How are you? I had great fun last Wednesday, 【小题1】 12^th, June. It was a traditional Chinese festival called the Dragon Boat Festival that day. This festival is in memory of Qu Yuan, one of 【小题2】 greatest Chinese poets. He killed himself by jumping into the Miluo River on May 5^th of the lunar calendar (农历), 278 BC. People there rowed the boats to 【小题3】 (save) him. But it was too late. They were very sad and then threw rice into the 【小题4】 to feed the fish so that they would stay away from his body.

【小题5】 then on, every year on this day, people enjoy 【小题6】 (eat) Zongzi which is made of rice with meat, eggs and so on. In the past, we ate it only 【小题7】 (one) a year, but now we regard it as our daily food. We can have it any time we like.

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

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