参考范文 赏析
The Spring Festival is a time for family reunions. But last Spring Festival left me a special but meaningful memory. 首段： 点明主题，special，meaningful 为下文埋下伏笔。
My father is a doctor who had to be on duty at the Spring Festival Eve for many years. Last year, he told me that he would be back to celebrate the festival with us. I was so excited and prepared the family dinner with my mother carefully. When we were watching the CCTV gala, the phone rang. It was my father from the hospital. Doubtless, he said he couldn’t return home because of an emergency. Tears came to my eyes but my mother told me that it was my father’s duty to protect everyone’s life and we should support him. So we decided to send the dumplings to my father. At last, we spent a special festival at the hospital. 中心段：父亲经常除夕值班，今年能回家过年。父亲的再一次爽约将故事推向高潮。母亲的话让我理解父亲。最后在医院度过春节与首段的special和meaningful相契合。 本段创设情景合理，利用事情发展的顺序和情绪变化对比让故事更具真实性。
Let’s show our respect and thanks to those who keep us safe. I hope everything goes well so that my father can spend the Spring Festival with me. 结尾：点明主题意义，写出了作者天下太平的宏愿和与父亲过团圆年的期待。

Dear Eric，
There is going to be a traditional Chinese handicraft competition. I'd like to invite you to join in it with me.
I plan to make some paper cuttings. As you know, paper cutting has been around for over 1，500 years. Paper cuttings are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck during the Spring Festival and weddings. They're easy to make as well. First, we can design pictures.The most common pictures are flowers, animals, and things about Chinese history. If you like, you can choose some western topics such as famous cartoon images or Christmas elements. Then, the red paper is folded and it is cut with scissors. If we work together, we can come up with some creative ideas.
In my opinion, our works will not only add some lucky atmosphere but also show the combination of Chinese culture and western culture.Don't wait! Come and join me!

Welcome to the food festival. The dumpling is the best example of Chinese food. Everyone coming to China must try it. Please follow me to learn how to make it.
It is said that the dumpling was invented by a famous doctor in ancient times, and later it became the must eat food on important days. Anyway, it's very easy to make dumplings. First, you need to use the flour to make the covers as well as preparing the fillings. Next, wrap the fillings with the cover. This is the most challenging part. You need to make the dumplings in the shape of a gold ingot. In ancient times, it was seen as the symbol of good luck and wealth. If you like, you can put a coin in one of them. That's because the one who bites the coin will be the luckiest person. After wrapping, it's time to boil dumplings. A few minutes later, the delicious dumplings will come to the table.
Actions speak louder than words. Please join me and let's get the best bite of dumplings.

Dear Mike，
Glad to hear that you will spend the Spring Festival in China. Like Christmas, the Spring Festival is the most important festival in China with many interesting traditions.
A few days before the festival, we begin to clean our houses to sweep away bad luck and do shopping. The day before the Spring Festival，we put up the red couplets on the door and paper cuttings on the windows. Everywhere in China, you will notice the festival atmosphere. On the eve, all family members get together to enjoy the reunion dinner. It's a time to say goodbye to the past year and welcome the new year. You can join us and we'll set off fireworks together. The next day, we get up early and put on the new clothes and visit our friends and relatives. We often receive hongbao from elder people. So, when you come, don't forget to say“ happy new year”．
I'm looking forward to your coming and wish you a special and unforgettable Spring Festival in China.
