40、tivity. Some of them think grabbing red packets can bring them more fun. It can make it easier for them to get along well with others. The activity brings traditional Chinese culture and modern technology together. However, some students think its a waste of time and money to grab red packets. Moreover, some students spend so much time grabbing red packets that their schoolwork is influenced. I think this activity is really exciting, but we shouldnt spend too much time on it. Schoolwork should come first.
