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

【1】Fires can burn down trees. They can hurt people. They are very dangerous. We must be careful with fires. What must we do when there is a fire? We must go outside quickly and never take the lift. We must call 119. We have a fire drill at school every year.

【2】A fire drill is not a real (真实的）fire. It helps us prepare (准备) for a real fire. First, the fire alarm sounds. Next we all line up in the classroom. Then we leave the classroom quickly. We mustn't run. We must leave all our things in the classroom.

【3】Then we walk down the stairs and go outside. We line up in the playground. Our teacher checks on us. We wait for the firemen to come.

Dear Mum,

    How are you?

    I'm very well in Shanghai. It's a beautiful city. I like the place. And I made a new friend. Her name is Huanhuan. She's got long and black hair. She's got big eyes. She is tall and thin. She's clever. But she is a bit shy. She likes English best. And she works hard. She often helps me. I miss you. I will be back next month.

Love,

Belinda

    I had a good day today.

    I got an A on my maths test. I felt very happy.

    There was a new girl in our class. Her name is Jia Yi. She likes playing basketball and listening to music. I was very excited to meet her. I hope we will be friends.

    After school we went to a singing competition. We sang in the competition together. We won first place, so I felt very proud.

    Hello! My name is Andy. I'm from England. I'm eleven years old. I am short. I like eating strawberries. My father is a teacher. My mother is a teacher, too. Sarah is my good friend. We study in the same school. She comes from Canada. She's ten years old. She is tall and thin and she likes oranges.
