Dear Cindy，

How are you？I had a great time last Tuesday，May 30th，2017.It was a traditional Chinese festival     1     Dragon Boat Festival that day.

This festival is in memory of Qu Yuan，one of the     2     Chinese poets.He killed himself by jumping into the Miluo River on May 5th of the lunar calendar，278 BC.People there rowed the boats     3     him.But it was too late.They were very sad and then threw     4     into the river to feed the fishes so that they would stay away from his body.

    5     then on，every year on this day，people enjoy     6     zongzi which is made of rice with meat，eggs and so on.In the past we ate it only     7     a year，but now we regard it as our daily food.We can have it at any time we like.

Have you ever    8     the dragon boat race on TV？It is another important part of this festival.Several teams row their dragon shaped boats as     9     as they can.The first team to reach the finish line wins.

If you have a plan to visit China next year，would     10     like to spend this festival with us?

Best wishes!

Yours，

Shen
