Dear Lisa,
How's it going back in America? I'm having a good time in China. I am in the sports club at school this year. We're taking classes to learn the lion dance.

The lion dance has a history of over 2,000 years. People in China usually perform（表演）the lion dance during the Spring Festival. They think the lion dance can drive away bad luck and bring good luck for the new year.
There are usually two people in the dance. One is the head and the other is the tail（尾巴）. It takes a lot of practice to work as a team and learn the steps（步伐）together! I'm learning to dance as the head. It's not easy for me to remember all the steps. But I enjoy the lion dance and I'm trying my best. Next month, we will perform at our school's art festival. It's really great, right?
Yours,
Sarah
