提示词语：eat, get together, share, happy, special

（１）Hi! Tom,

I’m glad to hear that you are interested in traditional Chinese festivals. My favorite festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It usually comes in September or October. On that day, our family members usually get together and have a nice meal. After that, I always admire the moon and share mooncakes with my families.

I love this festival because I like eating mooncakes. They are in the shape of a full moon. They carry people’s wishes to the families they love and miss. In short, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of pleasure and happiness. I hope that my letter will help you know more about Chinese festivals.

Yours,（２）The Dragon Boat Festival，also called the Duanwu Festival，is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. This festival is to commemorate the death of QU Yuan，an upright and honest poet and statesman who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river.

The most important activity of this festival is the Dragon Boat races. It symbolizes peo ple‘s attempts to rescue Qu Yuan. In the current period，these races also demonstrate the virtues of cooperation and teamwork.

Besides，the festival has also been marked by eating zong zi （glutinous rice）。Zong zi is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. People who mourned the death of Qu threw Zong zi into the river to feed his ghost every year.

With the changes of the times，the memorial turns to be a time for protection from evil and disease for the rest of year. People will hang healthy herbs on the front door to clear the bad luck of the house. Although the significance of the festival might be different with the past，it still gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage.
