Chinese Traditional Skill
Dear editors,
Traditional Chinese culture plays an important role in the development of our society. We should learn about them.
My favorite traditional Chinese skill is paper cutting. Paper cutting has been around for over 1,500 years. It sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes and good luck and a happy new year. I like paper cutting because it shows the things that are important in life, such as love, beauty and family. I think paper cutting is very interesting, and I hope more and more people will learn it.

The people we admire are like guiding stars that guide us to be better. My guiding star is Ma Yun.

When we Chinese people need masks during the COVID-19, he collected them from all over the world. When people in poor foreign countries needed masks, he also tried his best to help them.

Dear Miss Wang,
I am Li Hua from Class 6, Grade 9. I am very interested in the Chinese Traditional Culture Festival. Here are some of my suggestions about how to spread traditional Chinese culture.

Next time when we need to introduce traditional culture to people from different countries or people who are not familiar with our customs, we know what to do.
