I knew that it would probably be the same at Chinese New Year, so that night I went out to a restaurant with a group of friends. My homestay mother had heard me talking about the red envelope (pocket money given to children at Chinese New Year), so she presented me with a necklace and AU $ 2 wrapped in red. I was very grateful and deeply moved.
中國年的時候，知道會有這種情形發生，所以找了一堆朋友出去吃飯，接待媽媽聽我說過紅包的習俗，還用紅包裝了一條項鍊和兩元澳幣送我，好感動！
