Dear Mum and Dad,
I am writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia. At the moment, we are staying near Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a plane tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometres long and 348 metres high. During different periods of the day, the colours of the rock turn dark blue, purple, yellow and red. Ayers Rock is a centre of Aboriginal culture. The Aborigines are the people that have lived in Australia from the earliest times, and their ancient stories describe the spirits that created the world.
The Australians have a close relationship with the British. Many have British relatives, and they are like us in many ways. The food that Australians like most are ham and beef with lots of salad. They also grow grapes and other fruits. They love all sports, but the game that they like
most is Australian football. Because most Australians live near the coast, they also love going to the beach for swimming and surfing or just lying in the sun.
Although it is December, it is summer over here. The sun is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but themiddle of the country has no trees or grass, just rocks and sand… And kangaroos!
Australians speak English, but in their own way. For example, when they say “G’day!” and “No worries.”, they mean “Hello!” and “Don’t worry about it. It’s not a problem!”
On the second day, we went horse riding. The horse that I rode was lazy, so I was far behind the others, but I enjoyed the slow and relaxing riding.
Later this evening, we are taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It has been a wonderful trip.
Love,
Tony

Dear Tony,
We are writing this letter to you from Beijing. It’s a very beautiful and exciting place.
On the first day, We had a city tour. We visited the museum and the city center. After visiting The Palace Musuem, we learned that Beijing is a city with a long history.We bought some souvenirs and tasted local food. My favorite food was Beijing roast duck that tastes delicious. This delicate food left me a deep impression.
The people there are very friendly and polite. The streets are wide and clean. It is hardly to see any litter on the street. The restaurant is often quiet, because people often speak at a lower voice.
On the last few days, we went camping on the Xiangshan Park. This was the first time that We put up tents and slept in it. In the evening, we gathered around the campfire and sang and danced to relax.
This trip not only broaden our horizons, but also gives us a chance to think about how to keep a balance between our life and work. We are looking forward to visiting Beijing with you again.
Love,
Your parents
