The Chinese New Year is in January dumplings and rice cakes.

or February. It is the most important
festival in China and the celebrations
last for over a week. Chinese people
spend the New Year with their families.
On New Year’s Eve, families put up
lucky red decorations in their houses.
Then they have a special meal together.
They eat typical dishes such as fish,
It is traditional to give presents at
New Year. Children usually get a red
envelope with money inside. On New
Year’s Day Chinese cities have amazing
parades with dragon dances. In most
cities there are also huge firework shows
and people light firecrackers because they
believe this will bring them good luck.

The most important days are New Year’s
Eve (31 December) and New Year’s Day
(1 January). Japanese families often
visit a temple or shrine on New Year’s
Day. They ring a bell and buy a small
piece of paper called an omikuji. It has
a prediction. For example, ‘Next year
you will be very lucky and have good
health.’
After visiting the temple or shrine,
families eat traditional Japanese
New Year noodles at home. Adults give
children an envelope with some money
inside.
Like Chinese people, Japanese
people also believe each year has a lucky
animal. There are 12 lucky animals. For
example, 2022 is the year of the tiger,
2023 the year of the rabbit and 2024
the year of the dragon. For a person
born in 2022, the year of the tiger will
be a lucky year.

A big birthday!
1 Read the email. Whose birthday are they planing to celebrate?
• Sam's • Naomi's
• Sam's auntie's • Naomi's grandma's

From: Naomi
To: Sam

Hi Sam

Thanks for your email. I’m glad that you’re enjoying your holiday
in Miami and that your auntie’s birthday was fun.
My grandma will be 70 in September and we’re going to
organize a surprise birthday party for her. She thinks that we’re
going to have a small celebration with just our family and a few
close friends, but in fact we’re planning something really special!
The biggest surprise for Grandma is that we’re going to invite
her sister Grace to come to the party all the way from Australia!
She left the UK and went to live there 25 years ago and they sometimes chat online. If
she comes to the party, it will be their first meeting for 25 years! We’re also going to invite
some of Grandma’s old school friends to the party. These are friends that she last saw
over 50 years ago!
We’re going to book the village hall and hire a Scottish ceilidh band.
Grandma loves dancing and a ceilidh will be the best way to make sure
everyone enjoys themselves at the party.
We’re going to ask each of the guests to bring something to eat so we
won’t have to order any food ourselves. I think there will probably be
about 50 people at the party so I’m sure we'll have a lot of fun.

Write back soon

Love, Naomi
