It's Chinese New Year's Eve. Lingling's family are busy now. Her father is cooking dinner. Her mother is washing the fruit. Her brother is writing an email to Uncle. Lingling wants to do paper-cutting(剪纸).First she takes out a piece of red paper. Then she draws a flower on it. Next she cuts it. At last she puts the paper-cutting on the window. Look, the window is very beautiful now!

Dear Sam,

    How are you? Next week, my family will go to Xi'an for a holiday. It is in the west of China. We'll go there by plane. We'll arrive at Xianyang airport in the morning. The weather report says it is very hot in Xi'an now. There is a very tall pagoda (塔) in the city. I'll visit some interesting places. I think the trip will be great.

    What are you going to do next week? I miss you very much!

Love,

Daming
