阅读理解Dear mum,
Sorry I haven't written till now. I'm travelling with my Chinese friend Li Lei in Harbin, then ice city of Heilongjiang in Northeast China. Now let me tell you something about it.
When we got here, people were so kind and they welcomed us warmly. On the first day, we saw all kinds of ice sculptures (冰雕). They looked like plants and animals, and we took lots of photos of them. Going down the longest ice slide was exciting. We watched a firework show and the lion dance at night, too.
On the second day, we watched the sunrise, and enjoyed the hot springs (泉) and barbecue s (烧烤). We also met a group of 11 lovely children from Nanning. They were having an educational (教育的) trip. They all wore bright orange clothes and were known as "Little Oranges". They stayed with the local families for a week and took part in different activities with their lead teachers. They could also learn how to look after themselves when travelling. They were so brave.
In a word, the experience in Harbin was quite exciting, meaningful and unforgettable. Let me know how you are doing in New York.
Yours,
Tom
