In China family life is usually a little different than family life in America , in China a teenager might live with her parents and grandparents.i lived with my parents and grandparents and my uncle,aunt and three cousins.
It is nice to live with many family members because when many people live together it is lively,and we can help each other.
In a China home,teenagers are expected to do their homework,if a teenager has free time,she might help around the home,but it is not expected.
In my home we have some customs and traditions. Some of them are to take your shoes off, when you come into the house. And to leave offendings of food and drink at the family's altar ,sometimes we pary at this altar, in mid-autumn we celebrate the new moon by eating delicious,new moon cakes. Chinese New Years is a very important tradition. Everyone wears new clothes,a lot of different foods and cooked,and families celebrate together. Children and teenagers get money In a red envelope to bring prosperity. In the New Years,there are many jubilant fireworks.
