Scott has just finished teaching an English class in Taiwan. His best student, Holly, stays behind.
S = Scott, H = Holly
S:	Oh, don't forget that there's no class next week.
H:	Is it canceled because of Mid-Autumn Festival?
S:	Right. It's an important holiday in Taiwan, isn't it?
H:	Yes, it is. It's also called Moon Festival. Are you going to celebrate it?
S:	I don't think so. I heard it's a family holiday, and my family is back in the States.
H:	Why don't you join my family for a barbecue? It's a chance to learn about Taiwanese culture.
S:	I'd love to come! So, what happens for the festival?
H:	Well, it's similar to an American Thanksgiving. Families get together and eat lots of good food.
S:	Really? Do you have pumpkin pie?
H:	No, but we have something that's just as special—mooncakes!

老外過中秋

月餅由來

史考特剛在台灣教完一節英文課。他最厲害的學生荷莉留下來。
史考特：	喔，別忘了下週沒有課喔。
荷莉：	是因為中秋節而取消了嗎？
史考特：	對啊。那在台灣是個重要節日，不是嗎？
荷莉：	是的。它又稱為月節。你要慶祝嗎？
史考特：	我想不會吧。我聽說那是個家庭節日，而我的家人都在美國。
荷莉：	你何不加入我們家人一起烤肉呢？這是個學習台灣文化的機會。
史考特：	我很樂意！那，這個節日會有什麼活動？
荷莉：	喔，它就類似美國的感恩節。一家人會團聚在一起吃很多好吃的食物。
史考特：	真的嗎？你們有南瓜派嗎？
荷莉：	沒有，不過我們有同樣特別的東西：月餅！
