Dear Jack,
Do you know a Chinese traditional Festival is drawing near? The Dragon Boat Festival! Also known as Duanwu Festival, it falls on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the lunar calendar. It was created in honor of a patriotic poet Qu Yuan, who devoted himself to the people but was unfairly treated by the unwise king. Hopeless and angry, he drowned himself to prove his love to his motherland.
Nowadays, the festival is observed by dragon boat races and eating Zongzi. By celebrating it, we follow the trace of the ancestors. And we can also get together with our families. Have you got any idea of this traditional festival?
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Peter,
How is everything going? Thrilled to know that you show a keen interest in the Dragon Boat Race, I’m writing to tell you something about this activity.
Held on June 7, the annual Dragon Boat Race is one of the most important activities in our city. There will be ten teams competing for the champion this year. The race particularly emphasizes cooperation, which means team members should be united. The dragon boat arriving at the finishing line first will win the first place.
Not only can this great race celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, but also it can spread the traditional Chinese culture. Why not watch the race with me? I’m sure we’ll have a good time.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
