Dear Anne,
How are you? I had great fun last Wednesday, ...71... 12th, 2013. It was a traditional Chinese festival called Dragon Boat Festival that day.
This festival is in memory of Qu Yuan, one of ...72... greatest Chinese poets. He killed himself by jumping into the Miluo River on May 5th of the lunar calendar (阴历), 278BC. People there rowed the boats to ...73... him. But it was too late. They were very sad and then threw rice into the ...74... to feed the fish so that they would stay away from his body.
...75... then on, every year on this day, people enjoy ...76... Zongzi which is made of rice with meat, eggs and so on. In the past we ate it only ...77... a year, but now we regard it as our daily food. We can have it any time we like.
Have you ever ...78... the dragon boat race on TV? It is another important part of this festival. Several teams row their dragon-shaped boats as ...79... as they can. The first team to reach the finish line wins.
If you have a plan to visit China next year, would ...80... like to spend this festival with us?
Best wishes,
Xiao Qiang
