Hello，I'm Linda. I live in New York. There are three people in my family. They are my parents and me. My father is a businessman. He works in a car company. My mother is a math teacher. She is pretty. And she is very kind to her students. They all like her. On Sunday，we often go hiking with cameras because we like taking pictures.

    Last Sunday was Father's Day. I went to my grandparents' home with my father and mother. In the morning，we cooked delicious food and ate a big dinner. In the afternoon, we gave nice presents to fathers and took many pictures in the garden. I was very happy!

    Mrs Mill goes to London. She doesn't know London well, and she loses her way. Suddenly, she sees a man near a bus stop. "I can ask him the way," she says to herself. "Excuse me, can you tell me the way to King Street?" she asks. The man smiles. He doesn't understand English. He's a tourist. He puts his hand into his pocket, and takes out a phrasebook (常用语手册). He opens the book and finds a phrase. He reads the phrase slowly. "I'm sorry," he says. "I do not speak English."

Dear Peter,

    Thank you for your letter and some wonderful stamps. I like them very much. I also collect stamps. I'm sending some Monkey King stamps to you. I thing you'll like them.

    Now I'm going to answer some of your questions. You ask me about the weather in Beijing in winter. It's quite cold and it often snows in winter. After snowing the ground is white. And I can skate on ice. It's very interesting to skate. I like winter best.

    You ask me when the best time to come to China is. I think the best time to come to China is in spring or in fall. It's often too hot in summer and it's cold in winter. I have to finish this letter now. Ask your brother to come to China with you. Welcome to Beijing soon.

Yours,

Li Lei
