Hi Jill

    How are you?

    Today is Christmas, it's sunny and hot here. I go to the beach with my family on Christmas Day every year.Here is a photo of my family.

    Look at our red hats, aren't they lovely? This is Father Christmas, Look at him. He wears shorts in Australia!

    How's the weather in your city? Please write and tell me about your New Year.

Yours

Amy.

    There is a new park near my house. It's a fine day today. My family and I are in the park now. On my left, there is a big tree. On my right, there is a big lake. There are many flowers and trees near the lake.

    There's a small hill behind the lake. Near the lake, there is a sign: "Don't swim in the lake!" There is a playground in the middle of the park. There are some shops near the gate. They are not big. The park is so beautiful.

    We like it very much.

My name is Zhou Dan. I'm a Chinese girl. I'm twelve. I'm in Class 1, Grade 4. There are 49 students in our class—29girls and 20 boys. We have six lessons every day. Today is Monday. We have Chinese, maths, English and PE in the morning, and science and music in the afternoon. I like English best. Mr Zhao is our English teacher. He is nice to us. We do all kinds of things in English in his class.

    My father often takes me to the zoo, because I like animals very much. It is winter. The days are getting cold. Many animals stay in their houses. The elephants are big. They like to eat vegetables and bananas. The bears are by the elephants. They are brown. They like to sleep in winter. I go to say hello to them, but I can't wake them up. There are many monkeys in the Monkey Mountain. They feel cold, and they hide in the holes. A mother monkey takes a baby monkey in her arms and makes it warm. The pandas are lovely. They stay in the warm house and eat nice food. Many other animals in the zoo are happy in winter.
