  Whenever the festival draws near, Chinese people make some preparations and take part in all kinds of activities, like singing and dancing. As every Chinese person knows, families get together on the day of the festival and eat tangyuan. In the evening, people go out to look at the bright and colorful lanterns, which is relaxing and pleasant. In some parts of China, people take part in activities, such as guessing riddles, walking on stilts and doing lion dancing.
  On the whole, the Lantern Festival is an important festival in China, just like the Spring Festival.

試題分析：題目要求寫一篇文章，向美國朋友Tom介紹中國傳統節日--元宵節。寫作時注意用上所給參考詞匯；使用第一人稱進行寫作；注意拼寫、標點和時態的正確使用。可以分為三部分來寫。第一部分總寫，介紹什么是元宵節；第二部分寫元宵節的慶祝活動；第三部分總結。
亮點說明：范文使用了較難的語法知識：時間狀語從句Whenever the festival draws near；非限制性定語從句which is relaxing and pleasant和As every Chinese person knows；定語從句和狀語從句的使用，給作文增色很多；范文使用了較多的短語：falls on, draws near, make some preparations, take part in, get together, such as等，使文章內容充實；范文還注意使用As every Chinese person knows, In the evening, In some parts of China, On the whole等來銜接前后句和上下文。
