Dear Jack,

    How are you? I had great fun last Saturday, June 20th. It was a traditional festival{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (call) Dragon Boat Festival that day.

    This festival is in memory of Qu Yuan, one of{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(great) Chinese poets. He killed{#blank#}3{#/blank#}by jumping into the Miluo River on May 5th of the Lunar calendar, 278BC. People there rowed the boats{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(save) him, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}it was too late. They were very sad and then threw rice into the river to feed the fish so that they would stay away from his body.

    From then on, every year on this day, people enjoy{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(eat) zongzi once a year, but now we regard it as our daily food.

    Have you ever{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(watch) the dragon boat races on TV? It is another important part of this festival. Several{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(team) row their dragon-shaped boats as fast as they can. The first team to reach the finish line{#blank#}9{#/blank#}.

    If you have a plan to visit China next year, would you like to spend this festival {#blank#}10{#/blank#}us?

Best wishes,

Xiao Qiang
