Answer

Dear Mr. Smith,

In your letter, you asked me about the Chinese Spring Festival. Now I’d like to tell you something about it.

The Chinese Spring Festival comes on the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, which is usually in late January or February. There is a name for each year, such as the dog, the monkey, the tiger or one of the twelve animals, and this year is the year of the dog.

Before the Spring Festival, the Chinese people usually give their houses a good cleaning and on the eve of the Spring Festival, all the members of a family will get together, eating dumplings, fish and meat and parents may give children some lucky money in red paper. On the first day of the New Year, there are dragon dances and carnivals. People usually go to visit their relatives and friends, which is a good way to express their best wishes to the coming year.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
