Dear Mum,

    How are you?

    I'm very well in Shanghai. It's a beautiful city. I like the place. And I made a new friend. Her name is Huanhuan. She's got long and black hair. She's got big eyes. She is tall and thin. She's clever. But she is a bit shy. She likes English best. And she works hard. She often helps me. I miss you. I will be back next month.

Love,

Belinda

My father's day

    My father is a teacher. He teaches Chinese. He likes his job and his students. And the students like him too. He goes to work from Monday to Friday. He does not work on Saturday and Sunday. Every day, he gets up at five thirty. At six, he has breakfast. Then he goes running. He goes to school at seven. He has lunch at school. He goes home at five in the afternoon. At six o'clock, he has dinner. He doesn't watch TV. He likes reading books with me. He goes to bed at nine thirty.

    It's time for the weather forecast. In the south of China, it will be sunny in most of the cities. Tomorrow will be sunny in Changsha. And it will be cool. In Haikou, it will be sunny and warm. In the west of China, there will be a strong wind in Lanzhou. And it will rain in Yinchuan. In the north, there will be a light snow in Harbin. It's very cold. And it will rain in Beijing tomorrow.

    It's a sunny day. We are going to the nature park and having a trip. In the park, the trees are green and the flowers are blooming (开花). Some birds are singing. Some bees and butterflies are busy flying around the flowers. We also do some activities. Jacky and Tim are playing chess. Sarah is drawing pictures. And the other of my classmates are going on a picnic. I am playing with a cute dog. Whose is it? It's Miss White's. We all have a great time today!

Dear Sally,

    How are you?

    I'm in the UK now. It's hot today. I wear my yellow T-shirt and pretty white skirt. I go to the farm with my mother and sister. It's Uncle John's farm. It's big and nice. We can see many vegetables in the garden. We try some red tomatoes. They are so good. Uncle John has a lot of animals on his farm. My sister loves the horses very much. I love the cows because I love to drink milk.

Love

Jenny
