Dear Clara,
I’m very glad to hear that you will come to China before Mid-Autumn Festival. I know you are not good at speaking Chinese. Now, I give you some advice on how to learn Chinese.
You can make word cards to learn Chinese. You can watch Chinese movies. You can speak Chinese as much as possible. Use Chinese whenever you can. This is important. The more you use Chinese, the better you will learn it.
You also want to know about Mid-Autumn Festival. Let me tell you something about it. The festival falls on the 15th of the eighth month of our Chinese lunar calendar. As one of the traditional Chinese festivals, it has been enjoying great popularity in our country. Usually however far away we are, we will try to go home for the celebration. The moon that night looks the brightest in the whole lunar month. What we love most is to admire the moon together. We sit together and eat mooncakes, sharing our stories. In addition to these traditional activities, we have a wider range of choice such as travelling and visiting our relatives or friends.
Yours,
Huang Lei
