We need to decide what the new holiday will be. I think that the new holiday should be a Peace Day. On this day, no fighting or conflicts are allowed. People learn and talk about peace. The holiday will be celebrated on the second Sunday in January. I think this is the best idea because nothing is more important than peace.,B: Thats a good idea, but I think we should create a Happiness Day instead.

I think that the best way to celebrate is to have dinner at a restaurant and then go singing because we should have some fun. A holiday is a good time to eat together and we all,like singing, so I think this is what we should do. And, if we eat at a restaurant, we dont have to cook or wash dishes. D: I agree that we should have fun, but Im not so sure that going to a restaurant is such a good idea. I think we should stay home and invite our friends and family to dinner. We should spend our holiday at home, with the people we love, not go out to some restaurant. Besides, cooking together is fun and we can make,dumplings and help each other do the dishes. C: Well, I think we should go on a trip to Mt Taishan and go hiking in the mountain. We dont have that many chances to go on a trip, so I think we should go now.

I like the idea of spending the holiday outdoors, but we dont have to travel that far. The buses,and trains are going to be crowded, anyway, and we wont be able to enjoy the trip. Why dont we go to the park and have a picnic. If we have a picnic, we can enjoy a good meal and nature at the same time, and we may meet some interesting people. Its not as expensive as traveling or going to a restaurant, and its more fun than staying at home. B: Well, lets see. I want to go to a restaurant, you want to have dinner at home, you want to go on a trip and you want to have a picnic in the park. So, we all want to eat, right?,Reading,Fast reading,1.
