Dear Peter,
Thank you for your letter and some wonderful stamps. I like them very much. I also collect stamps. I will send you some stamps.
Now I'm going to answer some of your questions. You asked me about the weather in Beijing in winter. It's cold and it often snows. And I can skate on the ice. It's very interesting to skate on the ice. I like winter best. I think the best time to come to Beijing is in spring or autumn. It's often too hot in summer and it's too cold in winter. I have to finish this email now. Come to Beijing with your brother someday.
Yours,
Li Lei
My name is David. There are four people in my family. They are my father, my mother, my sister and me. My father is a teacher. He works in a school. He goes to school by car. My mother is a doctor. She works in a hospital. She likes dancing. My sister is taller than me. Last weekend, we went to the park. We flew kites and played games. In the afternoon, we visited our grandmother. In the evening, we watched TV. Oh, we were really busy and tired that day.
This afternoon, I got on a bus and sat at the back of the bus. Five minutes later, the bus stopped and seven or eight people got off. Suddenly I saw a wallet under a seat. I picked it up and asked the bus driver to help me find its owner（主人）. I asked all the people on the bus, but they said it wasn't theirs. Suddenly（突然）an old man got on the bus again and asked about the wallet. He looked very worried. At that moment I knew he was the owner. I gave the wallet back to him, and he thanked me again and again.

Susan is 13 years old. She lives in London with her parents. Her father works in a horse-ridng school. Susan likes riding horses. She goes horse-riding every Saturday and she can ride very well. At the horse-riding school, she helps her father. She gives the horses food and water. She also helps to clean them.
Susan often takes notes (记笔记) on horse-riding. Here are some of her notes.
When you ride a horse for the first time, it's difficult. The first thing you learn is to get onto a horse.
Then you learn to move up and down with the horse. (If you don't do this, both you and the horse will feel bad. )
At first, you learn to walk around with the horse. Then you learn to run slowly.
When your teacher thinks you are good enough, you can learn to jump.
(Not everyone needs to learn to jump. But I like jumping. It's exciting!)

" Then Daming knew his mistake. Daming wanted to say "sheep" not "ship". It was very funny. His friends all laughed.

A farmer lives near a road. It is not a busy road, but you can still see some cars on it every day. Near the gate of the farm, there is a big hole on the road.
This hole is full of water, and the drivers can't see how deep the hole is. Some drivers think it may be very shallow(浅). But when they drive into the hole, they can't get out, because it is very deep.
They farmer doesn't spend much time working on his farm. He spends much time watching the hole. When a car gets into the hole, he helps the driver pull the car out and asks him to pay a lot of money for this.
One day, a driver says to him, "You make a lot of money by pulling cars out of this hole day and night."
"Oh, no," the farmer says. "I don't pull cars out of the hole at night. At night I fill the hole with water. "
