Hi Jane,

    I hope you and your family are all well. I'm e-mailing you to tell you about my new hobby, surfing.

    My brother, Peter, is at home from college(大學)for the summer holiday. He is very good at surfing. We go to the beach every day and Peter teaches me to surf. I don't do well in it but it's fun. Most days we bring a picnic and stay on the beach all day. Surfing is a good exercise and an interesting way to get a suntan(曬黑)! All my friends think it's a great new hobby.

      Bye for now.

Love,

Rose

If you travel in the city of Kunming, you can’t miss the Kingdom of Little People. It opened in the summer of 2009 in the mountains in Kunming.
There are tiny(微小的) animals, little beautiful cottages (小屋) and small furniture in the park. The big attraction of the park is the performances by little people. Many little people work in the park. Twice a day, they perform for visitors. They sing, dance and give a magic show. People who want to work in the park should be between eighteen and forty years old from any part of the country. And they should be under 130 cm in height.
The creator of the park is a rich businessman. He wants the park to be like a fairyland. And he wants to do something good for dwarfs in China.
