Dear sister:

　　I've been happy here in New York. But when holidays are coming near, I really feel “There's no place like home,” just like the English proverb says, “East, west, home is the best.

　　You must be doing well in English class. The letter you sent to me was written in good English.

　　Well, I want to bring my friend Diana to our home. I dare not tell Mama directly. If Dad and Mum say that will be all right, please write to me as soon as possible.

　　Diana is a poor girl whose parents died last month in a terrible accident. She has to spend the holidays alone. She wants to see China and try everything that we Chinese do. She has learned Chinese for two years and can speak a little. She has great curiosity about our family life and will ask you many questions about it. Isn't it a good chance to understand each other? I'm sure you'll learn many things from her.

　　Please give my love to our father and mother!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Your sister,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    Mei
