五、写作题（20分）
30. 假设你是李华，你的英国朋友Tom对中国的传统节日春节非常感兴趣。

请你给他写一封邮件，介绍春节的习俗和活动，并邀请他来中国一起庆祝春节。

Dear Tom,
I hope this email finds you well. I know you've been interested in Chinese traditional festivals, and I thought it would be a great idea to share with you some insights about the Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year.
The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China, marking the beginning of a new year on the lunar calendar. It is a time for family reunions, and people travel from all over the country to be with their loved ones. The festival is usually celebrated for 15 days, starting from the Chinese New Year's Eve.
During this period, various customs and activities are observed. One of the most significant is the cleaning of houses to sweep away any bad luck and to make way for incoming good fortune. People also decorate their homes with red lanterns and couplets, which symbolize happiness and prosperity.
On New Year's Eve, families gather for a feast, which includes a variety of dishes such as dumplings, representing wealth and luck, and fish, signifying abundance. After dinner, it is common to stay up late, or "shousui," to welcome the New Year.
Fireworks and firecrackers are set off throughout the festival, especially at midnight on New Year's Eve, to drive away evil spirits and to celebrate the coming year.
I would be delighted if you could join us in China to experience the Spring Festival firsthand. It would be a wonderful opportunity for you to immerse yourself in Chinese culture and traditions.
Looking forward to your reply and hopefully seeing you during the festival.
Best regards,
Li Hua
