    As an old Chinese saying goes, Spring Festival comes right after the Laba Festival, so get ready for a bowl of porridge while looking forward to the long-awaited family get-together.

    Today, people across China are celebrating the Laba Festival. It is a traditional Chinese festival. It's on the eighth day of the 12th lunar month. What does this festival mean to Chinese people? It just tells people to prepare for celebrating the coming New Year's Day and forwanderersto return home to get together with their family.

    Long long ago, Laba Festival was a day of thanks for a good harvest. On this day, people usually eat Laba porridge, the porridge with eight kinds of mixed grains (谷物) . Many temples today have the tradition of giving out Laba porridge to the public. The sweet, red porridge is believed to bring luck and joy.

    The festival is also the day for people to put garlic in vinegar (醋) . The garlic turns green, and this Laba garlic will be eaten with dumplings on Chinese New Year's Day. While in the past, it was used to let people remember to pay back the money they had borrowed, as Laba is near the end of the year and "garlic"  (suan, 蒜in Chinese) sounds the same as "calculate" (suan, 算) .

    Customs are quite different across the country. People in Qianxian, east China's Anhui Province, will eat the Laba tofu a few days before. In Xining City, northwest China's Qinghai Province, people will eat porridge with beef and mutton.

    If you love reading books, you must know about the bookTheLittlePrince. It's a famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the best-selling books in history, it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects(方言). Now, around seventy years after the birth of the book, an American director has found a way to make it into a 3D animated film(动画片).

    The book tells the story of a pilot, called The Aviator, who crashes(撞击) into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl, whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly The Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.

    China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions—in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl's life and tells The Little Prince's story at the same time in a beautiful way.

    Huang Lei, who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society.

    "The most touching part is that every one of us was agood-naturedkid like the Little Prince, and it's a pity that this good characteristic(品质) goes away as time flies," he says.

    Speak loud

    When you are not confident, you can't do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak loud enough so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.

    Play sports 

    Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. Astrong body helps you be full of confidence.

    Encourage(鼓励) yourself

    Write down a list(目录) of things you did during the day to see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you've done.

    Get rid of fear

    Fear(恐惧) comes along with failure(失败). But it's easy to overcome (克服) if you know that failure is part of your life. Don't hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better.

    Pick up a hobby

    If you like singing, sing as much as you can.  In some ways, a hobby can make you outstanding(杰出的). And it will make you happy and confident.
