Dear Tom,
My favorite Chinese festival is the Spring Festival. It is celebrated on the first day of the Chinese lunar calendar.
Before the festival, our houses have to be cleaned and we need to buy new clothes for a new year’s coming.
On the eve, my family goes to my grandparents’ home for a reunion dinner. Our family usually has jiaozi, fish, niangao and a great many dishes.
On the first day of our New Year, people wear their new clothes and visit family and friends. Children will receive red packets filled with “lucky” money. That’s one of my favorite parts of this festival. It’s my favorite festival because I enjoy spending time with my relatives. It makes me feel very happy and loved to be with my family! How about the festivals in your country? I hope to learn about them. I’m looking forward to your reply. Yours truly, Mei Li
春节
