Hello, Jenny!
I love fall! We will celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival this week. In the lunar calendar, it’s on August 15. The moon is round and bright. We will watch the moon that night, and look for Chang’e. When I was a little boy, my grandma told me the story of Chang’e. In the story, a beatiful lady named Chang’e lives on the moon. We will eat moon cakes and fruit during the festival. They’re delicious!
National Day is also in autumn. It’s on October 1. Will have a seven-day holiday! We will do many things together. I like going to the National Day celebration.
The best thing about autumn, however, is my birthday.
I will be thirteen years old this year.
Good-bye for now!
Li Ming

Dear Li Ming,
Thank you for the e-mail! I love autumn, too. In Canada, we also have a holiday in autumn-Thanksgiving. Families always celebrate Thanksgiving together. I will go to my grandparents’ home. All of my uncles, aunts and cousins will be there, too. We will have a big dinner!
The Canadian Thanksgiving is on the second Monday of October. In the U.S. they celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November.
Have fun on your birthday, Li Ming!
Your friend,
Jenny
