Question

Dear Harry,

How are you?1.Yes, Chinese festivals are very interesting. I’d like to tell you something about two important festivals.

2.Families will get together at the two festivals.

The Spring Festival is the most important to us of all the festivals. On that day, children will get up early, and then put on their new clothes and greet their parents and grandparents. 3.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is on lunar August 15th. On that day, all families get together to eat mooncakes and enjoy the bright full moon at night. I like the mooncakes so much.

4.It’s the best time for me to show my thanks to my mother. On that day, I usually give her beautiful presents, and help her do some cleaning and washing.

What’s your favorite festival? 5.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Wang Ping
