Hi, Grace! You weren't online all day. Where have you been?
嗨，格蕾丝！你整天都没在线。你去哪里了？
Hi, Dad. We've been busy. In the morning, we put up Chinese New Year decorations. Li Lin's grandpa wrote "福" (meaning "good luck")on red pieces of paper. I helped to put them on doors and windows.
嗨，爸爸。我们很忙。上午，我们做春节的装饰。李林的爷爷在红纸上写了福字。我帮忙把它们贴在门和窗户上。
Have you learned to write the character?
你学习写这个字了吗？
Oh yes. It's interesting!
哦是的。很有意思！
Then in the afternoon, I helped Li Lin's family prepare the Chinese New Year dinner. It's like our Christmas dinner.
然后下午我帮李林的家人准备春节的晚餐。就像是我们的圣诞晚餐一样。
What have you prepared?
你们准备了什么？
We've prepared fish, tofu, fried meat balls, etc. Every dish has its meaning, like peace, good luck, good health ... And I've learned to make jiaozi!
我们准备了鱼、豆腐、炸肉丸子等等。每道菜都有它的含义，比如和平、好运、健康等等。我还学了包饺子！
Have you tasted the jiaozi you made?
你尝了你自己包的饺子吗？
Oh yeah, they were not bad, although they didn't look as good as the others. In fact, we've just finished dinner. It lasted for three hours!
哦是的，不是那么糟，尽管看起来不如其他的好看。实际上，我们刚吃完晚餐。这顿饭持续了三个小时！
Three hours! What have you eaten?

Lots and lots! And it's not just about eating. The family wished each other, and me, good luck, and we watched TV. Everyone was so happy!
太多太多了！而且不仅仅是吃东西。他们一家人互相祝福，也祝福我好运。我们还看电视。每个人都是那么的开心！
The best thing about Chinese New Year is fireworks. Just before midnight, everyone went outside and millions of fireworks went off together. The sky suddenly became bright and everybody cheered. It was very exciting.
春节最好玩的东西就是烟花。午夜前，人们走到户外，无数的烟花同时爆响。天空突然变得很亮，人们都欢呼雀跃。这非常激动人心。
Have you taken any photos?

Oh, yes, I have. Lots of them ...
