Dear Helen,

    How are you? I'm in Beijing now. I study (学习) in Bayi High School. I like Beijing very much. I have two good friends here. They are Rose and Xu Ting. Rose is from America and Xu Ting is from China. We are in the same class. Xu Ting often helps me with my Chinese. So I can speak a little Chinese now. The teachers are all kind to me.

    I like Chinese food here, like Guangdong food, Sichuan food and Shandong food. They are very nice. For breakfast, I have milk and bread. My favorite food is fiaozi. I often have fiaozi for lunch and noodles (有时) for dinner. Sometimes (面条) we go out to have dinner. What about you?

Yours,

Linda
