More people all over the world get to know Shanghai after the EXPO, The Smiths are Canadian . They are visiting Shanghai.  It's their first visit to China. They're staying in China for about 2 months. They want to visit some other big cities and . They hope to learn some Chinese, too.

    Mr Smith is a taxi driver. He likes to in Shanghai. Mrs Smith is a school teacher. She will visit a city school and a village school next week. Their daughter is a middle school student. She is going to meet some Chinese students.

    They are  a lot of photos in China. When they get back to Canada, they are going to show them to their friends. They want Canadian people to know more about China.

    We live with them, grow up with them and often take them for granted.  They work hard, take us on exciting holidays, give us food, c and take good care of us. In return, we often shout at them, make their living area noisy and dirty and expect them to u and love us at all times! So, who are those wonderful people? They are, of course, our parents.

    It is certainly not e to be young. There are so many changes and so many problems and so little experience to help us. Our b and minds are changing fast, and the whole experience can be frightening. In fact, many of the answers to these difficult problems can be found {rom our parents. They have already deal w  most of the problems we face.  Also, the more we get to know our parents as people, the more we understand that, even when they are awith us, it is only because they care for us rather than the fact that they are horrible old people.

    Take the time to share in your parents' lives: Go fishing with Dad; help Morn p  the evening meal, and really talk to them. Often you will be surprised by what they will tell you and this will lead to a much better understanding and a deeper love. So, start with some thing simple and see what wonderful things can follow.

Dear Sam,

    I am now writing to you in a beautiful hotel in Hainan Island. The weather here is very nice. Although it is winter now, the air is fresh(新鲜的) and the sky is clear(晴朗的) and blue. The days are warm and sunny. I just wear a T shirt in the daytime(白天), but the nights are cool and humid(湿润的). It is a beautiful place in China. I stay at a hotel on the coast(海岸). There is a beautiful swimming pool in our hotel. I like Chinese food. It is delicious. My room and meals cost ¥200 a day.

    Every day after a big breakfast, I spend the morning on the beach. Then I go sightseeing(观光), such as Yalong Bay, Luhuitou, Tianyahaijiao and so on. After that, I usually sleep for a few hours. Then I read by the pool and have a cool drink as well.

    I will come here again next winter. Do you want to come with me?

    Best wishes!

Yours,

Jim
