Every May in Chinese lunar calendar is Dragon Boat Festival, do you know anything about it? Let me speak for you.

Once upon a time, there was a patriotic poet Qu Yuan, once he went to Beijing to go to work, see a decline of state variable, then vote Miluo River to commit suicide. Before he died, he wrote a poem. People in order to commemorate the patriotic poet, the annual Lunar New Year in May at the beginning of a dragon boat festival.

The main contents of the Dragon Boat Festival is the dragon boat racing, zongzi.

Dragon boat racing scene is very lively, crowded shore. Just listen to the sound of gunfire, paddled boat people desperately, but the river is full of cheering.

Rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves, is for filling, with glutinous rice. When the package is very sticky, not professionals, but the package is not good!

According to legend, the dragon boat race is to salvage the Miluo River to die of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Threw rice dumplings into the river, is to let the fish and shrimp to eat, not eat Qu Yuans body.

The Dragon Boat Festival comes from the story of qu yuan, a patriotic poet qu yuan out a good idea to rich countries qiangming, but not adopted by the king, he was kicked out of the palace. Qu yuan was so angry that he jumped into the miluo river. The local fisherman learned that he rowed a boat to the miluo river to the miluo river. Later, the bamboo tube was changed to zongzi, and the boat was changed to the dragon boat to commemorate qu yuan. Our family is very impressed with qu yuan, so we celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival every year.

The traditional custom of the Dragon Boat Festival is eating zongzi. Our family has a really good zongzi -- my mother. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, our whole family can eat delicious dumplings. Momma always said: the rice dumplings with reeds are the most fragrant. Therefore, every year, the mother of the Dragon Boat Festival USES the leaves of the reed to make zongzi. Before making zongzi, she prepared herself: boil the leaves of the reeds in the water and wash them separately. When the reed leaves were cold, she began to make zongzi. Her first three leaf, this three leaves into a cone, then put a date first, and then put on inside glutinous rice, middle to clip a few dates, the last thread tied leaves, a rice dumplings wrapped. Her dumplings are fat and big, like the old Buddha sleeping. After the dumplings have finished, mom put them in a pressure cooker for 40 minutes, then another three or four hours to make it taste and then eat it! My mothers dumplings are very fragrant, so that when I see the zongzi, I will eat them. So, when eating zongzi, I always eat a lot!

The Dragon Boat Festival besides the need to eat zongzi, also the dragon boat!

I like watching dragon boat RACES the most, and dozens of mariners, with their OARS, struggling to make their way to the drum, beat the drum and beat the drum. "Come on, come on! The outside cheerleaders were enthusiastic, thundering and cheering, and the sailors were forced to row harder. The scene of the dragon boat race was spectacular and enthusiastic.

Eating zongzi and racing dragon boat racing, the two traditional customs jointly knit together a hot and noisy Dragon Boat Festival.

The computer is a wonderful machine. They are already widely used in industries and in universities. They are used in many ways.

Computerscan do many kinds of work. For example, computers can helps us do maths problems quickly. Some problems are too hard for us to work them out, but computers can. A scientist can ask computers some questions, and the computers can answer on the screen.

In a car-factory computer tells the robots how to do with the cars.

Computers are very useful. So many parents buy computers for their children. They hope computers can help them improve their studies in school, but some children don’t do as what parents want them to do. Because they used the computers for surfing on the Internet and spend too much time playing computer games instead of learning. It does not good for their eyesight. So their parents complain about computers not help children to study but also make them fall behind.

In many companies computers instead of workers to work. So many people lose their jobs. So many workers think computers bring them a lot of trouble.

If computers are good for us or bad for us it’s hard to say so I hope computers will be used in the right way.

每年的端午节我们都要吃粽子、赛龙舟、悬艾叶、我最喜欢看赛龙舟的比赛了，这比赛并不是为了争谁第一水第二，是为了在观众面前展示他们娴熟的技能与美好的姿态。

We will eat dumplings, dragon boat race, hanging mugwort leaf, the annual Dragon Boat Festival, I most like to watch dragon boat racing game, the game is not to argue over who first water second, in order to demonstrate their skills and good attitude in front of the audience.

