VIP Class Notes (Tibo) [S]

Speaking exercise

We can’t travel abroad so I will plan to travel some nearby places and maybe have some gather with family members.
And I want to meet some friends so I think there will be many events in holidays.
Because our holiday especially the long holiday is a little bit different with other countries because we will shift the routine working days on weekends so the cost of long holidays is longer working weeks.

I don’t like the way to gather the long holiday in the way.
actually we just have 3 days real holiday because another 4 days is our week end.

We have 4 days off in this year because of the lunar calendar the mid autumn festival is in October. it should be the first day of October. sometimes the mid autumn festival will in September.

Some holidays depend on the lunar calendar so it isn’t a fixed day.
I don’t use it except to search for holidays but some people will celebrate their birthday depends on the lunar calendar.
And other some special days in lunar calendars the grandmas have some special events but it is always working days so some ancient customs.
