Section B — Reading: Vincent’s Holiday Diary (1b)

17 July

Today was our first day to visit Moscow. The weather was fine and everyone felt excited to visit some famous places in Russia.In the morning, we went to the Victory Museum. The Russian people built this museum to remember their fight against the Nazis during World War II. As we walked through the halls, the tour guide told us stories about the war.In one hall, I saw an artwork with thousands of glass “tears” falling down. It reminds us that war is terrible and peace does not come easily. We should not forget that.At noon, we had lunch at a restaurant near the park. I liked the ice cream there, so I ate a lot of it. But during dinner, I didn’t feel like eating because I felt sick. So now, I just want to get a good night’s sleep.

18 July

It rained last night, so this morning the air was fresh and cool. I felt much better today.We took the Moscow Metro to travel around. The metro stations are really beautiful. Sometimes I felt like I was walking inside a palace. After that, we went to Red Square. We saw some fantastic buildings there.In the afternoon, we arrived at a school and met a group of Russian students. We played games and soon became friends. Later, someone took out his accordion, and soon everyone got together to sing and dance. We were so happy that we didn’t notice the time. It was such a good experience!

Telling China’s Story — The Chongyang Festival

The Chongyang Festival is a traditional Chinese festival. It falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, so it is also known as the Double Ninth Festival. This festival has been celebrated for over 2,000 years.It is a day to enjoy the autumn weather and spend time with family members, especially the elderly. Families usually invite their elderly members for festive meals, as Chongyang is a day to show respect for the aged.During the Chongyang Festival, families often climb mountains or hills. It is said that climbing to high places on this day can help keep diseases away. After climbing, families usually enjoy a picnic. The most important food is Chongyang cake (Chongyang gao), which symbolizes a better life. Traditional Chongyang dishes are different from place to place, but all are considered lucky foods for the holiday.No matter how it is celebrated, Chongyang is a time for families to get together and enjoy the season. Mountain climbing, family meals, and respect for the elderly all remind people of the importance of family.
