Jay, how were your New Year's celebrations?
I celebrated with my host family, since I didn't go home. It's a long way from here to Beijing.
Did you have a good time with your host family?
Yeah, it was fun sharing our stories. What did you do to celebrate New Years?
Each family is different, I think. But one of my family traditions is the Rose Bowl and the Rose Parade.
Wait, what's the Rose Bowl? And what's the Rose Parade?
Well, the Rose Bowl is an annual american college football game, usually played on January first. The Rose Parade is held on the same day unless New Year falls on a Sunday.
Then, anything fun?
