“Family” weights a lot in Chinese. We can see the theme of “family” in many 【1】 (tradition) festivals, such as Lunar New Year, the Double Ninth Festival 【2】 the Mid-Autumn Festival. When is the 【3】 (good) time for us to enjoy the bright and full moon in a year? Of course, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the most important festivals in China. We look at the moon, eat moon cakes, and get together 【4】 our families.

The moon, the key part of the festival, is special to most Chinese people. We enjoy and admire it. We use the round moon 【5】 (describe) reunion (团聚), that is, get together. Our respect to the moon dates back to ancient times. The story of Chang’e is the most famous one about the moon. Many Chinese 【6】 (poet) connect the moon with homesickness. For example, “Beside my bed a pool of light. Is it hoarfrost on the ground?” from Jing Ye Si by poet Li Bai in Tang Dynasty. Today, the moon is still important to Chinese people. The Miao minority (少数民族) in Guizhou province has 【7】 special custom. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, young people dance under the moon to find 【8】 (they) other half.

However, Western people see the moon 【9】 (different). In some stories, the full moon is somewhat frightened to people. The most well-known story is the werewolf (狼人). A werewolf usually looks like a human, but 【10】 (change) into a wolf-like creature when there is a full moon. Also, if someone is very excited or even crazy about something, others may joke, “It must be a full moon.”
