Chinese people celebrate the Lunar New Year. They usually celebrate it on the 16th of February. However, Chinese people in Rome celebrate it early. They hold an early Chinese New Year celebration.

One tourist likes the celebration. He is also surprised. He says that he does not know that people in Italy have this celebration.

This Chinese New Year celebrates the Year of the Dog. The animal comes from the Chinese zodiac.

Difficult words: Lunar New Year (when people celebrate the new year based on the moon), Chinese New Year (when Chinese people celebrate Lunar New Year with dancing music, and other events), the Year of the Dog (Chinese people respect dogs for their loyalty), the Chinese zodiac (people celebrate a different animal each year; there are 12 animals).
