It is New Year's Eve, and a family is celebrating New Year at home. Two red lanterns hang from the ceiling, and a "福" sign is stuck on the wall. The boy is holding two red packets and looks very happy. There is a lion at the door, and fireworks outside the window.
老师：桌子上有哪些食物？

老师：男孩手里拿着什么？他是怎么得到的？
nán hái shǒu lǐ ná zhe shén me tā shì zěn me dé dào de
What is the boy holding? How did he get them?
范例：他手里拿着两个红包。我想是他向爷爷奶奶拜年以后，爷爷奶奶给他的。

He is holding two red packets. I think Grandpa and Grandma gave them to him after he wished them a happy New Year.

After the lion comes in, what might the family do?

I think they will stand at the side and watch the lion dance, clap their hands, and maybe give the lion a red packet too.

What does your family do at Chinese New Year?

We wear new clothes and visit our relatives to give New Year greetings. The adults give us red packets, and we say lucky wishes, such as "Happy New Year, may all go as you wish."
三、会话 Conversation
情景：新年拿到红包以后，你的表哥说：“我要把所有的钱都拿去买玩具。”
xīn nián ná dào hóng bāo yǐ hòu nǐ de biǎo gē shuō wǒ yào bǎ suǒ yǒu de qián dōu ná qù mǎi wán jù
After getting red packets at New Year, your cousin says, "I'm going to spend all the money on toys."
老师：你觉得表哥的想法好吗？为什么？
nǐ jué de biǎo gē de xiǎng fǎ hǎo ma wèi shén me
Do you think your cousin's idea is good? Why?
范例：我觉得不太好。如果把钱都花完了，以后需要用钱的时候就没有了。我们应该把一部分的钱存起来。
wǒ jué de bú tài hǎo rú guǒ bǎ qián dōu huā wán le yǐ hòu xū yào yòng qián de shí hou jiù méi yǒu le wǒ men yīng gāi bǎ yí bù fen de qián cún qǐ lai
I don't think it is very good. If he spends all the money, he will have none later when he needs it. We should save part of the money.
💡 Give your view first, then use 如果……就…… to show what could happen.
老师：你会怎样用你的红包钱？
nǐ huì zěn yàng yòng nǐ de hóng bāo qián
How would you use your red packet money?
范例：我会把大部分的钱存进银行，再用一小部分买一本我喜欢的书。
wǒ huì bǎ dà bù fen de qián cún jìn yín háng zài yòng yì xiǎo bù fen mǎi yì běn wǒ xǐ huan de shū
I would put most of the money in the bank, and use a small part to buy a book I like.
💡 Use 大部分 and 一小部分 to show how you would split the money.
老师：拜年的时候，我们要注意什么礼貌？
bài nián de shí hou wǒ men yào zhù yì shén me lǐ mào
When giving New Year greetings, what manners should we mind?
范例：我们要先向长辈拜年，说吉祥话。收到红包的时候要用双手接，还要说“谢谢”。也不可以当着长辈的面打开红包。
wǒ men yào xiān xiàng zhǎng bèi bài nián shuō jí xiáng huà shōu dào hóng bāo de shí hou yào yòng shuāng shǒu jiē hái yào shuō xiè xie yě bù kě yǐ dāng zhe zhǎng bèi de miàn dǎ kāi hóng bāo
We should greet the elders first and say lucky wishes. When we receive a red packet, we take it with both hands and say "thank you". We also mustn't open the red packet in front of the elders.
💡 Say the manners in order with 先……, 还要…… and 也不可以…….
