If most of you are able to go, then we will go as a group. But if not, as I know some of you have to work, we will celebrate the Moon Festival ourselves in class on Sept 24. We will enjoy moon cakes and read the poem on page 12 of the textbook, which we practiced last Tuesday. And if you can recite the poem, you will get an award – a Chinese to English Dictionary. If you know any poems in your culture describing moon, please bring them in.

Best

Lin Laoshi
