Dear Ben,

I am Candy’s student, Cindy. I am 12 years old. I like taking photos and listening to music. I would like to be your pen friend and I would like to tell you something about our Spring Festival.

Spring Festival is the most popular and famous festival in China. In our country, children don’t give red packets. But adults usually give red packets to children. Adults usually put paper money in the red packets. They don’t put coins or food in them. Children send e-mails or send cards to their friends as presents. Red packets also call lucky money. And lucky money means best wishes from adults. Before Spring Festival, people can clean their houses. And we can go to the Flower Fair to buy some flowers. People use the flowers to decorate their houses. The children can help the adults too. During Spring Festival, people can get together and eat a big meal. And we can watch the Spring Festival Gala. Adults usually give lucky money to the children.

This Spring Festival, I am going to get a lot of lucky money. I want to buy something. And I’m going to wear the new clothes during Spring Festival. I’ll eat the big meal with my family.

Candy’s Student,

Cindy
