Answer 1

  The most energetic and important festival in China is what we call the Spring Festival, which falls on the first day of the lunar calendar.

  Before the festival, people are busy shopping and cleaning their houses. On New Year's Eve,every family has a delicious feast. All the family stay up late，chatting，playing and watching TV, to welcome the festival. And people burn fire?crackers to greet it. On the first day of the Spring Festival，people put on their new clothes and visit their relatives and friends. When meeting, they send good wishes to each other by saying " Happy New Year！". Children can get lucky money from their parents and relatives then. During the festi?val,there are lion dances and some other activi?ties,lasting at least three days. There's no doubt that people usually have a very good time during the festival.
