Online Class Notes (Jesse)

Last Friday was a traditional festival which was Chinese new year . In Hong Kong we celebrate with family and friends so I missed my family very much at that time. I know that this is a very important traditional festival in mainland China . Every one wants back home during the festival and whatever how far away from home .

We invited Ashley who is my cousin and Steven’s friends to have a dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Rhodes. We had a great time with them but the food was not good and expensive so I don’t recommend if my friends wants to go there .

I am a Dragon in the Chinese Zodiac because I was born in the year of the Dragon so wearing some red things for whole year is good luck for me 🙌🏼 and I choose to wear a red hand rope also I wish everyone has a great luck in the Dragon year.
