The Dragon Boat Festival is coming.

Next Monday is the Dragon Boat Festival, so we'll have a three-day holiday starting tomorrow.

The special traditional food for the Dragon Boat Festival is zongzi, normally made of sticky rice.

I learned how to make zongzi from my great-grandma when I was a kid, so I can make it by myself.

Every time I make zongzi I would remember my great-grandma and the generous love she gave me.

For most Chinese people, the Dragon Boat Festival is to remember the famous ancient person Qu Yuan. For me, it's also a time to remember my great-grandma.


下周一是端午节,所以从明天开始我们有三天假。

端午节特有的传统食物是糯米做的粽子。

我小时候从曾祖母那里学会了包粽子,所以我会自己包。

每次包粽子,我都会想起我的曾祖母和她给予我的慷慨的爱。

对大多数中国人来说,端午节是为了纪念著名的古人屈原。对我来说,这也是一个纪念我曾祖母的日子。
