Text retelling One possible version: There are all kinds of festivals and celebrations around the world, which are held for different reasons. The ancient festivals were mainly held at these times a year ---the end of the cold winter, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Some festivals are held tp honour the dead or satisfy and please the ancestors in case they might do harm, while other festivals are held to honour famous people or the gods, such as Dragon Boat Festivals and Columbus Day. Harvest and Thanksgiving festivals are happy events because the food is gathered for the winter and because a season of agricultural work is over, to which Mid Autumn Festival belongs. And most energetic and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and the coming of spring,such as the linar New Year, at which people have a very good time. III.
