One evening in mid December snow began to fall. When we looked out of the window and saw that it was snowing, we all cheered. It was the first snow we had ever seen and we were excited. We could hardly wait for the snow to stop so that we could go out lo play. Next morning when we woke up,it was still snowing. We switched on the radio and learned that more than ten inches of snow had fallen during the night and that since the roads were blocked, there would he no school that day. We jumped up and down for joy and beg mother to let us go outside to play in the snow, She said we could go out after breakfast if we dressed warmly and promised to come back as soon as we felt cold. When we went out, the snow had almost stopped. The roads, paths, gardens, and playgrounds were all hidden under a white blanket of soft snow. It was the most beautiful sight we had ever seen. Just then we saw some neighbours, children coming out to play. We ran over to join them. Together we built a snowman and a snow house. After that, we took turns sliding down a hill on a large piece of carboard. We were having so much fun when supper time came. Mother almost had to force us to go in and eat.

The Spring Festival in China
Every year there is a Spring Festival in China. Usually it is held in January or February. Of all our festivals, the Spring Festival is the most important. So before it comes, everyone has to decorate them. The old folk says that everything must be new and clean for the Spring Festival celebrations so that the new year will bring happiness and good luck. We also buy pork, beef, chicken, fruit and many other things. Parents buy new clothes for their children and children may also buy presents for their parents.
The celebration begins on the eve of the lunar new year, and we put up some New year pictures. On the Festival eve, all the family members come back to their hometown. No matter how far away from home a person is, he will always try to get home in time for this big dinner. We often make a special kind of food called “dumplings”. It means “come together”. When we’re enjoying the meal, we give each other the best wishes for the coming year. We sing, dance and play cards.
On the first day of the holiday, we usually stay at home. We get up fairly early and, first thing, exchange New Year greetings. This is a happy moment for the children; they can get some pocket money. And then we shot off firecrackers and fireworks. We enjoy ourselves very much.
On the second and the third days, we go visiting relatives and friends. We sit around chatting and eating sweets and New Year Cakes and all kinds of delicacies. Each family prepares something special. Sometimes we would see some lion and dragon dancing.
The celebration lasts about 15 days. The 15th night of the first moon in called the Lantern Festival. This is the day when we young people go out to enjoy ourselves, and sometimes we dance folk dances far into the night.

Ruth Mckenney was born in 1911 in Mishawaka, India. She grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and at the age of fourteen she got her first job working nights in a printer’s shop. She also worked as a waitress, but after dropping two fruits salads on the floor, she was fired.
While Miss Mckenney was studying in an Ohio State University, she found an outside job as a reporter for the Columbus Dispatch. In fact, she left college before she got her degree in order to devote all her time to newspaper work. She later worked on papers in Akron, Ohio, and New York City.
In New York, Miss Mckenney began to write stories about the amusing experiences she shared with her sister. These were published in the New York magazine, and later in a book called “My Sister Eileen”. This book was an immediate bestseller, and soon became a hit play. Miss Mckenney has also written a guide to England and a number of serious books on American labor.
