Dear John,
I hope you are doing well. I am writing to give you some information about the New
Year
, and I hope your college project can be done well.
When it comes to New Year
, it definitely is the most imperative festival in Taiwan. New Year
is not only the symbol of the new start of the year
but also
a meaningful period in which citizens have six to nine days to enjoy time
with their relatives
and friends. There are a few ways for New Year
. Firstly
, visiting relatives
and having significant reunions with family or friends during that time
is becoming a must-do activity. Secondly
, individuals are accustomed to celebrating from the eve of New Year
gathering together to have a rich dinner and staying up late until midnight, leading to good luck for the next year
. Finally
, when people visit their relatives
, while
red envelopes given with even amount of money is a traditional custom, red envelopes are regarded as a sign of blessing, which is a way of giving them to the younger generation.
Every time
right after New Year
, I cannot wait for the next year
because I can see and bond with my family, relatives
, and immigrated friends, and receive red envelopes. New Year
is one of my favourite festivals to unwind and enjoy the welfare of a long vacation.
I hope this
information works for you.
If you want further
information, feel free to contact me at any time
.
Best Regards,
