In my hometown, there is a tradition that every family would keep—making dumplings. We usually make dumplings on the last day of the lunar calendar and eat them on the New Year’s Eve. We roll the dough into pieces and prepare the stuffing. And then we can make dumplings. There is an important thing need to do in this period. That is we usually put coins into some dumplings. Those people who eat the dumping with a coin in it will get the best wishes for the next year. The final step is boiling the dumplings. At this time, all people are waiting for the dumplings. For us, it’s the best New Year’s Eve dinner.

，在我家鄉，有一個每家每戶都保持的的傳統，那就是包餃子。我們通常會在除夕當天包餃子、吃餃子。我們擀麵皮，準備餃子餡兒。在你的家鄉，你是否過年也需要餃子呢?

星期天上午，我和媽媽來到了阿婆家包餃子。
我看見阿婆準備了我喜歡吃的茭白肉餡和媽媽喜歡吃餓的薺菜肉餡。媽媽從柜子里拿出一個大鐵盤，鋪上了保鮮膜。還端來了一碗水，接著，就開始包餃子了。
我看見媽媽先拿起一張餃子皮，然後用筷子把肉餡夾到餃子皮中間。接著，媽媽用手指蘸了碗裡的水，塗在了餃子皮周圍，對摺了起來，捏了幾下，一個漂亮的餃子完成了。
看媽媽包得很順利，我也躍躍欲試。我拿起了餃子皮，讓媽媽幫我把肉餡夾到皮中央。我也學媽媽用手指蘸了水，塗在皮的周圍，對摺起來，用力一捏。啊!皮都被我涅破了，肉都跑出來了。在媽媽的幫助下，我費了九牛二虎之力，總算包好了一個餃子。
