Dear Linda,

    Thank you for your last letter. You ask me {#blank#}1{#/blank#} 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, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Before New Year's Day, people usually clean {#blank#}3{#/blank#} houses. Children like New Year's Day, because they can wear new {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and get lucky {#blank#}5{#/blank#} from their grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts. On the first day of New Year's Day, our parents {#blank#}6{#/blank#} up very early and make dumplings. They often {#blank#}7{#/blank#} coins(硬币) in some dumplings. If you eat the dumplings with a coin in it, you can have {#blank#}8{#/blank#} luck in the coming year. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} we have breakfast, we do lots of things, We {#blank#}10{#/blank#} cards, watch TV and visit friends. During New Year's Day, families get together and have a happy time.

Yours

Li Mei