我先来说说粽子吧。粽子是用墨绿色的芦叶包裹着糯米和枣子。煮熟后，剥开芦叶，只见米团里仿佛镶着几颗深红油亮的玛瑙，很好看。粽子的的味道美极了，芦叶散发着清香，咬一口粽子，甜而不腻。

Let me first talk about dumplings. Dumplings are made of dark green reed leaf wrapped glutinous rice and dates. Cooked, peeled reed leaves, I saw the M group with a few red and shiny like agate, very nice. Dumplings are delicious, reed leaf fragrance, a bite of rice dumplings, sweet but not greasy.

粽子还有一个悠久的故事。传说吃粽子是为了纪念古代诗人屈原。屈原一生写过许多着名的诗篇，提出过许多爱国的政治主张，但是君王不采纳。后来君王沦丧，他满怀忧愤跳江自尽。人民还念他，崇敬他。两千多年来，人们把粽子投入江中，当做献给诗人的祭品。——这就是粽子的由来。是的，每逢端午节，人们怎么会忘记伟大的诗人屈原呢?

Rice also had a long story. Legend eat dumplings is to commemorate the ancient poet Qu Yuan. Throughout his life Qu Yuan wrote many famous poems, put forward many patriotic political views, but the king does not accept. Then the king had fallen, he was full of anger jumped into the river. People miss him, worship him. Over the past two thousand years, people threw rice dumplings into the river, as for poets. -- this is the origin of rice dumplings. Yes, during the Dragon Boat Festival, how can people forget the great poet Qu Yuan?

民谚说：“清明插柳，端午插艾”。在端午节，人们把插艾和菖蒲作为重要内容之一。家家都洒扫庭除，以菖蒲、艾条插于门眉，悬于堂中。并用菖蒲、艾叶、榴花、蒜头、龙船花，制成人形或虎形，称为艾人、艾虎;制成花环、佩饰，美丽芬芳，妇人争相佩戴，用以驱瘴。

Proverb said: "Ching Ming inserted Liu, Dragon Boat inserted AI". During the Dragon Boat Festival, people put the mugwort and calamus as one of important content. Everybody sasao addition, calamus, AI inserted in the door eyebrow, hanging in the hall. And calamus, Wormwood Leaves, pomegranate, garlic, Ixora, make humanoid or tiger shaped, called AI, Ai Hu; made garlands, accessories, beauty and fragrance, woman eager to wear, to drive malaria.

艾，又名家艾、艾蒿。它的茎、叶都含有挥发性芳香油。它所产生的奇特芳香，可驱蚊蝇、虫蚁，净化空气。中医学上以艾入药，有理气血、暖子宫、祛寒湿的功能。将艾叶加工成“艾绒”，是灸法治病的重要药材。

“有菱有角，有心有肝，一身清贫，半世熬煎。”你们猜这个谜语是什么?对了，就是粽子!

端午节那天，妈妈一大早起来就开始包粽子，爸爸负责给家人们打电话，邀请他们一起到我们家吃粽子。看妈妈忙得“轰轰烈烈”，我问妈妈粽子是什么馅料的啊?妈妈说“红红火火大枣馅”。只见妈妈把一个枣包在粽米里，最后拿叶子包裹起来。包好之后，妈妈把它们一个一个地放到蒸锅中。过了一会，粽子蒸好了，一共有两大锅呢!空气中弥漫出粽子的香味。妈妈看看表，说：“时间到了!”我深吸了一口气，惊叹地说：“哇，好香啊!”

这时传来当当当的敲门声，开门一看，哇，有爷爷、奶奶、姥姥、姥爷、姐姐都来了!爸爸搬来大桌子，放到客厅，妈妈把粽子放到桌子中间，我们一人一个凳子，一人一双筷子一个碗，准备开吃。但是我现在不能吃，因为长辈们还在洗手呢，长辈不吃，我们晚辈是不能吃的。过了一会，长辈们洗完了手，我们坐在一起，开始吃妈妈包的粽子。

我看奶奶开始吃了，我就迫不及待地开吃了，我一大口咬下去：“烫烫烫!”妈妈说：“别着急，还有呢，又没人跟你抢!”吃了一会，姐姐过来说：“我给你们拍一张照，然后发到朋友圈吧!”爸爸扭过头说：“啊?又拍照啊!我不想照。”妈妈说：“照相啊?我没化妆呢!”我焦急地说：“姐姐拍我，我好看!”其实，我嘴上全是糯米粒。于是，姐姐就咔嚓照了一张，又点来点去地发到朋友圈。我问姐姐：“拍完了吗?我继续吃啦!”姐姐点点头，我又大口大口地吃我还没吃完的粽子，不得不说妈妈包的粽子实在太好吃了!

