The traditional festival that I like most
My favourite Chinese traditional festival is the Spring Festival. It comes on the first day of the Chinese lunar new year.
Before the festival, my family always do a big cleaning to sweep away bad luck. On New Year's Eve, we get together to have a big dinner, and watch the Spring Gala on TV. We also let off fireworks at night. My grandparents and parents will give me red packets with their best wishes.
I love the Spring Festival so much. It lets me feel the warm love from my family, and I can learn a lot about our traditional Chinese culture from it.

Dear Molly,
How are you doing these days? I'm glad that you are interested in Chinese culture. As we all know, the Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most important traditional Chinese festivals. It falls on the 5th day of the 5th month in the Chinese lunar calendar.
The festival is celebrated to remember the great ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan. On that day, people usually get together with their family to eat zongzi and other delicious food. In southern parts of China, people often have dragon boat races. It is so exciting to watch the races. Besides, we also have a 3-day holiday during the festival. So we can take a short trip to relax and spend time with our family.
How interesting the Dragon Boat Festival is! I like it very much.
Yours,
Xinyue
