The topic of my presentation is to introduce the Spring Festival in China. My introduction includes three aspects: the Chinese zodiac. The status and the customs of the spring festival.
The first part: The Chinese zodiac, the Chinese usually name an animal for the year. It’s based on a 12-year cycle. Each animal stands for one year. This year is the year of dog. Which animal year is the next year?  The answer is exactly pig.
The second part: the status of the spring festival.
The Spring Festival is a traditional Chinese festival, and it is the most important one of the whole year, which is also called as the Chinese New Year. It just likes Christmas in the West. Strictly speaking, the Spring Festival starts every year in the early days of the 12th lunar month and will last till the mid-1st lunar month of the next year. 
What we usually do in the Spring Festival? Clean our house, making dumplings, visit our friends and give children Lucky Money.
Let’s take a look at the traditional customs of the festival.
Firstly, Before the New Year comes, the people completely clean the indoors and outdoors of their homes as well as their clothes and bedclothes.
Secondly, On the Spring Festival, every household will put on doors a spring couplet written on red paper to give a happy and prosperous feeling of the Festival. The first thing every Chinese does is to burn firecrackers and fireworks, which means saying goodbye to the old year and usher in the new.

Thirdly, Clothing. Red cloth is worn throughout the Spring Festival, because red will scare away evil spirits and bad fortune. People typically wear new clothes from head to toe to symbolize starting a new in the New Year. 
Fourthly, Eating. There are different main courses every day, such as Jiao Zi (dumplings), the spring rolls, the sticky rice cakes and so on.
Lastly, New Year's Visit and Gift Money. On the first day of the Chinese lunar year, people p
ay formal calls on their relatives and friends, wishing them all the luck in the coming year. Juniors will greet seniors, wishing them health, while seniors will give juniors some gift money as a wish for their safety in the coming year.
