Extensive Reading Dear Mike, I’m glad to know that you are coming to China with your parents and spend the Spring Festival here. The Spring Festival which falls on the first day of the lunar year is the most important festival in China. It is said that ancient people celebrated it to drive a demon, Nian away. Several days before the new year, we begin to get prepared. Many things are bought; houses are cleaned; couplets are posted on the doors; colorful lanterns are hung at the door. On the Eve of the Spring Festival , we families get together and have a big meal. Besides, we watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV. Of course, we like setting off some firecrackers. During the festival, we visit relatives and friends with the best wishes. Children like the festival very much ,because not only can they have delicious food and wear new clothes, but also they can receive lucky money from their parents. People enjoy the Spring Festival ,during which they can have a good rest. I’m sure you will have a lot of fun if you come. Hope to see you soon! Yours, Li Hua
