Are their celebrations similar to ours? Which color they see as a dominant one? Whydo they think this color is important to them?" * Give instructions to Ss to read the statements about CNY and decide whether the sentences are true or false.T goes through an example by saying "New Year's Eve is on 31st of December. True or false? True. We have a special parade for New Year's e Eve in our country.True or False? False. Hand out the worksheet and let Ss work in pairs for this activity.
