donate money 捐钱Tangshan’s new lookDear Jessie,
…
This half year we have experienced so many
things that 2008 is undoubtedly a special year
for all the Chinese to remember. We, too, have
been donating money to the quake-stricken area and are doing what we can to help, even though so little compared to what is needed.
We teachers are especially outrageous about the loss of so many young kids. Hopefully they don't die?for nothing and?their death will make a difference to the future construction of schools.
…
Best regards from Rebecca Research building of Ningbo Nottingham
University, which can withstand an earthquake of 7.8 Question for further thinking: What do you think are important things to do in China to prepare people for earthquakes?