吃粽子是中华文明中的习俗，我喜欢吃粽子，更喜欢吃妈妈包的粽子!

我喜欢团团圆圆的中秋节，也喜欢热热闹闹的春节，但我更喜欢家乡的端午节。

端午节前几天，妈妈带我去超市买包粽子的材料，如绿豆、五花肉、粽叶、糯米。买完东西后我们又去了小姑姑家，邀请小姑姑们来我家过端午节。

回到家，妈妈和我们就开始忙碌起来。妈妈先洗锅烧水，把粽叶放到锅里煮软，接着把糯米和绿豆分别放到盆子里用温水浸泡半天，把买回来的五花肉切成长条，放盆子里加上调料腌制备用。然后把煮软的粽叶用冷水清洗干净，放漏网里晾干。这个时候绿豆和糯米也泡好了，妈妈把糯米清洗干净捞出来，晾干水分，让我们我们把绿豆皮搓掉，因为有皮不好吃。在搓绿豆皮的时候，如果搓久了手就会又红又痒，我才搓了不久就开始抱怨道：“哼!这么难搓，我不搓了。”小姑姑们就安慰我说：“这么小的困难你就放弃了，加油，我们一起搓。”经过我们一起坚持不懈的努力，终于把绿豆皮搓干净了。在床上好这些，妈妈就开始交教我们包粽子。妈妈告诉我们左手拿粽叶，右手拿勺子把糯米挖到粽叶上，再在糯米上盖上一层绿豆，把五花肉放在绿豆的中间，接着再盖上一层糯米，用绳子把粽叶困起来。放到锅里煮几个小时就闻到了粽子的香味，馋的我们垂涎三尺。

我们问妈妈：“粽子可以吃了吗?”妈妈说：“小馋货们，可以了。”听了这话，我们高兴得跳了起来，我挑了一个最大的粽子，把绳子解开，再把粽叶剥开。我看着那黄黄的糯米上有许多绿豆，好像一件黄色带绿点的小花裙。我咬了一大口，这糯米一点儿也不口，又香又甜，里面还有我爱吃的肉。

我喜欢端午节，每次都能吃到妈妈和我们一起包的粽子，真是太幸福啦!

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival in the 5th day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. Every year, aunt will pack lots of delicious food. Sweet sweet jujube dumplings for us, especially my mother and I like it best. You can also eat with your elders and sisters at your grandmothers house, and enjoy the Dragon Boat Festival, but this year, it is not so lively. Uncle and aunt went out to earn money. Uncle went out with his sister. There were only three family members and grandparents. It looks very cold.

Early this morning, I have the mother will give me to eat dumplings package dates, who knows but mother was busy with housework. At noon, dad cooked a good meal and cooked food, called grandpa and grandma to come to dinner, but not a bit of a cheerful atmosphere. In the afternoon, in order not to let the festival have a little meaning, my mother and I went out for a stroll with my grandmother. We went to the market, but did not see the shadow of half of the dumplings, to buy dumplings but no jujube. I was disappointed. My mother comforted me and said, "next time you see the decision to sell the zongzi, you can eat it." Its a little better to hear that. Mom visited the clothing store and took us to the home supermarket, and bought some delicious food on the way. From the supermarket out, we have been fruitful.

Back home, I wanted my uncle and aunt, and my four year old sister, so I went online to chat with them, and the little aunt laughed and told me that a lot of jujube zongzi was given to me at the Dragon Boat Festival next year, so I could eat enough. Though we have not been together for Dragon Boat Festival this year, we can also enjoy seeing them online. Uncle and aunt also have an appointment with me. Next year, Dragon Boat Festival will definitely come back for the holidays.

Away from the books to bring me heavy,away from the results brought me the blow,running, toward the field,enjoy nature, return to nature.

The golden fields are filled with this years grain bumper harvest.May be in this calm field,but came a uninvited guest:grasshopper.It is also known as locusts,will change the color of rice and change their own color,eating crops in the field.So the National Day holiday,I and my brother can not wait to come to the edge of the fields,line up sleeves, rolled up pants,rushed into the field, began to rectify the “pest”.

