七、Dear Grandma,
How is everything Now I'm studying in China. I have a good friend, Wang Lin. He's more outgoing and funnier than me. He always tells me interesting stories. The stories often make me laugh. Wang Lin and I both like sports. We exercise three or four times every week. And we play basketball together after school. Also, we both like to listen to music and watch action movies.
Besides, he likes watching news because he can find out what's going on around the world. But he doesn't like soap operas.
Last Sunday, Wang Lin took me to the best movie theater in town—Huaxia Cinema. We saw Blunt Force Trauma. It was exciting and wonderful. I think the cinema has the most comfortable seats and that the sound effect is the best. I hope to go there next time!
Best wishes!
Your sincerely,
David
