Dear Sir or Madam,

I have learnt that you are going to hold a Chinese Painting Exhibition in your art gallery. So I’m writing to apply to be a volunteer for it. I think I am qualified for this job. I have learned Chinese painting since childhood. Therefore, I know it very well. Besides, I am fluent in both Chinese and English, which is thought to be most beneficial for introducing Chinese paintings. If I am lucky enough to be chosen as a volunteer, I can show visitors around the gallery and get them to know more about Chinese painting, bringing the painting exhibition into full play.

I would be very grateful if you could offer me the opportunity. I’m looking forward to your reply. Best regards!

Yours,

Li Hua

Dear Watson,

I’m glad to know that you are interested in Chinese traditional festivals. I’d like to introduce the Mid-autumn Festival to you.

The Mid-autumn Festival, a precious cultural heritage, is celebrated on August 15 of the lunar calendar. It is a good time to express the yearning for the hometown and relatives, and pray for harvest and happiness. Admiring the full moon is a famous custom. The bright moon is the symbol of the Mid-autumn Festival, where Chang’e and jade rabbit live according to ancient Chinese mythology. When it comes to food, there is a typical one named mooncake, inclusive of various kinds of fillings. It symbolizes reunion. In some places, people will admire osmanthus and drink osmanthus wine on this day.

I want to know of some special and important festivals in your country. I’m looking forward to hearing from

you.

Yours,

Liming
