Dear Daniel
My name is Kitty. I am a student in Xishan Middle School. I live in a small town in Kunming. It’s different from Beijing. And now I am using my uncle’s computer to write this e-mail to you.
I only have five lessons every day. I have two hours for lunch. Although I have more time for lunch than you, I am not happy. I want to go to a bigger school and read more books. I have to help my parents in the fields, so I have less time studying. But I am very happy because I have more chances to get close to nature. I wish I could join the Helping Hands Club and talk to others there.
Please write to me soon.
Yours
Kitty
