　　Many people clean their homes to welcome the Spring Festival. They put up the red posters with poetic verses on it to their doors, Chinese New Year pictures on their walls, and decorate their homes with red lanterns. It is also a time to reunite with relatives, so many people visit their families at this time of the year.

　　In the evening of the Spring Festival Eve, many people set off fireworks and firecrackers, hoping to cast away any bad luck and bring forth good luck. Children often receive lucky money. Many people wear new clothes and send Chinese New Year greetings to each other. Various activities such as beating drums and striking gongs, as well as dragon and lion dances, are all part of the Spring Festival festivities.

　　The Spring Festival is a national holiday in China. Government offices, schools, universities and many companies are closed during the period from the Spring Festival Eve to the seventh day of the first lunar month in the Chinese calendar. However, some enterprises such as banks often arrange for workers to be on shift duty. Public transport is available during the Chinese New Year period.

　　The red posters with poetic verses on it were initially a type of amulet (驱邪物), but now it simply means good fortune and joy. Various Chinese New Year symbols express different meanings. For example, an image of a fish symbolizes “having more than one needs every year”. A firecracker symbolizes “good luck in the coming year”. The festival lanterns symbolize “pursuing the bright and the beautiful”．

　　Dear Editor，

　　I am a Senior Three student. Recently we have carried out a survey — “To whom do you go when in trouble？” The results are as follows.

　　____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

　　Yours sincerely，

　　Li Hua

　　One possible version：

　　Dear_Editor，

　　I_am_a_Senior_Three_student._Recently_we_have_carried_out_a_survey—“To_whom_do_you_go_when_in_trouble？”_The_results_are_as_follows.

　　61% of the students surveyed select friends or schoolmates as their ideal listeners when they have trouble, the reason of which is that they are in the same age group and have a better understanding of each other. Another 22% choose teachers and parents to talk to. They suggest that teachers and parents are rich in life and educational experiences. Nevertheless, there are also 17% who don't share their troubles at all. They say that their troubles are none of others' business. Others find it hard to get along with others.

　　It is not easy to reach definite conclusions based on such a small example. However, some general comments can be made. It seems clear from the response that some students lack communication with others, and teachers and parents need to play a more important role in their lives.

　　Yours_sincerely，

　　Li_Hua
