译文：春节是中国最重要的节日，在春节之前我们会打扫房子，把门窗漆成红色，用剪纸装饰门和窗，买衣服，在除夕夜理发，然后我们聚在一起吃一顿丰盛的晚餐，吃饺子，汤圆。我们看电视，到了午夜，我们会玩焰火。在新年的第一天，我们穿上新衣服去拜访家人和朋友，还有舞龙和舞狮。新年在元宵节后结束，两周后我们通常吃汤圆，这会给我们带来好运。这真是一个难忘的春节。

I know you must have been wondering why I didn't reply your last letter earlier I am sorry but I didn't find time to check my mail-box because I was having the Spring Festival vacation with my whole family
Maybe you don't have a clear idea what spring festival isThis is actually a traditional festival celebrated all over China On that eve, Chinese people ususally get back home together no matter how far they are from home They may have a large party or a fabulous nice diner, fish is always included After that when it comes to the midnight, we would light some fireworks, which is also a traditional custom Besides we make dumplings, which can be called Jiao Zi either way
This festival is of much love and fun If you come to China around this time next year, I hope you can come to my home and have a great delightful time with us
Best wishes!