The fields are bouncing grasshopper everywhere,Gu got this only, and refused to take that only. Soon we will be exhausted.Helpless,I and my brother had to sit on the ridge,to discuss countermeasures.After the footsteps,we began to work together:I refer to the grasshopper where my brother caught the grasshopper, caught the grasshopper by me pulling off the spring-like legs,and then to watch.With a specific program, grasshopper immediately planted.Blink of an eye, a few grasshopper has become my playing things.I am leisurely to play,my brother struggling to catch the grasshopper in the field,he slowly unconvinced, sitting on the ridge,that must be with me to catch grasshopper.I can not say that he had to catch the grasshopper with him.

I looked at a grasshopper,quietly walked over, suddenly a beat,grasshopper has jumped to my head,my brother called me do not move,a slap on my head,but the grasshopper jumped to the His head,I retaliated for him,suddenly a beat,the grasshopper suddenly jumped into the field,blink of an eye, gone.But I and my brothers “hatred” but also offset.

Perhaps my mind is too narrow, God determined to give me a retribution:when we once again into the “war”, my feet were “hidden” up the soil stumbled twisted,I fell on the thick straw People all right,but the straw is down a large.Perhaps my screams alerted the owner, the owner flew out from the house, we turned and ran,and finally hid in a pile of weeds, escaped,but the mosquito bite a few packets.

This happened during the National Day is really interesting,I remember the golden river from the addition of a brilliant luster!

Today is the fifth day of May -- the Dragon Boat Festival, it is often said that the weight of five. I asked grandpa: "the Dragon Boat Festival is how come?" Grandpa said: "the Dragon Boat Festival is in memory of the ancient Chinese patriot Qu Yuan. When Qu Yuan was in court officials, but the villains in power, and the court. Qu Yuan did not want to see a country annihilated, arms stone, cast into the Miluo river. The people in the state after hearing the news, their boat rescue. From then on, there will be the festival of the Dragon Boat Festival.

"Shijie,." At this time, the mother ordered. I went to the kitchen and asked, "Mom, what do you do?" "wrap the rice dumplings!" mom said.. "This work, which I do?" I said. Mother said: let your bag, you pack, mother the teacher in! "I promised:" OK! "I pick up the bamboo leaves, study like a mother, bamboo rolled into a cylindrical shape, and then a small spoon dig meters installed in the cylinder, wrap the dumplings with bamboo, tied with colored thread. My mother and I have a partnership to wrap up the rice dumplings, and then we have to steam it.. Soon the rice dumplings out of the pot, eating the dumplings wrapped in their own hands, heart than eating honey sweet.

I like the Dragon Boat Festival, but also like to wrap the rice dumplings, eat rice dumplings.

[端午节的优秀英语作文

May Day that day, I meet my brother and younger brother to play in the riverside wetland park. Im very glad to get off when Im singing while jumping down.

So many people in the park! Some fly a kite, some play in the water, and watch the scenery. My favorite is the reeds. The green reeds sway in the wind, as if to welcome us; There were a few wild duck in the reeds, swam to busy to catch fish and shrimp eat; Little dragonfly fly tired, fell on the reeds, pointed to rest!

The park is really fun, we had a happy May Day.

五一节这天，我相约哥哥和弟弟去滨河湿地公园玩。我非常高兴，下车时我是一边哼着歌一边蹦下去的。

公园里的人真多哪!有的放风筝、有的在水边玩耍、还有的观赏风景。我最喜欢的就是芦苇荡。绿油油的芦苇荡随风摇摆，好像是在欢迎我们的到来;还有几只野鸭在芦苇丛中游来游去，正忙着捉鱼虾吃;小蜻蜓飞累了，落在芦苇尖上休息呢!

