A: Did you know it's Chinese New Year next week, Tom?

B: No, I didn't. Is it a special time of year?

A: Yes, it's the most important time of the year for most Chinese families.

B: Really? What do you normally do?

A: In Taiwan, a few days before the New Year, we clean the house and decorate the walls with red paper. Then on New Year's Eve, the whole family has a special dinner together, we all stay up until late, and at midnight we set off lots of fireworks to welcome the first day of the New Year.

B: Do you eat any special food?

A: Yes, we eat dishes which will bring good luck in the New Year. After dinner, we often go to the flower market. We buy some flowers and small trees. The trees represent good fortune as well.

B: Fascinating!
