Dear Linda,

    Thank you for your last letter. You ask me New Year's Day in China. Let me tell you something about it.

    New Year's Day is the most important day in China. We call it the Spring Festival, . Before New Year's Day, people usually clean houses. Children like New Year's Day, because they can wear new and get lucky from their grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts. On the first day of New Year's Day, our parents up very early and make dumplings. They often coins(硬币) in some dumplings. If you eat the dumplings with a coin in it, you can have luck in the coming year. we have breakfast, we do lots of things, We cards, watch TV and visit friends. During New Year's Day, families get together and have a happy time.

Yours

Li Mei
