This year, the Moon Festival is before the midterm exams, so I have a lot of homework and academic work to do. I realized that there’s so much to study, and I can’t finish it all — it’s really depressing. I’m very nervous about the first midterm exam in senior high school.

During the Moon Festival, we barbecued indoors and used an indoor grill to cook. Actually, we had a BBQ outside during the Teachers’ Day holiday.

I'm going to talk about my first club last Friday. Our club held an activity due to Halloween. There are students from other schools joining us. Some of the senior brothers and sisters dressed up as ghosts to scare us, and they stayed in different locations in our school. There are nine groups in total. We had to work as a group. Each group had a senior brother or sister. They led us to the designated places to play games. In the process of the games, we were required to use English to interact with. Of course the content of the games are all about English. All ghosts are scary to me. I was scared by every of them during the games.We can take pictures with the people we want eventually. This activity is a big and memorable success to me.

We usually eat mooncakes during the Moon Festival.In the old days, people wrote secret messages on paper and hid them inside mooncakes to send messages about war.Because of this, mooncakes also mean "unity and hope."Some people see the Moon Festival as a kind of Valentine’s Day.Many couples watch the beautiful moon and give mooncakes to express their love.

We had a BBQ this year during the Moon Festival.I really like nian gao(年糕) or foods made with nian gao.I bought some nian gao to grill, but it didn’t turn out like I expected — it was not delicious.So… I think I bought the wrong kind of nian gao; it’s actually the type I should put in hot pot.

My first club class was super fun! In the first period, we got to know our teacher and listened to the introductions from the club officers. The seniors were all really nice and didn’t act superior at all.
In the second period, we played games — lots of mini games from Korean variety shows — and even had punishments, like dancing the “上車舞” dance!
All in all, I really like my club! 💖

I want to talk about the Moon festival this year. We had a barbecue at my grandma's house yesterday! We grilled some food like shrimp, zucchini(櫛瓜) and chicken! My mom also made some drinks for us. Because my cousin's birthday is coming, we ate some cake after the barbecue. It was really fun~

I'm going to talk about my first club last Friday. My club is "綠活化研社".As soon as I walked into the club classroom, I smelled a strong chemical smell and there were a lot of plants in the back of the room. My club class was making "水苔球", and I think I have a talent for it (?. In the end, my dad took it and planted it, and he seemed to like it very much.👍🏻

I want to share about my first club. In this senior high school, I join the basketball club. As I came this club, I felt a little nervous. There's no one that I know here. Leter, we started to train. During the training, I made many mistakes. I was sorry to my teammates. They didn't mind it, so I am relieved. They were so nice. In the break time, they also showed their passion. They invited me, who was lonely. With their passion, I can be myself. I think I will be part of them.

My first club class last Friday.It was very fun and happy.

First period : We introduced ourselves,I was the last one so I was very nervous, but when I standed on the podium,I didn't nervously anymore, maybe I though when I had a presentation at 113 was more nervous than it.

Second period: We ate French fries,and drank bubble "black tea", I was soooo happy that when I saw the drink wasn't bubble "milk tea"Yeahhhhh! And we played the game together ,however we won the game, and we will have a gift next week!!

This year is a very special moon-festival for me.Because this year I stay alone at home it's because my parents they went to 杉林溪 and I want to study for the exam that's why I didn't go with them. Unfortunately 😔,I didn't study good it's because all my neighbors are BBQ and they are playing the fireworks all day long and the childrens are very noisy they are yelling, screaming, playing, it's hard for me to focus on the study.In usually I love moon-festival but this time definitely no.😑🤌🏻🤌🏻

My club is Japanese Research Society. At first the community cadres introduced themselves and told us their interest.Then they divided us into four groups and let us to know each other. I felt awkward because I didn’t know anyone in this group.In the second class we used the Kahoo to answer some questions about Japanese culture and anime.I got a lot of questions wrong because there were some anime I didn’t watch before.However I felt happy in this club.

First impressions.

