Dear John,

    How are you? Last night we went to a show. The actors danced with us. They sang lots of songs. It was very nice. We laughed a lot.

    I am going to see you in three weeks. We can go to the show together.

    See you soon.

Mike

Dear Xiaowei,

    Thanks for your present (礼物). It is very beautiful. What's the weather like in Guangzhou now? Is it very cold? It's now winter (冬天) in Guangzhou. But in Australia, it is summer(夏天). So it is quite hot here. The temperature is from 34C to 37C today. And it rains a lot. I have to stay at home. The weather report says it will be much hotter next week. And the typhoon(台风) is coming, too. I don't like the rainy days. What about you? The winter holiday(寒假) is coming in Guangzhou. What are you going to do?

    Please write to me soon.

    Best wishes.

Yours,

Sally

Daming: Simon, What are you doing?

Simon: I'm reading a book about spaceship.

Daming: I'm interested in it, too. May I have a look at it?

Simon: Of course. Look, this is Shenzhou V. It took a man into space for the first time.

Daming: I know. Yang Liwei was the first Chinese astronaut into space.

Simon: Yes, and now he is very famous.

Daming: And I want to be an astronaut like him one day.
