《English Translation》

李芳: 小美, do you know what kind of holiday the Spring Festival is?
小美: Yes! The Spring Festival is when everyone celebrates the New Year together—it’s very lively!
李芳: Right. During the Spring Festival, people put up Spring Festival couplets to express their wishes for the new year.
小美: I’ve seen red couplets with lots of characters on them!
李芳: Before the Spring Festival, there’s also a very important meal called the New Year’s Eve dinner. The whole family eats together.
小美: I like the New Year’s Eve dinner the most—I can eat with Grandpa and Grandma!
李芳: After the New Year’s Eve dinner, elders also give children lucky money to wish them safe and healthy growth.
小美: I’ve received lucky money too. I say thank you!
李芳: During the Spring Festival, people also pay New Year visits and say blessing words to each other.
小美: Then I want to say ‘Happy New Year’ to everyone too!
