Dear Kim:
I feel so happy to hear that you are interested in the Chinese spring festival, which is one most important symbol of Chinese culture. With my great honor, I am here sharing my knowledge about it with you.
The spring festival, also called Chinese New Year, enjoys a long history of over 4,000 years. Unlike other festivals, the Spring festival is a period of time, rather than a single day. It starts from the first day of a new year and ends on January 15th, , of course in the Chinese lunar calendar. But people usually start to celebrate the Spring Festival on the day before the New Year's Day, which is called "New Year's Eve", when all members of a family get together, have a big meal together(called Nian Ye Fan in Chinese) and watch the Spring Festival gala, indulged in the especially warm and sweet atmosphere of reunion.
There are a variety of activities during the Spring festival, among which at least three deserve your special attention. First, when the new year's first bell rings out the old year and rings in the new, adults and children get out of the houses and light crackers and fireworks, which decorates the sky into a colorful and magnificent stage.
Then, on the morning of the New Year's Day, people get up very early to stick couplets, on which all good wished are presented. Meanwhile, the red color of the couplets adds much to the joy of the splendid festival.
In addition, we have to visit our relatives from door to door as of the first day of the Spring Festival until the Lantern Festival, which is supposed to be a conclusion of the whole Spring Festival.
Kim, the short letter here surely fails me to give you a complete account of our Spring Festival. I sincerely hope, if possible, that you can come here in China to have a real experience about it.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
【關於春節的英語作文翻譯】
金：
你好！
聽說你對中國的春節很感興趣，我很高興。春節是中國文化中最重要的一個象徵。這裡，我很榮幸地與你分享一些我對春節所了解的知識。
春節，也叫作中國新年，有著超過4000多年的歷史。與其他的節日不同，春節是一個時間段，而不是指單獨某一天。它是從一月的第一天一直到十五日，當然是按照中國的農曆。但是人們通常都從大年初一前一天就開始慶祝春節，這一天也叫除夕，一大家人會團聚起來，吃個大餐（我們中國人管它叫年夜飯），看春晚，沉浸在家人團聚的特殊溫馨的氛圍之中。
春節里有很多的活動，其中至少有三樣事情值得你關注。首先，當新年的第一次鐘聲響起，一個辭舊迎新的時刻到來了，大人和小孩都會到室外去放鞭炮，放煙花，把整個天空裝扮成了一個五彩繽紛的大舞台。
然後，在大年初一的早上，人們都很早起來貼春聯。春聯上寫滿了吉祥的話語。同時，春聯的紅色也為這個絢麗的節日增添了不少的歡樂。
還有，從年初一開始我們都要挨家挨戶去拜訪親戚，一直到元宵節。元宵節的到來就意味著春節的結束。
金，短短的信件中我沒法向你很詳盡地描述好我們的春節。如果可能的話，我真心希望你能來中國好好的體驗一下。
致敬
李華
結語：
關於春節的英語作文是每一位高中生都應該熟悉的寫作題材。從知識層面上看，春節是每一個華人共同的節日，所以對於春節的知識應該是我們所有人的基本百科知識，每位考生都有話可說。另外，上面範文中要求以書信的方式寫出關於春節的英語作文，這實際上可以暗示出一種常見的命題導向：把說明文融入到書信這樣的套用文體中進行考察，希望學習者多加關注。
