高一英语作文中秋节（1）：Mid-Autumn Festival

　　This day was also considered as a harvest festival since fruits， vegetables and grain had been harvested by this time and food was abundant. Food offerings were placed on an altar set up in the courtyard. Apples， pears， peaches， grapes， pomegranates（石榴）， melons， oranges and pomelos（柚子） might be seen. Special foods for the festival included moon cakes， cooked taro³（芋头）and water caltrope（菱角）， a type of water chestnut⁴ resembling black buffalo⁵ horns. Some people insisted that cooked taro be included because at the time of creation， taro was the first food discovered at night in the moonlight. Of all these foods， it could not be omitted from the Mid-Autumn Festival.
