Clouds
On a beautiful spring afternoon,

On the soft green grass,
Breathing in the fresh smell that I can feel all around.
My attention is taken up to the clouds.
For up there in the bright blue sky
Is a fluffy white world of cotton candy animals
And castles built with marshmallow bricks.
But I must be creative and take the time
To bring this world into focus,
So I take a breath,
And squint my eyes just a little bit.
And before I know it — there they are — A big bear
Soft as a pillow, quietly curls up to sleep,
As a tiny, cotton ball mouse
Jumps out from a lion's house.
What a treat to spend my afternoon
With these newly found friends moving by!

Dear Jack,
How is everything going？I'm writing to invite you to travel with me in Guilin. Here is some information.
There are four seasons in Guilin. They are spring, summer, autumn and winter. Every season lasts three months and spring is from March to May.
The weather in spring gets warmer but it often rains. Summer is very hot. Many people enjoy swimming in Li River. Autumn is not too hot or too cold. And the fallen leaves make a wonderful scene. Winter may be a bit cold for us. So I think the best time to visit Guilin is in autumn.
Come and join me！I'm looking forward to your early reply！
Yours,
Li Ming
