Dear_Mary,
I'm sorry to hear that you find it difficult to make friends in China and you are lonely. Don't worry. Though making friends in an unfamiliar environment can be challenging, still there are several things you can do to help you build relationships with others.
It helps to start conversations with your classmates. They are willing to make friends with those who are new to their school and conversations can lead to new friendships and a sense of belonging. It is also advisable to join clubs in your school. This can provide you with an opportunity to meet someone who shares your hobbies or passions. Finally, you might consider making use of social media, for example, WeChat, to connect with others who are also studying in China.It is such a convenient tool that you can keep in contact with others no matter where you are.
Making friends in a new country takes time. I hope my suggestions can help you. I am looking forward to your good news.
Yours,
Li_Hua

It was summer,and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before.He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.
We took a plane to Albuquerque,a big city in the state of New Mexico.We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon.Uncle Paul,my dad's friend,picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle.My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby.Very early in the morning,Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast.“The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said.After breakfast,I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens,while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze (吃草).I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses.They looked really cool.
In the afternoon,I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride,and he said yes,as long as my dad went with me.I wasn't going to take a horse ride by myself anyway.So,my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats,got on our horses,and headed slowly towards the mountains.“Don't be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried,“and keep to the track so that you don't get lost!”“OK!” my dad cried back.After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight.It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks,the deep green pine trees,and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene.It looked like a beautiful woven (编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.

Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.___________________________

Paragraph 1:
Suddenly_a_little_rabbit_jumped_out_in_front_of_my_horse.Afraid that I might hurt the lovely small creature,I automatically let out a cry to stop my horse.However,it became scared and started to run like crazy.All this coming without warning,I was seized by fear.“Don't let go of the rope! Keep calm!” yelled Dad.I followed what he told me to.To my relief,it stopped slowly.But before we jumped off the horses,we found that we had been off the beaten track and got lost.
Paragraph 2:
We_had_no_idea_where_we_were_and_it_was_getting_dark.Exhausted and hungry,I wondered if we could find our way back.I kept shouting for help,hoping my shouts could be heard by someone,but there was no reply.Dad sounded a little worried as he reminded me to calm down.It was then that my mind raced.“Listen,dad,the rushing river water,”I shouted excitedly,“we can return to the farm house down the river.”Before long,we caught sight of the lights in the distance.We knew we were safe.What a thrilling vacation,like never before,we had!
