Dear mom and dad,
We’re staying with Lingling’s uncle in Hunan Province, and I’m having a wonderful time here in Zhangjiajie. It’s a magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It’s famous for the strange rocks (岩石) . Some of them look like people but others look like animals.
Last night we camped by a small lake. At night, we heard a noise. It woke everyone up. We thought someone was moving around. Lingling’s uncle said it was an animal. We came out and found it was just a hungry monkey looking for food.
This morning, we climbed Mount Tianzi. From the top we hoped to see the lakes and forests. But it was cloudy. We could only see the mountain tops above the clouds. Then we walked down, along a river, past trees and other plants and back to the camp. I picked a flower from a plant, but Lingling’s uncle said it was wrong and we should protect (保护) everything here. I think he is right and I will never do that again.
Tomorrow we’re going to Dongting Lake, the second-largest freshwater lake in China. Although I have wonderful time here, I’m a little homesick. I am counting down (倒数) the days.
Yours,
Betty
