David Black is an exchange student from England. Here is a letter to his friend in his hometown.
Dear Paul, Thanks for your message. I’m having a great time on my student exchange program in Lhasa City, China. My host family is really nice. They go out of their way to make me feel at home. The grandma often cooks me delicious Chinese food such as dumplings and zongzi. She even learnt to make salad and turkey when she knew I missed western food. Of all the family members, I admire the father most. He loves outdoor activities, and climbs most of mountains. There were many times when he almost lost his life because of accidents. In July, 2010, he found himself in a very dangerous situation while climbing the mountain Qomolangma, which is the highest and the most dangerous mountain. As a result, he lost his left leg. To this day, however, he is still a mountain climber. He takes part in all the same activities as he did before, and more besides. He has been on the national disabled ski team. He also took part in Paralympics Games (残奥会) in Beijing months ago. What’s more, he wrote a book. The book has given hope and courage to thousands of people who are unable to walk. Once I asked the father why he risked his life. He smiled and said, “I want to challenge myself in the face of the difficulties.” I was moved by his spirit. He never gives up trying to achieve his dream. Do you agree with me, Paul I’ll write again soon and tell you more about my life here. Hope you’re having a good time. Yours, David

David Black is an exchange student from England. Here is a letter to his friend in his hometown.
Dear Paul, Thanks for your message. I’m having a great time on my student exchange program in Lhasa City, China. My host family is really nice. They go out of their way to make me feel at home. The grandma often cooks me delicious Chinese food such as dumplings and zongzi. She even learnt to make salad and turkey when she knew I missed western food. Of all the family members, I admire the father most. He loves outdoor activities, and climbs most of mountains. There were many times when he almost lost his life because of accidents. In July, 2010, he found himself in a very dangerous situation while climbing the mountain Qomolangma, which is the highest and the most dangerous mountain. As a result, he lost his left leg. To this day, however, he is still a mountain climber. He takes part in all the same activities as he did before, and more besides. He has been on the national disabled ski team. He also took part in Paralympics Games (残奥会) in Beijing months ago. What’s more, he wrote a book. The book has given hope and courage to thousands of people who are unable to walk. Once I asked the father why he risked his life. He smiled and said, “I want to challenge myself in the face of the difficulties.” I was moved by his spirit. He never gives up trying to achieve his dream. Do you agree with me, Paul I’ll write again soon and tell you more about my life here. Hope you’re having a good time. Yours, David
