Original fictional learning scenario. People, dialogue and personal experiences are created for language practice.
Mei invited me to a family meal for Chinese New Year. Before the visit, I asked what I could bring instead of guessing. She suggested fruit and told me that her grandmother enjoyed simple cards.
At the meal, relatives shared stories while younger children showed their drawings. I noticed that some people joined by video call because they lived far away. Mei explained that her family mixed older customs with habits they had developed themselves. I had read about the festival at school, but this evening reminded me that a family's celebration is more personal than a short list of traditions in a textbook.
