Discussion: 1.Which is your favourite festival? What do we do for the festival?

Double Ninth Festival is the traditional(传统的) ChongyangFestival, “Chong” in Chinese means”double”.Also, as double ninth was pronounced（发音） the same as the word “forever”,in Chinese “JiuJiu”. People can climb the hills, the mountains and the towers(塔).On this day, people eat Double Ninth Gao. In Chinese, Gao（糕） has the same pronunciation with gao(高). People do this just to hope they can do better in everything. In 1989, the Chinese government（政府） made it Seniors‘ Day（老人节）. So today, it’s also a festival for the old .It means we should do something for old people,we should be polite and helpful to the old. Young people can buy presents for old people and love old people.
