I was enjoying myself on the road when I saw a car running towards me. I wanted to move to the side of the road but I lost my balance. I tried to get up but I could not. Before I knew what was happening, the car hit me and threw me ten meters away. When I woke up, I was in the hospital. I could not move my right leg because it was not there. I shouted for about ten minutes. My mother held my hand and told me that I lost my right leg in the accident. I was shocked. It was not easy to live with only one leg.

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
