II. Talk about your trip on Chinese New Year vacation

EX:
I went to 飛牛牧場 with my family on the third day of Chinese New Year vacation. We went there by car. It was a very big field with a lot of flowers and funny stuff to see. We saw cows, sheep, horses, and rabbits there. We saw the staff feeding baby calf with a very big milk bottle. That was very interesting.
For the following days, we went to different relatives homes for dinners. That is a traditional routine for my family. Normally, there are about 20 to 30 people in the house at once. This year was the same. Some of my aunts and uncles played MahJong with Chinese chess. Some of them sang. The forth generation of my family ran around the house. It was very crowded and filled the atmosphere of New Year.
I like spending time with my family during Chinese New Year. Even we, the third generation didn’t really do something but only talked and watched TV, but, that is the time for all of the family members gathering together.

Now, try to write your own Chinese New Year by the questions below. You can add more sentences.

Where – Where did you go during Chinese New Year?
How – How did you get there?
Who – Who did you go with?
When – When did you go?
What – What did you see there? What did you do there?
Are there any special things you do on your Chinese New Year? What are they?
