Hello! My name is Tao Yi jun. I am from Class1, Grade4. I like English and I read English a lot every day. Today, let me talk about The Double Ninth Festival.

大家好！我是陶奕君，來自四年級一班。我喜歡英語并且每天都讀大量的英語。今天，讓我來跟大家談?wù)勚仃柟?jié)。?

The double ninth festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth month on the Chinese lunar calendar .

重陽節(jié)在中國農(nóng)歷的九月初九。

In Chinese folklore , the number nine is the largest number . It 's a homonym to the Chinese word jiu , which contains the meaning of “ a long and healthy life ”.

在中國的民間傳說中，數(shù)字九是最大的數(shù)字，它是中文中九的同音詞，包含了又長又健康的生活的意義。

In ancient times , it was customary to climb mountains to pray for good luck and longevity on the double ninth festival .

在古代，在重陽節(jié)時為了好運(yùn)和長壽習(xí)慣去登山祈禱。

Nowadays , the custom of climbing mountains for blessings on the double ninth festival has gradualy merged with some outdoor exercises .

現(xiàn)在,在重陽節(jié)去登山祈禱的習(xí)俗逐漸地和一些戶外的鍛煉相結(jié)合。

In ancient times , people also would admire the beauty of chrysanthemums , drink wine and eat Chong yang cakes on the day .

在古代，人們在這天也會賞菊、喝酒和吃重陽糕。

Although people today don't observe all the traditional customs for the double ninth festiva . It's still the core of the festival to respect the elders .

盡管人們現(xiàn)在不會在重陽節(jié)遵照所有的傳統(tǒng)習(xí)俗。這個節(jié)日的核心依然是尊重老人。

Thanks to social care from their surroundings and love from their families , a growing number of seniors have begun to pay more attention to their later years . In recent years , travel has become a very popular way for senior Chinese people to spend their leisure time.

還好有來自他們周圍的社會關(guān)心以及家人們的愛，越來越多的老人開始更加注意他們以后的生活。最近幾年，旅游變成了非常受歡迎的方式對于中國的老年人去度過他們的空閑時間。
