New Year’s review
Another year has gone by. Every year seems to go by faster than the last one. We had our annual feast at Aunty Joan’s house. She made a wonderful Beijing duck this time.

新年回顧
又是一年過去了。每一年似乎都過得比上一年還快。我們在瓊嬸嬸家吃的年夜飯。這回她做了一道美味可口的北京烤鴨。

Lucky money
I’m so happy toady because I got $3,000 in “Lucky Money.” Grandpa alone gave me $1,000. I must try to save this for college though and not waste it. But I think I’ll allow myself to use part of it to buy a new dress tomorrow and then I’ll put the rest in the bank.

紅包
今天我很高興，因為我拿了三千元的紅包。祖父一個人就給了我一千元。我必須盡量存起來以作上大學之用而不去花掉。不過我想我會讓自己明天用一部分錢去買件新衣服，然后將其他的錢存到銀行里去。

The leap year
As it is a leap year this year which comes once in four years, we have one additional day this month. To those who are born or die on this day, their birthdays or the anniversaries of their death come round only once every four years.

閏年
因為今年是每四年一次的閏年，所以這個月多一天。對那些在這天出生或者死亡的人而言，他們的生日或逝世周年紀念四年才一次。
