Chapter 1 The Best Time of the Year!
My name is Max. I am getting ready for the Chinese New Year.I will celebrate it with my family.
"This is the best time of the year!" says my brother Lee.
"I've been looking forward to this," I say.
Lee is older than I am. He's fourteen.Mostly, we get along. Lee hasn't been here much this week.
"He's very busy," says Granddad.
Granddad grew up in China. His first language is Mandarin.He's teaching me to speak it. I love to hear Granddad tell stories.
Our family is busy this week!Aunt Lin and Mom made a list of things to do.First, we must clean the house.
"We have to sweep away the old year," says Mom."Then we can start the new one."
List : 1Clean the house. 2Plan the feast. 3Go shopping. 4Cook the feast
I share a bedroom with Lee. "Our room is already clean," I tell Mom.
"It is clean," she says. "But it must be spotless for the New Year."
"Lee should help," I say.
But Lee is not at home.
"He's got other things to do today," said Mom."He has to practice." "For what?" I asked.
"You'll see," said Mom. So I cleaned our room by myself, which didn't seem fair.
Chapter 2 Getting Ready for the Feast
We have been cooking all week.Yesterday, I helped Aunt Lin make some taro cakes and sweets.
"You can help us today too," Mom says. She knows I love cooking.
