Dear Peter,
      Thank you for your letter and some wonderful stamps. I like them very much. I also collect stamps. I'm
sending some Monkey King stamps to you. I think you'll like them. Now I'm going to answer some of your
questions. You ask me about the weather in Beijing in winter. It's quite cold and it often snows in winter. After
snowing the ground is white. And I can skate on real ice. It's very interesting to skate on real ice. I like winter
best. You ask me, when is the best time to come to China. I think the best time to come to China is in spring
or in autumn. It's often too hot in summer and it's too cold in winter. I have to finish this letter now. Ask your
brother to come to China with you. Welcome to Beijing soon.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Yours,
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Li Lei

Hi,
      I am so happy to have a pen pal. My English name is Taren. I live in Beijing. It is a beautiful city. I like
drawing pictures and collecting stamps. My mother works in a school. She is a teacher. She goes to work
by bike. She teaches art. She teaches me to draw sometimes. My father is an accountant. He works in a
big company. He goes to work by bus. He likes collecting things, too. But he doesn't collect stamps. He
collects coins. He has many beautiful coins. Do you like collecting things? What do you collect? Write to
me when you have time.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Your new pen pal,
