Dear Xiaozhe,
How are you doing on Jupiter I arrived on Mars with my parents last week. There is no air here, so we have
to produce some by ourselves. Mars is colder than Earth and the Sun rises from the east. There is a wonderful
view of two small moons in the sky at night. There are 25 hours a day on Mars. Yesterday, I went to the National
Park in Olympus Mons with my classmates. It’s one of the largest mountains in the solar system. Everyone has a small spacecraft to get around on Mars. Last night, I was designing my own spacecraft. I hope can explore the whole universe one day.
Tell me something interesting about your experiences on Jupiter. I’m looking forward to
hearing from you soon.
Best,
Kangkang
