There is an interesting festival in China. On that day, people in some places have dragon boat races. The dragon boat is quite long. The front of the boat is like the head of a dragon. Each team has about thirty members. And there is a man beating the drum(击鼓) on the boat. It's an exitingrace, especially when they are reaching the finishing line. The audience(观众) beside the lake shout for their favouriteTeam. From this match, we have the name of the festival—the Dragon Boat Festival.
