Recently, the Spring Festival has been successfully inscribed on the World Heritage List, which has become a hot topic.
The Spring Festival holds a special place in our hearts. It is a time when we express our gratitude to our ancestors and look forward to a better future. Moreover, it is a carrier of our traditional culture.During the festival, traditional customs such as pasting couplets and setting off fireworks create a strong festive atmosphere. What's more, it strengthens the bond among family members and the whole nation.
I'm really excited about this great news. I hope that the Spring Festival can spread its unique charm globally, promoting cultural exchange and understanding among different countries.
读后续写：
Paragraph 1:
The man, seeing that the boy already had so much money started to get angry again. “How can you be so selfish Why do you want more money since you already have these bills ” The father could hardly hold his anger back and inquired with two eyebrows knitted into one. Holding back tears in his eyes, the little boy slowly and carefully counted out his money, and then looked up at his father, replying, “Because I didn’t have enough before, but now I do.” with big blue eyes shining with tears. Wiping away his tears and with an innocent smile appearing on his face, the boy requested in a relieved voice, “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour from you Please come home early tomorrow. I want to have dinner with you.”
Paragraph 2:
After hearing what the boy said, the father felt so sorry for what he had said to his son. Tears filled his eyes and he gave a deep hug to the son. In the past few years, he was always engaged in work and never spent a single weekend with his son. This $20 is just a short reminder to all of us working so hard for our living. Don’t let time slip through our fingers without having spent some quality time with those who really matter to us.
