Dear Jack,
I'm glad to know you're interested in Chinese calligraphy. It's my pleasure to tell you how to
learn Chinese calligraphy.
As we all know, the four treasures of the study are writing brush, ink, paper and ink stone,
which are essential to learn Chinese calligraphy. As to the way to learn it, I think, for one thing, you
may study the basic structure of each Chinese character step by step. For another, choosing a good

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Li Hua
One possible version:
Dear Mike,
It's great to hear from you. I feel proud knowing your interest in Chinese literature. The set
phrase you asked me means “trying to help seedlings grow by pulling them up”. There is a story
behind it.
A man in the Song State was anxious about the slow growth of his seedlings. One day, he went
to the field and pulled them upward one by one. He came back tired and said to his family, “I'm
exhausted today, for I have helped the seedlings grow much taller all at once.” Hearing this, his son
ran to look at the seedlings. To his horror, all of them had dried up and died.
This set phrase means that growing against the law of development in things and being
overanxious for quick results will make things worse.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Tom,
How are you doing? I wonder if you could sell some Chinese knots for me.
I made them myself with red silk threads, cloth and other materials. They look really beautiful
in the shape of a diamond, about 5 inches long and 4 inches wide. In China, these knots stand for
friendship, love and good luck. People can either give them as gifts to friends or hang them in their
houses.
They are only $12.99 each. If anyone wants to know more about the knots, let them write to
me. Also,do let me know if you need further information. Thank you!

Dear David,
How's everything going? As your birthday is drawing near, I've prepared a gift for you. It's a
Chinese painting “bamboo”, which I specially drew for you.
In Chinese culture, bamboo carries many best wishes and excellent qualities. On one hand, it
stands straight and stays green all year round, so it's always full of life. I wish you as strong and
energetic as a bamboo. On the other hand, it's hard outside but hollow inside. If compared to a
bamboo, one is usually considered to be strong-willed and modest. All in all, we use bamboo to
represent a noble and gentle person.
I hope you like the gift and wish you a happy birthday.

ancient Chinese musical instruments with a long history of over 2,500 years.
The Chinese Zither is a plucked instrument and is played with both hands. In the early times it
had 5 strings and has developed into 21 to 25 strings up to now.

Protect Traditional Chinese Culture
The protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to Chinese cultural diversity
and also to the harmonious development between local economic and social development. It is
reported that the Guangdong government pays special attention to protecting Chaoju(潮剧), a local
drama born in Chaozhou in the eastern Guangdong Province.
In my opinion, some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture effectively. To
start with, we should make a law to regulate the society's performance. Besides, we should draw
more people's attention to it, for the more they know about the importance of culture protection, the
stronger support we can get from the public.
In a word, it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable culture.

Hi, Tony!
I'm glad that you will come to Beijing soon. In order to experience traditional Chinese culture
better, I do recommend Beijing Hutong tour.
First, we're going to go sightseeing along the lanes in Hutong. The houses in Hutong are
traditional, such as Siheyuan. From them, you can imagine how people used to live. Second, we are
going to pay visits to a Hutong family. We can have lunch there and have a short talk with the local
residents, which can help you learn about many stories of the past. We can not only appreciate the
dramatic changes that Hutong has undergone, but experience the old way of life.

In short, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of pleasure and happiness. I hope that my letter
