The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on lunar May 5th. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by eating zongzi and racing dragon boats. In order to remember Qu Yuan, one of the greatest poets （诗人）in China, people hold the dragon boat races every year. That is the origins(起源) of this festival.
Qu Yuan was born in Zigui of Hubei Province over 2,200 years ago. Qu Yuan was an honest official(官员) of the state of Chu, during the Warring States Period (战国时期) (475-221 BC). He was upright(正直的) and wise. He wanted to bring his country peace and make the state stronger, but the country was in the hands of bad officials. So he failed. At last, he was very disappointed. He ended his life by throwing himself into the Miluo River. It was said that people jumped from boats into the river and tried to save him. But it was too late. Also, they were very sad. They threw rice into the water to feed the dragons in the river. They hoped that the dragons would eat zongzi instead of the poet's body.
Now we often read his poem Li Sao which is filled with deep love for his country. We can see the dragon boat races and have a kind of Chinese food named zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival.

七 书面表达
Dear Sophia,
How are you doing I hope this letter finds you well. As a Chinese student, I’d like to introduce some basic Chinese table manners to you, and I’m also curious about those in your country.
First of all, elders always take seats and start eating first—it’s a way to show our respect to them. Besides, don’t stick chopsticks into the rice or knock bowls with them, as these are not polite. Moreover, we should keep quiet while dining and avoid talking loudly. Finally, it’s common to offer food to family or friends, which can pass on friendship and care.
Could you please share some table manners in your country I really want to learn more about different cultures.
Wish you a happy day! Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely
Li Hua
