Dear Cindy,

       How are you? I had a great time last Tuesday May 30th, 2020. It was a traditional Chinese festival 【1】 Dragon Boat Festival that day.

This festival is in memory of Qu Yuan, one of the 【2】 Chinese poets. He killed himself by 【3】 into the Miluo River on May 5th of the lunar calendar, 278 BC. People there rowed the boats 【4】 him. But it was too late. They were very sad and then 【5】 rice into the river to feed the fishes so that they would stay away from his body.

From then on, every year on this day, people enjoy 【6】 zongzi which is made of rice with meat, eggs and so on. In the past we ate it only once a year, but now we regard it as our everyday food. We can have it at any time we like.

Have you ever 【7】 the dragon boat race on TV? It is another important part of this festival. Several teams row their dragon-shaped boats as 【8】 as they can. The first team to reach the finish line 【9】.

If you have a plan to visit China next year, would you like 【10】 this festival with us?

Best wishes!

Yours,

Shen

21、   We've talked about snails(蜗牛) and their slow move. But much of the time snails don't move at all. They are in their shells(壳) sleeping.

Hot sun will dry out a snail's body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into its shell. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So when it rains, a snail does the same thing, too. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep.

In spring the snail wakes up. Its body comes out from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. Its eyes, at the end of the top feelers(触角)are very weak. But its sense of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to find food.

A snail's mouth is no bigger than the point of a pin(大头针).Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are very small, and you can't see them. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out! And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones.
