Dear Frank,
Glad to receive your e-mail. Everything is OK. Spring Festival is the most important festival to Chinese people. My favorite activity during the festival is visiting my grandparents. Because I miss them so much and my grandma will make delicious food for me.
Paper cutting is a beautiful and special form of Chinese traditional art. The paper, usually red, can be cut into many different shapes. The most common pictures are flowers, animals, and things about Chinese history. They are put on windows, doors and walls during the Spring Festival. They are symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.
