Dear Tom,
(用一句话概括春节的重要性。)
Several days before the New Year, people begin to prepare for it. My parents buy meat, fish, vegetables and so on. Houses are cleaned up.
(在除夕,全家聚在一起吃大餐。) After the meal we watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV until midnight.
(在新年的第一天), each of us is dressed in new clothes. When meeting others outside, we say "Happy New Year" to each other. We make new year calls to friends and relatives. That day my parents and relatives give (红包) to us children. (我们所有人都过得很愉快。)
Yours,
Wang Kun
