Dear Paul, 1
I’m writing to 2 invite you to spend the Spring Festival with my family and me, since the Chinese Spring Festival is around the corner.
The Spring Festival to Chinese is as significant as Christmas is to Westerners. 3 Chinese people attach such great importance to the holiday for it has a long and rich history. It is on this very occasion that people pleasantly gather together with their families and friends to share happiness with each other and pray for the good luck in the coming year as well. If you could come, you would experience a lot of events in which Chinese celebrate this grand festival, such as posting spring couplets, making dumplings, setting off firecrackers, making a New Year wish and so on. You would be immersed in a joyous atmosphere. 3 Time permitting, I will be very glad to take you to some famous places of historic interest as well as the streets and alleyways to gain a deep insight into Chinese traditional cultures and customs. 3
I would appreciate it if you could confirm your visit at your earliest convenience. 4
Yours truthfully 1 ,
