Mid-Autumn Festival--moon cakes


The Mid-Autumn Festival is on 15th of August in Lunar Year. There is a traditional story that tells why people eat moon cakes in this festival.

In 1279-1368, Chinese people were governed by people live in Mongolia. By the Mogo people’s govern, Chinese people likeness to have an abyss of suffering. So, they prepared to revolt on 15th of August in Lunar Year.

They gave some moon cakes that concealed a letter to their comrades. The letter said, "15th August night, kill tartar, welcome personal loyalty." They used this idea, let their china comrades know they would revolt, are they clever?

In the past, moon cakes were made of lotus paste, but now, moon cakes are not only made of lotus paste; they are also made of chocolate, ice-cream……etc.

For me, I only like moon cakes that are made of lotus paste, because it’s about our Chinese history.

Grammer

Today, I learnt know to use "where" to make sentense :
e.g. The flat (thing you want to talk) where people live (show clearly the thing)was very dark(describe it).
In there , you can see 2 sentenses:
a.People lived a flat.
b.It was very dark.
*So, we can use"where" to add information about a place.
