六、范文：
Dear Tom，
I'm very glad to tell you something about Chinese Spring Festival. Spring Festival is very important in my country. Like Christmas, it's a traditional festival in China①. It usually comes in February, but sometimes it comes in January.
It's time to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new②. We usually clean and decorate our houses carefully before it comes③. As soon as it comes, we put up chunlian on the door and chuanghua on the window④. It means the start of the celebration⑤.
We celebrate Spring Festival by eating a traditional family dinner on the eve before Spring Festival⑥. There's so much delicious food. We eat jiaozi—a kind of dumpling. After the dinner, we usually watch a special programme on TV.
We always visit the relatives and friends and say “Happy New Year” to each other. When the kids greet their grandparents, they can get lucky money. The celebration lasts until Lantern Festival comes⑦.
I like Spring Festival very much and we usually have a good time.
Yours
Li Lei
