The Chinese Spring Festival usually makes two records: the most people who watch the Spring Festival Gala and the busiest telecommunications network(通信网络).
Chinese usually visit families and friends and pass on good wishes in person during the Spring Festival, now the Chinese have been used to sending greetings(问候) through their cell phones.
At the same time, the country now has 671 million Internet users,about 75% of them can use the Internet through their cell phones. For them, staying online tweeting(发微博) about greetings is as important as watching the Spring Festival Gala.
According to Sina , one of the biggest websites in China, Weibo users sent 28977 mails during Chinese new year. “Saying ‘Happy New Year’ on Weibo has become a new custom,” it said.
For the country’s 233 million 3G or 4G users, Weixin is very popular. It can send voice messages and more kinds of new greetings. It’s quite easy and cheap,too. A survey showed that about one fourth of 7,854 respondents(受访者) said before the Spring Festival they would use Weixin to send greetings.
However, paying a visit in person and sending short messages are still the most popular choices for New Year greetings.

Dear Mr. Price,
I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service. This makes what happened last Saturday even more disappointing(失望).
It was my son’s birthday so we booked a non-smoking table at your restaurant for 7:30 p.m. We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready. At 8:00 p.m., we were given a table in the smoking area. I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables. A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy.
Our first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful. She gave us free drinks for waiting so long. Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty. When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a dead cockroach(蟑螂)in her vegetables. She was shocked and wanted to leave. At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic(作料).When we told her it had legs, she apologized
(="said" sorry) and took the food away.
We asked for the pay for my wife’ s meal bill, expecting not to pay for my wife’s meal. Nobody came. After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager. The headwaiter told us that you were on holiday. I complained again about the horrible cockroach. He told me Janet had finished work. He didn’t believe my story and gave me a bill for three meals. I argued with him but was forced(被迫)to pay.
The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite headwaiter and a full refund(退款)for our meal. It cost $68. Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending it to anyone.
You can contact me at 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information.
Thank you for your attention.
Yours sincerely,
Raymond Yuen

On a hot African morning, Leila was lying on her stomach and an elephant was walking towards her. Leila waited. Then she pushed the button on her camera. “And I got my best photo of an elephant ever, by lying under my car,” Leila explained. “I wanted to get close to the elephants, but of course this was dangerous; they had their babies with them.
