倒贴的福字（the character Fu）

假设你是李华，你校外教Mr. Brown春节期间看到邻居房门上的福字是倒着贴的，感到很好奇，向你写信询问此事。请给他回一封信，介绍这个传统及其寓意，同时邀请他高考过后来你家过端午节。

满分范文：

Dear Mr. Brown

I’m glad to receive your letter. As you have seen, many Chinese choose to stick the character Fu on the door upside down during the Spring Festival. This actually expresses their best wishes for the new year. In Chinese, the character for “upside down” s ounds the same as the character for “to arrive” so this means that happiness is arriving. Quite interesting, isn’t it?

By the way, I’d like to invite you to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival with my family after the College Entrance Exam. It’s a day in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan and we usually eat rice dumplings any enjoy dragon boat races. It’ll be a good opportunity to experience truly Chinese culture and tradition.

Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Li Hua 译文：

亲爱的布朗先生：

我很高兴收到你的来信。正如你所看到的，许多中国人选择在春节期间把福字倒贴在门上。这实际上表达了他们对新的一年的最美好祝愿。在汉语中，“倒”字与“到”字谐音，所以这就意味着幸福的到来。很有趣，不是吗？

顺便说一下，我想邀请你在高考之后和我的家人一起过端午节。这是纪念伟大诗人屈原的一天，我们通常吃粽子并享受龙舟大赛。这将是体验中国文化和传统的一个好机会。

期待您的回复。

你的，

李华
