Dear Xiaowei,

    Thanks for your present (礼物). It is very beautiful. What's the weather like in Guangzhou now? Is it very cold? It's now winter (冬天) in Guangzhou. But in Australia, it is summer(夏天). So it is quite hot here. The temperature is from 34C to 37C today. And it rains a lot. I have to stay at home. The weather report says it will be much hotter next week. And the typhoon(台风) is coming, too. I don't like the rainy days. What about you? The winter holiday(寒假) is coming in Guangzhou. What are you going to do?

    Please write to me soon.

    Best wishes.

Yours,

Sally
