I've been in London for two months now. The fact that it is a big commercial city, as well as the cultural centre, fascínates me. |
|
But there's the old saying that "home is the best place in the world". It is true. I begin to miss my relatives and friends in Hong Kong. |
|
My mother wrote to me recently, and said I would miss this year's Autumn Festival. Yes, the thing which I won't like to miss in Hong Kong is all the Chínese festivals. These festivals are based on customs and beliefs up to two thousand years old. |
|
The biggest festival of all, just like many countries, is the New Year Festival. Children are especially happy on this occasion. On New Year Day, they are given lucky money in red envelopes. They have plenty of food to eat, and follow their parents to visit all the relatives. People also exchange presents. |
|
From New Year Day onward, for fifteen days, when people meet in the street or at home, they would wish each other prosperity with the words "Gong hei fat choi". |
|
Although in many ways Hong Kong is a westernized place, she still keeps all the old Chínese customs. |

Acerca del Lenguaje |
|
1)
Observa el refrán que cita la oradora: Home is the best
place in the world. Es muy similar a otros refranes que probablemente ya has
estudiando en nuestro portal como, por ejemplo, Home is where the heart is,
There's no place like
home y East, west, home is best. |

Acerca de la Pronunciación |
|
En el inglés de Hong Kong (y en el de
otros países sudasiáticos cuya base
es una lengua china) se da la misma tendencia observada en relación con el
inglés de la India: el ritmo siempre está marcado por el tiempo de
duración de una sílaba y no por la posición del acento. |

/æz/ en lugar de /əz/ |
