D
Dear Jane,
Today is the Dragon Boat Festival in China. Do you know this important Chinese festival? It's a festival to remember a great Chinese poet named Qu Yuan.
Now it's 8:30 a. m. and I am in a big park with my Chinese friend Feifei. There are many interesting things happening in the park. I can see many boats on the lake of the park. On every boat, there are some men wearing the same clothes. They are having the boat races. The boats are running very fast and around the lake many people are cheering for them. How exciting!
However, not all the people in the park are watching the boat races. A young father is taking a photo of his beautiful daughter. A young woman is taking a walk with her mother. Under a big tree, some girls are playing games. All of them are having fun. What am I doing now? Can you guess(猜)? While I am writing this email to you, I'm eating zongzi with Feifei. What's zongzi? It's a kind of traditional Chinese food for the Dragon Boat Festival. It's really delicious!
What are you doing now, Jane? Please email and tell me.
Yours,
Judy
