Hi, Xiaoling,

    Thanks so much for inviting me to visit you in China I can't wait to see you. I am very excited to stay with your family. But I can't speak Chinese at all. Please teach me. I know China is very big. And the Chinese food is very famous. I can't wait to try all the delicious food. And there is a lot of natural beauty in China. I really want to see the beautiful lakes and waterfalls in China. I finally got my passport last Monday and I booked my plane ticket yesterday. I will arrive at Baiyun Airport on July 10th. The plane lands at 2:00 pm. I'm so excited.

    See you then, Janet.

    My name is Lily. This is my house. There are five rooms in my house. This is my father and mother's room. There are three pictures on the wall. There is a desk near the window. There are two chairs behind the desk. On the left of the room, there is a toilet. On the right, it's my room. There are four pictures and a poster on the wall.

    I'm Lisa. I'm ten years old. It's sunny and warm outside. I get up at 6:00 am. I go to shoe shop with my mom and dad in the morning. I want a pair of new shoes. I try on the new shoes of size five but they are too small. Then I try size six and they are just right. So I take them. They are very pretty but in the afternoon we go to my Grandpa's house. We have dinner at 6:30p.m.We eat tomatoes, green beans, fish, chicken, beef and noodles. And we have a very big birthday cake, too. What a big dinner! It's really a nice birthday for me. I'm very happy with my family.
