Dear Andy,
The Spring Festival is coming. It’s an important festival in China. My family and I are getting ready for it.
Mother wants to buy some meat and vegetables. She would like to make a big dinner for our family. I want to buy some presents for my parents and friends.
Every Spring Festival, my parents get new clothes for me. But this year, I want to design the clothes for myself. It includes a black and white cotton coat, a pair of jeans and a pair of trainers. Jeans are popular among students and trainers are very comfortable. They are a good match.
My parents prepare red packets for me. And I want to give my father some books about football and give my mother a pair of beautiful gloves.
I think our Spring Festival is wonderful.
All the best
Sarah
