亮点说明：范文使用了较难的语法知识：时间状语从句Whenever the festival draws near；非限制性定语从句which is relaxing and pleasant和As every Chinese person knows；定语从句和状语从句的使用，给作文增色很多；范文使用了较多的短语：falls on, draws near, make some preparations, take part in, get together, such as等，使文章内容充实；范文还注意使用As every Chinese person knows, In the evening, In some parts of China, On the whole等来衔接前后句和上下文。
