Dear Lily,

I’d like to tell you something about the Spring Festival in China. Every year there is a Spring Festival. Usually it is in January or February. It is the most important（最重要的）festival in China. So before it comes, we buy pork（猪肉）, chicken, fish, fruit and many other things. And we often have a special kind of food—dumplings. It means（意思是） “come together”. On the day before the festival, parents always buy new clothes for children. On the Spring Festival Eve（除夕）, all the family come back home. This is a very happy time. We can sing and dance, and we can also watch TV, play cards... In the evening we’ll have a big dinner giving the best wishes（最好的祝愿）for the coming year.