公园里可真好玩，我们过了个快乐的五一节。

“但愿人长久，千里共婵娟”诠释了诗人对离散亲人的思念;“遥知兄弟登高处，遍插茱萸少一人”寄托了异地游子对家乡的眷恋;“节分端午自谁言，万古传闻为屈原”抒发了一个民族对生命的感悟……拥有五千年文明的中华民族，在百花齐放的世界文化大观园中，独树一帜，优秀的民族文化代代相传。

端午节，作为中国古老文化节日之一，不管在大江南北、长城内外可谓是家喻户晓，人人皆知。在今天，端午节仍然拥有着强大的生命力，它让我们想到那透着浓浓竹叶清香的粽子，那划过水面浩浩荡荡的龙舟，那玲珑可爱的香囊……

端午节，一个节日何以延续两千年?它已不仅是一个单纯的节日，当你想到那个“纵合则楚王，横成则秦帝”的时代，想到那个面容枯槁、行吟河畔的楚大夫，想到《离骚》《九章》《天问》，想到爱国爱民、嫉恶如仇、宁死不屈……你是否发现，原来那沉向江底的粽子恰恰是民族文化的积淀，那驰于江面的龙舟托起的正是炽热的灵魂。端午节，是心灵的节日，是一个民族对于生命的最高礼赞!

当越来越多的人开始欣赏圣诞节、情人节等“洋节”而不重视中国传统节日时，当我们知道韩国向联合国申报端午节为他们的国家文化遗产成功时，我们惊讶，我们愤怒，但我们更应该重新去审视我们中华文化的博大精深。一个没有历史文化的民族是苍白的，一个不懂得尊重历史文化的民族是可悲的。亡羊补牢，晚与不晚都是必须要做的努力。怎么能让中华儿女在未来欢庆韩国端午节!几千年的咀嚼，那些传统节日，早已不再是一个个单纯的日子，它牵系的是一个民族的情感，是一颗跳动的民族心。

浩浩荡荡的龙舟扬起千千万万人民的思慕与怀念，泛在历史长河上，成为端午节最激昂的呐喊;小小香囊的幽香携着千千万万人民的眷恋与赞美，弥漫在历史长河上，成为端午节最真切的味道;青青的枝叶包裹起千千万万人民的崇敬和思念，投入历史的长河中，成为端午节最深沉的纪念……端午节，是心灵的节日，是民族的纪念，是文化的积淀!

Last week, our teacher gave us a task. We needed to interview some people

and collect different opinions. At first, I felt it a difficult task, because I

was such a shy person that I dared not to talk to strangers. In order to finish

the task, I cooperated with my classmates. They helped me to ask people for a

second, then I started to talk with them in a comfortable way. I felt much eased

soon and no longer felt shy. Now I get over my fear and become stronger. This is

the good sign of growing up. I am so thankful to my classmates. Without their

help, I wont go that far.

A Chinese holiday is gaining worldwide popularity

Some holidays are so much fun that they catch on outside of their culture. The most obvious example is probably Christmas, which is celebrated around the world by people who arent even Christian. Similarly, in recent years, the Dragon Boat Festival has moved beyond China to become an international holiday celebrated by people who may know little about the holidays origins.

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of three major Chinese holidays, along with the Spring and Moon Festivals. Of the three, it is possibly the oldest, dating back to the Warring States Period in 227 B.C. The festival commemorates Qu Yuan, a minister in the service of the Chu Emperor. Despairing over corruption at court, Qu threw himself into a river. Townspeople jumped into their boats and tried in vain to save him. Then, hoping to distract hungry fish from his body, the people scattered rice on the water.

Over the years, the story of Qus demise transformed into the traditions of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi – a kind of rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. The races have certainly captured the imagination of people from all over the world. Every spring there are nearly 60 dragon boat races held outside of China in cities from Vancouver to Sydney, from Gdańsk, Poland to Cape Town, South Africa. Canada alone has nearly 50 dragon boat teams and Germany has nearly 30.

So what is it about the Dragon Boat Festival that appeals to foreigners? “Its an unusual sport,” says one racer from Germany. “Its not like everybodys doing it. Thats one of the reasons that theres such great team spirit in a dragon boat team – everybody feels like were doing something special.” And what about the zongzi? “Ehhh, theyre not bad, I guess,” he says. “Something of an acquired taste. I just havent really acquired it yet.”

Spring Festival is coming,I am very happy.On this winter holiday,I went to

visit my grandparents with my parents. My grandmother is very zeal.Our dinner is

very delicious.After the dinner,the people gave me money in red envelopes.I am

very happy in this family with my grandparents.

Sometimes,we go to climb the mountains.The mountain is very high.Look!There

is a clean river near the mountain.And there are some beautiful flowers,grass

and big trees.Some trees are orange trees,the others are banana trees.Oh,I am

very tired but interesting.

