Topic 1:
People in my neighbourhood take great pride in observing their traditions and customs. During festivals like the Mid-Autumn Festival and Lunar New Year, families gather to prepare traditional foods such as mooncakes and sticky rice. Children participate in folk games and performances, while elders share stories about the history and meaning of these celebrations. Many households also decorate their homes with flowers, lanterns, and lucky symbols to bring happiness and good fortune. Religious ceremonies are observed at local temples, and neighbors often visit one another to exchange greetings and gifts. These practices not only keep our cultural heritage alive but also strengthen the bonds within the community.
