Dear Li Shan,
Now,I'm writing this letter to you on Mars.It's
really wonderful to live on Mars.
I think life on Mars is more comfortable and more
interesting than that on the Earth.We have online schools
instead of real ones.We have lessons,do our homework,
take exams and talk to teachers and classmates through the
computers at home.It's not so crowded here,so we have
more living space.Most of our housework is done by
robots so that we can have more time for our hobbies.
Mars is very beautiful.There are green trees and fresh
flowers everywhere,and there is no pollution here.We
have supermarkets in our neighbourhood.They make our
life more convenient.
Yours,
Zhang Ke
