I am so excited to know that you will come to China and can stay with me in Xuzhou for two weeks. I will be free in February and will have a lot of time to show you around our beautiful city. During your stay here, we can go to Xuzhou Museum, walk around Yunlong Lake, climb up to the top of Yunlong Hill and see beautiful Xuzhou. There is also a lot of nice food to eat in Xuzhou. I’m sure you’ll have a very good time here.

I am only in China for a short time. Chinese people are very friendly, just like people at home in Canada. I can speak a little Chinese, but I can’t write it. I’m trying to study and speak it. I often try to speak Chinese to my Chinese friends. Sometimes they don’t understand me, because I can’t speak Chinese well.

I go out this morning. I am on my way to the hospital. I want to see my friend Eric there. But I don’t know how to get there. I ask a Chinese boy. The boy can’t understand me. Then I take out a pen and some paper. I draw a man in bed on it, give the picture to the boy and say something about it. The boy smiles and then shows me the way to the hospital. So I see my friend at last.

Please email me soon!
