Dear Petro, I'm David Lin, and I'm your new penfriend. I'm 12 and I live in Vancouver, a city in Canada. I've got short black hair and brown eyes. My mother and father are from China and we speak English and Chinese at home. My father works in a bank in the city centre and my mother works in a restaurant. My sister Ella is the oldest in the family. She's 22. She doesn't live at home because she's got a job in a library in San Francisco, a famous city in America. My brother Jack is 19. He studies Computer Science at a university in Vancouver. I also have another brother called Henry. He is 15. Please write and tell me about you and your family. All the best, David |
December 7th, 2019 Hi Julie, How are you? I am Emily from Melbourne, Australia. I am excited about Christmas. What about you? Let me tell you how we celebrate Christmas. In Australia, Christmas comes in the middle of the summer holidays. Australians hang (挂) wreaths on their front doors and decorate (装饰) their houses and gardens with Christmas trees and lights. They also decorate their houses with Christmas Bush, a native Australian tree with small green leaves and red flowers. Carols by Candlelight is held every year on Christmas Eve. Thousands of people meet in different cities to sing their favorite Christmas songs. You can also watch it on TV. People eat the Christmas meal at lunch time on a beach. Most people have a cold Christmas meal, or a barbecue with seafood such as prawns and lobsters along with the traditional English food. Other families have a picnic on the beach.When Santa Claus gets to Australia, he gives reindeer (驯鹿) a rest and uses kangaroos. At many beaches, Santa Claus arrives on a surfboard. He also changes his clothes for less hot ones. Hope to hear from you soon. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Yours, Emily |
