    In Shanghai, we have warm and wet spring, hot summer, cool autumn and cold winter. But in Hainan and Guangdong, it is always warm and hot. People never see snow there. In winter, a lot of people go to Hainan and enjoy the sunshine at the beach. But some people like cold weather. In the north of China, people can make snowmen and play with snowballs. It is fun to play outside when it is snowy. That's why many people go to Harbin in winter.

    Last month, Darning and Simon went to watch a basketball game in America. They rode their bicycles to watch the game. They saw their favourite team. Their team played very well and they won. Darning and Simon ate hot dogs and drank colas for lunch. It was great.

    Now Darning is back to China with his friends. He bought his mum a book on America. It looks interesting. His mum is very happy.
