It was December 16th yesterday. The traditional Skiing Festival began. All the students looked very excited and hoped to have a good time during the festival. I was also excited because my friends invited me to join their skiing trip. In my family, my parents, my brother and my sister all can ski, but I can ’t. So I thought it was a good chance for me to learn skiing. My parents worried about me, but they agreed. Yesterday morning I got up early and got ready for my first skiing trip. I wore my new
skiing clothes. I was going to take plenty of food and water with me. At 8:00a.m. all the friends came to my house. After we finished a short meeting, I just got some rice dumplings from the kitchen. Then we went to West Hill by underground at8:30. At 9:00, we arrived at the foot of the hill. It was difficult to get to the top of the hill in a
snowy season. We spent about one hour and a half walking through a big forest first. An hour later, we get to the top of the hill. We were tired but very excited. It was cold there, so we put up our tents and started a campfire. After a short rest, we began to ski.
That morning my friends taught me some skills about skiing. I took lots of photos and we had fun together. What a wonderful trip!

Dear Dongdong,
I came to Hong Kong last week. I will stay here for another week. Hong Kong is really a great place to visit. There’s so much to see and do here. And I did so many wonderful things.
I took the cable car(缆车) to the Peak Galleria (山顶广场). I went to Hong Kong Racing Museum. I knew a lot about horse racing. I also visited Ladies’ Street. In the street I bought some beautiful clothes for my mother. Last night I went to a Chinese concert. Chinese traditional music is always my favorite. This morning I went to Ocean Park and watched the dolphins performance(海豚表演). Dolphins are so clever. They can jump from the water to touch a ball, dance, kiss people and even do math. Mr. Host is going to take me to an Italian film festival in Hong Kong Cultural Centre tomorrow. I’m so excited because I don’t see an Italian film before. But some people say they’re boring.
That’s all!
Best wishes!
Yours,
Haohao
