Hi, Mona,
Thanks for your email of April 17th. These days I'm in Beijing, China, and I'm having a good time here. Are you happy at home in the US too?
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(诗人) named Qu Yuan. Now it's 8:30 a.m., and I'm in a big park with my Chinese friend Meimei. 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. What are they doing? They are having the boat race. 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 race. 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!
Guess what I am doing now. While I'm writing to you, I'm eating zongzi with Meimei. 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, Mona? Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

What's Happening in Different Time Zones?
The world is divided(分成) into 24 time zones. Each zone usually covers about 15 degrees(度) of the earth's surface. These time zones help us know the time as the earth rotates(地球自转). When it is noon in one place, it might be midnight in another. Let's see what's happening in different time zones around the world at 3:00 p.m. in New York City(Eastern Standard Time, EST).
• New York City, USA(EST)—3:00 p.m.
In New York City, some people are working. Students are still at school, and some after-school activities are just beginning.

• Sydney, Australia(AEST)—6:00 a.m.
