Dear Linda,
Thanks for your email. I'm very happy to know that you like seeing films, because I have the same hobby. Now I can't wait to tell you about a great film. It's Hachi: A Dog's Story. This film is a true story happened in Japan in 1935.
Parke saw a lost dog at the train station. He took the little dog back home and the dog with a new name "Hachi" became a member of the family. Parke took good care of Hachi and the little and weak dog grew into a big and strong one. Parke went to work by train. Hachi went to the train station with him every morning and waited for Parke to come back in the evening. Unluckily, Parke got sick and died. However, Hachi still waited at the station every day for the next 9 years until it finally died.
I love this moving film and I really hope you can enjoy it too. Please write back soon and tell me about your favorite film with me.
Yours,
Jack
The Dragon Boat Festival
The Dragon Boat Festival has a long history (历史) of more than 2, 000 years. It usually comes in June. During these 2, 000 years, many traditions (传统) change.
Dragon boat racing (赛龙舟) is one of the most important traditions of the Dragon Boat Festival. People in the south and southeast of China usually have dragon boat racing on Dragon Boat Festival. Because there are many lakes and rivers in the south of China. The dragon boat is made of wood. It looks like a Chinese dragon with a dragon head on one side of the boat. It has a long body. There are usually 18 to 20 people in a standard (标准的) dragon boat for races.
Eating zongzi is another important tradition of the Dragon Boat Festival. In China, almost every family will eat zongzi when the festival comes. Zongzi is a rice dumpling usually wrapped (包) in bamboo leaves, with different fillings (馅儿). People in the south like the salty one, but those in Northern China like the sweet one.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, people usually hang calamus (菖蒲) and wormwood (艾草) on their doors. It helps people drive away the insects. People believe the smell of wormwood and calamus can help them avoid diseases (预防疾病).
①They have dragon boat racing.

An old tiger lives in the forest. He doesn't want to look for food. He often asks other animals to bring him something to eat. He sees a monkey and says, "I'm hungry, Monkey. Go to the village and bring me a fat pig." "Oh, Tiger," says the monkey. "I can't do that now. There is another tiger over there. He also wants a fat pig. He doesn't let me get anything for you to eat. I'm afraid of him." "What?" cries the old tiger. "Show me the tiger. I will talk to him." "Come with me," says the monkey, "Now look down at the river," says the monkey. "Can you see the head, the white teeth and the big green eyes of the tiger?" "Yes, I can," cries the old tiger. "I will eat him up." With these words, the tiger jumps into the water and dies(死亡).
The tiger is old.
