托福口语：Describe a traditional Chinese festival
Just like you have Christmas in western countries，we Chinese hold spring festival to celebrate our Chinese new year. It takes place on the first day of our lunar calendar，and the most exciting night is the Eve. On the Eve，all families will be sitting around the same table in our grandpas'，feasting，toasting and chit-chatting. We will all be watching TV waiting for the coming of the New Year. At 12 sharp，we Chinese "guonian". "guo" in English means to drive away，and "nian" is the name of a horrible creature in our Chinese fairy tale that visits our land once a year destroying our homes devouring our crops. That's the main reason why we Chinese will let out fire works and crackers. Later on after that，we visit our friends and fellow workers，to send our best regards for the coming New Year. The old will seal money into red pockets making "lucky money" and hand out the kids to make their growing up one year older.
