这篇是老师改过的: The special day I would like to talk about is the Mid-autumn Day. It is my favorite day since it gives us an appropriate rest in our fall term, it can unite family together, and on that day we have very special food. To begin with, Mid-autumn Day falls on the August 15th according to lunar calendar, about one month after our fall semester in school. The day is also a public holiday in my country. That is to say, we can have a leisure day. It really helps us relieve the pressure from study. When I began my career in 2004, I felt so upset for losing the traditional summer holidays in university. However, I was surprised that the Mid-autumn Day was waiting for me after a hot summer's arduous work. Because the holiday is in fall, the best season in my city, we always have a lot of activities, such as fishing, climbing and picnics. Thus it brings about more fun than our biggest day Spring Festival, which occurs in winter, when we almost stay at home days and nights. In addition, the holiday is just for three days, so we have enough but not excessive rest. During the big holidays, including Spring Festival, May Labor's day, and Oct National day, seven and even ten days' absence from study and work usually distract our concentration. For example, during the first week after last Spring Festival, my co-workers kept talking about their holidays and families; no one could devote himself to his job. Secondly, Mid-autumn Day is very important because the topic is get-together with family. Chinese are a nation emphasizing family bond, so this holiday is one of our traditional ones with longest history. Every Mid-autumn Day we return to home and have joyful days with family and friends. According to my experience and observation, nearly 90% of people spend this day with family. People sometimes forget their parents, children or spouses due to hard work or social activities. This day reminds us never to sacrifice our own family, life and health to achieve so-called professional accomplishment. Companies SHOULDN'T be our HOME. Many of my colleagues resolve some family conflicts within this day, which proves the significance of this special day. Last but not least, on Mid-autumn Day we can enjoy some special food. My favorite food is moon cake. We normally couldn't eat it except for Mid-autumn Day. All in all, Mid-autumn Day is the holiday especially popular in my eyes. I love it because of the happy and meaningful experience it gives us.
