Dear Peter
Im really glad to receive your letter asking about the Chinese Zodiac animal sign. To satisfy you curiosity, I am writing to tell you some interesting facts about it.
Actually, it is a repeating cycle of 12 years, with each year being represented by an animal. In order, the 12 animals are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig. Each year is associated with a zodiac animal. For example, 2018 is the year of the Dog and therefore babies born this year have the animal sign of dog. Since you are at the same age with me, you surely own the same sign with me Horse. In China, people born in the year of Horse are believed to be fast, efficient and persistent.
By the way, Id like to invite you to come to my hometown to spend you summer holiday. Itll be a good opportunity to experience Chinese culture and tradition. Look forward to your reply.

Thank you for your last letter asking me the meaning of “打call”, a very popular saying in China. Im very glad to give you some advice about its special meaning and usage.
In China,“打call”means“to cheer for someone”rather than “to make a phone call”, which is commonly used by fans to give support to their favorite stars on the stage . For example , at a concert ,the fans may put up their glow sticks high in the air and move them violently, shouting aloud for their idols. Apart from this, we can also use it to show our admiration to what others do in our daily life.
Have you got it Looking forward to your reply.

Dear Bob,
Im so delighted to learn that you show an interest in Kungfu Tea and would like to know something about it. Now Im glad to introduce it to you in detail.
Originating in the Song Dynasty, Kungfu Tea came into being in the Mid-Ming Dynasty. It has been enjoying great popularity especially in Chao Shan area ever since.
The benefits of drinking Kungfu Tea are as follows. To begin with, it refreshes you after a whole days hard work and improves your memory. Furthermore, it does good to your digestion, which benefits you a lot.
Nevertheless, its unwise of you to drink Kungfu Tea with an empty stomach because it may ruin your appetite. Also, if you have difficulty falling asleep, youd better not drink it before going to bed for its likely to keep you awake all night.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Dear Lucy,
I am glad that you show great interest in Chinese food, and I'm also pleased to tell you something about it.
As you have leant from the documentary A Bite of China shown on CCTV, Chinese food, with a long history, is well received internationally. With several thousand yearscreative efforts, the intelligent and hardworking Chinese people have been able to employ a variety of natural ingredients and cooking methods in making Chinese food. A meal in China often consists of main food, typically rice or noodles, and accompanying dishes, such as vegetables, meat and fish. As for the cooking methods the Chinese people usually use, frying, baking and boiling are among the very common.
If there is a chance, welcome to China and have a good taste of Chinese food.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Mr David Smith/Sir,
Im a student in Class 12 Grade 2, and I find some problems in our school, so I hope you will not mind me writing to give you some advice on our school buildings.
First of all, I hope there will be adequate access for wheelchairs in our school, such as lifts for disabled students and those who are walking-impaired. Currently, the laboratory building and the library are not accessible to the disabled, for there is no lift. Second, it would be handy if we set special toilets for the disabled people, which will make them feel they are considered. Last but not least, I hope there would be more toilets for girls. During the break between classes, there are always lots of girls lining up outside the restroom, and it wastes a lot of time.
I would appreciate it if you could take my advice seriously into your account.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

As part of Chinese cultural treasure, calligraphy enjoys popularity both in old times and in modern life for its effect on shaping characters. In order to learn it well, it would be a good idea to show great interest as well as patience. Additionally, since there are different types of calligraphy, choosing one that best suits you is another effective way. Last but not least, I strongly suggest that you should insist on practising it everyday.
I hope these suggestions will be helpful to you. Best wishes!

Dear Jack,
I am so sorry to learn that you suddenly fell ill. Its never easy to adapt to a new environment, and hopefully you'll soon get used to it.
As scheduled, our football match takes place next Saturday. I would greatly appreciate it if you could let me know whether you can take part in it by then. By the way, our traditional Dragon Boat Festival is coming next month. My family and I are all expecting your coming to enjoy the authentic festive atmosphere with us.

Dear Sahna,
I am sorry to hear that you didnt perform well in the contest of Chinese calligraphy and that you are feeling discouraged.
Anyhow, as a foreigner, you have tried your best. As the proverb goes, failure is the mother of success. Facing failure, you shouldnt feel sad and lose heart. On the contrary, you should analyze the cause of your failure. As far as I am concerned, you are not well prepared for it and you need more time to practice more. Chinese calligraphy is a time-consuming art, so what you need to do is spend more time on it.
If you want to practice, I am willing to work as a tutor to help you improve it.
Yours,
Li Hua

Ladies and gentlemen,
Good morning, I am Li Hua from Guangdong, China. Its my great honor to be here to say something about Chinese traditional culture.
The economy in China is growing rapidly while part of traditional culture is gradually declining. For example, paper-cutting, shadow play and so on are in danger due to the lack of younger generations who are willing to carry on them and the ignorance from majority of Chinese. Therefore, it is high time we took some measures.
First and foremost, an effective way, undoubtedly, is that the government ought to shoulder the responsibility to attach importance to traditional culture like encouraging more young people to succeed the jobs of it. Whats more, with the society developing, traditional culture should be made creative so that it can be accepted by more and more people. Last but not least, as a Chinese, improving our confidence in our traditional culture may be a sensible choice.
Thats all. Thank you.

All of the students in our school watched the exhibition excitedly in the exhibition hall. They are so proud of our motherland. They thought,with the development of the transportation,it is very convenient for them to enjoy the beauty of the country. Two hours later, the exhibition came to an end. The students didn't walk out of the exhibition hall until they were asked to.
Most of the students think highly of this China High-speed train exhibition,which provides a platform for them to explore the beauty of China and experience the charm of Chinese science and technology.

Dear Editor,
I want to share my opinions on the universal two-child policy. As we know, China has the largest population in the world. Thats why our government carries out“the family planning policy”. In most families, they have only one child, and they see not only its advantages but also its disadvantages.
The universal two-child policy surely brings us some benefits. While parents bear a heavier financial burden, it helps children with their growth. Besides, it can ease the pressure from the aging of population. Itll also improve the balanced development of population and increase labour force.
In fact, I prefer to have a brother or sister, because if I have one, Ill not feel lonely. We can grow up together. When in trouble, we can help each other. Its really wonderful!
Yours,
Li Hua
