Sample writing:
On the first day of our New Year, people wear their new clothes and visit family and friends. Children will receive red packets filled with “lucky” money. That’s one of my favorite parts of this festival.
It’s my favorite festival because I enjoy spending time with my relatives. It makes me feel very happy and loved to be with my family!
Yours truly,

It falls on the fifth day of the fifth month according to Chinese lunar calendar. The festival is celebrated to honor the great poet Qu Yuan. To celebrate the festival, people often get together with their family to eat zongzi and other delicious food. In the southern parts of China, people often have the Dragon Boat races.
It is so exciting to watch this activity on TV. Besides, we have a 3-day holiday during the festival. So we can have a short journey to relax. How interesting the Dragon Boat Festival is and I like it very much.

中考真题
(浙江温州)年夜饭是中国文化中最重要的团圆饭。年夜饭菜肴丰富、美味,像年糕( New Year cake)、鱼等都还带有美好的祝愿。请以 The Family Dinner on Spring Festival Eve为题,写一篇约10词的短文,向外国朋友介绍自己家乡的年夜饭,让他们更好地了解中国丰富多样的文化习俗。注意:文中不可出现人名。标题已经给出,不计入总词数。The Family Dinner on Spring Festival Eve
【参考范文】 The Family Dinner on Spring Festival Eve The family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important dinner in traditional Chinese culture. On Spring Festival Eve, family members get together to enjoy the dinner. There are all kinds of delicious food and drinks. Many of them usually have great meanings. For example, in Wenzhou, New Year cake is often the first dish, which means "having more luck and becoming better" in Chinese
pronunciation. Another dish is fish, which means "having more than we need". Children all like this family dinner. At dinner they receive not only best wishes but also lucky money from their parents.It is a Chinese tradition that we have kept for thousands of years.
Every festival carries people’s good wishes for life!
When we celebrate a festival, we should think about the culture and meaning behind it. As a Chinese, it’s our duty to introduce our traditional culture to our foreign friends.
