Dear Zhang Hua，

Have you ever been to Thailand? It is a country in Southeast Asia．I've been in Thailand for a few days with my parents．We are here for a holiday．

Now we are staying in Bangkok．It is the capital of Thailand and it is a very interesting place to visit．Yesterday we visited some places of interest in the city．They are great! This morning we went shopping．Bangkok is a wonderful place to shop for jewelry（珠宝）and clothes．My mother bought a nice necklace．My father and I bought some fashionable T-shirts．Thailand is called “Land of Smiles” because people here are very friendly．And it's true! When we eat in the restaurants in Bangkok，the waiters are really nice and they are always smiling．Thai food is delicious，but it is sometimes a little spicy（辛辣的）for me．You can also get Chinese food here because a lot of Chinese people came to live in Bangkok many years ago．Chinese food is very good，and it isn't as spicy as spicy as Thai food．Our American food can also be found in Bangkok，but，however，I don't eat it．You know．I'd like to try new things when it ravel．

The weather has been very hot．Yesterday it rained and got a little cooler．But today it's hot again．

Yours，

Mary
