The last Thursday of November is Thanksgiving Day. It is a holiday in the U. S. A. Usually, family members and friends get together for a dinner. People sometimes drive their cars a long way for a family reunion (团聚). Many people also take Friday off and make it a long weekend holiday, because most Americans do not work on Saturdays and Sundays.
Thanksgiving Day began in 1621, when the first English settlers (定居者) reached the New World. They did not have enough food. But the American Indians helped the white men and taught them how to farm.
In the autumn after the English settlers came to America, they had a good harvest (收获). They were so pleased. They decided to invite their Indian friends to dinner in order to thank them for their help.
As far as family reunion, Thanksgiving Day is even more important than Christmas or New Year’s Eve to most Americans.

Spring Festival
In China Spring Festival is the most important festival. It comes on the first day of the first lunar month (阴历月).
Before Spring Festival comes, people go out to buy things, such as meat, chicken, fish, fruit, sweets and new clothes. They clean their houses and decorate them. The Chinese character fu is a must. It is usually stuck (贴) upside down, which means “fu comes”.
The celebrations (庆祝) begin on the eve of the lunar New Year. The family get together for a big dinner. If a person is far from home, he will always try to get home for this big dinner. After the dinner, the whole family will sit together, chatting (聊天) and watching TV.
During the holidays, they go to visit relatives (亲戚) and friends and exchange New Year greetings. They sit around talking and eating candies, cakes and all kinds of delicious foods. Every family prepares something special. Each child will get money as a New Year gift. People in the north of China often eat dumplings for breakfast. People in the south often eat niangao because niangao means “higher and higher one year after another”.
The celebrations last (持续) 15 days. It will come to an end when the Lantern Festival finishes.

Dear Lucy,
I’m very happy that you are interested in Chinese culture, especially the festival. Now let me first tell you something about Dragon Boat Festival.
Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most important Chinese traditional festivals. It is on the fifth day of the fifth month in Chinese lunar calendar. It is not on the same date every year. Dragon Boat Festival has a long history. It is in the honour of the great ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan. People celebrate the day by holding dragon boat races and eating zongzi.
There are many traditional festivals in China, such as Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. Festivals play an important part in Chinese culture. It is our duty to respect the traditions and make Chinese culture known to the world.
Yours,
Li Hua。
