April 23 is known as World Book Day． The idea of setting a day to encourage reading came out from UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) in 1995． In fact, it started long before that in Spain． In 1922, Spanish writer Vicente Clavel Andrés suggested the idea as a way to honor their famous writer Miguel de Cervantes． Four years later, the first celebration took place on October 7, Cervantes’ birthday． In 1930, it was moved to April 23, the date of his death．

Reading books gives people the chance to look into different worlds and meet new people both real and imagined． Ancient Chinese believed in the saying: Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles． Reading is a way to learn from the past, understand the world, and get life wisdom (智慧)． So make every day World Book Day!

Chinese Longtaitou Festival, or Dragon-Head-Raising Festival is an important Chinese traditional festival with a very long history． It falls on the second day of the second lunar (农历) month every year． It celebrates the start of spring and farming．
Ancient people believed that after this day, rainfall increases because the Dragon King has woken up from his winter sleep． A well-known saying goes, “Er yue er, long tai tou,” meaning, “On the second day of the second month, the dragon lifts his head．”
As time goes by, some traditional ways to celebrate it die out, while others persist． The most famous way is getting a haircut． Some believe that having a haircut on this day takes away bad luck． Even today it is a tradition to line up outside the barber’s (理发店) on the day of Longtaitou．

Animals play so many important roles in our lives． Some, like cows and sheep, provide us with food; pets are our friends; other animals work for us． Above all, every animal—big or small—can fill us with a sense of the wonder of the natural world．
Unluckily, we don’t always value this． Many animals are endangered because of our actions, and millions of animals in the world are badly treated． World Animal Day reminds us, at least for one day a year, “to celebrate animal life in all its forms” and “to be thankful for the way in which animals enrich（使丰富）our lives．”
World Animal Day was started in 1931 in Florence, Italy． It made us pay attention to the problem of endangered animals around the world． It is now celebrated in most countries around the world． The day falls on October 4th every year．
All over the world on this day, volunteers raise money for animal centers and social organizations． Museums and zoos organize special events． Schools have also joined animal projects． No matter what is done, the idea is to remind us of the importance of animals and to show us how we could improve our relationship with animals．
If you want to take part, you could help an animal or organize a money-raising event for a local charity． The important thing is just taking an active part． We should offer animals as much as they offer us．
Animals are important in our lives． They offer us 97 , friendship, help and a sense of the wonder of the natural world． However, our actions make many kinds of animals in danger, and we treat millions of animals 98 ． World Animal Day reminds us to be thankful to animals． It was started in 1931 to draw people’s attention to the 99 of endangered animals． Now World Animal Day is celebrated on October 4th every year． On this day, many activities are held to 100 how to improve the relationship between humans and animals． So let’s just be 101 to take part and offer animals as much as they offer us．

Dear Peter,
   How is everything going? I’m glad to share something about traditional festivals in China．
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming． Dragon Boat Festival, also called Duan Wu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese Lunar Year． The festival was created in honor of a respectable poet in ancient China, who had great devotion for the people but was unfairly treated by the king of his country． Hopeless and angry, he threw himself into the Milo River． Nowadays, people in China observe this traditional holiday by holding dragon boat races and eating zong zi．
My family got reunion and we went on a travel to Milo River last Dragon Boat Festival．
   In my opinion, Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most important holidays in China, for it reminds us the true spirit of honesty and loyalty of our ancestors．
   I hope the above is helpful．
   Looking forward to hearing from you．
Yours,
Li Hua
