Dear Peter
I’m really glad to receive your l etter asking about the Chinese Zodiac animal sign. To satisfy you curiosity, I am writing this letter 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. 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. We Chinese believe that those who are born in certain year of animals are featured with some traits of that animal. For example, Horse is believed to be fast, efficient and persistent. It sounds funny, isn’t it?
By the way, I’d like to invite you to come to my hometown to spend you summer holiday.It’ll be a good opportunity to experience Chinese culture and tradition.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Jack,
I’m glad to hear that you are interested in the Chinese mythology and would like to know something about dragon. .
When we Chinese think of China, one of the first creatures that springs to mind is the Chinese dragon, which exists in Chinese mythology and Chinese folklore. That’s why it is one of the twelve Chinese zodiac signs. The dragons have many animal-like forms and are most commonly described as snake-like with four legs. The Chinese dragon is a traditionally symbol of power, strength, and good luck. Therefore, the Emperor of China usually used the dragon as a symbol of his imperial power and strength and all Chinese also think they descend from dragons.
Now, dragons appeared in two Chinese traditional Festivals which are Lunar New Year and Dragon Boats Festival.
Best wishes!

We will enjoy the moon cakes and admire the moon together on the playground, symbolizing reunion and happiness. What’s more, a variety of activities will be included at the celebration, such as performances, games, and gift-exchanging, which will surely enable you to know better about our culture. To get fully involved,we hope that your students can put on performances with us. I think it will be a good combination of both eastern and western cultures.
We hope you could take my invitation into consideration. We’d appreciate hearing from your reply before August 15th.
Yours Sincerely,
Li Hua

that it was broken into pieces. I had planned to go to the sh op to buy a new one for you, but I didn’t get one. Now I have ordered one for you on the Internet that is expected to arrive in three days. I left your address and telephone number and the vase will be sent to you directly.
