Explanation of difficult points

1. 快……

In this case "快" (kuài) means "soon", it could also be said "快要……" (kuài yào).

2. 过年

"过" (guò) has the same meaning as in Lesson 22 which means "to spend (time)". "年" (nián) literally means "year", but here it is referring to the Spring Festival.

3. 想、想念

In this case, "想" (xiǎng) means "want to do something" or "plan to do something". "想念" (xiǎng niàn) means long to see somebody or something because long time no see.
