Correction – 

After Chinese New Year, everybody’s belly might be like a ball.
When I was a child, I liked Chinese New Year because I can play with my sister and brother, also my grandmother gave us red envelopes with some money inside.
A few days before the new year, My grandmother needed to buy an abundance of food for dinner, because all of her children will come back to her home for the New Year party.
On New Year’s Day, I can wear my new clothes to my grandmother’s home.
My sister and brother played games, The adults cooked dinner with the food my grandmother bought.
After dinner some people played cards, some of us watched TV. The children lit firecrackers.
But now,the new year isn’t as interesting as before. I liked the New Year in the past more.
