Listening Listen to this conversation between Chen Bin and his American friend, Joey. What is the main topic of their conversation. Easter customs include making and eating hot cross buns, colouring and searching for eggs supposedly hidden by the Easter Bunny and decorating with lilies. Easter CHEN BIN：Hey，Joey! I was watching a movie last night that showed some people celebrating Easter. What is Easter？ JOEY: Oh, Easter is the holiday every spring when Christians around the world celebrate Jesus coming back to life from the dead. CHEN BIN: Coming back to life? JOEY: Yes, it’s a famous story in the Bible about Jesus. Easter is always celebrated on a Sunday. It’s said that Jesus rose from the dead on a Sunday. People will often go to church on Easter Sunday to sing songs and hear about Jesus. CHEN BIN: I saw in the movie that a mother was making little cakes with Xs on them. JOEY: Oh Yes. Those are “hot cross buns”. The cross on the bun is to remind people how Jesus died. CHEN BIN:I remember last year on Easter you gave me an egg that was painted many different colours. Why do you colour eggs on Eater? JOEY: That’s mostly an American tradition. Children will colour the eggs before Easter. Early on Easter morning, parents will hide the eggs inside the house or outside in the garden. Then when the children wake up, they try to find the eggs. The parents often say that the eggs were left by the Easter bunny. CHEN BIN: The Easter bunny? What do eggs and bunnies have to do with Jesus?
