How are you? I had great fun last Thursday, J_______9th, 2016. It was a traditional Chinese festival called Dragon Boat Festival that day.

This festival is in memory of Qu Yuan, one of t_______greatest Chinese poets. He killed himself by jumping into the Miluo River on May 5th of the lunar calendar(阴历) , 278 BC. People there rowed the boats to s_______  him. But it was too late. They were very sad and then threw rice into the r_______to feed the fishes so that they would stay away from his body.

F_______then on, every year on this day, people enjoy e_______ Zongzi which is made of rice with meat, eggs and so on. In the past we ate it only o_______a year, but now we regarded it as our daily food. We can have it anytime we like.

Have you ever w_______the dragon boat race on TV? It is another important part of this festival. Several teams row their dragon-shaped boats as f_______as they can. The first team to reach the finish line wins.

If you have a plan to visit China next year, would y_______like to spend this festival with us?
