I’d like to invite you to join us for visit to the nearby nursing home next Saturday for the Double Ninth Festival. It was the day for the elderly in Chinese culture. First, we’ll meet at the school gate at 9 in the morning, and then took Bus No. 18 together. After arrive there, we’ll make dumpling and cakes with the elderly people. We’ll also spend some fun time together singing, dancing and playing games, that we hope will make them happily. We plan to come back to around 4 in the afternoon. If they are able to go with us, please let us know.

Looking forward to your reply.

Yours ,

I’ve learned of your letter that you want to know about the Double Seventh Festival. Now I’m writing to tell you about it.

The Double Seventh Festival, also know as the Qiqiao Festival, is the most romantic traditional Chinese festival. It falls annual on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month. The festival came from a ancient Chinese romantic fairy tale about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, who has deeply moved generation of Chinese people. Many men and women in the love usually pray for a happy marriage on that night, hoping for a happy ending to his true love. Today, many young couples in China celebrate the Double Seventh Festival in Chinese Valentine’s Day.

I hope my explanation can make you understood our traditional festivals and cultures better.

In your letter, you asked me about traditionally Chinese festivals. Now I would like to tell you something about the most important festival in China- the Spring Festival.

Few days before the festival, houses are cleaned and red couplets are stick. We put on our fancy clothes and setted off firecrackers during the festival. Beside, presents and big dinners are prepared for to celebrate the happy reunion of family and relative. They have dumplings and enjoy the Spring Festival Gala on Lunar New Year’s Eve. Customs may vary from place to place, and the same happy atmosphere is to be found anywhere in the country.

Now, I hope you have some idea of our Spring Festival.

Yours,

I’m very pleasing to invite you to my home to experience the customs and traditions during the coming Spring Festival. Now let me share something about the festival to you.

The Spring Festival, which falls the first day of the first lunar month, is the most importantly festival for all of us Chinese. I have an unforgettable Spring Festival last year. At New Year’s Eve, all my family member got together to have a family reunion dinner, after that we enjoyed the CCTV Spring Festival Gala until the clock struck twelve. Then, singing and laughing, we set off fireworks with my cousins to welcome the New Year’s coming. Are you eager to enjoy such a great happiness with us in China?

I’m looking forward to your coming.

Yours,

Li Hua
