14 A sample Dear Tom, I am glad to receive your . In your , you asked me information about Chinese traditional festivals. Here I am writing to share the Dragon Boat Festival with you. The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival in China, which takes place on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It is held in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan. He drowned himself in a river. The local people try to find his body and then, as an offering(祭品), they threw Zongzi into the river. Now, people row dragon boats and eat Zongzi on this day. You can come and spend the day with me. I believe you will have a good time. I am looking forward to your reply. Yours, Li Hua
