1 It has been a few years since I moved to this neighbourhood.

Topic 1: Write a paragraph (100 - 120 words) about how people in your neighbourhood observe their traditions and customs. 

In my neighbourhood, traditions and customs are cherished and passed down through generations. During important festivals like Lunar New Year, families clean and decorate their homes with peach blossoms and red couplets to welcome good luck. On special days, we gather to prepare traditional dishes such as sticky rice cakes and offer them to our ancestors at the family altar. Weddings and funerals are also conducted with great respect for cultural rituals, often accompanied by traditional music and attire. Neighbours visit each other to exchange greetings, share food, and strengthen community bonds. These customs not only preserve our cultural identity but also bring warmth, unity, and joy to everyone in the neighbourhood.
