Just like the Christmas Eve to western people, for Chinese, the Spring Festival eve is also a meaningful night, full of happiness and expection for the coming up new year.
With the brilliant fireworks light the sky, the prelude of the festival is starting.No matter how long and how tough it is, the Chinese people trudged long way to back home for the reunion of the family in the eve. It has been lasting for many years, the Spring Festival Gala on the TV show is the repertoire, entire family is enjoying the delicious and abundant dinner and foods and watching the show together.
For Chinese, every terrible memory and unhappiness will be stopped at this night, and a splendid next year will also begin at here. Their wishes become the blare of the crackers and colorful flash of the firework into the air and spread faraway.For generations, the Spring Festival Eve is considred as a new start for the future, a wonderful conclusion for passed a year, and night when everybody is able to open their mind.

With the dramatic increasing economy, people have less time to stay with the family. But in this eve, it could be a payback,a compensation, or a opportunity to everybody who wants to share the enjoyment with his or her family. The relaxing conversation and jokes are around the rooms with the warm atmosphere in the chill winter night.
There are a lot of traditions of the eve inherited for generations. But, now more and more new fashions introduced into this eve and even replaced the old traditions. More and more people are glad to have the dinner in the restaurants instead of cooking and having at home. However, no matter what it is, a harmouious and peaceful night is the favorite of everybody here.
Dear Family,
You must be greatly surprised when you get this letter, not from anyone else but from your dearest son, since I have never written a letter for ages in such a traditional way. The purpose of my writing is not so much to express my gratitude for bringing me up, as it is to tell you something about my college life.
It has been more than two years since I started my college life and I have adapted myself to the new environment here, even though at the very beginning, I was not quite used to it. My classmates are pretty friendly and they offer to help me whenever need be, which is really precious for me. My teachers tell me the differences between college life and high school life and give me some necessary advice on how to learn in college. Because of their kind-hearted help, I learn to know the importance of cooperation and communications between each other, especially when in Group work.
In the past several months, I have been busy preparing for TEM 4.Therefore, most of the time, I stayed at school and seldom kept in touch with you; I should have been ashamed of this. But now it is completely finished, and I will never do that again. In my spare time, I usually go to play basketball to keep fit since you always ask me to practice more to keep healthy. What is more, I like to go to the English Corner to practice my spoken English in order to improve my oral English level, which is of importance as English major.
Finally, I would like to specially thank you for providing me the best education and experience. Without your support and understanding, it wouldn't be the same. In regard to the future, I will make every effort to study for my degree and make the dreams I had envisioned come true.
Take good care of yourselves as you have asked me to.
Best regards,
Jay
