Dear Peter，

    Thank you for your letter. Now I'm going to answer some of your questions. You ask me about the weather in Beijing in winter. It's quite cold and it often snows in winter. After snowing, the ground is white. And I can skate on the ice. It's very interesting to skate. I like winter best.

    You ask me when it is the best time to come to China. I think the best time to come to China is in spring or in fall. It's often too hot in summer and it's too cold in winter. I have to finish this letter now. Ask your brother to come to China with you together. Welcome to Beijing soon.

Yours，

Jim

    We call Chinese New year the Spring Festival. There is the name of each Chinese year. We may call it the year of the rabbit, the year of the dog or the year of the monkey. And this year is the year of pig.

    Before New Year's Day, people are busy shopping and cleaning the houses. On New Year's Eve, there is a big family dinner, after dinner, the whole family stay up late to welcome the New Year. On the first day of the New Year, people put on their new clothes and go to visit their relatives and friends. They say "Happy New year" and some other greeting to each other. People usually have a very good time during the festival.
