Dear Mr. Friend,
My name is Simon, and I am in Grade Nine. 1.我非常喜欢足球。 I love watching football, reading about football, and, of course, playing football. However, my love of football has become the cause of my problem.
I always play football with my friends after school. We often play for hours and sometimes we even forget when we should stop. 2. If there is a football match, we will sit watching it. Now I get into trouble because my parents do not allow me to play outside after 6 p.m. Watching football match is also impossible, do not understand why they are so strict with me. 3.我有时候感觉很生气。 I believe it is important to develop our hobbies. They help us relax and make our lives more interesting.
Is it bad to stay out late to play football? Should I spend less time on it? 4. I wonder how I can deal with my trouble. I look forward to your valuable advice.
Best wishes!
Simon Luo

In China, the 12th month of the lunar calendar(阴历) is called Layue. The month is full of interesting festivals and customs.
Laba Festival, which is on the 8th day of Layue, is the first festival in this month. From this day on, people begin to get ready for the Chinese New Year.
On Laba Festival, people eat hot Laba porridge. There are usually eight things in the porridge: rice, red beans, peas, dried lotus seeds, dates, and three different kinds of fruits and nuts. The porridge is not just good for your health, but a blessing for the coming of Chinese New Year.
Laba porridge is not the only tasty food in Layue. Laba garlic(腊八蒜) is popular in the north. People begin to soak garlic in vinegar from that day on, and eat it with dumplings during the Chinese New Year. While in the south, people like making sausages.
Another major celebration before Spring Festival is Xiaonian. It is usually on the 23rd or 24th day of the last lunar month. Traditionally it is an important day when people offer sacrifices to the Kitchen God who looks after the family.
Don't forget to clean your home. This is also an important thing to do to prepare for the Chinese New Year. It means sweeping away the dust of the old year and welcoming a fresh start. Now, the last thing for you to do is to wait for the coming Spring Festival.
