Dear Henry,

Thanks for your letter. I'm having a nice time here. You want me to tell you how I like Chinese people. As a foreigner, it's 1for me to tell what Chinese people are like. But my2in Beijing said something.

A couple of weeks ago, I went to buy four3 for travel. As I was going down the street, it suddenly rained4. A stranger called me into his little shop.

He offered me with a cup of tea and a chair. When the rain got lighter, I5 him and rushed to a store nearby to buy my suitcases.

If you've ever tried to push four big suitcases by6 , you may understand my situation. I looked so silly. Then I felt a touch on my shoulder (肩膀) . It was the seller. He said that I should wait. A few7later, he drove up in a car, and put my suitcases inside. Then we went driving happily along the road to my home. I gave him some8, but he refused. In9English he said, "Feel good, help you. "

Now, you can see Chinese people are always ready to10you.

Yours,

Mike

    There was no rain for six months in Liguan Village, about 60 km away from Kunming. The fields were so dry lots of plants were dead. The villagers didn't have water (drink), to cook food or to water crops(庄稼). Most of the villagers live on rice, corn and vegetables that they grow by (them). Without water, their crops couldn't grow well. And they didn't have enough food to eat.

    Every morning, the villagers got up early and ran to the centre of the village two plastic buckets(塑料桶). More than 4, 000 thirsty villagers stood behind a fire truck (wait) for the water.

    Every family got two or three buckets of water every day. They used it for drinking, washing and (cook). If one family saved a little water every day, then the family could have a shower(one) a week.

    The government tried to help villagers look water. They were going to dig(挖) (hundred) of new wells. Volunteers from all over the country collected money, food and water for villagers. Above all, the most important way (protect) underground water and prevent drought(干旱) is to plant trees.

This is the day.

    In some parts of the world there are large deserts. There aren't trees or water in these Travellers must take food and water with them. The only animal that can walk the desert is the camel. It can go food or water for a long time, and it can heavy things. People call the camel “the ship of the desert”. The camel is very big. It has one or two humps on back, short ears and a long neck. The camel can hold water in twelve deep pockets. Each pocket has a mouth, and the food doesn't mix with the water. When the camel wants some water, it can get it out of the pockets.
