这是我第一次在中国过年,需要准备些什么吗?

This is my first Spring Festival in China. Do I need to prepare anything?

guòjié dōu yīyàng ya , yào dàsǎochú 、 bàn niánhuò 、 mǎi xīnyī 。

过节都一样呀,要大扫除、办年货、买新衣。

It's all the same celebrating the holidays. We should do thorough cleaning, buy New Year's goods, and get some new clothes.

wǒ yǐjīng dǎsǎo hǎo fángjiān le , zhèngzài xiàdān mǎi língshí , jìhuà míngtiān qǜ guàngjiē !

我已经打扫好房间了,正在下单买零食,计划明天去逛街!

I have cleaned the room and am placing an order for snacks. I plan to go shopping tomorrow!

hāhā , kànlái nǐ wànshìjǜbèi , jiùděng guònián la !

哈哈,看来你万事俱备,就等过年啦!

Haha, it seems that everything is ready for you, just waiting for the Spring Festival!
