Dear friend,

    My name is Li Ying. And my English name is Sophia. I'm 13. I'm from Lanzhou, but now I'm in Xi' an. I am a student in a middle school here. And I am in Class Five. I like apples, oranges, strawberries and bananas. For sports, I like playing ping pong best. It's really interesting for me. I can play tennis, too. What fruit do you like? What sports do you play?

Yours,

Li Ying
