Today is Mid-Autumn Day. A big round moon shines brightly in the sky. The campus is very beautiful. This is the first Mid-Autumn Day for Mr. Green in China. His Chinese friends give him some moon cakes. He enjoys these delicious cakes. But he does not know much about Chinese customs. So he has a few questions to ask: Why do Chinese people have moon cakes on Mid- Autumn Day? What other activities do they have for this special day? Why do so many teachers and students go home to join their families? Mr. Wang tries to help him with all these questions.


Mr. Wang:   Have another moon cake, Mr. Green.
Mr. Green:   OK, thank you, it's very delicious.
                   Well, how do you usually spend Mid-Autumn Day?
Mr. Wang:   We eat moon cakes in the moonlight.
Mr. Green:   What does moon cake symbolize?
Mr. Wang:   It symbolizes a happy family reunion.
Mr. Green:   What else do you do on this day?
Mr. Wang:   We have a big dinner party in the evening.
                   Come and join us this evening, will you?
Mr. Green:   Oh, I'd love to. Thank you very much.
