Dear Kate,
You ask about places to go (要去的地方) and things to do（要做的事情）in our city. The Xinhua Mall is always fun. It’s a shopping centre. There are some good stores and restaurants there. For example, Andy’s Boutique is in Xinhua Mall. It’s a fun place to shop, and it has many Chinese clothes. My favourite restaurant is Dick’s Cafe. Dick’s Cafe is near my house. It’s cheap and the hot dogs are great. I like Beijing Restaurant, too. You can get wonderful noodles there and the beef noodles are the most delicious! You must try the dumplings there, too. Come for a visit soon!
Love,     
Alice

If you ask your parents: “Did you buy salt recently?” They might either say: “Yes, we bought more salt than usual”, or “No, we couldn’t find any in the market.”
This is because of the recent craze(狂热) of salt buying in China. In big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, salt almost sold out in only one night.
After the big earthquake in Japan on March 11, there was a nuclear leak(核泄漏). And rumors(传言) about whether it will affect our daily life appeared: first, iodized(含碘的) salt can keep us from the dangers of radiation(辐射)；second, there will be less sea-salt in the ocean because of the nuclear pollution.
Both the government and experts said the rumors were not true, but people still bought as much salt as possible. Why? Many salt-buyers didn’t really care or know what experts or the government were saying. That was the real reason behind the craze of salt buying.
On March 20, the government said the salt market is back to normal. And most of China’s salt is from lakes, not the ocean.
Now, many people want to return the salt they bought. “There is no reason why those people should get their money back,” an article in Xinhua Daily Telegraph said. “They made the craze in the first place.”
Perhaps people should learn a lesson from the salt: don’t believe everything you hear.
