Let's discover how to talk about traditions and food
Now we are in the month of April and in the West April Fool's Day and Easter is coming up. Whereas, in the East we are expecting the Ching Ming Festival (also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day in English)，setting us in a very different mood.
In this session, we want to talk about how we can have a conversation about traditions and the different kinds of food that we eat when we celebrate holidays home and abroad. I want to start this with some celebration vocabulary. There are many different words we can use in English other than just to "celebrate".
