每个人都有自己的“最爱”,想要知道对方最喜爱的是什么可以用What’s your favourite...?来询问。比如询问对方最喜爱一年中的哪一天,应用句子:What’s your favourite day of the year? 你的回答会是什么?The Spring Festival? Children’s Day? My birthday?还是Halloween?大家的回答一定各不相同。但你能说出你最喜爱的这一天或这个节日的原因吗?要回答Why do you like...so much?大家一定也会给出不同的理由。对于the Spring Festival我们也许会回答:The Spring Festival is a very special day. / I like eating dumplings. / I can get a lot of money. / I like visiting my relatives and friends. 对于其它的节日你能说出一些你喜爱的理由吗?

　　还是请大家一起来练习下面的这段对话吧。
