端午节 Chinese Dragon Boat Festival

Dear Mike,

亲爱的迈克，

　　Glad to hear from you. Id like to tell you something about the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival and how I spent it this year.

　　很高兴收到你的来信。我想告诉你一些关于中国端午节的事情，以及我今年是如何度过的'。

　　The Dragon Boat Festival falls on May 5th this year. People all across China eat zongzi and dragon boat races are held in many places to remember a great ancient person Qu Yuan.

　　今年的端午节是五月五日。中国各地的人们吃粽子，许多地方都举行龙舟赛，以纪念伟大的古人屈原。

　　We had three days off for this festival this year. During that time, I went for a picnic in the countryside with my good friends, and of course, ate zongzi with my family. I also watched the dragon boat races on TV. I enjoyed the holiday very much.

　　今年这个节日我们有三天假。那段时间，我和我的好朋友去乡下野餐，当然，和家人一起吃粽子。我还看了电视上的龙舟比赛。我假期过得很愉快。

　　I hope you can come to China next year and spend the festival with me.

　　我希望你明年能来中国和我一起过节。

　　Best wishes.

　　最美好的祝福。

　　Yours,

　　你的，
