Bringing some nutrients and tonics (滋补品) to the elders in the family is a good idea. You can3prepare some small gifts for the spouse (配偶)or kids of the host.

We experienced a special period in 2020. Xu Yi, a middle school student from Hubei, told something (interest) to us. Let's check out his story and resolution for the new term.

When Xu Yi was learning English as exchange student in the UK, his English friend (invite) him to take a Chinese culture course. Then, at 9: 30 a. m. the next day, it finally came. He followed the friend to the classroom and was welcomed her classmates. They gave him (present), which moved and excited him.

The lesson was about an ancient Chinese character (字体)called Xiaozhuan. The teacher (clear) explained it from its history to development, how it worked in society and why it was so popular in the Qin Dynasty. She also taught the differences between Xiaozhuan the modern Chinese character.

On the one hand, Xu Yi takes pride in Chinese culture. On the other hand, it's a shame that he knows almost nothing about it. As the culture (reach) the world, the Chinese should study more about it. As a senior high school student, he is going to read as many (book) as possible to open his mind. He hopes every Chinese person will love and (valuable) Chinese culture. After all, everyone is responsible for building and keeping it.

I remember that when I met my cousin, I (hold out) my hand but (to one's surprise), she (kiss) me on both sides of my face. She told me that they often (make plans to) visit their friends. When they want to (drop by) their friends' homes, they always call them up. When they attend a party, they should come a little earlier. It is impolite for them to be late for a party.
