From this moment on, the temperature drops continuously, and people gradually reduce their outdoor ac-tivities. Farmers have less work in their field, mainly engag-ing themselves in the maintenance of the irrigation system and the prevention of freezing harm to crops to prepare for the spring sowing in the coming year.Chinese have always been attaching so much importance to Winter Solstice that it is regarded as a festival in many places, when people celebrate it in different ways. The people in the north have the custom of eating jiaozi and those in the south the tradition of eating tangyuan.【作文部分】the importance of developing a healthy lifestyle among college students
