It’s been more than 8 years since I moved from the US to Beijing. At that time, my parents have grown older, just as I have. When I went off to college, we lived in different cities, but we still stayed in touch by phone and email. 51 But living in Beijing has made it a bit more difficult. You see, we’re separated(分开) not only by distance, but also by time. My hometown is on the opposite side of the planet from Beijing—it’s a 12-hour time difference. 52 This can make it difficult to find a suitable time to contact my family.
53 We just try to choose times that are convenient(便利的) for both of us. This means I usually call my mom late in the evening, when she’s taking her lunch break. We talk
about our work, the weather, and whatever else is happening in our lives. It’s nice to check in with her and see how she’s doing.
54 About once every other year, I’ll fly back to the US to see my parents and sisters for the holidays. It’s rare(珍贵的) for us to get the whole family together—but when we do, we have a lot of fun.
55 We try to stay in touch as best as we can.

The murals are made from lots of corn and other grain and grasses such as wild oats, rye, straw, and wheat. Each year these corn decorations are completely stripped down（剥下）and entirely new murals are created. The Corn Palace is a great tourist attraction and a meeting place for the community. Many events are held here and the most popular is the Corn Palace Stampede Rodeo. But the horses must be watched carefully so that they don’t eat the building!

It’s a great and moving experience that I’m sure you would love — a bit like Peking opera! Many musicals are based on classic stories like Les Miserables or Peter Pan, and they might even inspire（激发）you to read the books, too! My big news is that I am going to China on vacation this winter. I am looking for places of interest in China. Can you recommend some to me See you soon! Leslie
