“On Sunday, my sister and I went shopping. I bought a black skirt : it is beautiful. My sister bought a white t-shirt. Later we went to the cinema to watch a Chinese film in the evening. We went home.” Ling Ling

“In China the new year was on February the 18th. My mother, my sister and I watched TV. We sang and had dinner. The next day, we went at my aunt’s: she gave my sister and I a red envelope with money in it. It is a tradition in China. In the evening we went home.” Meng Ru.

“ I went to the countryside with my brother. We ate in a restaurant. A lot of people danced. They sang very well. It was lively. We ate dumplings and spring rolls with lettuce. I liked dancing and singing.” Jing.
