An email to a friend in Japan

Dear Jennifer,

Hello! I am very happy! Because Chinese New Year is coming. It is very cold. We want to eat some Chinese food.

My mum buy some dresses for me. I like them very much. My mum buy some dresses for my sister too. My dresses are red because my mum believe red is very lucky. My family like to eat rice cakes very much. My mum makes them for us. We share them with our neighbors. They like our rice cakes very much. I like rice cakes very much too. We will visit our friends. We get red packets happily. We go to the flower market to buy peach blossoms and mardarin trees. We go to watch lion dances but I don’t enjoy it very much.

What festival do you like best? We will go to Japan next year. Please write soon.

Love,
Mary
