【答案】Last time you told me you were interested in the Double Ninth Festival and wanted to learn more about it. Now it is my pleasure to tell you something about it.

The Double Ninth Festival, with a long history, is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. To be honest, Chinese people attach great importance to this festival, which often falls on ninth day of ninth Lunar month. It is believed that it is observed to show respect and love for the old. On that day, Chinese people, along with their families and friends, would like to go out for climbing a mountain, admiring the beautiful scenery in autumn. In addition, it is also a custom for people to wear cornel to avoid the bad luck of the year.

In a word, The Double Ninth Festival is very meaningful. I’m sure that you know quiet well about it now.
