　　【Sample Answer高分答案】

　　Well, there are simply too many traditions in China. However, the only interesting tradition that comes to my mind , right at this moment, is giving Red Packets during Spring Festival.

　　So what exactly is that? Umm....it basically means the lucky money wrapped in a red envelop and given on a " red letter day" like Spring Festival, wedding date, or birthday, to name only a few.　　But why people send lucky money during this special time of the year? There are many reasons behind this, one of which is that Chinese people believe that this " lucky money" can really bring good luck or fortune to those who they love. So they are in the habit of sending it to the friends or relatives who visit them during this festive period.

　　Another reason might be that it is a well-received gift for the receivers as they can use it to buy whatever they like or need. And as far as i know, people, in general, spend a large sum of money celebrating this festive event.

　　For example, they might need to purchase spring couplets, new furniture, expensive food or even treat their family members or friends to a nice dinner. All of these activities involve a high cost.　　Having said that, what's the funny part in this tradition? Well, I guess you can compensate for the cost of these activities with the lucky money you receive! right? So I think it's a good tradition and it should be handed down from generation to generation.
