Dear Terry,
How are you doing? In your last letter, you asked me about being a guest to a Chinese friend’s home. Now, I am writing to inform you of some relevant details.
To begin with, according to our tradition, you are supposed to arrive early, so that you can help the family prepare the dinner, which is not only meaningful but also interesting. Besides, you’d better bring some gifts, such as a book or a Chinese knot. What’s more, when you are enjoying the meal, you need to avoid making noises while chewing food.
Hopefully, these suggestions would be helpful for you. I have the confidence that you will have a great time. I am looking forward to your good news.
Best wishes!

Dear Henry,
I’m Li Hua, the leader of the paper-cutting club in our school. Last time you told me you wished to learn more about traditional Chinese culture. Now I’m glad to tell you there will be a Chinese paper-cutting exhibition held by our school. I sincerely hope you can set aside some time for the art feast.
The exhibition, the theme of which is “beauty of China”, will take place in the school hall from 2 to 5 on the afternoon of June 21. Not only will our club’s works be displayed, but we also have a valuable set of paper-cutting created by a famous artist in this field. Besides, there will be a lot of useful and interesting activities, from which you can have a clearer picture of Chinese culture.
I would appreciate it if you could accept my invitation. I’m sure it can leave a wonderful impression on you! I’m looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes!

Dear Jim,
Your letter came to me this morning. I’m delighted that you have developed an interest in Chinese history.
When it comes to my favourite figure in Chinese history, it must be Confucius, China’s most famous teacher, philosopher, and political theorist. Many of his words of wisdom that have been passed down from generation to generation have made a profound impact on the Chinese. In fact, he inspires me to become a teacher in the future for the purpose of cultivating talents.
If you want to know more about Confucius, please let me know. I can find you some books!

Dear Jim,

Dear Jim,
How are you these days? Recently, I make a plan to take part in a Dragon Boat Training Camp so that I can broaden my horizons and enrich my school life.
I want to tell you some details about the camp first. The camp will be held in my school next Saturday. And many other middle school students will take part in the camp as well. Therefore, we can communicate with each other very well.
Well, I have two main reasons why I want to join it. The first one is that the dragon boat race is one of the most important traditions in China. And people treasure it very much. You can know it’s a very funny and wonderful activity. What’s more, I can improve myself in the camp and learn many things that can’t be found in the books.
Would you like to join me? Please give me a reply soon and let me know your decision, OK?
Wish you good luck.

Dear Tom,
How are you doing?
Li Hua
One possible version:
Dear Tom,
How is it going? I hear you are running an online shop, so I wonder if you could sell some Chinese knots for me.
Those Chinese knots are made of red silk thread, cloth and other material. They look fairly pretty in the shape of a diamond, about 5 inches long and 4 inches wide. In China, these knots are often used to express good wishes, including happiness, prosperity, love and the absence of evil. People can either give them as gifts to friends or hang them in their houses. They are only 12.99 US dollars each.
Do let me know if you need further information. Thank you!

The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th of the eighth month of our Chinese lunar calendar.It is one of the most important traditional festivals in China.
On the evening there will be a big family dinner. People who work far away from their homes will try to come back for the reunion. After dinner, people will light the lanterns which are usually red and round.
After that people usually eat moon cakes, which stand for unity. Often, if the weather is fine, they will go out of the houses to enjoy the full moon, talking about something pleasant. In addition to these traditional activities, nowadays people tend to go traveling and visit relatives to celebrate the festival.
