My Favourite Day - Chinese New Year

 

Chinese New Year is celebrated in many countries around the world. Each new year is named after one of twelve animals. 2010 was the year of the tiger, 2011 the year of the rabbit and 2012 is the year of the dragon.

Listen to a girl telling us about why she likes Chinese New Year, and what she does at this time.
