WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT SOMEONE YOU MEET FOR THE FIRST TIME? PART 1 The first thing I notice is hands. I think the reason why I notice them before everything else is that I strongly believe that each type of hand tells something about you. It's like a sort of introduction (your calling card!) to your life or personality or maybe style. For example, if a hand is covered in warts, you may be someone who works with your hands. If your nails are dirty with soil, you may be a farmer or someone who loves gardening (even though I think that you mostly use gloves when gardening, while if you're a farmer you don't. I'm stating this 'cause I live in a rural area where there are loads of farmers nearby and I can definitely affirm that they mostly work bare hands. There are exceptions, of course!) I split the answer in half. If you're willing to correct me, please look for part 2 too. Thank you!

Speaking of festival, it usually comes with a vacation. Today, I will introduce one of my favourite festivals to you. It is the Dragon Boat Festival which features Zongzi and boat races. In fact, it is around the corner on the Saturday of this week. This special festival has been last for over 2000 years for being in memory of Qu Yuan, the greatest patriotic poet in Chinese history. He suicided by drowning himself in the river after his advise refused by the tyrant. So, most of the activities on that day are on rivers. Meanwhile, people use reed leaves and rice, nuts and sugar to make the tasty food, Zongzi. The reed leaves are natural wrappers, with sweet filling made of rice , nut and sugar inside, after steamed them for half an hour, then everyone can enjoy it. That's the common part of celebrating The Dragon Boat Festival around my country. Different areas has their unique ways to celebrate it. We have another name for this festival called "端午节”. It's a little bit formal. “端(duan)”means frist here, "午(wu)”means fifth here, "节”menas festival. So," 端午节" menas the fifth day of the lunar May, not the second fifth . It shows double five on canlendar. Dragon Boat is just about one of the avticites, is not very good to describe this festival, especial the word "dragon" can easily be misunderstanded by foreign friends. I almost forget to tell you that there is a three days vacation for us to enjoy this festival, it's amazing! Maybe I should plan a short trip during the vacation.
