Dear Bob,

I’m glad to hear from you. You said that you are very interested in Chinese customs, especially the Spring Festival. Several days before it, people are busy shopping and cleaning. On the New Year’s Eve, the whole family usually get together to have dumplings, set off fireworks, and watch TV programs. On the New Year’s Day, people always get up early and put on new clothes. Everyone looks happy and says "Happy New Year" to each other. Children can also get lucky money from their parents and other adults. When you take a walk in the streets, you will be struck by the sight of beautiful decorations. Some doors are decorated with red lanterns. This is somet hing about our Spring Festival. And welcome to our country some day.

Best wishes.

Yours,

Li Ming
