大家好,
我的名字是熊大東。
今天，我要說的題目是「冬至吃湯圓。」
臺灣的春夏秋冬有很多不同節日:
春天清明節,要掃墓;
夏天端午節,吃粽子;
秋天過中秋,吃月餅;
冬天是冬至，我最喜歡吃湯圓。

我的太太是日本人。雖然 ,日本冬至不吃湯圓，他們吃「紅豆冬至粥」。

但是，她最愛吃湯圓！我們倆個人「相親相愛，喜歡吃湯圓」。

謝謝大家!

Hello everyone,

My name is Xiong Dadong.

Today, the topic I want to talk about is "Eat rice dumplings during the Winter Solstice."

Taiwan has many different festivals in spring, summer, autumn and winter:

Tomb-sweeping day in spring.

Eating zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival in summer.

Eat moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival in autumn.

Winter is the winter solstice, and I like eating glutinous rice balls the most.

My wife is Japanese. Although Japan does not eat rice balls during the winter solstice, they eat "red bean winter solstice porridge".

However, she loves glutinous rice balls the most! The two of us "love each other and like to eat glutinous rice balls.

Thank you all!
