Everyone in China likes Mid-Autumn Day. It usually comes in September or October. On that day everyone eats mooncakes. A mooncake is a delicious, round cake. It looks like the moon. There are many different kinds of mooncakes. Some have nuts in them, and some have meat or eggs. My friend Li Lei likes mooncakes with meat. But I think the ones with nuts in them are nicer. Han Meimei says the nicest cakes come from Guangdong.At night, families often stay in the open air near their houses. There they look at the moon, and eat the cakes.Mmmm! How delicious they are! 在中国人人喜欢中秋节。中秋节通常在9月或10月份。过节那天大家都吃月饼。月饼是一种味美的圆糕点。它看起来像月亮。月饼的种类很多。有些里面有果仁,有些有肉或蛋。我的朋友李雷喜欢放有肉的月饼。但我认为有果仁的那些更好。韩梅梅说广式月饼最好。晚上很多人家常呆在附近户外。他们赏月,吃月饼。唔!它们(月饼)多好吃呀!
