In 2050 we will still celebrate most of the same festivals as people celebrate now, and for us Chinese people the most important festival is still Spring Festival. People sometimes call Spring Festival “Luna New Year.” “Lunar” means “something to do with the moon,” and you will never guess where I will spend the “Lunar New Year” in 2050---I want to spend it on the moon!
In autumn，2049，Mc Donald’s(Yes，we still have Mc Donald’s in 2049!) will hold a competition to celebrate the opening of their first branch(分部) on the moon．The first prize is a trip to the moon for the winner and his or her family. The winner will be allowed to choose when to take the trip. Lucki1y，I win the prize ! I decide to go at Spring Festival．
