Dear Zhao Tao,
I’ve been in Beijing for several days. I miss you very much. Does everything go well at home? Now let me tell you something about Beijing.
Beijing, our capital, is a very beautiful city. There are too many people, cars and big buildings in Beijing. There are all kinds of shops. They sell all kinds of things. There are lots of places of great interest. Now it’s the best time to visit Beijing. Too many travellers have come here.
Yesterday my father and I visited the Great Wall. How great! I was very excited when I saw the Great Wall. We took lots of photos. I saw lots of foreigners, they’re very interesting. We enjoyed ourselves very much there.
Zhao Tao, have you finished your lessons? I’m going home soon.
Please tell my mother not to worry about us.
Yours,
Li Hai

Dear parents,
How are you? How time flies! I’ve been in Yunnan for nearly half a month.
All is beautiful here and so are the people. All the year is just like spring, and there are flowers of friendship here and there.
Here’s a big family and we are brothers and sisters. They take good care of me, for they are afraid it can’t fit a friend from the Northeast. So I’m very happy here and you needn’t worry.
Hope you come and visit here after farm work.
Yours loving,
Shang Jia

Dear Zhang Hui,
I have received your letter of August 15. I’m surprised to learn that you have lost heart in your English and that you want to give it up.
In my opinion, English is an important subject for us middle school students. It’s wrong for you to give it up. I hope you’ll go on studying English. You should have more confidence and when you are learning a language you will make mistakes, this is part of learning. Where there is a will, there is a way. Besides, you must develop a good way of learning. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask your teacher for help. I’m sure you’ll make great progress in your English very soon.
Yours,
Zhou Hai
