Dear Gina,

    How is everything with you？I miss you very much. I arrived in Xi'an three months ago. At first I felt very sad. I had no friends. I could speak little Chinese, and I didn't know what to do. I felt very lonely at that time. But my Chinese teacher helped me. He is very nice and friendly. He not only gave me many suggestions about how to learn Chinese, but also helped me a lot in my life. Now, I live happily. On weekends, I often go to some villages with my classmates to do some farm work. Sometimes we help the poor students there. We give them books and play with them. Now I'm so happy. As my teacher says, “Happiness is in your heart, but you need to find it.”

    Please give my best wishes to your parents!

Yours,

Mona
