[00:05.87]Lesson 28
[00:07.62]1.3 Dear Denny,
[00:11.72]I'm staying with a Chinese family in Beijing.
[00:15.06]There is a girl in the family.
[00:18.38]Her name is Li Xing
[00:21.26]We have become close friends.
[00:24.41]Last Friday was² the Mid-Autumn Festival
[00:27.39]in China.
[00:28.92]We went to the Temple³ of Heaven⁴.
[00:31.29]I had⁵ a wonderful time,
[00:33.90]but there were so many people everywhere.
[00:37.40]My Chinese friends are very kind to me.
[00:41.13]I often talk with them in Chinese,
[00:44.13]so my Chinese has improved⁶ a lot.
[00:47.60]Sometimes I miss my family,
[00:50.54]and I'm not very used⁷ to the food here.
[00:53.53]It's a little hot,
[00:55.46]and they always ask me to eat more
[00:57.70]during dinner.
[00:59.66]Students here like studying a lot.
[01:03.23]They don't go out very often.
[01:06.01]Your friend,Jennifer
[01:09.20]Dear Sam,
[01:10.71]Today is my last day at summer camp⁸.
[01:14.34]I arrived here last Friday.
[01:17.05]I slept in a room with five other boys.
[01:21.38]Every morning we did⁹ exercises for two hours.
[01:26.38]We ran¹⁰ and played basketball.
[01:29.60]In the afternoon we went swimming.
[01:32.90]This is my first time away from my family.
[01:36.14]Life¹¹ here is different from life at home,
[01:39.34]it is not very comfortable¹²,
[01:41.75]and I have to look after myself¹³,
[01:44.28]but I had a good time
[01:45.63]and made¹⁴ some great friends.
[01:48.39]Best wishes! Qiang
[01:52.43]Dear Mom,
[01:54.28]Tommy's parents held a party to welcome me
[01:57.35]at the start of my stay for the week with them.
[02:01.49]Tommy invited¹⁵ many of his classmates
[02:04.11]and friends,and his parents bought so much food
[02:08.51]that there wasn't enough room in the fridge.
[02:12.54]The people at the party were very friendly¹⁶.
[02:17.03]Tim,Tommy's best friend,is a great singer.
[02:22.65]Tim sang¹⁷ one song after another
[02:25.71]and everybody¹⁸ danced and sang with him.
[02:29.87]Then while¹⁹ everybody was eating and chatting²⁰,
[02:34.09]Stephanie,Tommy's sister,played the piano.
[02:39.22]Tommy's parents also gave²¹ me a present.
[02:43.15]I said²² "Thank you"
[02:45.17]and put it on my desk carefully²³,
[02:48.85]but they looked at me strangely²⁴.
[02:52.14]Later,I found²⁵ that I should open it
[02:55.52]in front of them. Love, Yin
[03:01.79]2.2 There was a lot of traffic²⁶,
[03:05.84]so we arrived at the party late.
[03:08.73]When we arrived,
[03:10.30]all the guests²⁷ were already²⁸ there.
[03:13.52]The older members of the family
[03:15.88]were sitting in the dining²⁹ room.
[03:18.24]Most of them were eating.
[03:20.71]One of the young children
[03:22.58]was playing under the table.
[03:25.41]Most of the younger³⁰ adults³¹
[03:27.16]were in the living room.
[03:29.12]They were chatting and telling jokes³².
[03:31.92]Uncle John was playing the piano
[03:35.13]and my aunt Jenny was singing an old song.
[03:39.05]As usual,nobody was listening!
