Dear Tom,
Thanks for your last letter. You asked me about my hometown. Now let me tell you.
My hometown is Huanggang. It lies by the Yangtze River and at the southern foot of Dabie Mountains.
It's a beautiful city with a long history. A number of famous people come from our city, such as Li siguang, Li shizhen, Wen Yiduo and so on. There are lots of beautiful mountains, rivers and lakes. They are so fascinating that thousands of tourists come to visit Huanggang every year. You can also see beautiful villages everywhere. We are proud of our hometown.
Now the people in Huanggang are trying to protect the natural environment. We plant trees as many as possible every year. We stop factories from throwing rubbish into the rivers. Volunteers go to the mountains, forests, parks and streets to clean them up on the weekends. Everyone is playing a role in making our city more and more beautiful. We are taking action!
Tom, would you like to come to Huanggang? You can see clear rivers and green mountains as well as blue skies and white cloud. I believe you will fall in love with our city and have a wonderful time. Looking forward to your visit!
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Ming

Saving Tigers
Have you ever visited zoos? Have you seen tigers in the zoos? I think the tiger is one of the animals which people like to watch best in the zoo. But now there are only about 3, 200 wild tigers in the world, and the number of them is reducing. What caused them to reduce? Because many forests are destroyed and they have no place to live in. In order to protect them, we must build more nature reserves. And we must stop people from hunting tigers.

参考答案
（一）
Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to China! I’m glad to be your guide today. We will see lovely pandas soon. Now let me tell you something about pandas. Pandas are white and black. They are very cute and friendly to people. They feed on bamboo. They mainly live in some forests and mountains in Sichuan Province, Gansu Province and Shaanxi Province. Now pandas are becoming fewer and fewer in number. So the Chinese government is thinking about ways to protect them. People build many research bases to care for baby pandas. Some education programs also send people to schools to tell children about the importance of saving pandas. Besides these, the government is also planting more bamboo trees so there will be more forests for pandas to live in.

It has a long history. Around 2,700 years ago, the ancient emperors made people build it to protect the country. Later Qin Shihuang and other emperors also made people repair it.
It’s a symbol of China and lots of tourists around the world visit it every year.
