1 . How do you go to school? Do you take a bus or ride a bike? For many students, it is easy to get to school. But for some children in one small village in Hunan, it is very difficult. There is no road (路) between the village and the school. The children have to climb down ladders (爬下梯子) to get to school.

Hi! I'm sitting in the living room writing this letter. My dog, Paddles, is sitting next to me and looking at me with her big brown eyes. The eyes are asking me for some food. But I'm not giving her anything because she's getting fat.
I'm learning Spanish (西班牙语) now at evening school. I make a lot of new friends there. My best friend in the class is Jane. She has curly blonde hair, just like you. When you come to visit me next time, we can play together (一起).
Please write to me soon.
