Dear Helen,
Thanks for your last e-mail. Don't worry about me. I am very fine. Now let me tell you something about the explosion. When it happened, I heard a huge noise and could feel the ground shaking. And at that time, I was doing my homework in my own room. My father was surfing the Internet while my mother was watching TV. We were very shocked and didn't know what was happening. The next day we learned the accident from the TV news. Luckily, nobody was hurt in the accident.
How are you these days? I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Wang Fang
