Nicholas Lee – autobiographical writing
The traditions that was been important to me, is the Chinese New Year’s. It is a time were my family gets together, chat about anything and everything that passes through their minds; they could talk about medicine, philosophy, painting, mountains, what has happened, and absolutely what every cross your mind. During the week in my grandparent’s house, we would also have great food that symbolizes wealth, safety, and other things for example fish symbolizes having extra wealth and dumpling symbolizes wealth. Then our family would gather around the TV and watch as much TV as we possibly can, then sleep. something special about our New Years is that we live beside a mountain, when ever we get the chance to go out, we would hike the mountian for about an hour and a half get home andit would be six, so we would start eating. this has been my tradition for nearly 12 years.

ReplyDeletei like " During the week in my grandparent’s house, we would also have great food that symbolizes wealth, safety, and other things for example fish symbolizes having extra wealth and dumpling symbolizes wealth." good job describing the importance of the specific food. after all, we all celebrate that tradition :). I think you can elaborate more, like what tv shows you and your family watch. i also like "something special about our New Years is that we live beside a mountain, when ever we get the chance to go out, we would hike the mountian for about an hour and a half get home andit would be six, so we would start eating. this has been my tradition for nearly 12 years." healthy good unique habit of yours :)
although we all celebrate this tradition, we have unique ways of celebrating it :) good job xP

I really liked this line because it reminded me of the times when my family and I would gather around and talk about anything from food to tv shows.
"The traditions that was been important to me, is the Chinese New Year’s."
You might want to change 'was' to 'has'. Make 'traditions' singular and remove the comma.
Overall it was very interesting.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite line is ,"During the week in my grandparent’s house, we would also have great food that symbolizes wealth, safety, and other things for example fish symbolizes having extra wealth and dumpling symbolizes wealth" The reason is that this line reminds me of my chinese new years.
I think that this line, " they could talk about medicine, philosophy, painting, mountains, what has happened, and absolutely what every cross your mind" I believe you meant whatever.
I really like your essay! It clearly explains the significance of Chinese New Years to you.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite line in the paragraph is: "During the week in my grandparent’s house, we would also have great food that symbolizes wealth, safety, and other things for example fish symbolizes having extra wealth and dumpling symbolizes wealth. Then our family would gather around the TV and watch as much TV as we possibly can, then sleep." It made me laugh when i saw the TV part. When I read your essay, it makes me think of the Chinese New Year and the moment when i spend time with my family.
Overall, nice job!
