升学酒 A Celebration for Entering a Higher School

In my hometown, there is a tradition that we will hold a celebration party when we enter a higher school. This summer I will go to high school. So my parents hold a celebration party for me on 25th, August. They invite some of our close relatives to come to our home for a big dinner. It is the tradition that the celebration is for families not friends. So, I don’t invite any of my friends. The dinner is very fancy, which is comparable to the festival dinner. During the dinner time, they will ask me about my school and study, and the give some encouragement to me. Later, when the dinner is going to the end, they will give some money to me for the school expend, inclining that they support me to receive better education. And my parents will appreciate for their contribution. Then the celebration for entering a higher school is closed.

在我家乡有一个传统，那就是当我们升学的时候会办升学酒。今年夏天我就要上高中了。所以我父母八月二十五日的时候帮我办了升学酒。他们邀请了我们一些比较亲的亲戚来我们家吃丰盛的晚餐。升学酒的习俗是邀请家人而不是朋友。所以，我一个朋友都没有邀请。晚餐很丰盛，可以和节日大餐相媲美了。晚饭的时候，他们会问我一些关于我的学校和学习上的事情，并且鼓励我。之后在晚餐将要结束的时候，他们会给我一些钱作为我在学校的花费，表示他们是支持我接受更好的教育的。我的父母会感谢他们的付出。然后升学酒就结束了。
