Hello， everyone！ It's my honor to speak here. Today I want to talk about my favorite traditional Chinese festival.
As is known to all， China is famousfor its rich and varied traditional festivals.Among those festivals， I like the SpringFestival best. The Spring Festival， which isone of the most significant traditionalfestivals in China， falls on the first day ofthe first lunar month. There are a variety ofactivities during the festival， such ascleaning and decorating the house， postingcouplets， having reunion dinners， receivingred packets， and so on. In addition， thereare also many other customs such asdragon dances and lion dances. Whilecelebrating the Spring Festival， familiescan not only reunite but also enjoy tradi⁃tional Chinese culture. That's why I like itbest.
That's all. Thanks for your listening！

Dear Peter，
I'm writing to share one of my festivalexperiences in the Harbin Ice and SnowFestival with you.
Enjoying the Harbin Ice and SnowFestival was an unforgettable experience.The city of Harbin was transformed into anicy wonder， with towering sculptures andbuildings made of ice. I marveled at thescale and artistry of them as I walkedamong life⁃sized ice versions of the GreatWall and the Egyptian pyramids. At night，lights added color to the already stunningdisplays， creating a magical atmosphere.Despite the cold， the festival showcasedincredible creativity and left me withlasting memories of a unique wintertime adventure.
