Dear Susan,
It’s good to hear that you my want to visit China. The best time to visit china is during spring season (March to May) and autumn season (September to November).
Normally, the most comfortable season of the year is early autumn (September to early October). During that period, temperatures are reasonable throughout China (about 50-72F) with a limited amount of rain. September for example is the only month in the year when the ancient and valuable paintings of the Beijing Palace Museum are displayed due to proper climate conditions (low humidity and proper temperature).
Spring can also be delightful with the average temperatures nearly the same as in autumn (about 50-72F).
Summer (from June to the end of August) can be very hot with temperatures well above 72F, especially in the famous 'four furnaces' of China: Wuhan, Tianjing, Chongqing and Nanchang. Summer is also the rainy season, so don’t forget umbrellas, light raincoats and rubber shoes.
Winter can be very cold especially in the north. Off season travel can also offer its rewards. For example the Harbin Winter Ice Lantern Festival is quite charming.
Before deciding when to take a tour, it is worth checking carefully the weather conditions of each city on the journey.

Dear
It's good to hear that you may want to visit China. I think the best time to come is February.
It's usually cold but there may be some snow. And it might be cold, so bring a overcoat. Best of all, there won't be so many visitors. Make sure you bring a digital camera. You may like to take lots of photos, the best time to take photos. You won't have to pay much for it. When you arrive in Beijing you might like to buy a handphone to make a telephone call or receive a telephone call. I hope this is useful.
Yours truly,

I. 重点知识详解
maybe与may be
maybe 是副词，意思是“也许、可能”，在句中作状语，相当于perhaps，常位于句首。如：
Maybe she'll come this afternoon. 她可能今天下午来。
Maybe you put the letter in your pocket. 大概你把信放在衣袋里了。
而may也有可能之意，may be中的may是情态动词，be 是动词原形，两者构成完整的谓语形式，与主语形成系表结构意为“也许是......可能是......”。
I can't find my watch. It may be in your bag. 我找不到我的手表了,它可能在你的包里。
He may be a soldier. 他可能是个军人。
maybe 和may be有时可以互换。
He may be in the office.（=Maybe he is in the office.）他或许在办公室。
You may be right.（=Maybe you are right.）你或许是对的。
II. Best time to visit the USA
As the USA covers several micro-climates it is difficult to pinpoint exactly when the best time to visit is. Depending on your tastes and interests the USA can be visited year-round.
The summer tourist season tends to run from Memorial Day (late May) to Labor Day (early September) with the peak period being mid June to the end of August.
May or June is generally ideal as air fares are less expensive than in July and August, the hours of daylight are at their maximum, the weather is usually mild, and recreational facilities are operating but not too crowded. September is also well worth considering.
Florida, the most visited destination for travellers, is warm throughout the year and hot in the summer months. If you do not like temperatures too high the best time to visit would be December to March.
Autumn (Fall) is the perfect time to see New England when many states come alive in orange, red and yellow.The first couple of weeks of October are the most spectacular.
III. Best time to visit Australia
"When is the best time to travel through Outback Australia?" is a question that I hear asked a lot. There is no simple answer to it.
It depends mostly on where you want to go. The Outback in Australia is huge and spans several climate zones. (We will look at them on this page.)
It also depends on what kind of activities you are interested in and by which means you travel. The weather will be of more importance if you want to go camping. Or if your car doesn't have air conditioning. Or if you want to go swimming.
In my opinion any time is a good time to visit the Australian Outback. There will always be a part of Australia for which the time you chose is just perfect...
The Arid Regions of Outback Australia
The weather in arid inland Australia is characterised by extremes, hot days and freezing nights. Overall there are hotter days and milder nights in summer, compared to bearable days and freezing nights in winter. You choose. Of course keep in mind that the seasons are opposite to the northern hemisphere's.
I should mention here that the temperatures alone don't tell the whole story. Humidity is a huge factor as well. The drier the heat the less you will feel it. Less humidity and cloud cover also means that heat is not retained at night. You can have very hot days but the nights are still pleasantly cool. Very hot in Alice Springs feels a lot better than somewhat hot in Darwin. Always look at temperature and humidity, like this map does.
Having said that, the driving distances in Outback Australia are huge and if you are driving you will spend a lot of time in your vehicle.
If you want to drive through Outback Australia in summer do yourself a favour and make sure the car has air conditioning.
I'll tell you a "secret" for how to deal with the heat. Drink, drink, drink! Water, that is, not sweet sodas. If you go for walks always take a water bottle. As I said above, you don't feel the heat much if it is dry, but you will lose even more moisture. Drinking enough water is the single most important thing you can do to feel well in higher temperatures! It can make all the difference.
Northern Outback Australia
Northern Outback Australia is tropical and has a distinct dry and wet season. The dry season from April/May to September/October is considered to be the best time for travel with pleasant day temperatures and mild nights. Beginning and end of 'the Dry' can be hot and humid, with temperatures up to 35oC (95F) and above. On the plus side there are less tourists and lower prices.
The 'Wet' is considered by many locals to be the best time of the year in the Outback in Australia.
It is the breeding season and wildlife abounds. Our red world gets covered in a lush green lacework of fresh vegetation and all the waterfalls in our favourite swimming spots are raging.
Of course it doesn't rain every day, most rains happen in the evening or wee hours of the morning. The lightning show accompanying the tropical thunderstorms has to be seen to be believed.
However, travel can be restricted. The many unsealed roads in Outback Australia are closed, and even highways get cut off at times. It is something I would only recommend to people who have a lot of time. (And did I mention another reason why we locals love the Wet? We have the place to ourselves again.)

There are only two seasons in some countries — the dry season and the rainy season. They are India, Vietnam, and some countries in Africa. It is never cold there, and it doesn’t snow. In the dry season it is as warm as it in the rainy season. When it is the dry season, it doesn’t rain at all. It is very, very hot. All grass and leaves on the trees are yellow. Animals and people are very thirsty. It is a very difficult time for them! When it is the rainy season, the rain doesn’t stop; it rains day and night. There is a lot of water around! Some animals like it, but some don’t.
There is a place where there are no seasons at all. It is the Antarctic(南极). It is very cold all the year round. There are no countries and no cities there. There are some villages in the Antarctic. Who lives there? The people from all countries come there to learn about the coldest place, its animals and birds. But there are no trees, no flowers, no fruit there, so people can’t live there long.

September 27 is World Tourism Day(世界旅游日). Every year, people have the celebration for the fun of travelling. But most countries don’t have a holiday for people to go out on that day. But people still like to talk about their favorite places.
Kelley, from a middle school in Hong Kong, said,“ I want to go to Hokkaido(北海道) in Japan. The hot springs(温泉) will make me relaxed. It’s said the monkeys there are very funny. They can also stay in the hot springs!”
Frank, from a middle school in Taiwan, said,” I like travelling to the deserts because I like camels a lot. And the most important thing is that I like to see the desert sunsets(沙漠日落). The camel will be my close friend.”
Tiantian from Beijing said:” I want to go to New York, London, Paris and other big cities. They are exciting. There are many interesting things to see and to do. I can go to see different kinds of plays and films. It must be enjoyable.”
So, it’s exciting and enjoyable for people to travel for fun.

I like sunny days because I can play outside! Today is Saturday. I have no lessons today. Now I’m writing an email to you. After that I’m going to fly kites in the park with my friends.
What are you doing now? How is the weather in your hometown? Please write to me soon!
Yours,
Mary
