India is known as the land of festivals. Every festival has its own celebration activities and my favourite festival is Diwali (光明節(jié)). Every autumn I go to stay with my cousins, so we can celebrate Diwali together.

Diwali is the biggest festival in India and people celebrate it all over the world. It is a magical time for children because of the lights. We light candles and lamps(燈), called "diyas", in our homes. All the streets, houses and shops are decorated with lights. Diwali comes from the Sanskrit (梵語) word "Deep-awali" which means "rows of lights".

On the morning of Diwali, I go to the temple with my family. On this occasion, we get dressed in our best clothes. My grandmother always buys me a new sari(沙麗) to wear for Diwali every year. We spend a long time getting ready, putting on bright clothes and jewellery. Lots of our friends come to the temple and we sing, dance and enjoy ourselves. My cousin play's an Indian instrument called harmonium (小琴) at the temple. There are always delicious sweet foods to eat. Back at my uncle's house, we exchange presents and eat lots of good Indian food. Many relatives come over to celebrate with us and it is a very special time for families.

Every- year, Diwali falls in October or November. Not only in India, but also in Asian countries, Diwali is celebrated with great joy and happiness.

When people talk to each other,write letters or make phone calls,words of the spoken form or the written form can send any message they want to pass on.

But besides words,do you know any other ways you can use to communicate with people?Rich expressions on your face can be one of them.A smile on your face shows that you are happy.Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad or excited.Body languages can do the same job.When you put your hand up in class,the teacher knows that you want to say something or you may have some questions to ask.You shake your head from side to side and people know you are saying “no” or refuse others’ requirements.When you nod,people will understand that you are saying “yes” or agree to others’ opinions or suggestions.

Other forms can also carry different messages.For example,a sign at the bus stop gives passengers instructions on which bus to take.The flag language made by soldiers can pass different orders.Sound from the school bell tells the students and the teachers when to begin or end a class.A photographer can use the photos he has taken to tell others about what he thinks of the world around him.Music and films also convey the feelings and ideas of the musicians and the directors.So next time when you see a piece of art or listen to some music,take it as communication with its creator and try to get the meaning behind it.
