Sample Letter: Festival

Sample 1

Dear friend,

How are you doing? As for me, I am fine. In your letter, you described the celebration of a traditional festival in England. It is amazing!

There are a lot of different traditional festivals in Ukraine. My favourite is Kupala. THE Festival starts late in the evening from 6 to 7 July. All of the people gather on the beach and jump over the fire in my city. Girls weave wreaths and throw them into the river. There is also music and people can dance. There are many tents with food and drinks.

The holiday of Kupala originated in the times of paganism. It symbolizes the union of water and fire, which gives rise to life and prosperity of nature.

I spend this festival with friends on the beach. I don`t weave wreaths, but I jump over the fire. I also like to dance with friends. I enjoy every minute of the festival. I hope you enjoy the story of the festival.

Best wishes,

Nina Dobrev

Hi Veronica,

Thanks for your letter. I hope you are well . It was so exciting to read your letter!

My favorite festival called "A-Fest". It IS held in our city only IN summers and winters. Festival origin is simple. Nowadays there are a lot of people who are fond of Asian culture. So they want to make more people informed about this. Unfortunately, THE majority of Ukrainians know only some Japanese dishes ,but it is not the only one Asia is famous for.

Crowds of children, youth and adults can relax and enjoy three crazy festival days. They listen to Japanese vocal, watch traditional Chinese dance. There are a lot of dance teams who prepare stunning performances. Festival sponsors offer a wide range of Asian dishes. You can get closer with traditional Asian culture here! Tasting Japanese, Korean ,Chinese and even Thai cuisine includes rice and rolls, different soups ,salads and kinds of noodles with sour or sweet sauce. Sounds yummy! Usually I spend these weekends with my friends. We eat spicy dishes. My favorite is rice noodles with pieces of chicken and vegetables. I like singing traditional Asian songs. The highlight of the 'A-Fest' is free Japanese rice balls for all visitors.

I recommend you this festival. I hope we will meet there next year! See you soon Best wishes, Kate
