　　Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is one of the largest cities of the world．It is also one of the world’s most modern cities．Twice this century, the city was destroyed and rebuilt．In 1923, a major earthquake struck the city．Thousands of people were killed and millions were left homeless as buildings collapsed and fires broke out throughout Tokyo．It took seven years to rebuild the city．During World War Ⅱ, Tokyo was destroyed once again．As a result of these disasters there is nothing old Tokyo remaining in the downtown area．

　　After the war, the people of Tokyo began to rebuild their city．Buildings went up at a fantastic rate, and between 1945 and 1960, the city’s population is more than doubled．Because of the Olympic games held in Tokyo in 1964, many new stadiums, parks, and hotels were built to accommodate visitors from all over the world．As a result of this rapid development, however, many problems have arisen．Housing shortage, pollution, and waste disposal have presented serious challenges to the city, but the government has begun programs to answer them．

Dear Ken,

　　Happy new year! Thank you very much for the beautiful Christmas card you sent．How is the weather in Washington this winter? “Rainy”, I guess you would say．Here in Beijing we are snowed in．In fact the snow is falling while I write this letter．

　　I imagine that you are enjoying your Christmas vacation in Canada．We are also on vacation now, but most of my classmates and I are busy preparing for the university entrance examinations．

　　I’m sorry that I have written such a gloomy letter．It should have been a happy one for New Year’s, but I only want to tell you what I am doing．It’s just that I miss you at this time of the year．I wish you could consider coming to visit me in the spring when your father comes on business．We would have such a great time again! Please see if you can come! Let me know soon!

Yours truly,

Wang Wei
