Wonderful time in Zhangjiajie
What will Betty write in the email
2. We’re staying with Lingling’s uncle in Hunan Province, and I’ m having a wonderful time here in Zhangjiajie. It’s a magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It’s very large, about 480 square kilometers. It’s famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks. Some of them look like humans while others look like wild animals.
5.Tomorrow we’re going to Dongting Lake, the second-largest freshwater lake in China.
3. Last night we camped by a small lake. During the night, we heard a noise! It woke everybody up. We thought somebody was moving about. Lingling’s uncle said it was an animal. We came out without making any noise, and found it was just a hungry monkey. looking for food.
4.This morning, we climbed Mount Tianzi! From the top we hoped to see the lakes and forests. But it was a pity that it was cloudy. We could only see the mountain tops above the clouds. Then we walked down the path, along a river, past trees and other plants and back to the camp. I pulled a leaf off plants, but Lingling’s uncle said that it was wrong to pull leaves off plants and that we should protect everything here. I was very sorry.
Dear Mum and Dad,
1. I promised to write, so…
6.We’ll be back home next week! Wish you were here!
Love,
Betty
