I never take the train. I never go to Beijing before. What is it like? Is it big? There must be lots of people, cars and tall buildings. I want to see it one day.
My parents work in Shenzhen. They only come home and see my grandparents and me during the Spring Festival. I want to be with them. Then I can see them every day.
I love reading a lot. Stories in the books are much fun. But I don't have many books. I want to have a library in our school, so there will be lots of books in it and I can read them every day after school.
