参考范文:
Dear Tom,
Im very glad to tell you something about Spring Festival.
It’s a traditional festival in China. It comes in winter.
It’s time to get new. We usually clean and decorate our house carefully before it comes. I always help my mother clean the windows and wash the clothes. We put on chunlian on the door and chuanghua on the window.
It’s time to get together. Everyone goes home to get together with their family, though someone is far away from home. They must have dinner together on that day. They must visit their relatives and friends and say “Happy new year” to them. When the kids greet their grandparents, they can get money.
Yours
Li Lei
