Dear Mike,
How is everything going？
In order to promote Chinese food culture and enrich students' campus life, our school held a food festival in the dining room last Friday.
During the activity, the cooks from our school introduced traditional styles of cooking and cooked many famous dishes like stinky tofu and Gong Bao Chicken. Many students enjoyed traditional food and watched the process of cooking. They also cooked by themselves with the help of the cooks. All the students present spoke highly of this activity which let them have a better understanding of China's rich and profound food culture.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,

"You are the lucky finder of this book. Read it, enjoy it, and then hide it again for someone else to enjoy. Please reuse this bag. Add your name inside the cover（封面）and let's see how many can find it!"
Isn't it a wonderful idea I must tell you the woman behind it-Carla. She is a mother of five children. With so many young readers at home, she has a bookcase（书柜）full of already-read books.
One day, she decided to recycle them in a fun way-hiding them around the town. Soon, other people in the town started joining it, and hiding their own books. With Book Hide-and-Seek, our town has turned into an open-air library!
Book Hide-and-Seek is so interesting. I hope there will be more programs like this for people to join.
