New Year’s review
Another year has gone by. Every year seems to go by faster than the last one. We had our annual feast at Aunty Joan’s house. She made a wonderful Beijing duck this time.

新年回顾
又是一年过去了。每一年似乎都过得比上一年还快。我们在琼婶婶家吃的年夜饭。这回她做了一道美味可口的北京烤鸭。

Lucky money
I’m so happy toady because I got $3,000 in “Lucky Money.” Grandpa alone gave me $1,000. I must try to save this for college though and not waste it. But I think I’ll allow myself to use part of it to buy a new dress tomorrow and then I’ll put the rest in the bank.

红包
今天我很高兴，因为我拿了三千元的红包。祖父一个人就给了我一千元。我必须尽量存起来以作上大学之用而不去花掉。不过我想我会让自己明天用一部分钱去买件新衣服，然后将其他的钱存到银行里去。

The leap year
As it is a leap year this year which comes once in four years, we have one additional day this month. To those who are born or die on this day, their birthdays or the anniversaries of their death come round only once every four years.

闰年
因为今年是每四年一次的闰年，所以这个月多一天。对那些在这天出生或者死亡的人而言，他们的生日或逝世周年纪念四年才一次。
