　　第三个小问题则是“what”类型问题，我们需要按主次或时间线进行回答。

　　- 按主次拆分

　　我们需要先找到该传统要做的核心的事情是什么;除此之外，它额外还需要做哪些事情。

　　比如：新年集市，主要就是逛吃逛吃，同时还可以看各种表演。

　　在这段话里，你接着要拓展的则是和“物品”以及“表演”相关的一些角度。什么类型的物品，价格如何，质量如何等;表演类型，受欢迎程度，观众是哪些人等。

　　Example：

　　The market is a lively place in the city during the festival and you can do various kinds of things. For example, you can try loads of delicious local food and also learn about the history and process of each dish.

　　On top of that, you can also buy some traditional handicrafts, carefully woven baskets 编织篮, hand-made jewelry and so on. They are all high quality, but reasonably priced so people flock to 涌入 buy something they want for the new year.

　　比如：走亲访友，主要就是去亲戚朋友家吃饭聊天，次要就是送礼。

　　在这段话里，你接着可以拓展和“食物”、“聊天内容”以及“礼物”相关的细节。

　　Example ：

　　Actually, when visiting relatives or friends, people prepare a big slap-up meal 大餐 in their homes or at a restaurant. The meal always lasts for many hours. I remember once I visited my uncle’s home, we started lunch at 11 am and then finished at around 6 pm.

　　It was crazy. It is also customary to give gifts to each other. It is common to send health care products and lucky red envelopes, but nowadays the younger generation prefer to receive high tech products and gadgets 小玩意.

　　- 按时间线拆分

　　我们需要先说明过去会做的事情有哪些，接着再阐述目前发生变化的点以及原因。

　　比如：做灯笼，以前每家每户都会自己做然后放到河里或者挂在树上，但现在更多的是从市场上买过来然后放在家里作为装饰物。

　　在这段话里，我们需要拓展的点主要在于“灯笼”。“灯笼”代表着“物品”，为此，我们需要从物品的角度来拓展它。

　　Example：

　　In the past, people always made lanterns at home. Parents would teach the children how to make the frame first and then the children decorated them. Then, they would go out and place the lanterns on the river or hang them from a tree.

　　But now the tradition has changed a lot and because of the environmental damage people seldom put lanterns on the water. Most of the time, people just buy them from the market and then put them up at home as a decoration.
