Festival has bee my favorite festival in the year.Thank you very much!精品范文三Good afternoon, dear teachers and friends!I' m happy to make a speech here. Thank you for your ing. Now, the topic for my speech today is “Western Festivals.” I would like to talk about Christmas.Christmas is originally a Christian festival, as you can see from the formation of this word, “Christ-mas.” The first part of the word refers to Jesus Christ, and the second part “mas” es from the word “mass,” referring to a main religious ceremony in some Christian churches. At first, it was celebrated for the birth ofJesus Christ. Nowadays, although some churches still observe this festival for its religious reason, for most people, including Chinese people, Christmas has already bee a day of secular celebrations, when people exchange greetings and gifts. However, it is still a biggest festival in the West. It is as important to the Westerners as the Spring Festival is to the Chinese people.Christmas day is on the 25th of December, and Christmas Eve is of course the evening of the previous day, the 24th December.Christmas holiday usually lasts for two weeks, during which most schools have a Christmas break. Many families put the Christmas tree in their house, and hang many decorations on the tree. Under the tree, they usually place many Christmas presents. Giving out presents and receiving presents are what kids like best about this festival.On Christmas Eve, kids would put stockings at the end of their bed, wishing the Santa Claus would e and give them presents.As to the tradition of giving and receiving presents in Christmas, I think it has something to do with the nativity story. In the nativity story, on the birthday of baby Jesus, there was a bright star shining in the East. There were three kings in the East who saw the star, and they followed the star all the way to Bethlehem where the star stopped. They came to a manger where baby Jesus was lying. They worshiped the little baby and gave him presents. I think this is a beautiful story. It shows a spirit of sharing and love.I like Christmas for the presents kids will receive and for its lovely story.Thank you very much!。
