Chinese New Year

I read "Chinese New Year" in Mr.Ravin's class.

Chinese calender is difference from ordinary calender.

For example, We think that this year is 2006 but Chinese don't think that this year is 2006.

They think that this year is 4703!!

They clean own house, wash their clothes, cut own hair and put red paint on their front door in Chinese New Year day.

And I always think my born year is ox.

But Chinese think , Rat.

They think Rat year is 1984-1996.

I am interesting it.
