中英双语：春节和元宵节的传统习俗介绍（含英语满分范文与点评）(2)

The Spring Festival is one of the most important festivals for Chinese people, which always falls in January or February. It is regarded as the biggest event. Getting together with family is a vital custom for us. Last year, I went to my grandparents" home with my parents to celebrate it. We all got up early in the morning and wore our new clothes. In the afternoon, we did cleaning and put up the couplets. To my great joy, I got more than ten red packets from the elderly! What an unforgettable experience it was!
In a word, it"s a pity if you miss the festival. I"m looking forward to celebrating this festival with you in China this year.
Yours,
Li Hua
