probably more food is consumed during the new year celebrations than any other time of the year. vast amounts of traditional food is prepared for family and friends, as well as those close to us who have died.
on new year's day, the chinese family will eat a vegetarian dish called jai. although the various ingredients in jai are root vegetables or fibrous vegetables, many people attribute various superstitious aspects to them.
other foods include a whole fish, to represent togetherness and abundance, and a chicken for prosperity. the chicken must be presented with a head, tail and feet to symbolize completeness. noodles should be uncut, as they represent long life.
in south china, the favorite and most typical dishes were nian gao, sweet steamed glutinous rice（糯米）pudding and zong zi
(glutinous rice wrapped up in reed（芦苇）leaves), another popular delicacy.
in the north, steamed-wheat bread (man tou) and small meat dumplings were the preferred food. the tremendous amount of food
prepared at this time was meant to symbolize abundance and wealth for the household.

Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to improve our English writing ability. Compared with other forms of writing， it is shorter and takes less time. It can help us to cultivate the habit of thinking in English. If we persist in his practice， gradually we’ll learn how to express ourselves in English.
In keeping a diary in English， we inevitably run up against a lot of difficulties. In the first place， it often happens that we have trouble finding appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly， there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English properly. Certainly， there are some other roadblocks we may come across in our keeping a diary in English.
As far as I’m concerned， my suggestion is that we should always have a note book and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us， we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for help， if necessary. In short， it is of great use to keep a diary in English for the development of our writing skills.
