The Spring Festival, or Chinese New Year, falls on the first day of the first lunar month. It is the most important traditional festival in China.
There is a legend about the Spring Festival. Nian, the monster, came out on the last night of every year to eat humans and animals. But people discovered a secret: Nian was afraid of loud noises, bright lights, and the colour red. So people set off fireworks and firecrackers, hung red lanterns, and put Spring Festival couplets on the doors. This way, they could drive away Nian and bring good luck for the coming year.
There are lots of customs for the Spring Festival. People always clean their homes and buy new clothes for a fresh start to the new year. They prepare delicious dishes with care and love. In northern China, almost every family makes dumplings. Many people stay up late on the eve of the Festival and set off firecrackers at midnight for good luck. Parents or grandparents give lucky money to children. People go to temple fairs and watch dragon and lion dances.
The Spring Festival is a wonderful opportunity for family members to gather, enjoy a meal, and celebrate the New Year together!

Adverbials are words or phrases we use to give more information about verbs, adjectives, adverbs or sentences. They often tell how, where, when, or why something happens.
Grammar focus
狀語（Adverbials）
狀語（adverbial，縮寫為adv.）可以用來修飾動詞、形容詞、副詞或整個句子。狀語的位置比較靈活，一般放在句末，有時也可以放在句首或句中。
He runs fast.（fast修飾動詞） She is very beautiful.（very修飾形容詞）
I can read English quite well.（quite修飾副詞well；well修飾動詞read）
Sadly, we could not take part in the activity.（sadly修飾整個句子）
狀語一般用來說明地點、時間、原因、目的、結果、條件、方向、程度、方式和伴隨狀況等，由副詞、分詞（分詞短語）、不定式、介詞短語、名詞等來充當。
1．副詞作狀語，一般可以用來說明時間、地點、程度、方式等。
e.g. He speaks English very well.
2．分詞作狀語，一般可以用來表示時間、原因、結果、方式、伴隨等。
e.g. Seeing its mother, the baby smiled. Moved by his speech, I was at a loss for what to say.
It rained heavily, causing severe flooding in that country.
He earns a living driving a truck.
She sat at the desk reading a newspaper.
注意：分詞或分詞短語作狀語，其邏輯主語通常與句子的主語保持一致，并根據分詞與所修飾的主語在邏輯上的主被動關系來判斷使用現在分詞還是過去分詞。
3．不定式作狀語，用以表示目的的情況較多。
e.g. I visit this city during the holidays to see you.
To get good grades, I study hard every day this term.
4．介詞短語作狀語，一般可以用來表示時間、地點、原因、目的、方式等。
e.g. I go to school after breakfast.
Two years ago, I began to study in this school.
The girl is famous for her intelligence.
He ran for the gift. You can do it by computer.
e.g. We must get together again some day.
You are only one month younger than I. Hold it that way.
5．名詞作狀語，一般可以用來表示時間、方式、程度等。
