3逐步讲解 Steps
- 中国的节日主要的中国节日有 Spring Festival（农历新年）、Mid-Autumn Festival（中秋节）、Dragon Boat Festival（端午节）。例句：Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. 要注意节日名称的每个主要单词都要大写，通常带 Festival 一词；说在某个节日做某事用 at，例如 at Spring Festival；说节日在几月则用 in，例如 in September or October，两个介词不能混淆。
- 西方的节日常见的西方节日有 Christmas（圣诞节）、Easter（复活节）、Halloween（万圣节前夕）。例句：People give presents to each other at Christmas. 要注意 Christmas 前用 at，例如 at Christmas，但指具体某一天用 on，例如 on Christmas Day；节日名称同样要大写首字母；Easter 与 Halloween 前面通常不加冠词，直接说 at Easter、at Halloween 即可。
- 节日食物不同节日有不同的传统食物：mooncake（月饼）、zongzi（粽子）、turkey（火鸡）以及 chocolate eggs（巧克力蛋）。例句：People eat mooncakes at Mid-Autumn Festival. 要注意 mooncake 是可数名词，复数加 s；zongzi 是音译词，单复数同形，可以说 two zongzi；turkey 指整只火鸡时是可数名词，作餐桌上的肉时不可数，例如 We ate turkey for dinner.
- 节日活动节日的常见活动有 give gifts（送礼物）、have a family dinner（吃团圆饭）、watch a parade（看巡游）以及 visit relatives（探访亲戚）。例句：We have a big family dinner at Spring Festival. 要注意 have a family dinner 中间的冠词 a 不能省略；watch 与 look at 不同，watch 强调观看移动或变化的事物，例如 watch a parade、watch fireworks，动词搭配要准确。
- 节日配食物节日与食物、习俗的搭配要记牢：Spring Festival 与 red packets（红包）搭配；Mid-Autumn 与 mooncakes 搭配；Dragon Boat 与 zongzi 搭配；Christmas 与 turkey 搭配。例句：At Mid-Autumn Festival, people eat mooncakes and watch the full moon. 要注意这些搭配反映文化习俗，问答与写作都常用；搭配错了会让读者误解节日，记忆时可以把节日与食物成对背诵。
- 习俗用现在式描述节日习俗用一般现在式，因为习俗是每年重复的事实。例如：People eat mooncakes and watch the moon at Mid-Autumn Festival. 主语 people 是复数，动词用原形。要注意如果说某一年亲身经历的事，就要转用过去式，例如 Last year, I ate mooncakes with my family. 习惯与经历的时态要分清楚：every year 这类时间词配现在式，last year 配过去式，写作时按时间词判断。
5例题示范 Example
问题：怎样从时间、活动与食物三方面介绍一个节日？
- 第一步：先说明节日的时间，用月份或季节交代，例如：Mid-Autumn Festival is in September or October.
- 第二步：描述人们在节日进行的活动，用一般现在式讲习俗，例如：People watch the full moon with their families.
- 第三步：说明节日的传统食物，例如：They eat mooncakes. 还可以补充食物的味道或外形，使描述更具体。
- 第四步：加入自己某一次的亲身经历，这里要转用过去式，例如：Last year, I ate mooncakes with my family in the park.
- 第五步：以感受收结，概括这个节日的气氛，例如：It is a warm and happy festival.
- 答案：示范答案：Mid-Autumn Festival is in September or October. People watch the full moon and eat mooncakes with their families. Last year, I ate mooncakes in the park with my family. It is a warm and happy festival.
