==>Oh, my goodness! How lovely! It reminds me of the state where I was born

Our mineral springs are in the south and west US.

Emily, I am so sorry I am very late with this reply.
The new lesson on technology is attached.
Do you have family reunions in China? Or perhaps reunions with friends that you haven't seen in a long time? I know you had one in the summer break. Aren't they nice? Family reunions are a frequently occuring thing in the US. I am not sure about other parts of the world.
Have a good week. I am sure you are already working on the harvest festival preparations. I am sure it will be very good.
