Festivals Around the World
This term, the English class has been working on a project called 'Festivals Around the World'. Each group chose a festival that they wanted to introduce, and they spent three weeks collecting photos, stories and recipes. The reason why they chose this topic was simple: festivals are the windows through which we can see a culture most clearly. The hall outside the classroom soon became a small museum of world celebrations.
这学期，英语课一直在做一个叫“世界节日巡礼”的项目。每个小组选择了一个想介绍的节日，花三周时间收集照片、故事和食谱。他们选择这个主题的原因很简单：节日是我们最清晰地看到一种文化的窗口。教室外的大厅很快变成了世界庆典的小博物馆。
Han Mei's group studied the Harvest Festival in Ghana, which is celebrated in the autumn. 'It is a day when people thank the land for its gifts,' she explained. 'They wear bright clothes, dance to drums and share food with the whole village.' Her group even made a model of a Ghanaian drum. Jack's group chose the Brazilian Carnival, the festival for which the whole country prepares for months. 'During the carnival, which lasts four days, nobody sleeps!' Jack said with a laugh.
韩梅的小组研究了加纳的丰收节，这个节日在秋天庆祝。“这是人们感谢土地馈赠的日子，”她解释道，“人们穿上鲜艳的衣服，伴着鼓声跳舞，与全村人分享食物。”她的小组还做了一个加纳鼓的模型。杰克的小组选择了巴西狂欢节，那是整个国家要准备几个月的节日。“狂欢节持续四天，期间没有人睡觉！”杰克笑着说。
Li Lei's group introduced the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, whose mooncakes are famous all over the world. They showed the class a video of a family enjoying mooncakes under the full moon, a scene that touched many students. Lily's group, on the other hand, chose the Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival, when friends and families sit under the pink trees and share a picnic. 'The flowers that bloom for only a week teach people to treasure every moment,' Lily said.
李雷的小组介绍了中国的中秋节，它的月饼闻名世界。他们给全班看了一段视频：一家人坐在满月下吃月饼，这个场景打动了许多同学。莉莉的小组则选择了日本樱花节，那是朋友家人在粉色花树下野餐的时节。“只开一周的花教会人们珍惜每一刻，”莉莉说。
When the presentations were over, Cozy asked a surprising question. 'The festivals are very different,' he said. 'But can you find what they share?' The students thought for a while, and then the answers came one by one: food, family, thanks and joy. 'Exactly,' Cozy nodded. 'The clothes, the food and the music are different, but the spirit that connects people is the same. When we understand that, we understand the whole world a little better.'
展示结束后，Cozy 问了一个出人意料的问题。“这些节日各不相同，”他说，“但你们能找到它们的共同点吗？”学生们想了一会儿，然后答案一个接一个地出现：食物、家人、感恩和欢乐。“没错，”Cozy 点头，“衣服、食物和音乐各不相同，但连接人们的精神是相同的。当我们明白这一点，我们就更了解这个世界了。”
At the end of the project, the class held a mini festival of their own. They hung lanterns, played folk music and shared the dishes they had learned about. For one afternoon, the classroom smelled of mooncakes, curry and fresh bread. 'The best way to learn about a culture is to celebrate with it,' Han Mei wrote in her report. Li Lei agreed. Standing among the lanterns, he felt that the whole world was one big family, gathering under the same sky.
项目结束时，全班办了一个属于自己的迷你节日。他们挂起灯笼，播放民间音乐，分享学到的各种美食。整整一个下午，教室里弥漫着月饼、咖喱和新鲜面包的香气。“了解一种文化最好的方式，就是和它一起庆祝，”韩梅在报告里写道。李雷深有同感。站在灯笼中间，他觉得整个世界就是一个大家庭，聚在同一片天空下。
