THE CHINESE NEW YEAR - 2007 THE YEAR OF THE PIG


What did the Chinese students do on the new year day?

“I ate the food that my mother cooked. It was spicy. I loved it because it is good. My father and my mother didn’t work for one day.” Shan.

“On the Chinese new year, I went to the movies to watch a Chinese film. In the evening, my parents, my aunts, my uncles and I had dinner in a restaurant in Belleville.” Ming Ming.

“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.

“I was unlucky. I had a stomach ache as if I had eaten something bad. My mother asked me if I needed a doctor. I said I didn’t. I felt a bit better but then I went to bed.” Jie Ru.
