Dear Tom,
Is everything going fine with you? It has been a long time since we meet last time and I really miss you a lot.
You won’t believe how many I’ve changed. I now spend most of my time study. Absorbed in books, not only have I broadened my horizons, but I have full enriched myself. Keeping your instruction in mind firmly, I took part varieties of after school activities to keep a balance between study but relaxation. For an example, last week, I worked as a volunteer in an old people’s house. The old expressed their sincere warm and appreciation when I helped them, that made me realize the true meaning of life.
I hope we are also enjoying every day as I am. Welcome to China again.
Yours,
Li Hua
