①
The fifth day of lunar Chinese New Year is the birthday of the Chinese God of Wealth, who is probably the most sought after deity.Money-starved followers gather in a temple to pay respect to the God of Wealth on his birthday, praying for wealth and good luck. Wealthy disciples pay extra to be closer to the God of Wealth. Monks hold a special ceremony for wealthy donors, prior to the ceremony for the masses. See, MONEY gets you closer to the God of Wealth! At the end of the ceremony, the chief monk will spray sacred water toward the waiting crowd.

It is good to have been away from computer and the Internet for nearly a week, for I have more time to do other things,and thinking without the help of computers makes me at ease.
③
I have been given many red packets for the lunar new year. Honestly speaking, when I became older and older, I was just not feeling that comfortable to receive those money. How I wish I could make money myself soon.
④
Recently, I will keep on memorizing and reviewing CET-6 words. Reading, debating will also be my main tasks before I go back to campus.
⑤
This winter vacation is ending soon, but I won’t let it go easily.
