Dear Michael,
How's your vacation? I'm visiting my uncle in Spain. He lives in the sunny and beautiful city of Valencia, in Spain.
Yesterday, I had great fun. My uncle took me to the Tomato Festival in Bunol, which is just 30 miles away from where my uncle lives. You have probably never heard of this festival before. Neither had I. The Tomato Festival is called "La Tomatina" in Spanish. It was the biggest and messiest (脏的) tomato fight in the world. When we first got to the square where the festival took place, it was very crowded with people from all around the world, and many trucks were carrying tomatoes. My uncle told me the crowded people here were around 38,000 and this was more than four times the population of Bunol.
The tomato fight started as soon as the first banger was beaten. Then everyone including me started throwing tomatoes at each other. I took red tomatoes and threw them at anyone that ran, moved, bent down, or turned around. Tomatoes must be squashed before people threw them in order not to hurt anybody.
After a little while, the streets, people and nearby buildings were splashed with red. There was no winner in this fight, but we all had fun. As soon as a second banger was beaten, people stopped throwing.
I really had a great time, I wish you were here, too. I hope I hear from you soon. Take care.
With love,
From Spain

When it comes to thanksgiving, a turkey may be the first thing that comes to mind. Celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November every year, it is a time to express your thanks to important people and all the good things in your life. Americans celebrate Thanksgiving with many traditions. Here we introduce several ones Americans usually follow that day.
Time for prayers (祈祷) and paying back
Before Thanksgiving meals, some families gather together and read prayers to thank God for his kindness and the gifts they have got from their friends and family members. Some people also do voluntary work that day─as a way of paying back. Family reunions (团聚)
Like C hina’s Spring Festival, preparing a big meal and bringing the family together at home is a long-standing tradition of thanksgiving.
Parades bring nation together
Parades make the day a good time for the whole nation. Various parades are held in many cities.
Football games as the highlight (最吸引人的东西) of the day
The American National Football League has played a special game on Thanksgiving every year since its creation in 1920.
Big day of discounts (打折)
Like Chinese people’s shopping online on November 11, Americans also enjoy doing this just after Thanksgiving. It is quite normal to see lots of people standing in front of shops in a long line the next morning of Thanksgiving.
6. ______ may be a must for Thanksgiving.
A. A turkey

Dear Jack,
How are you? You said that you wanted to know something about Chinese festivals. Now let me begin with the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of harvest. On the evening of it, we usually sit around a table outside and enjoy the beautiful moon. The moon looks brighter and brighter. On that day many families have a big dinner. We also eat mooncakes and fruit. I hope you can come and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with us next year.
Best wishes to you!
Yours, Zhang Li。
