A Here’s the first one! It’s a few days before Spring Festival. My mother’s cleaning our house and sweeping away bad luck . Look at the food on the table! We always buy a lot of food before the festival.
B Oh, I love this photo. We are celebrating Spring Festival with a traditional family dinner on the evening before Spring Festival. There’s so much delicious food. I am eating jiaozi—a kind of dumpling. After the dinner，we usually watch a special programme on TV.
C In this photo, my parents and I are visiting my uncles and aunts. We are wearing new sweaters and coats. I always get a hongbao. It means lucky money.

Dear Li Ming,
I am coming to China to spend Spring Festival with a Chinese family. But I don’t know anything about Spring Festival. I want to know the traditions at Spring Festival. Could you help me
Yours,
Kate
Yours,
Dear Kate,
I am very happy to tell you the traditions of Spring Festival in my hometown.
Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. On the evening before Spring Festival, families get together and have a big meal. In many places people like eating jiaozi and setting off firecrackers. Dumplings are the most traditional food. Children like it very much because they can have delicious food and wear new clothes. They can also get some money from their parents. The money means good luck. People visit families and friends. People enjoy Spring Festival because they can have a good rest.

2. 与now, at the moment, these days, these weeks等时间状语连用，句首有Look!/Listen!等提示语时，后面句子中的动词一般用现在进行时。
