When I was a child in training school, I liked festivals, because festivals could bring me new clothes, shoes, delicious food and holidays.
Festivals brought me happiness, too. We didn’t have TV at home. We would play cards, visit relatives and friends, or sit
around chatting and eating delicacies. Festivals were exciting and colorful for children in particular. But now we are no
longer excited over new clothes, shoes and delicious food. Everyday is like a festival. There is nothing special about
festivals. I really miss my childhood festivals.
小時候在英語培訓(xùn)學(xué)校念書時，我喜歡過節(jié)，因?yàn)樵诠?jié)日里可以穿新衣服、新鞋，品嘗美味食品， 還呆以不上學(xué)。節(jié)日也給我?guī)?/DIV>
來快樂。那時候家里沒有電視機(jī)，我們只能打撲克，拜訪親友，到處坐坐，聊聊天，吃些好吃的。對于孩子們來說
節(jié)日真是豐富多彩，令人激動。但是 現(xiàn)在我們再也不會因新衣服、新鞋子或美味食品而興奮不已。每天都像過節(jié)，
節(jié)日也就沒有什么特別之外了。我真的很懷念童年時的節(jié)日。