I am very happy on this holiday because I like Spring Festival very

much.What about you?

据说，端午节吃粽子和赛龙舟的习俗，是为了纪念我国历史上伟大的诗人屈原，也正是因为如此解放后曾把端午节定名为“诗人节”。

It is said that the Dragon Boat Festival to eat rice dumplings and the custom of the dragon boat race, is to commemorate the great poet Qu Yuan in the history of our country, it is precisely because of this liberation after the Dragon Boat Festival had to be called "the poet festival".

屈平(约公元前339年～约公元前278年)字原，通常称为屈原，又自云名正则，字灵均，汉族，战国末期楚国丹阳(今湖北秭归)人，楚武王熊通之子屈瑕的后代。屈原虽忠事楚怀王，但却屡遭排挤，怀王死后又因顷襄王听信谗言而被流放，最终投汨罗江而死。

Qu Ping (about 339 BC to about 278 BC) the original word, commonly known as Qu Yuan, and since the cloud a regular character works, Warring States Chu Han, Danyang (now Hubei Zigui) people. The king of Chu Xiong Tongzhi sub Qu Xia offspring. Although Qu Yuan Zhong things chuhuai Wang, but was excluded, Huai Wang died because of the Qing Xiang Wang listen to him and exiled, the Miluo River to die.

屈原是中国最伟大的浪漫主义诗人之一，也是我国已知最早的著名诗人，世界文化名人。他创立了“楚辞”这种文体，也开创了“香草美人”的传统。代表作品有《离骚》《九歌》等。

Qu Yuan is one of the greatest Romantic poet Chinese famous poet, is Chinas earliest known, the world cultural celebrities. He founded the "songs of Chu" this kind of style, has also created a "beauty" of the traditional. Representative works are "Lisao" "Nine Songs" etc..

在我国历史上，端午节是为了纪念屈原的说法已经有1500多年的历史了。相传，屈原投汨罗江后，当地百姓闻讯马上划船捞救，一直行至洞庭湖，始终不见屈原的尸体。那时，恰逢雨天，湖面上的小舟一起汇集在岸边的亭子旁。当人们得知是为了打捞贤臣屈大夫时，再次冒雨出动，争相划进茫茫的洞庭湖。为了寄托哀思，人们荡舟江河之上，此后才逐渐发展成为龙舟竞赛。百姓们又怕江河里的鱼吃掉他的身体，就纷纷回家拿来米团投入江中，以免鱼虾糟蹋屈原的尸体，后来就成了吃粽子的习俗。

In the history of our country, the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuans argument has a history of over 1500 years. According to legend, after Qu Yuan Miluo River, local people heard the news immediately put out a fishing boat, to the Dongting Lake, still do not see the body of Qu Yuan. At that time, coincides with the rainy days, the boat on the lake in the pavilion collection together. When people learned to salvage bowed doctor, out in the rain again, vast Dongting Lake. In their grief, people boating on the river, then gradually developed into the Dragon Boat race. People are afraid of the fish in the river to eat his body, have brought home in ancient group into the river, so as not to fish and spoil the body of Qu Yuan, and later became the custom of eating dumplings.

Sharing bike can be seen in every corner of the street, which is very

popular by the public. The foreigners speak highly of sharing bike, because they

can ride the bikes to look around the city and the expense is very cheap. As

people enjoy the convenience of these bikes, the problem comes. We can see that

many bikes have been broken and some are even put in the main road, which brings

trouble to the public. Of course when the media reported the phenomenon,

everybody condemned the negative behavior. Sharing bikes are public property,

all the people have the responsibility to protect them, so after using them, we

should just find a right place to lock them. The small act can present a

person’s nature, so dont let yourself be the rude one.

Dear Sarah,

I am terribly sorry to tell you that I am unable to attend your birthday

part next Thursday evening. That is owing to the fact that my younger brother

suddenly fell ill and was taken to a hospital this morning. I have to go there

immediately and take care of him. As told by the doctor in charge, it will take

around five days for him to recover and I have asked my boss for a leave.

I really regret that I cannot go to celebrate your birthday personally and

would miss the perfect chance of enjoying myself with all our old friends. I

have chosen a small gift for you and will send it to you tomorrow to show my

best wishes. Besides, please give my regards to our friends when you meet them

at the party.

Cordially,

Li Ming
