Hi, Sam! I'm happy to hear that you are taking a trip to Beijing again. We can have fun together soon. In your email, you say you want to take a trip around Beijing. Well, Beijing is the capital of China. So it is a very beautiful city. It has a long history. There are many great places to visit. Do you like the Great Wall? If you do, we can go to Huanghuacheng Great Wall. It's 70km from the city centre. Huanghuacheng is different from Badaling. It's a place with hills and lakes. You love water, right? Then we can visit Gubei Watertown. It's in the north of Beijing. We can climb the green hills and row(划)a boat on the river. Oh, you must like the lantern shops there. You can buy one and light it in the evening. It's beautiful. Baiyangdian Lake is a great place, too. It's not in Beijing, but we can take a bus there. It takes only two hours. There, you can see beautiful lotus flowers(荷花)and birds. There are all kinds of delicious foods in Beijing. And Beijing roast duck is the most famous. We can try it. Are you interested in these places? I can't wait to meet you here in Beijing. Yours, Li Lei |

I like Africa very much. So my parents and I went to Africa last week. It was an interesting place. On Monday, I rode big elephants. They were big and friendly. I took many photos of them. On Tuesday, we went to visit Lake Victoria. At noon, my father and I collected wood(木柴)to make a fire. Then we had a picnic. We had a good time there. After that we went to the hotel. On Wednesday, we went to Tugella Fall by train. We had a long walk around it. All of us liked Tugella Tall very much. We took the plane back to Canada on Saturday. It was an exciting.
I'II show you my photos there!

English is the first language of several countries. However, it has many differences. British, American, and South African English are all spoken differently. In many English language courses, the British and American differences are taught. There are important differences between the two.
Probably the biggest difference between American and British English is the vocabulary. Different words and expressions are used to talk about the same thing. For example, in the United States, people throw their garbage into the trash can. In England, people throw their rubbish into the dustbin. In Britain, people take a lift to the fifth floor. In America, people take an elevator.
American and British grammar can be also different. For example, speakers of British English will ask "What did you do at the weekend?", but Americans usually say "on the weekend." In the United States people usually say "I've gotten a new car.", but in the UK they will say "I've just got a new car."
The pronunciation in American and British English is also different, even when the spelling is the same. The word "tomato"—pronounced "to-mah-to" in British English—is a classic example of this.Vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation are three ways English is different in different parts of the world.
Learning all these is not easy, so English learners should just know that they are always there.
