WARM DAY!!

The Leon’s holiday: Warm Day

Leon’s holiday could be in October. At that time in Taiwan it is winter and this season is his favourite.

The celebrations include, eating, drinking and singing karaoke because it’s enjoyable. The name for that day will be “warm”; on that day people would eat special food called “mut hot pot”. A mutton hot pot for dinner is a typical winter dish. Mutton hot pot also includes traditional Chinese medicine. Eating Mutton hot pot can nourish people’s vitality.


Warm Day is special because it is a day to celebrate and share with the family.

This is a story about two sisters preparing a surprise party for their husbands…

Lucy is a women. She is 40 years old. She is married to Harry and today is Harry’s birthday. She wants to cook a special dinner for him. Lucy decided to call her sister because she remembered that her sister’s husband has a birthday too.

Lucy: Hi Mary, what are you doing tonight for your husband’s birthday?
Mary: I’m not sure maybe I will cook a cake
Lucy: What do you think if we both go to the market place and buy some vegetables for dinner and make a special meal.
Mary: Sure, I’d like to.
Lucy: Ok, meet me in the market place
Mary: Ok see you later

Minutes later… in the Market place

Lucy: Hi Mary, I know an old woman who sells good vegetables in this market. Let’s go there!
Mary: Ok, but does she sell expensive vegetables?
Lucy: so, so, but she knows me and she gives me a good price. Come on.
Mary: Ok, if it is too expensive you pay

(Both sister they are wearing long dresses, their dress colours are purple with red, both have long hair .)


Lucy: Hi, Matilda how do you feel?
Matilda: Good, but it’s been a difficult day today because the sales are not good.
Lucy: It’s ok, because we have arrived and we will buy many vegetables today for our dinner. It is our husbands’ birthdays today, and… I really want you to give us a good price today.
Matilda: Let me see (she laughs)

( The salesperson Matilda, she has white hair, she is wearing a purple cardigan and a long skirt red and brown skirt. She is sitting on the floor and she is showing her vegetables to the sisters)


Lucy: Ok, these vegetables are really good what do you think Mary?
Mary: They are very good! I think that with those vegetable we will be able to cook a good dinner for our husbands. It’s better to buy right now and hurry home to cook.
Lucy: Ok, Matilda we will buy these vegetables.

They are going to cook dinner because their husbands will be back at 7:00 pm and they want their special meal to be prepared for them as a surprise.
