Answer

Dear John,

I’m writing to tell you something about Chinese Character Writing Day in our city.

With the popularity of mobile phones, computers and the Internet, many people have few opportunities to write in daily life. Consequently, people tend to forget how to write Chinese characters when they have to. Therefore, a special day is needed to arouse people’s interest in Chinese characters and encourage people to write them more often. Moreover, it’s a good way to keep our traditional culture alive.

Now September 28th is chosen as Chinese Character Writing Day, for it is the birthday of Confucius. Various activities will be held that day, such as handwriting contests and exhibitions of calligraphy, through which people can enjoy the beauty of the Chinese language and experience a culture of amazing depth and variety as well.

You are welcome to join us.

Yours,
