老师：Unit 2, we have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers arrived in America. Now let's begin our class in Unit 1. Lining and her classmates are talking about the national days of China and the US. Can you still remember how they talk about a holiday? They talk about the name of the holiday, the date, the duration, ways of Celebration, and when the Celebration started. Can we talk about the holiday from other aspects? Of course, today we'll read the passage of our western holiday in more details. Please open your textbook and 10 to page twelve. Look at the picture and answer the questions.
