Dear Mario,
Knowing that you are eager to know something about Chinese Spring Festival, I'm writing to tell you something about it.
I love Spring Festival most of all the traditional Chinese festivals. The best part of it is being allowed to stay at home instead of going to school.
Chinese Spring Festival usually falls in January or February every year. It is the most important for Chinese people , meaning the time for the whole family to get together wherever you are working living or studying, chatting and having fun. For children. What is the most exciting and attractive part is to get lucky money from adults and enjoy various food snacks and dishes.
The typical food for Spring Festival includes delicious fish, chicken, pork, vegetables, dumplings and fruits as well as famous local food from every part of China.
Preparations are made a week before the festival. People clean and decorate houses with flowers , spring couplets and Chinese character “ Fu” and buy all kinds of food materials. On New Year's Eve, the whole family let off fireworks and firecrackers . Watching the spring gala is a tradition for the whole family , enjoying the dancing and singing. On the first day of China Spring Festival we stay at home go outing, watch lion and dragon dances. On the second day, we wait for our relatives or pay a visit to them, enjoying the happy time together. Chinese Spring Festival last 15 days, but happiness will never end.
This is Chinese Spring Festival. What about the most traditional festival in your country . Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
