Dear Tom,

I'm thrilled to share about Chinese kites, a traditional craft made of bamboo and silk/paper. Artisans bend bamboo into frames, cover them with painted silk, and attach colorful tails. The process blends skill and artistry.

Kites symbolize freedom and harmony in Chinese culture. Historically, they were used for military signals, but now they’re festive symbols. I admire how they connect nature and creativity. Flying kites in spring is a joyful tradition!

Hope this helps. Let me know if you’d like more details.

亲爱的汤姆，

我很高兴向你介绍中国的传统风筝，它们由竹子和丝绸/纸制成。工匠们将竹子弯曲成框架，覆以彩绘丝绸，并加上鲜艳的尾巴。这一过程融合了技巧与艺术。

风筝在中国文化中象征自由与和谐。历史上它们曾用于军事信号，如今则是节日的象征。我欣赏它们将自然与创意结合的方式。春天放风筝是一项令人愉悦的传统！

希望这些信息对你有帮助。如需更多细节，请告诉我。

5. harmony /ˈhɑːrməni/ n.和谐

范文分析:

3. 技巧:用历史与现代对比深化文化内涵（"Historically...but now..."），增强说服力。

Dear Tom,

I’m glad to tell you about Chinese kites, a traditional handicraft. They are usually made of bamboo and paper. To make one, artists first shape bamboo into a frame, then paste colorful paper onto it and paint beautiful patterns.

Kites carry rich cultural meanings. In the past, people flew them to pray for good luck. Now, they symbolize joy and freedom. I think making and flying kites is a wonderful way to experience Chinese culture.

Hope you can try it someday!

Yours,

Li Hua

参考范文

Hello everyone,

Today, I want to introduce the Chinese Knot, a symbol of our culture. It is made of a single red rope that is woven into different beautiful shapes, like flowers or animals.

The Chinese Knot is more than decoration. In Chinese, “knot” sounds like “jié”, which is related to ideas like reunion, friendship, and good luck. In the past, people used knots to remember things. Now, we give them as gifts to express our best wishes.

I chose it because it is beautiful and meaningful. It shows the wisdom and hopes of Chinese people. I think it perfectly represents how we value relationships and good fortune.

Thank you.

例文：

Kites

Kites have a history of about 2,300 years in China. The kite was invented by a man called Mozi in the Warring States period. He made a bird out of wood. It was the first kite in history. Later, his student Lu Ban used bamboo to make kites. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the invention of paper, people began to use paper to make kites. Kites have also begun to take on different shapes, such as airplanes, eagles and so on.

The World Kite Capital is Weifang, Shandong Province. There are many grand kite competitions held there every year. People all over the world want to go there. Flying kites is deeply loved by people. It is a very popular outdoor activity. Every weekend, I can see many people flying kites in the park. They play happily. But the kites we fly now are all bought from stores. Few people make their own kites.

I believe that as a traditional Chinese handicraft, kites should continue to be passed down. We should protect traditional Chinese handicrafts.

My favorite traditional Chinese culture is paper-cutting. Paper-cutting has a long history in China.

Last Spring Festival, my grandma taught me how to do paper-cutting. She first took out a red paper and a pair of scissors. Then, she folded the paper skillfully and began to cut. Soon, a beautiful rabbit appeared. Following her steps, I tried to cut a paper-cut of a flower. At first, I made many mistakes, but with my grandma’s help, I finally succeeded.

So I learned to be patient from this experience. Paper-cutting is not only a traditional art form but also a symbol of our happy life. It makes me appreciate the wisdom and creativity of our ancestors.

My favorite traditional art form

My favorite traditional art form is paper cutting. With a history of over 1,500 years, it is made from red paper using scissors or small knives. During the Spring Festival, people often stick paper cuttings on windows and doors for decoration. Most patterns, such as the Chinese character “Fu” or zodiac animals, carry wishes for good luck and happiness.

To make one, we first choose a design, fold the red paper, then cut it carefully with scissors. Finally, we unfold it to get a beautiful pattern.

I love paper cutting because it shows the wisdom of Chinese people. I feel proud of our country.

【答案】

例文

Dear Paul,

I’m glad to hear from you. Now let me tell you some customs you’d better know.

For example, it will be great if you learn how to use chopsticks and never stick them into a bowl. Also, when you meet, shaking hands and hugging are acceptable. In China, it’s polite to go to a friend’s house with a gift, but clocks and shoes should be avoided as they carry unlucky meanings. Maybe a tea set is a good choice.

As for Chinese traditional art, I think paper cutting is interesting. During the Spring Festival, people like to put paper cuttings up on the windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.

Wish you a good time!

Yours,

Li Hua
