Dear Peter，

    Thank you for your letter. 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 the ice. It's very interesting to skate. I like winter best.

    You ask me when it is the best time to come to China. 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 too cold in winter. I have to finish this letter now. Ask your brother to come to China with you together. Welcome to Beijing soon.

Yours，

Jim

    A thin thief

    Look! There is a thief. He is thin and tall. He is very thirsty. He is drinking a bottle of water. He has a big grey bag on his back. What's in his bag? Let's go and stop him. Open the bag. Look! There is a red telephone in the bag. Whose telephone is this? Maybe it's Grandma's. She can't find her telephone. Look! There is a new mobile phone(手机), too. Whose mobile phone is it? Let's ask the thief. The thief is very afraid. He says it's a policeman's mobile phone. He wants to give it back to the policeman. He wants to give the telephone to an old lady, too. He is on his way to the police station. How is the thief?

    I have a happy family. My father is a worker. My mother is a teacher. Look! This is my sister, she is a nurse. My brother is a doctor. I am a pupil. My grandpa and grandma are old. They are at home.

    Look at this photo(照片). This woman is my mother. She is 34. This man is my father. He is 35. This girl is my sister. She is 11. The little boy is me. I am 8. I love them. And they love me very much.

    I have two friends. They're Tom and Ben. They're brothers. They're from England. Tom and Ben are tall. Tom has a round face and big eyes. Ben has a nice nose and small eyes. Tom has yellow hair. And Ben has yellow hair, too. Tom likes reading books. Ben likes playing computer games. They both like playing basketball.