At the start of the day, before i even started the class, i was dreading it. I was fearful that the club might be very strict considering it's PE related. At the fated hour, i went to the classroom, filled with anxiety. I was afraid, and it was amplified furtherer when i arrived to a classroom with no one inside. I thought i went to the wrong classroom, so i asked someone outside if i got the right place. He confirmed it was the right classroom. Eventually, more people arrived. And as soon as they arrived, they already began operating the equipment like they've done so a million times before. I was still anxious at the time, so i began to question if the club was self operated and I'd have to figure out what i wanted to do. Soon however, the actual teacher arrived, and i was relieved that the teacher was more chill than i expected. Our topic of that day was exercising the abs. Even though that was considered the topic, most people just continued what they were doing. And soon i found myself in front of a treadmill. It seemed like the only piece of equipment people weren't using as much so i operated it myself. I then proceed to spend most of the two classes just running on the treadmill. Not the most interesting experience, but something nonetheless.

I want to share the interesting story of my first guitar club.In the first period, we all made a short self-introduction,but it was too hard for me to remember their names.

In the second period,we went to the first floor to do some fun activities.I think the most fun one was the memory game. If we answered incorrectly, we had to go back and look at the question again,and those questions were all so damn hard! I also made new friends, hope I can learn to play the guitar soon.

The Moon Festival’s on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month—everyone says the moon’s the roundest and brightest that night, totally all about family getting together. You gotta eat mooncakes, right?

# data[].attributes.body
The significance of the Moon Festival lies in celebrating the harvest, expressing the longing for family gathering ,and inheriting culture and family ties.Mooncakes are eaten during the Moon Festival because their round shape symbolizes get-together and perfection. Mooncakes were also offerings to the moon god in ancient times.

One fun fact about the Moon Festival is that people used to hide secret messages inside mooncakes. A long time ago,people wrote notes on small pieces of paper and put them in mooncakes. Because of this story, mooncakes became a symbol of unity and hope.

Bwe no longer use mooncakes to send secret messages, but now we still share them with our family and friends to show love and togetherness. Every time I eat a mooncake, I imagine how exciting it must have been to discover a secret inside!

I chose topic 3 because my first club class last Friday was fun and unforgettable! Last Friday afternoon I had my first English Drama Club class.  The teacher holds a Halloween activity, when we entered the classroom, we saw seniors dressed up costumes and had scary makeup on their faces. I saw an elf, a cowboy, and the ghost bride. Later, we played many games. It's a little bit scary. At the end, everyone can take a photo with which seniors they like. This interesting activity let me look forward to enjoy more activities in English Drama Club!

The Moon Festival, also called the Mid-Autumn Festival, is one of the most important traditional holidays in Asia. It is celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. A fun fact is that people eat mooncakes to symbolize reunion and completeness. Families also enjoy watching the bright full moon together, which represents peace and happiness.

My first club class last Friday wasn’t as good as I thought . The club I chose was the art club , so I expected that our teacher might introduce some paintings or artists in the first club class.However, he just introduced himself to us, and then…nothing!It was a little disappointing for me, but I think it might be better next time.

This year’s Moon Festival was special because my family and I had a barbecue on the rooftop. We watched the bright full moon and shared mooncakes together. Suddenly, fireworks appeared in the sky, making the night even more beautiful and unforgettable.

He feeds some pigs,gooses,and chickens in the farm,so when we had a barbecue, there were some bad smells. In the evening, I went to my grandmother’s house to have a barbecue again,there were many relatives came to have a barbecue together,we had a memorable time then.

Because the Moon Festival happened to be my birthday, my former cram school teacher took me to eat at a high-class barbecue restaurant. It was my first time trying this kind of food, and it was really delicious. The service was also great, but the price was quite high. At the end, my friend even made a cake for me by hand and gave me a big surprise. I was really touched, because I’m usually the one who celebrates other people’s birthdays.

My moon festival was interesting,because I had barbecue and chatted with my junior high school friends. I was happy because we didn’t meet each other too long. I hope next year we can do the same things together.
