What is a mooncake?
2
Mooncakes are chewy, cake -like pastries.
3
They can be small or large,
4
round or square, and can either be filled with sweet or salty fillings.
5
The most common sweet fillings are usually lotus seed paste,
6
red dates, or sweet bean paste coated around a small salted duck egg yolk.
7
Salty filled mooncakes can be made of pork, ham, or Chinese sausage.
8
Nuts are also a common filling.
9
Mooncakes can also be decorated with designs or flower patterns.
10
Some mooncakes have Chinese symbols called characters on them,
11
wishing the receiver harmony, happiness, and longevity. When are mooncakes eaten?
12
The tasty pastry is normally eaten during the mooncake festival, also called the moon festival or the mid -autumn festival.
13
Similar to Thanksgiving, this holiday is celebrated with friends and family in many Asian countries on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month.
14
Lunar means moon, and a lunar calendar is a calendar that is based on the cycles of the moon's phases.
15
The Mooncake Festival is usually celebrated at this time because it is said the moon is at its brightest and fullest.
16
The Mooncake Festival started with the mythical story of Chang 'e.
17
As the legend has it, Chang 'e's husband, an archer named Houyi,
18
heroically shot down nine of ten suns in the sky and was awarded a magic potion of immortality.
19
Since he and his wife did not want to leave each other, they kept the potion in their home for safekeeping.
20
One day, a thief came to steal the potion.
21
In order to not let it get into the wrong hands, Chang 'e drank the elixir, sending her flying to the moon,
22
becoming the moon goddess of immortality.
23
To honor Chang 'e, Houyi began making mooncakes as an offering to his wife, who he missed very much.
24
Many countries celebrate the mooncake festival in their own way, according to their legendary tales.
25
In China, streets may be bustling and lined with brightly lit lanterns.
26
In Vietnam, the holiday is mainly celebrated for children.
27
And in Korea, families give thanks for the harvest and take part in games and dances.
28
All these celebrations have one thing in common, and that is the celebration of the moon with good food.

À propos de cette leçon
Vous vous entraînez en anglais avec "🌕 🥮 What is a Mooncake?" en utilisant la technique du Shadowing.
Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
