Fluency Ex #3

My country is South Korea. There is a big holiday in fall similar to Thanksgiving day in the U.S. It is called "Chu-sok" in Korea. It symbolizes thanks for the harvest. During this holiday, first, we usually hang out with all of our relatives and play traditional games. A tug-of-war is one of the traditional games. In this game, people pull a rope from each side. However, today people usually just hang out with relatives and talk a lot. Next, we prepare special food for ancestor-memorial service but we actually eat all of the food. These foods are very delicious because there are many tradtional foods. "Songpyun" is one of the traditional foods. It is made up of rice. Finally, many people visit their family graves at that time. When they go to their family grave, they bow and set the table for their ancestors.
