Lunar New Year 2026 – level 1

Lunar New Year 2026

19-02-2026 07:00

2026 is the Year of the Horse. People born this year are active and social. They work hard.

Horses in China mean success and energy. This year is a fire year. Long ago, horses help heroes and leaders in wars. They carry people and change travel. Stories show horses as brave and strong. Today, companies have horses in their logos. Young people use the horse to talk about hard work.

Lunar New Year is a big holiday. Families meet, eat special food, and celebrate together. People all over Asia and other countries join the celebration.

Difficult words: social (when you like to spend time with other people), success (when you reach what you want), brave (not afraid).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What do young people use the horse symbol to represent?
