My name is Li Hua. I am a seventh-grader. Chinese New Year is my favorite holiday. Last year, my family celebrated it together. We had a big dinner with traditional dishes like dumplings and fish. My father gave me red envelopes with money. I used the money to buy a new bike. We also watched the Spring Festival Gala on TV. It was very funny. My brother and I made fireworks with paper. Although it was not real, it was exciting. I made a New Year’s resolution to study harder. I hope this year will be better than last year. I love Chinese New Year!
