traditional in my family—draft 3

Every family has their own traditional custom, and my family has no exception. Every year we has annual leave, and my parents would take us to visit museums, temples, or even other countries. Parents are always so busy with their job in the daily life that we don't have time to get together to talk with. In addition, my older sister works in Taichung, and I study in Tainan. Therefore, we can not keep in touch with each other. Due to the reasons, my parents decide to use the annual leave to visit many places that it can improve our relationship to become closer.

Annual leave is the longest holiday in the year so that we discuss where and when we can go before the holiday's coming. Because of my father's job, we can get cheaper plane tickets. Therefore, we usually visit other countries. We will get more knowledge by traveling. We can also share our happiness and sadness. Besides, we exchange the opinions about some topics we had. It helps bridge our generation gap, and we can communicate with each other. Also, we released the pressure during the trip. Taking a trip is really good for us to enrich our relationship.

All in all, the tradition of my family is a family reunion. Moreover, my parents will took us to travel aboard. We all cherish the seldom happy time because it can improve our relationship. Thus, the traditional custom is very valuable due to its symbolic meaning in my family.
